8. Examination of Solicitation and Conditions

By submitting an Offer, the Offeror represents that it has examined the Solicitation Documents, considered all conditions that may affect performance and pricing, and has obtained all information it deems necessary to submit a complete Offer. Failure to investigate conditions or review available information does not relieve the successful

Offeror from its obligations.

If the work involves a physical site, the Offeror is responsible for familiarizing itself with observable site conditions and applicable access constraints, unless the Solicitation expressly assigns a condition or risk to the County.

9. Offer Preparation

Offers must be clear, complete, and organized in the order requested. The Offeror shall provide sufficient information for the County to determine responsiveness, responsibility, qualifications, and value.

Unless expressly allowed, an Offer may not condition acceptance on the County’s agreement to the Offeror’s standard terms. Any requested exception or deviation must be clearly identified in the designated section of the

Offer. Silence will be treated as acceptance of the Solicitation requirements.

The following items must be submitted to be considered responsive to this solicitation:

1. Cover letter and Offeror information, including legal name, address, primary contact, authorized representative, and acknowledgment of all addenda.

2. Executive summary describing the Offeror's understanding of the project and proposed overall design-build solution.

11. Submission of Offers

Submit through utah.bonfirehub.com under the corresponding project ID. The Offer must be received by the County no later than the Submission Deadline. The Offeror bears all risk of delay, transmission failure, file corruption, delivery error, or submission to the wrong location.

Offers submitted by fax, email, text message, mail, or other unauthorized method will not be accepted. The County may reject unreadable, inaccessible, password-protected, malware-infected, or materially incomplete files.

12. Late Offers

An Offer received after the Submission Deadline is late and will not be considered except to the extent permitted by applicable law and County procurement rules. The Offeror is solely responsible for timely receipt; evidence that an

Offer was sent before the deadline does not establish timely receipt.

13. Modification or Withdrawal

An Offeror may modify or withdraw its Offer before the Submission Deadline through the authorized submission method. After the deadline, an Offer may be withdrawn or corrected only as permitted by applicable procurement law and upon the County’s written approval. The County may require documentation supporting a claimed error.

Tooele County | 5

14. Offer Validity

Offers shall remain valid and irrevocable for ninety (90) calendar days after the Submission Deadline unless the

County agrees in writing to a shorter period. The County may request a written extension of the validity period.

15. Public Records and Confidential Information

Records submitted to the County are subject to the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act

(“GRAMA”), Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, and other applicable law. The County cannot guarantee that any portion of an Offer will remain confidential.

An Offeror requesting protected treatment must identify each specific portion claimed to be protected, state the legal basis for the claim, and provide a redacted public copy when requested. Blanket designations, including marking an entire Offer “confidential,” are not acceptable. Pricing, total scores, and information required by law to be public may not be protected merely because the Offeror labels them confidential.

The County will make the final determination regarding record classification and disclosure. The Offeror shall cooperate with the County in responding to a records request and may be required to defend and indemnify the

County regarding an asserted confidentiality claim to the extent allowed by law.

16. Costs of Preparing an Offer

The County is not liable for costs incurred in preparing, submitting, presenting, clarifying, negotiating, or otherwise participating in this procurement. All such costs are the Offeror’s responsibility, regardless of the outcome.

17. Required Representations and Certifications

By submitting an Offer, the Offeror represents and certifies that:

• the person submitting or signing the Offer is authorized to bind the Offeror;

• the Offer is made independently and without collusion, price fixing, or unlawful coordination;

• the Offeror has disclosed any actual or potential conflict of interest involving the County, its employees, elected officials, agents, or evaluation committee members;

• the Offeror is not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to contract with the County and will promptly disclose any change in status;

• all information in the Offer is true, current, and complete in all material respects;

• the Offeror will comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws, licenses, permits, and professional requirements; and

• the Offeror has not offered or provided a gratuity, gift, kickback, or other improper benefit in connection with this procurement.

18. Exceptions and Proposed Contract Terms

Offerors must identify all requested exceptions to the Solicitation Documents and proposed Contract terms in a single, clearly labeled exceptions section. Each exception must cite the affected provision, explain the concern, and provide proposed replacement language. The County may reject an Offer containing material exceptions or may consider exceptions during evaluation or negotiation when permitted by the procurement method.

The submission of an Offeror’s standard agreement, click-through terms, web terms, or licensing terms does not make those terms part of the Offer or Contract unless the County expressly accepts them in a signed Contract.

Tooele County | 6

19. Responsiveness and Responsibility

The County may reject an Offer that is nonresponsive, including an Offer that is late, materially incomplete, unsigned when a signature is required, conditioned on unacceptable terms, or fails to comply with a material Solicitation requirement.

