For the purposes of this section, "design/build entity" means a partnership, corporation, joint venture, or other legal entity that is able to provide appropriately licensed contracting, architectural, and engineering services as needed. d. The selection criteria for the design/build competition shall be based upon performance, price, and other criteria set forth by the Public Works Department in the solicitation proposals. The department shall establish technical criteria and methodology, including price, to evaluate proposals, and shall describe the criteria and methodology in the request for design/build proposals. Criteria used in this evaluation of proposals may include, but need not be limited to, items such as proposed design approach, life cycle cost, project features, and functions. The award shall be made to the desigNbuild entity whose proposal is judged as meeting the best interest of the City and meeting the objectives of the project. e. Prior to contracting for the procurement under design/build, the Public Works Director shall: (1) Prepare a program setting forth the scope of the project that may include, but is not limited to, the size, type, and desired design character of the buildings and site, performance specifications covering the quality of the materials, equipment and workmanship, or any other information deemed necessary to describe adequately the City's needs. The performance specifications shall be prepared by a design professional duly licensed and registered in the State of California. (2) (A) Establish a competitive selection process for design/build entities, including any subcontractors listed at the time of the submission, that clearly specifies the selection criteria, as well as recommends the manner in which the winning entity will be selected. (B) The Public Works Director shall consider at least the following criteria in selecting a design/build entity: (i) Possession of all required licenses, registration, and credentials in good standing that are required to design and construct the project. (ii) Submission of evidence that establishes the desigNbuild entity members have completed, or demonstrated the capability to complete, projects of similar size, scope or complexity, and that proposed key personnel have sufficient experience and training to competently manage and complete the design and construction of the project.

(v) Provision for a declaration certifying that applying members of the design/build entity have not had a surety company finish work on any project within the last five (5) years. (vi) Provision for information and a declaration providing details concerning at least the following: (1) Any construction or design claim or litigation totaling more than $500,000 or 5% of the annual value of work performed, which ever is less, settled or filed against any member of the design/build entity over the past five (5) years. (2) Serious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as provided in Part 1 (commencing with section 6.300) Division 5 of the Labor Code settled or filed against any member of the design/build entity. (3) Violations of federal or state law, including, but not limited to, those laws governing the payment of wages, benefits, or personal income tax withholding, or a Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) withholding requirements, State Disability Insurance withholding, or Unemployment Insurance payment requirements, settled or filed against any member of the design/build entity over the past five (5) years. (4) Information required by Section 10162 of the Public Contracts Code. (5) Violation of the Contractor State License Law (Chapter 9) commencing with Section 7000 (a Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code), excluding alleged violations or complaints. (6) Any criminal conviction or finding of liability or settlement in a civil action involving any member of the design/build entity of submitting a false or fraudulent claim to a public agency over the past five (5) years. (7) Provision for a declaration that the design/build entity will comply with all other provisions of law applicable to the project. f. The City Council recognizes design/build entity is charged with performing both design and construction. Because a design/build contract may be awarded prior to the completion of a design, it is often impracticable for the design/build -- Page 3 of 5 Pages -- '.': entity to list all subcontractors at the time of the award. As a result, a subcontractor listing requirement can create a conflict with the implementation of the design/build process by requiring all subcontractors to be listed at time when a sufficient set of plans may not be available. It is the intent of the City Council to establish a clear process for the selection and award of subcontracts entered into pursuant to this section in a manner that maintains protection for subcontractors while enabling design/build projects to be administered in an efficient fashion. Therefore, the following requirements shall apply, at a minimum, to subcontractors, licensed pursuant to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code, that are employed in design/build projects undertaken pursuant to this section: 1. The Public Works Department, and each design/build request for proposal, may identify types of subcontractors, by subcontractor license classification, that will be listed by the design/build entity at the time of the submission of proposal. In selecting the subcontractors that will be licensed by the design/build entity, the Public Works Department shall limit the identification to only those licensed classifications deemed essential for proper completion of the project. All subcontracts that were not listed by the design/build entity at the time of the submission of proposal shall be awarded in accordance with paragraph (f)2 of this Section. 2. All subcontracts that were not to be performed by the design/build entity in accordance with paragraph (f)l of this Section shall be competitively bid and awarded by the desigNbuild entity in accordance with the design/build process set forth by the department in the design/build package. g. Any design/build entity that is selected to design and build a project pursuant to this Section shall possess or obtain sufficient bonding as required by law. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit a general or engineering contractor from being designated the lead entity on a design/build entity for the purposes of purchasing necessary bonding to cover the activities of the design/build entity. SECTION 2. This Ordinance shall be posted in accordance with the provisions of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and shall become effective thirty (30) days from and after the date of its passage. .............. o0o .............. -- Page 4 of 5 Pages -- I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Ordinance was passed and adopted by the Council of the City of Bakersfield at a regular meeting thereof held onJUN 3 0 1999 by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBER CARSON, DEMOND, MAGGARD, COUCH, ROWLES, SULLIVAN, SALVAGGIO COUNCILMEMBER COUNCILMEMBER COUNCILMEMBER C TY CLERK and EX OF~CI_0 of CLuncil of the City of Bakersfield the APPROVED: JUI~ 3 (~ 1999 CITY OF BAKERSFIELD APPROVED AS TO FORM: BART J.
