Additionally, the Joint Venture entity itself must meet all of the following conditions: At the time the Level I Prequalification Questionnaire is submitted, the Joint Venture entity itself must hold a valid, current California B General Building Contractor's License. It is not sufficient that some or all of the individual members of the Joint Venture entity hold a California General Building Contractor's License. The Joint Venture entity itself must be licensed to be eligible for Level I prequalification.

At the time the Level I Prequalification Questionnaire is submitted, the Joint Venture entity must demonstrate that each member of the Joint Venture produced annual Business UCSD 10/14/03 Page 6 of 8 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR

Construction Revenue of totaling $10,000,000 for each and every one of the last five consecutive years. Submission of an incomplete and/or unclear Level I Prequalification Questionnaire is also likely to result in the determination of the prospective CM/Contractor as NON-PREQUALIFIED for this project. After the deadline for receipt of the Level I Prequalification Questionnaires, the University will begin the review of all statements received. The University reserves the right to request, receive and evaluate supplemental information after the deadline date at its sole determination. All CM/Contractors that have submitted a Level I Prequalification Questionnaire will be notified in writing of either successfully or not successfully achieving Level I prequalification status. The decision of the University is final and not appealable within the University of California system. The University reserves the right to reject any or all responses to Prequalification Questionnaires and to waive irregularities in any response received. Level II Prequalification The above criteria has been established to determine Level I prequalification status for prospective CM/Contractors. Firms which successfully achieve Level I status will be advanced to Level II analysis. Level II Interviews This second phase of prequalification will involve submission of specific Level II submittal requirements and an interview with the principals of the CM/Contractor, and the proposed Project Team. By submittal of the Level I prequalification questionnaire, the prospective CM/Contractor commits to providing the staff named in that submittal to the project. At the time of bid, the CM/Contractor will be required to confirm the assignment of staff to the project. Substitution of project staff named in the Level I Prequalification Questionnaire may result in the bid being considered non-responsive. Only CM/Contractors which successfully achieve Level I AND Level II prequalification status will be considered fully-prequalified for successful and timely performance of the work required by this project. The contract, if awarded, will be issued to the fully-prequalified CM/Contractor submitting the lowest responsive bid for this project. The University reserves the right to terminate the Agreement for professional services of the CM/Contractor at completion of Phase 1 of the contract, Pre-Construction Services. Should the University elect to do so, the University reserves the right to publicly bid the project for a traditional lump sum contract. UCSD 10/14/03 Page 7 of 8 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
