This meeting is Mandatory, ALL Contractors attending will be required to sign in at the time of arrival and are also required to stay for the

duration of the Pre-Bid Meeting.

All questions concerning this project shall be requested through the project website at https://projects.infinitycomm.com. All requests for

information shall be submitted not less than five (5) days prior to the opening of the bid. Any questions submitted after the question deadline

will not be answered. All questions will be submitted through the project website. Bidders shall submit only one question submittal. Al

questions shall be included in the single submittal. DO NOT submit single question submittals. Failure to comply with this requirement may

result in the bidders response being negatively scored or rejected completely for failure to comply with the requirements of the RFP.

Each bid must conform and be responsive to the contract documents.

The projects and services depend on partial funding from the E-Rate program. The OWNER expects each Contractor to make themselves

thoroughly familiar with any rules or regulations regarding the E-Rate program. All contracts entered into as a result of these Form 470’s will

be contingent upon specific funding by the SLD at the percentage rate submitted. The percentage rate applicable to a particular Form 471

is the maximum that the District is liable for. The Contractor will be responsible to bill the government (USAC) for the balance. No billing or

work shall be commenced before April 1, 2026. On the day of the bid the Contractor shall supply their Service Provider Identification Number

(SPIN) and must certify that their SPIN is “current”.

This project is anticipated to start after April 1, 2026, and is anticipated to have a duration of 160 days. All work shall be completed per the

project schedule but no later than the project finish date. Liquidated damages in the amount of $500.00/day are included in this contract. All

work shall be completed per the project schedule but no later than August 2027.

The OWNER reserves the right to reject any or all bids and/or waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding process.

Each bid package will be awarded separately and independent of one another. The OWNER may, at their option, choose to award the

projects to one contractor or any combination of contractors.

The OWNER 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 this contract. These rates are on file at the SCHOOL DISTRICT office located at location. Copies may

be obtained upon request. A copy of these rates shall be posted at each jobsite. The schedule of per diem wages is based upon a working

day of eight (8) hours. The rate for holiday and overtime work shall be at least time and one-half.

It shall be mandatory upon the contractor to whom the contract is awarded (CONTRACTOR), and upon any subcontractor under

him, to pay not less than the said specified rates to all works employed by them in the execution of the contract. It is the

CONTRACTOR’S responsibility to determine any rate change that may have or will occur during the intervening period between

each issuance of written rates by the Director of Industrial Relations. During the Work and pursuant to Labor Code §1771.4(a)(4),

Page 4 of 103

Santa Barbara Unified School District Public Works Project 0872-26C.1

the Department of Industrial Relations shall monitor compliance with prevailing wage rate requirements and enforce the

Contractor’s prevailing wage rate obligations.

Each Bidder must be a DIR Registered Contractor when submitting a Bid Proposal. The Bid Proposal of a Bidder who is not a DIR

Registered Contractor when the Bid Proposal is submitted will be rejected for non-responsiveness. All Subcontractors identified

in a Bidder’s Subcontractors’ List must be DIR Registered contractors at the time the Bid Proposal is submitted. The foregoing

notwithstanding, a Bid Proposal is not subject to rejection for non-responsiveness for listing Subcontractor the Subcontractors List

who is/are not DIR Registered contractors if such Subcontractor(s) complete DIR Registration pursuant to Labor Code

§1771.1(c)(1) or (2). Further, a Bid Proposal is not subject to rejection if the Bidder submitting the Bid Proposal listed any

Subcontractor(s) who is/are not DIR Registered contractors and such Subcontractor(s) do not become DIR Registered pursuant

to Labor Code §1771.1(c)(1) or (2), but the Bidder, if awarded the Contract, must request consent of the District to substitute a DIR

Registered Subcontractor for the non-DIR Registered Subcontractor pursuant to Labor Code §1771.1(c)(3), without adjustment of

the Contract Price or the Contract Time.

This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations, including but not limited to

prevailing wage compliance and Skilled and Trained Workforce requirements.

No bidder may withdraw his bid for a period of thirty (30) DAYS after the date set for the opening of the bids.

A BID BOND shall be required and shall be supplied with the CONTRACTOR’S bid on the day of the bid. All bids shall be presented under

sealed cover and accompanied by one of the following forms of bidder's security: cash, a cashier's check, certified check, or a bidder's bond

executed by an admitted surety insurer, made payable to the trustees. The security shall be in an amount equal to at least 10 percent of the

amount bid. A bid shall not be considered unless one of the forms of bidder's security is enclosed with it.

A Payment Bond and Performance Bond for contracts over $25,000.00 WILL BE required prior to the execution of the contract. The Payment

and Performance Bond shall be in the form called for in the contract documents. Payment Bond and Performance Bond shall be provided

upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed. Performance and Payment bonds shall be supplied prior to the beginning of construction. A Certificate

of Insurance shall be required as well before work can begin.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Public Contract Code, Sections 22300, CONTRACTOR may substitute certain securities for any funds

withheld by OWNER to ensure their performance under the contract. At the request and expense of CONTRACTOR, securities equivalent

to any amount withheld shall be deposited, at the discretion of the OWNER, with either OWNER or with a state or federally chartered bank,

as the escrow agent, who shall then pay any funds otherwise subject for retention to CONTRACTOR. Upon satisfactory completion of the

contract, the securities shall be returned to the CONTRACTOR.

Securities eligible to investment shall include those listed in Government Code, Section 61430, bank and savings and loan certificates of

deposit, interest bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed to by CONTRACTOR and

OWNER. CONTRACTOR shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for funds withheld and shall receive any interest on

them. The escrow agreement shall be essentially similar to the one indicated in the General Conditions.

In accordance with Education Code section 17076.11, this district has a participation goal for disabled veteran business enterprises of at

least 3 percent per year of the overall dollar amount of funds allocated to the district by the State Allocation Board pursuant to the Leroy F.

Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 for construction or modernization and expended each year by the school district. Prior to, and as a

condition precedent for final payment under any contract for such project, the contractor shall provide appropriate documentation to the

district identifying the amount paid to disabled veteran business enterprises in conjunction with the contract, so that the district can assess
