a. The appropriate financial, material, equipment, facilities, and personnel resources and expertise available, or the ability to obtain them, necessary to indicate it can meet all contractual requirements;

G. The existence of any judgment, citation, default, finding of non-responsibility or other negative information disclosed by Contactor in its Experience and Qualification Statement or independently discovered by Owner, or Contractor’s failure to provide the certifications required by this Article, will be considered, among all other factors, in determining whether a Contractor is a responsible Bidder for this project.

The minimum requirements indicated above are in addition to any other requirements contained elsewhere in the Contract Documents and/or typically considered under state or federal procurement law.

I. Owner may, when circumstances warrant, accept any Bidder as a responsible Bidder despite its failure to meet all the minimum standards set out herein. To the extent that special circumstances exist which a Bidder believes render the Bidder a qualified and responsible Bidder for this project, despite the failure to meet one or more of the standards for qualification set out herein, the Bidder may submit a notarized sworn statement explaining the special circumstances and requesting consideration of its Bid.
