8 g) Non-Collusion Declaration
h) Bid Security Form (with bid bond, cash, certified check or cashier’s check included)

Registered bidders may obtain the Contract Documents through the City’s Electronic Bidding System. If any bid forms are missing from the Contract Documents obtained by the Bidder, directly from OpenGov Procurement or through other means, it shall be the Bi dder's responsibility to contact the Agency and obtain all required Bid Document forms prior to submitting a bid.

Blank spaces in the Bid shall be properly filled in (using figures in the Bid Schedule). The Bid shall contain an acknowledgment of receipt of all addenda.

The phraseology of the Bid must not be changed, and no addition shall be made to the items mentioned therein. Alternative bids shall not be considered unless specifically requested and authorized by the Agency.

The Bid shall be signed in accordance with the “Instructions for Signing Bids, Bonds, and Contracts”, included in the Contract Documents, and as required by the City’s Electronic Bidding System.
.

The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basi s items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item. Unit prices shall not exceed two (2) decimal places.

All extensions of the unit prices bid and sums will be subject to verification by the Agency. If the unit prices entered by the Bidder exceed two (2) decimal places, the Agency will only use the first two (2) digits after the decimal points without rounding up or down.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:

a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;

b) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one -tenth, or one -hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage -wise the unit price or item total in the Agency's Final Estimate of cost.

Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the item total shall prevail.

9 If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregul ar unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

A Bid shall be considered irregular if certain situations occur, including, but not limited to, the following:

a) The Bid contains blank spaces that are not properly filled in. b) The Bid contains unauthorized provisions, conditions, limitations, or alternatives. c) The Bid is either not typewritten or not printed in ink. d) The Bid contains interlineations, alterations, erasures, clerical errors or is otherwise illegible or unclear, or not properly initialed.
e) The Bid is not properly signed in accordance with the instructions. f) The Bid contains unit prices and/or item totals that are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted.
g) The Bid contains a significant “material” difference between the bid total written in figures, the bid total written in words, and/or the sum of the item totals after any math errors are corrected.

Bidder’s failure to submit the Bid on time through the City’s Electronic Bidding System, submit a complete Bid using all of the required Bid forms provided in the Contract documents or addenda, include a price for any Bid item that requires the Bidder to s ubmit a price, acknowledge all addenda, or submit the appropriate Bid Security shall render the Bid non -responsive and shall be cause for its rejection.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 1771.1(b) of the California Labor Code – the Agency will not accept bid or enter into a Contract without proof of the contractor’s current registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Section 1725.5.

The Agency, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and to waive any informalities or minor irregularities in the Bids, unless waiving such irregularity would give a competitive advantage to a Bidder.

8. ALTERNATIVE SCHEDULES

Bidders are directed to review the BID SCHEDULE and the appendices for details regarding the alternate bid items, if included.

The Agency will evaluate the bids based on the total amount of the Base Bid Items, and will not include the Alternate Bid Item(s) in determining the lowest responsible bidder.

82 (a) Minimum Water Quality Protection Requirements:
(1) Eroded sediments and other pollutants must be retained on site and may not be transported from the Work site via sheet flow, swales, area drains, natural drainage, tracking by vehicles or equipment, or wind. Erosion from slopes and channels shall be controlled by implementing an effective combination of BMPs, such as the limiting o f grading scheduled during the rainy season; planting and maintenance of vegetation on slopes; and cover to prevent or minimize erosion of susceptible slopes. (2) Stockpiles of earth and other work -related materials must be protected from being transported from the site by wind or water.
(3) Fuels, oils, solvents, and other toxic and non -toxic substances shall be stored in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions. All storage containers shall be protected from the weather. Fuels, oils, solvents, and other toxic substances originat ing from the Contractor’s operations shall not be allowed to contaminate the soil, storm water or surface waters or enter the ground water or be placed where they will enter a live stream, channel, drain, or other water conveyance facility.
(4) The Contractor may not wash excess or waste concrete onto the ground or into the public rights of way or any drainage system. Provisions shall be made to retain concrete wastes onsite with containment until it can be appropriately disposed of or recycled. (5) Trash and construction-related solid wastes must be deposited into a covered receptacle to prevent contamination of rainwater and dispersal by wind. (6) Vehicle and equipment traffic shall not track sediments and other materials from the construction site. The Contractor must stabilize the entrance roadways to the construction site to inhibit sediments from being deposited into the public rights of wa ys. Accidental depositions must be swept up immediately and may not be washed down by rain or by any other means. All loose soil and debris shall be removed from street areas upon starting operations and periodically thereafter as directed by the City Engineer. (7) Non-storm water, wash water and runoff from equipment and vehicle washing and any other activity shall be contained at the construction site. (8) The Contractor shall protect all new and existing storm drain system structures from sedimentation, or other construction related debris and discharges with gravel bags and filter fabric or by any other equal product or measure acceptable to the City E ngineer.

