Subcontractor Payment Reporting Requirements: The awarded Contractor is obligated to complete the vendor registration in Access Equity. Access Equity is a secure online vendor management system (B2Gnow). Confidential information (Tax ID, etc.) will not be published. Prime Contractors that have previously registered with B2Gnow for any public entity must verify the system has updated information.

Contractors can access the system at https://omwbe.diversitycompliance.com/ or through a direct link on the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) website at:

https://omwbe.wa.gov/. Every month the Prime Contractor is required to report payments made to all Subcontractors and Subconsultants through the Access Equity system. This monthly reporting information includes total payment in dollars made to the Subcontractor and Subconsultant, payment dates, and any additional information required to verify payment to Subcontractors and Subconsultants. The Prime Contractor will enter this payment information into the Access Equity system, and the Subcontractors and Subconsultants will verify this payment information in the system. Online training is available through the Access Equity/B2Gnow system. This requirement applies to both Prime Contractors, Subcontractors, and Subconsultants.

Apprentice Utilization: Mandatory apprentice utilization of at least 15% of the total labor hours worked on the contract is required. Apprentices must be registered as apprentices with the State Apprenticeship and Training Council. Bidders may contact the Department of Labor & Industries, Apprenticeship Program at 360-902-5320 to obtain information on apprenticeship programs. The Contract includes monetary incentives for meeting the goals, and monetary penalties for not meeting the goals. The costs associated with meeting these requirements are included in the bid amount. Prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor will be required to submit to the Owner an Apprenticeship Utilization Plan.

Business Equity: The University of Washington is committed to providing optimal opportunity for participation in contracting by Business Equity Enterprises (BEE). The University of Washington defines a Business Equity Enterprise (BEE) as “any entity licensed to do business in the State of Washington, including a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, or other legal entity that meets any of the following:”

Certified Business Enterprise (CBE): Any business enterprise certified with the Washington State Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises.

Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Business Enterprise (LGBTBE): More than 50% owned and controlled by at least one person who is a member of the LGBT community.

Minority Business Enterprise (MBE): More than 50% owned and controlled by at least one person who is a member of one or more of the following minority groups:

• Asian Pacific American

• Black American

• Hispanic American

• Native American

• Subcontinent Asian American

Minority Women’s Business Enterprise (MWBE): More than 50% owned and controlled by at least one woman who is a member of one or more of the above minority groups.

Veteran’s Business Enterprise (VBE): Certified with the Washington State Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA).

Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE): More than 50% owned and controlled by one or more women.

The University of Washington has determined that an overall aspirational goal of 20% Business Equity Enterprise (BEE) utilization, inclusive of 15% minority and women-owned business utilization, is practicable and attainable on this construction project; that goal is negotiable based upon the specialized nature of the work and the relative availability of BEE to perform the specific work scopes identified in this project. The University of Washington welcomes the participation of all BEE, irrespective of gross revenues, including those that are self-designated and those that are state (OMWBE) certified.

Participation may be on a direct basis in response to this invitation to bid, or as a subcontractor or supplier.

Safety Plans: Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor will be required to submit to the Owner a copy of its company safety program. See Modifications to the General Conditions, Part 5 for details.

B. The Project site is available for inspection for prospective bidders at a pre-bid site meeting and walk-through, as indicated in the Advertisement for Bids, and existing conditions should be examined. This will be the only opportunity for bidders to visit the project site.

C. Bidder acknowledges that it has satisfied itself as to the character, quality and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site, including all exploratory work done by Owner, as well as from the drawings and specifications made a part of these Contract Documents.

D. Bidder acknowledges that adjoining areas will be conducting normal operations during the work.

Bidder should anticipate pedestrian and traffic congestion, limited parking, and the requirement that the work be coordinated with ongoing operations.

E. Bidder acknowledges that its bid is based upon a schedule and assumptions which incorporate these conditions.

F. Owner assumes no responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made by bidder based on the information made available by Owner. Should a bidder find discrepancies or omissions in the drawings or specifications, or should bidder be in doubt as to their meaning, bidder shall at once notify the Owner.

