Summary
This document comprises the contract and technical specifications for the Progress Park Lot 10 Mass Grading Project issued by the Wythe County Industrial Development Authority (IDA) in Wytheville, Virginia. The project entails furnishing all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to complete clearing, grading, and earthmoving operations for mass grading of approximately 50 acres, including installation of storm water management facilities. The contractor must provide geotechnical supervision, erosion control monitoring, and record-keeping to achieve a certified, pad-ready development site in accordance with Virginia Department of Environmental Quality standards and obtain a Notice of Termination at project completion. Sealed bids were to be received by the Wythe County Procurement Office at 290 South Sixth Street, Wytheville, Virginia, by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 18, 2026. The work is substantially scheduled for completion within 12 months from the contract commencement date, with final completion and readiness for payment required within 90 calendar days following substantial completion. The bid package must include a completed and signed bid form with Virginia contractor license number, a bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid price, and receipt of addenda acknowledgment. Key contact for questions is Mr. Neil Bagnell, P.E., Senior Project Manager at Dewberry Engineers.
The contract price is structured as a lump sum base bid for all work (Items 1–5) plus optional unit pricing for potential additive items, including removal and off-site disposal of unsuitable material (estimated 2,000 cubic yards), blasting of mass rock and crush and reuse on-site (estimated 10,000 cubic yards), and additional items as specified. The Wythe IDA is exempt from federal excise and Virginia sales tax; tax exemption certificates will be furnished upon request. Progress payments will be made monthly at 95 percent of completed work with five percent retainage, with an additional payment upon substantial completion to bring total payments to 95 percent. Final payment follows upon acceptance of all work. Liquidated damages are set at $500.00 per day for each day of delay beyond the specified substantial completion and final completion dates. The successful bidder must furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract sum within 15 days of written notice of award, along with proof of required insurance coverage. The contract is governed by Virginia law, with any litigation to be brought in Wythe County Circuit Court or General District Court.

F. Award
1. AWARD OR REJECTION OF BIDS: The Wythe County IDA shall award the contract to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder complying with all provisions of the Contract Documents, provided the bid price is reasonable and it is in the best interest of the Wythe IDA to accept it.

a. a complete Bid Form;
b. a Bid Form not evidencing any apparent unbalanced pricing for performance of the items of work;
c. a Bid Form without excisions, alterations, special conditions or qualifications made by the bidder; and
d. a Bid Form containing no alternative bids or offerings (by inclusion, attachment, or otherwise) for any items unless such alternative bids or offerings are requested in the Contract Documents.
That a bidder is “responsible” may be evidenced by the following facts:
a. they maintain a permanent place of business;
b. they have adequate financial capability for meeting the obligations inherent in the work;
c. they have adequate equipment to properly perform the work within the time limit specified; and
d. they have a competent and experienced organization.

