C. Basis for Bidding -Trade Names:

a. When reference is made in the Contract Documents to trade names, brand names, or to the names of manufacturers, such references are made solely to indicate that products of the description may be furnished and are not intended to restrict competitive bidding. If it is desired to use products of trade or brand names or of manufacturer’s names which are different from those mentioned in the Contract Documents, application for the approval of the use of such products must be in receipt of the Architect within ten (10) days prior to the bid date. The latter provision is a restriction which applies only to the party making a submittal. Therefore, the aforesaid restriction does not inhibit the Architect from adding or deleting trade names, brand names or names of manufacturers by addendum. The burden of proving acceptability of a proposed product for use in place of a product or products designated by trade name or names, brand name or names, or by the name or names of manufacturers in the Contract Documents rests on the party submitting the request of approval. The written application for approval of proposed product must be accompanied by technical data, which the party requesting approval desires to submit in support of his application. The Architect will give consideration to reports from reputable independent testing laboratories, verified experience records showing the reputation of the proposed product with previous users, evidence of reputation of the manufacturer for prompt delivery, evidence of reputation of the manufacturer for efficiency in servicing its products, or any other written information that is helpful in the circumstances. The application to the Architect for approval of a proposed product must be accompanied by a schedule setting forth in which respects the materials or equipment submitted for consideration differ from the materials or equipment designated in the Contract Documents. The degree of proof required for approval of a proposed product as acceptable for use in place of a named product or named products is that amount of proof necessary to convince a reasonable person beyond all doubt to be approved, a proposed product must also meet or exceed all express requirements of the Contract Documents. If the submittal is approved by the Architect, an addendum will be issued by the Architect to all prospective bidders. Issuance of an addendum is a representation to all bidders that the Architect in the exercise of his professional discretion established that the product submitted for approval is acceptable and meets or exceeds all express requirements. In order for the Architect to prepare an addendum intelligently, an application for approval of a product must be accompanied by a copy of the published recommendations of the manufacturer for the installation of the product together with a complete schedule of changes in the drawings and specifications, if any, which must be made in other work in order to permit the use and installation of the proposed product in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer of a product. (The Contract requires the Contractor to do all cutting and fitting that might be required to make the several parts of his work come together properly and fit.) Unless requests for approvals or other products have been received and approvals have been published by addendum in accordance with the above procedure, the successful bidder may furnish no products of any trade names, brand names, or manufacturers; names except those designated in the Contract Documents with the exception of any changes or substitution that may be affected via Change Order in accordance with the Contract. Any party who alleges that rejection of a submittal is the result of bias, prejudice, caprice, or error on the part of the Architect may request a conference with a representative or the Owner, provided that the request for said conference, submitted in writing, shall have reached the Owner at least five (5) days prior to the date set for the opening of bids, time being of the essence.

D. Addenda:

a. The Architect and Construction Manager are responsible for addenda to be mailed or delivered to all who are known by the Architect and Construction Manager to have received a Bid Package or a complete set of Bidding Documents. The Architect and Construction Manager will not be responsible for the issuance or receipt of addenda forwarded to bidder by mail carrier.

b. Copies of addenda will be made available for inspection wherever Bidding Documents are on file for that purpose

b.

c. Any or all Proposals may be rejected if there is reason to believe that collusion exists among the bidders and no participants in such collusion will be considered for future Proposals for the same work. Proposals in which the prices obviously are unbalanced may be rejected.

C. Acceptance of the Bid:

a.

1.08 ADDENDUM:

A. Acknowledgement shall be made for receipt of the addenda issued during the bidding period on the Form Proposal.

1.09 TIME OF COMPLETION:

A. The time of completion of the Project is of great importance to the Owner. It is highly desirable that the Project be substantially completed and ready for occupancy at the earliest possible time. Work shall commence when the Trade Contractor is given written Notice to Proceed and is to be Substantially Complete within the time established in each Bid Package from Notice to Proceed. The work shall reach Final Completion within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of Substantial completion. See Tentative Construction Schedule for milestone dates for each Bid Package.

