This project is subject to a Financial Assistance Contract between C-TRAN and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Contract to be let, therefore, is subject to the terms of the Contract between C-TRAN and the DOT. The successful Bidders shall be required to comply with, in addition to all other provisions of the Contract, documents, laws, and regulations regarding Equal Employment Opportunity, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964, Debarred Bidders Rules, and other provisions required by federal regulations. C-TRAN, as a part of our Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, has established a voluntary Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal of 2.42% for all federally funded projects. This is an aspirational goal and therefore, no documentation demonstrating attainment of the goal will be required. No oral interpretations will be made to any Bidder as to the meaning of the Contract Documents. Any clarification desired by a Bidder regarding the meaning or interpretation of the B id or Contract requirements must be requested in written form and received by C-TRAN by 12:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Any questions submitted after the specified time will be addressed at the discretion of C-TRAN. C-TRAN, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to cancel this invitation or reject any and all bids submitted or to waive any minor formalities if the best interests of C-TRAN would be served. The Contract will be awarded to the Bidder submitting the lowest total price meeting C-TRAN specifications. The Bidder shall also be deemed responsive and responsible. If the lowest Bidder is found to be non-responsive or non-responsible, its Bid will be rejected, and the next lowest Bidder will be evaluated for responsiveness and responsibility.
