NOTICE TO PRIME CONTRACTORS AND M/E/P SUBCONTRACTORS
TO PREQUALIFY FOR WORK ON MEASURE U BOND PROGRAM PROJECTS IN 2025-26
Notice is hereby given that the governing board of the Berryessa Union School District, (“District”) has determined that, pursuant to the California Public Contract Code section 20111.6, all general contractors (“Contractors”) for District projects going out for bid and involving a projected expenditure of $1 million or more that are eligible for state bond funding, must be prequalified AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS PRIOR TO THE BID OPENING DATE.
This is a rolling application acceptance process - approved contractors can remain active until June 30, 2026.
Any contractor interested in being listed as a an Approved Prequalified Contractor on District projects must submit fully completed and sealed District prequalification forms and financial information (“Prequalification Package”) to the Purchasing Department of the Berryessa Union School District.
If two or more business entities submit a bid on a project as a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid.
All Prequalification Packages shall be on the forms provided by the District. Prequalification forms are available for pick-up at the Purchasing Department, 981 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, CA 95131 or forms may be downloaded from the District website at www.berryessa.k12.ca.us click on Purchasing > Contractor Prequalification Packages.
To prequalify, a contractor is required, in addition to other criteria, to possess an applicable State of California Contractor License, which must remain active and in good standing throughout the term of the District project. The Berryessa Union School District has adopted a uniform system of rating bidders on the basis of the completed questionnaire and required financial statements in order to determine the size of the contracts upon which each bidder shall be deemed qualified to bid. A contractor may be denied prequalification status for omission of requested information or falsification of requested information.
If a contractor performs work for a District project, the contractor shall pay all workers on all work performed pursuant to a contract for the Project not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, State of California, for the type of work performed and the locality in which the work is to be performed within the boundaries of the District, pursuant to sections 1770 et seq. of the California Labor Code.
Prequalification Packages submitted by contractors are not public record and are not open to public inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. The contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in the appeal process, however. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for prequalification status shall be public records subject to disclosure.
While it is the intent of the pre-qualification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the District in determining bidder responsibility prior to the submission of bids and to aid the District in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of pre-qualification, nor any pre-qualification rating, will preclude the District from a post-bid consideration and determination on a specific project of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness. Contractors are encouraged to submit pre-qualification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of pre-qualification status well in advance of upcoming projects.
