prequalification documents on forms provided by the District. These documents will be the basis for
determining which bidders are qualified to bid on this Project.

required or if Trade Contractor’s bid amount exceeds approved prequalification amount. Prequalification
documents are available from the Quality Bidders at https://www.qualitybidders.com/pages/how_it_works.
Prequalification documents must be submitted and approved by the District by January 20, 2026 at

period of time after submission of their prequalification documents, but not less than five business days

subcontractors (contractors that hold C-4, C-7, C-10, C-16, C-20, C-34, C-36, C-38, C-42, C-43 or C-46
licenses), such MEP subcontractors must also be prequalified. A list of prequalified MEP subcontractors
will be made available by the District to all bidders at least five business days prior to the bid opening date.
It is the responsibility of the bidder to ensure that all MEP subcontractors holding any of the licenses listed
above are properly prequalified before submitting a bid. This prequalification requirement applies even if
the subcontractor will perform, or is designated to perform, work that does not require one of the licenses
listed above, but the subcontractor holds one of the licenses listed above.

In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the District will permit the
substitution of securities for any moneys withheld by the District to ensure performance under the Contract.
At the request and expense of the Trade Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be

pay such moneys to the Trade Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the securities shall
be returned to the Trade Contractor.
Each bidder’s bid must be accompanied by one of the following forms of bidder’s security: (1)
cash; (2) a cashier’s check made payable to the District; (3) a certified check made payable to the District;
or (4) a bidder’s bond executed by a California admitted surety as defined in Code of Civil Procedure
Section 995.120, made payable to the District in the form set forth in the Contract Documents. Such
bidder’s security must be in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the maximum amount of bid as a
guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed Contract, if the same is awarded to such bidder, and
will provide the required Performance and Payment Bonds, insurance certificates and any other required

security will be forfeited.
The Contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with the requirements set forth in Division 2,

of worker needed to execute the Contract. These per diem rates, including holiday and overtime work, as
well as employer payments for health and welfare, pension, vacation, and similar purposes, are on file at

the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract
for public work, as defined in the Labor Code, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public

contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by
Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform
public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
