Such Bids as are received will be opened and read aloud through an on-line conference or meeting platform at a date and time to be identified by Addendum.
Each Bid shall be made on the Bid Form provided in the bid packet and no Bidder may withdraw their Bid for a period of ninety (90) days from and after the date set for opening of bids. Each Bid must be accompanied, in a sealed envelope, separate from the one containing the Bid, by a Bid Bond on an approved form in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Bid price, made payable to the Cherry Park General Improvement District, which shall be considered as liquidated damages and shall be forfeited to the District if said Bid is accepted and the Bidder fails to execute the Contract within ten (10) calendar days after the Award by the District. Each Bid must also be accompanied by a completed Questionnaire.
The work herein provided for shall be done under written Contract with the contractor chosen by the District as deemed to be in the best interests of the District. Upon review of Bid prices, and the Questionnaires, the District may be required to add or delete portions of Work from this Project. The contractor chosen by the District must perform at least 70% of the Work.
The successful Bidder will be required to furnish, as part of the Contract, insurance certificates in the amount specified in the General Conditions, a Performance, Payment, Maintenance and Warranty Bond in an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum, said bond to be issued by a responsible corporate surety approved by the District, and which shall guarantee the faithful performance of the Construction Contract and the terms and conditions therein contained and shall guarantee the prompt payment of all materials and labor, and protect and save harmless the District from claims and damages of any kind caused by the operations of the Contractor.
Preference is hereby given to materials, supplies, and provisions produced or manufactured in Colorado, quality being equal to articles offered by competitors outside of the State. In accordance with

The bid preference shall not be applied to any work that receives federal moneys.
The bid preference required by Article 19 of Title 8, C.R.S. shall be suspended if such requirement would contravene any treaty, law, agreement or regulation of the United States, or would cause denial of federal moneys or preclude the ability of the District to access federal moneys that would otherwise be available.
