Additional information regarding this Project may be accessed at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado.

Such Bids as are received will be opened and read aloud through an on-line conference or meeting platform at a date and time to be identified by Addendum.

Each Bid shall be made on the Bid Form provided in the bid packet and no Bidder may withdraw their Bid for a period of ninety (90) days from and after the date set for opening of bids. Each Bid must be accompanied by a Bid Bond on an approved form in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Bid price, made payable to the City of Centennial, which shall be considered as liquidated damages and shall be forfeited to the City if said Bid is accepted and the Bidder fails to execute the Contract within ten (10) calendar days after the Award by the City. The Bid Bond will be submitted in a separate electronic file. Each Bid must also be accompanied by a completed Questionnaire.

The work herein provided for shall be done under written Contract with the contractor chosen by the City as deemed to be in the best interests of the City. Upon review of Bid prices and the Questionnaires, the City may be required to add or delete portions of Work from this Project. The contractor chosen by the City must perform at least 70% of the Work.

The successful Bidder will be required to furnish, as part of the Contract, insurance certificates in the amount specified in the General Conditions, a Performance, Payment, Maintenance and Warranty Bond in an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum, said bond to be issued by a responsible corporate surety approved by the City, and which shall guarantee the faithful performance of the Construction Contract and the terms and conditions therein contained and shall guarantee the prompt payment of all materials and labor, and protect and save harmless the City from claims and damages of any kind caused by the operations of the Contractor.

Preference is hereby given to materials, supplies, and provisions produced or manufactured in Colorado, quality being equal to articles offered by competitors outside of the State. In accordance with C.R.S. § 8-17-101 and the General Conditions applicable to the work, Colorado labor shall be employed to perform at least eighty percent (80%) of the work. The City also expects each Contractor to self-perform no less than seventy percent (70%) of the work.

www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado

In accordance with Article 19 of Title 8, C.R.S., the City shall apply a comparable percentage disadvantage to each bid received from a Bidder who is not a resident bidder of the State of Colorado (non-resident Bidder) and who is from a state that provides a percentage bidding preference to resident bidders of the non-resident Bidder’s state. Any Bidder may obtain additional information regarding the bid preference from the City’s Contract Administrator or from the web site maintained by the Colorado Department of Personnel. The bid preference shall not be applied to any work that receives federal money.

The bid preference required by Article 19 of Title 8, C.R.S. shall be suspended if such requirement would contravene any treaty, law, agreement or regulation of the United States, or would cause denial of federal moneys or preclude the ability of the City to access federal moneys that would otherwise be available.

Centennial uses the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (RMEPS) at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado to distribute official copies of the Bid Documents for use in preparing Bids. Bidders will be required to register with the website to download the Bid documents and Addenda.

PART 11 – BID FORM

11.01 This Bid Packet contains a complete set of forms and a sample contract for the convenience and reference of Bidders.

11.06 The names of all persons signing the Bidder’s Certification must also be legibly printed or typed below the signature. A bid by a person who affixes to their signature the word “president,” “secretary,” “agent,” or other designation without disclosing their principal may be held to be the bid of the individual signing. When requested by the City, evidence of the authority of the person signing shall be furnished.

11.07 The full name of each person or company interested in the bid shall be listed on the Bidder’s Certification.

11.08 The Bidder’s Certification shall contain an acknowledgment of receipt of all Addenda (the numbers of which shall be filled in).

11.10 The address to which communications regarding the bid are to be directed must be shown.

11.11 All prices must be written in words and expressed in figures.

The cost of appurtenant items of work, material, and equipment not listed separately, not shown on the drawings or not specified as necessary to complete the work in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be considered as included in the unit price bid.

11.12 Bids should be made on each separate item of work shown in this Bid Packet, with reasonable relation to the probable cost of doing the work included in such item. The City reserves the right to reject any bid in case an item or items thereof are obviously unbalanced or appear to be so unbalanced as to affect adversely an interest of the City.

11.13 The quantities provided by the City in Part IV of this Bid Packet, the Bid Form, are approximate and are given only for use in comparing bids and to indicate approximately the total amount of the Construction Contract.

The Work under certain items may be materially greater or less than those predicted in this Bid Packet, as may be necessary in the judgment of the Project Manager to complete the Work contemplated in the Construction Contract. An increase or decrease in the quantity for any item shall not be regarded as grounds for a decrease or increase in the unit prices, except as may be set forth in the Contract Documents.

12.02 Each Bid must be submitted electronically in Adobe portable document format to www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado with the following information in the file name: the Bidder's name, address, the word “BID.” The Bid Security must be submitted in a separate electronic file with the following information in the file name: the Bidder's name and the words “BID SECURITY.” No Bids will be accepted if mailed or hand delivered.

12.04 Oral, telephone, or telegraph bids are invalid and will not receive consideration. No Bidder may submit more than one bid. Multiple bids under different names will not be accepted from one firm or association. Evidence of collusion among Bidders shall be grounds for exclusion of any Bidder who is a participant in any such collusion.

