-_ GUIDE FOR COMPLETING
THE “DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS” FORM
REFERENCES Prior to preparation of the following Subcontractor disclosure form Bidders are urged
to review the definitions in section 1-2 of the SSPWC (“Greenbook) and in 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.” Bidders are further urged to review sections
2-3 SUBCONTRACTS of the Greenbook and section 2-3.1 of these Supplemental Provisions.
CAUTIONS This form 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 otherwise to be preformed by forces other
than the Bidder’s 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 whom the Bidder proposes to perform work or labor or render service in or about the
work or improvement, and every subcontractor licensed as a contractor by the State of California
whom 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, in the case of bids or offers for the construction of streets
and highways, including bridges, in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) or ten thousand dollars
($1 0,000) 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.
-
The Designation of Subcontractors form must be submitted as a part of the Bidder’s sealed bid.
Failure to provide complete and correct information may result in reiection of the bid as non-
responsive.
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 or the Subcontractor as the case may be, that the Bidder
proposes as installer of said materials. The value of material incorporated in any Subcontractor-
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 installing said item.
When a Subcontractor has a Carlsbad business license, the number must be entered on the proper
form. If the Subcontractor does not have a valid business license, enter “NONE” in the appropriate
space.
When the Bidder proposes using a Subcontractor to construct or install less than 100 percent of a
bid item, the Bidder shall attach an explanation sheet to the Designation of Subcontractor form. The
explanation sheet shall clearly apprise the City of the specific facts that show the Bidder proposes to
perform no less than fifty percent (50%) of the work with its own forces.

Revised 10/08/03 Contract No. 3809-2 Page 16 of 61 Pages
Determination of the subcontract amounts for purposes of award of the contract shall be determined

Supplemental Provisions. The decision of the City Council shall be final. 7

Temhal boxes shall be provided at instrument cable splices. If cable is buried or in raceway below grade at
splice, an instrument stand shall be provided as specified with terminal box mounted approximately 3 feet
above grade.
Cable for paging, telephone, and security systems shall be installed and terminated in compliance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
3.04 PORTABLE CORD
Portable cord feeding permanent equipment, such as pendant cords, pumps, cranes, hoists, and portable items
shall have a wire mesh cord grip of flexible stainless steel wire to take the tension from the cable termination.
Connection of portable cords to permanent wiring shall be accomplished with the use of terminals. in-line taps
and splices shall be used only where specified.
3.05 TESTING
A. GENERAL:
The Contractor shall test conductors and cable in accordance with paragraph 16000-3.02 B.
B. SIGNAL CABLE:
Each signal pair or triad shall be tested for electrical continuity. Any pair or triad exhibiting a loop resistance of
less than or equal to 50 ohms shall be deemed satisfactory without hrther test. For pairs with greater than 50
ohm loop resistance, the Contractor shall calculate the expected loop resistance considering loop length and
intrinsic safety bamers if present. Loop resistance shall not exceed the calculated value by more than 5 percent.
Each shield drain conductor shall be tested for continuity. Shield drain conductor resistance shall not exceed
the loop resistance of the pair or triad.
Each conductor (signal and shield drain) shall be tested for insulation resistance with all other conductors in the
cable grounded.
Instruments used for continuity measurements shall have a resolution of 0.1 ohms and an accuracy of better
than 0.1 percent of reading plus 0.3 ohms. A 500 volt megohmmeter shall be used for insulation resistance
measurements.
