b) any bids from bidders who have previously failed to perform properly or to complete on time contracts of any nature with the City; or c)any bid which fails to provide satisfactory documentation of the bidder's qualifications as required by Section 00 21 13-16, QUALIFICATION OF BIDDER.

Said insurance and bonds shall only use the forms attached and shall be secured from a surety company satisfactory to City with a minimum A -Class IV rating with Best's Rating Guide or meeting the following minimum requirements:

If the Best's Rating for any surety company from which the bidder intends to procure the payment bond, performance bond, or both, is less than A - Class IV and/or not Treasury Rated, bidder may be required to, within 5 working days after bid opening, submit to the City an original or certified copy of each of the following documents for each surety company from which the bidder intends to procure such bond or bonds:

1. That the surety company's assets exceed its liabilities by more than the amount of the bond or bonds submitted on the bidder's behalf, and

26. AWARD OF CONTRACT

Within ninety (90) calendar days after the time of opening of the bids, the City will act either to accept a bid, to reject all bids or with the consent of the bidders and their sureties to extend the time in which the City may act. The acceptance of a bid will be evidenced by a Notice of Award of Contract in writing, delivered in person or by certified mail to the bidder whose bid is accepted. No other act of City will constitute acceptance of a bid. The issuance of a Notice of Award of Contract shall obligate the bidder whose bid is accepted to furnish performance and payment bonds and evidences of insurance, and to execute the Agreement in the form set forth in the contract documents. The Agreement will require the completion of the work according to the contract documents.

If award is made, it will be based on the lowest responsive, responsible bid.

27. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT

The Agreement shall be executed by the successful bidder and returned, together with the Contract bonds and evidences of insurance, within ten (10) calendar days after receiving written Notice of the Award of the Contract. Time is of the essence in this regard. After execution by City, one copy of the Agreement shall be returned to Contractor.

Failure or refusal to enter into a Contract as herein provided or to conform to any of the stipulated requirements in connection therewith shall be just cause for annulment of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guaranty. If the successful bidder refuses or fails to execute the agreement, the City may award the contract to the second lowest responsible bidder. If the second lowest responsible bidder refuses or fails to execute the agreement, the City may award the contract to the third lowest responsible bidder. On the failure or refusal of such second or third lowest bidder to execute the agreement, such bidder's guarantees shall be likewise forfeited to the City. The work may then be re-advertised.