12.05 The City is a Colorado governmental entity. Therefore, all information included in bids and other written information submitted by the Bidder to the City is subject to the provisions of the Colorado Open Records Act, Colorado Revised Statutes Sections 24-72-201, et seq. (“CORA”). Bidders should expect their bid may be viewed by the general public and competitors once submitted to the City. If a Bidder requests any restrictions on the use or inspection of material contained within the bid, the Bidder must:

1. clearly identify and segregate any portion(s) of its bid that it believes constitutes trade secrets, privileged information, and/or confidential commercial, financial, geological or geophysical data, which may not be subject to disclosure under CORA (“Confidential Information”),

2. place a cover page on such segregated Confidential Information requesting that such Confidential Information be restricted from inspection under CORA, and

3. state with such request, on the cover page, the statutory basis supporting the request under CORA

The Bid Form, bid price information or the bid, in its entirety, will not be considered Confidential Information. Any information that will be included in any resulting Construction Contract cannot be considered Confidential Information. Co‐mingling of Confidential Information with information that is not Confidential Information is not acceptable.

If the Bidder fails to satisfy 1 through 3 set forth above, the City may treat the entire bid as a public record available for inspection by the public under CORA. However, if Bidder satisfies 1 through 3, the City intends to redact or withhold such identified and segregated material in response to a CORA request. If the City is subject to a legal challenge (e.g., mediation, litigation) as a result of the redaction or withholding of such Confidential Information, Bidder shall be responsible to enter into an agreement with the City to cover all City costs incurred, including penalties that may be imposed by a judge, to defend its CORA response, with the City retaining full discretion on how to defend and to what extent. If Bidder fails to enter into such agreement, it shall be discretionary with the City whether to defend the legal challenge.

12.06 Bids that are not completed in the form and manner required by this IFB are subject to immediate rejection in the discretion of the City of Centennial.

12.07 The submission of a bid constitutes Bidder’s representation that Bidder has complied with every requirement of this IFB and that the Contract Documents, as provided in this IFB, are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions for performance of the work. Further, the submission of a bid constitutes a Bidder’s acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of the City’s form of Construction Contract, and its General Conditions, included with this Bid Packet. In addition, by submitting a bid, Bidder accepts all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Special Conditions, included as Exhibit C to this IFB. By submitting a bid, Bidder is agreeing to execute the Construction Contract in substantially the same form as presented immediately following Bidder’s receipt of the City’s notice of award of this Construction Contract.

Any requested changes to the Construction Contract must be submitted along with the bid. Changes submitted after the deadline for submitting bids will be disregarded.

12.08 The City shall not be liable for any costs incurred by the Bidder in preparation and submission of the bid, contract negotiations or for any work performed by Bidder prior to the execution of the Construction Contract.

12.09 Nothing in the IFB or any resulting Construction Contract shall be construed to waive, limit, or otherwise modify any governmental immunity that may be available by law to the City, its officials, employees, contractors, or agents, or any other person acting on behalf of the City and, in particular, governmental immunity afforded or available pursuant to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, Title 24, Article 10 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.

PART 13 - MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

13.01 Bids submitted early may be modified or withdrawn by notice to the party receiving bids at the place and prior to the time designated for receipt of bids. Withdrawn bids may be resubmitted up to the time designated for the receipt of bids provided that they are then fully in conformance with these Instructions to Bidders and the Bid Security is in an amount sufficient for the bid as modified or resubmitted.

13.02 If within twenty-four (24) hours after bids are opened, any Bidder files a duly signed, written notice with the City and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the City that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of their bid, that Bidder may withdraw their bid and the Bid Security will be returned. Thereafter, that Bidder will be disqualified from further bidding on the Work.

PART 14 - OPENING OF BIDS

Bids will be publicly opened, read aloud and tabulated by the Purchasing Manager or other City representative(s) as noted above. Bids should be acted upon by the City Manager, or City Council (if required), within ninety (90) days of the opening of the bids. An abstract of the amounts of the bids and major alternates will be made available after the opening of the bids.

PART 15 - BIDS TO REMAIN OPEN

Bids shall remain open until the time specified on page one of these Instructions after the date of the bid opening, but the City will, under other provisions stated in these Instructions or may in its sole discretion, release any bid and return the Bid Security prior to that date.

PART 16 - AWARD OF CONTRACT OR CONTRACTS

16.01 The City reserves the right and discretion to reject any and all bids, to waive any and all informalities and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder, and the right to disregard all nonconforming, nonresponsive or conditional bids. Discrepancies between words and figures will be resolved in favor of the words. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof shall be resolved in favor of the correct sum. Your attention is called to the fact that bids that are not completed in the form and manner required by this IFB are subject to immediate rejection in the discretion of the City.

16.02 In evaluating bids, the City shall consider the qualifications of the Bidders, and whether or not the bids comply with the prescribed requirements. The City reserves the right to reject the bid of any Bidder who does not pass any such evaluation to the City's satisfaction. The City may accept bids in any order or combination and may award each section of the Work to different Bidders.

16.03 The bid of any Bidder that is in arrears to the City upon debt of contract or that is a defaulter, as surety or otherwise, upon any obligation to the City may be rejected.

16.04 If the Construction Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the Bidder whose evaluation by the City indicates to the City that the award will provide the best value and be in the best interests of the City.
