This rate and scale are on file with the City Engineer, and copies will be made available to any interested party on request. The contractor to whom the contract is awarded, and the subcontractors under him, must pay not less than these rates for this area to all workers employed in the execution of the contract. At the time of the award of the contract, the successful bidder shall possess a Class "A" contractor's license or a combination of Specialty Class "C" licenses sufficient to cover all of the work to be performed by him. Only a contractor registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) to bid on public works contracts in California shall be permitted to submit a bid. Furthermore, only subcontractors registered with the DIR to bid on public works contracts in California shall be permitted to perform work or labor or render service under subcontract to the subject contractor. In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, the bidder who is awarded the contract may substitute securities for retention moneys withheld by a public agency to ensure performance under this contract. The procedure and requirements for substituting said securities is set forth in Public Contract Code section 22300 which is incorporated by this reference as set forth herein. The proposal may be withdrawn upon request by the bidder without prejudice to himself prior to, but not after, the time fixed for opening of bids, provided that the request is in writing, has been executed by the bidder or his duly authorized representative, and is filed with the City Clerk. No proposal may be withdrawn during the period of ninety (90) calendar days after the opening of proposals. Each bidder shall visit the site of the proposed work and become fully acquainted with the conditions relating to the construction and labor so that the bidder may fully understand the facilities, difficulties and restrictions attending the execution of the work under the contract. Bidders shall thoroughly examine and be familiar with the drawings and specifications. Failure or omission of any bidder to receive or examine any contract documents, form,instrument, addendum or other document or to visit the site and become acquainted with the conditions there shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation with respect to his or her bid or to the contract. No person, firm or corporation shall be allowed to make, file or be interested in more than one bid for the same work, unless alternate bids are specifically called for. A person, firm or corporation that has submitted a sub-proposal to a bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or quoting prices to other bidders or making a prime proposal. If there is a reason to believe that collusion exists among the bidders,all bids will be rejected. The successful bidder's proposal guarantee shall be held until the contract is executed and evidence of insurance, the necessary bonds, sufficiency of surety documents and other documents as specified in the contract documents are submitted. Bid security shall be returned to unsuccessful bidders within twenty (20) days after the successful bidder has signed the contract, submitted evidence of insurance, necessary bonds, sufficiency of surety documents and other documents as specified in the contract documents. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bid or in the bidding. The award of the contract, if made by the City, will be to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The award, if made, will be made within ninety (90) calendar days after the opening of the proposals; provided that the award may be made after said period if the successful bidder has not given the City written notice of the withdrawal of his bid. The proposal shall be made on the bidding schedule ("proposal") herein. The proposal shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope bearing the name of the bidder and the name of the project. The proposal shall be delivered by the time and to the place stipulated in the Notice Inviting Sealed Bids. It is the bidder's sole responsibility to see that his proposal is received in proper time. Any proposal received after the scheduled closing time for receipt of proposals will be returned to the bidder unopened. Bidders or their authorized agents are invited to be present. In case of discrepancy between words and figures, the words shall prevail. If the amounts bid on individual items (if called for) do not in fact add up to the total amount shown by the bidder, the correctly added total of the individual items shall prevail over the total figure shown by the bidder if there is a discrepancy between these figures. The estimated quantities and amounts are for the purpose of comparison of bids only. In selecting the lowest responsible bidder, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing, but also to the general competency of the bidder for the performance of the work covered by the proposal. To this end, each proposal shall be supported by a statement of the bidder's experience on the form entitled, "Information Required of Bidder" found in these contract documents. No agreement for the work will be executed with a contractor who is not licensed in accordance with the laws of the State of California under applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code. The licensing requirements for contractors shall apply also to subcontractors.
