Revised bids must be received at the place specified in the Invitation to Bid before the time specified for opening all bids.

B. Withdrawal After Bid Opening:

1. A Bidder may withdraw its bid from consideration if the price bid is substantially lower than the other bids due solely to a mistake therein, provided the bid was submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of a bid, which unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission can be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of original work papers, documents and materials used in the preparation of the bid sought to be withdrawn. The Bidder shall give notice in writing of its claim of right to withdraw its bid within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the bid opening procedure, and shall submit original work papers, documents and materials used in preparation of such bid with the written notice. The work papers, documents and materials submitted by the bidder shall, at the bidder’s request, be considered trade secrets or proprietary information. The mistake shall be proved only from the original work papers, documents and materials delivered as required herein.

2. No bid may be withdrawn under this section when the result would be the awarding of the contract on another bid of the same Bidder or of another bidder in which the ownership of the withdrawing bidder is more than five

(5) percent.

3. If a bid is withdrawn under the authority of this section, the lowest remaining responsive and responsible bid shall be deemed to be the low bid.

4. No Bidder who is permitted to withdraw a bid shall, for compensation, supply any material or labor to or perform any subcontract or other work agreement for the person or firm to whom the contract is awarded or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, from the performance of the project for which the withdrawn bid was submitted.

5. The Executive Director shall notify the bidder in writing within five business days of the decision regarding the bidder’s request to withdraw its bid. If the Commission's Executive Director denies the withdrawal of a bid under the provisions of this Section, the Executive Director shall notify the Bidder and Commission in writing shall state in such notice the reasons for the decision and shall recommend award of the Contract by Commission to such Bidder at the bid price, provided such Bidder is a responsible and responsive bidder. At the same time that the notice is provided, the Commission shall return all work papers and copies thereof that have been submitted by the bidder.

VI. REJECTION OF BIDS

A. Bids containing any omission, alterations of form, additions, exceptions or conditions not called for, conditional or alternate bids unless called for, or incomplete bids may be considered nonresponsive, irregular, or informal and may be rejected.

B. If the bid from the lowest responsible and responsive bidder exceeds funds budgeted and tentatively allocated for this specific project, the Executive Director may negotiate with the apparent low bidder to obtain a contract price within available funds. The Executive Director shall determine that the lowest responsible and responsive bid exceeds funds available for this project and notify such bidder in writing of the Commission's desire to negotiate.

Thereafter, negotiations with the apparent low bidder may be held to obtain a contract within available funds involving discussions of reduction of quantities, or other cost saving mechanisms. Any such negotiated contract shall be subject to the Commission's final approval.

C. The Commission reserves the right to award the Contract to a Bidder other than the apparent low Bidder if such bidder is not the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Should a contract be awarded to a Bidder other than the apparent low Bidder, it will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder meeting all requirements of these Contract Documents.

D. The Commission reserves the right to accept or reject alternates in any order or combination, to waive any informalities or irregularities in any bid, to accept any part of or combination of bids, to reject any or all bids, and to re-advertise and rebid, should any said action be deemed to be in the best interest of the Commission.

VII. AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT

A. Consideration of Bids and Award of Contract

The Commission reserves the absolute right to consider all bids and to determine, after such consideration, whether to award a contract for the

Project. If a contract is awarded, the award will be to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder selected by the Commission; as such award may be evaluated to be in the best interest of the Commission. No award will be made until the Commission has concluded such investigations as it deems necessary to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of the bidders and their products to perform in accordance with the contract documents to the satisfaction of the Commission within the time prescribed.

The Commission reserves the right to reject the bid of any bidder who does not pass such investigation to the Commission's satisfaction. If the Contract is awarded, the Commission will give the successful bidder written notice of the award within sixty (60) calendar days after the opening of the bids. Until the final execution and delivery of the Contract back to the successful bidder, the Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive informalities, technicalities or non-material defects or to advertise for new bids, or to proceed to do the work otherwise should any such action be deemed to be in the best interests of the Commission.

B. Acceptance of Bid

As soon as the bids have been reviewed and compared, which shall occur within thirty (30) consecutive calendar days after the Bid Opening date, the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission may give written notice of its intent to award a contract. Actual award of contract, if it is to be awarded, is contingent upon receipt of grant funding for the project and shall be made within one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive calendar days after Bid Opening Date.

The successful bidder shall be required, within fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days after the receipt of the "Notice of Bid Acceptance" to execute the Contract and return the Contract to the Commission.

C. Execution of Contract

The successful Bidder shall sign (execute) the Contract and return such signed Contract to the Owner, along with required insurance certificates and completed bond forms within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Award by Owner. If the successful Bidder shall fail to execute the Contract within such fifteen (15) day period, the Commission may require forfeiture of the Bid Security, pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity, rescind the contract award and/or the Commission may then proceed to accept the Bid of the next lowest responsive and responsible Bidder. If the Contract is mailed, special handling is recommended.

D. Approval of Contract

Upon receipt from the successful bidder of required insurance documents, the executed Contract, the Performance and Payment Bonds, the construction schedule and any other required documents, the Owner may complete the execution of the Contract in accordance with applicable laws, and return a copy of the fully executed Contract to the Contractor. No contract is binding upon the Owner until it has been executed by the Owner and delivered to the Contractor. Work shall commence only upon Contractor’s receipt of a written notice to proceed from Owner.

E. Failure to Execute Contract

Failure of the successful bidder to execute the Contract and furnish the required insurance documents and bonds within the 15 calendar days period after receiving Notice of Award shall be just cause for cancellation of the award. An award may then be made to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder, or the work re-advertised, or handled as the Owner may determine in its sole and exclusive discretion.

F. Failure to Accept Bids

Should no "Notice of Bid Acceptance" be issued by Owner within one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive calendar days after the opening of bids, each Bidder may have its bid security returned from Owner.

It shall decide all questions which may arise as to the interpretation of the specifications or plans relating to the Work and the fulfillment of the contract on the part of the Contractor. The Consultant shall determine the amount and quality of the several kinds of work performed and materials furnished which are to be paid for the under contract.

5. Conformity with Drawings and Specifications

If the Consultant finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product not within reasonably close conformity with the Contract Documents, but that the portion of the Work affected will, in its opinion, result in a finished product having a level of safety, economy, durability, and workmanship acceptable to the Owner, it will advise the Owner of its determination that the affected work be accepted and remain in place. In this event, the Consultant will document its determination and recommend to the Owner a basis of acceptance which will provide for an adjustment in the contract price for the affected portion of the work. The Consultant's determination and recommended Contract price adjustments will be based on good consulting judgment and such tests or retests of the affected work as are, in its opinion, needed. Changes in the contract price shall be covered by contract modifications (change order or supplemental agreement) as applicable.

If the Consultant finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product are not in reasonably close conformity with the drawings and specifications and have resulted in an unacceptable finished product, the affected work or materials shall be removed and replaced or otherwise corrected by and at the expense of the Contractor in accordance with the Owner's and/or Consultant's written orders.

For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" shall not be construed as waiving the Contractor's responsibility to complete the Work in accordance with the contract, drawings, and specifications. The term shall not be construed as waiving the Consultant's right to insist on strict compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, during the Contractor's prosecution of the Work, when, in the Consultant's opinion, such compliance is essential to provide an acceptable finished portion of the Work or for the Project.

For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" is also intended to provide the Consultant with the authority to use good professional judgment in its determinations as to acceptance of work that is not in strict conformity but will provide a finished product equal to or better than that intended by the requirements of the Contract Documents.
