ADDENDUM #1 to DRAWINGS & PROJECT MANUAL SPECIFICATIONS
For
MPC – Art Department Modernization, Building #1 & #30 Modifications
980 Fremont Street, Monterey, California
May 7, 2013
The Contract Documents for the above listed project are hereby amended, and the following modifications
shall be made a part of said documents and shall be subject to all applicable requirements as if originally
shown or specified. Bidders shall acknowledge receipt of this Addendum on the Bid Form.
PRE-BID REQUESTS for INFORMATION:
PB001
SUBJECT:
Detail 8/A9.4 calls out 2” diameter holes with screen. The (E) trough is to
remain with only the gutter replaced. Are these (E) holes? If not, how do we
install the screens?
RESPONSE: All roof fascias and frieze boards are to be replaced (see revised demolition
plans, attached); therefore ventilation holes will be new.
PB002
SUBJECT:
The specifications in 004513 Statement of Qualifications Form on section 5
question 5.9 states that if the bidders workers compensation insurance EMR is
more than 1.25 the bidder is not qualified to bid this project.
Our construction firm’s loss experience during the past 4 years would result in
an EMR of .99. California law requires that our firm’s loss experience be
calculated with the loss experience of every firm owned by our principal,
which includes other businesses unrelated to the construction industry. This
means of calculation results in an EMR higher than 1.25 due to greater loss
experiences in our principal’s other non-construction businesses. Please
confirm that our firm is permitted to bid this project because our loss
experience when calculated in the same manner as any other stand alone
construction firm would be much less than the Owner’s threshold of 1.25.
RESPONSE: Please see revised sections 002113 and 004513 attached. Section 002113
article 12.6.5 the last item has been stricken from the paragraph. Section
004513 article 5.9 and 5.10 have been removed in their entirety.
PB003
SUBJECT:
Sheet E4.1, Note 26: “Provide and install Siemens EMS panel below lighting
relay panel. . . .” Question: If we are to provide Siemens panel, please provide
model number, etc. for this piece of equipment.
RESPONSE: The Siemens Panel will be provided by Siemens Contractor. Please note
location shall be below lighting control Panel.
PB004
SUBJECT:
Door 112B – Group 23: 3’6” x 6’-8”.
Group 23 is written as a pair of doors. Please clarify spec for hardware group.
Please specify change.
RESPONSE: Hardware group 23 has been updated in revised Section 087100, attached.
PB005
SUBJECT:
Where is the actual IDF location? Where is the 12 strand multi-mode fiber
going?
RESPONSE: The existing IDF locations are shown on Sheet E3.1.
The fiber and copper cables are going to be spliced and extended to new IDF
for Building #1. The fiber and copper cables for relocated IDF to Building #30
will be preserved and reconnected to IDF which is to be relocated about 10 feet
from existing location.
PB006

scheduled time frame for the site work north of Building 1, as noted in revised
Section 011000, Summary of Work, attached.
SUBJECT:
Will abatement be done for both buildings at the same time?
RESPONSE: Both buildings will start abatement and complete 99% before construction
starts, due to coordination of scopes. It is expected the abatement contractor
will be required to return for some small items during the construction period.
SUBJECT:
In janitor’s closet (Building 30) door 115 is called out but there is another door
or a partition style in the room. Please advise.

1.1. Bid Proposal Preparation. All information required by the bid forms must be completely and
accurately provided. Numbers shall be stated in both words and figures where so indicated in
the bid forms; conflicts between a number stated in words and in figures are governed by the
words. Partially completed Bid Proposals or Bid Proposals submitted on other than the bid
forms included herein are non-responsive and will be rejected. Bid Proposals not conforming
to these Instructions for Bidders and the Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids (“Call for Bids”)
may be deemed non-responsive and rejected.
1.2. Bid Proposal Submittal. Bid Proposals shall be submitted at the place designated in the Call
for Bids in sealed envelopes bearing on the outside the Bidder’s name and address along
with an identification of the Work for which the Bid Proposal is submitted. Bidders are solely
responsible for timely submission of Bid Proposals to the District at the place designated in
the Call for Bids.
1.3. Date and Time of Bid Proposal Submittal. A Bid Proposal is submitted only if the outer
envelope containing the Bid Proposal is marked with the Project title and is received by a
District Purchasing Department representative for logging-in at (or before) the latest date and
time for submittal of Bid Proposals.
The official U.S. time-clock website:
http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/java is controlling and determinative as to the
time of the Bidder’s submittal of the Bid Proposal. The foregoing notwithstanding, whether or
not Bid Proposals are opened exactly at the time fixed in the Call for Bids, no Bid Proposals
shall be received or considered by the District after it has commenced the public opening and
reading of Bid Proposals; Bid Proposals submitted after such time are non-responsive and will
be returned to the Bidder unopened.
