Partial sets of Bid Documents will not be issued in response to requests by subject matter.

Complete sets of Bid Documents must be used in preparing Bids; neither Owner nor Engineer assumes any responsibility for errors or misrepresentations resulting from the use of incomplete sets of Quoting Documents.

Owner and Engineer, in making copies of Quoting Documents available on the above terms, do so only for the purpose of obtaining Bids for the Work and do not confer a license or grant for any other use.

3. QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS. To demonstrate qualifications to perform the Work, Bidder may be required to submit written evidence on financial data, previous experience, present commitments, and other such data as may be requested by Owner or Engineer. Each Bid must contain evidence of Bidder’s qualification to do business in the state where the Project is located, or Bidder must agree to obtain such qualification prior to award of the Contract.

4. EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SITE. It is the responsibility of each Bidder, before submitting a Bid, to (a) thoroughly examine the Contract Documents, (b) visit the site to become familiar with local conditions that may affect cost, progress, performance, or furnishing of the Work, (c) consider federal, state, and local laws and regulations that may affect cost, progress, performance, or furnishing of the Work, (d) study and carefully correlate Bidder’s observations with the Contract Documents, and (e) notify Engineer of all conflicts, errors, or discrepancies discovered by Bidder in the Contract Documents.

4.02. Underground Facilities. Information and data reflected in the Contract Documents with respect to underground facilities at or contiguous to the site are based upon information and data furnished to Owner and Engineer by owners of such underground facilities or others, and Owner and Engineer disclaim responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the Supplementary Conditions.

4.03. Additional Information. Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder will, at Bidder’s own expense, make or obtain any additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests, and studies and obtain any additional information and data which pertain to the physical conditions (surface, subsurface, and underground facilities) at or contiguous to the site or otherwise which may affect cost, progress, performance, or furnishing of the Work and which Bidder deems necessary to determine its Bid for performing and furnishing the Work in accordance with the time, price, and other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.

https://concordnc.gov/Departments/Finance/Purchasing/RFPs-RFQs-and-Bids

On request 24 hours in advance, Owner will provide each Bidder access to the site to conduct such explorations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of a Bid. Bidder shall fill all holes and clean up and restore the site to its former condition upon completion of such explorations.

Arrangements for site visits shall be made by calling the office of the Director of Engineering for the City of Concord at 704.920.5425.

4.04. Easements. The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way and easements for access thereto, and other lands designated for use by Contractor in performing the Work are identified in the Contract Documents. All additional lands and access thereto required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and equipment are to be provided by Contractor. Easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing structures are to be obtained and paid for by Owner unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.

4.05. Unit Price Contracts. Bidders must satisfy themselves of the accuracy of the estimated quantities in the Bid schedule by examination of the site and a review of the drawings and the specifications, including the addenda. After Bids have been submitted, the Bidder shall not assert that there was a misunderstanding concerning the quantities of work or the nature of the work to be done.

4.06. Bidder’s Representation. The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by Bidder that Bidder has complied with every requirement concerning examination of the Contract Documents and the site, that without exception the Bid is premised upon performing and furnishing the Work required by the Contract Documents, and that the Contract Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions for performance and furnishing of the Work.

5. INTERPRETATIONS AND ADDENDA. All questions about the meaning or intent of the Quoting Documents and the Contract Documents shall be submitted to Owner in writing. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by Owner in response to such questions will be issued by Addenda mailed or delivered to all parties recorded by Engineer as having received the Quoting Documents.

Questions received less than 10 days prior to the date for opening of Bids may not be answered. Only answers issued by Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.

6. BID SECURITY. Each Proposal must be accompanied by a deposit equal to 5% of the net price bid. This deposit may consist of cash, or a Cashier's Check issued by, or a Certified Check drawn on a Bank or Trust Company authorized to do business in North Carolina, or on a Bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or a U.S. Money Order, payable to the City of Concord or 5% Bid Bond in the form required by G.S. 143-129 as amended, issued by an Insurance Company authorized to do business in North Carolina, said deposit to be retained in the event of failure of the successful bidder to execute a formal contract within ten (10) days after award or to give satisfactory surety required.

The Bid security of the Successful Bidder (if so required) will be retained until such Bidder has executed the Agreement, furnished the required contract security (if so required), and met the other conditions of the Notice of Award, whereupon the Bid security will be returned. If the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Agreement and furnish the required contract security within the number of days set forth in the Bid Form, Owner may annul the Notice of Award and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited.

