DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Furnish all labor, materials, equipment (not less than 3 power sweepers), supplies and supervision, necessary to sweep all curb faces on all city streets, once in the spring season 2024 and (Add Alternate) once in the fall season during 2024 and to haul and dispose of all materials collected in an approved manner as described in the specifications. The bid must be accompanied by a Bid Guaranty. The Bid Guaranty must meet all requirements of Section 153.54 of the ORC and the Instructions to Bidders. All work shall be carried out in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations that apply to the work. Any project specification item in conflict with a federal, state, or local law, rule or regulation, shall be void. All bidders must comply with the provisions of Chapter 167 of the Elyria Codified Ordinances as amended. No contract will be awarded unless an acceptable Affirmative Action Plan is reviewed by the EEO Office, approved and incorporated into the contract. Each Bidder must complete and sign the Elyria Equal Opportunity Clause, which is included with the specifications. No proposal will be considered unless it is made on the blanks furnished by the City. No Bidder shall take any exception to any requirement of the specifications. Each proposal must contain the full name of the party or parties submitting the proposal and all persons interested therein. Each Bidder may submit evidence of its experiences on projects of similar size and complexity. Any BID/CONTRACT BOND submitted shall be for the full amount of the base bid plus the highest combination of additive alternates, if any. The form of the BID/CONTRACT BOND shall be of substantially the same form as provided in Section 153.571 of the Ohio Revised Code and it shall serve as both a bid bond and a contract bond. If stated, the amount of the BID/CONTRACT BOND shall be specified in figures. Specifying the amount of the bond as a percentage, or one hundred percent (100%) is not acceptable. The City and the Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in this agreement, and that the City will suffer financial loss (including but not limited to incidental and consequential damages) if the Work is not carried out within the time specified in Article 3 herein. Both the City and the Contractor recognize the impossibility of calculating the actual loss suffered by the City if the Work is not substantially completed within the specified time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, the City and the Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) the Contractor shall pay the City the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each calendar day that expires after the time specified in Article 3 herein for completing the work assigned, unless the City grants a time extension for good reason not under the control of the Contractor. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor agrees to pay for the cost of any additional inspection services that the City requires as a result of delays. Any BID BOND submitted shall be for not less than ten percent (10%) of the base bid plus the highest combination of additive alternates, if any. The amount may be stated as either figures or as a percentage. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, including without limitation the rights to reject any or all nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced or conditional bids and to reject the bid of any Bidder if the City believes that it would not be in the best interest of the City to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the bid is not responsive or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by the City.
