apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained
from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship,

exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each calendar day of non-compliance pursuant
to Labor Code Section 1777. The responsibility for compliance with this section shall rest
upon the Contractor.
Interest in More Than One Bid:
No bidder shall be allowed to make, submit or be interested in more than one bid for the
same work unless alternate bids are specifically called for. However, a person, firm,

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BIDDERS
PREPARATION OF PROPOSAL FORMS
1. Preparation: The City invites bids, on the forms attached under "Bid Submittal
Package," to be submitted until the time and at the place set for the opening of bids
in the published "Notice to Contractors." Bids not presented on forms so furnished
will be disregarded. All bids must be under sealed cover. The City will not accept
any bids or bid modifications submitted by facsimile or electronic mail transmission.
The Bids forms are contained herein, together with the Notice to Contractors,
Agreement and Special Provisions. The Bids forms within these documents may be
detached therefrom. The bid shall set forth the unit price bid clearly in legible figures,
in the respective space provided in the Bid Schedule, and shall be signed by the
bidder, who shall fill out all blanks in the bid forms as herein required.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for the item, the
written unit price shall prevail, provided, however, if the amount set forth as a unit
price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or in the
case where the unit price is the same as the entry in the "Total" column, then the
amount set forth in the "Total" column for the item shall prevail in accordance with
the following:
A. As to the lump sum items, the amount set forth in the "Total" column shall be
the unit price.
B. As to the unit price items, the amount set forth in the "Total" column shall be
divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall
be the unit price.
Any error in the addition of the amounts constituting the items of the Bid Schedule
will be corrected and such corrected total(s) shall be used to determine the
successful bidder. All prices or sums shall include all sales and other taxes which
may be applicable.
The bid must be executed in accordance with these instructions and the instructions
contained on the forms provided. If the bidder is an individual or a partner, the
signature on the bid and the Bid Bond must be the same as the name of the bidder
shown on other parts of these forms. (Showing the name as "J.E. Doe" and the
signature as "John E. Doe" may be considered as an irregularity.)
2. Ethics in Bidding: The City expects the bidders to maintain high ethical standards
in engaging in the competitive bidding process. The bid amount of one bidder should
not be divulged to another before the award of the subcontract or order, nor should
it be used by bidders to secure a lower bid from another bidder on that project (bid
shopping). Subcontractors or suppliers should not request information for the bidder
regarding any sub-bid in order to submit a lower proposal on that project (bid
8
Citywide Slurry Seal and Roadway Maintenance Program 2026
CIP 2026-02

peddling). The City will consider any bidder found to be engaging in such practices
to be a non-responsible bidder and may reject its bid on that ground.
3. Modifications on the Submitted Bid: Each Bidder shall submit its Bid in strict
conformity with the requirements. Modifications, changes or additions to the bid may
be considered an irregularity. Erasures, interlineations, or corrections in preparing
the bids must be initialed by the person(s) signing the bid in the margin immediately
opposite the correction. Alternate proposals will not be considered unless called for.
Unauthorized additions, modifications, revisions, conditions, limitations, exclusions
or provisions attached to a Bid may render it non-responsive and may cause its
rejection. Bidders shall not delete, modify, or supplement the printed matter on the
Bid Forms, or make substitutions thereon. Oral, telephonic and electronic
modifications will not be considered.
4. The Award of the Contract: If made by the City, will be as specified in the Notice
to Contractors Inviting Bids.
5. No Telephone Availability: Bidders are advised that on bid date telephones will not
be available at the City Administrative Offices for use by bidders or their
representatives.
6. Bid Guarantee: Each bid shall be accompanied by cash, a certified or cashier's
check, or a bidder's bond in the amount of not less than 10 percent of the maximum
amount of the bid; the check or bond made payable to the order of the City of Santee.
Said check or bond shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder will, within ten (10)
days after being requested to do so by the City, enter into a contract and provide the
required bonds and insurance contracts if awarded the work; if the bidder to whom
the work has been awarded and to whom the request has been made refuses or
fails to enter into said contract and provide the required bonds and insurance
contracts within the specified time, the check shall be forfeited to the City or the
Contractor and surety on the bond shall be liable to the City for the amount thereof
in accordance with its terms. No interest shall be paid on funds deposited with the
City. When the lowest responsible bidder executes and delivers to the City the
required contract documents, the bid bond or the certified or cashier's check will be
returned to the unsuccessful bidder no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the
award of contract.
7. Disqualification of Bidders: A bidder shall be considered disqualified for any of
the following reasons:
(a) Submitting more than one bid from the same partnership, firm, or corporation
under the same or different name.
(b) Evidence of collusion among bidders. Bidders participating in such collusion
shall be disqualified as bidders for any future work of the City until any such
participating bidder has been reinstated by the City as a qualified bidder.
