Request for
STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATION
General Contractors for Construction of the
WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY PROJECT
1. INTRODUCTION
The City of San Luis Obispo (“City”) is issuing this Request for Statements of Qualification (RFQ)
in search of candidates (“Candidates”) who have the necessary qualifications as set forth in this
RFQ to be prequalified to bid on the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility Project (“Project”).
The City has determined that all general contractors, electrical subcontractors, and control
systems integrators interested in bidding on this Project must be prequalified prior to submitting
a bid. General contractors specifically experienced with large-scale municipal wastewater,
recycled water, or potable water treatment plant construction are invited to participate in the
prequalification process. Candidates must fully complete the prequalification application package
(“Prequalification Package”), including but not limited to the Prequalification Questionnaire
(“Questionnaire”), provide all materials requested herein, and be deemed prequalified by City to
be on the list of eligible bidders (“Project Bidders List”). The final list of prequalified general
contractors, electrical subcontractors, and control systems integrators will be issued following
evaluation of the Prequalification Packages. The City will not accept a bid proposal from any
general contractor that is not on the Project Bidders List and the City will not accept a bid from
any prequalified general contractor that does not list a prequalified electrical subcontractor for the
electrical portion of the Project scope and a prequalified control systems integrator for the control
systems integration portion of the Project scope, or complete the separate prequalification
process for electrical subcontractors and control systems integrators itself and be prequalified to
self-perform that work. If two or more business entities intend to submit a bid as part of a Joint
Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must submit a fully complete Prequalification
Package and be separately qualified to bid.
The prequalification procedure involves the review and evaluation of information regarding the
proven experience of Candidates to construct the Project in a manner acceptable to the City. The
experience of each Candidate will be evaluated on the basis of the qualification submittal and
information gathered by the City from the references of related projects. Proven experience is
defined as the actual performance of the Candidate on previous construction projects of a similar
size and complexity as corroborated by said references. The City is not obligated to prequalify or
accept a Candidate with no or unsatisfactory related experience.
Candidates may obtain an electronic copy of the Prequalification Package and excerpts from the
preliminary design plans from www.bidsync.com. Responses to Candidates’ questions and any
addenda to the RFQ will be posted to www.bidsync.com. Portions of the 60% preliminary design
submittal are provided for information only and are not intended for bidding or construction
purposes. Prequalified bidders will be responsible to prepare bids based on the final design plans
and contract documents to be issued with the Notice Inviting Bids.
The City reserves the right to cancel this Notice or to reject any and all responses and
Prequalification Packages, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such cancellation or rejection
is in the best interest of the City. The City reserves the right to bid the Project without use of the
Bidders List.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT A Page 7
Objective
The objective of this RFQ is to provide sufficient information to enable Candidates to submit
written Prequalification Packages. Only qualified Candidates will be eligible to submit a bid
proposal as a prime contractor for the Project. Candidates responding to this RFQ do so with the
understanding that they are not guaranteed the awarding of contracts and work. Qualified
Candidates may be required to meet additional qualifications as detailed in the Project bid
package.
In addition to this Prequalification Package for general contractors, electrical subcontractors and
control systems integrators must also be prequalified under a separate, but concurrent,
prequalification process. Should a general contractor plan to self -perform the electrical work or
the control systems integration work, it will need to submit an electrical subcontractor
Prequalification Package and a control systems integrator Prequalification Package. Should a
general contractor be prequalified by the Owner as a general contractor and not an electrical
subcontractor and/or a control systems integrator, that general contractor will not be allowed to
self-perform the electrical work and the control systems integration work and must use one of the
electrical subcontractors and control systems integrators that is approved by the City for the
electrical work and control systems integration work. Likewise, should a general contractor be
prequalified as an electrical subcontractor or a control systems integrator and not as a general
contractor, that general contractor will not be allowed to submit a bid to the City as a general
contractor. However, that same general contractor can submit a quote for the electrical work or
the control systems integration work to any of the general contractors that are prequalified by the
City.
Prequalification Outreach Meeting
A non-mandatory prequalification outreach meeting and site tour is scheduled for May 8, 2018 at
10 AM. The purpose of the prequalification outreach meeting is to introduce the Project and the
prequalification process. The prequalification meeting will be held at the City’s Corporation Yard,
25 Prado Road, San Luis Obispo, 93401.
The prequalification outreach meeting will be broadcast via video conference for those
Candidates unable to attend in person. Details for the video broadcast and login instructions will
be posted to www.bidsync.com in advance of the meeting.
Project Description
The City owns and operates the Water Resource Recovery Facility (“WRRF”) located on Prado
Road in San Luis Obispo, California. The WRRF treats municipal wastewater collected from the
City, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), and the San Luis Obispo County Airport
under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) R3-2014-0033 and National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) No. CA0049224. The WRRF is currently rated for 5.1 million gallons
per day (mgd) of average dry weather flow (ADWF) conditions and currently treats an average of
approximately 3.1 mgd under ADWF conditions. After being treated, the water is either recycled
or discharged to San Luis Obispo Creek.
The WRRF was originally constructed in 1923 and upgraded or expanded in 1942, 1962, 1982,
and 1994, and in 2006 the water reuse facilities were added. The Project will upgrade the WRRF
to meet City’s new NPDES permit, treat future flows and loading, replace aging equipment,
maximize the production of recycled water, and incorporate interpretive features and public
amenities.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT A Page 8
A key driver of the Project is the new NPDES permit adopted in September 2014 (effective
December 1, 2014). The new permit includes discharge limitations that will require significant
process upgrades. Specifically, the new permit includes strict disinfection byproduct limits which
will require a new disinfection technology, as well as nitrate limits which will require a significant
upgrade of the secondary treatment processes. A new Time Schedule Order (TSO) was also
adopted in September 2014 which requires City to achieve the disinfection byproduct limits and
nitrate limits by November 30, 2019.
Project improvements include the construction of a new Water Resource Center with process
laboratory and educational space; expanded flow equalization basin, flow structure modifications
and new flow equalization pump station; headworks modifications; odor control system; primary
clarifier modifications, new primary sludge pumping system, and new primary scum pumping
system; new chemical facilities; new primary effluent screens; modifications to existing bioreactor
basins; new bioreactor basins and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility; new ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection facility; new effluent cooling facility; gravity thickener modifications; new sludge
thickening facility; new aerobic digester, modifications to existing digester, modifications to sludge
storage tank, and modifications to existing digester equipment; site electrical facilities; site work;
and landscaping.
The Project has been conditionally approved to receive funding from the State Water Resources
Control Board through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). Eligible bidders will be
required to comply with all CWSRF requirements including Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) outreach, Federal Davis Bacon wage rates, and utilization of American Iron and Steel.
Preliminary Construction Drawings
Select drawings from the 60% preliminary design submittal have been included as Appendix L.
These drawings are provided for reference only, are subject to change through the design
process, and are not to be used for bidding purposes.
Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
The estimated construction cost of the Project is between $90 million and $110 million.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PREQUALIFICATION
PACKAGES
Each general contractor wishing to bid on the contract to construct the Project must fully complete
the Prequalification Package and provide all information and materials requested and satisfy the
prequalification criteria. If two or more business entities wish to bid the Project as a joint venture
("JV"), each entity must fully complete the Prequalification Package and be separately deemed
prequalified to bid. The JV must be properly licensed by the California Contractors State License
Board and registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations before the
construction contract is executed.
Answers to questions contained in the Prequalification Package, information about current
bonding capacity, a notarized statement from surety, with accompanying notes and supplemental
information, will be used by the City in order to rate Candidates with respect to their qualifications
to bid on the Project. The City reserves the right to check any other sources available to verify
Candidate’s statements, prior performance and veracity. The City’s decision will be based on
objective evaluation criteria described in the Evaluation Process Section below.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT A Page 9
While the prequalification process is intended to assist the City in determining bidder responsibility
prior to bid, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the
City from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness,
capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the
requisite trustworthiness.
Candidates shall provide only complete and accurate information. The Candidate acknowledges
that the City is relying on the truth and accuracy of the responses contained herein. If any
information provided by a Candidate becomes inaccurate, the Candidate must immediately notify
the City and provide updated accurate information in writing, accompanied by an affidavit made
under penalty of perjury. Should a Candidate omit requested information or falsify information,
the City may determine that the contractor is not qualified.
Attach additional sheets as needed to provide complete responses.
Except where information related to former entities is expressly required, for purposes of
evaluation, scoring and prequalification, all required Candidate information, including but not
limited to experience, personnel and finances, must be provided for the licensed entity that will be
bidding for the contract to construct the Project. Information related to parent companies,
subsidiaries, and any other related entity or proposed subcontractors will not be considered.
The prequalification of contractors will be determined by evaluation of the information submitted
by Candidates. The City may verify any or all information provided in completed Prequalification
Package, consider information provided by sources other than the Candidate, and conduct such
investigations as the City deems appropriate to assist in the evaluation of Candidate's
responsibility, qualifications, and financial capacity.
If a Candidate seeking prequalification has not been in business for the time period for which
information is requested, it shall submit information on predecessor entities covering that time
period.
The City may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are
not provided. There is no appeal from the City’s decision not to prequalify a Candidate due to an
incomplete or late application.
Certification
Each Prequalification Package must be completed with all information requested and be signed
under penalty of perjury by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Candidate seeking
prequalification. The City must receive all Prequalification Packages and materials requested
therein by the date and time stated in this RFQ. Prequalification Packages that are incomplete,
unsigned or received after the specified time may be returned unopened, and the Candidate will
not be eligible to participate in the bidding of the Project.
Public Records
As provided in Public Contract Code Section 20101, the Prequalification Packages submitted by
Candidates are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided
will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed
to third parties for purpose of verification or investigation, or in an appeal hearing. State law
requires that the names of Candidates applying for prequalification status shall be public records
subject to disclosure, and the first page of the Questionnaire will be used for that purpose.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)

