All formal IFBs advertised by the City of Colorado Springs are solicited in accordance with the City's Procurement Rules and Regulations.

Any discrepancies or conflicting statements, decisions regarding bidding irregularities, or clarifications regarding clauses or specifications will be rectified utilizing the City’s Procurement Rules and Regulations, when applicable.

1.8 MINOR INFORMALITIES/IRREGULARITIES IN BIDS

A. A minor informality or irregularity is one that is merely a matter of form and not of substance.

It also pertains to some immaterial defect in a Bid or variation of a Bid from the exact requirements of the invitation that can be corrected or waived without being prejudicial to other Bidders. The defect or variation is considered immaterial when the effect on price, quantity, quality, or delivery is negligible when contrasted with the total cost or scope of the goods and/or services being acquired.

B26-056JW 5

B. If the City Procurement Services Division determines that a Bid submitted contains a minor informality or irregularity, then the Procurement Services Manager shall either give the Bidder an opportunity to cure any deficiency resulting from the minor informality or irregularity or waive the deficiency, whichever is to the advantage of the City. In no event will the Bidder be allowed to change the Bid amount. Examples of minor informalities or irregularities include but are not limited to the following:

1. Bidder fails to sign the Bid, but only if the unsigned Bid is accompanied by other material evidence, which indicates the Bidder’s intention to be bound by the unsigned Bid (such as Bid security, or signed cover letter which references the Bid Number and amount of Bid).

2. Bidder fails to acknowledge an Amendment, although this may be considered a minor informality only if the Amendment, which was not acknowledged, involves only a matter of form or has either no effect or merely a negligible effect on the price, quantity, quality, or delivery of the item or services bid upon.

1.9 REJECTION OF BIDS

The Procurement Services Manager has the authority to reject any Bid based on, but not limited to, the following:

A. Any Bid that fails to conform to the essential requirements of the Invitation for Bids shall be rejected.

B. Any Bid that does not conform to the applicable specifications shall be rejected unless the IFB authorizes the submission of alternate bids and the items or services offered as alternates meet the requirements specified in the IFB.

C. A Bid that fails to conform to the specified delivery schedule.

D. A Bid shall be rejected when the Bidder imposes conditions that would modify the requirements of the IFB or limit the Bidder’s liability to the City since to allow the Bidder to impose such conditions would be prejudicial to other Bidders.

For example, Bids shall be rejected in which the Bidder:

1. Protects against future changes in conditions, such as increased costs, if total possible costs to the City cannot be determined. This includes failure to completely fill out the required bid schedule.

2. Fails to state a price and indicates that price shall be “price in effect at time delivery”.

3. States a price but qualifies it as being subject to “price in effect at the time of delivery”.

4. Takes exceptions to the IFB terms and conditions.

5. Inserts the Bidder’s terms and conditions.

6. Limits the rights of the City under any Contract/Invitation for Bid clause.

E. Any Bid in which the price is considered to be unreasonable or is over budget.

F. Any Bid if the prices are determined to be unbalanced.

G. Bids received from any person or contractor that is suspended, debarred, proposed for debarment, or under investigation for fraud, including failure to pay federal, state, local, or city

B26-056JW 6

taxes.

H. When a bid guarantee is required and the bidder fails to furnish the guarantee in accordance with the requirements of the IFB.

I. Low Bids received from bidders who are determined to be non-responsible in accordance with the City’s Procurement Rules and Regulations.

J. Any Bid that was prepared and submitted by a vendor who has been determined by the

Procurement Services Manager to have an unfair advantage over other Bidders. Examples of an unfair advantage include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. A previous or prior employee who in the last six (6) months was directly involved in the design or specification preparation of the completed procurement.

2. A vendor who was directly involved in the design or specification preparation of the completed project either for pay or voluntarily.

This clause will take precedence over any/all other estimated quantity clauses that conflict with this clause.

All unit prices shall include all necessary overhead and profit.
