Each Bid shall be in accordance with the Contract Documents.

2. Plans

Additional copies of full scale plans may be obtained as specified in the Invitation to Bid.

3. Local Conditions

a) The quantities of work or material stated in the unit price items of the Bidding Schedule are given only as a basis for the comparison of Bids, and the City does not represent or warrant that the actual amount of work or material will correspond therewith, but reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantity of any unit price item of the work as may be deemed necessary or expedient by the Engineer.

b) The Bidder shall examine carefully the site of the work contemplated and the Contract Documents. The submission of a proposal shall be conclusive evidence that the Bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, as to the character, quality and quantities of work to be performed and the materials to be furnished, and as to the requirements of the Contract Documents.

c) Where the Engineer has made investigations of surface and subsurface conditions in areas where work is to be performed under the Contract, or in other areas, some of which may constitute possible local material sources, such investigations were made only for the purpose of study and design. Where such investigations have been made, bidders or Contractor may, upon written request, inspect the records of the Engineer as to such investigations subject to and upon the conditions hereinafter set forth. Such inspection of records may be made at the office of the Engineer.

d) The records of such investigations are not a part of the Contract and are made available for inspection solely for the convenience of the Bidder or Contractor. It is expressly understood and agreed by Bidder or Contractor that neither the City nor the Engineer assumes any responsibility whatsoever with respect to the sufficiency or accuracy of the investigations thus made, the records thereof, or of the interpretation set forth therein or made by the Engineer in his use thereof and there is no representation, warranty or guarantee, either express or implied, that the conditions indicated by such investigations or records thereof are correct or representative of those existing throughout such areas or any part thereof, or that unanticipated developments may not occur or that materials other than, or in proportions different from, those indicated may not be encountered.

e) The availability or use of information described in this section or the special conditions is not to be construed in any way as a waiver of the provisions of this section and a Bidder or Contractor is cautioned to make such an investigation and examination as it deems necessary to satisfy itself as to conditions to be encountered in the performance of the work and, with respect to possible local material sources, the quality and quantity of material available from such property and the type and extent of processing that may be required in order to produce material conforming to the requirements of the Specifications.

Page | 1-5

f) No information derived from such inspection of records of investigations or compilations thereof made by the Engineer or the Engineer’s assistants, will in any way relieve the Bidder or Contractor from any risk or from properly fulfilling the terms of the Contract.

g) Information derived from inspection of topographic maps, or from Plans showing location of utilities and structures will not in any way relieve the Contractor from any risk, or from properly examining the site and making such additional investigations as it may elect, or from properly fulfilling all the terms of the Contract.

h) Each Bidder shall inform itself of, and the Bidder awarded a Contract shall comply with, federal, state and local laws, statutes, and ordinances relative to the execution of the work. This requirement includes, but is not limited to, applicable regulations concerning employment of labor, protection of public and employee safety and health, protection, the protection of natural resources, fire protection, burning and non-burning requirements, permits, fees, and similar subjects.

4. Form of Bid and Signature

(7) Bidder’s Checklist

6. Preparation of Bid

Blank spaces in the Bid shall be properly completed. The phraseology of the Bid must not be changed and no additions shall be made to the items mentioned therein. Unauthorized conditions, limitations or provisions attached to a Bid will render it informal and may cause its rejection. If erasures, interlineations or other changes appear on the form, each erasure, interlineation or change must be initialed by the person signing the Bid. Alternative bids will not be considered unless specifically provided for in the Bidding Schedule. No Bid received after the time fixed, or received at any place other than the place stated in the Invitation to Bid will be considered. All bids will be opened and read publicly. Bidders, their representatives and other interested parties are invited to be present at the opening. Where bonds are required, the Bidder shall name in its Bid the surety or sureties who have agreed to furnish said bonds.

7. Bid Security

(a) All Bids shall be accompanied by a Bid Security. Such Bid Security shall include cash, cashier’s or certified check made payable to the City or a Bid Bond executed by an admitted surety insurer. The Bid Security must be enclosed in the same envelope with the Bid.

8. List of Subcontractors

(a) Each Bidder shall set forth in its Bid on the form provided the following information in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code sections 4100-4113:

(1) The name, Contractor ‘s license number, public works Contractor registration number and the location of the place of business of each Subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render service to the prime Contractor in or about the construction of the work or improvement, or a Subcontractor licensed by the State of California who, under subcontract to the prime Contractor, specifically fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to the Contract Documents, in any amount in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the prime Contractor’s total Bid, or ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), whichever is greater.

