The successful Bidder shall be required to execute a Material and Labor Payment Bond and Performance Bond, issued by a corporate surety, in conformance with the requirements set forth in the Contract Documents, each for not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price. Unless otherwise specified in the Special Provisions, if an alternate or alternates are identified by the City to the bidders, award will be based on any combination of Base Bid and Alternates as determined by the City. This process is conducted by the City in a blind selection format, i.e., without knowledge of the identity of any of the Bidders before ranking of all Bidders from lowest to highest has been determined. Bidders are to submit their Bid in two sealed envelopes, both containing all identifying information for the Project, and both of which are then to be included in a third sealed envelope containing all identifying information for the Project but without any identifying information regarding the Bidder. The first envelope shall be marked Envelope 1 and shall contain only an unsigned copy of the bidder's bid form, without any identifying information for the bidder and without any other required bid submissions. The second envelope shall be marked Envelope 2 and shall contain a complete copy of all required bid documents, including a signed copy of the bid form. Any discrepancies in the pricing information in the two sealed envelopes may render the bid nonresponsive. Alternates may be selected for award by the City at its discretion. All awards will be made in the Citys best interest. If the lowest responsive, responsible bidder fails or refuses to execute any Contract for the Project, the City may, in its discretion, award the Contract to the second lowest, responsive responsible bidder. If the second lowest responsible, responsible bidder fails or refuses to execute any Contract for the Project, the City may, in its discretion, award that and all other Contracts for the Project to the third lowest, responsive responsible bidder. Any Bidder to whom any Contract for the Project is awarded who fails to execute the Contract and file acceptable bonds and insurance certificates as required in the Contract Documents will have its Bid Guarantee forfeited.
