GUIDE FOR COMPLETING
THE “DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTOR AND AMOUNT OF SUBCONTRACTOR’S BID ITEMS” AND
“DESIGNATION OF OWNER OPERATOR/LESSOR AND AMOUNT OF OWNER OPERATOR/LESSOR WORK” FORMS
REFERENCES Prior to preparation of the following Subcontractor and Owner Operator/Lessor disclosure forms Bidders are urged to review the definitions in section 1-2 of the SSPWC and of the Supplemental Provisions to this Contract especially, “Bid”, “Bidder”, “Contract”, “Contractor”, “Contract Price”* “Contract Unit Price”, ” Engineer”, “Subcontractor” and “Work” and the definitions in
section 1-2 of the Supplemental Provisions especially “Own Organization” and “Owner
Operator/Lessor.” Bidders are further urged to review sections 2-3 SUBCONTRACTS of the
SSPWC and section 2-3.1 of these Supplemental Provisions.
CAUTIONS These forms will be used by the Agency to determine the percentage of work that the Bidder proposes to perform. Bidders are cautioned that failure to provide complete and correct
information may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive. Any bid that proposes performance of more than 50 percent of the work by subcontractors or owner operator/lessors or otherwise to be
performed by forces other than the Bidders own organization will be rejected as non-responsive.
Specialty items of work that may be so designated by the Engineer on the “Contractor’s Proposal”
are not included in computing the percentage of work proposed to be performed by the Bidder.
INSTRUCTIONS The Bidder shall set forth the name and location of business of each and every
subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor who the Bidder proposes to perform work or labor or render service in or about the work or improvement, and every subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor
licensed as a contractor by the State of California who the Bidder proposes to specially fabricate and install any portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder’s total bid or ten thousand dollars ($10,000) whichever is greater. Said name(s) and location(s) of business of subcontractor(s) shall be set forth and included as an integral part of the bid offer.
Bidder shall use separate disclosure fom?s for each Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor of manpower and equipment that it proposes to use to complete the Work. Additional copies of the forms must be attached if required to accommodate the Contractor’s decision to use more than one Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor. All items of information must be completely filled out. These forms must be submitted as a part of the Bidder’s sealed bid. Failure to provide complete and correct information may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive.
Neither the amount, in dollars, of work performed by the Bidder’s own forces (as Contractor) nor the
Bidders overhead and profit for subcontracted items of the work is included to compute the percentage of the work performed by Subcontractors or Owner Operators/Lessors.
When the Bidder proposes that any bid item will installed by a Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor the amount, in dollars, of the bid item installed by each Subcontractor or Owner Operator/ Lessor must be entered under the columns “Amount of Subcontracted Bid Item Including Subcontractor’s Overhead & Profit” or ” Amount of Owner Operator/Lessor Bid Item Including Owner Operator/Lessor’s Overhead & Profit * unless the dollar amount of all work performed by any Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor is less than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Bidder’s total bid or ten thousand dollars ($10,000) whichever is greater. If a Subcontractor or Owner
Operator/Lessor installs or constructs any portion of a bid item the entire amount of the Contract Unit Price, less the Bidder’s overhead and profit, shall be multiplied by the Quantity of the bid item that - the Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor installs to compute the amount of work so installed.
TQ 6/7/99 Contract No. 3620 Page 15 of 125 Pages
Suppliers of materials from sources outside the limits of work are not subcontractors. The value of
materials and transport of materials from sources outside the limits of work, as shown on the plans,
shall be assigned to the Contractor, the Subcontractor, or the Owner Operator/Lessor, as the case
may be, that the Bidder proposes as installer of said materials. The value of material incorporated in any Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor installed bid item that is supplied by the Bidder shall be
included as a part of the work that the Bidder proposes to be performed by the Subcontractor or Owner Operator/Lessor installing said item.
The item number from the “CONTRACTOR’S PROPOSAL” (Bid Sheets) shall be entered in the “Bid
Item No.” column.
When a Subcontractor or Owner OperatorYLessor has a Carlsbad business license the number must
be entered on the form. If the Subcontractor does not have a valid business license enter “NONE” in
the appropriate space.
Bidders shall make any additional copies of the disclosure forms as may be necessary to provide the
required information. The page number and total number of additional form pages shall be entered in
the location provided on each type of form so duplicated.
When the Bidder proposes using a subcontractor or owner operator/Lessor to construct or install
less than 100 percent of a bid item the Bidder shall attach an explanation sheet to the designation of
subcontractor or designation of Owner Operator/Lessor forms as applicable. The explanation sheet shall be provided by the Contractor to clearly apprise the Agency of the specific facts that show the
Bidder proposes to perform no less than fifty percent (50%) of the work with its own forces.
Determination of the subcontract and Owner Operator/Lessor amounts for purposes of award of the
contract shall determined by the City Council in conformance with the provisions of the contract documents and the Supplemental Provisions. The decision of the City Council shall be final.
