J & S Striping Company Inc.

B. A responsible Bidder is a Bidder who has demonstrated the attribute of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform fully the requirements of the contract documents.

By submitting a Bid, each Bidder agrees that the City, in determining the successful Bidder and its eligibility for the award, may consider the Bidder’s experience with similar types of construction projects and facilities, conduct and performance under other contracts, financial condition, reputation in the industry, and other factors which could affect the Bidder’s performance of the work.

9. DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS
A. Subcontractor Listing. On the Designation of Subcontractors form, the Bidder shall list each Subcontractor whom the Bidder must disclose under the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practice Act, Public Contract Code Section 4104.

B. Subcontractors’ Licenses.

C. Disqualification of a Subcontractor. The City has the right to review the suitability and qualifications of any Subcontractor proposed by the Bidder. As part of this review, the City may request a Bidder to submit additional information about one or more of the listed Subcontractors including, but not limited to a statement detailing the Subcontractor’s experience with pertinent information as to similar projects and other evidence of the Subcontractor’s qualifications. If requested, the Bidder shall provide the information to the City within the time specified in the City’s written request. After due investigation, if the City has a reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, the City may, before giving the notice of award, require the apparent successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute.

However, prior to and as a condition to award of the Contract, the successful Bidder shall substitute a properly licensed and qualified Subcontractor without an adjustment of the Bid Price.

12. EXAMINATION OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND SITE OF WORK A. The Bidder shall examine carefully the site of the Work contemplated and the Drawings and Specifications. The submission of a Bid will be conclusive evidence that the Bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, as to the character, quality, and quantities of Work to be performed and materials to be furnished, the difficulties to be encountered, and to the requirements of the Drawings, Specifications, and other Contract Documents. The Bidder shall ascertain the locations of the existing utility services, and other underground facilities, and provide for carrying out its operations so as to cause the minimum possible inconvenience to the occupants of properties along any streets affected.
