12. A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the
requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any
contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to
perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered
contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code
or by Section 10164 or 20183.5 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.
No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project (submitted on
or after March 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor
Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor
Code section 1771.1(a)].
No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project
(awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations
pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5.
This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial
Relations.
As an additional requirement, Assembly Bill 219 adds Section 1720.9 to the Labor Code. This bill
expands the definition of public works under the California Prevailing Wage Law and is a requirement
for this project. For reference, please see: https://www.dir.ca.gov/
Per Labor Code Section 20103.5, a contractor can register at any time prior to bid award and no
contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project
unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section
1725.15.
In general, the prevailing wage scale, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the
State of California, in force on the day this bid was announced or determined by the administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, in force on the day bids are opened,
whichever is higher, will be the minimum paid to all craftsmen and laborers working on this project. In
some cases, prevailing wage determinations have either a single asterisk (*) or double asterisks (**)
after the expiration date in effect on the date of advertisement for bids.
In cases where the prevailing wage determinations have a single asterisk (*) after the expiration date
which are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids, such determinations remain in effect for the
life of the project. Prevailing wage determinations which have double asterisks (**) after the expiration
date indicate that the basic hourly wage rate, overtime, and holiday pay rates, and employer
payments to be paid for work performed after this date have been predetermined. If work is extended
past this date, the new rate must be paid and should be incorporated in contracts the Contractor
enters into.
Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county, or
counties, in which the work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California
Department of Industrial Relations. The wages as set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for
this project will be posted at the job site. It is understood that it is the responsibility of the bidder to
determine the correct scale. The City will keep a copy of the wage scale in the City Clerk’s office for
the convenience of bidders. The State Prevailing Wage Rates may also be obtained from the
California Department of Industrial Relations internet website at http://www.dir.ca.gov. Any errors or
defects in the materials in the City Clerk’s office will not excuse a bidder’s failure to comply with actual
scale then in force.
13. The work performed as part of this contract is subject to the restrictions and requirements of any and
all Federal, State and San Mateo County Health Orders (collectively “Health Orders”) in effect during
the contract period, which may be changed by such government agencies without notice.
14. Said City Representative shall report the results of the bidding to the City Council at a later date, at
which time the City Council may award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder as so reported;
or as City's interest may dictate. The City Council may exercise its right to modify the award or to
reject any or all bids. Any protests to award of contract shall follow the procedures outlined in City
Council Resolution No. 61, dated June 7, 2004.
15. To ensure performance, City reserves the right to retain five percent (5%) of the contract price for 35
days after it records the Notice of Completion. However, pursuant to the Public Contracts Code
Section 22300, Contractor may substitute securities for said five percent (5%) retention or request
that City make payments of retentions earned directly to an escrow agent at Contractor's expense.
The provisions of the Public Contracts Code Section 22300 are hereby expressly made a part of the
contract.
16. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder shall submit all required insurance, bonds and signed
agreements within ten (10) days after being notified of the intent of award.