Protest Procedure
A. Any protest relating to the form or content of the RFQ must be submitted in writing at least
ten (10) business days before the original deadline for submitting Statements of Qualification. Any

process.
B. A Candidate may file a “protest” of the RFQ with the City.
C. Any protest must meet all of the following requirements:
1. Be filed in writing within five (5) business days after the RFQ is first posted or
published;
2. Clearly identify the alleged irregularity or other basis for the protest; and
3. Specify, in detail, the factual and legal grounds for the protest.
D. If the protest does not meet all of these requirements, the City may reject it without further
review.

the protest and all relevant information. The City will provide a written response to the protestor.
F. The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are the sole
and exclusive remedy in the event of a protest. Failure to comply with these procedures shall
constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and a waiver of any right to further pursue
the protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.
Appeals Process
Where a timely and completed prequalification application results in a rating below that necessary
to prequalify, the Candidate can appeal the determination. To appeal, the Candidate must deliver
written notice to City of its appeal of the decision with respect to its prequalification determination,
no later than five (5) business days after City staff issues its recommendation of the qualified
Project Bidders List. Without a timely notice of appeal, the Candidate waives any and all rights to
challenge the decision of the City, whether by administrative process, judicial process, or any
other legal process or proceeding. The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are
mandatory and are the sole and exclusive remedy in the event a Candidate contests the City’s
decision. Failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a failure to exhaust
administrative remedies and a waiver of any right to further pursue the bid protest, including filing
a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.
The letter of appeal must include a written statement specifying in detail each and every one of
the grounds asserted for the appeal. The letter of appeal must be signed by an individual
authorized to represent the Candidate and must cite the relevant section of the RFQ or Appendix
on which the appeal is based. In addition, the Candidate must specify facts and evidence sufficient
for the City to determine the validity of the appeal.
If a letter of appeal is mailed, the Candidate bears the risk of non-delivery within the deadlines
specified herein. Letters of appeal should be transmitted by a means that will conclusively
establish the date the City receives the appeal. Appeals or notice of appeals made orally (e.g., by
telephone) will not be considered. Letters of appeal must be delivered to the Project Manager as
described in Section 6 “Project Administration”.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT A Page 13
If the Candidate files a complete and timely letter of appeal, a review of the appeal shall
commence soon after receipt of the request. The review shall be conducted by the City or its
designee and will be based upon the information submitted by the Candidate in its letter of appeal.
The City will notify the Candidate in writing of its decision at the conclusion of the review. The
decision of the City is final.
If a Candidate provides the required notice of appeal and requests a hearing, the hearing shall
be conducted so that it is concluded no later than ten (10) business days after the City’s receipt
of the notice of appeal. The hearing shall be an informal process conducted by the City’s
designee, who is delegated responsibility to hear such appeals (the “Appeals Panel”). At or prior
to the hearing, the Candidate will be advised of the basis for the City’s prequalification
determination. The Candidate will be given the opportunity to present information and reasons
opposing the rating. Within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals
Panel shall render its decision, which will be final and binding. It is the intention of the City that
the date for the submission and opening of any bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for
completion of an appeal process.

recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall
require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with
any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder.
Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in
this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver
of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage
feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by
any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires
and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available
insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be
available to the City.

be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind
that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds
ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies)
shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and
any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of
Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of
this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
Agency’s Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any time during the

substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s
compensation.

