Q & A
1. Schedule C, item 5 - What specifically is a “paint rig truck”? Is this for pavement striping or some other painting activity? If we don’t use this particular piece of equipment normally can we write in N/A? Or do we need to find a rental rate for this piece of equipment?
o Your understanding of paint rig truck is correct. If you don’t use the equipment or have availability, you can include N/A
2. Schedule B and F – CA prevailing wage rates include three separate categories – straight time, overtime, and premium time, in line with local union requirements. Typically, after hours call outs, weekend work and holiday work are required to be paid at premium rates whereas overtime rates are only used when a typical workday extends beyond 8 hours. Should we use the premium time prevailing wage rate for items that require overtime pricing in the bid schedules, assuming this work will be done after hours?
o City of Hayward’s normal working day is Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Any work outside of those hours are considered as overtime for the purposes of this RFP. While we understand the prevailing wage categories, it will be difficult for us to have control on outside agency working hours. If you estimate that you might end up paying your technicians premium rate for work done outside City’s normal working hours, then include those rates in Schedule B and F.
3. Schedule E, item 14-17 – Can you please clarify what a “green pedestrian light pole” is?
o All the traffic signal poles and streetlight poles along Mission Boulevard are decorative and painted green. Items 14-17 are the decorative and green colored poles along Mission Boulevard.
