Article 2. QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS

2.01 To demonstrate qualifications to perform the Work, each Bidder must be prepared to submit, within five (5) days of Owner's request, written evidence such as financial data, previous experience and evidence of authority to conduct business in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. Each Bid contains a representation of Bidder's qualification to do business in the state where the Project is located, or covenant to obtain such qualification prior to award of the Contract.

Article 3. EXAMINATION OF BIDDING DOCUMENTS, OTHER RELATED DATA, AND

3.02 Reference is made to the Supplementary Conditions for the identification of those reports of investigations and tests of subsurface and latent physical conditions at the site or otherwise affecting cost, progress or performance of the Work, which have been relied upon by Engineer in preparing the Drawings and Specifications. Owner will make copies of such reports available to any Bidder requesting them.

These reports are not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness, nor are they part of the Contract Documents. Before submitting his Bid, each Bidder will, at his own expense, make such additional investigations and tests as the Bidder may deem necessary to determine his Bid for performance of the Work in accordance with the time, price and other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.

3.03 On request, Owner will provide each Bidder access to the site to conduct such investigations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of his Bid. Bidder shall fill all holes and cleanup and restore the site to its former condition upon completion of such explorations, investigations tests and studies.

3.04 The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way for access thereto, and other lands designated for use by Contractor in performing the Work are identified in the Supplementary Conditions or Drawings.

3.05 Information and data shown or indicated in the Bidding Documents with respect to existing Underground Facilities at or contiguous to the site is based upon information and data furnished to Owner and Engineer by owners of such Underground Facilities.

3.06 Reference is made to Article 7 of the Supplementary Conditions for the identification and general nature of other work that is to be performed at the site by Owner or others (such as utilities or other prime contractors) that relates to the Work for which a Bid is to be submitted. On request, Owner will provide to each Bidder for examination access to or copies of Contract Documents (other than portions thereof related to price) for such other work.

2-2

3.07 A detailed description of the Work is provided in the Technical Provisions (Detailed).

3.08 The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by the Bidder that he has complied with every requirement of this Article and that the Bidding Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions for performance of the Work.

Article 4. INTERPRETATIONS AND ADDENDA

4.01 All questions about the meaning or intent of the Bidding Documents shall be submitted to Engineer in writing via the “Messages/ Public Q&A” feature in PennBid. Replies will be issued by Addenda, posted within the “Bidding Documents” feature in PennBid and an email notification sent to all parties recorded as having received the Bidding Documents. Questions received less than five (5) days prior to the date for opening of bids will not be answered. Only questions answered by formal written Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.

Article 5. CONTRACT TIME

5.01 The number of days within which, or the date by which the Work is to be completed (the Contract Time), is set forth in the Bid Form and will be included in the Agreement.

Article 6. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

6.01 Provisions for liquidated damages, if any, are set forth in the Agreement.

Article 7. SUBSTITUTE AND “OR-EQUAL” ITEMS

7.01 The Contract, if awarded, will be on the basis of material and equipment described in the Drawings or specified in the Specifications without consideration of possible substitute or "or-equal" items. Whenever it is indicated in the Drawings or specified in the Specifications that a substitute or "or-equal" item of material or equipment may be furnished or used by Contractor, if acceptable to Engineer, application for such acceptance will not be considered by Engineer until after the Effective Date of the Agreement. The procedure for submittal of any such application by Contractor and consideration by Engineer is set forth in the General Conditions.

Article 8. SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS AND OTHERS

8.01 If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors and other persons and organizations to be submitted to Owner in advance of the Notice of Award, the apparent Successful Bidder, and any other Bidder so requested, will, within seven (7) days after the day of the Bid opening, submit to Owner a list of all Subcontractors and other persons and organizations (including those who are to furnish the principal items of material and equipment) proposed for those portions of the Work as to which such identification is so required. Such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent information as to similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such Subcontractor, person and organization if requested by Owner. If Owner or Engineer after due investigation has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, other person or organization, either may, before giving the Notice of Award, request the apparent Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in Bid price. If the apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, the contract shall not be awarded to such Bidder, but his declining to make any such substitution will not constitute grounds for sacrificing his Bid Security. Any Subcontractor, other person or organization so listed and to whom Owner and Engineer do not make written objection prior to giving of the Notice of Award, will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer.

2-3

8.02 In contracts where the Contract Price is on the basis of cost-of-the-work plus a fee, the apparent Successful Bidder, prior to the Notice of Award, shall identify in writing to Owner those portions of the Work that such Bidder proposes to subcontract, and after the Notice of Award, may only subcontract other portions of the Work with Owner's written consent.

