Main, North Logan, UT 84341. All BIDS must be made on the required BID form. Two bid options are included; BIDDER must fill in both options. All blank spaces for BID prices must be filled in, in ink or typewritten, and the BID form must be fully completed and executed when submitted. Only one copy of the BID form is required. The OWNER may waive any informalities or minor defects or reject any and all BIDS. Any BID may be withdrawn prior to the scheduled time for the opening of BIDS or authorized postponement thereof. Any BID received after the time and date specified shall not be considered. No BIDDER may withdraw a BID within 60 days after the date of the BID opening. Should there be reasons why the contract cannot be awarded within the specified period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the OWNER and the BIDDER. BIDDERS must satisfy themselves of the accuracy of the estimated quantities in the BID Schedule by examination of the site and a review of the drawings and specifications including ADDENDA. All bids will be checked by the ENGINEER for errors. If errors are made, unit prices shall govern and corrections will be made according to the unit price or lump sum amounts and totals will be revised to reflect the corrections. The OWNER shall provide to BIDDERS prior to BIDDING, all information which is pertinent to, and delineates and describes, the land owned and rights-of-way acquired or to be acquired. This WORK will be constructed by award of a competitive, sealed bid contract awarded to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder. Compensation to the CONTRACTOR will be made through progressive monthly payments in accordance with the General Conditions of these CONTRACT DOCUMENTS at the units and prices indicated in the BID Schedule. When construction under this contract takes place on property owned or administered by agencies or organizations other than the OWNER, all construction shall be done in accordance with the special requirements of that entity which are contained or referenced in these CONTRACT DOCUMENTS When requirements published by such entities are contained in, or referenced by, these CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, they shall be carefully complied with and the CONTRACTOR shall include sufficient compensation to cover the WORK required therein. Information will be provided on the DRAWINGS and in these documents to indicate areas of WORK which fall on property owned or administered by agencies or organizations other than the OWNER. The CONTRACT DOCUMENTS contain the provisions required for the construction of the PROJECT. Information obtained from an officer, agent, or employee of the OWNER or any other person shall not affect the risks or obligations assumed by the CONTRACTOR or relieve him from fulfilling any of the conditions of the contract. Each BID must be accompanied by a BID BOND payable to the OWNER for five percent of the total amount of the BID. As soon as the BID prices have been compared, the OWNER will return the BONDS of all except the three lowest responsible, responsive BIDDERS. When the Agreement is executed, the bonds of the two remaining unsuccessful BIDDERS will be returned. The BID BOND of the successful BIDDER will be retained until the PAYMENT BOND and PERFORMANCE BOND have been executed and approved, after which it will be returned. A certified check may be used in lieu of a BID BOND. A PERFORMANCE BOND and a PAYMENT BOND, each in the amount of 100 percent of the CONTRACT PRICE, with a corporate surety approved by the OWNER, will be required for the faithful performance of the contract. Attorneys-in-fact who sign BID BONDS or PAYMENT BONDS and PERFORMANCE BONDS must file with each BOND a certified and effective dated copy of their power of attorney. The party to whom the contract is awarded will be required to execute the Agreement and obtain the PERFORMANCE BOND and PAYMENT BOND, when required, within ten (10) calendar days from the date when the NOTICE OF AWARD is delivered to the BIDDER. The NOTICE OF AWARD shall be accompanied by the necessary Agreement and BOND forms. In case of failure of the BIDDER to execute the Agreement, the OWNER may, at their option, consider the BIDDER in default, in which case the BID BOND accompanying the proposal shall become the property of the OWNER. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the Agreement signed properly by the party to whom the contract was awarded, and accompanied by acceptable PERFORMANCE and PAYMENT BONDS, when required, the OWNER shall sign the Agreement and return to the BIDDER an executed duplicate of the Agreement. Should the OWNER not execute the Agreement within such period, the BIDDER may by WRITTEN NOTICE withdraw their signed Agreement. Such notice of withdrawal shall be effective upon receipt of the notice by the OWNER. The NOTICE TO PROCEED shall be issued within ten (10) days of the execution of the Agreement by the OWNER. Should there be reasons why the NOTICE TO PROCEED cannot be issued within such period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If the NOTICE TO PROCEED has not been issued within the ten (10) day period or within the period mutually agreed upon, the CONTRACTOR may terminate the Agreement without further liability on the part of either party. The OWNER may make such investigations as deemed necessary to determine the ability of the BIDDER to perform the WORK and the BIDDER shall furnish to the OWNER all such information and data for this purpose as the OWNER may request. The OWNER reserves the right to reject any BID if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such BIDDER fails to satisfy the OWNER that such BIDDER is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the Agreement and to complete the WORK contemplated therein. A conditional or qualified BID will not be accepted. Award will be made to the lowest responsible, responsive BIDDER. However, the OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all of the bids. BIDDER and OWNER recognize that time is of the essence in this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the WORK is not completed within the time period specified in the Bid. OWNER and BIDDER agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) BIDDER shall pay OWNER the specified amount for each day that expires after the specified time for substantial completion until the WORK is substantially complete. All applicable laws, ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over construction of the PROJECT shall apply to the contract throughout. Each BIDDER is responsible for inspecting the site and for reading and being thoroughly familiar with the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The failure or omission of any BIDDER to do any of the foregoing shall in no way relieve any BIDDER from any obligation in respect to his BID. The low BIDDER shall supply the names and addresses of major material SUPPLIERS and SUBCONTRACTORS when requested to do so by the OWNER QA due date November 1st at Noon.
