Bids shall be opened and read aloud on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, 3:00PM.

Bidders may attend the opening and reading of the bids virtually. Information on how to attend the opening and reading shall be provided to prospective bidders via the procurement portal, https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/toaks.

The work consists of furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals as required by the Specifications, and Contract Documents. The general items of work include pavement overlay treatment; pavement R&R repair, application of striping and legends; construction of curb ramps at various locations, surface drainage improvements and other miscellaneous asphaltic and concrete work including all appurtenant work.

The Project locations are throughout the City of Thousand Oaks.

Bidders are required to electronically register with the City prior to downloading the Contract Documents. Registration shall be done at the following web address:

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/toaks

When registering, use the NIGP Code(s): 91371, 91395, 91361, 63012, 75543, 91117 and 91327. Prospective bidders may view summary information about solicitations but must be registered at this site and logged in to download the Contract Documents. The Contract Documents may be downloaded at no charge. Registration information will be used to notify prospective bidders via e-mail of addenda to the Contract Documents and will be the sole means of providing such notification.

Bid and Contract Documents may be downloaded free of charge at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/toaks.

To the extent required by Section 20103.7 of the Public Contract Code, upon request, the City shall provide an electronic copy of the Contract Documents at no charge to a contractor plan room service. Prospective bidders who obtain a copy through a plan room, or by other means, must still electronically register with the City in order to receive any addenda to the Bid or Contract Documents.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 20170, all bids must be accompanied by a bid security in one of the following forms: an electronic bid bond via Surety2000 at https://surety2000.com/, or one of the following forms of bid security to be delivered to the City Clerk Department at City Hall before the bid submission date: an original hard copy bid bond on the form included in the Contract Documents, a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the City, or cash, in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the submitted Total Bid Price. PDF copies of a hard copy bid bond will not be accepted.

Prospective bidders intending to submit a bid accompanied by a bid security other than an electronic bid bond must ensure the original document or other form of bid security is received by the City Clerk Department at City Hall before the bid submission deadline.

Failure to provide required bid security shall cause the bid to be deemed incomplete and therefore nonresponsive.

The successful bidder will be required to furnish the City with requisite insurance and Payment and Performance Bonds in an amount equal to 100% of the Contract Price and on the forms included in the contract documents, as outlined in the Instructions to Bidders.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300, the successful bidder may substitute certain securities for funds withheld by City to ensure its performance under the Contract.

Pursuant to Section 1770, et seq. of the California Labor Code, the Contractor and all subcontractors shall pay not less than the prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations and comply with all applicable Labor Code provisions, which include, but are not limited to the employment of apprentices, the hours of labor and the debarment of contractors and subcontractors.

Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. No bid will be accepted nor any contract entered into without proof of the bidder’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the Department of Industrial Relations. Within three working days of the bid opening, the bidder shall submit a valid DIR number. Failure to do so will deem the bid non-responsive. This Project will be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. If awarded a Contract, the Bidder and its subcontractors of every tier shall maintain active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations for the duration of the Project. It shall be the Bidder’s sole responsibility to evaluate and include the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements.

This project is subject to the amendments in Sections 2449, 2449.1, and 2449.2, Title 13, California Code of Regulations for any construction activity starting January 1, 2024, involving the use of off-road diesel-fueled vehicles. The Bidder must provide evidence of their valid California Air Resources Board Certificate of Reported Compliance (Certificate) for their fleets as well as any rental fleet equipment and for all subcontractors listed in the Bid Package. All CARB Certificates must be obtained and valid at the time of bid opening and must be submitted with the bid package or within three working days after the bid opening. No bid will be accepted without verification of the contractor and subcontractors CARB compliance numbers, nor any contract entered into without proof of the contractor’s and subcontractors’ Certificates being valid and current at the time of bid opening, unless the contractor confirms that no equipment subject to the regulation will be used to execute the contract work. Failure to comply may result in the bid to be found non-responsive, and the bid bond forfeited. For additional information regarding CARB requirements, please visit: ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/fact-sheets/fact-sheet-contracting-requirements.

Each bidder shall be a licensed contractor pursuant to the California Business and Professions Code and shall be licensed in the following classification(s) of contractor’s license(s), throughout the duration of the Contract: Class A

The successful bidder will be required to complete all work within 180 calendar days from the commencement date stated in the Notice to Proceed. In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, City will be compensated for damages incurred due to delays for which the Contractor is responsible. The parties agree that determining City’s exact delay damages is and will continue to be impracticable and extremely difficult. As such, for each calendar day in excess of the time agreed upon for completion of the work, the Contractor shall pay to the City $3,500 and not as a penalty or forfeiture. Such amount shall constitute the only payment allowed for damages resulting from Contractor caused delays. The City shall have the right to deduct the amount of liquidated damages from any money due or that may become due under the Contract.

