All bids must comply with prevailing wage requirements established by the California Department of Industrial Relations at the time of contract advertisement. Bids must be balanced, with each line item carrying its proportionate share of project costs, overhead, and profit; unbalanced bids are subject to rejection. The City will award to the lowest responsible bidder and permits contractors to substitute securities for retention monies under Public Contract Code Section 22300. All bidders must comply with non-discrimination provisions regarding race, color, and national origin.
