No Bid will be considered unless accompanied by a guarantee in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the Total Base Bid, which shall be one of the following: (a) a Bid Bond supplied in the enclosed Bid Form written by an admitted surety satisfactory to the District in its sole discretion, (b) a certified or cashier's check made payable to the District. In the event a successful Bidder fails to satisfy all conditions for accepting the award within the stated time limits, the District may declare the Bidder's Bid Guarantee in default. Bidder acknowledges that the amount of actual damages the District would suffer in such event is extremely difficult and impractical to determine at this time by reason of the uncertainties, lapse of time, expense and loss of likely bidders resulting from the probable need to re-advertise and call for new bids. Bidder agrees that if a default occurs, the amount of such Bid Guarantee shall be kept by the District as liquidated damages and agrees that the District may then award the work to any other bidder or may call for new bids. All Bid Guarantees will be held until after an award is made, an Agreement entered into, and required bonds and proof of insurance provided for the Work, at which time they will be returned. The District reserves the right to reject any or all Bid Proposals, to waive any informality, minor technical defect, or irregularity in Bid Proposals, and to accept or reject any items of a Bid Proposal. The District, at its discretion, may reject as incomplete any bid which is in any way conditional, includes exceptions, alterations or omissions, or includes reservations to the terms of the Bid Proposal form, drawings, specifications, or other contract documents. The District reserves the right to reject any and all bids. District will reject bids from any contractor for whom there is documented evidence of project schedule delays and cost overruns and / or documented inability to meet project performance requirements.