Consistent with Public Contract Code Section 7102, Contractor will be compensated for damages incurred due to delays for which the City is responsible. The parties agree that determining Contractor’s exact delay damages is and will continue to be impracticable and extremely difficult. As such, for each calendar day in excess of the time agreed upon for completion of the work, the City shall pay to the Contractor $3,500 and not as a penalty or forfeiture. Such amount shall constitute the only payment allowed for any City caused delays and shall necessarily include all overhead, all profits, all administrative costs, all bond costs, all labor, materials, equipment and rental costs and any other costs, expenses and fees incurred or sustained as a result of such delays. Notice of requests for delay damages and additional days shall be provided to the City within seven (7) days from the discovery of the circumstances giving rise to any delay or three (3) days from the discovery of any latent or subsurface conditions giving rise to a delay.

The calendar days specified above includes the City’s alternative Friday and Holiday Closures, as well as all legal holidays. Construction work is only authorized within the dates and times as listed in Section 01 11 00 Summary of Work.

Bidders are responsible for consulting the standards referenced in the Contract Documents. Failure of Bidder to so examine and inform itself shall be at its sole risk, and no relief for error or omission will be given except as required under State law.

3. INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

Such submission, if any, must be sent to the project manager by emailing to Pooriya Izadi, pizadi@toaks.gov. All questions must be received no later than 5:00 pm at least 7 calendar days prior to bid opening.

Any interpretation of the Contract Documents will be made only by written addenda duly issued and delivered to each person or firm who has obtained a set of Contract Documents and is registered with the City. The City will not be responsible for any explanations or interpretations provided in any other manner. No person is authorized to make any oral interpretation or modification of any provision in the Contract Documents to any bidder, and no bidder should rely on any such oral interpretation or modification.

Bids shall include complete compensation for all items that are noted in the Contract Documents as the responsibility of the Contractor.

4. INSPECTION OF SITE; PRE-BID CONFERENCE AND SITE WALK

Each prospective bidder is responsible for fully acquainting itself with the conditions of the Site (which may include more than one site as identified in the notice inviting bids), as well as those relating to the construction and labor of the Work, to fully understand the facilities, difficulties and restrictions which may impact the cost or effort required to complete the Work, including transportation, handling and storage of materials, site access and easement considerations, and all other physical or environmental conditions at or near the project site. If a Pre-Bid Conference is required by the Notice Inviting Bids, a Pre-Bid Conference and Site Walk will be held on the date(s) and time(s) indicated in the Notice Inviting Bids.

Storm, surface, nuisance, or other waters may be encountered at various times during construction of the Project. Federal and State laws require the City and its contractors to appropriately manage such waters pursuant to the requirements of California State Water Resources Control Board Order Number 2022-0057-DWQ (NPDES Permit No.

CAS000002), and any subsequent amendment to or renewal thereof, State Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2013-0001-DWQ (NPDES Order No. CAS000004), Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. R4-2012-0077, the Federal Clean Water Act, and the California Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act.

5. ADDENDA

The City reserves the right to revise the Contract Documents prior to the bid opening date.

Revisions, if any, shall be made by written addenda. All addenda issued by the City shall be included in the bid and made part of the Contract Documents. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 4104.5, if the City issues an Addendum which includes material changes to the Work less than 72 hours prior to the deadline for submission of bids, the City will extend the deadline for submission of bids. The City may determine, in its sole discretion, whether an Addendum warrants postponement of the bid submission date. If required by the Notice Inviting Bids, each prospective bidder shall register with the City at the following web address: https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/toaks. Copies of addenda will only be furnished by e-mail to the e-mail address used to register. Please Note: Bidders are responsible for ensuring that they have received any and all addenda.

To this end, each bidder should contact the Project manager Pooriya Izadi, pizadi@toaks.gov, to verify that he/she has received all addenda issued, if any, prior to the bid opening. Failure to acknowledge receipt of all addenda may result in bid rejection.

6. ALTERNATE BIDS

If alternate bid items are called for in the Contract Documents, the lowest bid will be determined on the basis of the base bid only unless otherwise specified in the Notice.

The time required for completion of the alternate bid items has been factored into the Contract Time and no additional time will be allowed for performing any of the alternate bid items, unless specifically noted in the alternate bid item. The City may elect to include one or more of the alternate bid items, or to otherwise remove certain Work from the scope of work. Accordingly each Bidder must ensure that each bid item contains a proportionate share of profit, overhead and other costs or expenses which will be incurred by the Bidder.

