The Owner will make formal acceptance of the Proposal by a notice in writing signed by the Chairman of the Tinicum Township, Delaware County, and mailed to or delivered at the Office designated in the Proposal. No other act of the Owner, its officers, agents, or employees shall constitute the acceptance of a Proposal. The acceptance of the Proposal shall effect an agreement between the Owner and the successful bidder, of which time shall be of the essence, for the execution of the Form of Contract and an analysis of his bid prices, and for liquidated damages, all as hereinafter provided. It shall not effect a

Contract for the doing of the things provided in the Form of Contract, but the rights and obligations therein provided shall become effective and binding upon the parties only with its formal execution. Neither the acceptance of his Proposal nor the formal execution of the

Form of Contract shall constitute an approval of the bidder's proposed plan, equipment, method and program of work or sureties.

4. EXECUTION OF FORM OF CONTRACT

Within ten (10) days, Sundays and Holidays excepted, after the acceptance of his Proposal, the Township shall present or mail to the successful bidder in quadruplicate, the Form of

Contract bound herewith, with the blanks filled out in accordance with his Proposal. Within ten (10) days, Sundays and Holidays excepted thereafter, the successful bidder shall deliver all copies to the Secretary of the Tinicum Township Board of Commissioners duly executed by him as Contractor. Upon their receipt and upon receipt of satisfactory security for the bidder’s faithful performance, as hereinafter provided, the Township shall execute all copies and shall return one to the successful bidder.

5. SECURITY FOR FAITHFUL PERFORMANCE

When he returns the copies of the Form of Contract, the successful bidder shall also deliver to the Township, security for his faithful performance in an amount not less than the estimated total contract price contained in the Form of Contract annexed to his Proposal.

The Contractor shall furnish bonds as such security; they shall be in the form bound herewith entitled "Contractor's Performance Bond and Labor and Materialmen's Bond” and shall be duly executed by the successful bidder as principal, and by the signers of the Agreement of Proposed Surety as sureties. If, however the Township has theretofore given notice to him that Township is dissatisfied with any surety proposed, he shall, within three (3) days thereafter, deliver to the Township in lieu thereof, other bonds in the same form and penal sum, similarly executed, except that the sureties thereon shall be such as are satisfactory to the Township.

6. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

In as much as the damages to the Township from a breach by the successful bidder of the

Agreement created by the acceptance of his Proposal will include among others, those resulting from interference with its predetermined progress for the construction of public improvements, such as interest upon funds raised for the construction thereof, engineering, and other items whose accurate amount will be difficult or impossible to compute, such damages shall be liquidated in the sum of the following amounts:

200-2

6. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (CONTINUED)

(a) The excess, if any, of the total contract price shown in the Form of Contract annexed to the Proposal finally accepted, over that in the one annexed of the

Proposal of the original successful bidder.

(b) The expense of such new advertisement of the Contract, if any, as may be deemed by the Township.

(c) The sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each and every day, including

Sundays and Holidays, that the Township shall be delayed in entering into the

Contract for the performance of the work by reason of such failure of the original successful bidder or once the contract has been entered into for the execution of required work beyond the allotted time contained in the form of proposal.

In the recovery of the damages above specified, the Township may proceed against the sum represented by the certified check deposited with it, or upon the Agreement of the Proposed

Surety, or take such other action as it may be advised.

7. RETURN OF CERTIFIED CHECKS

Within ten (10) days after the opening of the Proposals, the Township will return all certified checks deposited by bidders, except those deposited by the three (3) lowest bidders to be selected by the Township which will be returned within seven (7) days after successful bidder selection. The return of a Bidder's check shall not, however, be deemed to be a rejection of his proposal.

8. RIGHT TO ACCEPT AND REJECT PROPOSALS

The Township reserves the unqualified right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to reject any or all Proposals and to waive any informalities therein. The Township also reserves the right to omit any item or items from the bid in formulating the final bid package amount to be awarded for budgetary reasons or any other reason deemed necessary in the best interest of the Township. The items making up the amount of the Contact shall be the basis for determining the lowest responsible bidder. The award if any, will be made to the lowest responsible bidder on the basis of the total of the sum of all items making up that particular contract. In the event that a successful bidder defaults upon the agreement created by the acceptance of his Proposal, the Township reserves the option to accept the Proposal of the next lowest bidder within eighteen (18) days from such default, in which case, such acceptance shall have the same effect as to such bidder as though he were the originally successful bidder.