Request for
STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATION
Electrical Subcontractors for Construction of the
WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY PROJECT
1. INTRODUCTION
The City of San Luis Obispo (“City”) is issuing this Request for Statements of Qualification (RFQ)
in search of candidates (“Candidates”) who have the necessary qualifications as set forth in this
RFQ to be prequalified to submit an electrical subcontract bid to prequalified general contractors
on the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility Project (“Project”).
The City has determined that electrical subcontractors interested in bidding on this Project must
be prequalified prior to submitting a bid (to general contractors). Electrical subcontractors
specifically experienced with large scale municipal wastewater, recycled water, or potable water
treatment plant construction are invited to participate in the prequalification process. Candidates
must fully complete the prequalification application package (“Prequalification Package”),
including but not limited to the Prequalification Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”), provide all
materials requested herein, and be deemed prequalified by City to be eligible to submit bids for
the electrical scope of the Project to prequalified general contractors. The final list of prequalified
general contractors, electrical subcontractors, and control systems integrators will be issued
following evaluation of the Prequalification Packages. The City will not accept a bid proposal from
any general contractor that is not on the Project Bidders List and the City will not accept a bid
from any prequalified general contractor that does not list a prequalified electrical subcontractor
for the electrical portion of the Project scope and a prequalified control systems integrator for the
systems integration portion of the Project scope, or complete the separate prequalification
process for electrical subcontractors and control systems integrators itself and be prequalified to
self-perform that work. If two or more business entities intend to submit a bid as part of a Joint
Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must submit a fully complete Prequalification
Package and be separately qualified to bid.
The prequalification procedure involves the review and evaluation of information regarding the
proven experience of Candidates to construct the Project in a manner acceptable to the City. The
experience of each Candidate will be evaluated on the basis of the qualification submittal and
information gathered by the City from the references of related projects. Proven experience is
defined as the actual performance of the Candidate on previous construction projects of a similar
size and complexity as corroborated by said references. The City is not obligated to prequalify or
accept a Candidate with no or unsatisfactory related experience.
Candidates may obtain an electronic copy of the Prequalification Package and excerpts from the
preliminary design plans from www.bidsync.com. Responses to Candidates’ questions and any
addenda to the RFQ will be posted to www.bidsync.com. Portions of the 60% preliminary design
submittal are provided for information only and are not intended for bidding or construction
purposes. Prequalified bidders will be responsible to prepare bids based on the final design plans
and contract documents to be issued with the Notice Inviting Bids.
The City reserves the right to cancel this Notice or to reject any and all responses and
Prequalification Packages, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such cancellation or rejection
is in the best interest of the City. The City reserves the right to bid the Project without use of the
Bidders List.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT B Page 92
Objective
The objective of this RFQ is to provide sufficient information to enable Candidates to submit
written Prequalification Packages. Only qualified Candidates will be eligible to submit a bid to the
general contractor for electrical construction services for the Project. It is required that the
electrical subcontractor perform the majority of the electrical work. Candidates responding to this
RFQ do so with the understanding that they are not guaranteed the awarding of contracts and
work. Qualified Candidates may be required to meet additional qualifications as detailed in the
Project bid package.
In addition to this Prequalification Package for electrical subcontractors, general contractors and
control systems integrators must also be prequalified under a separate, but concurrent,
prequalification process. Should a general contractor plan to self-perform the electrical work or
the control systems integration work, it will need to submit an electrical subcontractor
Prequalification Package and a control systems integrator Prequalification Package. Should a
general contractor be prequalified by the Owner as a general contractor and not an electrical
subcontractor and/or a control systems integrator, that general contractor will not be allowed to
self-perform the electrical work and/or the control systems integration work and must use one of
the electrical subcontractors and control systems integrators that is approved by the City for the
electrical work and control systems integration work. Likewise, should a general contractor be
prequalified as an electrical subcontractor and/or a control systems integrator and not as a
general contractor, that general contractor will not be allowed to submit a bid to the City as a
general contractor. However, that same general contractor can submit a quote for the electrical
work and/or the control systems integration work to any of the general contractors that are
prequalified by the City.
Prequalification Outreach Meeting
A non-mandatory prequalification outreach meeting and site tour has been scheduled for May 8,
2018 at 10 AM. The purpose of the prequalification outreach meeting is to introduce the Project
and the prequalification process. The prequalification meeting will be held at the City’s
Corporation Yard, 25 Prado Road, San Luis Obispo, 93401.
Project Description
The City owns and operates the Water Resource Recovery Facility (“WRRF”) located on Prado
Road in San Luis Obispo, California. The WRRF treats municipal wastewater collected from the
City, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), and the San Luis Obispo County Airport
under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) R3-2014-0033 and National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) No. CA0049224. The WRRF is currently rated for 5.1 million gallons
per day (mgd) of average dry weather flow (ADWF) conditions and currently treats an average of
approximately 3.1 mgd under ADWF conditions. After being treated, the water is either recycled
or discharged to San Luis Obispo Creek.
The WRRF was originally constructed in 1923 and upgraded or expanded in 1942, 1962, 1982,
and 1994, and in 2006 the water reuse facilities were added. The Project will upgrade the WRRF
to meet City’s new NPDES permit, treat future flows and loading, replace aging equipment,
maximize the production of recycled water, and incorporate interpret ive features and public
