Contract time is 30 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Liquidated damages are $1,000 per calendar day for delays beyond contract time.

Prevailing wage rates as determined by the State Director of Industrial Relations apply; contractors and subcontractors are mandated to pay no less than specified rates to all workers and maintain current Department of Industrial Relations registration throughout the project. All bids must include bid security of not less than 10% of the maximum bid amount in the form of cash, cashier's check, certified check, or bidder's bond from a California-admitted surety. The successful bidder must provide separate Performance and Payment Bonds, each equal to 100% of the total contract amount, prior to contract execution. Bids must include non-collusion affidavits and subcontractor lists. Minority, women, and disabled veteran contractors are encouraged to submit bids. The contract is not subject to Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise requirements or labor compliance programs under Labor Code Section 1771.5. Bidders may not withdraw bids for 60 days after opening.