9. Interpretation of Contract Documents

Any explanation desired by the bidders regarding the meaning or interpretation of any of the Contract Documents must be submitted in writing at least five (5) calendar days prior to the Bid opening. Requests for clarification received after the above noted deadline may be answered at the discretion of the Engineer or Project Manager. Any such explanations or interpretations will be made in the form of Addenda to the documents and will be furnished to all bidders who shall submit all Addenda with their Bids. Neither the Engineer nor any representative of the City is authorized to give oral explanations or interpretations of Contract Documents, and a submission of a Bid constitutes agreement by the Bidder that it has placed no reliance on any such oral explanation or interpretation. However, the Engineer may, upon inquiry by bidder, orally direct the bidder’s attention to specific provisions of the Contract Documents which cover the subject of the inquiry.

Requests for Clarifications during the Bid period shall be sent in writing through https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityofwestsacramento.

Page | 1-8

10. Modification of Bids

A Bidder may modify its Bid by written communication provided such communication is received by the City prior to the closing time for receipt of Bids. The written communication should not reveal the Bid price but should state the addition or subtraction or other modification so that the final prices or terms will not be known by the City until the sealed Bid is opened.

11. Withdrawals of Bids

Bids may be withdrawn without prejudice by written or facsimile requests received from Bidder prior to the time for opening of Bids, and Bids so withdrawn will be returned to bidders unopened when reached in the process of opening Bids. No Bid may be withdrawn after the hour affixed for opening Bids without rendering the accompanying Bid Security subject to retention as liquidated damages in like manner as in the case of failure to execute the Contract after award, as in the Contract Documents herein provided. Negligence on the part of the Bidder preparing its Bid shall not constitute a right to withdraw the Bid subsequent to the opening of Proposals.

12. Discrepancies

In the case of discrepancy between unit prices and totals, unit prices will prevail and the City will recalculate the Bid total based on the unit prices and estimated quantities. In case of discrepancy between words and figures, words will prevail.

13. Servicing and Maintenance

Each Bidder must, if requested, furnish evidence that there is an efficient service organization which regularly carries a stock of repair parts for the proposed equipment to be furnished and installed in the work and that the organization is conveniently located for prompt service.

14. Disqualification of Bidders

(a) More than one Bid from an individual, firm, partnership or corporation under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any individual, firm, partnership or corporation is interested in more than one Bid for the work contemplated may cause the rejection of all Bids in which the individual, firm, partnership or corporation is interested. If there is reason for believing that collusion exists among the bidders, any or all Bids may be rejected. Bids in which the price is obviously unbalanced may be rejected.

(b) All bidders are put on notice that any collusive agreement fixing the prices to be Bid so as to control or affect the awarding of this Contract is in violation of the competitive bidding requirements of the Public Contract Code and may render void any Contract let under such circumstances.

15. Opening & Award of Contract

Bids will be opened publicly and read aloud at the time and date established in the invitation to Bidders. Bid Summaries may be made available to Bidders after the Bid Date.

Page | 1-9

(a) The City reserves the right to accept or reject any and all Bids for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of opening, and to waive any informality or irregularity in any Bid.

No Bid can be withdrawn during that period, except pursuant to Public Contract Code section 5102, et seq.

(b) The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including, without limitation, the right to reject any non-conforming, non-responsive, unbalanced, or conditional bids.

(c) Before a Bid is considered for award, the City may, in addition to the Experience & Qualifications form included in the Bid documents, require a Bidder to submit a statement of facts and detail as to its business, technical organization and financial resources and equipment available and to be used in performing the work. Additionally, the City may require evidence that the Bidder has performed other work of comparable magnitude and type. The City expressly reserves the right to reject any Bid if it determines that the business and technical organization, equipment, financial and other resources or other experience of the Bidder (including the bidder’s Subcontractors) is not sufficiently qualified for the work Bid upon and, therefore, justifies such rejection.

(d) The award of the Contract, if it is awarded, will be to the lowest responsive responsible Bidder whose Bid complies with the requirements set forth herein.

(e) The issuance by the City of a notice to the successful Bidder of the award of the Contract (“Notice of Award”) shall be deemed the Award of Contract.

16. Bid Protests

The lack of a prompt procedure to resolve disputes regarding the bidding process would impair the City’s ability to carry out its purpose of constructing this project in a timely manner.

Therefore, to the maximum extent authorized by law and notwithstanding any other procedures specified in documents referenced herein, all disputes and/or protests regarding the bidding process shall be subject to the following procedure. In submitting a Bid to the City for this project, the Bidder agrees to comply with and to be bound by this procedure.

Any Bid protest must be submitted in writing to the Director of Public Works of the City of West Sacramento before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) working day following Bid opening.

(a) The initial protest document must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest, and all supporting documentation.

(b) The party filing the protest must have actually submitted a Bid for the Work. A Subcontractor of a party submitting a Bid for the Work may not submit a Bid protest. A party may not rely on the Bid protest submitted by another Bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest.

