GENERAL CONDITIONS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND INFORMATION FOR BIDDER The copy of the Legal Notice, General Conditions, Instructions and Information for Bidders, Special Conditions, Specification and Plans applying are a part of this construction bid. 1) Special Conditions: Special conditions included in the Bid Document shall take precedence over any provisions stipulated hereunder. 2) Applicable Laws: The Revised Code of the State of Ohio, the Charter of the City of Cincinnati, and all City ordinances, insofar as they apply to the laws of competitive bidding, contracts and purchases are made a part hereof. All laws of the United States of America, the State of Ohio, and the City of Cincinnati applicable to the products or services covered herein, are made a part hereof. 3) Workers' Compensation: Insofar as Workers' Compensation Act is concerned, the bidder or contractor agrees to furnish an official certificate or receipt of the Industrial Commission of Ohio, showing that he has paid into the State Insurance fund the necessary premiums, whenever such certificates are required in the Bid Document. 4) Infringements and Indemnification: The Contractor shall indemnify, defend and save the City, its agents, and employees harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, settlements, costs, charges, professional fees, or other expenses or liabilities of every kind and character arising out of or relating to any and all claims, liens, demands, obligations, actions, proceedings, or causes of action of every kind and character in connection with or arising directly or indirectly out of errors or omissions or negligent acts by the Contractor including by the Contractor's employees and agents in the performance of this Agreement. To this extent, the bidder or contractor agrees to furnish adequate Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance, the amount of which will be determined by the City whenever such insurance is deemed necessary. When so required, the types and amounts of insurance to be provided are set forth in the Bid Document. 5) Default Provisions: In case of default by the bidder or contractor, the City of Cincinnati may procure the articles or services from other sources and hold the bidder or contractor responsible for any excess costs occasioned thereby. 6) Pricing: Prices should be stated in units of quantity specified in the Bid Document. In case of discrepancy in computing the amount of the bid, the unit prices quoted will govern. A bid of "0" or no entry will be interpreted by the City to mean "No Charge" for that item. 7) Delivery: Quotations should include all charges for delivery, packing, crating, containers, etc. Unless otherwise stated by the bidder, prices quoted will be considered as being based on delivery to the destination designated in the Bid Document and to include all delivery and packing charges. 8) Specifications: Unless otherwise stated by the bidder, the proposal will be considered as being in strict accordance with the specifications outlined in the Bid Document. References to a particular trade name, manufacturer's catalog or model number are made for descriptive purposes to guide the bidder in interpreting the requirements of the City. They should not be construed as excluding proposals on other types of materials, equipment, and supplies. However, the bidder, if awarded a contract, will be required to furnish the particular item referred to in the specifications or description unless a departure or substitution is clearly noted and described in the proposal and approved by the City. 9) Samples: Samples, when requested, must be furnished free of expense to the City and if not destroyed, will upon request be returned at the bidder's expense. 10) Cash Discounts: Time, in connection with cash discounts offered, will be computed from date of delivery and acceptance at final destination or from date properly executed invoice is received, if the latter date is later than the date of delivery and acceptance. Cash discount offered for payment in fewer than twenty-five (25) calendar days cannot be considered. If no cash discount is indicated in the space provided in the Bid document the terms will be considered as Net-thirty (30) days. 11) Taxes: State and local governments no longer need to be certified under the Internal Revenue Code but are automatically exempt from excise tax, therefore, the City's Certificate of Registry Number is no longer needed. The Department of Procurement will continue to issue the exemption certificates upon request. 12) Bid Informalities and Rejection: The City reserves the right to waive informalities not inconsistent with law or to reject any or all bids. 13) Award: Unless otherwise specified in the Bid Document, the City reserves the right to accept any item in the bid.

Award provisions are set forth in the Bid Document. 14).

The City will determine the sufficiency of the surety. The bid bond should be executed by an authorized surety, guaranty, or trust company. If corporate surety is given, the surety or guaranty company should indicate in the bond the state in which it is incorporated.

The City will determine the sufficiency of the surety. 17) Payments: Partial payments may be made upon presentation of a properly executed invoice unless otherwise stated in the Bid Document.