2. Bid Security. Each Bid Proposal shall be accompanied by Bid Security in the form of: (i) cash, (ii)
a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the District or (iii) a Bid Bond, in the form and
content attached hereto, in favor of the District executed by the Bidder as a principal and a Surety
as surety (the “Bid Security”) in an amount equal to Ten Percent (10%) of the Bid Proposal
amount, inclusive of the price(s) proposed for additive Alternate Bid Items, if any. A Bid Proposal
submitted without the required Bid Security is non-responsive and will be rejected. If the Bid
Security is in the form of a Bid Bond, the Bidder’s Bid Proposal shall be deemed responsive only if
the Bid Bond is in the form and content included herein and the Surety is an Admitted Surety
Insurer under Code of Civil Procedure §995.120.
3. Documents Accompanying Bid Proposal; Signatures. Documents which must be submitted with
each Bid Proposal are identified in the Call for Bids. Any document submitted with a Bid Proposal
which is not complete, accurate and executed, as required by each document, will result in the Bid
Proposal being deemed non-responsive.
4. Bidder Modifications; Withdrawal or Modification of Submitted Bid Proposal.
4.1. Bidder Modifications to Bid Forms Prohibited. Modifications by a Bidder to the bid forms
which are not specifically called for or permitted may result in the Bidder’s Bid Proposal being
deemed non-responsive and rejected.
4.2. Withdrawal or Modification of Submitted Bid Proposal. A Bidder may not withdraw or modify a
Bid Proposal submitted to the District except in strict conformity to the following. Bid
Proposals may be withdrawn or modified only if: (i) the Bidder submitting the Bid Proposal
submits a request for withdrawal or modification in writing to the District; and (ii) the written
withdrawal or modification request is actually received by the District prior to the latest
date/time for submittal of Bid Proposals. Requests for withdrawal of a Bid Proposal after the
Page 1
Section 00 21 13
public opening of Bid Proposals pursuant to Public Contract Code §5100 et seq. will be
considered only if in strict conformity with requirements of Public Contract Code §5100 et seq.
5. Erasures; Inconsistent or Illegible Bid Proposals. Bid Proposals must not contain any erasures,
interlineations or other corrections unless the same are suitably authenticated by affixing in the
margin immediately opposite such erasure, interlineations or correction the surname(s) of the
person(s) signing the Bid Proposal. Any Bid Proposal not conforming to the foregoing may be
deemed by the District to be non-responsive. If any Bid Proposal or portions thereof, is
determined by the District to be illegible, ambiguous or inconsistent, whether by virtue of any
erasures, interlineations, corrections or otherwise, the District may reject such a Bid Proposal as
being non-responsive.
6. Examination of Site and Contract Documents. Each Bidder shall, at its sole cost and expense,
inspect the Site and to become fully acquainted with the Contract Documents and conditions
affecting the Work. Failure of a Bidder to receive or examine any of the Contract Documents or to
inspect the Site shall not relieve such Bidder from any obligation with respect to the Bid Proposal,
or the Work required under the Contract Documents. The District assumes no responsibility or
liability to any Bidder for, nor shall the District be bound by, any understandings, representations
or agreements of the District’s agents, employees or officers concerning the Contract Documents
or the Work made prior to execution of the Contract which are not in the form of Bid Addenda duly
issued by the District. The submission of a Bid Proposal shall be deemed prima facie evidence of
the Bidder’s full compliance with the requirements of this section.
7. Withdrawal of Bid Proposal. Any Bidder may withdraw its Bid Proposal only written request
actually received by the District prior to the scheduled closing time for the receipt of Bid Proposals
and the District’s public opening and reading of Bid Proposals; written requests to withdraw a
submitted Bid Proposal received by the District after the scheduled closing time for receipt of Bid
Proposals shall not be considered by the District, nor effective to withdraw such Bid Proposal.
8. Agreement and Bonds. The Agreement which the successful Bidder, as Contractor, will be
required to execute along with the forms Payment Bond, Performance Bond and other documents
and instruments which are required to be furnished are included in the Contract Documents and
shall be carefully examined by the Bidder. The required number of executed copies of the
Agreement and the form and content of the Performance Bond and the Payment Bond and other
documents or instruments required at the time of execution of the Agreement are specified in the
Contract Documents.
9. Interpretation of Drawings, Specifications or Contract Documents. Inquiries or clarification
requests submitted by a Bidder in strict accordance with the Call for Bids will be responded to in
writing by or on behalf of the District. If a response to an inquiry or clarification: (i) includes:
interpretation, correction or clarification of the Contract Documents; or (ii) affects requirements of
the bidding process or submittal of Bid Proposals, the District will issue addenda to the Contract
Documents. A copy of any such addendum will be delivered by fax, email or mail to each Bidder
who has obtained a set of the Contract Documents. No person is authorized to render an oral
interpretation or correction of any portion of the Contract Documents to any Bidder, and no Bidder
is authorized to rely on any such oral interpretation or correction. Failure to timely request
interpretation or clarification of any portion of the Contract Documents pursuant to the foregoing is
a waiver of any discrepancy, defect or conflict therein.