(c) The protest must refer to the specific portion of the Contract Documents which forms the basis for the protest.

(d) The protest must include the name, address and telephone number of the person representing the protesting party.

(e) The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the initial protest document and any attached documentation to all other parties with a direct financial interest which may be adversely affected by the outcome of the protest. Such parties shall include all

Page | 1-10 other Bidders who appear to have a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest.

(f) The City will give the protested Bidder five (5) working days after the receipt of the protest to submit a written response. The responding Bidder shall transmit the response to the protesting Bidder concurrent with delivery to the City.

(g) The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are the Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Bid protest. The Bidder’s 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.

(h) If the City determines that a protest is frivolous, the protesting Bidder may be determined to be non-responsible and that Bidder may be determined to be ineligible for future contract awards.

17. Contract Bonds

(a) The successful Bidder shall furnish both a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of its Total Bid Price.

(b) These Bonds shall be furnished in the forms enclosed following the Contract and shall be satisfactory to the City and shall be obtained from a responsible corporate surety (or sureties) acceptable to the City, which is admitted by the State of California to act as surety upon bonds and undertakings and which maintains in this State at least one office for the conduct of its business. The surety (or sureties) shall furnish reports as to its financial condition from time to time as requested by the City. The premiums for said Bonds shall be paid by the successful bidder.

(c) These Bonds shall be furnished by companies who are authorized and licensed by the Insurance Commissioner as an “admitted surety insurer.” The surety shall provide the City with the documentation required by Section 995.660 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(d) If any surety becomes unacceptable to the City or fails to furnish reports as to its financial condition as requested by the City, the Contractor shall promptly furnish such additional security as may be required from time to time to protect the interests of the City and of persons supplying labor or materials in the prosecution of the work contemplated by this Contract.

(e) In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Contract and the terms of the Bonds, the terms of the Contract shall control and the Bonds shall be deemed to be amended thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the City shall be entitled to exercise all rights granted to it by the Contract in the event of default, without control thereof by the surety, provided that the City gives the surety notice of such default at the time or before the exercise of any such right by the City, and, regardless of the terms of said Bonds, the exercise of any such right by the City shall in no manner affect the liability of the surety under said Bonds.

Page | 1-11

18. Substitution of Securities for Monies Withheld

Bidders are hereby notified that in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code section 22300, securities may be substituted for any monies which the City may withhold pursuant to the terms of the Contract to insure performance.

19. Execution of Contract

The successful Bidder will be notified in writing by the City of the award of the Contract within sixty (60) days after opening of Bids. Accompanying the City’s Notice of Award will be the Contract, in triplicate, which the successful Bidder will be required to execute and return, together with the Performance Bond and Payment Bond, and the required certificates and policies of insurance together with the required endorsements thereto for the Contractor and the workers compensation certificate to the City within ten (10) days following receipt of such Notice of Award. Failure to do so shall be just cause for annulment of the award and for forfeiture of the Bid Security which shall be retained as liquidated damages, and it is agreed that the bond sum is a fair estimate of the amount of damages that the City will sustain by reason of such failure. The City will promptly determine whether such Contract, Bonds and insurance are as required by the Contract Documents, and upon such determination will forward a fully executed copy of the Contract and a Notice to Proceed with the work to the successful bidder. Signature by both parties constitutes execution of the Contract. In the event of failure of the lowest responsible Bidder to sign and return the Contract with acceptable Bonds and insurance as prescribed herein, the City may award the Contract to the next lowest responsible bidder, and, in the event that Bidder fails to sign and return the Contract with acceptable Bonds and insurance, the City may award the Contract to the then next lowest responsible bidder, etc.

20. Return of Bid Securities

All Bid Securities will be held until the Contract has been finally executed, after which all Bid Securities, other than any Securities which have been forfeited, will be returned to the respective bidders.

21. Power of Attorney

The Attorney-in-Fact (resident agent) who executes the Performance Bond and Payment Bond on behalf of the surety company must attach a copy of its Power of Attorney as evidence of its authority. A notary shall acknowledge the power as of the date of the execution of the surety bond which it covers.

22. Time of Completion

The time of completion of the work to be performed under this Contract is the essence of the Contract. Delays and extensions of time may be allowed in accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions. The time allowed for the completion of the work is stated in the Contract.

23. Licensing and Registration Requirements for Contractors

All bidders, including general contractors and specialty contractors, shall hold such licenses as may be required by the laws of the State of California for the performance of the work specified in the Contract Documents.

Page | 1-12

All bidders, and Subcontractors subject to Public Contract Code section 4104, must have registered with the California State Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 prior to submitting a bid.
