§ 4-508. SUBCONTRACTOR LISTING.

The city recognizes that the Design-Build Entity is charged with performing both design and construction. Because a design-build contract may be awarded prior to the completion of the design, it is often impracticable for the Design-Build Entity to list all subcontractors at the time of the award. It is the intent of the city to establish a clear process for the selection and award of subcontracts entered into pursuant to this article in a manner that affords protection for subcontractors while enabling design-build projects to be administered in an efficient fashion. All of the requirements expressly set forth herein shall apply to subcontractors, licensed by the state, that are employed on design-build projects undertaken pursuant to this article.

(a)

The Design-Build Entity in each design-build proposal shall specify the construction trades or types of subcontractors that may be named as Design-Build Entity Members of the Design-Build Entity at the time of award. In selecting the trades that may be identified as Design-Build Entity Members of the Design-Build Entity, the Design-Build Entity shall identify the trades deemed essential in the design considerations of the design-build project.

(b)

Subcontracts not listed at time of award shall be performed or awarded by the Design-Build Entity in accordance with a bidding process set forth in the respective request for proposals or bid invitation. The Design-Build Entity shall furnish to the city documentation to verify that all subcontracts not listed at the time of award were subsequently awarded in accordance with the respective request for proposals or bid invitation. All subcontractors that are listed at the time of award, or subsequently in accordance with the respective request for proposals or bid invitation, shall be afforded the protection of Section 4107 of the Public Contract Code, as amended.