10. District’s Right to Modify Contract Documents. Before the public opening and reading of Bid
Proposals, the District may modify the Work, the Contract Documents, or any portion(s) thereof by
the issuance of written addenda disseminated to all Bidders who have obtained a copy of the
Specifications, Drawings and Contract Documents pursuant to the Call for Bids. If the District
Page 2
Section 00 21 13
issues any addenda during the bidding, the failure of any Bidder to acknowledge such addenda in
its Bid Proposal will render the Bid Proposal non-responsive and rejected.
11. Bidders Interested in More Than One Bid Proposal; Non-Collusion Affidavit. No person, firm,
corporation or other entity shall submit or be interested in more than one Bid Proposal for the
same Work; provided, however, that a person, firm or corporation that has submitted a subproposal to a Bidder or who has quoted prices for materials to a Bidder is not disqualified from
submitting a sub-proposal, quoting prices to other Bidders or submitting a Bid Proposal for the
proposed Work to the District. The form of Non-Collusion Affidavit included in the Contract
Documents must be completed and duly executed on behalf of the Bidder; failure of a Bidder to
submit a completed and executed Non-Collusion Affidavit with its Bid Proposal will render the Bid
Proposal non-responsive.
12. Award of Contract.
12.1.
Waiver of Irregularities or Informalities. The District reserves the right to reject any and
all Bid Proposals or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any Bid Proposal or in the
bidding.
12.2.
Award to Lowest Responsive Responsible Bidder. The award of the Contract, if made
by the District through action of its Board of Trustees, will be to the responsible Bidder
submitting the lowest priced responsive Bid Proposal on the basis of the Base Bid Proposal
and Alternate Bid Items, if any, selected in accordance with these Instructions.
12.3.
Selection of Alternate Bid Items. If Alternate Bid Items are included in the bidding for
the Work, the selection of Alternate Bid Items for inclusion in the scope of the Work of the
Contract and for determination of the lowest priced Bid Proposal will be by a “blind-bidder”
process. After opening timely submitted Bid Proposals and before the public reading of Bid
Proposals, District clerical staff (“Clerical Staff”) who not responsible for selecting Alternate
Bid Items for inclusion in the Contract to be awarded will assign each Bidder an alphabetical
letter for identification purposes. The Clerical Staff will mask all portions of the Bid Proposal
and other documents submitted with Bid Proposals so that the identity of each Bidder is not
revealed. The Clerical Staff will maintain a list (“the Bidders List”) which identifies by name
and the alphabetical letter assigned by the Clerical Staff to each Bidder. After completing the
Bidders List, the Clerical Staff will publicly read the Bid Proposals amounts of each Bidder for
the Base Bid as well as each Alternate Bid Item. In this public reading of Bid Proposals,
Bidders will not be identified by name; Bidders will be identified only by alphabetical letter
assigned to each Bidder by the Clerical Staff. After the public reading of Bid Proposals, the
Clerical Staff will provide the Architect and the District’s staff responsible for selection of
Alternate Bid Items for inclusion in the Contract to be awarded (“District Project Staff”) copies
of Bid Proposals with the identities of Bidders masked. At such time as the Architect and the
District Project Staff have determined which Alternate Bid Items, if any are to be included in
the scope of Work of the Contract and the Bidder submitting the lowest made a determination
of which Bidder (by the alphabetical letter assigned by Clerical Staff) submitted the lowest
priced Bid Proposal on the basis of the Base Bid Proposal and the combination of Alternate
Bid Items, if any, for inclusion in the scope of Work of the Contract the Clerical Staff will
provide the District Project Staff with the Bidders List so that the identity of the Bidder
submitting the lowest priced Bid Proposal can be identified. Until such time as the District
Project Staff have completed review of Bid Proposals and determination of which Alternate
Bid Items are to be included in the Work and the scope of the Contract to be awarded, there
will be no communication between the Clerical Staff and the Architect or the District Project
Staff regarding the identities of Bidders or disclosure of any portion of the Bidders List to the
District Project Staff.
12.4.
Alternate Bid Items Not Included in Award of Contract. Bidders are referred to the
provisions of the Contract Documents permitting the District, during performance of the Work,
Page 3
Section 00 21 13
to add or delete from the scope of the Work any or all of the Alternate Bid Items with the cost
or credit of the same being the amount(s) set forth by in the Alternate Bid Items Bid on the
Proposal.
12.5.
