any bidder to receive such Addenda shall not be grounds for non-compliance with the terms of the

instructions. It is the responsibility of the bidder to contact the City to determine the existence of any and

all addenda.

11. The right is reserved, as the interest of the City may require, to reject any or all bids, to waive any

informality in bids, or in the case of a single bid being received to extend the acceptance date by up to

thirty (30) days with notice. The City of San Mateo is a charter City and any contract entered into is

subject to the provisions of the City of San Mateo Charter, which may supersede certain provisions of the

Public Contract Code and other provision of state law.

12. A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the

requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract

for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public

work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to

submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section

10164 or 20183.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public

work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.

No contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project (submitted on or

after March 1, 2015) 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

(awarded on or after April 1, 2015) 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.

As an additional requirement, Assembly Bill 219 adds Section 1720.9 to the Labor Code. This bill expands

the definition of public works under the California Prevailing Wage Law and is a requirement for this project.

For reference, please see: https://www.dir.ca.gov/

Per Labor Code Section 20103.5, a contractor can register at any time prior to bid award and no

contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless

registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.15.

In general, the prevailing wage scale, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State of

California, in force on the day this bid was announced or determined by the administrator of the Wage

and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, in force on the day bids are opened, whichever is higher,

will be the minimum paid to all craftsmen and laborers working on this project. In some cases, prevailing

wage determinations have either a single asterisk (*) or double asterisks (**) after the expiration date in

effect on the date of advertisement for bids.

In cases where the prevailing wage determinations have a single asterisk (*) after the expiration date

which are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids, such determinations remain in effect for the life

of the project. Prevailing wage determinations which have double asterisks (**) after the expiration date

indicate that the basic hourly wage rate, overtime, and holiday pay rates, and employer payments to be

paid for work performed after this date have been predetermined. If work is extended past this date, the

new rate must be paid and should be incorporated in contracts the Contractor enters into.

Pursuant to Section 1773 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing wage rates in the county, or

counties, in which the work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California

Department of Industrial Relations. The wages as set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this

project will be posted at the job site. It is understood that it is the responsibility of the bidder to determine

the correct scale. The City will keep a copy of the wage scale in the City Clerk’s office for the

convenience of bidders. The State Prevailing Wage Rates may also be obtained from the California

Department of Industrial Relations internet website at http://www.dir.ca.gov. Any errors or defects in the

materials in the City Clerk’s office will not excuse a bidder’s failure to comply with actual scale then in

force.

13. The work performed as part of this contract is subject to the restrictions and requirements of any and all

Federal, State and San Mateo County Health Orders (collectively “Health Orders”) in effect during the

contract period, which may be changed by such government agencies without notice.

14. Said City Representative shall report the results of the bidding to the City Council at a later date, at which

time the City Council may award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder as so reported; or as City's

interest may dictate. The City Council may exercise its right to modify the award or to reject any or all

bids. Any protests to award of contract shall follow the procedures outlined in City Council Resolution No.

61, dated June 7, 2004.

15. To ensure performance, City reserves the right to retain five percent (5%) of the contract price for 35

days after it records the Notice of Completion. However, pursuant to the Public Contracts Code Section

22300, Contractor may substitute securities for said five percent (5%) retention or request that City make

payments of retentions earned directly to an escrow agent at Contractor's expense. The provisions of the

Public Contracts Code Section 22300 are hereby expressly made a part of the contract.

16. The lowest responsive, responsible bidder shall submit all required insurance, bonds and signed

agreements within ten (10) days after being notified of the intent of award.
