14. BID OPENING: Port will open all Bidders’ Envelopes immediately after 3:00 p.m. on the date specified in

Paragraph 1 above, initially evaluate them for responsiveness, and determine an Apparent Low Bidder as specified herein.

15. DETERMINATION OF APPARENT LOW BIDDER: Apparent Low Bid will be determined as provided in

Document 00400 (Bid Form). All Bidders are required to submit Bids on all Bid items.

15.1 If any Apparent Low Bidder is determined to be non-responsive or non-responsible, Port may proceed to the next Apparent Low Bidder’s Bid pursuant to any procedures determined in its reasonable discretion, and proceed for all purposes as if this Apparent Low Bidder were the original Apparent Low Bidder.

Port also reserves the right, in its discretion, to reject any or all Bids and to re-Bid the Project. Port reserves the right to reject any or all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced, or conditional Bids, and to reject the Bid of any Bidder if Port believes that it would not be in the best interest of Project to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the Bid is not responsive or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by Port. For purposes of this paragraph, an “unbalanced Bid” is one having nominal prices for some Bid items and enhanced prices for other Bid items.

Simmons Island Habitat Restoration Project 00200- 4

a. In evaluating Bids, Port will consider Bidders’ qualifications, whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, bid item prices, and other data, as may be requested in Document 00400 (Bid Form) or prior to the Notice of Award.

b. Port may conduct reasonable investigations and reference checks of Bidder and other persons and organizations as Port deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish Bidder’s responsibility, qualifications, financial ability and ability to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to Port’s satisfaction within the prescribed time.

Submission of a Bid constitutes Bidder’s consent to the foregoing. Port shall have the right to consider information provided by sources other than Bidder. Port shall also have the right to communicate directly with Bidder’s surety regarding Bidder’s bonds.

c. Discrepancies between the multiplication of units of Work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum. Discrepancies between written words and figures will be resolved in favor of the words.

d. Port may determine whether a Bidder is qualified in its sole discretionary judgment.

17. BID PROTEST: Any Bid protest must be submitted in writing to the Port’s offices (Attention: Procurement

Officer), before 5:00 p.m. of the tenth Day following posting in the front and back entrances of the Administration Building of Document 00505 (Notice of Intent to Award for Construction). Time will be determined by the clock on the wall of the Administration Building lobby. Port will use reasonable efforts to deliver by facsimile a copy of Document 00505 to all Bidders who submitted Bids no later than the business Day after issuance, although any delay or failure to do so will not extend the Bid protest deadline described above.

a. The initial protest document must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest.

b. The protest must refer to the specific portion of the document that forms the basis for the protest.

c. The protest must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person representing the protesting party.

d. Only Bidders who Port otherwise determines are responsive and responsible are eligible to protest a Bid; protests from any other Bidder will not be considered. In order to determine whether a protesting Bidder is responsive and responsible, Port may evaluate all information contained in any protesting Bidder’s Bid, and conduct the same investigation and evaluation as Port is entitled to take regarding an Apparent Low Bidder.

e. The party filing the protest must concurrently transmit a copy of the initial protest document and any attached documentation to all other parties with a direct financial interest that may be adversely affected by the outcome of the protest. Such parties shall include all other Bidders who appear to have a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest.

f. The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Bid protest. Bidder’s failure to comply with these procedures shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue the Bid protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or legal proceedings. A Bidder may not rely on a protest submitted by another Bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest.

18. AWARD: It is the intent of the Port to award a contract to accomplish the Work described in the Contract Documents. If a Contract is awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsible responsive Bidder within ninety (90) days after the opening of the Bids.

19. PERMITS: It is the bidder’s responsibility to furnish prior to the start of work any and all applicable permits to this project that have not already been obtained by the Port. Actual costs of permits will be reimbursed upon receipt of appropriate documentation.

20. SUBSTITUTIONS: Bidders must base their Bids on products and systems specified in Contract Documents or listed by name in Addenda.

a. Except as provided in Paragraph 20.4 below, Port will consider substitution requests only for “or equal items.” Bidders wanting to use “or equal” item(s) may submit Document 00660 (Substitution Request Form) no later than 5 Days before the Bid Date. After that date, Port will not accept “or equal” substitution requests. To assess “or equal” acceptability of product or system, submittals of substitutions shall contain the information required in Document 00660 (Substitution Request Form). Insufficient information will be grounds for rejection of substitution. Port shall, within a reasonable period of time after having received a Request for Substitution, issue in writing its decision as to whether the proposed substitute item is an Equal item. Port’s decision shall be conclusive on all Bidders.

b. Approved substitutions shall be listed in Addenda and become part of Contract Documents.

c. Substitutions may be requested after submitting Bids and Award of Contract only in accordance with requirements specified in the Contract Documents.

As to such items, Port will not permit substitution. Such items are:

Simmons Island Habitat Restoration Project 00200- 6

g. Successful Bidder’s failure to submit the documents required herein, in a proper and timely manner, entitles Port to rescind its award, and to cause Bidder’s Bid security to be forfeited as provided herein.

22. FAILURE TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER DOCUMENTS: If Bidder to whom Contract is awarded shall, within the period described in Paragraph 19 of this Document 00200, fails or neglects to execute and deliver all required Contract Documents and file all required bonds, insurance certificates, and other documents, Port may, in its sole discretion, foreclose on Bidder’s surety bond, or deposit Bidder’s cashier’s check or certified check for collection, and retain the proceeds thereof as liquidated damages for Bidder’s failure to enter into the Contract Documents. Bidder agrees that calculating the damages Port may suffer as a result of Bidder’s failure to execute and deliver all required Contract Documents would be extremely difficult and impractical and that the amount of Bidder’s required Bid security shall be the agreed and presumed amount of Port’s damages.

a. Upon such failure to timely deliver all required Contract Documents as set forth in Paragraph 21 through Paragraph 21.8 of this Document 00200, Port may determine the next Apparent Low Bidder and proceed accordingly. Such Award, if made, will be made within the time described in paragraph 19 above.

23. MODIFICATION OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK: Port expressly reserves the right to modify the date for the Commencement of Work under the Contract and to independently perform and complete work related to the Project. Port accepts no responsibility to Contractor for any delays attributed to its need to complete independent work at the Site.

24. CONFORMED PROJECT MANUAL: Following Award of Contract, Port may prepare a conformed Project

Manual reflecting Addenda issued during bidding, which will, failing objection, constitute the approved Project Manual.

25. INELIGIBLE CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS: Port shall not accept a Bid from a Bidder who is ineligible to bid or work on, or be awarded, a public works project pursuant to California Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7. Bidders and the Contractor who is awarded the project contract shall not utilize, or allow work by, any subcontractor who is ineligible to bid or work on, or be awarded, a public works project pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1777.1 or 1777.7.
