R. Apprenticeable Crafts:

If the work is being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, Bidder shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777. 5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works when Bidder employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade.

U. Safety Requirements/Violations
Safety at the Project site during performance of the work is of paramount concern to the City. Accordingly, bidders must not have committed any serious violations within the last two (2) years or any willful violations within the last five (5) years of federal or state OSHA regulations. Bidders must identify the number of OSHA violations on the INDUSTRIAL SAFETY RECORD form. Any serious or willful violation may render a bid as non-responsive. We strongly encourage full disclosure since failure to identify all violations on the INDUSTRIAL SAFETY RECORD form may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive or the bidder as non-responsible following a hearing. A citation properly appealed through OSHA is not considered to be a violation until the matter is closed and considered final by OSHA. The City still expects this information to be disclosed by the bidder, with an explanation and documentation showing that the matter is NIB No. 23-032SB Section II. “Instructions to Bidders”, Page 7 of 13 CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPT WRF1 TRUCK SCALE BID
properly under appeal with OSHA and not considered closed or final. Failure to be forthcoming with this information may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive.

V. Local Bidder Preference Program
This bid shall be subject to the City of Corona local bidder preference program. To qualify, bidders must be a “local business” with: (i) fixed facilities with one or more employees, which may include a sole proprietor, located at an address within City limits (a post office box alone is insufficient); and (ii) an appropriate City business license/permit. Bidders seeking to qualify for this local program shall provide supporting information and certify in writing that they meet the above requirements as part of the bid submittal.

A qualifying local business shall be entitled to a reduction of five percent (5%) in the tabulation of its bid for purposes of determining the lowest responsible bidder, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

The Local Program shall be applicable to only purchases of materials, supplies, and equipment as well as contracts for maintenance work and other general services projects, which are competitively bid and which involve an expenditure of two-hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) or less. For recurring purchases, the Local Program shall be applicable only to the City’s first two-hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) worth of such purchases for any fiscal year, as determined by city staff in its sole discretion.

The Local Program shall also establish a preference for the purchase of materials, supplies, and equipment, as well as contracts for maintenance work and other general services, which are competitively bid and which involve an expenditure of more than twohundred thousand dollars ($200,000). Such preference shall allow the City to take into consideration the net sales tax to be returned to the City as a result of an award to a qualifying Local Business in determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The net sales tax shall be calculated based on the applicable bid price provided by the bidder in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy.

W. Vendor Performance
It is the intent of the City to create a long-term working partnership with the supplier. The City’s representative will complete a Vendor Performance Evaluation Form on a periodic basis. An example of this type of form is included in Section IV and will be the basis for periodic assessments by the City to establish contract performance metrics.

X. Public Records
Responses (bids) to this NIB and the documents constituting any contract entered into thereafter become the exclusive property of the City and shall be subject to the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq. ). The City’s use and disclosure of its records are governed by this Act.

NIB No. 23-032SB Section II. “Instructions to Bidders”, Page 8 of 13 CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPT WRF1 TRUCK SCALE BID
Those elements in each bid which Bidder considers to be trade secrets, as that term is defined in Civil Code Section 3426. 1(d), or otherwise exempt by law from disclosure, should be prominently marked as “TRADE SECRET”, “CONFIDENTIAL”, or “PROPRIETARY” by Bidder. The City will use its best efforts to inform Bidder of any request for disclosure of any such document. The City shall not in any way be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any such records including, without limitation; those so marked if disclosure is deemed to be required by law or by an order of the Court.

In the event of litigation concerning disclosure of information Bidder considers exempt from disclosure, the City will act as a stakeholder only, holding the information until otherwise ordered by a court or other legal process. If the City is required to defend an action arising out of a Public Records Act request for any of the contents of Bidder’s bid marked “Confidential”, “Proprietary”, or “Trade Secret”, Bidder shall defend and indemnify the City from all liability, damages, costs, and expense, including attorneys’ fees, in any action or proceeding arising under the Public Records Act.

To insure confidentiality, Bidders are instructed to upload separate files for all “Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or “Trade Secret” data when submitting their bid documents. The file names shall include the words “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or “Trade Secret". Because bid documents are available for review by any person after award of a contract resulting from a NIB, the City shall not in any way be held responsible for disclosure of any “Confidential,” Proprietary,” or “Trade Secret” documents that are not uploaded as separate files and include “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or “Trade Secret" as part of the file name.

Y. Filing of Bid Protests
Bidders may file a “protest” of a bid with the City’s Purchasing Manager. In order for a bidder’s protest to be considered valid, the protest must:

1. Be filed in writing within five (5) calendar days after the bid opening date.

2. Clearly identify the specific irregularity or accusation.

3. Clearly identify the specific City staff determination or recommendation being protested.

4. Specify, in detail, the grounds of the protest and the facts supporting the protest.

5. Include all relevant, supporting documentation with the protest at time of filing.

If the protest does not comply with each of these requirements, it will be rejected as invalid.

If the protest is valid, the City’s Purchasing Manager, or other designated City staff member, shall review the basis of the protest and all relevant information. The Purchasing Manager will provide a written decision to the protestor within fourteen (14) calendar days. The protestor may then appeal the decision of the Purchasing Manager to the Finance Director within five (5) calendar days of the date of the written decision from the NIB No. 23-032SB Section II. “Instructions to Bidders”, Page 9 of 13 CITY OF CORONA UTILITIES DEPT WRF1 TRUCK SCALE BID
Purchasing Manager. The Finance Director will provide a written decision to the protestor’s appeal. The decision from the Finance Director is final and no further appeals will be considered.

Question No. 5:

On page 2 of the NIB, the requirement for any sub contractors > $25,000 to provide a Payment Bond.

On page 2 of 3 in Section 1 of the Advertising Notice the fourth paragraph is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The successful bidder will be required to furnish the City with a Payment (Labor and Materials) Bond equal to 100% of the successful bid, prior to execution of the Agreement. All bonds are to be secured from a surety that meets all of the State of California bonding requirements, as defined in Civil Code of Procedure Section 995.120 and is admitted by the State of California.
