Dur1ng the perlod the Job was advertised, staff told contractors
that a C-I0 11cense would be acceptable to perform the work.
Th1S statement was based on the bel1ef that the major monetary
port1on of the contract would be elecrlcal work for which a C-I0
11cense 1S acceptable and the street work would be lnC1dental.
Upon openlng the blds, lt was found that the street work was the
major portlon of the contract. Under the State's Business and
Profess10nal Code, the State Llcensing Board requlres an A
llcense for such street work.
Based on the fact that the City represented to contractors that a
C-I0 llcense would be acceptable, it 15 the Clty Attorney.s
opln10n that all blds be rejected and the project be re-bld.
