The Notice to Proceed with the Work shall be issued to Contractor within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Contract Award, provided Contractor has met the conditions precedent for such Notice being issued, namely, (1) the execution of the Contract by Contractor and its return to Owner, (2) submission of the required Bonds to Owner, (3) submission of the required Certificates of Insurance to Owner, (4) submission to Owner of Exhibit D, as required by Paragraph 4.6 of the Contract, (5) evidence of capacity to perform the Work, and (6) submission of any other documentation or information required of Contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Division 1 Specifications, the Contract and the General Conditions.

C. Contractor shall commence Work on receipt of the Notice to Proceed, and shall complete the Work, including completion of performance testing, commissioning and such remedial work as may be required by Owner, within the Contract Time and dates set forth in the Contract.

1.17 INDIANA STATE GROSS RETAIL AND USE TAX

A. The Owner is exempt from the Indiana Gross Retail Tax and Use Tax under the provisions of Section 39(b)(6), Chapter 50, Acts of 1933, as amended. All of its purchases of tangible personal property are therefore exempt from such taxes. This is only for materials that become a part of the permanent structure.

This statement shall apply to all Contractors bidding any work in anticipation of a direct contract with the Owner.

B. All bids shall be submitted without inclusion in the bid price of the amounts, if any, of Gross

Retail and Use Tax (generally called the “Sales Tax”) due the State of Indiana for services performed or material furnished in connection with the work contemplated by the Bidder.

This provision shall apply both to contracts directly with the Owner and to transactions between a prime or general contractor and any subcontractor or supplier furnishing services or material to the general/prime contractor.

However, any tax on rental equipment and on material not incorporated in the work shall be paid by the contractor if assessed by the State of Indiana and shall not be paid by the Owner.

1.18 DBE PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

A. It is Owner’s policy that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) shall have the maximum feasible opportunity to participate in the performance of the Work. However, there is no DBE goal set for this Project. IPTC may not resume setting DBE contract goals until INDOT completes the reevaluation process described in 49 CFR 26.111.

2. For public works procurements let pursuant to IC 36-1-12, protests must be received by IPTC’s Procurement Department from an Interested Party within two (2) business days from bid opening.

B. If Protests are not lodged within the required time, the Protestor will be deemed to have waived all rights to protest the Bid and/or award.

C. All Protests shall be in writing before any further consideration is given. No oral objections will be considered. Protest submissions should be concise, logically arranged, and state clearly the grounds for protest. All Protests must include the following minimal information:

1. Protestor Name, Address and Phone Number.

2. Identification of the solicitation in protest by number.

3. A detailed statement of the legal and/or functional ground under protest, including copies of the relevant documents.

D. Protests shall be directed to the IPTC Director of Procurement. All Protest documents that are received by IPTC shall be stamped with the date and time received and logged into a “Protest File.”

1.6 DETERMINATION & AVAILABLE RELIEF

A. Upon receipt of any Protest, the IPTC, through the Director of Procurement, shall endeavor to render a decision on the Protest promptly, but in any event will render a decision no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Protest. The decision rendered by the Director of Procurement shall be final.

B. IPTC expressly reserves the right to reject all bids at any time prior to a formal contract award and elect to re-procure.

C. If the IPTC determines that a Protest submission is timely, complete and meritorious, the Protestor’s relief shall be limited to the IPTC’s decision and recommended course of action. The Protestor shall not be entitled to any monetary relief, including, but not limited to, expectancy damages and bid preparation costs.

A Protestor must exhaust all administrative remedies as set forth herein as a pre-condition for any legal or equity relief sought in a judicial forum.
