Bid Schedule Instructions

BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: This Bid Proposal is comprised of one schedule. Before preparing the bid, carefully read the Solicitation Provisions and the following:

• Insert a numeric unit bid price for each pay item for which a quantity appears in the bid schedule. Unit bid prices should be quoted no more precisely than the nearest cent (2 decimal places). Unit bid prices quoted more precisely will be rounded up to the nearest cent by the Government

• Multiply the unit price by the quantity for each pay item and show the amount bid.

When the words “Lump Sum” appear as a unit bid price, insert an amount for each lump sum pay item.

• Total all amounts bid for each pay item and show the Construction Cost Total on the space provided on the last page of each schedule or option.

• Also show the Construction Cost Total for each schedule/option as well as the combined Total of each Schedule and the Option in the spaces provided on the Bid Summary page.

NOTE: If the amount bid for a pay item is inconsistent with the product of the unit price provided by the bidder and the quantity provided by the Government, the unit price will govern and the Government will determine a corrected amount bid for the pay item by multiplying the unit price by the quantity.

Basis for Award

To be eligible for award of contract, the offeror shall submit prices for each item necessary to complete all contract work in Schedule A.

Accordingly, award of contract, if made, will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, if funds are available.

A-4

Partnering

A Partnership recognizes the Government and the Contractor are both responsible and can affect the successful completion of this project. Partnering is a vehicle to ensure the partnership has structure and quality. It recognizes the strengths of each party and uses those strengths to identify and achieve shared goals. One of the primary objectives of Partnering is to facilitate the resolution of disputes in a timely, professional, and non-adversarial manner with the outcome focused on achieving those shared goals.

CFLHD supports the concepts and tenets of Partnering and as such is encouraging the Contractors and it’s subcontractors to establish a Partnering relationship on this project.

A formal Partnering meeting can help facilitate this relationship by helping do document the parties’ common purpose and goals, and ensuring alignment. The goals are mutually agreed upon and address effective and efficient performance within the scope of the contract.

Participation in a formal Partnering meeting is voluntary. Costs of implementing and maintaining the partnership would be agreed to by both parties as described in Subsection 103.05 Partnering of the FP-24. Costs of partnering would be in addition to the contract award amount.

Please indicate your desire to participate in a formal partnering meeting on this project.

(___) We would like to participate in a formal partnering meeting.

(___) We do not want to participate in a formal partnering meeting.

A-5

A-6

Bidder/Offeror please note: Before preparing the bid, carefully read the Solicitation Provisions.

Insert a unit bid price, in figures, for each pay item for which a quantity appears in the bid schedule.

Multiply the unit price by the quantity for each pay item and show the amount bid. Should any mathematical check made by the Government show a mistake in the amount bid, the corrected unit price extension shall govern. When the word "LPSM" (Lump Sum) appears as a unit bid price, insert an amount for each lump sum pay item. When a sum based on a fixed rate appears for any pay item in the amount bid column, include the Government inserted amount bid for the item in the total bid amount. Total all of the amounts bid for each pay item and show the total bid amount.

Section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), requires Federal, State, and local procuring agencies using appropriated Federal funds to purchase items composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practical.

• The Contractor agrees to investigate the use of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and materials containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag to the fullest extent consistent with the efficient performance of this contract. Both the contractor and the subcontractors are urged to seek out suppliers of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag, cement and concrete containing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag and to solicit bids for these materials.

OBLIGATION:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us. For all other purposes, each Surety binds itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of the sum shown opposite the name of the Surety. If no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

CONDITIONS:

The Principal has submitted the bid identified above.

THEREFORE:

The above obligation is void if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of the bid identified above, within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by the principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute such further contractual documents and give such bonds, pays the Government for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

Each Surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligation is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the Principal may grant to the Government.

Notice to the surety(ies) of extension(s) is waived. However, waiver of the notice applies only to extensions aggregating not more than sixty (60) calendar days in addition to the period originally allowed for acceptance of the bid.
