Site work for a road / highway in Los Alamitos, California. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The City of Los Alamitos proposes to remove and replace existing overhead illuminated street name signs at signalized intersections with new reflectorized overhead street name signs. The work to be done consists of furnishing all materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals as required by the Plans, Specifications, and Contract Documents. In accordance with the provisions of California Public Contract Code 3300, and Business and Professions Code 7028.15(e), the Agency has determined that the contractor shall possess a valid Class A or C-45 contractor's license at the time that the contract is awarded. Failure to possess the specified license shall render a bidder's bid as non- responsive and shall bar award of the contract to any bidder not possessing the specified license at the time of the award. CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE LICENSED AND REGULATED BY THE CONTRACTORS' STATE LICENSE BOARD. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING A CONTRACTOR MAY BE REFERRED TO THE REGISTRAR, CONTRACTORS' STATE LICENSE BOARD, P.O. BOX 2600, SACRAMENTO, CA 95826. At the time the contract is awarded, the contractor shall be properly licensed in accordance with the laws of this state. The first payment for work or material shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the Agency that the records of the Contractors' State License Board indicate that the contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractors' State Board. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security of the bidder.
