Any prospective bidder who desires an explanation or interpretation of the plans, specification, or any of the contract documents, shall request such in writing from the Awarding Authority, in sufficient time to allow a written reply by the Awarding Authority that can reach all prospective bidders before the submission of their bids. Any reply given a prospective bidder concerning any of the contract documents, plans, and specifications will be furnished to all prospective bidders in the form determined by the Awarding Authority including, but not limited to, an addendum, if the information is deemed by the Awarding Authority to be necessary in submitting bids or if the Awarding Authority concludes the information would aid competition.

Oral explanations, interpretations, or instructions given before the submission of bids unless at a prebid conference will not be binding on the Awarding Authority.

The proposal shall be executed properly, and bids shall be made for all items indicated in the proposal form, except when alternate bids are asked, a bid on more than one alternate for each item is not required, unless otherwise provided.

(e) If the proposal form is other than that furnished by the Awarding Authority; or if the form is altered or any part thereof is detached.

(f) If there are omissions, erasures, alterations, unauthorized additions, conditional or alternate bids, or irregularities of any kind which may tend to make the proposal incomplete, indefinite or ambiguous as to its meaning.

(h) If the proposal is not accompanied by the proper proposal guaranty.

(i) If the proposal is prepared with other than ink or typewriter, or otherwise fails to meet the requirements of the above "Preparation of Proposal" section.

Over $35,000,000 $1,000,000

In the event that one proposal guaranty check is intended to cover two or more proposals, the amount must equal to the sum of the proposal guaranties which would be required for each individual proposal.

Bank cashier's checks or properly certified checks accompanying proposals shall be made payable to the County Treasurer, when a County is the Awarding Authority; or the City, Village, or Town Treasurer, when a city, village, or town is the Awarding Authority.

The proposal guaranty checks of all, except the two lowest responsible, will be returned promptly after the proposals have been checked, tabulated, and the relation of the proposals established. Proposal guaranty checks of the two lowest bidders will be returned as soon as the contract and contract bond of the successful bidder have been properly executed and approved.

Bid bonds will not be returned.

After a period of three working days has elapsed after the date of opening proposals, the Awarding Authority may permit the two lowest bidders to substitute for the bank cashier's checks or certified checks submitted with their proposals as proposal guaranties, bid bonds on the Department forms executed by corporate surety companies satisfactory to the Awarding Authority.

Delivery of Proposals. If a special envelope is supplied by the Awarding Authority, each proposal should be submitted in that envelope furnished by the Awarding Authority and the blank spaces on the envelope shall be filled in correctly to clearly indicate its contents. When an envelope other than the special one furnished by the Awarding Authority is used, it shall be marked to clearly indicate its contents. When sent by mail, the sealed proposal shall be addressed to the Awarding Authority at the address and in care of the official in whose office the bids are to be received. All proposals shall be filed prior to the time and at the place specified in the Notice to Bidders. Proposals received after the time specified will be returned to the bidder unopened.

Withdrawal of Proposals. Permission will be given a bidder to withdraw a proposal if the bidder makes the request in writing or in person before the time for opening proposals.

Public Opening of Proposals. Proposals will be opened and read publicly at the time and place specified in the Notice to Bidders. Bidders, their authorized agents, and other interested parties are invited to be present.

Consideration of Proposals. After the proposals are opened and read, they will be compared on the basis of the summation of the products of the quantities shown in the bid schedule by the unit bid prices. In awarding contracts, the Awarding Authority will, in addition to considering the amounts stated in the proposals, take into consideration the responsibility of the various bidders as determined from a study of the data required under "Prequalification of Bidders", and from other investigations which it may elect to make.

The right is reserved to reject any or all proposals, to waive technicalities, or to advertise for new proposals, if in the judgment of the Awarding Authority, the best interests of the Awarding Authority will be promoted thereby.

Award of Contract. The award of contract will be made within 45 calendar days after the opening of proposals to the lowest responsible and qualified bidder whose proposal complies with all the requirements prescribed. The successful bidder will be notified by letter of intent that his/her bid has been accepted, and subject to the following conditions, the bidder will be the Contractor.

An approved contract executed by the Awarding Authority is required before the Awarding Authority is bound. An award may be cancelled any time by the Awarding Authority prior to execution in order to protect the public interest and integrity of the bidding process or for any other reason if, in the judgment of the Awarding Authority, the best interests of the Awarding Authority will be promoted thereby.

