IMPORTANT
SPECIAL NOTICES
*************************************************************************************************
Attention is directed to the "Notice to Contractors," and Sections 2-1.01, "General," and 2-1.012, "Proposal Guaranty," of the Special Provisions regarding electronic proposals and bid bonds on the Internet. This project is part of a pilot program to test the On-line Bidding System. The proposal for the project is on the Internet, and is to be completed and submitted electronically. Bid bonds are to be submitted through Surety 2000. Due to the complexities of using a pilot system, it is recommended that bidders register with the On-line Bidding System and submit the specified registration and statement substantially prior to the date and time specified.
The Special Provisions for Federal-aid projects (with and without DBE goals) have been revised to incorporate changes made by new regulations governing the DBE Program (49 CFR Part 26).
Sections 2 and 5 incorporate the changes. Bidders should read these sections to become familiar with them. Attention is directed to the following significant changes:
Section 2, "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)" revises the counting of participation by DBE primes, and the counting of trucking performed by DBE firms. The section also revises the information that must be submitted to the Department in order to receive credit for trucking.
Section 2, "Submission of DBE Information" revises the information required to be submitted to the Department to receive credit toward the DBE goal. It also revises the criteria to demonstrate good faith efforts.
Section 5, "Subcontractor and DBE Records" revises the information required to be reported at the end of the project, and information related to trucking that must be submitted throughout the project.
Section 5, "DBE Certification Status" adds new reporting requirements related to DBE certification.
Section 5, "Subcontracting" describes the efforts that must be made in the event a DBE subcontractor is terminated or fails to complete its work for any reason.
Section 5, "Prompt Progress Payment to Subcontractors" requires prompt payment to all subcontractors.
Section 5, "Prompt Payment of Withheld Funds to Subcontractors" requires the prompt payment of retention to all subcontractors.
· Payment Bonds
Attention is directed to Section 5 of the Special Provisions, regarding contract bonds. The payment bond shall be in a sum not less than one hundred percent of the total amount payable by the terms of the contract.
· Federal minimum wage rates for this project are no longer included in the "Proposal and Contract" book. They will be available through the California Department of Transportation's Electronic Project Document Distribution Internet Web Site at http://hqidoc1.dot.ca.gov/. See Notice to Contractors.
· Attention is directed to Section1, "Specifications and Plans," of these special provisions for Amendments To July 1999 Standard Specifications. Amendments to the various sections of the Standard Specification have been consolidated into Section 1 and dated to reflect the most recent revision.