Before award, the County may determine whether the apparent successful Offeror is responsible. The County may consider experience, performance history, integrity, financial and operational capacity, personnel, equipment, licenses, legal eligibility, and ability to meet the required schedule. The County may request supporting information and may contact references or other entities with relevant experience.

Every item listed in section nine (9) must be provided by the Offeror to be considered responsive. The County may allow for the curing of immaterial omissions at its sole discretion.

20. Clarifications and Minor Informalities

The County may request clarification of an Offer or waive a minor informality or immaterial irregularity when permitted by law and when doing so does not prejudice other Offerors. A clarification may explain existing content but may not be used to materially revise an Offer except through an authorized discussion, negotiation, best-and-final-offer, or correction process.

21. Evaluation

The County may verify any information submitted and may consider relevant past performance, including information not supplied as a listed reference, to the extent permitted by law. Evaluation records will be retained and disclosed as required by applicable law.

Responsive proposals will be evaluated using the criteria and weights below. The County intends a best-value evaluation in which technical merit accounts for 70 points and price accounts for 30 points.

Technical criteria (70 points): project understanding and design-build technical approach, 20 points; relevant signage and comparable design-build experience and past performance, 15 points; qualifications and availability of the proposed team, including Utah-licensed structural and electrical design professionals, 10 points; project management, coordination, and proposed schedule, 10 points; fabrication, installation, quality-control, and warranty approach, 10 points; and risk identification, site investigation, and value offered through proposed solutions, 5 points.

Price: 30 points, calculated by dividing the lowest evaluated price by the proposal's evaluated price and multiplying by

30, subject to adjustment when alternates are included in the evaluated award basis.

The County may establish a competitive range consisting of the highest-scoring technical proposals that the County determines have a reasonable prospect of award. The County may limit cost evaluation, interviews, discussions, proposal revisions, and best-and-final offers to Offerors within that competitive range. Establishing a competitive range is optional and does not obligate the County to conduct discussions or request revised proposals. Final award will be based on the stated technical and price criteria and any properly requested final proposal revisions.

22. Interviews, Presentations, Demonstrations, and Site Visits

If conducted, the County may require key personnel identified in the Offer to participate and may prescribe a common format, time limit, agenda, or scenario to support a fair comparison.

Tooele County | 7

23. Discussions, Negotiations, and Best and Final Offers

Offerors should submit their best terms initially. Participation in discussions or negotiations does not guarantee award. Any resulting agreement is subject to required County approvals and execution by authorized representatives.

Best and final offers may be requested in accordance with County code.

24. Award

The Solicitation is expected to result in a single award to one Contractor.

The anticipated contract type is fixed-price design-build, consisting of a lump-sum Base Proposal and, if accepted, a lump-sum additive alternate. Unit prices or allowances requested by the County will apply only to authorized variable work.

Award is subject to applicable law, available funding, required approvals, and successful completion of any negotiations or responsibility review. A notice of intent to award, ranking, recommendation, or County Council agenda item does not create a Contract or authorize performance. No Contract exists until it is executed by all required parties and, when applicable, approved by the County Council.

The County may accept or reject any or all Offers, reject an Offer in whole or in part, make an award in the County’s best interest as allowed by the procurement method, or cancel the Solicitation before award when the County determines cancellation is appropriate.

25. Notice and Debriefing

The County will provide notice of the procurement result via notice posted to the project portal. An unsuccessful

Offeror may request a debriefing within five (5) business days of notice posting by contacting the Procurement

Contact. A debriefing is intended to explain the evaluation of the requesting Offeror’s submission and will not disclose another Offeror’s protected information.

26. Vendor Registration and Eligibility

The successful Offeror may be required to register as a County vendor, provide a completed IRS Form W-9, verify legal business status, and submit payment and banking information through County-approved processes. Registration requirements do not alter the Submission Deadline unless expressly stated.

27. Insurance, Bonds, and Other Preconditions

The successful Offeror shall provide the insurance, bonds, licenses, permits, background checks, security documentation, or other preconditions identified in the Solicitation or proposed Contract before beginning performance. Failure to timely satisfy a required precondition may result in withdrawal of the intended award and selection of another Offeror.

Bonds required for this procurement are a performance bond in the amount of 100% of the awarded Contract price and a payment bond in the amount of 100% of the awarded Contract price. Bonds are required from the successful

Offeror before work begins. Proposal security is not required.

Insurance requirements for this procurement are stated in Section 18 of Attachment B, Terms & Conditions. The successful Offeror shall also ensure that its design professionals maintain professional liability coverage appropriate to the structural and electrical design services performed.

30. Governing Law and Venue

This procurement and any resulting Contract are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Venue for any judicial action shall lie in a court of competent jurisdiction in Tooele County, Utah, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

31. No Waiver; No Obligation
