INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

1. RECEIPT AND OPENING OF BIDS

COBB COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, herein called the "Owner", invites bids on the form attached hereto, all blanks of which must be appropriately filled in. Bids from Bidders included on the Cobb County Water System’s Plan Holders List will be received through the OpenGov Portal on the Cobb County Procurement Services’ website. Physical, emailed or telegraphic/faxed bids will not be considered. Unsigned bids will not be considered.

Bids will be received up until the date and at the time indicated on the Advertisement for Bids.

After such time on the same day, bids will be publicly opened and read aloud. Bids received after the designated time will not be considered.

The Owner may consider informal any bid not prepared and submitted in accordance with the provisions hereof and may waive any informalities or reject any and all bids. Any bid may be withdrawn prior to the above scheduled time for the opening of bids or authorized postponement thereof. No bidder may withdraw a bid within 60 days after the actual date of the opening thereof.

2. PREPARATION O F BI D

Bids are to be submitted through the County’s eProcurement Portal at (https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cobbcoga). Physical, emailed or telegraphic/faxed bids will not be considered.

3. METHOD O F BI DDING

The unit or lump sum price of each of the items in the bid shall include the actual cost to perform the work item and the item's pro rata share of overhead and profit so that the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the quantity shown for each item by the unit price represents the total bid.

Any bid not conforming to this requirement, such as unit prices which in the opinion of the Owner do not represent a reasonable cost for the work, will be considered unbalanced. Unbalanced bids may be rejected at the discretion of the Owner.

A bid in which a unit or lump sum price for an item is not entered, or for which a unit price of $0.00 is entered, will be regarded as non-responsive and the bid will be rejected.

Bid prices shall include everything necessary for the completion of the work including, but not limited to, providing the materials, equipment, tools, plant and other facilities, and the management, superintendence, labor and services. Bid prices shall include allowance for Federal, state and local taxes.

In the event that the product of a unit price and an estimated quantity does not equal the extended amount quoted, the unit price shall govern, and the correct product of the unit price and the estimated quantity shall be deemed to be the amount bid. If the sum of two or more items in the bid schedule does not equal the total amounts quoted, the individual item amounts shall govern and the correct total shall be deemed to be the amount bid.

Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the estimated quantities in the bid schedule by examination of the site and a review of the drawings and specifications including any addenda.

After bids have been submitted, the Bidder shall not assert that there has been any misunderstanding concerning the quantities of work or of the nature of the work to be done.

(Rev. 07/26/2023) 00 21 13-2 Program No. S3041

The quantities listed in the unit price bid form shall be considered as approximate and will be used only for comparison of bids. Payment to the Contractor will be made only for the actual quantities of work performed or materials furnished in accordance with the Contract, and it is understood that the quantities may be increased or decreased as provided in the General Conditions without in any way invalidating the unit bid prices.

4. MODIFICATION OR WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

A submitted bid may be Unsubmitted by a bidder or its authorized representative, before the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. If the bid is retrieved for modification, the sealed bid must be resubmitted through the portal prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. If the bid is not resubmitted, it will be considered as withdrawn.

5. ADDENDA

Addenda will be posted on the OpenGov Portal. Receipt of addenda shall be acknowledged in the submitted proposal. It is the proposer’s ultimate responsibility to ensure that they have all applicable addenda prior to the bid submittal. Each bid schedule shall include specific acknowledgement in the space provided of receipt of all addenda issued by the Owner during the bidding period.

8. MISTAKES; CORRECTIONS AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

18. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION

Cobb County Government encourages the participation of all businesses in offering their services and/or products. The Cobb County Government has the goal to fairly and competitively procure the best product at the most reasonable cost.

(Rev. 07/26/2023) 00 21 13-6 Program No. S3041

A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) is generally defined as a Female, Black American, Hispanic American and any other minority owned business. The Federal Government has long had a program in place to ensure participation of DBE vendors and suppliers on federally-funded contracts. The State of Georgia has established a similar program whereby DBE firms are defined, certified, and made known. This effort is managed by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). Additional information regarding this State program can be found at http://www.dot.state.ga.us/doingbusiness/dbePrograms/Pages/default.aspx.

While the Cobb County Government does not administer a DBE certification program, the County does desire to identify DBE participation in our contracts and to quantify that participation. The Bidder is requested to advise of DBE status (if any) by completing the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Identification Form in Section 00 41 13 of these Documents and to report the participation of any DBE subcontractors (See Section 00 45 54 and Section 00 73 18).

19. CONTRACT PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND

The Contractor will be required to furnish a contract performance bond and a payment bond executed by a surety company listed in the latest issue of U.S. Treasury Circular 570, registered and duly authorized to do business in the State of Georgia, and signed (or countersigned) by a local agent, each in an amount that is at least equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price, as security for the faithful performance of this contract and as security for the payment of all persons performing labor and furnishing material in connection with the Contract.

The surety shall be acceptable to the Owner and the bond shall be executed on the form attached. In case of default on the part of the Contractor, all expenses incident to ascertaining and collecting losses under the bond, including both engineering and legal services, shall lie against the bond.

The Contractor will be required to provide the Owner a one-year guarantee covering workmanship and materials of the project. The contract performance bond shall remain in force for one year from date of acceptance by the Owner. The cost of this bond shall be paid by the Contractor.

20. INSURANCE PROOF OF COVERAGE

Prior to execution of Contract Documents, a certificate of insurance will be required as outlined in Section 00 73 16 of these specifications, Insurance Requirements for Contractors.

21. AWARD OF CONTRACT

The Bidder to whom the Contract is being awarded will be required to execute the agreement, accompanying affidavits and forms, and obtain the performance bond, payment bond and insurance within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date when the notice of award is issued to the Bidder. In case of failure of the Bidder to execute the agreement, affidavits and forms, and furnish the required bonds, the Owner may consider the Bidder in default, in which case the bid bond or check accompanying the bid shall become payable to the Owner.
