1. PROPOSAL

a. A Bidder must provide a price on each item listed.

b. Unless stated otherwise by the City, all bid prices should include the furnishing and installing materials.

c. Bidder must insert extended prices obtained by multiplying the proposed quantities times the unit prices. In case of errors, unit prices will govern. The corrected extended prices and corrected Total Base Bid will be used to determine the lowest qualified Bid.

e. Bidder agrees to keep its bid in effect for 120 calendar days after the Bid Opening date to allow the CITY time to award the bid, should it be awarded, and time to prepare and execute the contract (or issue the purchase order). This time period begins at the time bids are opened and ends upon the issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the CITY. The bid prices shall remain in effect throughout the life of the Contract. Failure of the CITY to issue NTP within the specified time period shall allow Bidder to withdraw its Bid and terminate its contract without penalty or forfeiture of Bid Bond. Failure of the CITY to issue NTP within the specified time period shall not entitle Bidder to an adjustment of its Bid prices, unless mutually agreeable by the CITY.

f. Bids in which the prices are obviously unbalanced are subject to rejection. The CITY shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR for failure to reject or notify the Bidder of any unbalanced bid.

2. CONDITIONS IN BIDDER'S PROPOSAL

a. The Bidder shall not stipulate in its Bid Proposal, or append thereto, any conditions contrary to those contained in the Contract Documents.

3. TAXES

a. Bidders shall include in their bid prices any sales taxes or use taxes which they are required by law to pay. Bidders are reminded, it is the CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to pay all Florida Sales Taxes that are required to be paid to the State under the subject contract. These taxes, by State law, are not to be set forth as a separate line item. Therefore, the CONTRACTOR shall devise his own method to insure recovery. Additional allowances will not be made for failure to include these required taxes in the proposal.

4. QUANTITIES

a. It is understood that the quantities set forth in the Proposal Form are calculated estimates, and that payment will be made only upon the actual quantities of work complete in place, measured as defined in the Contract Documents. It is the Bidder's responsibility to verify the scope and quantity of work included in lump sum bid items. No Adjustment in a lump sum bid price will be allowed for errors in quantity tabulations unless there is a change in the defined scope of work after receipt of the bids.

b. It is anticipated that the quantities set forth in the Bid Proposal Form are reasonable and will not be exceeded. During the bid process, any Bidder finding a discrepancy larger than 10% of the estimated quantity shall bring the discrepancy to the attention of the ENGINEER. The quantity estimated will be checked and if found in error, an addendum will be published and distributed to all Bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if during construction any quantity is exceeded, the overrun must be approved by the ENGINEER prior to proceeding with work to incorporate the item in the construction. No change order for this additional work will be required other than a final change order for the amount installed, except when any one pay item is increased by more than 20% of the quantity listed or when the total amount of all overruns or underruns exceeds $50,000. If any one of said quantities is adjusted greater than twenty percent (20%), then the unit price is subject to negotiation.

c. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing Total Bid(s) is/are the basis for establishing the amount of the Bid Security and is not to be construed to be a Lump Sum Proposal.

5. SUBSTITUTION OF "OR EQUAL" ITEMS

a. The materials, devices, systems, appliances, or equipment designated in the Contract Documents by a manufacturer's, vendor's, proprietary or trade name; establish a standard of required function, dimensions, appearance and quality to be met. Wherever the designation of such items is not followed by "or equal", it shall be deemed that the words "or equal" do follow such designation. A Bidder may propose the substitution of items equaling or bettering the standards of those specified, upon submission to the ENGINEER, not less than 10 days (7 if informal) prior to the date for receipt of Bids, of complete information on the proposed substitute including its name, manufacturer, drawings, cut-sheets, performance, test data, and any other information required by the ENGINEER for evaluation of the proposed substitute.

b. Approval, if granted, by the ENGINEER of a proposed substitute shall be in the form of an Addendum issued to all prospective bidders. Whenever a bidder proposes to furnish an approved substitute, it shall be responsible for and include in its base bid the cost of making all adjustments to accommodate the substitute including, but not limited to, structural elements, auxiliary equipment, piling, electrical, mechanical and control systems; which are required to provide a complete satisfactory operating installation of the substitute item. Approval of the substitute item shall be in the sole discretion of the ENGINEER upon its finding that it conforms to all structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and other design criteria as well as required operating performance characteristics. Failure of the ENGINEER to complete the review and evaluation of a proposed substitute in time to issue an addendum prior to the receipt of Bids shall not authorize any Bidder to include such substitute in a Bid nor shall it be the basis of a protest by a Bidder.

c. No substitute or "or equal" item which has not been previously approved as required by this Section, shall be included in the proposal. If, regardless of the above prohibition, a non-approved substitute item is shown on the proposal, it shall be disregarded in consideration of award, and if an award is made to such Bidder, the Bidder shall furnish the item as specified with no change in Bid price notwithstanding the substitute shown on the proposal.

d. Following the award of a contract, substitution of any item from that specified or approved prior to receipt of bid, shall be requested in accordance with the applicable sections of the General Conditions (Construction).

Direct Material Purchases

Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 212.08(6), and Florida Administrative Code, Number 12A-1.094, the City of Jacksonville is exempt from Florida Sales Tax for the purchase of construction materials, supplies and/or equipment incorporated into a construction project. Furthermore, the Procurement Division is required per the Jax P-Code,

126.306 (h), to include Owner Direct Materials Purchase Order (ODPO) or Direct Materials Purchase Order (DMPO/DPO) in all capital improvement solicitations which requires the contractor to include on the schedule of values, a total line-item cost by material type for each supply purchase necessary for the project.

This requirement applies to any line item (type of material) where the total cost of the type of material is $100,000 or more for non-JSEB suppliers, and $10,000 or more for JSEB suppliers, unless the Chief of Procurement determines, based on satisfactory written justification provided by the using agency, that the city's purchase of supplies for a capital improvement procurement is not feasible, economical, or beneficial to the city's interests.

Per the solicitation clauses, the supplier will be responsible for all matters relating to the receipt of materials purchased by the city, including verifying correct quantities, inspection, and acceptance of the materials at the time of delivery.

The supplier shall also bear the costs of all payment and performance bonds and insurance, including builder's risk insurance. The supplier shall be responsible for coordinating the delivery, storage, and incorporation of material purchases made by the city. Once the materials are incorporated in the project, they become the responsibility of the supplier. Failure by the supplier to comply with the tax exemption procedures, which will result in taxes, fines or damages to the city shall be the sole responsibility and liability of the supplier.

The bid price is the contract price as awarded and must include any applicable sales tax. Material prices may fluctuate but there will be no increase to the contract price. Any adjustments up or down to the original estimated cost are absorbed within the bid price. In addition, the supplier is required to register or already be registered in 1Cloud prior to any purchase request. The Supplier link for registration is www.jacksonville.gov/supplierportal or Jacksonville.gov - Supplier Portal
