DESCRIPTION Requirement to List Subcontractors
The City Attorney ' s Office reviewed the request from Dickman-Nourse , Inc.
(DNI) , to substitute Nor-Cal Millwork, Inc. (NOR-CAL) . Section 4104 of the
Public Contract Code requires bidders to list subcontractors performing work
in excess of 1/2 of 1% of the prime contractors total bid. DNI listed NOR-
CAL as the subcontractor for millwork.
Section 4107 (a) ( 1 ) of the Public Contract Code authorizes the substitution
of a subcontractor in the following situation: "When the subcontractor
listed in the bid after having had a reasonable opportunity to do so fails
or refuses to execute a written contract , when that written contract, based
upon the general terms , conditions , plans and specifications for the project
involved or the terms of that subcontractor ' s written bid, is presented to
the subcontractor by the prime contractor" .
As evidenced in Exhibit 2 , NOR-CAL was presented with an agreement and it
was returned unsigned to be cancelled.
Procedure for Substitution
Section 4107 (a) of the Public Contract Code specifies the procedure to be
used in substituting a subcontractor. First , the City is required to
provide written notice to the subcontractor of the request. Exhibit 3 dated
June 16 , 1988, fulfilled this requirement . The notice was received by NOR-
CAL on June 17 , 1988. Pursuant to the Code , the Contractor must file any
written objections within 5 days . Failure to file objections is deemed to
constitute consent to the substitution. NOR-CAL filed written objections
contained in Exhibit 4 which were received by the City on June 21 , 1988.
This was within the legal time limit specified in the Code.

AGENDA STATEMENT: Public Hearing: Request to Substitute Subcontractor
Pursuant to Public Contract Code
Page 2 r
State Law requires that if objections are filed, the awarding authority
shall provide at least S working days notice of a hearing. The notice of
the hearing dated June 28, 1988 was received by NOR-CAL on June 29 , 1988
(Exhibit 7 ) .
Nature of Objections
T
Exhibit 4 outlines NOR-CAL' s objections to the substitution. It appears
that their primary concern is with 2 clauses within the agreement presented
by DNI . Exhibit 6 contains excerpts of the typical DNI subcontract
language. Staff has underlined the language which NOR-CAL has objected to
in their letter dated June 20 , 1988. The sections apply to the timing of
payments to the subcontractor and payment for extra work. Exhibit 5 is a
letter from DNI which states that the contract language is the same
agreement they have used for the past 15 years . They have also noted that
the standard agreement has been signed by all other subcontractors on the
Dublin Civic Center project.
In NOR-CAL' s letter, they mention that their bonding company concurred that
the agreement would need to be amended. Mr. Henry K. Nourse III , Vice
President of DNI , indicates that NOR-CAL submitted bonds underwritten by
United Pacific/Reliance Company. Mr. Nourse has noted that the
subcontractors indication that the bonding company will not provide coverage
appears to be inconsistent. The Reliance Company has provided bonds to
other subcontractors working on the Dublin Civic Center project. As noted
above , these subcontractors used the same contract form as presented to
NOR-CAL.
The City Council , or awarding authority, must consent to the substitution in
order for DNI to proceed with having another subcontractor perform the work.
State Law does not provide guidelines for the contract between the prime
contractor and the subcontractor beyond those expressed above. The
applicable sections primarily deal with the fact that the contract must be
for the same scope of work on which the subcontractor submitted a bid. The
law does not address other terms or conditions contained within the
contract. Presumably, as long as the agreement is legal under the laws of
the State it could be entered into. The City Attorney' s Office advised
Staff that it didn' t appear that the sections objected to by NOR-CAL were
unlawful .
Recommendation
As shown above , DNI has presented a contract to the subcontractor. The
agreement is a standard document used by the prime contractor and signed by
other subcontractors on the Dublin Civic Center project . Based on this
information, it would appear that there is prima facie cause to allow DNI to
substitute the subcontractor for millwork.
Staff would recommend that the City Council receive the Staff Report ,
conduct a public hearing, deliberate , and adopt the Resolution.

Dear Mr. Gustafson:
The City of Dublin has received a copy of your letter to Dickman-Nourse,
Inc. dated June 7, 1988. The purpose of this correspondence is to
comply with applicable requirements in the California Public Contract
Code.
Dickman-Nourse, Inc. has requested authorization to substitute another
subcontractor for the work outlined as millwork. The reason for the
request is based on your letter dated June 7, 1988, which indicates your
inability to sign an agreement and proceed with the work.
In accordance with State Law, you have five (5) working days to submit -J
written objections to the substitution. They should be addressed to the
Dublin City Council, c/o Richard C. Ambrose, City Clerk, 6500 Dublin
Boulevard, #205, Dublin, CA 94568. Failure to submit objections shall
constitute your consent to .the substitution and we will proceed with the
project.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any
questions, please direct them to Paul Rankin, Assistant to the City
Manager.

