IB-2

do so will not relieve a successful bidder of his obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions of the Contract Documents and to complete the contemplated work for the consideration set forth in his bid.

At the time of the opening of bids each bidder will be presumed to have inspected the site and to have read and to be thoroughly familiar with the Contract Documents (including all addenda). The failure or omission of any bidder to receive or examine any form, instrument, or document shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect to his bid.

Bidders are notified that it is obligatory upon them to obtain by their own means information which they may require as to the existing physical condition, and in particular as to subsurface and ground water conditions. The Owner will make available to the bidder all information obtained by investigations prior to the bid openings, but makes no guarantee with respect to the accuracy of such information, and each bidder in bidding represents that he relies exclusively upon his own investigations, and he makes his bid with a full knowledge of all conditions, and the kinds, quality, and quantity of work required.

6. SUBSURFACE UTILITIES - The approximate locations of certain existing subsurface pipes and structures are indicated on the drawings. The Owner does not guarantee that the locations and/or depths of such utilities are even approximately correct. Contractor must contact “Call

It is understood and agreed that the Owner does not warrant or guarantee that the materials, conditions, and pipes or other structures encountered during construction will be the same as those indicated by the boring samples or by the information given on the drawings.

The bidder must satisfy himself regarding the character, quantities, and conditions of the various materials and the work to be done.

It is understood and agreed that the bidder or the Contractor will not use any of the information made available to him, or obtained in any examination made by him, in any manner as a basis or ground for claim or demand of any nature against the Owner or the Engineer, arising from or by reason of any variance which may exist between the information offered and the actual materials or structures encountered during the construction work.

8. PREPARATION OF PROPOSAL - Proposals must be submitted on the prescribed form. All blank spaces for unit prices, extended totals, and summations must be filled in, in ink or typewritten, in both words and figures.

IB-3

9. ERRORS IN BID - In the event there is a discrepancy between the unit prices (if any) and the extended totals, the unit price shall govern. In the event there is a discrepancy between prices written in words and written in figures, the prices written in words shall govern. In case of error in the bidder’s extended summation, the computed total of the Engineer shall govern.

If an error in any bid item is obvious, and is corroborated by extensions or additions, the Owner may make the appropriate correction and accept the bid.

10. APPROXIMATE QUANTITIES - The quantities given in the Proposal are approximate only, being given as a basis for the uniform comparison of bids, and the Owner does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith.

12. PRICES NOT CHANGED BY CHANGE OF QUANTITIES - An increase or decrease in the quantities listed in the Proposal for any item shall not be regarded as sufficient grounds for an increase or decrease in the unit price of that item, nor in the time allowed for the completion of the work, except as provided in the Contract. The Owner reserves the right to delete portions of the work, or to add to the work, as it deems necessary, and such changes shall be based upon the unit prices bid or upon reasonable prices established by the Engineer.

32. PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTORS - The Contractor must comply with Section 49-41a

(as more fully provided in Article 39 of the General Conditions) of the Connecticut General

Statutes, as to payment to subcontractors.

33. USE OF LOCAL LABOR - In the employment of mechanics, laborers, and workers, in the performance of the Contract, the Contractor shall give preference to citizens who are, and continuously for six months prior to the contract date, have been residents of the Town of

Brookfield; and if no such persons are available; then to residents of the State of Connecticut, if no such persons are available, then to residents of other States, in accordance with Section 31-

52, and 31-53 of the Connecticut General Statutes.

34. SAFETY - Bidders are notified that the Contractor shall be solely responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety precautions and programs necessary to the safe and proper performance of the work and that the Contractor shall be solely responsible for taking all necessary precautions to insure the safety of all employees, subcontractors and other persons, including the public, exposed to the contract work. The Contractor shall comply with all current safety requirements mandated by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA), the

Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT), and any other applicable State statutes.

In addition to any other indemnification provisions contained in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall at all times indemnify and save harmless the Owner, the Town of

Brookfield, The Water Pollution Control Authority, the Engineer, and their officers, agents and employees on account of and from any and all claims, damages, losses, judgments, worker's compensation payments, litigation expenses, and counsel fees arising out of injuries to any person (including death) or damage to property alleged to have been sustained by any person as a result of the acts, omissions, or neglect of the Contractor, its employees or subcontractors. The existence of insurance shall in no way limit the scope of this indemnification. The Contractor shall further be liable to the Owner, the Town of Brookfield, the Engineer, and their officers, agents and employees for all attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses incurred by it or them in enforcing this indemnity provision, provided however, that the Contractor is found to be liable for injury as a result of any act, omission or neglect by it or its employees or subcontractors.

Neither action nor inaction on the part of the Engineer or Owner, or their representatives, shall make them responsible for safe conditions, or make them liable for bodily injury or property damage on this project.

35. STATE REQUIREMENTS - If needed, the Contractor must obtain a General Permit for the

Discharge of Stormwater and Dewatering Waste waters from construction activities, as issued by the State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

IB-8

36. INLAND WETLANDS COMMISSION REQUIREMENTS – BWPCA and/or the project engineer will submit to the inland wetlands commission to obtain a wetland permit for construction. The contractor shall provided supplemental information to the application as applicable including but not limited to construction sequencing and dewatering submittal.

37 BORING LOGS – Boring logs previously conducted on the site are included in Appendix A.

38. PAYMENT OF TAXES, CHARGES AND ASSESSMENTS - Each person who submits a bid shall be deemed to have agreed that the Owner may apply payments otherwise properly due to such person to the reduction of all real estate or personal property taxes and/or sewer charges and assessments (including interest, fees and penalties thereon) owed to the town or Owner by such person, which taxes are delinquent and have been so delinquent for a period of not less than one (1) year. Prior to making any payment to any person awarded the contract, the

Owner shall ascertain from the Tax or Sewer Collector whether such person owes past due taxes on real or personal property or sewer charges or assessments and shall deduct from such payment the amount of taxes or charges (plus penalties, interest and fees thereon) which are delinquent and have been delinquent for a period of at least one (1) year as of the time of withholding.

39. EXEMPTION FROM TAXES - State and Local sales taxes on construction materials required for construction shall not be included in the bid. The Brookfield Water Pollution

Control Authority is exempt from payment of State and Compensating Use Taxes of the State of Connecticut on all materials sold to it, or for the project pursuant to the provisions of the

Contract Documents. The purchase by subcontractors of materials to be furnished pursuant to the provisions of the contract shall be a purchase for resale to the Contractor (either direct or through other subcontractors) and hence exempt from sales tax, regardless of the terms of the contract between the prime contractor and the subcontractor.

40. WIDTH OF OPERATIONS - The bidder’s attention is directed to the width limitations for operations in various portions of the project.

During construction, the Contractor will be required to perform operations as follows:

a) Where so indicated, no activities will be permitted outside the limits of disturbance.

Work must be confined to in-line operation, unless otherwise authorized in writing.