B. Time of completion will be written into the basic Contract, unless different times of completion are mutually agreed upon in writing by the Trade Contractor and The Construction Manager prior to the execution of the Contract.

C. The Trade Contractor shall furnish sufficient forces, construction plant and equipment, and to work such hours, including overtime operations, as may be necessary to insure the prosecution of the work, to allow the Substantial Completion and Final Completion of the Project within the specified times. Normal inclement weather will not be sufficient reason to allow an extension of time on the Project, only exceptional weather conditions or acts of God which might cause delay in the work, or other factors outlined in the Contract agreement between Construction Manager and Trade Contractor, will be considered as justifiable reasons for an extension of time.

D. Failure on the part of the Trade Contractor to comply with the conditions of the basic Contract concerning the time in which the Project is to be completed will be considered by the Construction Manager as a justifiable reason to invoke the conditions of the Contract relating to termination; or, at its sole option, to avail itself of the rights per the contract concerning Liquidated Damages.

E. Bidders are informed that the following paragraphs concerning Liquidated Damages will be inserted in the basic Contract.

a. Trade Contractor and Construction Manager agree that time is of the essence and that Construction Manager will suffer financial loss if the Work is not substantially completed within the Contract Time, as said Contract Time may be adjusted as provided for herein. In such event, the total amount of the Construction Manager’s damages, will be difficult, if not impossible, to definitely ascertain and quantify. It is hereby agreed by the parties that is appropriate and fair that the Construction Manager receive liquidated damages from the Trade Contractor, if the Trade Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the required Contract Time. Should Trade Contractor fail to substantially completion of the Work within the required time period, Construction Manager shall be entitled to assess, as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty $2,500 for each calendar day thereafter until Substantial Completion is achieved. Trade Contractor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidates damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of Construction Manager’s actual damages at the time of contracting if Trade Contractor fails to substantially complete the Work in a timely manner.

If awarded this Construction Contract, the Trade Contractor agrees to complete the work covered by the Contract as follows:

1. Substantially Complete within the time established in each Bid Package from Notice to Proceed.

2. Completion in thirty (30) consecutive days from Substantial Completion.

b. The provision for liquidated damages for delay shall in no manner affect the Construction Manager's right to terminate the Contract, as provided in the Trade Contractor's Agreement or elsewhere in the Contract Documents and Construction Manager's exercise of the right to terminate shall not release the Trade Contractor from his/her obligations to pay the liquidated damages, the amount hereinbefore set out. The liquidated damages shall be payable in addition to any excess expenses or costs payable by the Trade Contractor per the contract and shall not exclude recovery of damages by the Construction Manager under other provisions of the Contract.

1.10 PERFORMANCE BOND AND LABOR AND MATERIAL PAYMENT BOND:

A. Construction Manager's Right to Require Bonds:

a. The Construction Manager shall require the bidder to furnish a Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond (Ausley Construction Company, LLC, shall be named as Obligee) covering the faithful performance of the Contract and the payment of all obligations arising there under equal to 100% of the Contract amount with such sureties secured through the bidders usual sources as may be agreeable to the parties. The cost shall be separate and not included in the Trade Contractors Base Bid.

1. The Bonds shall be kept current with the full amount of the Contract.

2. The Bonds shall extend as a Maintenance Bond for one (1) year after final acceptance of the Project by the Owner.

B. Time and Delivery and Form of Bonds:

a. The bidder shall deliver the required Bonds to the Construction Manager no later than the date of execution of the Contract.

C. Execution of the Bonds:

a. The Trade Contractor's Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bond shall be executed on behalf of the Trade Contractor in the same manner as the Contract was executed and by the same person or persons who executed the Contract and it shall not be dated earlier than the Agreement.

b. The Bond must be accompanied by a duly authenticated or certified document evidencing that the person executing the Bond on behalf of the Surety had the authority to do so on the date of the Bond. In the usual case, the conferring of that authority has occurred prior to the date of the Bond; and the document showing the date of the appointment and the enumeration of the powers of the person executing the Bond is accompanied by a certification that the appointment and powers have not been revoked and remain in effect.
