Bidders not attending the conference will be disqualified. Bids must be accompanied by a bidder's bond, cashier's check, or certified check for at least ten percent (10%) of the amount of the base bid(s) and made payable to the Owner. If a bid bond is used, it must be issued by an Admitted Surety (an insurance organization authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact surety insurance in the State of California during this calendar year), which shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into a Contract if awarded the Work and will be declared forfeited, paid to, or retained by the Owner as liquidated damages if the bidder refuses or neglects to enter into the Contract provided by the Owner after being requested to do so. The surety insurer must, unless otherwise agreed to by Owner in writing, at the time of issuance of the bond, have a rating not lower than "A-" as rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or other independent rating companies. Owner reserves the right to approve or reject the surety insurer selected by Contractor and to require Contractor to obtain a bond from a surety insurer satisfactory to the Owner. When award is made to the successful bidder, it shall submit a certification if required by Public Contract Code section 3006(b). Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20103.8 (d) the lowest bid shall be determined in a manner that prevents any information that would identify any of the bidders or proposed subcontractors or suppliers from being revealed to the public entity before the ranking of all bidders from lowest to highest has been determined. If the Owner awards the contract within 5 or less working days after the bid opening, the low bidder would not have the full 5 working days to withdraw its bid under Public Contract Code section 5103. By submitting a bid, all bidders acknowledge this potential shortened time to withdraw its bid and waive all rights to the full 5-day statutory period. Pursuant to the Contract Documents, the successful bidder will be required to furnish a Payment (Labor and Material) Bond in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum, and a Faithful Performance Bond in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum, said bonds to be secured from Admitted Surety insurers (an insurance organization authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California during this calendar year). The surety insurers must, unless otherwise agreed to by Owner in writing, at the time of issuance of the bonds, have a rating not lower than "A-" as rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or other independent rating companies. Owner reserves the right to approve or reject the surety insurers selected by the successful bidder and to require the successful bidder to obtain bonds from surety insurers satisfactory to the Owner. The bidder will be required to furnish insurance as set forth in the Contract Documents. The successful bidder will be allowed to substitute securities or establish an escrow in lieu of retainage, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300, and as described in the Agreement Between Owner and Contractor and General Conditions. The Owner will not consider or accept any bids from contractors who are not licensed to do business in the State of California, in accordance with the California Public Contract Code, providing for the licensing of contractors. In accordance with Section 3300 of said Code, the bidder shall have a Class "C-33" license and shall maintain that license in good standing through Project completion and all applicable warranty periods. Bidder shall list all subcontractors doing more than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the bidder's total bid on the Designation of Subcontractors form; all listed subcontractors shall have valid and current licenses at the time of the bid; and bidder shall state such license number on such form. Subcontractors shall maintain their licenses in good standing through Project completion and all applicable warranty periods. Owner reserves the right to reject any bid if bidder is not licensed in good standing at the time of the bid or anytime thereafter, or if a listed subcontractor is not licensed in good standing at the time of the bid or anytime thereafter to do the work for which it is listed. The Director of Industrial Relations of the State of California, in the manner provided by law, has ascertained the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and rate for legal holidays and overtime work.

CMU may also conduct on-site visits to each Project job site at its discretion. Contractor shall display a mandatory poster at the Project job site as described by 16451, subd. (d), of title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. Owner shall withhold contract payments when CMU issues Owner a notice to withhold such payments upon a finding by CMU that payroll records are delinquent or inadequate. In addition to withholding contract payments based on delinquent or inadequate payroll records, penalties may be assessed for failure to timely comply with a written request for certified payroll records. Further, upon a finding by CMU that Contractor is liable for unpaid wages or penalties, the Labor Commissioner may issue and serve a Civil Wage and Penalty Assessment.
