GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

1. INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

a. Submit your bid in a sealed envelope addressed to the Board of Public Works; 200 N.

Spring Street, Room 355; Los Angeles, California 90012. All envelopes must show the project title and the bidder's name and address, with "BID ENCLOSED" indicated in bold letters, and must be received at the above address not later than the time and date designated on Page 1-1 of the bid proposal. Bidders shall use a separate sealed envelope for each bid submitted. Bidders are invited to be present for opening of bid proposals at the above address, at the time indicated above. No facsimile, telegraphic or telephonic bids, or telegraphic modifications of bids will be accepted.

b. State in numerical figures the unit prices, lump sum prices and extensions for item totals as indicated. These shall be the prices for which you propose to supply all materials and services and perform all work required by the contract documents; including, but not limited to, plans, specifications and addenda. All items described are to be construed as complete and in place.

c. Fill in all indicated blanks on the Schedule of Work and Prices. Initial all changes. Any omission(s) will render the proposal irregular and may cause its rejection, unless the omission(s) can be calculated by the City in accordance with d. or e. below.

d. Both the Unit Price and Item Total must be entered for each bid item listed on the Schedule of Work and Prices. The amount of your bid for this proposal shall be a sum of the Item Totals for all bid items. If Unit Prices are left blank and/or Item Totals are left blank, such omissions will be evaluated in the manner set forth below:

1) In the situation when the Unit Price is left blank, but the Item Total for that item is shown, the Unit Price will be calculated by dividing the Item Total for the item by the number of units.

2) In the situation when the Unit Price is listed, but the Item Total for that item is left blank, the Item Total price for the item will be calculated by multiplying the Unit Price by the number of units.

3) In the situation when the Item Total for one item is left blank and the Unit Price for that same item is also left blank, and all other Item Totals and the Total Bid Amount have been filled in, then the value of that Item Total will be calculated by totaling all Item Totals and subtracting their value from the Total Bid Amount. Thereafter the Unit Price can be calculated as described in d.1, above, if necessary.

4) In the situation when more than one Item Total is left blank and the value of the blank items cannot be calculated in the manner described in d.2, above, the bid shall be found to be irregular and rejected as non-responsive.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND

INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS (CONTINUED)

4-2

5) In the situation when only the Total Bid Amount for the project is left blank, and/or, if in addition, any lump sum total for an item(s) is left blank, but is capable of calculation as described in d.2, above, and/or, if in addition the Unit Price of any item(s) is left blank, but is capable of calculation as described in d.1, above, then the Total Bid Amount will be calculated by the City.

e. In case of discrepancy between the Unit Price and the Item Total for a bid item, the Unit Price shall prevail. However, if the Unit Price or the Item Total is ambiguous, unintelligible, and/or identical to the entry in the Item Total column, or uncertain for any cause, then both Unit Price and the Item Total shall be considered by the City as a blank and calculated as described in d.1, d.2, d.3, or d.5, above, whenever possible. Should more than one Item Total be ambiguous, unintelligible, and/or identical to the entry in the Unit Price column, then the provisions of d.4, above, shall govern.

f. In the situation of a lump sum basis bid item, when such bid item is the only bid item on the Schedule of Work and Prices, the Total Bid Amount shall prevail in all cases. The Total Bid Amount shall be shown in figures and also spelled out (in words). If any discrepancy exists between the price in figures and the price spelled out for the Total Bid Amount, the spelled out price shall prevail. If there is a discrepancy between the Total Bid Amount shown in figures and the price spelled out is ambiguous, unintelligible or omitted, then the bid shall be found to be irregular and rejected as non-responsive.

g. By submitting a bid for this project, the City will presume that the bidder has: (1) personally visited the site where the work is to be performed and the vicinity surrounding the site where the work is to be performed prior to submitting its bid to the City; and (2) ascertained the existence of any surface or subsurface conditions affecting the cost of the work. Based upon this presumption, the bidder cannot raise or claim any additional compensation for any surface or subsurface conditions affecting the cost of the work which were obvious had the bidder visited the site where the work was to be performed and the vicinity surrounding the site where the work was to be performed. (NOTE: The Project Location listed on the first page of the Proposal indicates the map page and grid location of the project taken from the current edition of the Thomas Guide available to City staff on the date the project was advertised for bids. This is a map reference location for internal City information purposes only and any mistakes or changes caused by newer editions of the Thomas Guide shall not be considered grounds for protest. It is each bidder's responsibility to personally visit the site where the work is to be performed and ascertain its location and not rely solely upon the Project Location indicated in the Proposal).

h. Do not change the wording on any pre-printed dollar amounts on the Schedule of Work and Prices. Any additions, deletions, conditions, limitations, provisions or unbalanced bid by the bidder will render the proposal irregular and may cause its rejection.

i. A pre-printed Unit Price or Item Total on the Schedule of Work and Prices is considered an allowance or fixed cost at the time of bid. The City will use the pre-printed amounts in computing the final Total Bid Amount.

j. The City reserves the right to recalculate all Total Bid Amounts. If the City’s recalculation results in any amount that is different from the Total Bid Amount submitted by any bidder, the City's calculations shall prevail.

