Funding of all Contract items is subject to the Board of Commissioners approval of the Districts budget for all years under this Contract. The Contract is divided, for purposes of bidding, into two Groups. Bidders may submit a bid for either or both Groups as set forth in the Proposal. When submitting a proposal, the Bidder must bid on every Item in that Group or the bid will be considered non-responsive. For any Group not bid, the Bidder shall insert NO BID in the appropriate place. The District reserves the right to issue a Purchase Order or Purchase Orders to any Bidder or Bidders for either or both Groups as it may deem to be in the best interest of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District to do so. Each Proposal must be accompanied by a bid deposit in the form of a bid bond. Please see page P-4 in the Contract Documents for additional information. Further, the District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Bidder to successfully download any and all Contract documents, including but not limited to specifications, proposal forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological computer and/or software system failure or breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful downloading of any and all District Contract documents by the Bidder, whether caused by the District or other parties, directly or indirectly. Any Proposal which indicates multiple or alternate bids will be deemed non-responsive and will be rejected by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management. Proposals shall conform to all the terms and conditions of the Bidding Requirements attached hereto. The District will only respond to questions received online up to ONE WEEK prior to the bid opening date of the bidding documents. The District will not respond to questions received after this date. The District does not guarantee the timeliness of responses provided online, nor does the District guarantee that such responses will be provided in adequate time to affect the submission of bids. The District shall provide responses online ONLY if the responses do not interpret or otherwise change the bidding documents. The District responses online are NOT official responses and, therefore, are not binding to the bidding documents. Any official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will be made only by addenda duly issued to all plan holders on record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management. Failure on the part of the prospective Bidder to receive a written interpretation prior to the time of the opening of bids will not be grounds for withdrawal of proposal.

Bidders shall take special note of the stipulations on page G-4, under Interpretation of Contract Documents, in regards to questions on this Contract. All Contracts for the Construction of Public Works are subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS 130/1-12).
