INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 3

Specific conditions and additional actions necessary to fulfill the requirements of this section are contained in the “General Terms and Conditions for SCC Facilities Construction”.

Specific conditions and additional actions necessary to fulfill the requirements of this section are contained in the “General Terms and Conditions for SCC Facilities Construction”.

Bidders may contact the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries’ regional apprenticeship consultant office for King County at 206-515-2842 to obtain information on available apprenticeship programs, or get general apprenticeship program information at the Labor & Industries website, www.lni.wa.gov/TradesLicensing/Apprenticeship/.

0.02 SITE INVESTIGATION AND CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE WORK

By submitting a bid in response to this solicitation, the bidder acknowledges that it has taken all practicable steps to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and that it has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the work or its cost, including (as applicable) but not limited to (1) conditions bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling, and storage of materials; (2) the availability of labor, water, electric power, and roads; (3) uncertainties of weather or similar physical conditions at the site; (4) the conformation and conditions of the ground; and (5) the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the work. The bidder also 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 exploratory work done by the Owner as applicable, as well as from the drawings and specifications included in the Contract Documents. Any failure of the bidder to take the actions described and acknowledged in this paragraph will not relieve that bidder from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the Work.

By submitting a bid proposal under this solicitation, the bidder affirmatively acknowledges that scheduling the Work will be affected by Owner’s event schedule, and will be subject to Owner’s prior approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The exterior area of the barrel vault will be available for work 24 hours a day.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS Page 9

D. Evaluation: The Owner will evaluate the responsibility documentation submitted by the apparent low bidder to determine if said bidder meets the supplemental bidder responsibility criteria. In making this determination, the Owner will require the bidder to “substantially meet the criteria” taken all together, such that a bidder may be declared to be responsible under the solicitation if the Owner is confident that the bidder is capable of successfully performing the project based on the documentation provided.

E. Appeals: If the Owner determines that the apparent low bidder does not meet the supplemental bidder responsibility criteria specified herein, the Owner shall notify said bidder in writing with the reasons for its determination.

F. Failure of the bidder to submit as part of the bid the names of such subcontractors or to name itself to perform such work shall render the bidder's bid non-responsive and, therefore, void.

0.13 CONTRACT AWARD & EXECUTION

A. Contract Award: The Owner intends to award a contract for the work solicited herein to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the low aggregate amount for the base bid plus selected additive or deductive alternates, and meeting all other bid submittal requirements.

B. Contract Execution: The apparent successful bidder will be expected to return to the

Owner a signed contract, insurance certificate and payment/performance bond(s) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the finalized contract. If said bidder fails to sign all contractual documents or provide the bond(s) and evidence of insurance as required within the time specified, the Owner reserves the right to rescind award of the contract, and award the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder. The contract will only

WORK

GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 4

Owner may, at its sole discretion, order Contractor, in writing, to suspend all or any part of the Work for up to 90 days, or for such longer period as mutually agreed. Upon receipt of this notice, Contractor shall immediately suspend the Work and take all reason-able steps to minimize the costs of performance di-rectly attributable to such suspension. Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Time, or Contract Sum, or both, for any increases in the time or cost of performance directly attributable to the suspension, provided Contractor complies with all requirements set forth in Part 7.

If Contractor fails or refuses to perform its obliga-tions in accordance with the Contract Documents, Owner may order Contractor, in writing, to stop the Work, until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. Contractor shall not be entitled to an equita-ble adjustment in the Contract Time or Contract Sum for any increased cost or time of performance at-tributable to Contractor’s failure or refusal to per-form.

3.4 DELAY

A. No default by Owner or Contractor shall occur for any delay or failure of performance, other than the payment of money, if such delay or failure was caused by an act of Force Majeure.

Acts of Force Majeure are as follows:

1. Acts of God or the public enemy;

2. Fire or other casualty for which neither

Contractor nor any Subcontractor is respon-sible;

3. Quarantine or epidemic;

4. Strike or defensive lockout;

5. Unusually severe weather conditions which could not have been reasonably anticipat-ed; and

Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Sum resulting from an act of Force Majeure.

B. Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable ad-justment in Contract Time, and may be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Sum, if the cost or time of performance is changed due solely to the fault or negligence of Owner. For these equitable adjustments, Contractor must make a request according to Part 7. Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment in Con-tract Time or in the Contract Sum for any delay or failure of performance if caused by Contrac-tor or anyone for whose acts Contractor is re-sponsible.

C. Contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to prevent and mitigate the effects of any delay.

3.5 LABOR DISPUTES

Contractor shall promptly notify Owner of any actual or potential labor dispute.

3.6 DAMAGES FOR FAILURE TO ACHIEVE TIMELY

COMPLETION

A. It is acknowledged that the Contractor’s failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time provided by the Con-tract Documents will cause the Owner to incur substantial economic damages and losses of types and in amounts which are impossible to compute and ascertain with certainty as a basis for recovery by the Owner of actual damages, and that liquidated damages represent a fair, reasonable and appropriate estimate thereof.

Accordingly, in lieu of actual damages for such delay, the Contractor agrees that liquidated damages may be assessed and recovered by the Owner as against Contractor and its Surety, in the event of delayed completion and without
