CAREOREGON CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

1. Minimum Qualifications: Bidders shall meet Minimum Contractor and Specialty Subcontractor

Qualifications as defined in the Project Manual. In summary, these Minimum Qualifications include:

• Contractor & Sub-Contractor(s): Each construction trade shall have a minimum of five years of commercial experience with the type of work that they will perform under this contract.

2. Scope of Work. The “Work” contemplated under this contract with the Owner (“CareOregon, Inc.”), includes all permits, labor, materials, transportation, equipment and services necessary for, and reasonably incidental to, the completion of all construction Work in connection with the project described in the Project Manual which includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the Notice of Construction Contract Opportunity, Instructions to Bidders, Good Faith Effort Forms, Bid Form, Standard Contract and General Conditions, and the Project Manual (Plans, Specifications and Drawings).

3. Examination of Site and Conditions. Before making a Bid, the Bidder shall examine the site of the Work and ascertain all the physical conditions in relation thereto. The Bidder shall also make a careful examination of the Project Manual including the plans, specifications, and drawings and other contract documents, and shall be fully informed as to the quality and quantity of materials and the sources of supply of the materials. Failure to take these steps will not release the successful Bidder from entering into the contract nor excuse the Bidder from performing the Work in strict accordance with the terms of the contract at the price established by the Bid.

The Owner will not be responsible for any loss or for any unanticipated costs, which may be suffered by the successful Bidder, as a result of such Bidder's failure to be fully informed in advance with regard to all conditions pertaining to the Work and the character of the Work required, including site conditions. No statement made by an officer, agent, or employee of the Owner in relation to the physical or other conditions pertaining to the site of the Work will be binding on the Owner, unless covered by the Project Manual or an Addendum.

4. Interpretation of Project Manual and Approval of Materials Equal to Those Provided in the Specifications. If any Bidder contemplating submitting a Bid for the proposed contract is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the plans, specifications, or forms of contract documents, or detects discrepancies or omissions, such Bidder may submit to the Architect (read "Engineer" throughout in lieu of Architect as appropriate) a written request for an interpretation thereof at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date set for the Bid Closing.

When a prospective Bidder seeks approval of a particular manufacturer's material, process or item of equal value, utility, or merit other than that designated by the Architect in the Project Manual, the Bidder may submit to the Architect a written request for approval of such substitute at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date set for the Bid Closing. The prospective Bidder submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery.

Requests of approval for a substitution from that specified shall be accompanied by samples, records of performance, certified copies of tests by impartial and recognized laboratories, and such other information as the Architect may request.

To establish a basis of quality, certain processes, types of machinery and equipment or kinds of materials may be specified in the Project Manual either by description of process or by designating a manufacturer by name and referring to a brand or product designation or by specifying a kind of material. Whenever a process is designated or a manufacturer's name, brand or item designation is given, or whenever a process or material covered by patent is designated or described, it shall be understood that the words "or approved equal" follow such name, designation, or description, whether in fact they do so or not.

Any interpretation of the Project Manual or approval of manufacturer's material will be made only by an Addendum duly issued. All Addenda will be posted to the OregonBuys listing and will become a part of the Project Manual. The Owner will not be responsible for any other explanation or interpretation of the Project Manual nor for any other approval of a particular manufacturer's process or item for any Bidder.

When the Architect approves a substitution by Addendum, it is with the understanding that the Contractor guarantees the substituted article or material to be equal or better than the one specified.

5. Execution of the Bid Form. Each Bid shall be made in accordance with: (i) the sample Bid Form accompanying these instructions; (ii) the appropriate signatures for a sole individual, partnership, corporation, or limited liability corporation; (iii) numbers pertaining to base Bids shall be stated both in writing and in figures; and (iv) the Bidder's address shall be typed or printed.

When Bidding on an alternate for which there is no charge, the Bidder shall write the words "No Charge" in the space provided on the Bid Form. If one or more alternates are shown on the Bid Form, the Bidder shall indicate whether each is "add" or "deduct."

6. Prohibition of Alterations to Bid. Bids that are incomplete or contain ambiguities or have differing conditions required by the Bidder, including requested changes or exceptions to the Standard Contract and General Conditions form or other portions of the Project Manual, may be rejected in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion.

7. Submission of Bid. Each complete Bid shall be emailed to vendorservices@careoregon.org with the name of the Project in the subject line. Bids must be received by the date and time stated in the Notice of Contract Opportunity and Bid Closing.

8. Acceptance or Rejection of Bids by Owner. Unless all Bids are rejected, the Owner will award a contract based on the lowest responsive Bid from a responsible Bidder. If that Bidder does not execute the contract, it will be awarded to the next lowest responsible Bidder or Bidders in succession. The Owner reserves the right to reject all Bids and to waive minor informalities.