7. COMPLETION OF BID FORMS

Bids shall only be prepared using copies of the Bid Forms which are included in the Contract Documents and are provided herein. The use of substitute bid forms other than clear and correct photocopies of those provided by the City will not be permitted.

Bidders shall neither delete, modify, nor supplement the printed matter on the Bid Forms nor make substitutions thereon. USE OF

Deviations in the bid form may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

8. MODIFICATIONS OF BIDS

Each Bidder shall submit its Bid in strict conformity with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Unauthorized additions, modifications, revisions, conditions, limitations, exclusions or provisions attached to a Bid may render it non-responsive and may cause its rejection. Bidders shall neither delete, modify, nor supplement the printed matter on the Bid Forms, nor make substitutions thereon. Oral, telephonic and electronic modifications will not be considered.

9. DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS

Pursuant to State law, the Bidders must designate the name and location of each subcontractor who will perform work or render services to the Bidder in an amount that exceeds one-half of one percent (1/2%) of the Bidder’s Total Bid Price, or if work involves streets or highways, including bridges, an amount that exceeds one-half of one percent (1/2%) or $10,000, whichever is greater, as well as the portion of work each such subcontractor will perform on the form provided herein by the City. No additional time will be provided to bidders to submit any of the requested information in the Designation of Subcontractor form.

Pursuant to Section 7028.5 of the Business and Professions Code, any bid submitted by a contractor not currently licensed in accordance with state law and pursuant to the requirements found in the Contract Documents shall be nonresponsive, and the City shall reject the Bid.

Bidders may be asked to provide evidence in the form of an authenticated resolution of its Board of Directors or a Power of Attorney evidencing the capacity of the person signing the Bid to bind the Bidder to each Bid and to any Contract.

If a Bidder is a joint venture or partnership, it may be asked to submit an authenticated Power of Attorney executed by each joint venturer or partner appointing and designating one of the joint venturers or partners as a management sponsor to execute the Bid on behalf of Bidder. Only that joint venturer or partner shall execute the Bid. The Power of Attorney shall also: (1) authorize that particular joint venturer or partner to act for and bind Bidder in all matters relating to the Bid; and (2) provide that each venturer or partner shall be jointly and severally liable for any and all of the duties and obligations of Bidder assumed under the Bid and under any Contract arising therefrom. The Bid shall be executed by the designated joint venturer or partner on behalf of the joint venture or partnership in its legal name.

Thousand Oaks Blvd., Thousand Oaks, CA 91362. Bidders are fully responsible for ensuring their bid security is received in the City Clerk Department prior to the bid opening. Failure to provide the required bid security prior to the bid opening shall cause the bid to be deemed incomplete and therefore non-responsive. Questions regarding the delivery of a bid security to the City Clerk Department can be submitted to cityclerk@toaks.gov.

Personal sureties and unregistered surety companies are unacceptable. The surety insurer shall be admitted to transact surety business in the State of California, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120. The cash, check or bid bond shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder shall execute the Contract if it be awarded to the bidder, and that the bidder shall provide the required payment and performance bonds and insurance certificates and endorsements as required within ten (10) calendar days after notification of the award of the Contract to the bidder. Failure to provide the required documents may result in forfeiture of the full penal sum of bidder’s bid deposit or bond to the City and the City may award the Contract to the next lowest responsive, responsible bidder, or may call for new bids.

13. SUBMISSION OF SEALED BIDS

Pursuant to Public Contract Code sections 1600 and 1601, once the Bid and supporting documents have been completed and signed as set forth herein, they shall be submitted electronically, along with the required Bid Security as listed in item #12 above, and other required materials at the following address and in the manner prescribed at the website:

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/toaks and in the Notice Inviting Bids. The City reserves the right to reject any bid that does not strictly comply with City’s designated methods of delivery.

14. DELIVERY AND OPENING OF BIDS

Bids will be received by the City by electronic transmission only at the web address shown in the Notice Inviting Bids up to the date and time shown therein. The City will leave unopened any Bid received after the specified date and time, and any such unopened Bid will be returned to the Bidder.

Bids will be opened at the date and time stated in the Notice Inviting Bids, and the amount of each Bid will be read aloud and recorded. All Bidders may, if they desire, virtually attend the opening of Bids as described in the Notice Inviting Bids. The City may in its sole discretion elect to postpone the opening of the submitted Bids. City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids and to waive any informality or irregularity in any Bid.

