2.14 MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BID

2.14.01 Bids may be modified or withdrawn via PennBid at any time up to the bid due date and time.

Thereafter, if the work is rebid, that Bidder will be disqualified from further bidding on the work.

2.14.03 If the bid is withdrawn, the Owner may either award the Contract to next lowest qualified responsible and responsive Bidder or reject all bids and resubmit the project for bidding. If the Owner elects to reject all bids and resubmit as a result of withdrawal (and not for other reasons), the withdrawing bidder is obliged to pay the costs of printing new contract documents, required advertising, and printing and mailing notices to prospective bidders.

2.15 BID OPENING PROCEDURE

2.15.01 Bids will be opened and posted publicly on PennBid. An abstract of the amounts of the sealed Bids and major alternates (if any) will be made available to Bidders after the opening of Bids.

2.17 AWARD OF CONTRACT

2.17.01 The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any parts thereof, waive informalities, irregularities, or technicalities, and negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder. The Owner reserves the right to reject all nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced or conditional bids. The Owner reserves the right to reject the bid of any Bidder if Owner believes it would not be in the best interest of the project to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the bid is not responsive or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by Owner.

2.17.1 More than one Bid for the same work from an individual or entity under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest in more than one Bid for the work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and the rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest.

2.17.2 Discrepancies in the multiplication of units of work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.

OWNER may also consider the operating costs, maintenance requirements, performance data and guarantees of major items of materials and equipment proposed for incorporation in the work when such data is required to be submitted prior to the Notice of Award.

2.17.4 If the contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder (the "Successful Bidder") based on the “Total Lump Sum Contract Price”. In awarding bids, the Owner shall have the right to take into consideration the following factors in addition to price:

A. Character, integrity, reputation, and judgment of the Bidder.

B. The previous and existing compliance of the Bidder with the requirements of all-applicable laws and regulations.

Failure to provide an adequate Financial Balance Statement within ten (10) days after being issued a Notice of Intent to Award may result in Bidder disqualification.

2.18.02 Each bid must be accompanied by a bid security made payable to Owner for ten (10) percent of the Bidder’s maximum bid price and in the form of a Certified Check or Surety Company Bid bond. The bid security of the Successful Bidder will be retained until such Bidder has executed the agreement and furnished the required contract security, whereupon the bid security will be returned. If the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Agreement and furnish the required contract security with fifteen

(15) days after the Notice of Award, the Owner may annul the Notice of Award, and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited. The Bid security of the other Bidders whom OWNER believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award may be retained by the Owner until the earlier of the seventh day after the Effective Date of the Agreement or the sixty-first (61st) day after the Bid opening, whereupon Bid security furnished by such Bidders will be returned.

In such case, the Owner, at its discretion, may award the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder, or reject all bids.

2.20 SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING OF CONTRACT

2.21 REJECTION OF BIDS