Each bidder must inform himself fully of the conditions relating to construction and labor under which the work is now or will be performed. In so far as possible, the Contractor, in the carrying out of his work, must employ such methods or means as will not cause any interruption of or interference with the work of any other Contractor.

200-3

8. RIGHT TO ACCEPT AND REJECT PROPOSALS (Continued)

Bids will be compared on the basis of the prices bid for the Items in the Schedule of Items and Prices. No bid will be accepted which does not contain a price for each item.

Proposals, which contain any unbalanced bid items, or which are conditioned or obscure, or which contain additions not called for, erasures, omissions, qualifying letters, alterations or irregularities of any kind, may be rejected.

9. QUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS

Bidders shall be experienced in the kind of work required to be performed, have the necessary equipment therefore, and sufficient capital to properly execute the work within the time allowed. Therefore, Bids received from bidders who have previously failed to complete contracts within the time required thereof, or who have previously performed similar work in an unsatisfactory manner, or who do not have the required equipment or capital to properly execute the work, may be rejected. The bidders must furnish a statement showing funds immediately available for the execution of the work upon which the bidder is bidding, also, a statement regarding other work of a similar character performed by the bidder. The bidder must provide at least three references along with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of Township, Engineers and Inspectors of Projects in which they have faithfully completed of similar construction and size.

10. EQUIPMENT

The Bidders must use the equipment specified for the work and approvals must be secured for any deviations therefrom before submitting proposals. The bidders must also list the names and addresses of principal subcontractors they intend to use in the work. Before the award of a Contract, the successful bidder shall furnish a statement giving the name, location and sources of supply of the various equipment that will be used in the work.

11. EXAMINATION OF SITE

Each bidder shall and is hereby directed to inspect the entire site of the proposed work and judge for himself/herself as to all the circumstances affecting the cost and progress of the work and shall assume all patent and latent risks in connection therewith.

12. CONDITIONS OF WORK

Each bidder must inform himself/herself fully to the conditions relating to the construction of the project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not relieve a successful bidder of his/her obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions of his/her contract. Insofar as possible, the contractor in carrying out the work, must employ such methods or means as will not cause any interruption of or interference with the work of any other contractor.

200-4

13. OBLIGATION OF BIDDER

At the time of the opening of bids each bidder will be presumed to have inspected the site and to have read and to be thoroughly familiar with the plans and contract documents (including all addenda). The failure or omission of any bidder to examine any form, instrument or document shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect of his/her bid.

The Bidder understands that the due to the scale of the drawings and the nature of the proposed work it is not possible to show every detail, part or piece, connection, accessory, fastener, sub-assembly and other appurtenances that maybe required. The Bidders shall carefully investigate all conditions and details that may affect the work and include all materials and other appurtenances. The cost of all materials and other appurtenances shall be considered incidental and as such included in part of the overall bid price.

All Construction shall be in accordance with all Local and State Codes that may be applicable, where conflicts occur between the specifications and the codes, the codes shall prevail. All such conflicts shall be taken into account in the preparation of the bid. It is the responsibility of each bidder to notify the Engineer of such conflicts prior to the bid.

14. ADDENDA AND INTERPRETATIONS

No official interpretation of the meaning of the plans, specifications or other pre-bid documents will be made to any Bidder orally. Every request for such interpretation or request to use alternate products or materials shall be submitted in writing via the

“Questions” feature within PennBID for review by the Tinicum Township Engineer, and to be given consideration, must be received at least seven (7) days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. Any and all such interpretations and any supplemental instructions will be in the form of written addenda to the specifications which, if issued, will be distributed to all prospective Bidders via PennBID, not later than three (3) days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. Failure of any bidder to receive any such addendum or interpretation shall not relieve such bidder from any obligation under his/her bid as submitted. All addenda so issued shall become part of the contract documents.

15. SUBCONTRACTORS

If the Bidder determines it will be necessary to employ Subcontractors or Materialmen in order to perform the work, then the Bidder must submit with his bid a list of all such Subcontractors and Materialmen as well as identification of the portion of the work to be done by each

Subcontractor. Each list shall be accompanied by a Form of Statement of Bidder’s

Qualifications for each Subcontractor and Materialman listed. The Bidder must make every reasonable effort to submit the Form of Statement of Bidder’s Qualifications for each

Subcontractor at the time of bid. If the Subcontractor’s Financial Statement information is not with the low bid, then the apparent low bidder will have 48 hours to submit the Financial

Statement information or risk disqualification.

200-5

15. SUBCONTRACTORS (Continued)

If the Township of Tinicum, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed

Subcontractor, the Township of Tinicum before giving the Notice of Award may request the apparent Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in Bid price.