Responsive Bid Proposal. A responsive Bid Proposal shall mean a Bid Proposal which
conforms to and complies with requirements of the Bid and Contract Documents.
12.6.
Responsible Bidder.
12.6.1. Bidder Capacity. Factors affecting the Bidder’s capacity to perform and complete the
Work will be assessed, including: (i) Bidder’s access to labor, materials and other
resources necessary to complete the Work; (ii) Bidder’s ability to complete the Work
within the time established for completion of the Work, or portions thereof; and (iii)
Bidder’s ability to complete warranty obligations.
12.6.2. Bidder Character, Integrity. Factors reflecting the character and integrity of the Bidder,
including: (i) other public agency finding/determination, within the past five (5) years, that
the Bidder is not responsible; (ii) currently debarred from bidding public works projects or
debarment from bidding within past five (5) years; and (iii) false claims liability within the
past five (5) years under local, state or federal laws.
12.6.3. Bidder Financial Capability. Factors considered include: (i) sufficiency of the Bidder’s
financial resources; (ii) whether the Bidder is current in payment of debts and
performance of other financial obligations; and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
have been instituted within the past five (5) years.
12.6.4. Bidder Prior Performance. The Bidder’s prior performance on prior public works
contracts, including without limitation: (i) cost overruns; (ii) compliance with general
conditions and other contractual requirements, including schedule development,
schedule updates and coordination of labor, material/equipment procurements and
subcontractors; (iii) completion within allocated time; (iv) submittal of unsubstantiated,
unsupported or excessive cost proposals, claims or contract adjustment requests; (iv)
completion of a project by a surety; (vi) owner’s exercise of default remedies; and (vii)
finding or determination by any public agency that the Bidder is not a responsible bidder.
12.6.5. Safety. Factors include: (i) findings of serious or willful safety violations of safety laws,
regulations or requirements by any local, state or federal agency within the past five (5)
years; (ii) adequacy and implementation of safety plans, programs for on-site and off-site
construction and construction related activities.
13. Subcontractors.
13.1.
Designation of Subcontractors; Subcontractors List. Each Bidder shall submit a list of
its proposed Subcontractors for the proposed Work as required by the Subletting and
Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (California Public Contract Code §§ 4100 et seq.) on the
form furnished. The failure of any Bid Proposal to include all information required by the
Subcontractors List will result in rejection of the Bid Proposal for non-responsiveness.
13.2.
Work of Subcontractors. All Bidders are referred to the Contract Documents and the
notation therein that all Contract Documents are intended to be complimentary and that the
organization or arrangements of the Specifications and Drawings shall not limit the extent of
the Work of the Contract Documents. Accordingly, all Bidders are encouraged to disseminate
all of the Specifications, Drawings and other Contract Documents to all persons or entities
submitting sub-bids to the Bidder. The omission of any portion or item of Work from the Bid
Proposal or from the sub-bidders’ sub-bids which is/are necessary to produce the intended
results and/or which are reasonably inerrable from the Contract Documents is not a basis for
adjustment of the Contract Price or the Contract Time.
Page 4
Section 00 21 13
13.3.
Subcontractor Bonds. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code §4108, if a Bidder
requires a bond or bonds of its Subcontractor(s), whether the expense of procuring such bond
or bonds are to be borne by the Bidder or the Subcontractor(s), such requirements shall be
specified in the Bidder’s written or published request for sub-bids. Failure of the Bidder to
comply with these requirements shall preclude the Bidder from imposing bonding
requirements upon its Subcontractor(s) or rejection of a Subcontractor’s bid under California
Public Contract Code §4108(b).
14. Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Pursuant to California Labor Code § 3700, the successful
Bidder shall secure Workers’ Compensation Insurance for its employees engaged in the Work of
the Contract. The successful Bidder shall execute and deliver to the District the form of Workers
Compensation Certification included in the Contract Documents concurrently with such Bidder’s
delivery of the executed Agreement to the District.
15. Bid Security Return. The Bid Security of the Bidders submitting the three lowest priced Bid
Proposals, the number being solely at the discretion of the District, will be held by the District for
ten (10) days after the period for which Bid Proposals must be held open (which is set forth in the
Call for Bids) or until posting by the successful Bidder(s) of the bonds, certificates of insurance
required and return of executed copies of the Agreement, whichever first occurs, at which time the
Bid Security of such other Bidders will be returned to them.
16. Forfeiture of Bid Security. If the Bidder awarded the Contract fails or refuses to execute the
Agreement within Five (5) calendar days from the date of receiving notification that it is the Bidder
to whom the Contract has been awarded, the District may declare the Bidder’s Bid Security
forfeited as damages caused by the failure of the Bidder to enter into the Contract and may
thereupon award the Contract for the Work to the responsible Bidder submitting the next lowest
Bid Proposal or may call for new bids, in its sole and exclusive discretion.
