SP DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME. In the event that a disagreement shall arise between the City and the Contractor over Time of Performance as extended by the City due to an allowed suspension of work, the Contractor may request an extension from the City Manager. Such requests shall be filed with the City Clerk, addressed to the City Manager, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the Time of Performance as modified.

In determining to whom the award is to be made, the awarding authority may consider, in addition to the bid or quotation received, the experience of the bidder for the particular service sought, the quality of work that the bidder has done, the quality of the product or materials provided by the bidder, the ability of the bidder to complete the project in a timely manner, the safety compliance record of the bidder, and the insurance carried by the bidder. SP STANDARDS OF NON-DISCRIMINATION A. The successful bidder and each subcontractor shall undertake action to ensure that applicants and employees are treated fairly such that the principles of equal opportunity in employment are demonstrated positively and aggressively during employment, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, disability, or national origin.

24 Each subcontractor shall, prior to entering into a contract with any successful bidder, execute and file with the City a certificate of nondiscrimination. SP PREVAILING WAGE AND WEEKLY CERTIFIED PAYROLL SUBMISSION. In general, the prevailing wage scale, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State of California, in force on the day this bid was announced, will be the minimum paid to all craftsmen and laborers working on this project. In some cases, prevailing wage determinations have either a single asterisk (*) or double asterisks (**) after the expiration date in effect on the date of advertisement for bids. In cases where the prevailing wage determinations have a single asterisk (*) after the expiration date which are in effect on the date of advertisement for bids, such determinations remain in effect for the life of the project. Prevailing wage determinations which have double asterisks (**) after the expiration date indicate that the basic hourly wage rate, overtime, and holiday pay rates, and employer payments to be paid for work performed after this date have been predetermined. If work is extended past this date, the new rate must be paid and should be incorporated in contracts the Contractor enters into. A copy of the correct determination will be posted at the job site. It is understood that it is the responsibility of the bidder to determine the correct scale. The City will keep a copy of the wage scale in the City Clerk's office for the convenience of bidders. Any errors or defects in the materials in the City Clerk's office will not excuse a bidder's failure to comply with the actual scale then in force. Each Contractor and Subcontractor and any lower-tier Subcontractor shall submit weekly certified payrolls for each work week from the time he starts work on the project until he completes his work. If he performs no work on the project during a given work week, he may either submit a weekly payroll form with the notation, "No work performed during this work week," or submit a letter to that effect. He should identify his initial and final payrolls by marking them "Initial" and "Final."

25 D. General Provisions for all insurance. All insurance shall: 1. Include the City of San Mateo, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents as additional insureds with respect to this Agreement and the performance of services in this Agreement. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the above-designated insureds. 2. Be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs of City, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents. 3. Be evidenced, prior to commencement of services, by properly executed policy endorsements in addition to a certificate of insurance. a. In addition to requiring that you provide an insurance certificate showing the levels and types of coverage required for your project or contract, the City of San Mateo also requires you to provide the City with a copy of the actual endorsements to the commercial general, automobile, and any excess liability insurance policies that show that the City of San Mateo, its elected and appointed officials, employees and agents have been named as additional insureds by the insurers. These endorsements are required because California Insurance Code 384 expressly provides that an insurance certificate is not proof of what the underlying insurance policy actually contains. If you look at an insurance certificate, you will notice that the certificate actually says the same thing. Therefore, a certificate has minimal legal value and the City cannot be reasonably certain that it is covered under the policies shown on the certificate without endorsements. An endorsement is a piece of paper that modifies the terms of the underlying policy and is issued by the insurance company itself, rather than a broker. A copy of a sample endorsement for commercial general liability is on the following page for your reference. 4. No changes in insurance may be made without the written approval of the City Attorney's office. A-25