The Bid security (if so required) of other Bidders whom Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award may be retained by Owner until the earlier of 7 days after the Effective Date of the Agreement or the day after the last day the Bid remain subject to acceptance as set forth in the Bid Form, whereupon Bid security furnished by such Bidders will be returned. Bid security accompanying Bid which are deemed by Owner to be noncompetitive will be returned within 7 days after the designated Bid opening.

7. CONTRACT TIMES. The numbers of calendar days within which, or the dates by which, the Work is to be substantially completed and also completed and ready for final payment (the Contract Times) are set forth in the Bid Form.

8. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Provisions for liquidated damages, if any, are set forth in the Agreement.

9. SUBSTITUTES OR "OR-EQUAL ITEMS. Bidder’s attention is directed to Article 6.5 of the General Conditions concerning substitutes and "or-equal" items. Where an item or material is specified by a proprietary name, it is done for the purpose of establishing a basis of quality and not for the purpose of limiting competition. The Engineer's intent is to consider alternative products which have the desired essential characteristics. The Engineer will consider any such products offered. Requests for acceptance of alternative products shall be made through Bidders quoting as prime Contractors. Acceptances for substitutions will not be granted directly to suppliers, distributors, or subcontractors. Pursuant to Section 133-3, General Statutes of North Carolina, the following procedures shall be used:

Bidders desiring to submit alternative product proposals for prior acceptance of the Engineers shall submit, in writing, such proposals from __n/a__, until _n/a__. Applications received after this time will not be reviewed. Each such request shall include the name of the material or equipment for which it is to be substituted and a complete description of the proposed substitute, including drawings, cuts, performance and test data, and other information necessary for an evaluation. A statement setting forth any changes in other materials, equipment, or other work that incorporation of the substitute would require shall be included. The Engineer shall consider and either accept or reject all alternative product proposals submitted.

If, by the close of the fifth day prior to the deadline for receiving Bid, the Engineer has accepted any alternative product proposals, the Quoting Documents shall be modified to include the alternative products.

The Engineer shall publish the modification in an Addenda at least 5 days prior to the deadline for receiving Bids. The Engineer's decision of acceptance or rejection of a proposed substitute shall be final.

10. SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, AND OTHERS. If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations (including those who are to furnish the principal items of material and equipment) to be submitted to Owner in advance of a specified date prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement, the apparent Successful Bidder, and any other Bidder so requested, shall within 3 days after the opening submit to Owner the List of Subcontractors completed with all such Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations proposed for those portions of the Work for which such identification is required. The list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such Subcontractor, Supplier, person, or organization, if requested by Owner. If Owner or Engineer after due investigation has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, or other person or organization, Owner may, before the Notice of Award is given, request the apparent Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in the Bid.

All Subcontractors shall be a licensed utility contractor in the State of North Carolina.

11. BID FORM. The Bid Form is bound in the Quoting Documents and shall not be removed therefrom.

Bid Forms must be completed in ink.

Bids by partnerships must be executed in the partnership name and signed by a partner. Bids by joint ventures shall be signed by each participant in the joint venture or by a representative of the joint venture accompanied by evidence of authority to sign for the joint venture.

The names of all persons signing shall be legibly printed below the signature. A Bid by a person who affixes to his signature the word "president", "secretary", "agent", or other designation without disclosing his principal may be held to be the Bid of the individual signing. When requested by Owner, evidence of the authority of the person signing shall be furnished.

All blanks in the Bid Form shall be filled. A Bid price shall be indicated for each unit price item listed therein, or the words "No Bid", "No Charge", "No Change", or other appropriate phrase shall be entered.

The Bid shall contain an acknowledgment of receipt of all Addenda; the numbers and dates of which shall be filled in on the Bid Form.

No alterations in Bids, or in the printed forms therefore, by erasures, interpolations, or otherwise will be acceptable unless each such alteration is signed or initialed by the Bidder; if initialed, Owner may require the Bidder to identify any alteration so initialed.

11.01. Bid Pricing. The Bidder shall complete the schedule of unit prices included in the Bid Form and shall accept all fixed unit prices listed therein.

The total Bid will be determined as the sum of the products of the estimated quantity of each item and the unit price Bid. The final Contract Price will be subject to adjustment according to final measured, used, or delivered quantities as provided in Article 9.7 of the General Conditions, and the unit prices in the Bid will apply to such final quantities except that unit prices will be subject to change by Change Order as stipulated in the Supplementary Conditions.

11.02. Contingency. The Contingency is to be added to the Bid price and is to be used for minor change order items. If the Contingency is to be used, a scope of work and price would be negotiated. The Contingency is for the sole use of Owner. A change order will be issued to delete any unauthorized portion of the Contingency.
