Flooring Repair Services

It is the intent of the County of Santa Clara - Procurement Department to establish a term contract with a contractor to provide FLOORING REPAIR SERVICES on an "as needed" basis ("Contract"). The term contract shall only be used for repair work and replacement of currently existing structures with County approved equivalents. The term contract shall be for a period of one (1) year, unless terminated or otherwise amended. Total contract sum shall not exceed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). Successful contractor shall be responsible for all necessary tools; materials; consumables, which shall include but shall not be limited to workers' supplies or protective garments and disposable items used in furtherance of completing the Work; waste management and disposal; prevailing wage labor; supplies; and non-specialty equipment required to perform the work as specified herein. See Exhibit H , Scope of Work/Specifications, for details. CONTRACTOR'S LICENSING REQUIREMENT The Contractor must possess a C-15 Flooring and Floor Covering Contractor's License issued by the Contractor's State License Board at the time the bid is submitted, per Business and Professions Code section 7028.15. Each bid must be accompanied by cash, a certified or cashier's check, or a bond in the sum of not less than 10% of the total aggregate of the bid price, including all additive bid items. For the purpose of the security for this bid, the total aggregate amount is equal to the Contract Sum of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). The "payment bond for public works" must be in an amount of 100% of the Contract Sum as specified in the Notice to Bidders, and shall inure to the benefit of persons performing labor or furnishing materials in connection with the Work. This bond must be maintained in full force and effect until all Work is completed and Accepted by Owner, and until all claims for materials and labor have been paid. The "performance bond" must be in an amount of 100% of the Contract Sum as specified in the Notice to Bidders, and must be so conditioned as to ensure the faithful performance by Contractor of all Work. It shall also include the replacing, or making acceptable, of any defective materials or faulty workmanship during the Guarantee period(s). Owner and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement, and that Owner will suffer financial loss if the work is not fully complete within the time specified. Owner and Contractor further recognize the delays, expense, and difficulty in proving Owner's losses, and accordingly, instead of requiring such proof, agree that Liquidated Damages shall be assessed in the amount of $250 for each calendar day the Work remains incomplete beyond the Completion Date.
