Pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770, et seq., the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations has determined the general prevailing rate of wages in the County of San Mateo for each craft, classification, or type of workman needed to execute the contract. The prevailing rates so determined are based on an 8-hour day, 40-hour week, except as otherwise noted.

It shall be mandatory upon the Contractor and upon any sub- contractors under him, to pay not less than the said specific rates to all laborers, workmen or mechanics employed by them in the execution of these contracts. Pursuant to recently enacted legislation (SB 854, Stat. 2014, chapter 28) effective January 2015, no contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)]. No contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project and no subcontractor may perform any public works project unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. All contractors and subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (aka Division of Labor Standards Enforcement). A bond of $250,000.00 will be required for the faithful performance of each contract, and a separate bond in the amount of $250,000.00 will be required to guarantee the payment of wages for services engaged and for materials used in the performance of each contract. If the collective total of Job Orders issued exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars, an increase in the payment and performance bond will be required in an amount of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Maximum Contract Value.

The work to be done consists, in general, of providing all labor, materials, tools, appurtenances, and equipment required as well as any other items and details not mentioned above but required by the Contract Documents and as directed by the Director of Public Works. This Job Order Contract (JOC) is an indefinite quantity contract pursuant to which the Contractor will perform a variety of individual Projects, consisting of specific construction tasks, at different locations. The scope of these JOC Contracts is for plumbing contracting services to include repair, replacement and other related repetitive plumbing work to be performed for the County. The bid documents include a Construction Task Catalog (CTC) containing a series of construction tasks with preset Unit Prices. The CTC was developed using experienced labor and high-quality materials. All Unit Prices are based on local labor, material and equipment prices including the current prevailing wages and are for the direct cost of construction. The Contractor will bid six Adjustment Factors to be applied to the Unit Prices, including: General Facilities Normal Working Hours, General Facilities Other than Normal Working Hours, Detention Facilities Normal Working Hours, Detention Facilities Other than Normal Working Hours, OSHPD Facilities Normal Working Hours and OSHPD Facilities Other than Normal Working Hours. The Normal Working Hours are between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm and the Other than Normal Working Hours are any and all hours outside Normal Working Hours including all day Saturday, Sunday and County Holidays. The Other than Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor must be equal to or greater than the Normal Working Hours Adjustment Factor. The price of an individual project will be determined by multiplying the preset Unit Prices and the appropriate quantities by the appropriate Adjustment Factor. All Adjustment Factors shall apply to every Pre-priced Task in the Construction Task Catalog. All Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog are priced at a net value of 1.0000. The Adjustment Factors shall be an increase or decrease to all the Unit Prices listed in the Construction Task Catalog. For example, 1.1000 would be a 10% increase to the Unit Prices and 0.9500 would be a 5% decrease to the Unit Prices. Bidders who submit separate Adjustment Factors for separate Unit Prices will be considered non-responsive and their bid will be rejected.