15. WITHDRAWAL OF BID

16. BASIS OF AWARD; BALANCED BIDS

The City shall award the Contract to the lowest, responsible Bidder that submits a responsive Bid. The City may reject any Bid which, in its opinion when compared to other bids received or to the City’s internal estimates, does not accurately reflect the cost to perform the Work. The City may reject as non-responsive any bid which unevenly weights or allocates costs, including but not limited to overhead and profit, to one or more particular bid items.

17. INTEREST IN MORE THAN ONE BID

A person, firm, corporation or other entity that has submitted a proposal to a bidder, or that has quoted prices to a bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a proposal or quoting prices to other bidders, or from submitting a bid to the City as the Prime Contractor, nor shall such entity be disqualified if it is listed as a subcontractor on more than one bid submitted.

18. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

The successful bidder shall procure and maintain insurance in the form and in the amount specified in the Contract Documents.

19. AWARD PROCESS

Once all Bids are opened and reviewed to determine the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, the City Council or designee may award the contract. The apparent successful Bidder should begin to prepare the following documents: (1) the Performance Bond; (2) the Payment (Labor and Materials) Bond; (3) the required insurance certificates and endorsements; and (4) an Initial Critical Path Method schedule in accordance with Article 6 of the General Conditions. Once the City notifies the Bidder of the award, the Bidder will have ten (10) calendar days from the date of the award to supply the City with all of the required bonds, evidence of insurance and other materials, after which the City will provide the Bidder with the contract, which must be countersigned via electronic signature by the Bidder within 3 business days.

20. BID PROTEST PROCEDURE

Submitted bids will be timely made available for review upon written request of any Bidder.

Any interested party may file a protest of a Bid in accordance with the following procedure:

A. The City will notify all bidders of an intended award or an intent to reject the bidder’s bid.

B. All protests must be filed in writing, by email with the project manager listed in these Instructions and City Engineer, Ted Gerber tgerber@toaks.gov within five 5 business days of the date on the notice of intended award or the notice of intent to reject.

C. All protests shall be in writing, state the grounds for the protest, state the facts relevant to the protest, and all evidentiary support to rebut adverse evidence that it or another bidder was either non-responsive or not responsible.

D. The City Manager or designee shall review the protest and issue a written decision on the protest. The City Manager or designee may base the decision on the written protest alone or may informally gather evidence. If the protested bid has a value of Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($220,000) or less the City Manager’s or designee’s decision shall be final.

E. If a bid is rejected on the grounds that the bidder is not a responsible bidder, the bidder may submit a protest. A hearing will be set within a reasonable time to provide a decision before final approval of the selected low bid. If the protested bid has a value of Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($220,000) or less the City Manager’s or designee’s decision shall be final.

F. If the protested bid has a value exceeding Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($220,000) an appeal of the City Manager’s decision may be filed with the City Council. All such appeals must be in writing and shall be filed with the City Clerk within five 5 business days from the date of the City Manager’s decision.

The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are the sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Bid protest. Failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue the bid protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.

21. WORKERS COMPENSATION

Each bidder shall submit the Contractor’s Certificate Regarding Workers’ Compensation form.

22. RETENTION AND SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITY

The Contract Documents call for monthly progress payments based upon quantities of unit price work performed. Unless otherwise specified in the Notice Inviting Bids, the City will retain five percent (5%) of each progress payment as provided by the Contract Documents. At the request and expense of the successful Bidder, the Contractor may substitute securities for the amount so retained in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300.

23. PREVAILING WAGES

NOTES:

(F) Denotes Final Pay Item per Caltrans Standard Section 9-1.02C.

Final Pay Item Quantities – a final pay item is shown for payment purposes only. For a final pay item, accept payment based on the Bid Item Quantity Listed, regardless of the actual quantity used unless dimensions are changed by the Engineer.

Bidders must provide pricing for every bid item. If the City provides a bid item cost for “Mobilization,” Bidders shall incorporate that item cost into the bid without modification. If the cost for Mobilization is not listed in the bid items, the value for Mobilization shall not exceed the percentage listed in Article 40 of the General Conditions.

The estimated quantities for unit price items are for bidding purposes only and the City makes no representation that the actual quantities of work performed will not vary from the estimates.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the item cost set forth for a unit price item, the item cost, calculated at the unit price multiplied by the estimated quantity shall prevail and shall be utilized as the basis for determining the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. However, if the amount set forth as a unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or is the same amount as the entry in the “Item Cost” column, then the amount set forth in the “Item Cost” column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price. If any of the above discrepancies exist, the City may recalculate the bid price on the basis of the unit price and the bidder agrees to be bound by such recalculation. Final payment for unit price items shall be determined by the City from measured quantities of work actually performed.
