The bid bond must be submitted on the AIA document A310 – 2010 Bid Bond Form, or equivalent, to be accepted unless only one bid is received by DFCM, or the failure to comply with the bid bond requirements is determined by the Director of DFCM to be immaterial based on the following:

1. the bid bond is submitted on a form other than the AIA Document A310 – 2010 Bid Bond form, or equivalent, and the bid bond meets all other requirements including being issued by a surety firm authorized to do business in the State of Utah and be listed in the U.S. Department of the Treasury Circular 570, Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Securities on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsuring Companies for an amount not less than the amount of the bond to be issued.

4. Termination and Debarment By submitting a bid, the Contractor certifies that neither it nor its principals, including project nor site managers, have been, or are under consideration for, debarment or suspension, or any action that would exclude such from participation in a construction Contract by any governmental department or agency. If the Contractor cannot certify this statement, provide a detailed written explanation to dfcmcontracts@utah.gov by the time and date specified as the bid deadline on the Solicitation Schedule. DFCM reserves the right to reject the Contractor’s explanation and disqualify them from the selection process.

5. Listing of Subcontractors All Contractors are required to submit their DFCM Subcontractors List Form to dfcmcontracts@utah.gov by the time and date specified on the Solicitation Schedule. The DFCM Subcontractors List Form & Instructions can be found on the DFCM website – Construction Management - Standard Documents page and is also posted in U3P.

If the DFCM Subcontractors List Form is not provided by the time and date specified on the Solicitation Schedule, the bid is nonresponsive, and the Contractor may be disqualified from the selection process.

DFCM retains the right to audit or take other steps necessary to confirm compliance with requirements for the listing and changing of subcontractors. Any Contractor who is found incompliant with these requirements is subject to a debarment hearing and may be debarred from consideration for award of DFCM contracts for a period not to exceed three years.

6. Withdrawal of Bids Bids may be withdrawn on written request received from bidder prior to the time fixed for opening. Negligence on the part of the bidder in preparing the bid confers no right for the withdrawal of the bid after it has been opened.
