ARTICLE 2 PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS

2-1 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Contract Documents are set forth in the agreement form and the definition of "Contract Documents" in the article on DEFINITIONS, TERMS, AND ABBREVIATIONS.

2-2 LICENSE

No bid will be accepted from a Bidder who is not licensed to conduct business in the state of California and licensed to perform the class of work defined by the Contract Documents.

2-3 PROPOSALS

Bids shall be made upon the bid form furnished by the Owner and a part of the Contract Documents. All bids shall be properly executed and with all items filled in; the signatures of all persons signing shall be in longhand. Erasures, interlineations, or other corrections shall be authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately opposite the correction the initials of a person signing the bid. If the unit price and the total amount named by a Bidder for any item are not in agreement, the unit price alone shall be considered as representing the Bidder's intention, and the totals shall be corrected to conform thereto.

Bids shall not contain any recapitulation of the work to be done. Alternative proposals will not be considered, except as called for. No oral, telegraphic, or telephonic proposals or modifications will be considered.

Bids shall be accompanied by a "Proposal Guarantee" in the form of a cashier's or a certified check, or bidder's bond or substitute security, in an amount not less than 10 percent of the amount of bid, made payable to or for the benefit of the Owner. Said check or bond or substitute shall be given as a guarantee that the Bidder will enter into a Contract and furnish the required bonds or substitutes and insurance certificates and endorsements if awarded the Contract, and in case of refusal or failure to enter into said Contract and furnish the required bonds or substitutes and insurance certificates and endorsements within 15 calendar days after notice of award by the Owner in writing, the check and the money represented by said check shall be forfeited to the Owner, or in the event that a bond or other security is deposited, said security shall be forfeited. Forfeiture does not preclude the Owner from seeking all other remedies provided by law to recover losses sustained as a result of the Contractor's failure to enter into the Contract or to furnish the required bonds or substitutes, or insurance certificates and endorsements, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other costs reasonably incurred by the Owner, with or without legal proceedings.

Bids shall be sealed in an envelope marked and addressed as set forth in the Special Provisions. Bids shall be delivered to the addressee at the location designated in the Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals on or before the day and hour set for the opening of bids in the Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals, and shall bear the name of the Bidder. A bid will not be accepted after the date and time designated in the Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals. It is the sole responsibility of the Bidder to see that its bid is delivered and received in proper time. Any bid received after said designated date and time shall be returned to the Bidder unopened.

2-4 WITHDRAWAL OF BID

A Bidder may withdraw its bid by a signed written request any time prior to the date and time for receiving bids designated in the Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals.

The withdrawal of a bid does not prejudice the right of a Bidder to file a new bid so long as the new bid is delivered as set forth in the article on PROPOSALS prior to the closing time specified for all bids.

GENERAL PROVISIONS 007000-5

2-5 BIDDERS INTERESTED IN MORE THAN ONE BID

No person, partnership, or corporation shall be allowed to make or file, or be interested in more than one bid for the work, unless alternative bids are called for. A person, partnership, or corporation submitting a subproposal to a Bidder, or who has quoted prices on material to a Bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a subproposal or quoting prices to other Bidders.

2-6 INTERPRETATION OF PLANS AND OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

If any person or entity contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed Contract is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the plans, specifications, or other contract documents, or finds discrepancies in, or omissions from the plans and specifications or other contract documents, it may submit to the Engineer a written request for an interpretation or correction thereof. The person submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. An interpretation or correction of the Contract Documents will be made only by Addendum duly issued by the Engineer. A copy of such Addendum will be mailed or delivered to each person or entity that has received a set of such documents. The Owner and the Engineer will not be responsible for any other explanation or interpretation of the documents.

2-7 ADDENDA

Addenda issued before the time in which to submit bids expires shall be included in the bid and shall be made a part of the Contract.

2-8 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Bidder represents that it has carefully examined the Contract Documents and the site where the work is to be performed and that it has familiarized itself with all local conditions and federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations that may affect in any manner the performance of the work. The Bidder further represents that it has studied all surveys and investigation reports about subsurface and latent physical conditions pertaining to the jobsite, that it has performed such additional surveys and investigations as it deems necessary to complete the work at its bid price, and that it has correlated the results of all such data with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The submittal of a bid shall be conclusive evidence that the Bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered, including locality, uncertainty of weather and all other contingencies, and as to the character, quality, quantities, and scope of the work.

The plans and specifications for the work show subsurface conditions or otherwise hidden conditions as they are supposed or believed by the Engineer to exist; but it is not intended or to be inferred that the conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation that such conditions are actually existent.
