Dear Mr. Steve A. Souza:
The City of San Luis Obispo is pleased to award your company the contract for the
“North Chorro Neighborhood Greenway, Specification No. 1000036”, in the
amount not to exceed $6,076,938.80, approved by the City Council on March 07, 2023.
You will receive an email from the City’s Clerks Department, requesting signatures for
the contract via DocuSign. The fully executed contract will be provided when complete.
In the meantime, the City is requesting the payment and performance bonds as well as
insurance certificates and endorsements; the City does not maintain standard bond
forms so whichever your Surety provides is acceptable. I would like to call your attention
to the City insurance requirements. Note: Insurance policies must be endorsed to
name as "Additional Insured Parties: The City of San Luis Obispo, its elective
boards, officers, agents and any subcontractors in the performance of work for
the City of San Luis Obispo". An acceptable form is the CG 20 10 11 85 or both forms
of the CG 20 10 07 04 and CG 20 37 07 04. Copies of such endorsements must be
sent with insurance certificates showing the required levels of coverage and
additional ensured coverage per Section 7-1.06 of the Bid Documents. The insurance
company must carry a rating of A VII or better, in accordance with the A.M. Best Rating
Guide. Please provide the City at least 30 days prior notice of any reduction or
cancellation of insurance coverage.
The City requires contractors doing work within the city limits to have a business tax
certificate. If you do not have a tax certificate, please contact the City’s Finance
Department at (805) 781-7134. The Finance Department will also need your Federal
Tax Identification Number before payments can be processed to your company. This is
standard City practice to allow compliance with Federal IRS regulations. You can
contact the Finance Department at (805) 781-7135 to provide your tax information.