17. Contractors’ License. No Bid Proposal will be considered from a Bidder who, at the time Bid
Proposals are opened, is not licensed to perform the Work of the Contract Documents, in
accordance with the Contractors’ License Law, California Business & Professions Code §§7000 et
seq. This requirement is not a mere formality and will not be waived by the District or its Board of
Trustees. The required California Contractors’ License classification(s) for the Work is set forth in
the Call for Bids.
18. Non-Discriminatory Employment Practices. It is the policy of the District that there be no
discrimination against any prospective or active employee engaged in the Work because of race,
color, ancestry, national origin, religious creed, sex, age, marital status or other legally protected
classification. All Bidders agree to comply with the District’s non-discrimination policy and all
applicable Federal and California anti-discrimination laws including but not limited to the California
Fair Employment & Housing Act beginning with California Government Code §§ 12940 et seq. and
California Labor Code § 1735. In addition, all Bidders agree to require like compliance by any
Subcontractor employed by them on the Work of the Contract.
19. Bidder’s Qualifications. Each Bidder shall submit with its Bid Proposal the form of Statement of
Bidder’s Qualifications, which is included within the Contract Documents. All information required
by Statement of Bidder’s Qualifications shall be completely and fully provided. Any Bid Proposal
not accompanied by the Statement of Bidder’s Qualifications completed with all information
required and bearing the signature of the Bidder’s duly authorized representative under penalty of
perjury will render the Bid Proposal non-responsive and rejected. If the District determines that
any information provided by a Bidder in the Statement of Bidder’s Qualifications is false or
misleading, or is incomplete so as to be false or misleading, the District may reject the Bid
Page 5
Section 00 21 13
Proposal submitted by such Bidder as being non-responsive. If any response to the “Essential
Requirements” section of the Statement of Qualifications is a “not qualified” response, the Bidder’s
Bid Proposal will be rejected for failure of the Bidder to meet minimum qualifications for the Work.
20. Substitution of Specified Materials/Equipment. Pursuant to Public Contract Code §3400(a), the
District will consider requests of Bidders for the District to consent to substitutions of specified
materials/equipment (“Substitution Request”) only during the bidding process. The District will not
consider or consent to a Substitution Request thereafter.
20.1.
Latest Date/Time for Submittal of Substitution Request. The latest date/time for a
Bidder to submit a Substitution Request is the latest date/time for Bidders to submit a Pre-Bid
Inquiry, as set forth in the Call for Bids. The District will not consider or respond to a
Substitution Request thereafter.
20.2.
Submittal Requirements.
Notwithstanding a Bidder’s timely submission of a
Substitution Request, the District will not consider or respond to a Substitution Request
unless all of the following are complied with by the Bidder: (i) the Substitution Request is
submitted on a completed form of Submittal Substitution Form (Document 00 60 02), along
with at least the following: (i) technical data establishing the equivalency of the proposed
substitution with the specified materials/equipment, including without limitation drawings,
performance specifications, samples, test reports, and other similar items; (ii) statement by
the Contractor that the proposed substitution is in full compliance with the requirements of the
Contract Documents and the Laws and that incorporation of the proposed substitution in lieu
of the specified materials/equipment will not delay completion of the Work or extend the
Contract Time; (iii) list of Subcontractors affected by the Substitution Request; and (iv) if the
proposed substitution requires re-design or removal of any Work to accommodate the
proposed substitution, drawings and engineering calculations prepared by a California
licensed architect or registered engineer for the portions of the Work requiring re-design or
removal. Notwithstanding submittal of the foregoing, if requested by the District or Architect,
the Bidder submitting a Substitution Request shall submit such additional substantiating data
as requested by the District or the Architect.
20.3.
Specified Materials/Equipment.
Where multiple manufacturers of specified
materials/equipment are identified or there are multiple materials/equipment specified in the
Contract Documents, the first named manufacturer or the first named material/equipment is
the basis of the design of the Work; use of any other manufacturer or material/equipment is
deemed a substitution which can be furnished and installed by the successful Bidder only if
the District consents thereto in accordance with these provisions.
20.4.
District Review and Notice of Consent. Timely submitted Substitution Requests will be
reviewed by the District and Architect to determine the equivalency of the proposed
substitution with the specified materials/equipment. The District’s decision to grant, deny or
condition consent to substitute specified materials/equipment is final and not subject to further
review or appeal. If the District consents to or conditionally consents to substitution of
specified materials/equipment, the District will issue an Addendum identifying the specified
materials/equipment and the alternative materials/equipment consent to or conditionally
consented to by the District.
20.5.
Bidder Responsibilities. If the District consents to or conditionally consents to
substituted materials/equipment for those originally specified (Accepted Substitution) and a
Bidder elects to incorporate any Accepted Substitution into its Bid Proposal, the Bidder shall
be responsible for identifying in the Subcontractors List the Subcontractor(s) necessary to
complete installation of the Accepted Substitution.
