Failure of the Bidder or a listed Subcontractor to be registered at the time of bidding shall render the Bid non-responsive and unavailable for award. Notice is hereby given that the Project is subject to the requirements of Public Contract Code section 20111.6 as a project funded under the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 or a project that involves a projected expenditure of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more and is funded from a state school bond. As such, the District will accept Bids only from Bidders prequalified by the District. In addition, any electrical, mechanical, and plumbing subcontractors (as defined by Public Contract Code section 20111.6(k) and all subcontractors holding a class A or B license that will perform any type of work covered by the specialty licenses listed in section 20111.6(k)) must be prequalified by the District.

The District will not consider any Bid in which the Bidder, or any Subcontractor that was required to be prequalified, is not actually prequalified within five (5) days before the bid date. If the bidder will not perform the mechanical, electrical and/or plumbing (MEP) work itself, then a prequalified MEP subcontractor must be listed on the subcontractor listing form, including specifically identifying mechanical, electrical and/or plumbing in the "portion" of work. Contractor License Classification Required: Class A or B Attendance for duration of meeting is mandatory and each prime contract bidder (referred to as "Bidder" or "Bidders") shall be required to certify, as part of its Proposal Form, that it attended the entirety of the Pre-Bid conference. Failure to include the certification will render the bid non-responsive. Failure to attend the mandatory, Pre-Bid conference waives the right to submit a bid. For all Pre-Bid visits (other than the Pre-bid conference), Bidder must make an appointment with the District Representative prior to visiting the Site. Section 1.03 Overall coordination of the Project will be the responsibility of the District Representative. All inquiries regarding the bid are to be directed to District Representative, Windy Buller, windyb@capitalpm.com.