9. Withdrawal of Bid. At any time prior to the Bid Closing, a Bidder may withdraw its Bid. This will not preclude the submission of another Bid by such Bidder prior to the time set for the Bid Closing. After the time set for the Bid Closing, no Bidder will be permitted to withdraw its Bid, except as provided for in Paragraph 8 above.

10. Execution of Contract, Performance Bond and Payment Bond. The Owner will provide the successful Bidder with contract forms.

3.2.1 Owner may perform work at the Worksite directly or by Others. Any agreements with Others to perform construction or operations related to the Project shall include provisions pertaining to insurance, indemnification, waiver of subrogation, consequential damages, coordination, interference, cleanup, and safety that are substantively the same as the corresponding provisions of this Contract.

3.2.2 If Owner elects to perform work at the Worksite directly or by Others, the Parties shall coordinate the activities of all forces at the Worksite and agree upon fair and reasonable schedules and operational procedures for Worksite activities. Owner shall require each separate contractor to cooperate with Contractor and to assist with the coordination of activities and the review of construction schedules and operations. In accordance with §6.3, Contract Price and Contract Time may be equitably adjusted for changes resulting from the coordination of construction activities, and the Schedule of the Work shall be revised accordingly.

(c) coordinate Contractor's Work with theirs.

3.2.4 Before proceeding with any portion of the Work affected by the construction or operations of Owner or Others, Contractor shall give Owner prompt written notification of any defects Contractor discovers in their work which will prevent the proper execution of the Work.

Contractor's obligations in this subsection do not create a responsibility for the work of Owner or Others, but are for the purpose of facilitating the Work. If Contractor does not notify Owner of defects interfering with the performance of the Work, Contractor acknowledges that the work of Owner or Others is not defective and is acceptable for the proper execution of the Work.

Following receipt of written notice from Contractor of defects, Owner shall promptly issue an Interim Directive informing Contractor what action, if any, Contractor shall take with regard to the defects.

3.3 CONTRACT DOCUMENT REVIEW.

3.3.3 In accordance with this Contract, Contractor may be entitled to adjustments of the Contract Price or Contract Time because of clarifications or instructions arising out of Contractor's reports described in this §3.3.

3.3.4 Nothing in §3.3 shall relieve Contractor of responsibility for its own errors, inconsistencies, or omissions.

3.4 CONSTRUCTION PERSONNEL AND SUPERVISION.

3.4.1 Contractor shall provide competent supervision for the performance of the Work. Before commencing the Work, Contractor shall notify Owner in writing of the name and qualifications of its proposed superintendent(s) and project manager so Owner may review their qualifications. If, for reasonable cause, Owner refuses to approve an individual, or withdraws its approval after once giving it, Contractor shall name a different superintendent or project manager for Owner's review.

Any disapproved superintendent shall not perform in that capacity thereafter at the Worksite.

3.4.2 Contractor shall be responsible to Owner for acts or omissions of a person or entity performing on behalf of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors and Suppliers.

3.4.3 Contractor shall permit only qualified persons to perform the Work. Contractor shall enforce safety procedures, strict discipline, and good order among persons performing the Work.

3.4.4 CONTRACTOR'S REPRESENTATIVE Contractor's authorized representative is designated in Article 1 above. Contractor's Representative shall possess full authority to receive instructions from Owner and to act on those instructions. If Contractor changes its representative or the representative’s authority, Contractor shall immediately notify Owner in writing.

All materials used in the Work shall be furnished in sufficient quantities to facilitate the proper and expeditious execution of the Work and shall be new except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.

3.6 MATERIALS FURNISHED BY OWNER OR OTHERS If the Work includes installation of materials or equipment furnished by Owner or Others, it shall be the responsibility of Contractor to examine the items so provided and thereupon handle, store, and install the items, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, with such skill and care as to provide a satisfactory and proper installation. Loss or damage due to acts or omissions of Contractor shall be the responsibility of Contractor and may be deducted from any amounts due or to become due Contractor. Any defects discovered in such materials or equipment shall be reported at once to Owner. Following receipt of written notice from Contractor of defects, Owner shall promptly inform Contractor what action, if any, Contractor shall take with regard to the defects.

3.7 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS.

3.7.1 Contractor shall schedule all required tests, approvals, and inspections of the Work or portions thereof at appropriate times so as not to delay the progress of the Work or other work related to the Project. Contractor shall give proper notice to all required parties of such tests, approvals, and inspections. If feasible, Owner and Others may timely observe the tests at the normal place of testing. Except as provided in§3.7.3, Owner shall bear all commissioning expenses associated with tests, inspections, and approvals required by the Contract Documents, which shall be conducted by an independent testing laboratory or entity retained by Owner. Unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, required certificates of testing, approval, or inspection shall be secured by Contractor and promptly delivered to Owner.

