Bidder shall state the California contractor license number on the Designation of Subcontractors form for all subcontractors doing more than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the bidder total bid. An inadvertent error in listing a California contractor license number shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or for considering the bid nonresponsive if the bidder submits the corrected contractor license number to the Owner within 24 hours after the bid opening, or any continuation thereof, so long as the corrected contractor license number corresponds to the submitted name and location for that subcontractor. Subcontractors shall maintain their licenses in good standing through Completion of the Work and all applicable warranty periods. Owner reserves the right to reject any bid as nonresponsive if bidder or any subcontractor is not licensed in good standing from the time the bid is submitted to Owner up to award of the Contract, whether or not the bidder listed the subcontractor inadvertently, or if a listed subcontractors license is suspended or expires prior to award of the Contract. Owner also reserves the right to reject any bid as non-responsive if a listed subcontractor license is not in good standing to perform the work for which it is listed from the time of submission of the bidder bid to award of the Contract.