21. Job-Walk. The District will conduct a Job-Walk at the time(s) and place(s) designated in the Call
for Bids. The District may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, elect to conduct one or more JobWalk(s) in addition to that set forth in the Call for Bids, in which event the District shall notify all
Page 6
Section 00 21 13
Bidders who have theretofore obtained the Contract Documents pursuant to the Call for Bids of
any such additional Job-Walk. If the District elects to conduct any Job-Walk in addition to that set
forth in the Call for Bids, the District shall, in its notice of any such additional Job-Walk(s), indicate
whether Bidders’ attendance at such additional Job-Walk(s) is/are mandatory. If attendance at the
Job Walk is indicated in the Call for Bids as being mandatory, the failure of any Bidder to have its
authorized representative present at the entirety of the Job-Walk will render the Bid Proposal of
such Bidder to be non-responsive. Where the Job-Walk is mandatory, a Bidder may have more
than one authorized representative and/or representatives of its Subcontractors present at the
Job-Walk; provided, however that attendance by representatives of the Bidder’s Subcontractors
without attendance by a representative of the Bidder shall not be sufficient to meet the Bidder’s
obligations hereunder and will render the Bid Proposal of such Bidder to be non-responsive. The
District will reject the Bid Proposal of a Bidder who obtains the Bid and Contract Documents after
the date of the Mandatory Job-Walks set forth in the Call for Bids unless a Job-Walk is requested
by such Bidder and a Job-Walk is conducted by the District in accordance with the following
provisions. The District may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, conduct such requested JobWalk taking into consideration factors such as the time remaining prior to the scheduled opening
of Bid Proposals. Any such requested Job Walk will be conducted only upon the requesting
Bidder’s agreement to reimburse the District for the actual and/or reasonable costs for the
District’s staff and its agents and representatives in arranging for and conducting such additional
Job-Walk.
22. Public Records. Bid Proposals and other documents responding to the Call for Bids become the
exclusive property of the District upon submittal to the District. At such time as the District issues
the Notice of Intent to award the Contract pursuant to these Instructions for Bidders, all Bid
Proposals and other documents submitted in response to the Call for Bids become a matter of
public record and shall be thereupon be considered public records, except for information
contained in such Bid Proposals deemed to be Trade Secrets (as defined in California Civil Code
§ 3426.1) and information provided in response to the Statement of Qualifications. A Bidder that
indiscriminately marks all or most of its Bid Proposal as exempt from disclosure as a public record,
whether by the notations of “Trade Secret,” “Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or other similar notations,
may result in, or render, the Bid Proposal non-responsive and rejected. The District is not liable or
responsible for the disclosure of such records, including those exempt from disclosure if disclosure
is deemed required by law, by an order of Court, or which occurs through inadvertence, mistake or
negligence on the part of the District or its officers, employees or agents. At such time as Bid
Proposals are deemed a matter of public record, pursuant to the above, any Bidder or other party
shall be afforded access for inspection and/or copying of such Bid Proposals, by request made to
the District in conformity with the California Access to Public Records Act, California Government
Code §§6250, et. seq. If the District is required to defend or otherwise respond to any action or
proceeding wherein request is made for the disclosure of the contents of any portion of a Bid
Proposal deemed exempt from disclosure hereunder, the Bidder submitting the materials sought
by such action or proceeding agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the District in any
action or proceeding from and against any liability, including without limitation attorneys’ fees
arising therefrom. The party submitting materials sought by any other party shall be solely
responsible for the cost and defense in any action or proceeding seeking to compel disclosure of
such materials; the District’s sole involvement in any such action shall be that of a stakeholder,
retaining the requested materials until otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
23. Drug Free Workplace Certificate. In accordance with California Government Code §§ 8350 et
seq., the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1990, the successful Bidder will be required to execute a
Drug Free Workplace Certificate concurrently with execution of the Agreement. The successful
Bidder will be required to implement and take the affirmative measures outlined in the Drug Free
Workplace Certificate and in California Government Code §§8350 et seq. Failure of the
Page 7
Section 00 21 13
successful Bidder to comply with the measures outlined in the Drug Free Workplace Certificate
and in California Government Code §§ 8350 et seq. may result in penalties, including without
limitation, the termination of the Agreement, the suspension of any payment of the Contract Price
otherwise due under the Contract Documents and/or debarment of the successful Bidder.
24. Notice of Intent to Award Contract. Following the public opening and reading of Bid Proposals, the
District will issue a Notice of Intent to Award the Contract, identifying the Bidder to whom the
District intends to award the Contract and the date/time/place of the District’s Board of Trustees
meeting at which award of the Contract will be considered.