Section 00 21 00

D. Bidder shall provide the names of the licensed subcontractors and proof of license with whom the bidder, if awarded the contract, will subcontract for the performance of the work of: HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), plumbing as described in chapter 18.106 RCW, and electrical as described in chapter 19.28 RCW, or to name itself for the work if it is licensed to perform the work for which it has named itself. Errors identified by the Owner in the proof of license information must be corrected by the bidder within 48 hours of bid submission. The Bidder shall not list more than one subcontractor for each category of work identified, unless subcontractors vary with bid alternates, in which case the bidder must indicate which subcontractor will be used for which alternate. Failure of the bidder to submit as part of the bid the names of such subcontractors or to name itself to perform such work or the naming of two or more subcontractors to perform the same work shall render the bidder’s bid nonresponsive and, therefore, void. The requirement of this section to name the bidders’ proposed heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and electrical subcontractors applies only to subcontractors who will contract directly with the Bidder.

E. Bidder shall submit with within 48 hours of the published bid submittal time, as amended by addenda, Part II of its Bid Form, the names of the subcontractors with whom the bidder, if awarded the contract, will subcontract for performance of the work of structural steel installation and rebar installation.

Part II of the Bid Form shall be emailed to PDGbids@uw.edu.

F. The cost of trench safety systems for trench excavation that exceeds a depth of four feet must be identified as a lump sum amount on the Bid Form as well as included in the Base Bid amount.

The costs of trench safety systems shall not be considered as incidental to any other contract item, and any attempt to include the trench safety systems as an incidental cost is prohibited.

Identification of this amount is an acknowledgment that the bidder has considered proper safety provisions in the estimate but does not relieve the bidder of responsibility for full compliance with all laws and statutes regardless of their actual cost. If this project will involve trench excavation in excess of a depth of four feet, bidder must include a lump sum dollar amount. “N/A” and ‘zero” are not responsive.

G. Bidders shall acknowledge all addenda by identifying the addendum number(s) in the space provided on the Bid Form. Notwithstanding any automatic notification methods utilized by Bidder, Bidder is responsible for checking Owner’s Workday Strategic Sourcing website for any addenda issued up to and until the bid due date and time specified in Section 00 11 00.

H. Bidder shall include in the bid all allowances provided in the Bid Form. Owner will pay the difference if the actual cost exceeds the allowance.

4. TAXES

The bid shall include all taxes imposed by law except Washington State Sales Tax. Sales tax shall not be included in the bid price, except that the retail sales tax upon sales and rentals to prime contractors and subcontractors of tools, equipment, and material primarily for use by the Contractor rather than for resale as a component part of the finished structure, shall be included in the bid price. A proportionate amount of State sales tax will be added to each progress payment, collected from Owner, and paid to the State by Contractor.

5. BID GUARANTEE

Bidder shall furnish a bid guarantee in the form of a firm commitment, such as bid bond, postal money order, cash or cashier's check payable to Owner, in the amount of at least 5% of the base bid. Owner reserves the right to hold the bid guarantees of all bidders until the successful bidder has entered into the contract and furnished the required bonds and insurance certificates, or for a period of 60 days, whichever is the shorter time.

The Greenbusch Group, Inc.

May 15, 2026

Section 00 21 00

6. FILING FEES

Applicable state laws concerning prevailing wages, hours, workers' compensation and other conditions of employment are called to the attention of bidders for their compliance. Bidder shall include in the bid any filing fees required to comply with applicable labor laws.

7. SPECIFIED PRODUCTS

Bids must be based upon use of items named in the specifications, or approved equals or substitutions.

In certain cases, specific items have been named because of operational or maintenance considerations; approval of equals or substitutions should not be assumed.

Requests for approval of equals or substitutions must be made in writing and received by the A/E at least 5 days prior to the date of bid due date and time . Said request must include complete descriptions, technical data, and performance records. Any approval of the proposed equal or substitution will be made by addendum issued to all bidders. See Section 01 25 00, Substitution Procedures, for instructions.

8. SUBMISSION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

A. Bids and bid modifications shall be submitted in Workday Strategic Sourcing or as specified in the Advertisement for Bids.

B. Part II of the Bid Form may be modified by emailing a revised Part II if received prior to the deadline for submittal of Part II.

C. Receipt of bids and bid modifications by telegraph, facsimile, telephone, or orally will not be considered, with the exception of Part II of the Bid Form, which must be submitted by email to PDGbids@uw.edu when required.

D. A bidder may withdraw its bid through Workday Strategic Sourcing website before the bid due date and time..

9. LATE SUBMISSIONS

A. Any bid, bid modification or request to withdraw a bid which is received after the deadlines set forth herein will not be considered.

B. The only acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt is when the submission is received and logged by Workday Strategic Sourcing or other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by Owner.

