The City will post the results of the bid opening online once bids have been reviewed. The bid results will be available for public view online within 24 hours. Contract Award and Execution After the proposals are opened and verified, they will be compared on the basis of the summation of the products of the approximate quantities shown in the proposal by the total (sum of labor and material) price. In the event of a discrepancy between the total (sum of labor and material) price and the extensions, the total (sum of labor and material) price shall govern. The Owner shall also determine any alternate Items as stipulated in the Bid Proposal to be performed and they will be included in above summation. The right is reserved to reject any or all proposals, to waive technicalities or to advertise for new proposals, if in the judgment of the Owner its best interests will be promoted thereby. The award of the work, if it is awarded, will be made as soon as is reasonably possible after the opening of the Bids to the lowest and best responsible Bidder whose proposal complies with all the requirements prescribed. In no case will an award be made until all necessary investigations are made as to the responsi-bility of the Bidder to whom it is proposed to award the con-tract. No bid will be accepted if it exceeds the cost estimate by more than 10%, except as may be specifically authorized by rule established by the City Manager. The Owner reserves the right to rescind the award of the work at any time before the execution of the Contract by all parties without incurring any liability. Therefore, if the Contractor changes its position, economically or otherwise, after receiving a verbal or written notice of award and in reliance upon the Owner executing the Contract, the Contractor agrees to do so solely at its own risk and the Owner will not incur any liability from the Contractor's change of position. The lowest and best responsible Bidder to whom the work is awarded will be required to execute the Contract and to furnish the required Contract Bond and Certificates of Insurance within 10 calendar days from the date when Notice of Award is communicated in writing or orally to the Bidder. In case of failure of the Bidder to execute the Con-tract, the Owner may, at its option, consider the Bidder in default, and the Bidder will be subject to liability as set forth in Section 153.54 of the Ohio Revised Code. The award may then be made to the next lowest and best responsible Bidder, or the work may be readvertised as the Owner may decide. A Contract Bond in the amount of 100% of the Contract price, with a corporate Surety approved by the Owner, will be required for the faithful performance of the Contract. The Contract Bond form included herein shall be used. The Contract Bond furnished by the Contractor shall remain in effect until the expiration of the one year guarantee period as assurance of the guarantee herein stipulated. All Bid Guaranty and Contract Bonds shall be signed by an authorized agent of an acceptable Surety Bonding Company and by the Bidder. Surety Bonding Company bonds shall be supported by credentials showing the power of attorney of the agent, the Certificate showing the legal rights of the Bonding Company to do business in the State of Ohio and a financial statement of the surety. These supporting credentials need only be furnished by the successful Bidder upon the award of the work. The lowest and best responsible Bidder will further be required to furnish the Owner with a complete breakdown of the lump sum Bid items to the satisfaction of the City Engineer before signing the Contract. The lump sum breakdown shall be in sufficient detail to provide a check of claims for partial payment requests. The Notice to Proceed shall be communicated in writing or orally to the Contractor within 10 days of the execution of the Contract 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.