amenities.
A key driver of the Project is the new NPDES permit adopted in September 2014 (effective
December 1, 2014). The new permit includes discharge limitations that will require significant
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT B Page 93
process upgrades. Specifically, the new permit includes strict disinfection byproduct limits which
will require a new disinfection technology, as well as nitrate limits which will require a significant
upgrade of the secondary treatment processes. A new Time Schedule Order (TSO) was also
adopted in September 2014 which requires City to achieve the disinfection byproduct limits and
nitrate limits by November 30, 2019.
Project improvements include the construction of a new Water Resource Center with process
laboratory and educational space; expanded flow equalization basin, flow structure modifications
and new flow equalization pump station; headworks modifications; odor control system; primary
clarifier modifications, new primary sludge pumping system, and new primary scum pumping
system; new chemical facilities; new primary effluent screens; modifications to existing bioreactor
basins; new bioreactor basins and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility; new ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection facility; new effluent cooling facility; gravity thickener modifications; new sludge
thickening facility; new aerobic digester, modifications to existing digester, modifications to sludge
storage tank, and modifications to existing digester equipment; site electrical facilities; site work;
and landscaping.
The Project has been conditionally approved to receive funding from the State Water Resources
Control Board through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). Eligible bidders will be
required to comply with all CWSRF requirements including Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) outreach, Federal Davis Bacon wage rates, and utilization of American Iron and Steel.
Preliminary Construction Drawings
Select drawings from the 60% preliminary design submittal have been included as Appendix L.
These drawings are for reference only, are subject to change through the design process and are
not to be used for bidding purposes.
Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
The estimated construction cost of the Project is between $90 million and $110 million. The
estimated cost of the electrical portion of the work is approximately $20 million.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PREQUALIFICATION
PACKAGES
Each electrical subcontractor wishing to submit a bid to a prequalified general contractor for
electrical construction services must fully complete the Prequalification Package and provide all
information and materials requested and satisfy the prequalification criteria. If two or more
business entities wish to bid the Project as a joint venture ("JV"), each entity must fully complete
the Prequalification Package and be separately deemed prequalified to bid. The JV must be
properly licensed by the California Contractors State License Board and registered with the
California Department of Industrial Relations before the construction contract is executed.
Answers to questions contained in the Prequalification Package, information about current
bonding capacity, a notarized statement from surety, with accompanying notes and supplemental
information, will be used by the City in order to rate Candidates with respect to their qualifications
to provide electrical construction services on the Project. The City reserves the right to check any
other sources available to verify Candidate’s statements, prior performance and veracity. The
City’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria described in the Evaluation Process
Section below.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT B Page 94
While the prequalification process is intended to assist the City in determining bidder responsibility
prior to bid, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the
City from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness,
capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the
requisite trustworthiness.
Candidates shall provide only complete and accurate information. The Candidate acknowledges
that the City is relying on the truth and accuracy of the responses contained herein. If any
information provided by a Candidate becomes inaccurate, the Candidate must immediately notify
the City and provide updated accurate information in writing, accompanied by an affidavit made
under penalty of perjury. Should a Candidate omit requested information or falsify information,
the City may determine that the contractor is not qualified.
Attach additional sheets as needed to provide complete responses.
Except where information related to former entities is expressly required, for purposes of
evaluation, scoring and prequalification, all required Candidate information, including but not
limited to experience, personnel and finances, must be provided for the licensed entity that will be
bidding for the contract to construct the Project. Information related to parent companies,
subsidiaries, and any other related entity or proposed subcontractors will not be considered.
The prequalification of contractors will be determined by evaluation of the information submitted
by Candidates. The City may verify any or all information provided in completed Prequalification
Package, consider information provided by sources other than the Candidate, and conduct such
investigations as the City deems appropriate to assist in the evaluation of Candidate's
responsibility, qualifications, and financial capacity.
If a Candidate seeking prequalification has not been in business for the time period for which
information is requested, it shall submit information on predecessor entities covering that time
period.
The City may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are
not provided. There is no appeal from the City’s decision not to prequalify a Candidate due to an
incomplete or late application.
Certification
Each Prequalification Package must be completed with all information requested and be signed
under penalty of perjury by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Candidate seeking
prequalification. The City must receive all Prequalification Packages and materials requested
therein by the date and time stated in This RFQ. Prequalification Packages that are incomplete,
unsigned or received after the specified time may be returned unopened, and the Candidate will
not be eligible to participate in the bidding of the Project.
Public Records
As provided in Public Contract Code Section 20101, the Prequalification Packages submitted by
Candidates are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided
will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed
to third parties for purpose of verification or investigation, or in an appeal hearing. State law
requires that the names of Candidates applying for prequalification status shall be public records
subject to disclosure, and the first page of the Questionnaire will be used for that purpose.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)

constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and a waiver of any right to further pursue
the protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.
Appeals Process
Where a timely and completed prequalification application results in a rating below that necessary
to prequalify, the Candidate can appeal the determination. To appeal, the Candidate must deliver
notice to the City of its appeal of the decision with respect to its prequalification determination, no
later than five (5) business days after City staff issues its recommendation of the qualified Project
Bidders List. Without a timely notice of appeal, the Candidate waives any and all rights to
challenge the decision of the City, whether by administrative process, judicial process, or any
other legal process or proceeding. The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are
mandatory and are the sole and exclusive remedy in the event a Candidate contests the City’s
decision. Failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a failure to exhaust
administrative remedies and a waiver of any right to further pursue the bid protest, including filing
a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings.
The letter of appeal must include a written statement specifying in detail each and every one of
the grounds asserted for the appeal. The letter of appeal must be signed by an individual
authorized to represent the Candidate and must cite the relevant section of the RFQ or Appendix
on which the appeal is based. In addition, the Candidate must specify facts and evidence sufficient
for the City to determine the validity of the appeal.
If a letter of appeal is mailed, the Candidate bears the risk of non-delivery within the deadlines
specified herein. Letters of appeal should be transmitted by a means that will conclusively
establish the date the City receives the appeal. Appeals or notice of appeals made orally (e.g., by
telephone) will not be considered. Letters of appeal must be delivered to the Project Manager as
described in Section 6 “Project Administration”.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT B Page 98
If the Candidate files a complete and timely letter of appeal, a review of the appeal shall
commence soon after receipt of the request. The review shall be an informal process conducted
by the City or its designee and will be based upon the information submitted by the Candidate in
its letter of appeal. The City will notify the Candidate in writing of its decision at the conclusion of
the review. The decision of the City is final.
If a Candidate provides the required notice of appeal and requests a hearing, the hearing shall
be conducted so that it is concluded no later than ten (10) business days after the City’s receipt
of the notice of appeal. The hearing shall be an informal process conducted by the City’s
designee, who is delegated responsibility to hear such appeals (the “Appeals Panel”). At or prior
to the hearing, the Candidate will be advised of the basis for the City’s prequalification
determination. The Candidate will be given the opportunity to present information and reasons
opposing the rating. Within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals
Panel shall render its decision, which will be final and binding. It is the intention of the City that
the date for the submission and opening of any bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for
completion of an appeal process.

