The successful bidder will be required to furnish the City with a Performance Bond equal to 100% of the successful bid, and a Payment (Labor and Materials) Bond equal to 100% of the successful bid, prior to execution of the Contract. All bonds are to be secured from a surety that meets all of the State of California bonding requirements, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, and is admitted by the State of California. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300, the successful bidder may substitute certain securities for funds withheld by City to ensure performance under the Contract. The Work is subject to the payment of not less than prevailing wages pursuant to Chapter 1 (beginning at Section 1720 et seq.) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the California Labor Code, as well as Title 8, Section 16000 et seq. of the California Code of Regulations ("Prevailing Wage Laws"). The Director of the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") has determined the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which this work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract which will be awarded to the successful bidder, copies of which are on file and will be made available to any interested party upon request at Owners office or online at website. A copy of these rates shall be posted by the successful bidder at the Project site. Pursuant to SB 854, which amended the Prevailing Wage Laws, this Contract is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Beginning March 1, 2015, with very limited exceptions no contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for this Contract unless registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. Beginning April 1, 2015, no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded this Contract unless registered with the DIR pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. The DIR registration number for each contractor and subcontractor must be identified on the bid proposal - failure to identify this number could result in the bid being rejected as non-responsive. It is each bidder's responsibility to ensure that they have fully complied with SB 854. The City will report all necessary contracts to the DIR as required by the Prevailing Wage Laws. The successful bidder and their subcontractor(s) shall comply with all applicable Prevailing Wage Laws, which include, but are not limited to the payment of not less than the required prevailing rates to all workers employed by them in the execution of the Contract, the employment of apprentices, the hours of labor, the payment of overtime, and the debarment of contractors and subcontractors. The successful bidder and all subcontractor(s) under him shall also be responsible for any and all violations and fines imposed on them pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Laws. Before the Contract is awarded, the successful bidder shall be a licensed contractor pursuant to the Business and Professions Code and shall be licensed in the following appropriate classification(s) of contractor's license(s), for the work bid upon, and must maintain the license(s) throughout the duration of the Contract: a valid Class 'A' General Engineering license. The successful bidder must fully comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in furnishing or using equipment and/or providing services, including, but not limited to, emissions limits and permitting requirements imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and/or California Air Resources Board (CARB). Although the SCAQMD and CARB limits and requirements are broader, the successful bidder shall specifically be aware of their application to "portable equipment", which definition is considered by SCAQMD and CARB to include any item of equipment with a fuel-powered engine. The successful bidder will be required to indemnify City against any fines or penalties imposed by SCAQMD, CARB, or any other governmental or regulatory agency for violations of applicable laws, rules and/or regulations by the successful bidder, its subcontractors, or others for whom the successful bidder is responsible under its indemnity obligations. CARB implemented amendments to the In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulations ("Regulation") which are effective on January 1, 2024 and apply broadly to all self-propelled off road diesel vehicles 25 horsepower or greater and other forms of equipment used in California. A copy of the Regulation is available at website. Bidders are required to comply with all CARB and Regulation requirements, including, without limitation, all applicable sections of the Regulation, as codified in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations section 2449 et seq. throughout the duration of the Project. Bidders must provide, with their Bid, copies of Bidder's and all listed subcontractors' most recent, valid Certificate of Reported Compliance ("CRC") issued by CARB. Failure to provide valid CRCs as required herein may render the Bid non-responsive. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 3400(b), if the City has made any findings designating certain materials, products, things, or services by specific brand or trade name, such findings and the materials, products, things, or services and their specific brand or trade names will be set forth in the Special Conditions. Award of Contract: The City shall award the Contract for the Project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as determined from the total bid schedule price. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding process.
