Statement of Bidder’s Qualifications

All information or responses of a Bidder in its Bid

Proposal and other documents accompanying the Bid

Proposal shall be complete, accurate and true;

responsiveness.

1.04 Job-Walk. The District will conduct a MANDATORY

[ONE TIME ONLY] PRE-BID JOB WALK for the Work to

be held at the location, date and time stated above.

1.05 Prevailing Wage Rates, Employment of Apprentices

and Labor Compliance Program. The Project is subject

to the provisions of Labor Code §§1720 et seq. and

regulations set forth in Title 8 §§16000 et seq. of the

California Code of Regulations which govern the payment

of prevailing wages on public works projects. All Bidders,

and their subcontractors, shall be governed by and

required to comply with these statutes and regulations in

connection with the Project including, but not limited to,

the requirement that all Bidders and their

subcontractors be registered with the California

Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) pursuant

to Labor Code § 1725.5. Pursuant to Labor Code §1771,

the Contractor receiving award of the Contract and

Subcontractors of any tier shall pay not less than the

prevailing wage rates to all workers employed in the

execution of the Contract. Bidders shall comply with

applicable statutes and regulations, including but not

limited to Labor Code §§ 1771, 1775, 1777.5, 1813 and

1815.

Pursuant to Labor Code §1773, the Director of the DIR

has determined the generally prevailing rates of wages in

the locality in which the Work is to be performed.

Pursuant to Labor Code §1773.2, copies of these

determinations, entitled “PREVAILING WAGE SCALE”,

are maintained at the District’s offices located at the

above address and are available to any interested party

upon request. Copies of rate schedules are also available

on the Internet at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/DIR/S&R/

statistics_research.html. The Contractor awarded the

Contract for the Work shall post a copy of all applicable

prevailing wage rates for the Work at conspicuous

locations at the Site of the Work.

The Project will be subject to labor compliance monitoring

and enforcement by the Compliance Monitoring Unit

within the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and

the contractors, and all subcontractors, shall be required

to furnish certified payroll records directly to the

Department of Industrial Relations Labor

Commissioner/Compliance Monitoring Unit.

1.06 Contractor’s License Classification. In accordance

with the provisions of California Public Contract Code §§

3300, the District requires that Bidders possess the

following classification(s) of California Contractors

License at the time that the Contract for the Work is

awarded: “C-7 and/or C-10”.

1.07 Bid Security. Each Bid Proposal shall be accompanied

by Bid Security in an amount not less than TEN

PERCENT (10%) of the maximum amount of the Bid

Proposal, inclusive of any additive Alternate Bid Item(s).

Failure of any Bid Proposal to be accompanied by Bid

Security in the form and in the amount required may

render such Bid Proposal to be deemed non-responsive

and rejected by the District.

1.08 Fingerprinting. The successful Bidder will be required to

assure that its employees, subcontractors of any tier,

material suppliers, and consultants do not have direct

contact with the District’s students during the performance

of the Contract in compliance with Education Code

§§45125.1 and 45125.2. To ensure these provisions,

Bidder’s supervisory personnel shall submit their

fingerprints to the California Department of Justice in

sufficient time to have the application(s) processed prior

to start of on-site Work. The supervisor(s) will

continuously monitor the workers’ conduct while on school

grounds. In addition, the successful Bidders shall

barricade the Work area to separate its workers from the

students. All costs associated with this process are the

responsibility of the successful Bidders.

1.09 No Withdrawal of Bid Proposals. Bid Proposals shall

not be withdrawn by any Bidder for a period of ninety (90)

days after the opening of Bid Proposals. During this time,

all Bidders shall guarantee prices quoted in their

respective Bid Proposals.

1.10 Substitute Security. In accordance with the provisions

of California Public Contract Code §22300, substitution of

eligible and equivalent securities for any monies withheld

by the District to ensure the Contractor’s performance

under the Contract will be permitted at the request and

expense of the Contractors.

The foregoing

notwithstanding, the Bidders to whom the Contracts are

awarded shall have ten (10) days following action by the

District’s Board of Education to award the Contracts to

such Bidders to submit their written requests to the

District to permit the substitution of securities for retention.

The failure of any Bidder to make such written request to

the District within said ten (10) day period shall be

deemed a waiver of the Bidder’s rights under California

Public Contract Code §22300.

1.11 Waiver of Irregularities. The District reserves the right

to reject any or all Bid Proposals or to waive any

irregularities or informalities in any Bid Proposal or in the

bidding.

1.12 Award of Contract. The Contracts for the Work, if

awarded, will be by action of the District’s Board of

Trustees to the responsible Bidder submitting the lowest

responsive Bid Proposal. If the Bid Proposal requires

Bidders to propose prices for Alternate Bid Items, the

District’s selection of Alternate Bid Items, if any, for

determination of the lowest priced Bid Proposal and for

inclusion in the scope of the Contract to be awarded shall

be in accordance with this Notice and the Instructions for

Bidders.

1.13 Inquiries and Clarifications. This document is for

informational purposes and shall not relieve the Bidder of

the requirements to fully familiarize itself with all the

factors affecting the Project and the Bid. The Bidder is

advised that all inquiries and clarifications about the Bid

Documents, Drawings, Specifications, etc., shall be

submitted to the District in writing at least five (5) days

prior to the date and time of scheduled bid opening and

receipt of proposals. The District will respond at its

earliest possible opportunity. Oral communication by

either party with regard to this matter is invalid.

1.14 Alternate Bid Items.

SELECTION BY PRIORITIZATION

The Bid Alternates are listed in order of highest priority

(i.e., Alternate No. 1 is the highest priority and so on). If

the Base Bid amount is less than the Project Budget,

additive Bid Alternate amounts will be added in priority

order until another Alternate cannot be added without

exceeding the Project Budget. The Contract will be

awarded, if at all, on the basis of the Base Bid amount

plus the largest possible number of additive Bid Alternates

while remaining at or within the Project Budget. If the

Base Bid amount exceeds the Project Budget, deductive

Bid Alternate amounts will be deducted from the Base Bid

amount in priority order (lowest numbered Alternate to

highest) until the amount is less than or equal to the

Project Budget. The Contract will be awarded, if at all, on

the basis of the Base Bid amount minus the fewest

possible number of deductive Bid Alternates while

remaining at or within the Project Budget. The District

may award the Contract on the basis of the Base Bid only

if no combination of Base Bid amounts plus additive Bid

Alternates can be accomplished within Project Budget,

provided that the Base Bid amount is less than or equal to

the Project Budget.

1.15 Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises Participation

Goals. The District has established a participation goal of

three percent (3%) for Disabled Veteran Business

Enterprises (“DVBE”) for the Work of the Project. The

District’s forms of DVBE Participation Program Policy and

Report are included in the Contract Documents.
