Section 4.11. Relationship to Public Works; Bidding Requirements. The following <br /> shall apply to all contracts applicable to the Facilities and any Discrete Components thereof <br /> acquired with funds withdrawn from the Improvement Fund: <br /> A. General. This Acquisition Agreement is for the acquisition by the City of <br /> the Facilities and payment for Discrete Components thereof listed in Exhibit A and B <br /> hereto from moneys in the Improvement Fund and is not intended to be a public works <br /> contract. The City and the Developer agree that the Facilities are of local, and not state- <br /> wide concern, and that the provisions of the California Public Contract Code shall not <br /> apply to the construction of the Facilities. The City and the Developer agree that the <br /> Developer shall solely award all contracts for the construction of the Facilities and the <br /> Discrete Components thereof listed in Exhibit B hereto and that this Acquisition <br /> Agreement is necessary to assure the timely and satisfactory completion of the Facilities <br /> and that compliance with the Public Contract Code with respect to the Facilities would <br /> work an incongruity and would not produce an advantage to the City or the CFD. (Please <br /> explain the meaning of this paragraph) <br /> B. Bidding Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer shall <br /> award all contracts for construction of the Facilities and any Discrete Components <br /> thereof, and materials related thereto, by means of a bid process consistent with this <br /> Section 4.11(B) or otherwise acceptable to the City Engineer and the Developer, in each <br /> case consistent with applicable City regulations and any applicable State law. The <br /> Developer shall establish a list of written criteria acceptable to the City Engineer <br /> (including experience, ability to perform on schedule and financial ability) to determine <br /> qualified contractors for any contract. Such contractors shall comply with any applicable <br /> City regulations. Formal bids shall be requested from those entities on the list of <br /> qualified contractors. <br /> The Developer shall prepare bid packages, including engineering reports and <br /> estimates, for each of the Facilities (or any specific Discrete Components thereof to be <br /> separately bid). If the Developer would like the option to proceed under the provisions of <br /> Section 4.10(C) below, the bid documents shall expressly disclose the rights of the <br /> Developer to elect to perform or have its agent perform the work with a specific reference <br /> to Section 53329.5 of the Act. Bid packages shall be provided to at least three qualified <br /> bidders, unless Developer and the City Engineer reasonably determine that three such <br /> bidders are not available. A list of qualified bidders and copies of each bid package shall <br /> be provided to the City Engineer prior to their submission to the qualified bidders. The <br /> Developer may prequalify bidders, subject to the prior written approval by the City <br /> Engineer of the prequalification procedures. <br /> The Developer shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.10(C) below, award <br /> the applicable contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Upon written request of the City <br /> Engineer, the Developer shall provide an analysis of bids for construction and materials <br /> for the Facilities or applicable Discrete Components, indicating how the winning bid was <br /> determined. <br /> -11- <br />