25. Bid Protest.
25.1.
Submittal of Bid Protest. Any Bidder submitting a Bid Proposal to the District may file a
protest of the District’s intent to award the Contract provided that all of the following are
complied with: (i) the bid protest is in writing; (ii) the bid protest is filed and received by the
District’s Vice-President, Administrative Services not more than five (5) calendar days after
the date of issuance of the District’s Notice of Intent to Award the Contract; and (iii) the written
bid protest sets forth, in detail, all grounds for the bid protest, including without limitation all
facts, supporting documentation, legal authorities and argument in support of the grounds for
the bid protest; any matters not set forth in the written bid protest shall be deemed waived. All
factual contentions must be supported by competent, admissible and creditable evidence.
Any bid protest not conforming to the foregoing shall be rejected by the District as invalid.
25.2.
District Review and Disposition of Bid Protest. Provided that a bid protest is filed in
strict conformity with the foregoing, the District’s Vice-President, Administrative Services or
such individual(s) as may be designated by him/her (“Designee”) will review and evaluate the
basis of the bid protest. The District’s Vice-President, Administrative Services or Designee
shall provide the Bidder submitting the bid protest with a written statement concurring with or
denying the bid protest (Bid Protest Response). The Bid Protest Response is deemed the
final action of the District and not subject to appeal or reconsideration by any other employee
or officer of the District or the Board of Trustees of the District. The issuance of the Bid
Protest Response by the District’s Vice-President, Administrative Services or the Designee is
an express condition precedent to the institution of any legal or equitable proceedings relative
to the bidding process, the District’s intent to award the Contract, the District’s disposition of
any bid protest or the District’s decision to reject all Bid Proposals. If any such legal or
equitable proceedings are instituted and the District is named as a party thereto, the
prevailing party(ies) shall recover from the other party(ies), as costs, all attorneys’ fees and
costs incurred in connection with any such proceeding, including any appeal arising
therefrom. Each Bidder shall acknowledge in the Bid Proposal that the foregoing is a binding
attorneys’ fee agreement pursuant to Civil Code §1717 and shall be enforceable against the
Bidder and the District.

DEFINITIONS
A.
Basis of Design: The basis of design is the documentation of the primary thought processes and
assumptions behind design decisions that were made to meet the design intent. The basis of design
describes the systems, components, conditions and methods chosen to meet the intent. Some
reiterating of the design intent may be included. Basis of Design is reflected in bid documents.
B.
Commissioning Plan: An overall plan, developed after bidding that provides the structure, schedule
and coordination planning for the commissioning process per specifications and project drawings.
C.
Design Intent: A dynamic document that provides the explanation of the ideas, concepts and criteria
that are considered to be very important to the owner. It is initially the outcome of the programming
and conceptual design phases. Design Intent is reflected in bid documents.
D.
Functional Performance Test (FT): Test of the dynamic function and operation of equipment and
systems using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods. Functional testing is the dynamic
testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation (e.g., the chiller pump is tested
interactively with the chiller functions to see if the pump ramps up and down to maintain the
differential pressure set point). Systems are tested under various modes, such as during low cooling
or heating loads, high loads, component failures, unoccupied, varying outside air temperatures, fire
alarm, power failure, etc. The systems are run through all the control system’s sequences of
operation and components are verified to be responding as the sequences state. Traditional air or
water test and balancing (TAB) is not functional testing, in the commissioning sense of the word.
TAB’s primary work is setting up the system flows and pressures as specified, while functional
testing is verifying that which has already been set up. The commissioning authority develops the
functional test procedures in a sequential written form, coordinates, oversees and documents the
actual testing, which is usually performed by the installing contractor or vendor. FTs are performed
after prefunctional checklists and startups are complete.
E.
General Contractor (GC): The prime contractor for this project. Generally refers to all the GC’s
subcontractors as well. Also referred to as the Contractor, in some contexts.
F.
Prefunctional Checklist (PC): A list of items to inspect and elementary component tests to conduct
to verify proper installation of equipment, provided by the CA to the Sub. Prefunctional checklists
are primarily static inspections and procedures to prepare the equipment or system for initial
operation (e.g., belt tension, oil levels OK, labels affixed, gages in place, sensors calibrated, etc.).
However, some prefunctional checklist items entail simple testing of the function of a component, a
piece of equipment or system (such as measuring the voltage imbalance on a three phase pump
motor of a chiller system). The word prefunctional refers to before functional testing. Prefunctional
01 91 00 - 2
checklists augment and are combined with the manufacturer’s start-up checklist. Even without a
commissioning process, contractors typically perform some, if not many, of the prefunctional
checklist items a commissioning authority will recommend. However, few contractors document in
writing the execution of these checklist items. Therefore, for most equipment, the contractors
execute the checklists on their own. The commissioning authority only requires that the procedures
be documented in writing, and does not witness much of the prefunctional check listing, except for
larger or more critical pieces of equipment.
