This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) specification document issued by the City of Waynesboro, Virginia for the construction of the WQIF Constructed Wetlands Best Management Practice (BMP), Commission Number 250045, with engineering services provided by Wiley|Wilson. The project consists of constructing a new constructed wetlands best management practice and extended detention pond at Ridgeview Park in Waynesboro, Virginia. The specification document includes the complete bidding requirements and contract documents necessary for competitive sealed bidding, encompassing general conditions, supplementary conditions, and detailed technical specifications across multiple divisions including site clearing, earthwork, concrete, drainage piping, soil preparation, erosion and sediment control, and plant installation. The document establishes the required bid form format, bid attachments including contractor qualifications, performance bonds, payment bonds, and evidence of state licensing authority. The IFB specifies that bids will remain open for acceptance for 60 days following bid opening, with a lump sum pricing structure requiring bidders to propose a single fixed price for all work. The contract timeframe is established through the Notice to Proceed, which commences the contract times on a date to be determined by the Owner, with substantial completion and final payment readiness dates to be calculated from that commencement date as specified in the final agreement.

The bidding documents require submission of performance and payment bonds, contractor's license verification, and evidence of authority to conduct business in Virginia. All bidders must certify that they have conducted site visits and thoroughly examined existing reports including geotechnical data, and acknowledge that their bid prices are based on complete understanding of project conditions and requirements. The document establishes standard EJCDC contract terms and conditions governing contractor responsibilities for quality, safety, progress documentation, waste management, and closeout procedures. Payment procedures follow standard Application for Payment protocols with retainage provisions, and liquidated damages provisions are incorporated for schedule delays. The project contact is Gus Hollberg, PE, at 434.455.3207 or ghollberg@wileywilson.com, and the Owner's mailing address is listed as 503 West Main Street, Waynesboro, VA 22980, with administrative offices at 548 Rosser Ave., Waynesboro, VA 22980.

GUIDELINES FOR USE OF EJCDC® C-410,

BID FORM FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

1.0 PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THE DOCUMENT

EJCDC® C-410, Bid Form for Construction Contract, is used to prepare the Bid Form for a specific project

(contract). The Bid Form assumes a competitive bidding process and the use of a Project Manual that contains the following documentary information for a construction project:

� Bidding Requirements which include the Advertisement or invitation to bid, the Instructions to

Bidders, the Bid Form, and Bid Form attachments (if any) such as a Bid Bond Form and

Qualifications Statement; and

� Contract Documents, which include the Agreement, Performance Bond and Payment Bond, the

General Conditions, the Supplementary Conditions, the Drawings, and the Specifications. Note also that the Supplementary Conditions and other Contract Documents, and the Instructions to

Bidders, may refer to other documents that are provided to or made available to Bidders for reference purposes, but which are not Contract Documents.

The terms �Bidding Documents,� �Bidding Requirements,� and �Contract Documents� are defined in

Article 1 of the General Conditions. Bidding Requirements and the Contract Documents together are referred to as the Bidding Documents.

The Bidding Requirements are not Contract Documents. Much of their substance pertains to the relationships prior to the award of the Contract, and has little effect or impact thereafter. Contracts may even be awarded without going through a bidding process, and thus have no Bidding Requirements. For this reason, the Contract Documents are written to function without including the Bidding Requirements.

The Bid Form itself ordinarily should not be included as one of the Contract Documents. In most cases the pricing information contained in the Bid Form is transferred into the Agreement. However, there are situations where, to avoid errors incident to rekeying, it may prove wise to attach the Bid Form (or a reproduced copy of it) as an exhibit to the Agreement. The likelihood of such errors increases with many unit-price bid items. The Bid Form should not contain basic contractual provisions since it is only an offer to perform the Work as required by and in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Bid Form must be included in the list of Contract Documents in the Agreement when the Bid Form is incorporated into the Contract.

Likewise, as noted in the Notes to User in this document, changes in the Bidder�s representations and certifications in this document should be coordinated with the Contractor�s representations and certifications in the Agreement.

2.0 OTHER DOCUMENTS

EJCDC documents are intended to be used as a system and changes in one EJCDC document may require a corresponding change in other documents. Other EJCDC documents may also serve as a reference to provide insight or guidance for the preparation of this document.

Suggested standard provisions in the Bid Form are accompanied by Notes to User and bracketed notes and prompts that are provided to assist in preparing the Bid Form prior to distribution to prospective

Bidders. These provisions have been coordinated with the other forms produced by EJCDC.

Guidelines Page 2 of 3

While preparing this document for use on a specific project, the user may decide to revise or supplement some of the standard provisions. When such changes are made, the user should review whether corresponding changes are needed in the following related EJCDC documents:

3.0 ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION

All parties involved in a construction project benefit significantly from a standardized approach in the location of subject matter throughout the documents. Experience confirms the danger of addressing the same subject matter in more than one location; doing so frequently leads to confusion and unanticipated legal consequences. Careful attention should be given to the guidance provided in

EJCDC® N-122/AIA® A521, Uniform Location of Subject Matter (2012 Edition) when preparing documents.

EJCDC® N-122/AIA® A521 is available at no charge from the EJCDC website, www.ejcdc.org, and from the websites of EJCDC�s sponsoring organizations.

If CSI MasterFormat� is used for organizing the Project Manual, consult CSI MasterFormat� for the appropriate document number (e.g., under 00 11 00, Advertisements and Invitations), and accordingly number the document and its pages.

