Malvern Avenue Rehabilitation Project

The Project includes, without limitation, furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment and other incidental and appurtenant work necessary to satisfactorily complete the Project, as more specifically described in the Contract Documents ("Work"). This Work will be performed in strict conformance with the Contract Documents, permits from regulatory agencies with jurisdiction, and applicable regulations. The quantity of Work to be performed and materials to be furnished are approximations only, being given as a basis for the comparison of Bids. Actual quantities of Work to be performed may vary at the discretion of the Engineer. Each prospective bidder ("Bidders") is responsible for fully acquainting themselves with the conditions of the scope of work as it relates to doing work in the City. In accordance with Labor Code Section 1770 et seq., the Project is a "public work" to which the requirements of prevailing wage apply. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1773.2 of the Labor Code, the successful Bidder (hereinafter "Contractor") and its subcontracts, if any ("Subcontractors") shall pay wages in accordance with the determination of the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") regarding the prevailing rate of per diem wages. Copies of such general prevailing rates of per diem wages are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Buena Park, 6650 Beach Boulevard, Buena Park, California, 90621, and are available to any interested party on request. The Contractor shall post a copy of the DIR's determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages at each job site. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Each Bid must be accompanied by a cash deposit, cashier's check, certified check or Bidder's Bond issued by a Surety insurer, made payable to the City and in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the total Bid price submitted. Personal or company checks are not acceptable. Upon Contract award, the Contractor shall provide faithful performance and payment Bonds, each in a sum equal to the Contract Price. The Bonds shall be dated on or after the Effective Date of the Contract, and before the date a notice to proceed from the City is issued. All Bonds must be issued by a California admitted Surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, with a current A.M. Best's rating no less than A:VII, using the forms set forth in the Contract Documents, or in any other form approved by the City Attorney. Failure to enter into the Contract with the City, including the submission of all required Bonds and insurance coverage, within ten (10) Days after the date of the mailing of written notice of contract award to the Bidder, shall subject the Bid security to forfeiture to the extent provided by law. Each Bidder shall possess a valid Class A Contractor's license issued by the California State Contractors License Board, at the time of the Bid submission; provided that if this Project utilizes any federal funding, the successful Bidder must possess such a license at the time of Contract award. The successful Contractor, and Subcontractors, must also possess a current City business license. Five percent (5%) of any progress payment will be withheld as retention. In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, and at the request and expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld may be deposited with the City or with a State or federally chartered bank as escrow agent, which shall then pay such moneys to the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the Project, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor. Alternatively, the Contractor may request that the City make payments of earned retentions directly to an escrow agent at the Contractor's expense. No such substitutions shall be accepted until all related documents are approved by the City Attorney. Liquidated damages shall accrue in the amount of $1,000 for each Day that Work remains incomplete beyond the Project completion deadline specified in the Contract Documents.