3.8.1 Contractor warrants that all materials and equipment shall be new unless otherwise specified, of good quality, in conformance with the Contract Documents, and free from defective workmanship and materials. At Owner's request, Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence of the quality and type of materials and equipment furnished. Contractor further warrants that the Work shall be free from material defects not intrinsic in the design or materials required in the Contract Documents. Contractor's warranty does not include remedies for defects or damages caused by normal wear and tear during normal usage, use for a purpose for which the Project was not intended, improper or insufficient maintenance, modifications performed by Owner or others, or abuse. Contractor's warranty shall commence on the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work for a period of one year (1 year).

3.8.2 To the extent products, equipment, systems, or materials incorporated in the Work are specified and purchased by Owner, they shall be covered exclusively by the warranty of the manufacturer. There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face of any such warranty. For such incorporated items, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR

IMPLIED INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE

WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY

DISCLAIMED.

3.8.3 Contractor shall obtain from its Subcontractors and Suppliers any special or extended warranties required by the Contract Documents. Contractor's liability for such warranties shall be limited to the one-year correction period as provided in the section below. After that period, Contractor shall provide reasonable assistance to Owner in enforcing the obligations of Subcontractors or Suppliers for such extended warranties.

3.9 CORRECTION OF WORK WITHIN ONE YEAR.

3.9.1 Before Substantial Completion and within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work, if any Defective Work is found, Owner shall promptly notify Contractor in writing. Unless Owner provides written acceptance of the condition, Contractor shall promptly correct the Defective Work at its own cost and time and bear the expense of additional services required for correction of any Defective Work for which it is responsible

3.9.2 With respect to any portion of Work first performed after Substantial Completion, the one-year correction period shall commence when that portion of the Work is substantially complete.

Correction periods shall not be extended by corrective work performed by Contractor.

3.9.3 If Contractor fails to correct Defective Work within two (2) days after receipt of written notice from Owner before final payment, Owner may correct it in accordance with Owner's right to carry out the Work. In such case, an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting the cost of correcting the Defective Work from payments then or thereafter due Contractor. If payments then or thereafter due Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner.

3.9.4 Contractor’s obligations and liability, if any, with respect to any Defective Work discovered after the one-year correction period shall be determined by the Law. If, after the one-year correction period but before the applicable limitation period has expired, Owner discovers any Work which Owner considers Defective Work, Owner shall, unless the Defective Work requires emergency correction, promptly notify Contractor and allow Contractor an opportunity to correct the Work if Contractor elects to do so. If Contractor elects to correct the Work, it shall provide written notice of such intent within fourteen (14) Days of its receipt of notice from Owner and shall complete the correction of Work within a mutually agreed timeframe. If Contractor does not elect to correct the Work, Owner may have the Work corrected by itself or others, and, if Owner intends to seek recovery of those costs from Contractor, Owner shall promptly provide Contractor with an accounting of actual correction costs.

3.9.5 If Contractor's correction or removal of Defective Work causes damage to or destroys other completed or partially completed Work or existing buildings, Contractor shall be responsible for the cost of correcting the destroyed or damaged property.

3.9.6 The one-year period for correction of Defective Work does not constitute a limitation period with respect to the enforcement of Contractor's other obligations under the Contract Documents.

3.9.7 Before final payment, at Owner's option and with Contractor's agreement, Owner may elect to accept Defective Work rather than require its removal and correction. In such case, the Contract Price shall be equitably adjusted for any diminution in the value of the Project caused by such Defective Work.

3.10 CORRECTION OF COVERED WORK.

3.10.1 Upon issuance of an Interim Directive, Work that has been covered without a requirement that it be inspected before being covered shall be uncovered for Owner's inspection.

If the uncovered Work proves to be defective, Contractor shall pay the costs of uncovering and replacement.

3.10.2 If any Work is covered contrary to requirements in the Contract Documents, Owner may issue an Interim Directive to uncover the Work for Owner's observation and recover the Work all at Contractor's expense and with no Contract Time adjustment.

3.11 SAFETY.

3.11.1 SAFETY PROGRAMS. Contractor holds overall responsibility for safety programs.

However, such obligation does not relieve Subcontractors their safety responsibilities and to comply with the Law. Contractor shall prevent against injury, loss, or damage to persons or property by taking reasonable steps to protect: (a) its employees and other persons at the Worksite;

(b) materials and equipment stored onsite or offsite for use in the Work; and (c) property located at the Worksite and adjacent to work areas.

3.11.5 If Owner deems any part of the Work or Worksite unsafe, Owner, without assuming responsibility for Contractor's safety program, may require by Interim Directive, Contractor to stop performance of the Work, take corrective measures satisfactory to Owner, or both. If Contractor does not adopt corrective measures, Owner may perform them and deduct their cost from the Contract Price. Contractor agrees to make no claim for damages, for an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time based on Contractor's compliance with Owner's reasonable request.

3.12 EMERGENCIES.

3.12.1 In an emergency affecting the safety of persons or property, Contractor shall act in a reasonable manner to prevent threatened damage, injury, or loss.