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Project, Contractor and its

Contractor will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage

limits set forth herein, then those higher limits shall apply.
Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section
constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to
Contractor or its subcontractors in excess of the limits and coverage identified in this Agreement
and which is applicable to a given loss, claim or demand, will be equally available to City.
A. Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Without limiting Contractor’s indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of the Project,
Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this
Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form
satisfactory to City.
General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance
with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not
less than $25,000,000 per occurrence, $35,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage, and a $35,000,000 completed operations aggregate. The policy

this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an
amount not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or
excess liability insurance that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage
liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial
general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include
the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance
that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any
reason;

• Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies;
• Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and

representatives, employees or subcontractors. Contractor must maintain general liability and
umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to comp leted
operations claims. City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall continue as
additional insureds under such policies.
Primary/Noncontributing. Coverage provided by Contractor shall be primary and any insurance
or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The
limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or
excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a
provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the
benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it
as a named insured.
Products/Completed Operations Coverage. Products/completed operations coverage shall
extend a minimum of ten (10) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf
of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the
insured is using subcontractors, the Policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the

defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically
provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The City, its officials, officers, agents, and
employees, shall be included as additional insureds under the Products and Completed
Operations coverage.
Agency’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this
Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, City has
the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by
City will be promptly reimbursed by Contractor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay
premium from Contractor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently
authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of
Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating
of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest
edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s risk manager.
Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this
agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers,

providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of

EXHIBIT B Page 161
recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall
require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with
any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder.
Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in
this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver
of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a g iven coverage
feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by
any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires
and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available
insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be
available to the City.
Notice of Cancellation. Contractor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers
to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a
ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
Additional Insured Status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that
AGENCY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds
under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will
be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind
that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds
ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies)
shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and
any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of
Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the req uirements of
this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
Agency’s Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any time during the
term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the
Contractor a ninety (90) day advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City and Contractor may renegotiate Contractor’s
compensation.
Self-insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City.
City reserves the right to require that self -insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced

protection and prosecution of the Work.