Richard C. Ambrose

RE: Request to Substitute Subcontractor
Project: Dublin Civic Center
General Contractor: Dickman-Nourse, Inc.
Scope: Millwork
Dear Mr. Ambrose:
In response to your letter of June 16, 1988 which indicates a request by
Dickman-Nourse for substitution of Millwork Subcontractor predicated on
our letter of June 7, 1988 which you say "indicates your inability to sign
an agreement and proceed with the work", we offer the following:
We bid the Dublin Civic Center in good faith based on the submitted bid
documents and General Conditions, after which upon query of
Dickman-Nourse we were notified of our successful bid and told a contract
would be forthcoming. Upon receipt of the contract and after our review
process, verbal contact was made with Dickman-Nourse to explain our
problems with several of the contract clauses and the contract price. We
were instructed to make the necessary changes to the contract and return
it signed. We were also instructed to proceed with the shop drawings
because their submittal was necessary as soon as possible.
We made the necessary changes, and returned the signed contract along
with the Payment and Performance Bonds on April 29, 1988. On May 28,
1988 we received reply from Dickman-Nourse (copy attached) which I
responded to verbally with Mr. Henry Nourse III. We came to agreement on
i
f
June 20, 1988
Dublin City Council
Page Two
items 1, 2, 3, & 6, but upon our insistence that neither we nor our
bonding company could accept items 04& 5 we were instructed to wait
and Mr. Nourse would respond the next day. After about a weeks wait,
during which time we received a call from a competitor millwork firm
questioning why we were not accepting the Dublin contract, we were
instructed by Mr. Nourse to return the contract which was so done per our
letter of June 7, 1988 (copy attached).
Your letter of June 16, 1988 was the first knowledge we had that this was
a listed job, but since it is and to answer your letter we object to the
Substitution of our firm as the Millwork subcontractor. We are an old line
millwork firm with 23 years under the present ownership (company
brochure and history attached) with approximately 3+ million a year in
sales and we have never refused a contract before this time.
Our problems with the Dickman-Nourse contract are as follows:
a) Section C, Payment Schedule (last paragraph) reads:
"The obligation of the Contractor to make any payment to Subcontractor
hereunder, or to pay for extra or changed work, or any claim by
Subcontractor for additional compensation is subject to the condition
precedent of payment by Owner to Contractor therfor."
In general terms, this clause is called an 'if clause' and in the opinion
of our attorney, our bonding agent (see attached letter), and our
bonding company 'United Pacific Insurance Company' precludes our
ability or that of the bonding company to pursue action against the
General Contractor for non-performance and raises the 'untested'
question whether we could perfect our lien rights if it became
necessary.
r
•'r
June 20, 1988
Dublin City Council

b) General Subcontract Conditions 6.(b) reads:
"if the parties are unable to agree, Subcontractor shall nevertheless
proceed with work and shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Contractor. The amount of compensation and the time or performance
shall be adjusted only to the extent allowed by Owner."
We have no problem with contractually agreeing to perform extra work
if required, but we have a definite problem with our compensation for
such being totally determined by the user's discretion. In our opinion
this is not in the some wording as the General Conditions. We have no
problem with giving a firm bid for any additional work within 24 hours
of notification of such for review and consideration or modification
of the above contract clause to provide that in case of disagreement
of the 'amount of compensation' it shall be determined by use of an
independent arbitrator.
Again, we object to the Substitution of our firm as the Millwork
Subcontractor.

Dear Rob:
Thank you for letting me review the Dickman Construction contract wording
for Section C, Payment Schedule and General Subcontract Conditions 6.
(b) . After examining these two clauses, I find it difficult to
understand why any subcontractor would enter into a contract with Dickman
without altering the clauses.
The Payment Schedule that states the Owner must pay the Contractor first
prior to the Contractor paying the Subcontractor is unacceptable. In my
opinion, your contract to perform is with the Contractor and not the
Owner and you should expect to receive payment for your work regardless
of the Contractor's relationship with the Owner.
The General Conditions 6.(b) are also unacceptable, in my opinion. If
determination for additional compensation for work performed by the
Subcontractor is left to the Owner, what would you expect the Owner to
say. Once again, your contract is with the Contractor and not the
Owner. Further, if you were asked to do something which is not in the
contract you would be expected to "proceed with work" and then notify the
Contractor. This again doesn't make good "business sense".
In summary, I would not be willing to write a bond for a contract that
contains such restrictive language.
Sincer yours,
Jos H. Weber

DNI Letter # 146
Gentlemen:
The filing by Nor-Cal Millwork, Inc. of a protest to our subcontractor
listing change is inconsistent with their letter of June 7, 1988 requesting
the cancellation of their Agreement; this letter was attached to our June
9th letter.
Nor-Cal was offered the same agreement DNI has utilized for over 15 years
and is the same agreement signed by all other subcontractors on this
project, without modification to the sentence in question.
Furthermore, Nor-Cal states that their bonding company will now rescind
their previously issued bonds because of this clause. This is inconsistent
with the fact that Reliance Insurance Company posted bonds on the same
agreement for D&B Engineering and Rollie R. French for this project.
In light of Nor-Cal's letter of June 7th canceling our commitment to them,
we ask that our request for change be granted.
