Schedule of Prices, Document DD – Construction Contract, Document EE – Proposal Guarantee (Bid Bond), Document FF –

General Conditions, Document GG – Special Conditions, Document NN – Performance Bond. The website also contains the

Construction Specifications and the Construction Plans developed by the engineer. The documents on these websites can be viewed or printed by those interested in the project.

The Division will maintain an updated plan holders list for this project. In order to be added to the plan holders list, the interested party must contact the Division by phone, fax, letter, or e-mail.

07 WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

Bids may be withdrawn any time prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids; but no bid may be withdrawn for a period of thirty (30) calendar days thereafter.

08 EVALUATION OF BIDS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT

Division may consider such factors as bid price and bidder qualifications outlined in Section 02, including whether the bidder currently has a contract in default with the Division. In comparing bid prices, the total bids of the various bidders shall be determined by applying the unit prices bid for each work item against the estimated work item quantities set forth in the proposal.

09 TAXES

Materials purchased for this construction contract let by the Division are exempt from sales and use tax, including local option taxes.

The Division, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of acceptable proof of insurance coverage, Performance Bond, and Contract, signed by the party to whom the Contract was awarded, shall sign the Contract and return to such party an executed copy of the

Contract. Should the Division not execute the Contract within such period, the Bidder may, with written notice, withdraw the signed Contract. Such notice of withdrawal shall be effective upon receipt of the notice by the Division.

The Division shall review the submitted Construction Progress Schedule, and work with the Contractor to adjust the schedule if it is deemed necessary. The Notice-to-Proceed shall be issued by the Division within five (5) days of the execution of the

Contract, provided that the Construction Progress Schedule has been accepted by the Division. Should there be additional time required to make adjustments to the Construction Progress Schedule, the time to issue the Notice-to-Proceed may be extended to allow for this. Should there be any other reason why the Notice-to-Proceed cannot be issued within such period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the Division and Contractor. If the Notice-to-Proceed has not been issued within a thirty (30) day period, or within a greater period mutually agreed upon, the Contractor may terminate the Contract without further liability on the part of either party.

No work may commence on site prior to the Preconstruction

Conference. If the Contractor plans to move the Construction Start Date to a date earlier than previously agreed upon in the

Construction Progress Schedule, this shall be communicated to the Division in a timely manner to allow for scheduling of the

Preconstruction Conference. Should there be a reason why the construction work on site cannot commence by the agreed upon

Construction Start Date, the schedule may be adjusted by mutual agreement between the Division and Contractor, as described in the General Conditions (Document FF, Paragraph 3-21).

Further, the parties agree and acknowledge as follows:

• The amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by Division are uncertain and said loss is incapable or very difficult to quantify and estimate;

• The amount of liquidated damages herein fairly approximates Division’s loss at the time of making of this

• The amount of liquidated damages fixed herein are fair and reasonable and it approximates to the extent possible the actual loss to Division as a result of any delay on the part of Contractor; and

• Division and Contractor are sophisticated parties and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual obligations set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