Request for Statements of Qualification
Request for
STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATION
Control Systems Integration Subcontractors for Construction of the
WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY PROJECT
1. INTRODUCTION
The City of San Luis Obispo (“City”) is issuing this Request for Statements of Qualification (RFQ)
in search of candidates (“Candidates”) who have the necessary qualifications as set forth in this
RFQ to be prequalified to submit a control systems integration subcontract bid to prequalified
general contractors on the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility Project (“Project”).
The City has determined that control systems integration subcontractors interested in bidding on
this Project must be prequalified prior to submitting a bid (to general contractors). Candidates with
a proven record as a control systems integrator and substantial experience as a
supplier/integrator of real-time computer data acquisition, control and communication systems
utilized on large scale municipal wastewater, recycled water, or potable water treatment plant
construction are invited to participate in the prequalification process. Candidates must fully
complete the prequalification application package (“Prequalification Package”), including but not
limited to the Prequalification Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”), provide all materials requested
herein, and be deemed prequalified by City to be eligible to submit bids for the control systems
integration scope of the Project to prequalif ied general contractors. The final list of prequalified
general contractors, electrical subcontractors, and control systems integrators will be issued
following evaluation of the Prequalification Packages. The City will not accept a bid proposal from
any general contractor that is not on the Project Bidders List and the City will not accept a bid
from any prequalified general contractor that does not list a prequalified electrical subcontractor
for the electrical portion of the Project scope and a prequalified control systems integrator for the
control systems integration portion of the Project scope, or complete the separate prequalification
process for electrical subcontractors and control systems integrators itself and be prequalified to
self-perform that work. If two or more business entities intend to submit a bid as part of a Joint
Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must submit a fully complete Prequalification
Package and be separately qualified to bid.
The prequalification procedure involves the review and evaluation of information regarding the
proven experience of Candidates to construct the Project in a manner acceptable to the City. The
experience of each Candidate will be evaluated on the basis of the qualification submittal and
information gathered by the City from the references of related projects. Proven experience is
defined as the actual performance of the Candidate on previous construction projects of a similar
size and complexity as corroborated by said references. The City is not obligated to prequalify or
accept a Candidate with no or unsatisfactory related experience.
Candidates may obtain an electronic copy of the Prequalification Package and excerpts from the
preliminary design plans from www.bidsync.com. Responses to Candidates’ questions and any
addenda to the RFQ will be posted to www.bidsync.com. Portions of the 60% preliminary design
submittal are provided for information only and are not intended for bidding or construction
purposes. Prequalified bidders will be responsible to prepare bids based on the final design plans
and contract documents to be issued with the Notice Inviting Bids.
The City reserves the right to cancel this Notice or to reject any and all responses and
Prequalification Packages, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such cancellation or rejection
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT C Page 194
City of San Luis Obispo 2 Water Resource Recovery Facility Project
Request for Statements of Qualification
is in the best interest of the City. The City reserves the right to bid the Project without use of the
Bidders List.
Objective
The objective of this RFQ is to provide sufficient information to enable Candidates to submit
written Prequalification Packages. Only qualified Candidates will be eligible to submit a bid to the
general contractor for control systems integration services for the Project. It is required that the
electrical subcontractor perform the majority of the electrical work. Candidates responding to this
RFQ do so with the understanding that they are not guaranteed the awarding of contracts and
work. Qualified Candidates may be required to meet additional qualifications as detailed in the
Project bid package.
In addition to this Prequalification Package for control systems integrators, general contractors
and electrical subcontractors must also be prequalified under a separate, but concurrent,
prequalification process. Should a general contractor plan to self-perform the electrical work or
the control systems integration work, it will need to submit an electrical subcontractor
Prequalification Package and a control systems integrator Prequalification Package. Should a
general contractor be prequalified by the Owner as a general contractor and not an electrical
subcontractor and/or a control systems integrator, that general contractor will not be allowed to
self-perform the electrical work and/or the control systems integration work and must use one of
the electrical subcontractors and control systems integrators that is approved by the City for the
electrical work and control systems integration work. Likewise, should a general contractor be
prequalified as an electrical subcontractor and/or a control systems integrator and not as a
general contractor, that general contractor will not be allowed to submit a bid to the City as a
general contractor. However, that same general contractor can submit a quote for the electrical
work and/or the control systems integration work to any of the general contractors that are
prequalified by the City.
Prequalification Outreach Meeting
A non-mandatory prequalification outreach meeting and site tour has been scheduled for May 8,
2018 at 10 AM. The purpose of the prequalification outreach meeting is to introduce the Project
and the prequalification process. The prequalification meeting will be held at the City’s
Corporation Yard, 25 Prado Road, San Luis Obispo, 93401.
Project Description
The City owns and operates the Water Resource Recovery Facility (“WRRF”) located on Prado
Road in San Luis Obispo, California. The WRRF treats municipal wastewater collected from the
City, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), and the San Luis Obispo County Airport
under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) R3-2014-0033 and National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) No. CA0049224. The WRRF is currently rated for 5.1 million gallons
per day (mgd) of average dry weather flow (ADWF) conditions and currently treats an average of
approximately 3.1 mgd under ADWF conditions. After being treated, the water is either recycled
or discharged to San Luis Obispo Creek.
The WRRF was originally constructed in 1923 and upgraded or expanded in 1942, 1962, 1982,
and 1994, and in 2006 the water reuse facilities were added. The Project will upgrade the WRRF
to meet City’s new NPDES permit, treat future flows and loading, replace aging equipment,
maximize the production of recycled water, and incorporate interpretive features and public
amenities.
Resolution No. 10882 (2018 Series)
EXHIBIT C Page 195
City of San Luis Obispo 3 Water Resource Recovery Facility Project
Request for Statements of Qualification
A key driver of the Project is the new NPDES permit adopted in September 2014 (effective
December 1, 2014). The new permit includes discharge limitations that will require significant
process upgrades. Specifically, the new permit includes strict disinfection byproduct limits which
will require a new disinfection technology, as well as nitrate limits which will require a significant
upgrade of the secondary treatment processes. A new Time Schedule Order (TSO) was also
adopted in September 2014 which requires City to achieve the disinfection byproduct limits and
nitrate limits by November 30, 2019.
Project improvements include the construction of a new Water Resource Center with process
laboratory and educational space; expanded flow equalization basin, flow structure modifications
and new flow equalization pump station; headworks modifications; odor control system; primary
clarifier modifications, new primary sludge pumping system, and new primary scum pumping
system; new chemical facilities; new primary effluent screens; modifications to existing bioreactor
basins; new bioreactor basins and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility; new ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection facility; new effluent cooling facility; gravity thickener modifications; new sludge
thickening facility; new aerobic digester, modifications to existing digester, modifications to sludge
storage tank, and modifications to existing digester equipment; site electrical facilities; site work;
and landscaping.
The Project has been conditionally approved to receive funding from the State Water Resources
Control Board through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). Eligible bidders will be
required to comply with all CWSRF requirements including Disadvantaged Business Enterprise