If the apparent Successful Bidder declines to make such substitution, the Contract shall not be awarded to such Bidder, but his declining to make any such substitution will not constitute grounds for sacrificing his Bid security. Any Subcontractor or Materialman so listed and to whom the Township of Tinicum does not make written objection prior to the giving of the

Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to the Township of Tinicum.

After the Notice of Award, the Contractor may not subcontract any other portions of the work not previously identified to be performed by a Subcontractor without first providing written notification to the Township of Tinicum and receiving the Township’s written consent to such use of a Contractor.

If a Subcontractor is to be used, then either the Contractor or the Subcontractor must first provide a Certificate of Insurance for the Subcontractor with the same coverage and terms and conditions as is required to be provided by the Contractor for its own operations. The Contractor may comply with this requirement by adding the Subcontractor as an additional insured to the

Contractor’s Certificate of Insurance.

Any delays created by the failure to identify the use of a Subcontractor prior to the Notice of

Award and/or failure to provide the required Form of Statement of Bidder’s Qualifications and/or the Certificate of Insurance, shall be imputed to the Contractor and may result in an assessment of appropriate penalties for failure to perform in a timely manner.

No Contractor shall be required to employ any Subcontractor, other person or organization against whom he has reasonable accommodation.

16. PENNSYLVANIA HUMAN RELATIONS ACT

Bidders will be required to comply with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Human relations

Act, 43 P.S., § 951-963, as amended. The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall not discriminate against any group because of race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age, sex, or disability.

Under this act, any steel or cast-iron products which are to be used in the performance of this project, must be produced in the United

States or its territories. This act also prohibits payments under the agreement unless the

Township of Tinicum is satisfied that the Contractor has fully complied with the Act.

19. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT

20. PENNSYLVANIA PREVAILING WAGE ACT

A. Bidders will be required to comply with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Prevailing

Wage Act, 43 P.S. § 165, as amended. This act requires public bodies proposing the making of a contract for any project of public work to determine the prevailing minimum wage rates which shall be paid by the contractor to the workmen upon such project, and to incorporate the prevailing minimum wage into such contract. Public work is defined as “construction, reconstruction, demolition, alteration and/or repair work other than maintenance work being done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of the funds of a public body where the estimated cost of the total project is in excess of $25,000”.

If the owner projects that the proposed work is a “Public Work” pursuant to this definition, further requirements and the appropriate wage determination will appear below in Section 20B, the owner has determined that the work is not a “Public Work” and the provisions of Act No. 442 do not apply.

B. Every Contractor and Subcontractor must abide by the requirements of the Pennsylvania

Prevailing Wage Act, 43 P.S., § 165, as amended, and the regulation issued pursuant thereto of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry; and conform to the applicable determination made by the Secretary of the Department of Labor & Industry as to the Prevailing Minimum Wage Rates in the locality where this work is being performed. The Wage determination and all requirements cited in “Duties of Awarding

Agencies Under Pennsylvania’s Prevailing Wage Act” are made an integral part of these

Specifications and are included immediately following the Specifications.

Contractor shall post the hereinafter contained minimum wage rates, include the effective date of any changes thereof, in prominent and easily accessible places on the site of the work, or at such place or places as are used by the contractor to pay workmen their wages.

200-7

20. PENNSYLVANIA PREVAILING WAGE ACT (Continued)

Before final payment will be made, Contractor and his Subcontractor shall file statements in writing with the Secretary certifying to the amount then due and owing from such contractor and subcontractor filing such statement to any and all workmen, setting forth therein the names of persons whose wages are unpaid and the amount due to each respectively, which statement so as to be files shall be verified by the oath of the contractor and subcontractor, as the case may be, that he has read such statement subscribed by him, knows the contents thereof, and that is the same is true of his own knowledge.

21. PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION ACT

Pursuant to Act 127 of 2012 of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

(43 § 167.1 – 167.11), the contractor shall comply with the Federal E - verify employee system, which was signed into law December 2012 and became effective January 1, 2013. The act requires contractors and subcontractors, as a precondition to receiving a contract on public works projects (defined under the Prevailing Wage Act), to submit employee verification forms to the public body (Tinicum Township). These forms, checked through the Department of

Homeland Security, are to determine the eligibility of an employee to work in the Unites States.

Public Works contractors and every subcontractor performing work under a Public Works contract shall utilize the Employment Verification System to verify the employment eligibility of each new employee hired after January 1, 2013. The contractor is also required to submit the form to the Township of Tinicum to ensure compliance with the Act.