4-3

2. BID PROTEST PROCEDURES - The purpose of these procedures is to provide a method for resolving, prior to award, protests regarding the award of construction contracts by the City, by and through its Board of Public Works. These procedures are for the benefit of the City and are not intended to establish an administrative requirement which must be exhausted by the protesting bidder prior to pursuing any legal remedy which may be available. For this reason, no bidder shall have any right to due process, should the City fail to follow these procedures for any reason within its discretion. However, failure by a bidder to follow the protest procedures as discussed below will create the presumption that any subsequent legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction is of no merit. These procedures will enable the Board of Public Works to ascertain all of the facts necessary to make an informed decision regarding the award of the contract.

a. A protest relative to a particular bid must be submitted in detail and in writing via email to

Arsen Voskerchyan at eng.plandist@lacity.org within one (1) working day after the receipt of bids no later than 4 p.m.

If any bidders have any questions in regards to obtaining the bid documents for this project from the Los Angeles Regional Alliance Marketplace for Procurement (www.RAMPLA.org), email the Project Manager at elaine.lei@lacity.org.

Bidders are advised that the Board of Public Works has not authorized any other agency, internet service, or plan room distributor other than the City of Los Angeles Regional Alliance Marketplace for Procurement (www.RAMPLA.org) to distribute or sell bid documents for this project. Bidders are therefore further advised that submission of a bid on documents other than those obtained from the City of Los Angeles Regional Alliance Marketplace for Procurement may cause the bid to be deemed non-responsive.

Senate Bill 854

1. All contractors and subcontractors who bid, or work on a public works project must register with the state and pay an annual fee of $300.00 to the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). In order to register, contractors must have valid workers compensation insurance; they must not have any outstanding assessments owed to either the state or any other warding body, or to any workers; and they cannot be debarred on any list (either federal, state, or local).

2. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal (submitted on or after March 1, 2015) for a public works project unless they are registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5.

3. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract on a public works project (awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless they are registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5.

4. No contractor or subcontractor may work on a contract on a public works project (bid on or after

March 1, 2015, or awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless they are registered with the DIR.

5. An awarding body may not accept a bid or enter into a contract for public works with an unregistered contractor.

6. The DIR maintains a current list of registered contractors at:

https://efiling.dir.ca.gov/PWCR/Search.action.

7. While the new law does require that all contractors and subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records (ECPR) directly to the Labor Commissioner’s Office, contractors and subcontractors working on City of Los Angeles public works projects (as well as those working for three other select awarding bodies, and projects covered by qualifying project labor agreements) are exempt from this requirement. (Note: Any contractor working on a project for a City department or agency which does not utilize the Bureau of Contract Administration’s services must submit their payrolls through the state’s ECPR system to the Labor Commissioner’s Office and submit the project to the state for monitoring and enforcement. The new law will apply to any project awarded by a City department for constriction, alteration, installation, demolition, maintenance, or repair.

8. Violation of the requirements mandated by SB 854 will result in any public works contract entered into with any contractor or subcontractor who has not registered being subject to cancellation.

9. A contractor who fails to pay the renewal fee on or before the expiration of the prior period of registration shall be prohibited from bidding on or engaging in the performance of any contract for the public work until they are once again registered. If the failure to pay the renewal fee was inadvertent, the contractor may renew its registration retroactively by paying an additional penalty renewal fee equal to the amount of the renewal fee within 90 days of the due date of the renewal fee. (If the original renewal fee was $300.00, the total amount for renewal including the penalty renewal fee would be $600.00.)

10. If the renewal fee is paid subsequent to 90 days, the contractor will be eligible to bid on public works projects again only if they pay an additional nonrefundable penalty registration fee of $2,000.00 in addition to the annual registration fee (if the original renewal fee was $300, the total amount for renewal including the penalty renewal fee would be $2,300.00).