G.
1.5
Sampling: Functionally testing only a fraction of the total number of identical or near identical
pieces of equipment.

COMMISSIONING PROCESS
A.
The following narrative provides a brief overview of the typical commissioning tasks during
construction and the general order in which they occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Commissioning during construction begins with a scoping meeting conducted by the CA
where the commissioning process is reviewed with the commissioning team members.
Equipment documentation is submitted to the CA during normal submittals, including
detailed start-up procedures and O&M manuals in one three ring binder.
The CA works with the Subs in developing startup plans and startup documentation formats,
including providing the Subs with prefunctional checklists to be completed, during the startup
process.
In general, the checkout and performance verification proceeds from simple to complex; from
component level to equipment to systems and intersystem levels with prefunctional checklists
being completed before functional tests.
The Subs, under their own direction, execute and document the prefunctional checklists and
perform startup and initial checkout. The CA documents that the checklists and startup were
completed according to the approved plans. This may include the CA witnessing start-up of
selected equipment.
The CA develops specific equipment and system functional performance test procedures.
The Subs review the procedures.
The procedures are executed by the Subs, under the direction of, and documented by the CA.
Items of non-compliance in material, installation or setup are corrected at the Sub’s expense
(including the CA’s time) and the system retested. The General Contractor is responsible for
collecting cost and expenses for retesting. Retesting will be charged to contractor minimum 4
hours of standard hourly rates of CA.
a.
Cost of Retesting
1)
The cost for the Sub to retest a prefunctional or functional test, if they are
responsible for the deficiency, shall be theirs. If they are not responsible, any
cost recovery for retesting costs shall be GC.
2)
For a deficiency identified, not related to any prefunctional checklist or start-up
fault, the following shall apply: The CA and CM will direct the retesting of the
equipment once at no “charge” to the GC for their time. However, the CA’s and
CM’s time for a second retest will be charged to the GC, who may choose to
recover costs from the responsible Sub.
01 91 00 - 7

10.
11.
12.
B.
The time for the CA and CM to direct any retesting required because a specific
prefunctional checklist or start-up test item, reported to have been successfully
completed, but determined during functional testing to be faulty, will be back
charged to the GC, who may choose to recover costs from the party responsible
for executing the faulty prefunctional test.
The CA reviews the O&M documentation for completeness.
Commissioning is completed before Substantial Completion.
The CA reviews, pre-approves and coordinates the training provided by the Subs and verifies
that is was completed.
Deferred testing is conducted, as specified or required.
Reporting
1.
The CA will provide regular reports to the Owner and Architect. Standard forms are provided
and referenced in the Commissioning Plan.
2.
The CA will regularly communicate with all members of the commissioning team, keeping
them apprised of commissioning progress and scheduling changes through memos, progress
reports, etc.
3.
Testing or review approvals and non-conformance and deficiency reports are made regularly
with the review and testing as described in later sections.
4.
A final summary report by the CA will be provided to the CM or PM (owner rep), focusing
on evaluating commissioning process issues and identifying areas where the process could be
improved. All acquired documentation will be compiled in appendices and provided with the
summary report. Prefunctional checklists, functional tests and monitoring reports will not be
part of the final report, but will be stored in the Commissioning Record in the O&M manuals
in CA’s office.

A. Color Coding - Provide color coding for all circuit conductors. Insulation color shall
be white for neutrals and green for grounding conductors. Conductor colors shall be as
follows:
VOLTAGE
208/120V
480/277V
Phase A
Phase B
Phase C
Neutral
Ground
Black
Red
Blue
White
Green
Brown
Orange
Yellow
Grey
Green
B. Color coding shall be in the conductor insulation for all conductors #10 AWG and
smaller; for larger conductors, color shall be either in the insulation or in colored
plastic tape applied at every location where the conductor is readily accessible.
C. Circuit Identification - All underground distribution and service circuits shall be
provided with plastic identification tags in each secondary box and at each termination.
Tags shall identify the source transformer of the circuit and the building number(s)
serviced by the circuit.
3.04 Field Tests:
A. All systems shall test free from short circuits and grounds, shall be free from
mechanical and electrical defects, and shall show an insulation resistance between
phase conductors and ground of not less than the requirements of the CEC. All circuits
shall be tested for proper neutral connections.
B. Insulation Resistance Tests: Perform insulation resistance tests on circuits with #2
AWG and larger conductors to be energized with a line-to-neutral voltage of 120 volts
or more. Make these tests before all equipment has been connected. Test the insulation
with a 500Vdc insulation resistance tester with a scale reading 100 megohms. The
insulation resistance shall be 2 megohms or more. Submit results for review.
