Each Bid Proposal shall be accompanied by Bid Security in an amount not less than TEN PERCENT (10%) of the maximum amount of the Bid Proposal, inclusive of any additive Alternate Bid Item(s). Failure of any Bid Proposal to be accompanied by Bid Security in the form and in the amount required shall render such Bid Proposal to be non-responsive and rejected by the District. 1.09 No Withdrawal of Bid Proposals. No Bidder shall withdraw its Bid Proposal for a period of sixty (60) days after the award of the Contract by the District’s Board of Trustees. During this time, all Bidders shall guarantee prices quoted in their respective Bid Proposals. 1.10 Substitute Security. In accordance with the provisions of California Public Contract Code §22300, substitution of eligible and equivalent securities for any monies withheld by the District to ensure the Contractor’s performance under the Contract will be permitted at the request and expense of the Contractor. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Bidder to whom the Contract is awarded shall have thirty (30) days following action by the District’s Board of Trustees to award the Contract to such Bidder to submit its written request to the District to permit the substitution of securities for retention. The failure of the Bidder to make such written request to the District within said thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a waiver of the Bidder’s rights under California Public Contract Code §22300. 1.11 Waiver of Irregularities. The District reserves the right to reject any or all Bid Proposals or to waive, in accordance with any applicable laws, any irregularities or informalities in any Bid Proposal or in the bidding. 1.12 Award of Contract. Contract, if awarded, will be by action of the District’s Board of Trustees to the responsible Bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid in its Bid Proposal.  If the Bid Proposal requires Bidders to propose prices for Alternate Bid Items, the District’s selection of Alternate Bid Items, if any, for determination of the lowest priced Bid Proposal and for inclusion in the scope of the Contract to be awarded shall be in accordance with this Notice and the Instruction for Bidders. Commencing on April 1, 2015, the District shall not award a contract to any contractor or subcontractor that is not registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code §1725.5. Failure to provide adequate evidence of valid current registration constitutes grounds for rejection of the Bid Proposal as non-responsive, except as provided in Labor Code §1771.1(b). 1.13 Inquiries and Clarifications. This document is for informational purposes and shall not relieve the Bidder of the requirements to fully familiarize himself/herself with all the factors affecting the Project and his Bid. The District shall cease issuing any addenda no later than 72 hours before the time of the bid opening. The last RFI to be received by the District shall be 5:00pm, Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Verbal communication by either party with regard to this matter is invalid. Inquiries shall be sent to: The District’s Project Manager, Marcos Lopez – Senior Manager, Maintenance & Operations M6lopez@oxnardsd.org Emails shall use “District Office Enhancement Project RFI” in the subject line. 1.14 Alternate Bid Items. The selection of Bid Alternates for determination of the lowest Bid Proposal will be based upon the Base Bid Proposal alone or a combination of the Base Bid Proposal and one or more Bid Alternates as selected by the District in accordance with the following “blind bidding” procedures. After opening timely submitted Bid Proposals and before the public reading of the Bid Proposals, District staff who will not be engaged in the selection of Bid Alternates (“Clerical Staff”) will assign each Bidder an alphabetical letter for identification purposes. The Clerical Staff will mask all portions of the Bid Proposal and other documents submitted with Bid Proposals so that the identity of each Bidder and each listed subcontractor is not revealed. The Clerical Staff will maintain a list (“Bidders List”) which identifies each Bidder’s name and a corresponding alphabetical letter assigned to each Bidder. After completing the Bidders List, the Clerical Staff will publicly read the Bid Proposal amounts of each Bidder for the Base Bid as well as each Bid Alternate. In this public reading, Bidders will not be identified by name, only by alphabetical letter assigned to each Bidder. After the public reading of Bid Proposals, the Clerical Staff will provide the Project Manager, Architect and District staff responsible for selection of Bid Alternates (“Review Team”) copies of the Bid Proposals with the identities of Bidders and listed subcontractors masked. Bid Proposals reviewed by the Review Team will identify Bidders only by alphabetical letters. At such time as the Review Team has completed its review of the Bid Proposals, has selected Bid Alternates and has determined which Bidder (by the alphabetical letter designation assigned by Clerical Staff) has submitted the lowest Bid Proposal based upon the Base Bid and any combination of the Bid Alternates as determined by the Review Team, the Clerical Staff will make available to the Review Team the Bidders List so that the identity of the Bidder to be awarded the Contract can be identified. Until such time as the Review Team has completed review of Bid Proposals and determination of which Bidder has submitted the lowest responsive Bid Proposal, there will be no communication between members of the Clerical Staff and members of the Review Team regarding the identities of Bidders or listed subcontractors or any disclosure of any portion of the Bidders List. 1.15 Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Participation Goals. The District has established a participation goal of three percent (3%) for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (“DVBE”) of the Work of the Contract.
