1.17 AWARD OF CONTRACT

A.

B. In evaluating Bids, Owner will consider the qualifications of Bidders, whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such Alternates (if any), unit prices, and other data, as may be requested in the Bid Form or prior to the Notice of Award.

E. Owner may conduct such investigations as Owner deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications, and financial ability of Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations to perform and furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to Owner’s satisfaction within the prescribed time.

I. More than one bid from an individual, partnership, corporation, or an association under the same name or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that the Bidder is interested in more than one Bid for the same Work will cause the rejection of all Bids in which such Bidder is interested.

B. If the Owner finds the documents submitted by the apparent Successful Bidder acceptable, it will, within ten days after receipt of such documents, complete the signing of the Agreement and submit two fully executed copies to the Contractor.

C. If the Owner elects to issue a Notice to Proceed, such notice will accompany the fully executed copies of the Agreement. If no Notice to Proceed is issued, the Contract Time will commence to run as specified in Paragraph 4.1 of the General Conditions, as amended by Supplementary Conditions Paragraph SC-4.01.

3.2.2 After the Work is 50% completed, subsequent approved Applications for Payment shall be paid by Owner subject to withholding by Owner of five percent of each such approved Application for Payment so that the total amount withheld from Contractor shall not exceed five percent of the value of completed Work based on approved Applications for Payment.

3.2.3 In the event that a dispute arises between Owner and the Contractor, which dispute is based on increased costs incurred by one contractor occasioned by delays or other actions of another contractor, additional retainage in the sum of one and one-half times the amount of any possible liability may be withheld by the Owner from the Contractor until such times as a final resolution is agreed to by all parties directly or indirectly involved, unless the contractor causing the additional claim furnishes a Bond satisfactory to Owner to indemnify Owner against the claim.
