Union is not financially committed by this agreement to purchase any minimum amount of services. Question Deadline: Bid questions will be due on or before March 8, 2024, at 4:00 PM local time. The primary purpose of this is to provide participating Bidders with the opportunity to ask questions, in writing, related to the IFB.

All questions and answers may be posted as addenda on the County Website and the North Carolina eVP Website as indicated on the Advertisement Page of this solicitation. Liquidity Damages: [Include this section only if required by the IFB. If not required by IFB, delete this section and insert the word "RESERVED" in its place.] LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Contractor and Union recognize that time is of the essence and that Union will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times specified in Section 4 herein. The parties also recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by Union if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, Union and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), Contractor shall pay Union for each day that expires after the time specified in Section 4 herein for substantial completion until the Work is substantially complete. Owner Rights: The County reserves the right to reject any and/or all bids, including, without limitation, nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced, or conditional bids. The County also reserves the right to waive informalities and request clarification as needed. Union County reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, to waive technicalities and to make such selection deemed in its best interest. Union County, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to supplement, amend, substitute or otherwise modify this IFB at any time, to cancel this IFB with or without the substitution of another IFB, and to issue additional request for information. The County reserves the right to reject any and all bids, the right to waive informalities, and the right to disregard nonconforming or conditional bids or counter bids. It is the intention of Union County to execute a final, binding Contract with the successful Offeror which incorporates terms and conditions no less onerous than those appropriate to the engagement of a licensed contracting firm in connection with a project of this magnitude.