If a contract is not awarded within 45 days after the opening of proposals, bidders may file a written request with the Awarding Authority for the withdrawal of their bid, and the Awarding Authority will permit such withdrawal.

Requirement of Contract Bond. If the Awarding Authority requires a Contract Bond, the Contractor or Supplier shall furnish the Awarding Authority a performance and payment bond with good and sufficient sureties in the full amount of the contract as the penal sum. The surety shall be acceptable to the Awarding Authority, shall waive notice of any changes and extensions of time, and shall submit its bond on the form furnished by the Awarding Authority.

Execution of Contract. The contract shall be executed by the successful bidder and returned, together with the Contract Bond, within 15 days after the contract has been mailed to the bidder.

If the bidder to whom the award is made is a corporation organized under the laws of a State other than Illinois, the bidder shall furnish the Awarding Authority a copy of the corporation's Certificate of Authority to do business in the State of Illinois with the return of the executed contract and bond. Failure to furnish such evidence of a Certificate of Authority within the time required will be considered as just cause for the annulment of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guaranty to the Awarding Authority, not as a penalty, but in payment of liquidated damages sustained as a result of such failure.

Failure to Execute Contract. If the contract is not executed by the Awarding Authority within 15 days following receipt from the bidder of the properly executed contracts and bonds, the bidder shall have the right to withdraw his/her bid without penalty.

Failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract and file acceptable bonds within 15 days after the contract has been mailed to the bidder shall be just cause for the cancellation of the award and the forfeiture of the proposal guaranty which shall become the property of the Awarding Authority, not as penalty, but in liquidation of damages sustained. Award may then be made to the next lowest responsible bidder, or the work may be readvertised and constructed under contract, or otherwise, as the Awarding Authority may decide.”

CITY OF QUINCY SPECIAL PROVISION FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION

PROGRAM

In addition to any and all other labor requirements set forth in this request, the State of Illinois requires:

Before any contractor commences work on a public works program, the contractor shall have in place a written program that meets or exceeds the requirements in “Public Act 095-0635, Substance Abuse Prevention on Public Works Projects Act”, or shall have a collective bargaining agreement in effect dealing with the subject matter in the above Act.

The prime contractor and all subcontractors shall file with the Director of Purchasing, City of Quincy, 730 Maine Street, Quincy, Illinois 62301, a copy of the “Substance Abuse Prevention Program” along with a cover letter certifying their program meets or exceeds the requirements of the Act, or a letter certifying that the prime contractor and subcontractors have a collective bargaining agreement in effect dealing with the subject matter of the above Act.

With reference to the above, all programs and letters received shall be retained on file in the office of the Director of Purchasing, and shall be available for public inspection.

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY

In addition to the requirements of Article 107.09 of the Standard Specifications, add the following:

The Contractor shall be required to notify the Engineer at least 7 calendar days prior to the initiation of any work in this proposed improvement.

The Contractor shall be required to notify the Engineer at least 24 hours prior to the closure of the street pavements scheduled for surface removal in this proposed improvement.

The Contractor shall be required to provide a minimum of 24 hour advance notice to any business or residence losing the short term use of their driveway entrance which has direct access to the proposed improvement (or on-street parking in front of their property) due to construction activities. A card or mimeographed notification letter may be used for this purpose.

At minimum, the card or letter should contain:

Name of the Contractor and contact information for any questions or concerns.

Estimated date, time, and duration of the loss of access.

Notice that off street parking, if applicable, is prohibited during that time frame.

Request that no deliveries be made during the time frame of the closure.

The Contractor shall also be responsible for notifying the 9-1-1 Emergency Services Center of the total or partial closure by contacting it at 217/222-9360 (the non-emergency #). The Center in turn will notify the other community emergency services. Information requested will include date of the closure, expected length of closure, and the names of two individuals with telephone numbers to be reached in case of emergency. Failure by the Contractor to notify the 9-1-1 Center in advance of a street closing will be grounds for enforcement and penalties under appropriate city ordinances.

The Contractor and all subcontractors shall not utilize adjoining parking lots of commercial establishments outside the right-of-way or easement areas for any construction equipment, workers vehicles, or any other construction use unless a copy of a written agreement between the Contractor and the property owner is filed with the Engineer.

