SENATE BILL (SB) 854 REQUIREMENTS: Effective July 1, 2014, no general contractor or subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal or awarded a contract for a public works project (awarded on or after April 1, 2015) unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) pursuant to Labor Code §1725.5 with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under Labor Code §1771.1(a). This project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Refer to the following DIR Website for further information: dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/PublicWorks.html.
PREVAILING WAGES: Prevailing wage requirements apply to all public works projects and must be followed per Article 17 of the General Conditions of the Request for Proposals. The applicable prevailing wage determination during construction is the one in effect on the date the GMP is first published in a newspaper of general circulation. Here, the applicable prevailing wage determination for construction services referenced in the published GMP advertisement is 2024-2. The first bid advertisement date for each District defined GMP phase shall establish the applicable prevailing wage determination, regardless of how many times the Prime Contractor published an advertisement. That first bid advertisement to subcontractors shall state the applicable prevailing wage determination for construction services for the duration of that District defined GMP phase. Each District defined GMP phase for construction services may have a different prevailing wage determination based on its separate publication of the first bid advertisement date. The following is a link to the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) website to obtain rate information, and any applicable predetermined increases www.dir.ca.gov/oprl/dprewagedetermination.htm

BID PACKAGES: This project is being bid as “Bid Packages” per contract number. The bidder must self-perform a minimum of 15% of each bid package that is being bid.

However, bidders may NOT combine multiple bid packages for multiple GMPs, into a single GMP submission. All bids will be reviewed and evaluated for completeness of scope coverage. Subcontracts shall be awarded, if awarded at all, by the general contractor on the basis of lowest bid. The District defines lowest bid as the lowest responsive, responsible bid for a single bid package or the summation of the lowest value of multiple bid packages, if multiple bid packages were proposed by a subcontractor. If DVBE mandatory participation is needed, the next lowest subcontractor who can meet the minimum 3% DVBE requirement may be selected.
BID PACKAGES ARE AS FOLLOWS. It is required that bidders possess any of the following classification(s) of California State Contractors License(s) (or other appropriate license, subject to District approval), valid and in good standing, at the time of bid opening and contract award.