Accumulated debris shall be cleaned up and properly disposed of by the Contractor to prevent the materials from entering or being carried into storm water conveyances. (9) When making sawcuts in pavement, use as little water as possible and perform during dry weather. Cover each storm drain inlet completely with filter fabric or plastic during the sawing operation and contain the slurry by placing straw bales, sandbags, or gravel dams around the inlets. After the liquid drains or evaporates, shovel or vacuum the slurry residue from the pavement or gutter and remove from site. Alternatively, a small onsite vacuum may be used to pick up the slurry as this will prohibit s lurry from reaching storm drain inlets.
(10) Pavement marking:
• Schedule pavement marking activities for dry weather. • Develop paint handling procedures for proper use, storage, and disposal of paints. • Transfer and load paint and hot thermoplastic away from storm drain inlets. • Provide drop cloths and drip pans in paint mixing areas. • Properly maintain application equipment.

6-1.1 Construction Schedule. Within ten (10) Working Days after execution of the Contract or at the Pre-Construction Meeting, and prior to the commencement of work, the Contractor shall submit its proposed construction schedule to the Engineer using a scheduling program (e.g. Microsoft Project, Oracle’s Primavera or other approved equal program capable of producing the required information).

The construction schedule shall be in the form of a tabulation, bar or Gantt chart, or graph satisfactory to the Engineer, and in sufficient detail to show chronological rel ationship of all activities on the Project. Said activities include, but are not limited to, estimated start and finish dates of all tasks that make up each bid item , submittal of shop drawings to the Engineer for approval, procurement of materials, and scheduling of equipment. Along with the construction schedule, the C ontractor shall submit a cash -flow projection showing the anticipated amount of each monthly payment that will become due the Contractor in accordance with the construction schedule.

The Contractor shall schedule and stage the Work on all streets to cause the least possible inconvenience to vehicular traffic (including busses and trash vehicles) , bicyclists, pedestrians, adjacent businesses, local residences and schools.

The Contract time listed in the Specifications is the Agency’s best estimate of how long it will take to complete the Work. The construct ion schedule shall reflect all C ontract requirements, shall recognize the requirements of Subsection 402-5 (“DELAYS DUE TO UTILITY CONFLICTS .”), and shall Docusign Envelope ID: 435BC255-2852-404A-B659-95B947933360 06/24/2025

102
reflect completion of all work under the contract, including Punchlist items, in the specified time and in accordance with the Project Specifications and Plans. No schedule shall call for completion of the Project before or after the Contract completion date. The Project owns the float time and is not for the exclusive benefit of any Party. As such, liability for delay of the project completion date rests with the party actually causing the delay to the project completion date. By way of the Contractor assigning activity durations and proposing the sequence of the work, the Contractor hereby agrees to utilize sufficient and necessary management and other resources to perform the work in accordance with the construction schedule.

A Notice to Proceed shall be issued after the Pre-Construction Meeting, provided the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and the Construction Staging / Traffic Control Plan have been submitted by the Contractor and accepted by the Engineer, and all other appropriate Contract requirements are fulfilled. The Work shall start within ten (10) Working Days thereafter, and shall be diligently prosecuted to completion within the time provided in the Project Specifications.

For projects of forty-five (45) Working Days or more, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer an updated construction schedule each month, showing the actual progress of the Work, as part of the Partial Payment request. Monthly progress payments are conditioned upon the Engineer receiving from the Contractor the monthly schedule update. Schedule updates must accurately reflect the “as- built” schedule. All changes to the schedule shall be highlighted or otherwise identified. Approved Change Orders shall also be incorporated in the updated schedule. It is highly recommended that a narrative be included with each update. The narrative should include a description of any logic changes made to the Project, a commentary as to gains and losses to critical and near critical activities, and a quantificati on of the gains and losses to the critical path. Failure to provide an updated construction schedule may result in withholding Contract payments until one is submitted.

If the Contractor desires to make a major change in the method of operations after commencing construction, or if the schedule fails to reflect the actual progress of the Work for any reason, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a revised construction schedule in advance of beginning revised operations. In the event that an action either by the Agency or the Contractor results in a delay to the schedule, it is beneficial if the parameters pertaining to that action are recorded as they happen.

6-1.3 Pre-Construction Meeting.

Add the following new subsection:

6-1.3 Pre-Construction Meeting. A Pre-Construction Meeting shall be scheduled after the award and prior to construction.

6-4.4 Written Notice and Report.

Replace the paragraph in this subsection with the following:

6-4.4 Written Notice and Report. If the Contractor desires payment for a delay as specified in Subsection 6-4.3 (“Payment for Delays.”), or an extension of time, it shall file with the Agency a written request and report of cause within ten (10) Working Days after the beginning of the event or occurrence giving rise to the delay.

105
In the event a suspension of work is ordered because of failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out orders given or to perform any provisions of the Work, such suspension of work shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to complete the Work within the time limit set forth herein and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for completion and, further, such suspension of work shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation.

If the work is suspended or otherwise not continuously prosecuted for any cause whatsoever, within or without the time for completion, the Contractor shall, at his sole cost and expense, remove and replace all or any portion of the work already completed and inspected which Agency, at its sole discretion, could have been damaged during the suspension of work.
