PROPOSAL FORM
(Entire proposal to be submitted as sealed bid.)
STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS
GREENWOOD AVENUE AND BARROILHET AVENUE
CITY PROJECT NO. 468004-8003
TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS:
FOR THE TOTAL SUM OF (use figures only) computed from the unit and/or lump
sum prices shown on the attached schedule of bid items, the undersigned hereby proposes and agrees that
if this proposal is accepted he will contract with the City of San Mateo, California, to furnish all labor,
materials, tools, equipment, transportation, and all incidental work and services required to complete all
items of work shown in the contract documents. All work shall conform to the lines, grades, and
dimensions shown on said drawings and shall be done in accordance with this Contract Book and APWA-
AGC Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 2003 Edition.
The work for which this proposal is submitted is for construction in conformance with the special
provisions (including the payment of not less than the State general prevailing wage rates) the project
plans described below, including the addenda thereto, the contract annexed hereto, and also in
conformance with the APWA-AGC Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 2003 Edition
and the Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental rates in effect on the date the work is accomplished.
This proposal is also subject to the terms and conditions of the attached LIST OF SUBCONTRACTORS
and BIDDER'S STATEMENT.
ADDENDA — This proposal is submitted with respect to the changes to the contract included in the
addenda number/s
By my signature on this proposal I certify, under penalty of perjury under the laws of State of California
and United States of America, that the Non Collusion Affidavit required by Title 23 United States Code,
Section 112 and Public Contract Code Section 7106 is true and correct.
The work shall be paid for at the unit and/or lump sum prices shown on the attached SCHEDULE OF
BID ITEMS.

Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the
total of all items.
The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each
lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that
purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the
product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price
shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the
amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item
shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be
the unit price;
(b)
(Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor
of ten, one hundred, etc., or one -tenth, or one -hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be
resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentagewise
the unit price or item total in the City of San Mateo 's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be
deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is
omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear,
readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in
establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will
be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols
also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be
expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals
only; if any unit price for a lump sum itemis included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items
total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to
cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation
not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the, City of San Mateo, and that
discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City of San Mateo to best protect the public
interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City of San Mateo
respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be fmal.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract and furnish the
2 bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to the City Of San Mateo,
within 8 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the bidder has received notice
from the City of San Mateo that the contract has been awarded, the City of San Mateo may, at its option,
determine that the bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance
thereof shall be null and void and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall operate
and the same shall be the property of the City of San Mateo.
By my signature on this proposal, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this
proposal as principals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other
person, firm, or corporation; that he has carefully examined the location of the. proposed work, the

TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL

FOR THE TOTAL SUM OF (use figures only) computed from the unit and/or lump
sum prices shown on the attached schedule of bid items, the undersigned hereby proposes and agrees that
if this proposal is accepted he will contract with the City of San Mateo, California, to furnish all labor,
materials, tools, equipment, transportation, and all incidental work and services required to complete all
items of work shown in the contract documents. All work shall conform to the lines, grades, and
dimensions shown on said drawings and shall be done in accordance with this Contract Book and APWA-
AGC Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 2003 Edition.
The work for which this proposal is submitted is for construction in conformance with the special
provisions (including the payment of not less than the State general prevailing wage rates) the project
plans described below, including the addenda thereto, the contract annexed hereto, and also in
conformance with the APWA-AGC Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 2003 Edition

This proposal is also subject to the terms and conditions of the attached LIST OF SUBCONTRACTORS
and BIDDER'S STATEMENT.
ADDENDA — This proposal is submitted with respect to the changes to the contract included in the
addenda number/s
By my signature on this proposal I certify, under penalty of perjury under the laws of State of California
and United States of America, that the Non Collusion Affidavit required by Title 23 United States Code,

Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the
total of all items.
The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each
lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that
purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the
product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price
shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the
amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item
shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be
the unit price;
(b)
(Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor
of ten, one hundred, etc., or one -tenth, or one -hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be
resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentagewise
the unit price or item total in the City of San Mateo's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be
deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is
omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear,
readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in
establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will
be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols
also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be
expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals
only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items
total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to
cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation
not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the City of San Mateo, and that
discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City of San Mateo to best protect the public
interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City of San Mateo
respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract and furnish the
2 bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to the City Of San Mateo,
within 8 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the bidder has received notice
from the City of San Mateo that the contract has been awarded, the City of San Mateo may, at its option,
determine that the bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance
thereof shall be null and void and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall operate
and the same shall be the property of the City of San Mateo.
By my signature on this proposal, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this
proposal as principals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other
person, firm, or corporation; that he has carefully examined the location of the proposed work, the

predetermined. If work is extended past this date, the new rate must be paid and should be
incorporated in contracts the Contractor enters into.
A copy of the correct determination will be posted at the job site. It is understood that it is the
responsibility of the bidder to determine the correct scale. The City will keep a copy of the wage

Automobile Liability Insurance, occurrence form, with a limit of not less than $1,000,000
each occurrence. Such insurance shall include coverage for owned, hired, and
non -owned automobiles.
C. Workers Compensation in at least the minimum statutory limits.
D. General Provisions for all insurance. All insurance shall:
Include the City of San Mateo, its elected and appointed officers, employees, and
volunteers as additional insureds with . respect to this Agreement and the
performance of services in this Agreement. The coverage shall contain no special
limitations on the scope of its protection to the above -designated insureds.
2. Be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs of City, its
officers, employees, and volunteers.
3. Be evidenced, prior to commencement of services, by properly executed policy
endorsements in addition to a certificate of insurance.
a. In addition to requiring that you provide an insurance certificate showing
the levels and types of coverage required for your project or contract, the
City of San Mateo also requires you to provide the City with a copy of the
actual endorsements to the commercial general, automobile, and any
excess liability insurance policies that show that the City of San Mateo, its
boards, commissions, officers, agents, and employees have been named as
additional insureds by the insurers.
These endorsements are required because California Insurance Code § 384
expressly provides that an insurance certificate is not proof of what the
underlying insurance policy actually contains. If you look at an insurance
certificate, you will notice that the certificate actually says the same thing.
Therefore, a certificate has minimal legal value and the City cannot be
reasonably certain that it is covered under the policies shown on the
certificate without endorsements.
An endorsement is a piece of paper that modifies the terms of the
underlying policy and is issued by the insurance company itself, rather
than a broker. A copy of a sample endorsement for commercial general
liability is on the following page for your reference.
4. No changes in insurance may be made without the written approval of the City
Attorney's office.
5. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION: The City requires 30 days written notice of
cancellation. Additionally, the notice statement on the certificate should not
include the wording "endeavor to" or "But failure to mail such notice shall
impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or
representatives."
