PERRY PARK GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS

Electronic sealed Bids will be received by the Owner for the construction of the following project:

The Perry Park project creates stormwater wetlands to collect runoff and reduce non-point source pollution. Perry Park, located in the City of Pontiac, regularly accumulates standing water after rainfall events from the surrounding areas, which are lower than the adjacent pavement. Currently at the project site, water carries non-point source pollution and is pumped into the local storm sewer system, which is at a higher elevation than the park area. This project will include the construction of stormwater wetlands that will reduce nonpoint source pollution in the storm sewer system by collecting stormwater and improve water quality by facilitating infiltration of runoff and vegetative treatment. Perry Park falls within the Joseph Jones Drainage District, a Chapter 20 Drain that is funded 100% by the City of Pontiac, a significantly overburdened community. This project is funded by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).

THE BIDS RECEIVED WILL BE PUBLICLY OPENED VIA MICROSOFT TEAMS AND READ AT THE

5. INSPECTION OF SITE, INSPECTION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, PLANNING, AND

ANALYSIS

A. Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder is responsible for inspecting the site of the proposed work, and the surrounding premises, to arrive at a clear understanding of the conditions under which the work is to be performed.

B. Before delivery of its Bid, each Bidder is held to have compared the conditions of the site where work is to be performed with the Contract Documents and to have satisfied itself as to the conditions of the site and surrounding premises, including any obstructions, all excavating, filling in, and quantities, and any other conditions affecting the work, including the weather conditions of the project area. Each Bidder must obtain first-hand information concerning the available facilities for receiving, transporting, handling, and storing construction equipment and materials and concerning other local conditions that may affect its work. Each Bidder must acquaint itself with the character and extent of the operations of Owner and any other contractors in the area of the work, so that the Bidder can plan its work accordingly.

C. Bidders must estimate the quantity of materials, labor and equipment required for the work by examination of the site and a review of the Contract Documents including Addenda, and by carefully considering all other relevant factors. Bidder warrants that by submitting its Bid, it had no misunderstanding concerning the quantities or nature of the work to be performed, and the Bidder will assert no such claim asserting such a misunderstanding.

D. No allowances or extra payment will be made to Contractor because of costs or expenses occasioned by Contractor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article, or by reason of error or oversight on the part of the Bidder, or on account of interference by the activities of Owner or any other contractor where those activities are apparent or are made known to the Bidders during the bidding process.

E. For bidding purposes, the Bidder is responsible for evaluating the compatibility of proposed construction methods with the Contract Documents, and soil and site information. Bidders must carefully study and compare all portions of the Contract Documents and must notify the Engineer, in writing, prior to the deadline for pre-bid questions, of any concerns, questions, apparent ambiguities, conflicts, incompatibilities, apparent errors, or other discrepancies evident in the Contract Documents.

F. The successful Bidder must complete the work under whatever conditions it may create by its own actions or inactions, sequence of construction, construction means and methods, or other conditions it may create or cause to be created at no additional cost to Owner.

Page IB-5 of IB-13 4-23-2024

B. Bidders may only rely on technical data contained in such reports except were indicated otherwise in the Contract Documents. Evaluations, analyses, recommendations, or conclusions contained in such reports shall not be relied upon in formulating any Bid for the work. This data is offered to the Bidders as information about underground and site conditions only at the locations at which any soil borings, sampling, or other data collection were made. Owner does not represent or warrant that the underground conditions encountered at or near the site during construction will generally or specifically conform to underground conditions described in the data in these borings or any accompanying descriptive report.

C. Each Bidder and the Contractor awarded the project shall draw their own conclusions as to site, underground or soil conditions from their own experience, independent knowledge, and investigation of the site, and they should each secure such other and additional information and data as they consider necessary or desirable to check and supplement the provided underground data for specific locations. The Contractor is required to complete the work under any job or field condition which was present and/or ascertainable prior to Bidding.

D. All Bidders that seek to conduct any additional underground or site exploration or testing must do so at their own expense as necessary. Such Bidders must contact Owner and obtain its written permission before proceeding.

E. Any additional exploration conducted by Bidders must be performed in a manner which precludes unnecessary disruption of the soils, or which impedes construction operations and must be performed in compliance with the Mineral Well Act, Act No. 315 of the Public Acts of 1969, as amended, MCL 319.211, et seq. Any Bidder performing exploration work must restore all areas of exploration to their original condition. By entering the site to conduct such investigation and testing, the Bidder agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless all the persons identified in the indemnity provisions of the General and Supplementary Conditions to the full extent of the indemnity obligation set forth in those Contract Documents.

7. AWARD OF CONTRACT

A. The Contract, if awarded, will be awarded to the highest scoring, responsive, and responsible bidder, subject to the final approval by the Drain Board of the Joseph Jones Drain Drainage District. The Contract will be awarded subject to receipt of funds to finance the project and acquisition of easements, during which time the Bids of the highest scoring three responsive, responsible Bidders will be held.

B. The party to whom the Contract is awarded will be required to execute the Agreement and obtain the Performance Bond, Labor and Material Bond and Maintenance and Guarantee Bond and shall provide proofs of insurance coverage in accordance with the Contract Documents within ten (10) calendar days of the delivery date of the Notice of Award to the successful Bidder. The necessary Agreement and Bond forms shall accompany the Notice of Award. If the Contractor awarded the project fails to execute the Agreement, submit the Performance Bond, Labor and Material Bond and Maintenance and Guarantee Bond and provide proof of insurance coverage in

Page IB-6 of IB-13 4-23-2024 accordance with the Contract Documents within ten (10) calendar days of the delivery date of the Notice of Award, Owner may declare the Contractor in default, in which case the Bid Bond accompanying the Bid will be forfeited to Owner.

8. INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Neither Owner nor the Engineer will give verbal instructions prior to the award of the Contract. Any verbal statements regarding the Contract by any person are not authorized and do not constitute representations, warranties, modifications, agreements, or promises, express or implied, and may not be relied upon by Bidders.

B. Bidders seeking explanations regarding the project, or the Contract Documents must submit written requests to the Engineer, and if explanations are necessary, a reply will be made in the form of an Addendum, a copy of which will be forwarded to all parties that have taken out Contract Documents. The determination of the necessity of explanations will be in the sole discretion of the Engineer and Owner and no obligation to provide a reply or addendum will be implied.

Unless the legal status of the Bidder is an Individual, the signature(s) of the signing official(s) must be accompanied by the appropriate Resolution or Certificate Form found at the end of the Bid Form, properly executed, authorizing the official(s) to sign both the Bid Form and the Contract. Failure to submit this form is basis for rejecting the Bid.

10. QUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS

A. Except as otherwise reserved herein, Owner will only award the Contract to a responsible Bidder. A finding that the Contractor is not responsible in connection with the project shall not necessarily preclude the Bidder from bidding and performing work on other projects for Owner.

B. Factors to be considered in determining whether Owner’s standard of responsibility has been met shall include, but not be limited to, whether the Contractor has:

Page IB-7 of IB-13 4-23-2024

a. The appropriate financial, material, equipment, facilities, and personnel resources and expertise available, or the ability to obtain them, necessary to indicate it can meet all contractual requirements;

b. A satisfactory record of performance;

c. A satisfactory record of integrity;

d. Qualified legally to contract with Owner and has supplied all necessary information in connection with the inquiry concerning responsibility.

e. If Contractor has been deemed non-responsible in the past, provided a detailed explanation of its remedial actions after the determination to address any concerns expressed by the authority making the declaration such that the authority would consider awarding a contract to the Contractor, notwithstanding past concerns about Contractor’s performance.

C. The Contractor must supply information requested by Owner concerning the responsibility of the Bidder. If the Bidder fails to supply the requested information, Owner must base the determination of responsibility upon any available information or may find the Bidder non-responsible if such failure is unreasonable. A finding that the Bidder has failed to make a required disclosure or submitted false information may result in immediate disqualification of the Bidder.

D. Within 10 days after bids are received by Owner, the Contractor who has submitted the low bid must, upon request of Owner, complete and submit to Owner the following:

1) MIOSHA Form 300 – “Log of Work-Related Injuries” for the last three (3) years.

2) MIOSHA Form 300A - “Summary of Work-Related Injuries & Illnesses” for the last three (3) years.

E. In addition to meeting the criteria set forth in this Article, and the submission of the required information requested herein, the ability of the Contractor and its identified Subcontractors to proficiently handle technical issues, safety, scheduling, and administrative issues as demonstrated by its past performance on projects for Owner, as well as projects for other public agencies, will be considered in determining whether a Contractor is a responsible contractor for this project. Past performance issues to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Failure to adhere to and/or comply with Contractor’s obligations in the Contract

Documents;

b. Failure to follow administrative procedures and provisions in the Contact Documents;

c. Submission of false claims or falsely inflated claims;

Page IB-8 of IB-13 4-23-2024

d. Failure to prosecute the work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications included in the Contract Documents; and

e. Failure to follow bidding instructions.

F. The Bidder shall promptly submit upon request by Owner any additional information necessary to satisfy Owner that the Bidder is adequately prepared to fulfill the Contract.

G. The existence of any judgment, citation, default, finding of non-responsibility or other negative information disclosed by Contactor in its Experience and Qualification Statement or independently discovered by Owner, or Contractor’s failure to provide the certifications required by this Article, will be considered, among all other factors, in determining whether a Contractor is a responsible Bidder for this project. As part of its response, Contractor may submit an explanation of the facts giving rise to the judgment, citation, default, or negative finding, or reasons why the required certifications cannot be provided, and ask Owner to deem the Contractor both responsive and responsible notwithstanding such facts or omissions.

H. The requirements identified above are not an exhaustive or exclusive list of all qualifications required of the Contractor, its Subcontractors, or personnel. The minimum requirements indicated above are in addition to any other requirements contained elsewhere in the Contract Documents and/or typically considered under state or federal procurement law.

I. Owner may, when circumstances warrant, accept any Bidder as a responsible Bidder despite its failure to meet all the minimum standards set out herein. To the extent that special circumstances exist which a Bidder believes render the Bidder a qualified and responsible Bidder for this project, despite the failure to meet one or more of the standards for qualification set out herein, the Bidder may submit a notarized sworn statement explaining the special circumstances and requesting consideration of its Bid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner has no obligation to consider such special circumstances, or to disregard the requirements set forth in this Article and elsewhere in the Contract Documents and deem the Bidder responsible.

J. Bidder must attend a pre-award conference to satisfy Owner that the Bidder is adequately prepared to fulfill the Contract.

K. If a Bidder who otherwise would have been awarded a contract is found non-responsible, a written determination of non-responsibility setting forth the basis of the finding will be prepared by Owner upon request. A copy of the determination will be sent promptly to the non-responsible Bidder. The final determination will be made part of the bid file.

L. The Contractor must self-perform at least 30% of the construction trade work as determined by dollar value. This does not include General Conditions.

11. CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTOR INFORMATION AND LISTING
