City of Milwaukie – 11
SECTION 5: CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Contract
Lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be asked to sign a public improvement contract with the City within 30 days of the bid opening. A sample contract is attached as part of these ITB documents, including general conditions for construction, Special Provisions, and technical specifications. City will require specific levels of insurance, a Milwaukie (or Oregon Metro) business license, and a federal tax identification number.
The bidder will deliver the properly executed contract, performance bond, payment bond, retainage bond (if applicable), certification of workers' compensation coverage, required certificates of liability insurance, and any other required documents to the City within ten (10) calendar days after the date on which the contract documents are sent or otherwise conveyed to the contractor. The bidder will return all documents received from the City with original or electronic signatures.
After the City has received and verified the properly executed documents and received approval of contract award from its City Council, the City will execute the contract.
5.2 Contract Negotiations
City reserves the right to negotiate final terms of the contract as the City determines it to be in its best interest. City will begin negotiations once the City has determined the lowest bidder and the notice of intent to award has been issued. If the City cannot come to terms with the lowest bidder, the City will formally terminate negotiations and enter into negotiations with the second lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This process will continue until the City reaches a contract which the City deems appropriate for the work or determines that a new competitive solicitation is necessary.
Additionally, failure of the bidder to execute the contract and provide the required certificates, certifications, and bonds may be cause for cancellation of the award, and may be cause for forfeiture of the bid guaranty under ORS 279C.385. Award may then be made to the next lowest responsible bidder, the project may be re-advertised, or the work may be performed otherwise as the City decides.
5.3 Contract Award
The award of a contract is accomplished by executing a written public improvement contract that incorporates elements of the solicitation, bid, clarifications, addenda, and additions. All such materials constitute the complete contract documents. City Council may be required to authorize the award of contract at a regular session.
5.4 Project Site Restriction
Until the City sends the awarded contractor written notice to proceed with the work, and the contractor has filed the public works bonds required in ORS 279C.830(2), the contractor must not go onto the project site on which the work is to be done, nor move materials, equipment, or workers onto that project site.
Contractor will not automatically be entitled to extra compensation because the commencement of work is delayed by failure of the City to send the contract for execution.
However, if more than 60 days elapse between the date the bid is opened and the date the City sends the contract to be executed, the City will consider granting an adjustment of time for completion of the work to offset any actual delay to contract completion resulting directly from delay in commencement.
5.5 Notice to Proceed
A written notice to proceed will be issued by the City during the pre-construction meeting. Should the City fail to issue the notice to proceed during the pre-construction meeting, the contractor may apply for an adjustment of contract time. City will issue a first notification recording the date the performance of the contract has begun.
