as to the character, quantity, and quality of work to be performed and materials, labor, supervision, equipment and
appurtenances necessary to perform the work as specified by the Contract Documents. The failure or neglect of
the Bidder to examine the Contract Documents shall in no way relieve him from any obligations with respect to

Santa Clara County Office of Education may refuse to consider bids from participants in such collusion. No
person, firm, or corporation under the same or different name, shall make, file, or be interested in more than one

sub-Bid to a bidder, or who has quoted prices on materials to a bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting
a sub-Bid or quoting prices to other bidders. Reasonable ground for believing that any bidder is interested in more

there is reason to believe that collusion exists among the bidders, the Santa Clara County Office of Education may
refuse to consider Bids from participants in such collusion. Bidders shall submit as part of their Bid documents
the completed Non-Collusion Affidavit provided herein.

be equivalent in fair market value to the amount to be withheld as performance retention. The securities shall be
held in accordance with the provisions of Public Contract Code Section 22300, and the implementing agreement.
The Contractor is obligated to ensure that such securities deposited are sufficient to maintain, in total fair market
value, an amount equal to the cash amount of the sums to be withheld under the contract. If the Santa Clara
County Office of Education Finance Director, or the appropriate escrow agent, gives written notice to the
Contractor indicating that the fair market value of the securities has dropped below the dollar amount of monies to
be withheld by the Santa Clara County Office of Education to ensure performance, Contractor shall within five
days of the date of such notice post all such securities held by the Santa Clara County Office of Education, or in
escrow, equivalent to the amount of money to be withheld by the Santa Clara County Office of Education under
the contract. Any Contractor wishing to exercise this option shall give notice in writing to the Santa Clara County

RCS20 SILICONIZED ACRYLIC SEALANT
1. Basic Uses: Sealant is designed to provide water and weather protection by airtight seal
when used on interior and exterior surfaces. Sealant can be used for caulking window and
door frames, vinyl, steel, aluminum, plywood siding, drywall, baseboards, bathroom and
kitchen fixtures, primed fiber cement siding, and conventional stucco.
a. Sealant is useful as an acoustical sealant in construction of walls, windows, doors,
ceilings, and floors to reduce sound transmission in wall partitions to maintain
specified STC and OITC values.
2. Limitations:
a. Do not use for structural repairs.
b. Not recommended for below grade or water immersion applications.
c. Not to be used in applications where the surrounding materials will exceed sustained
temperatures of 180 degrees F.
d. Do not expose to water or rain for at least 24 hours after application.
e. Application is recommended when temperature of air and surface is 50 degrees F or
above for a 24 hour period.
f. Do not apply if relative humidity is above 90%.
g. Do not freeze.
3. Packaging & Sizes: Sealant is available in 10.1 fl. oz. plastic caulking cartridges and 5gallon plastic pails.

INSTALLING GYPSUM BOARD
A.
General:

with manufacturer’s recommended methods for installation.
2. Refer to Drawings for Schedule for all gypsum board installation required for project.
B.
Cutting:
1. When cutting gypsum panels is required, cut by scoring and breaking or by sawing,
working from the face side.
2. When cutting by scoring, cut through the face paper and then snap the panel back away
from the cut face; then break the back paper by snapping the gypsum panel in the reverse
direction or by cutting the back paper.
3. Smooth all cut ends and edges of panels as necessary to obtain a smooth joint.
4. For cut-outs on panels or pipes, fixtures, and other small openings, make holes and cutouts by sawing or by such other method as will not fracture the core or tear the covering,
and with such accuracy that plates, escutcheons, or trim will cover the edges.
5. The use of “score-and-knockout” method will not be permitted.
C.
Fastening:
1. Properly space all fasteners in careful accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and code requirements, with heads driven slightly below the surface for
proper cementing but without breaking the paper cover.
2. Loosely butt all joints to be taped; firmly butt all joints to be left exposed.

PREPARATION
A.
Subfloors:
1. Verify that substrate is smooth, level, at required finish elevation, and without more than
1/8" in 10’-0 variation from level or slopes shown on Drawings.
2. Broom clean or vacuum surfaces to be covered, and inspect subfloor. Start of flooring
installation indicates acceptance of subfloor conditions and full responsibility for
completed work.
3. Subfloor must be cleaned of all paint, varnish, grease, or wax and all uneven places must
be leveled by chipping or filing.
a. All expansion joints, grooves, cracks, potholes, etc. must be filled using
manufacturer’s specified underlayment mixture.
b. Subfloor must be uniformly smooth, level, and solid before accepted as satisfactory
to receive installation of vinyl flooring.
4. Perform moisture tests on concrete slabs to determine that concrete surfaces are
sufficiently cured and dry as well as to ascertain presence of curing compounds, and
ready to receive flooring.

within finished floor areas.
7. Maintain overall continuity of color and pattern with pieces of flooring installed in these
covers. Tightly cement edges to perimeter of floor around covers and to covers.
8. Tightly cement flooring to subbase without open cracks, voids, raising and puckering at
joints, telegraphing or adhesive spreader marks, or other surface imperfections. Hand roll
flooring at perimeter of each covered area to assure adhesion.
9. Follow resilient flooring Manufacturer’s instructions for complete installation.
B.
Vinyl Composition Tile:
1. Place tiles with adhesive cement in strict compliance with flooring Manufacturer’s
recommendations and in pattern provided by the Architect.

inside corners. Tightly bond base to backing throughout length of each piece, with
continuous contact at horizontal and vertical surfaces.
2. On masonry surfaces, or other similar irregular surfaces, fill voids along top edge of
resilient wall base with Manufacturer’s recommended adhesive filler material.
3. Place resilient edge strips tightly butted to flooring and secure with adhesive. Install
edging strips at edges of flooring which would otherwise be exposed.
4. Apply butt type metal edge strips where shown on drawings, and prior to resilient
flooring. Secure units to substrate with countersunk stainless steel anchors, complying
with Manufacturer’s recommendations.