10. BID EVALUATION

Bids which are incomplete, or which are conditioned in any way, or which contain erasures, alterations, or items not called for in the Bid Form, or which are not in conformity with the law or with these Instructions, shall be rejected as nonresponsive if the irregularity is material and may be rejected as nonresponsive if the irregularity is not material. Failure to submit Part II of the Bid Form within the allotted times as described in the Advertisement for Bid, Section 00 11 00, shall render the entire bid nonresponsive.

After the public bid reading, bids will be checked for correctness of bid item price extensions and the total bid price. A discrepancy between the bid item price and the extended amount of any bid item shall be resolved by accepting the bid unit price as correct. The summation of extensions, corrected where necessary, will be used for the purposes of determining the low bidder.

mailto:PDGbids@uw.edu

The Greenbusch Group, Inc.

May 15, 2026

Section 00 21 00

The Bid Form identifies line items for unit bid amounts for time and material pricing (Column A). Each line item includes a column (Column B) with estimated quantities to be used for bid evaluation. The final column (Column C) is the cost extension resulting from multiplying the Bidder’s unit bid amounts (Column A) by the estimated quantity (Column B). The bidder shall complete Columns A and C and total all amounts in Column C to obtain the total base bid amount. All extensions, and the total base bid amount, will be verified and corrected, if required, by the Owner before award.

If the bid includes a supplemental schedule of unit prices for labor and materials, or other items for the purpose of establishing a cost basis for unforeseen contract changes, Owner reserves the right to reject, without impairing the balance of the bid, any or all such predetermined unit prices.

Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informalities or nonmaterial irregularities in the bids received.

The determination of the low responsive bid shall be made by Owner based upon any combination of the base bid and alternates which, in Owner's sole discretion, is in Owner's best interest considering price, schedule and other factors. The numbering of the alternates in the Bid Form bears no relationship to the order in which the alternates may be selected by Owner.

In accordance with RCW 39.04.380, for a public works bid received from a nonresident contractor from a state that provides an in-state percentage bidding preference, a Comparable Percentage Disadvantage (CPD) will be applied to the bid of that nonresident contractor. The CPD is the percent advantage provided by the nonresident contractor’s home state. For the purpose of determining the successful bidder, Owner will multiply the nonresident contractor bid amount by the CPD. The “bid amount” shall be the total of the base bid and all accepted alternate bid items. The CPD shall be added to the nonresident contractor bid amount to establish the Nonresident Disadvantage Total. The Nonresident Disadvantage Total shall be compared to the Washington state contractor bid amounts.

See example below:

Alaska Nonresident Contractor Bid Amount $100,000 Multiplied by the Alaska CPD x 0.05

Alaska CPD Total $ 5,000

Alaska Nonresident Contractor Bid Amount $100,000 Alaska CPD Total + $5,000

Nonresident Disadvantage Total $105,000

If the Nonresident Disadvantage Total is lower than all other Washington contractor bid amounts, the Alaska nonresident contractor is the low bidder and will be awarded a contract for the bid amount of $100,000, provided that they are determined to be a responsive and responsible bidder.

If the Nonresident Disadvantage Total is higher than a Washington contractor bid amount, the Washington bidder will be awarded a contract for the bid amount, provided that they are determined to be a responsive and responsible bidder.

11. LOW RESPONSIBLE BIDDER

A. It is the intent of Owner to award a contract to the low responsible bidder. Before award, the bidder must meet the following bidder responsibility criteria to be considered a responsible bidder. The bidder may be required by the Owner to submit documentation demonstrating compliance with the criteria. The bidder must:

1. Have a current certificate of registration in compliance with chapter 18.27 RCW, 18.106 RCW, 70.87 RCW or 19.28 RCW which must have been in effect at the time of bid submittal.

7. Not have been found out of compliance by the Washington state apprenticeship and training council for working apprentices out of ratio, without appropriate supervision, or outside their approved work processes as outlined in their standards of apprenticeship under chapter

49.04 RCW for the one-year period immediately preceding the first date of advertising for this project.

12. CONTRACT AWARD AND EXECUTION

The formal acceptance by the Owner of the lowest responsive bid of a responsible bidder will be in the form of a notice of award of public works contract issued by the Owner to the bidder. Within 7 calendar days of the notice of award date, bidder shall submit an executed Contract (see Appendix A); certificate of insurance and endorsements as required in the Contract Documents; and Payment and Performance Bonds using AIA Document A312, most current edition, or other form acceptable to Owner, in Contract Award Amount plus Washington State Sales Tax. If the successful bidder, after award of the Contract, fails to execute all Contract Documents or provide insurance documentation and bonds as required within the time specified, Owner may revoke award of the Contract and the bid guarantee may be retained by Owner.