4.0 GUIDANCE NOTES AND NOTES TO USER

EJCDC Documents include Guidance Notes and Notes to User to provide guidance regarding the preparation of Project specific documents. These notes are intended for use by the User in the preparation of the document and are not intended to be included in the completed document. Guidance Notes and

Notes to User are lightly shaded to distinguish them from the proposed text of the Bid Form. As a project-specific Bid Form is prepared and made ready for issuance to bidders, all shaded text (Guidance Notes and

Notes to Users) should be deleted.

Guidance Notes provide information regarding the paragraphs which follow, including reasons for the article, discussions of best practices, and alternate approaches for different situations.

Guidelines Page 3 of 3

Notes to User provide specific information for editing the document. When alternate paragraphs for different situation are presented, explanations on how to select the most appropriate alternate will be provided, with direction to delete those paragraphs not used.

5.0 EDITING THIS DOCUMENT

5.1 It is intended that this document be edited for each Contract. Guidelines for editing include:

A. Remove the cover pages which consist of the title pages and these Guidelines for Use.

B. Type in required information as indicated by brackets ([ ]). Bracketed text will usually provide instructions for what is to be inserted in place of the brackets. Delete brackets and change formatting to match existing text after project specific text has been added, e.g. change

�[Project Name]� to �Peach Street Renovation� (without brackets or bold, or quotation marks).

C. Fill in blanks, if any. It will be more common for information to be inserted by user to be indicated by a prompt in brackets, as described in Paragraph B above, rather than by an underline-style blank.

D. Most Notes to User are presented before the text to which they apply; some Notes to Users are interspersed in the text, usually within brackets. Delete all �Notes to User� after reviewing each note and taking appropriate action. Delete all associated numbering and brackets.

E. Complete tables.

F. Delete Guidance Notes.

PERFORMANCE BOND

1.0 PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THE DOCUMENT

The Performance Bond is the document in which the Contractor and Surety provide assurances to the Owner regarding the performance and completion of the Contractor’s obligations under the construction contract. The Performance Bond establishes the responsibilities of the Surety with regard to a default in performance by the Contractor.

The Owner typically provides the Performance Bond form to prospective Bidders or Contractors, sometimes with some of the Project-specific information (for example, Owner’s correct legal entity name) inserted in the form. After a Contractor has been selected, the Contractor’s Surety issues the actual executed Performance Bond, based on the form, and the Contractor submits the executed Performance Bond to Owner at the time the Contract is signed.

For additional information regarding C-610, see EJCDC® C-001, Commentary on the 2018 EJCDC Construction Documents (2018).

Notes: (1) Provide supplemental execution by any additional parties, such as joint venturers. (2) Any singular reference to Contractor, Surety, Owner, or other party is considered plural where applicable.

1. The Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, except when applicable to participate in a conference as provided in Paragraph 3.

3. If there is no Owner Default under the Construction Contract, the Surety’s obligation under this Bond will arise after:

3.1. The Owner first provides notice to the Contractor and the Surety that the Owner is considering declaring a Contractor Default. Such notice may indicate whether the Owner is requesting a conference among the Owner, Contractor, and Surety to discuss the Contractor’s performance.

If the Owner does not request a conference, the Surety may, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Owner’s notice, request such a conference. If the Surety timely requests a conference, the Owner shall attend. Unless the Owner agrees otherwise, any conference requested under this Paragraph 3.1 will be held within ten (10) business days of the Surety’s receipt of the Owner’s notice. If the Owner, the Contractor, and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction Contract, but such an agreement does not waive the Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default;

3.2. The Owner declares a Contractor Default, terminates the Construction Contract and notifies the Surety; and

3.3. The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract to the Surety or to a contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract.

4. Failure on the part of the Owner to comply with the notice requirement in Paragraph 3.1 does not constitute a failure to comply with a condition precedent to the Surety’s obligations, or release the Surety from its obligations, except to the extent the Surety demonstrates actual prejudice.

5. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the Surety shall promptly and at the Surety’s expense take one of the following actions:

5.1. Arrange for the Contractor, with the consent of the Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract;

5.2. Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or independent contractors;

5.3. Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the Owner and a contractor selected with the Owners concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner the amount of damages as described in Paragraph 7 in excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the Owner as a result of the Contractor Default; or

5.4. Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances:

5.4.1 After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to the Owner and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, make payment to the Owner; or

5.4.2 Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner, citing the reasons for denial.

6. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 5 with reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond seven days after receipt of an additional written notice from the Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in Paragraph 5.4, and the Owner refuses the payment, or the Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice, the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.

7. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, then the responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner will not be greater than those of the Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the Surety will not be greater than those of the Owner under the Construction Contract. Subject to the commitment by the Owner to pay the Balance of the Contract Price, the Surety is obligated, without duplication for:

7.1. the responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and completion of the Construction Contract;

7.2. additional legal, design professional, and delay costs resulting from the Contractor’s Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 5; and

7.3. liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the Contractor.

8. If the Surety elects to act under Paragraph 5.1, 5.3, or 5.4, the Surety’s liability is limited to the amount of this Bond.

9. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations of the Contractor that are unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price will not be reduced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action will accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

10. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.

11. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond must be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the work or part of the work is located and must be instituted within two years after a declaration of Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum periods of limitations available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit will be applicable.

12. Notice to the Surety, the Owner, or the Contractor must be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the page on which their signature appears.

13. When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in the location where the construction was to be performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement will be deemed deleted therefrom and provisions conforming to such

statutory or other legal requirement will be deemed incorporated herein. When so furnished, the intent is that this Bond will be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common law bond.