The Administrator may make such investigations as it deems necessary to determine the bidder’s ability to perform the work and the bidder shall furnish to the Wythe IDA all such information and data for this purpose as the IDA may request. The IDA reserves the right to reject any bid if investigation of such bidder fails to satisfy the IDA that the bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract.
By the tender of a bid for performing the work, the bidder warrants that they are experienced in such construction and are familiar with all phases of the work necessary for a complete job.
The Contractor shall have on the project at all times a superintendent who shall also be experienced in the particular type of construction and shall be familiar with all phases of the work.
IB - 9
The bidder must satisfy themselves of the accuracy of the estimated quantities in the Bid Form by examination of the site and a review of the drawings and specifications, including Addenda. After a bid has been awarded, the Contractor shall not assert that there was misunderstanding concerning the quantities of work or of the nature of the work to be done as called for in the Contract Documents.
The Contract Documents contain the provisions required for the construction of the project. Information obtained from an officer, agent, or employee of the IDA or any other person shall not affect the risks or obligations assumed by the Contractor or relieve them from fulfilling any of the conditions of the Contract Documents.
The IDA reserves the right to award a contract by individual items, in the aggregate, or in combination thereof, or to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality in bids received whenever such rejection or waiver is in the best interest of the IDA.
The IDA reserves the right to negotiate with the lowest responsive, responsible bidder should bids exceed available funds. The IDA shall reject the bid if the bidder is deemed to be a non-responsive, or non-responsible bidder.
2. ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT: The Contractor shall not assign their Contract, nor any part thereof, nor any monies due, or to become due thereunder, without prior written approval of the IDA.
3. PROTEST OF AWARD OR DECISION TO AWARD: Any bidder who desires to protest the award or decision to award a contract by the IDA shall submit such protest in writing to the IDA no later than ten (10) days after public notice of the award or announcement of the decision to award, whichever comes first. No protest shall lie for a claim that the selected bidder is not a responsible bidder. The written protest shall include the basis for the protest and the relief sought. The IDA shall issue a decision in writing within five (5) days after receipt of the protest stating the reasons for the action taken. This decision shall be final unless the bidder appeals within ten (10) days of the written decision by instituting legal action. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to permit a bidder to challenge the validity of the terms or conditions of the solicitation.
G. Successful Bidder’s Requirements
1. PERFORMANCE BOND, PAYMENT BOND AND INSURANCE: The bidder whose
Bid is accepted shall enter into a written contract for the performance of the Work and furnish within 15 days after the date of a written Notice of Award by the IDA, which has been delivered to such bidder personally or by mail to such bidder at the address given in their Bid, the following: (1) a performance bond in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract sum conditioned on the faithful performance of the contract in strict conformity with the plans, specifications and conditions of the Contract Documents, (2) a payment bond in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract sum, conditioned upon the prompt and faithful payment of all persons and entities who have and fulfill contracts which are directly with the Contractor for performing labor or furnishing materials in the prosecution of the work provided for in the Contract Documents, and (3) one or more certificates of insurance evidencing the types and amounts of insurance coverage required to be maintained by the Contractor under the contract documents.
IB - 10
2. CONTRACT SECURITY: If a bidder to whom the contract is awarded refuses or neglects to execute it or fails to furnish the required Performance and Payment Bonds and Insurance within fifteen (15) days of the date of Notice of Award, the amount of the bid security shall be forfeited and shall be retained by the IDA as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, since said sum is a fair estimate of the amount of damages to the IDA. However, no forfeiture under a bid bond shall exceed the difference between the bid for which the bond was written and the next low bid.
In addition, if the bidder to whom the Contract is awarded refuses or neglects to execute it or fails to furnish the required Performance and Payment Bonds and Insurance as herein provided, the award of the contract may be annulled and the contract awarded to the next lowest responsive, responsible bidder and such bidder shall fulfill every stipulation of these documents as if they were the original party to whom it was made; or IDA may reject all of the bids as its interest may require.
Except as provided in the Contract Documents, no plea of mistake in the bid shall be available to the bidder for the recovery of their bid security or as a defense to any action based upon the neglect or refusal to execute a contract.
Any performance or payment bond required hereunder shall be in the form included in these Contract Documents and shall be executed by a surety company legally authorized to do business as a surety in the Commonwealth of Virginia and meeting the requirements stated in Article 14 of the General Conditions. In lieu of a payment or performance bond, the successful bidder may furnish a cash escrow or certified check payable to the order of IDA.
3. SUBCONTRACTORS: No part of the Contract shall be sublet without prior written approval of the IDA. The bidder shall, prior to execution of the Contract, immediately submit to the IDA the names of Subcontractors when they propose to employ on the project.
4. ESCROW AGREEMENT: In accordance with Virginia Public Procurement Act, Article 2.2-4334, adopted July 1, 2001, the Contractor shall have fifteen calendar days after notification of award by the IDA in which to execute and submit to the IDA an escrow agreement. If the escrow agreement form is not submitted within the fifteen day period, the Contractor shall forfeit their rights to the use of the escrow account procedure. A copy of an escrow agreement is included within these contract documents (Section 00850).
5. NOTICE TO PROCEED: The Contractor shall be notified by letter, giving Notice to
Proceed, when work may begin under this Contract. Such notice will be issued as determined by the IDA, but not before receipt and acceptance of the Contractor’s Performance and Payment Bonds, Certificate of Insurance, and a fully executed Standard Form of Agreement.
