These proposals will be evaluated with the recommended awards subsequently made by the district. The owner shall not open, consider or accept a bid proposal that is received after the date and time specified for bid submission in the advertisement for bids. Bidders are invited to be present at the opening of the bids at the above address, on the above date and time. Each bid shall be accompanied by a sworn and notarized statement disclosing any familial relationship that exists between the owner or any employee of the bidder and any member of the Westwood Heights Schools Board of Education or the Superintendent of the school district. Each bid shall be accompanied by a certification that the bidder is not an Iran-Linked business. Public Act 517 of 2012 (effective December 31, 2012) enacted the "Iran Economic Sanctions Act", which prevents "Iran linked businesses" from bidding on a school district or ISD's request for proposals ("RFP"). This law requires that persons submitting bids certify that they are not an "Iran linked business," which is defined as either: a) A person engaging in investment activities in the energy sector of Iran, including a person who provides oil or liquefied natural gas tankers or products used to construct or maintain pipelines used to transport oil or liquefied natural gas for the energy sector of Iran; or b) A financial institution that extends credit to another person if that person will use the credit to engage in investment activities in the energy sector of Iran. BONDS: A five percent (5%) Bid Bond shall accompany each bid. The successful bidder will be required to provide a Performance Bond and Labor and Material Bonds, and certificates of Liability and Worker's Compensation Insurance. The Westwood Heights Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, to award contracts for individual items as they may appear advantageous to the district and waive any or all formalities. Proposals received without proper signature will not be accepted.