2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PREQUALIFICATION
PACKAGES
Each control systems integrator wishing to submit a bid to a prequalified general contractor for
systems integration services must fully complete the Prequalification Package and provide all
information and materials requested and satisfy the prequalification criteria. If two or more
business entities wish to bid the Project as a joint venture ("JV"), each entity must fully complete
the Prequalification Package and be separately deemed prequalified to bid. The JV must be
properly licensed by the California Contractors State License Board and registered with the
California Department of Industrial Relations before the construction contract is executed.
Answers to questions contained in the Prequalification Package, information about current
bonding capacity, a notarized statement from surety, with accompanying notes and supplemental
information, will be used by City in order to rate Candidates with respect to their qualifications to
provide control systems integration services on the Project. The City reserves the right to check
any other sources available to verify Candidate’s statements, prior performance and veracity. The
City’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria described in the Evaluation Process
Section below.

City of San Luis Obispo 4 Water Resource Recovery Facility Project
Request for Statements of Qualification
While the prequalification process is intended to assist the City in determining bidder responsibility
prior to bid, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the
City from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness,
capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the
requisite trustworthiness.
Candidates shall provide only complete and accurate information. The Candidate acknowledges
that the City is relying on the truth and accuracy of the responses contained herein. If any
information provided by a Candidate becomes inaccurate, the Candidate must immediately notify
the City and provide updated accurate information in writing, accompanied by an affidavit made
under penalty of perjury. Should a Candidate omit requested information or falsify information,
the City may determine that the contractor is not qualified.
Attach additional sheets as needed to provide complete responses.
Except where information related to former entities is expressly required, for purposes of
evaluation, scoring and prequalification, all required Candidate information, including but not
limited to experience, personnel and finances, must be provided for the licensed entity that will be
bidding for the contract to construct the Project. Information related to parent companies,
subsidiaries, and any other related entity or proposed subcontractors will not be considered.
The prequalification of contractors will be determined by evaluation of the information submitted
by Candidates. The City may verify any or all information provided in completed Prequalification
Package, consider information provided by sources other than the Candidate, and conduct such
investigations as the City deems appropriate to assist in the evaluation of Candidate's
responsibility, qualifications, and financial capacity.
If a Candidate seeking prequalification has not been in business for the time period for which
information is requested, it shall submit information on predecessor entities covering that tim e
period.
The City may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are
not provided. There is no appeal from the City’s decision not to prequalify a Candidate due to an
incomplete or late application.
Certification
Each Prequalification Package must be completed with all information requested and be signed
under penalty of perjury by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Candidate seeking
prequalification. The City must receive all Prequalification Packages and materials requested
therein by the date and time stated in This RFQ. Prequalification Packages that are incomplete,
unsigned or received after the specified time may be returned unopened, and the Candidate will
not be eligible to participate in the bidding of the Project.

limits set forth herein, then those higher limits shall apply.
Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section
constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to
Contractor or its subcontractors in excess of the limits and coverage identified in this Agreement
and which is applicable to a given loss, claim or demand, will be equally available to City.

with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not
less than $25,000,000 per occurrence, $35,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage, and a $35,000,000 completed operations aggregate. The policy

standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain automobile insurance at least as
broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage
for all activities of the Contractor arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under

amount not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance. Contractor shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or
excess liability insurance that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage
liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial
general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include
the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance
that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any
reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement;
• Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies;
• Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and

limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or
excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a

require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with
any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder.
Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in
this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver
of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage
feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by
any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any
type. If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires
and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available
insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be

be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind
that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds
ensuring that Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies)
shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass Through Clause. Contractor agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and
any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by
Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of
Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of
this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants,
subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
Agency’s Right to Revise Requirements. The City reserves the right at any time during the