"Any Bidder may withdraw his bid for consideration after the bid opening without forfeiture of the surety bid bond filed with the bid, if the price bid was submitted in good faith, and the bidder submits credible evidence that the reason for the price bid being substantially lower was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional and substantial arithmetical error or an unintentional omission of a substantial quantity of work, labor, material or services made directly in the compilation of the bid; provided (i) notice of a claim of the right to withdraw such bid is made in writing with the Owner within two business days after the opening of bids; and

(ii) the withdrawal of the bid would not result in the awarding of the contract on another bid of the same bidder, his partner, or to a corporation or business venture owned by or in which he has a substantial interest. No bidder who is permitted to withdraw a bid shall supply any material or labor to, or perform any subcontract or other work agreement for any person to whom a contract or subcontract is awarded in the performance of the contract for which the withdrawn bid was submitted without the written approval of the Owner."

The Bid Security of any Bidder whom Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award may be retained by Owner until the earlier of the seventh day after the Effective Date of the Agreement (which term is defined in the General Conditions) by Owner to Contractor and the required Contract Security is furnished on the first day after the open period for bids contained in Article 12 herein.

15.03 Owner may consider the qualifications and experience of Subcontractors and other persons and organizations (including those who are to furnish the principal items of material or equipment) proposed for those portions of the Work as to which the identity of Subcontractors and other persons and organizations must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions. Operating costs, maintenance considerations, performance data and guarantees of materials and equipment may also be considered by Owner.

15.04 Owner may conduct such investigations as he deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of the Bidders, proposed Subcontractors and other persons and organizations to do the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to Owner's satisfaction within the prescribed time.

AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of the ____ day of ___________, in the year 20___, by and between The York County Rail Trail Authority (hereinafter called OWNER) and ___________________ (hereinafter called CONTRACTOR). OWNER and CONTRACTOR, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:

Article 1. WORK

CONTRACTOR shall complete all Work as specified or indicated in the Contract Documents.

The Work is generally described as follows:

Hanover Trolley Trail - Route 116 Trailhead – Contract No. 1 – General Construction

Article 2. ENGINEER

The Project has been designed by C.S. Davidson, Inc., who is hereinafter called ENGINEER and who will assume all duties and responsibilities, and will have the rights and authority assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents in connection with completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Article 3. CONTRACT TIME

3.1 The Work will be substantially completed within ninety (90) calendar days after the date when the Contract Time commences to run as provided in Paragraph 2.03 of the General Conditions.

3.2 Liquidated Damages. OWNER and CONTRACTOR recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not substantially completed within the time specified in Paragraph 3.1, above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with Article 12 of the General Conditions. They also recognize the delays, expenses and difficulties involved in proving, in a legal or arbitration proceeding, the actual loss suffered by OWNER if the Work is not substantially completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each day that expires after the time specified in Paragraph 3.1 for substantial completion until the Work is substantially completed.

Article 4. CONTRACT PRICE

4.1 OWNER shall pay CONTRACTOR for performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents in current funds on the basis of the lump sum and/or unit prices for the item or items set forth in the Bid attached hereto, incorporated herein and made a part hereof. The number of units contained in this bid is approximate only, and the final payment shall be made for the actual number of units that are incorporated in, or made necessary by, the work covered by the Agreement.

Article 5. PAYMENT PROCEDURES

CONTRACTOR shall submit Applications for Payment in accordance with Article 14 of the General Conditions. Applications for Payment will be processed by ENGINEER as provided in the General Conditions.

5.1 Progress Payments. OWNER shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Price on the basis of CONTRACTOR's Application for Payment, as recommended by ENGINEER, monthly during construction as provided below. All progress payments will be on the basis of the progress of the Work measured by the schedule of values provided for in Paragraph 14.01 of the General Conditions.

4-2

5.1.1 Prior to fifty percent (50%) completion of the project (as computed on the basis of the Contract Price), progress payments will be in an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the work completed and seventy percent (70%) of materials and equipment. After the project is fifty percent (50%) complete, but prior to Substantial Completion, progress payment will be in an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Work completed and seventy percent (70%) of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored, less in each case the aggregate of payments previously made.

5.1.2 Upon Substantial Completion, OWNER shall pay an amount sufficient to increase total payments to CONTRACTOR to one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price, less only one and one-half (1 ½) times such amount as is required to complete any then remaining uncompleted minor items.

5.2 Final Payment. Upon final completion and acceptance of the Work in accordance with Paragraph 14.07 of the General Conditions, OWNER shall pay the remainder of the Contract Price as recommended by ENGINEER as provided in said Paragraph 14.07.

Article 6. INTEREST

All moneys not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law at the place of the Project.

7.4 CONTRACTOR has correlated the results of all such observations, examinations, investigations, tests, reports and data with the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.

7.5 CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER written notice of all conflicts, errors or discrepancies that he has discovered in the Contract Documents and the written resolution thereof by ENGINEER is acceptable to CONTRACTOR.
