3.3. Questions and/or Objections

It is to the City and Proposer's benefit that questions and objections are brought to the City's attention so it may issue necessary amendments to the ITB and help prevent the opening of defective proposals upon which the City could not award a Contract.

B. A Proposer must comply with all of the terms and instruction of this ITB, and all applicable state and local laws and regulations. Any Proposal that does not meet the requirements of this ITB may be considered to be nonresponsive and rejected.

C. A Proposer may not restrict the rights of the City or otherwise qualify a Proposal. If a Proposer does so, the City may determine the Proposal is a nonresponsive counteroffer, and the Proposal may be rejected.

D. The City reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to waive variances in a Proposal, provided such action is in the best interest of the City. Where the City waives variances in a Proposal, such waiver does not modify the ITB requirements or excuse the Proposer from full compliance with the ITB. Notwithstanding any variance, the City may hold any Proposer to strict compliance with the ITB.

3.6. Prohibition of Respondent Terms and Conditions

A Proposer shall not submit their own contract terms and conditions in a Proposal. If a Proposal contains such terms and conditions, the City, at its sole discretion, may reject the Proposal.

The cost for any such additional services shall be mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the City, and incorporated into the

Contract before execution.

3.10. Severability

If any provision of this ITB is declared by a court to be illegal or in conflict with any law, the validity of the remaining terms and provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the City and

Proposers shall be construed and enforced as if the ITB did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid.

3.11. Licensure and Special Certification

Before executing the Contract pursuant to this ITB, the Contractor must hold all necessary business and professional licenses and certifications to complete the Scope of Work. The City may require any or all

Proposers to submit evidence of proper licensure and certifications.

3.12. Disclosure of Proposal Contents

All Proposals and other materials submitted to the City related to this ITB shall become the property of the City. Selection or rejection of a Proposal does not affect this right.

Portions of a Proposal exempt from public disclosure by law may be protected from public disclosure by the City. A Proposer is required to clearly label such portion of a Proposal "CONFIDENTIAL" and list the grounds for non-disclosure. In doing so, the Proposer thereby agrees to indemnify and defend the City from any action arising from the non-disclosure of the information. The failure to so label any information shall constitute a complete waiver of all claims for damages caused by or related to any release of the information.

3.13. Conflict of Interest and Restrictions

By submitting a Proposal, the Proposer certifies that no amount shall be paid directly or indirectly to an employee or official of the City as wages, compensation, or gifts in exchange for acting as an officer, agent, employee, subcontractor, or consultant to the Proposer in connection with the procurement under this ITB.

3.14. Proprietary Information

A copy of each Proposal shall be retained for official files and will become public record after the award of a contract unless the Proposal, or specific parts of the Proposal, can be shown to be exempt by law.

Each Proposer may clearly label any part of a Proposal as "CONFIDENTIAL." In doing so, the Proposer thereby agrees to indemnify and defend the City for withholding the information from public inspection.

Failure to label information shall constitute a complete waiver of all claims for damages caused by or related to any release of the information.

If a public records request for appropriately-labeled information is received by the City, the City will endeavor to notify the Proposer of the request and delay access to the material until seven (7) working days after the City’s notice.

6. Contract Award

6.1. Opening & Award of Contract

Bids will be opened publicly and read aloud at the time and date established in the invitation to Bidders.

Bid Summaries may be made available to Bidders after the Bid Date.

https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/285796554413405?p=mAyjsEBTSqHzHC

ZuZG

The City reserves the right to accept or reject any and all Bids for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of opening, and to waive any informality or irregularity in any Bid. No Bid can be withdrawn during that period, except pursuant to Public Contract Code section 5102, et seq. 1751480.1 7203-001

The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including, without limitation, the right to reject any non-conforming, non-responsive, or conditional bids.

Before a Bid is considered for award, the City may, in addition to the Experience & Qualifications form included in the Bid documents, require a Bidder to submit a statement of facts and detail as to its business, technical organization and financial resources and equipment available and to be used in performing the work. Additionally, the City may require evidence that the Bidder has performed other work of comparable magnitude and type. The City expressly reserves the right to reject any Bid if it determines that the business and technical organization, equipment, financial and other resources or other experience of the Bidder (including the bidder’s Subcontractors) is not sufficiently qualified for the work Bid upon and, therefore, justifies such rejection.

Award of Contract

The award of the Contract, if it is awarded, will be to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder whose

Bid complies with the requirements set forth herein. The City reserves the right to award the Contract based on the Base Bid alone or the Base Bid plus any combination of Additive Alternate Bid items, in any order, as determined to be in the best interest of the City.

The issuance by the City of a notice to the successful Bidder of the award of the Contract (“Notice of

Award”) shall be deemed the Award of Contract.

6.2. Bid Protests

The lack of a prompt procedure to resolve disputes regarding the bidding process would impair the

City’s ability to carry out its purpose of constructing this project in a timely manner. Therefore, to the maximum extent authorized by law and notwithstanding any other procedures specified in documents referenced herein, all disputes and/or protests regarding the bidding process shall be subject to the following procedure. In submitting a Bid to the City for this project, the Bidder agrees to comply with and to be bound by this procedure.

Any Bid protest must be submitted in writing to the Director of Capital Projects & Transportation of the

City of West Sacramento before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) working day following Bid opening.

(a) The initial protest document must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest, and all supporting documentation.

(b) The party filing the protest must have actually submitted a Bid for the Work. A Subcontractor of a party submitting a Bid for the Work may not submit a Bid protest. A party may not rely on the Bid protest submitted by another Bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest.

(c) The protest must refer to the specific portion of the Contract Documents which forms the basis for the protest.

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

(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 which 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 City will give the protested Bidder five (5) working days after the receipt of the protest to submit a written response. The responding Bidder shall transmit the response to the protesting Bidder concurrent with delivery to the City.

(g) The procedure and time limits set forth in this paragraph are mandatory and are the Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Bid protest. The 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.

(h) If the City determines that a protest is frivolous, the protesting Bidder may be determined to be non-responsible and that Bidder may be determined to be ineligible for future contract awards.
