3. Bids will be accepted by the District only if the Bidder submitting the bid proposal is on
the District’s informal bidding list for the nature and scope of the work hereunder. The
bid proposal of a Bidder who is not on such list for the nature and scope of the work
shall be rejected for non-responsiveness.
4. In accordance with Public Contract Code section 20111, each bid shall be
accompanied by cash, a cashier’s or certified check, or a bidder’s bond executed by
an admitted surety insurer, made payable to the District, in an amount not less than
ten percent (10%) of the maximum amount of the bid. The bid security shall be given
as a guarantee that the Bidder to whom the Contract is awarded will execute the
Contract Documents and will provide the required payment and performance bonds
and insurance certificates within ten (10) days after the notification of the award of
the Contract.
5. This is a public works project and the successful Bidder shall comply with the
provisions of the Labor Code pertaining to payment of the generally prevailing rate of
wages and apprenticeships or other training programs. The California Department of
Industrial Relations (“DIR”) has made available the general prevailing rate of per diem
wages in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft, classification
or type of worker needed to execute the contract, including employer payments for
health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship and similar purposes. Copies of
these prevailing rates are available to any interested party upon request and are online
at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR. The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall pay not
less than the specified rates to all workers employed by them in the execution of the
Contract. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to determine any rate change. During the
work and pursuant to Labor Code section 1771.4(a), the DIR shall monitor compliance
with prevailing wage requirements and enforce the Contractor’s prevailing wage
obligations.
6. The schedule of per diem wages is based upon a working day of eight (8) hours. The
rate for holiday and overtime work shall be at least time and one half.
7. The substitution of appropriate securities in lieu of retention amounts from progress
payments in accordance with Public Contract Code section 22300 is permitted.
8. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 4100 et seq., each bid shall include the
name, the location of the place of business, the California contractor license number,
and public works contractor registration number of each Subcontractor who shall
perform work or labor or render service or fabricate or install work for the contactor in
excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the contractor’s total bid price. The bid
shall describe the type of the work to be performed by each listed Subcontractor.
9. No bid may be withdrawn for a period of sixty (60) days after the date set for the
opening for bids, except as provided by Public Contract Code section 5100 et seq.
10. The District reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informalities
or irregularities in the bidding.
11. Minority, female, and disabled veteran contractors are encouraged to submit bids.
12. The Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. In
accordance with Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1770 et seq., all Bidders,
contractors and subcontractors working at the site shall be registered with the DIR at
the time the Contract is awarded and at all relevant times. Proof of registration shall
be provided as to all such contractors and subcontractors prior to the commencement
of any work. A bid proposal submitted without Bidder’s DIR registration verification
duly completed and executed and/or without setting forth the DIR registration number
for each Subcontractor identified in the Subcontractor List Form shall result in rejection
of the bid proposal for non-responsiveness.
13. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 3300, the District requires that each Bidder
must possess, at the time the Contract is awarded, the following classifications of
California State Contractor’s License: B
The Contractor’s California State License number shall be clearly stated on the
Bidder’s proposal. Any Bidder not so duly and properly licensed shall be subject to all
penalties imposed by law. No payment shall be made for work, labor, materials, or
services provided under the Contract for the work unless and until the Registrar of
Contractors verifies to the District that the Bidder awarded the Contract is properly and
duly licensed to perform the work.
14. Pursuant to and in accordance with Labor Code section 1771.1, each Bidder shall be
a DIR Registered Contractor when submitting a bid proposal. The bid proposal of a
Bidder who is not a DIR Registered Contractor shall be rejected for non-
responsiveness. All Subcontractors identified in the Bidder’s Subcontractor List Form
shall be DIR Registered Contractors at the time the bid proposal is submitted.
15. The District’s Board has found that the Project is substantially complex and therefore
requires a standard retention amount of five percent (5%).
16. Bidders’ Conference and Site Walk. A mandatory Bidders’ pre-bid conference and site
walk in compliance with Public Contract Code section 6610 will be held at 879 Grant
Elementary School Grant Ave., San Lorenzo, CA 94580, on March 11, 2026 at 2PM for
the purpose of acquainting all prospective Bidders with the Contract Documents and
the Project site. The mandatory Bidders’ pre-bid conference and site walk shall not
occur within a minimum of five (5) calendar days of the publication of the initial notice.
Failure to attend the conference may result in the disqualification of the bid of the non-
attending Bidder.
17. A payment bond is required for a public works contract involving an expenditure in
excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00). Separate payment and
performance bonds, each in an amount equal to 100% of the total Contract amount,
are required, and shall be provided to the District prior to execution of the Contract and
shall be in the form set forth in the Contract Documents. All bonds (Bid, Performance,
and Payment) must be issued by a California admitted surety insurer as defined in
California Code of Civil Procedure section 995.120.