The City of Quincy will be responsible during the duration of this project for notifying the United States Postal Service of the proposed construction and determining the best method(s) of insuring continued service. The City will also be responsible for contacting other community services such as garbage collection, school bus routes and senior citizen services to insure their continued operation with the least impact on the affected residences.

Due to the location of this project within the street system of Quincy, the required mounting distances of the advance warning signs stipulated on the applicable traffic control standards may be changed at the direction of the Engineer to better accommodate the existing traffic control characteristics and sight visibility at the project site.

LEGAL REGULATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC

Revise Article 107.26 Indemnification to include:

The City of Quincy shall not be responsible for the settlement of any damage claims by a motorist(s) resulting from the work being done for this contract. All claims submitted to the City of Quincy shall be forwarded to the Contractor.

CONSTRUCTION ON PRIVATE PROPERTY

Whenever excavation is made within a temporary or permanent construction easement, on private property for driveways, sidewalks, steps, retaining walls, utility connections, tree plantings or other construction, the topsoil disturbed by the excavation operations shall be restored as nearly as possible to its original position and the whole area involved in the construction operation shall be left in a neat and presentable condition.

The Contractor shall use reasonable care to avoid disturbing portions of private property not necessary to the construction operations. If, in the judgment of the Engineer, areas are disturbed unnecessarily, the Contractor shall restore these areas at his own expense. The Contractor shall not pile excavated material outside the limits of Right-of-Way upon adjacent private property without the written consent of the property owner and Engineer.

The cost of compliance with this Special Provision will not be paid for separately but shall be considered, as included in the cost of the various contract pay items and no additional compensation will be allowed.

CONFINED SPACE OPERATIONS

The Contractor is hereby notified that all existing manholes, both sanitary and storm or combination thereof, all sewer pipe and all storm water inlets are declared as a confined space as defined by OSHA regulation, and which may contain or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere.

The definition of confined space is any enclosed space that has the following characteristics:

1. Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and

2. Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and

3. Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.

The reconstruction of manholes and inlets will usually result in the removal of the existing structure through the use of equipment operating from the exterior of the structure. Once the structure lid or roof has been removed and the depth of the structure is reduced to less than five

(5) feet in depth, it is no longer a confined space.

Work on structures that are to remain and which require work within the interior of the structure is classified as a confined space entry. The Resident Engineer reserves the right to request a copy of the Contractor’s “Confined Space Written Program” for review prior to any entry. The Resident Engineer will coordinate with the Contractor in executing a permit space entry meeting OSHA requirements. The Resident Engineer will be available for debriefing the Contractor at the conclusion of the entry operation(s) regarding the permit space program followed and regarding any hazards confronted or created in permit spaces during entry operations.

The City of Quincy maintains its own program on confined space entry. In no case shall the Contractor request any City of Quincy employee or representative of the city of Quincy to enter a confined space without that employee first obtaining clearance under the city’s own permit system.

Failure to comply with the OSHA regulations on confined space entry will result in an immediate suspension of the work until such compliance is achieved. Working or calendar days will continue to be assessed during the suspension period.

The Contractor must still comply with all OSHA requirements on trench safety for work on all sewage and storm water related structures.

The potential hazardous atmosphere that could be encountered in all work associated with sewage and storm water work includes but is not limited to the following:

A. Methane gas concentrations;

B. Low oxygen concentrations;

C. The presence of hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and other vapors.

PREVAILING WAGE

This contract calls for the construction of a "public work," within the meaning of the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, 820 ILCS 130/.01 et seq. ("the Act"). The Act requires contractors and subcontractors to pay laborers, workers and mechanics performing services on public works projects no less than the current "prevailing rate of wages" (hourly cash wages plus amount for fringe benefits) in the county where the work is performed.

For information regarding current prevailing wage rates, please refer to the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) website at https://www2.illinois.gov/idol/Pages/default.aspx.

The Illinois Department of Labor revises the prevailing wage rates and the contractor/ subcontractor has an obligation to check the Department's web site for revisions to prevailing wage rates.

COMPLETION DATE

The Contractor shall complete all work on or before the completion date of this contract which will be June 1st, 2027.

Liquidated damages shall be in accordance with Article 108.09 of the Standard Specifications if the Contractor fails to meet these deadlines.
