IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BIDDER TO CHECK THE WEBSITE ON A TIMELY BASIS.

1.1 Bid Preparation:

The Eugene Water & Electric Board's environmental policy directs the utility to conduct its business in an environmentally sensitive, sustainable and responsible way. Pursuant to this policy, EWEB encourages the bidder to submit their bid using materials (i.e. paper, dividers, binders, brochures, supplemental information, etc.) that contain postconsumer recycled content and are readily recyclable. Use of materials that cannot be readily recycled, such as PVC (vinyl) binders, spiral bindings, plastic or glossy covers and/or dividers is discouraged.

Further, bidders are strongly encouraged to duplex print whenever possible. Color printing is acceptable, but not required, unless content will not display correctly.

a. Compliance. All bids must be sealed and received by EWEB’s Purchasing Department (“EWEB” herein used synonymously with the term "OWNER" as used in the General Conditions) prior to the bid closing time and date. Bids that are received after the bid closing time and date may not be considered.

All bid and pricing information shall be typewritten or in ink and shall be signed by an authorized representative of the company. Alterations (including whiteout) or erasures shall be initialed by the person signing the bid.

b. Method of Bidding - Unit and Total Price. The price per item shall be clearly shown in the space provided. The pricing shall be extended to show the total when required. In https://oregonbuys.gov/bso case of errors in extension, the unit price shall prevail. The written unit price shall prevail over the numerical unit price.

EWEB reserves the right to reject stipulated and/or unbalanced bids that are determined by EWEB to not be in its best interest.

c. Completion. The bidder shall show in the space, when provided in the bid form, the earliest completion date on which completion of the work can be guaranteed. Otherwise the bidder certifies that the work will be complete according to the completion time stated in the bidding documents.

EWEB reserves the right to consider availability and delivery (completion) time in determining award of this Contract.

d. Examination of Plans, Specifications, and Work Site. It is understood that a bidder, before submitting a bid, has made a careful examination of all plans, specifications and Contract documents, that the bidder has a complete understanding of the quality and quantity of materials and the character of the work required; and that the bidder has made a careful examination of the location and conditions of the worksite and the sources of supply for materials.

It is further understood that a bid awarded hereunder is subject to EWEB being able to

(1) comply with all zoning ordinances, or obtain rezoning of the property where necessary; and (2) comply with local building code restrictions and conditions for the structure or structures contemplated in the bid, any or all of which conditions may be contained in the Contract and may result in termination of the Contract, if such conditions are not satisfied. EWEB will in no case be responsible for any loss or for any unanticipated costs that may be incurred by the Contractor as a result of the Contractor's failure to acquire full information about work conditions prior to submitting an offer to perform the work.

e. Substitutions. When a brand name is required by the specifications, all bidders shall provide the specified product unless an alternative product is allowed per the specifications and in which case, must be of equal quality, merit and utility (as determined in EWEB's sole judgment). Bidders may be required to provide information to EWEB to determine product acceptability prior to award of Contract.

f. Interpretation of Contract Documents. If a bidder finds discrepancies in errors or omissions from the plans, specifications or Contract documents, or has doubt as to their meaning, the bidder shall at once notify EWEB. EWEB will then investigate the validity of the claim, and will determine whether an addendum will be issued (see Protest or Request for Clarification and Changes to the Bid Specifications below).

g. Protest or Request for Clarification/Changes of Specifications and/or Bidding

Requirements (EWEB Rule 5-0260).

Request for Clarification and Changes to the Bid Specifications Prior to the deadline for submitting questions, Bidders may, in writing/email, request clarification of or changes to any bid specifications or Contract terms. Questions and responses that present material information to all Bidders will be posted via formal, written addendum. EWEB’s clarification to an Offeror, whether orally or in writing, does not change the terms of the solicitation and is not binding on EWEB unless EWEB amends the solicitation document by written addendum.

Protest of Specifications/Bid Requirements

Bidders may, in writing, protest bid specifications or Contract terms and conditions.

Unless stated differently in the bidding document, this written request for change must be received by the Purchasing Analyst indicated in the solicitation document no later than ten (10) days prior to the bid closing date. The written protest shall include the reasons for the protest. Envelopes containing bid protests shall be marked as follows:

Bid Specification Protest Bid Number 21-224-PW Fire Detection Systems at Carmen Powerhouse

h. Filling in Bid Forms. The bid response shall be made on the form provided in the Invitation to Bid and as prescribed by EWEB. The bidder may not alter, modify or change the bid form, except as directed by bid addendum. Any other form of offer is invalid.

Bidders are required to use the form provided within the Invitation to Bid, Section 00400.

Bids may be rejected if they contain any recapitulation or restating of the work to be done, disclaimers, exceptions or other limitations or stipulations.

i. Bids are Offers. The bid is the bidder's offer to enter into a contract, which, if the bid is accepted for award, binds the bidder to a contract and the terms and conditions contained in the Invitation to Bid. A bidder shall not make the bid contingent upon EWEB's acceptance of specifications or Contract terms that conflict with or are in addition to those required in the bid Documents (except as noted in Time for Bid Acceptance, Section 1.3(g) below).

j. Proprietary Information/Public Disclosure. Materials submitted in response to this

Invitation to Bid and/or the Contract shall become the property of EWEB and are, therefore, subject to public records laws.

In the event that a bidder desires to claim that portions of its submittal are exempt from public disclosure, under the provisions of ORS 192.501, it is incumbent upon the bidder to identify those portions in a transmittal letter. The transmittal letter must identify the page and the particular exemption(s) from disclosure upon which the claim is made.

Each page claimed to be exempt from disclosure must be clearly identified, on the page, by the words: "This data constitutes a trade secret under ORS 192.501(2), and shall not be disclosed except in accordance with the Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.

If EWEB receives a request for public records disclosure of the information so designated as confidential by bidder, EWEB will make a reasonable attempt to notify Bidder of the request so Bidder/Contractor may claim any exemption Bidder is entitled to under applicable laws.

The Oregon Public Records Law exempts from disclosure trade secrets, and the exemption from disclosure applies "unless the public interest requires disclosure in the particular instance," ORS 192.501(2). Therefore, non-disclosure of documents or any portion of a document submitted as part of this solicitation may depend upon official or judicial determinations made pursuant to the Oregon Public Records Law.

In any event, EWEB will, to the fullest extent permitted by Oregon Law, assist the Bidder in protecting proprietary information submitted pursuant to this Invitation to Bid."

1.2 Bid Submission:

a. Bid Submission.

d. Security to be Furnished by Each Bidder. When the bid price exceeds $100,000, or when otherwise required by the Contract Documents, the bid shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check or bid bond in an amount equal to 10% of the total amount of the bid as bid security to ensure that the Bidder, if offered, will execute the Contract agreement and provide the performance bond and payment bond as required. The lowest responsible and responsive Bidder will be required to provide a performance/payment bond in an amount equal to 100% of the Contract award if the bid price exceeds $100,000 or if otherwise required in the bid documents.

EWEB reserves the right to hold the bid security of all Bidders until the Notice to Proceed is issued or for ninety (90) calendar days after bid closing, whichever is sooner (unless a longer or shorter period is specified in the Invitation to Bid.)

Should the Bidder fail to execute the Contract agreement and furnish the satisfactory performance bond and payment bond after the bid has been accepted, the bid security shall become the property of EWEB.

e. Responsibility. The competency and Responsibility of bidders and of their proposed

Subcontractors will be considered in making the award.

Unless otherwise specifically allowed in the bidding documents, no changes or modifications to an offer may be made after the bid closing date & time.
