Notice is hereby given that the Board of Public Works and Safety for the City of Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana, will receive sealed bids for the above-described “Clay Center Road Path Construction and Culvert

Replacement Project” via the City’s e-Procurement Portal, https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/carmelin, until 9:00 am on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 and commencing as soon as practicable thereafter on the same date such bids will be publicly opened and read aloud in the Council Chambers of City Hall. No late bids will be accepted.

All bids and proposals shall be properly and completely executed on the proposal forms provided with the plans and specifications, which will include the non-collusion affidavit as required by the State of Indiana.

A bid bond or certified check in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the amount bid must be submitted with each bid. A one hundred percent (100%) performance and payment bond will also be required of the successful bidder. It is intended that actual construction of all work divisions shall be started as soon as practicable, and each bidder shall be prepared to enter promptly into a construction contract, furnish a performance bond, and begin work without delay in the event the award is made to him.

The Project consists of, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:

The addition of a 10’ wide multi-use path along the west side of Clay Center Road, from Clay Spring Drive to

500’ north of Brighton Avenue. The construction of the multi-use path will include ditch grading and storm sewer installation between the path and Clay Center Road as well as 8 curb ramps. A mid-block crossing at

Brighton Avenue is included to facilitate pedestrian traffic from the Springmill Streams neighborhood to the proposed path. The existing triple 84” pipes conveying Elliott Creek under Clay Center Road will be replaced with 64’ of 19’x7’ reinforced coated concrete box structure. Headwalls and wingwalls are required for the proposed structure. The pavement over the structure will be widened to provide an adequate shoulder and turn-lane taper.

Contract Documents and drawings for the Project can be found in this solicitation and the attachments section.

Bidders shall assure that they have obtained complete sets of drawings and Contract Documents and shall assume the risk of any errors or omissions in bids prepared in reliance on incomplete sets of drawings and

3. EXAMINATION OF SITE AND DOCUMENTS

A. Before the Bid Date, all Bidders shall carefully and thoroughly examine and inspect the entire site of the proposed Work and adjacent premises and the various means of approach and access thereto by means of a site inspection visit, and make all necessary investigations to inform themselves thoroughly as to the facilities necessary for delivering, placing and operating the necessary construction equipment, and for delivering and handling materials at the site, and shall inform themselves thoroughly as to any and all actual or potential difficulties, hindrances, delays and constraints involved in the commencement, prosecution and completion of the proposed Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract

Documents.

B. It shall be the sole responsibility of Bidders to make borings, test pits and to conduct such other investigations at or near the site of the proposed Work as they deem necessary to determine the character, location and amount of materials to be encountered or other subsurface conditions which could affect the manner, cost or time required to perform the Work.

C. Bidders shall carefully and thoroughly examine the plans, specifications and other Contract Documents and/or Project Manual as available on the portal and shall assume the full risk of their own judgments as to the nature, quality and amount of the whole of the Work to be done, and for the price Bid must assume all risk of any and all variances or errors in any computation or statement of amounts or quantities necessary to complete the Work in strict compliance with the Contract Documents.

Response and a determination as “Non-Responsive.”

5. BID SUBMISSION

A. All Bid Documents shall be submitted to the portal. All Bid Documents as herein prescribed must be submitted with, and as integral parts of, each Bid Submission and shall be subject to all requirements of the Contract Documents, including drawings and these Instructions To Bidders. Bid Documents must be properly filled in and completed in every material respect and without interlineations, excisions, special conditions, qualifications or exceptions. Each Bid Document requiring a signature shall be signed by an individual duly authorized to execute such Document on Bidder’s behalf. A Bid executed by a corporation, joint venture, or other entity with an assumed name shall have the legal and correct name thereof followed by the word “by” and the signature and title of the officer or other person authorized to sign for it and a corporate resolution or similar document authorizing such officer to bind the entity.

B. The Bid Documents to be thus submitted by each Bidder shall consist of both of the following:

1. Bidder’s Itemized Proposal and Declarations. The Bidder’s proposal and declarations must be included in the sections below.

2. Bid Security in the form of a Bid Bond or Certified Check in an amount not less than ten percent

(10%) of the Bid price. Such Bid Security shall serve as security to insure the execution of the

Agreement and the furnishing of other required Documents by the successful Bidder, including

Performance and Payment Bonds. A sample Bid Bond form is included in the Project Manual and such form, or such other form as may be approved in advance by OWNER, shall be utilized if such a bond is furnished as Bid Security. A Bid Bond shall be executed by a surety company licensed to transact such business in the State of Indiana and qualified as a surety under the underwriting limitations on the current list of “Surety Companies Acceptable on Federal Bonds,” as published in the U.S. Treasury Department Circular No. 570; the Bidder shall also furnish as part of the Bid

Submission a signed power of attorney establishing the authority of the person executing such Bid

Bond on behalf of the surety. Bid Security shall be held until the Contract is executed with the successful Bidder. In the event that all Bids are rejected, the Bid Security of all Bidders will be returned upon request. No “Annual” Bid bonds, cash deposits or cashiers’ checks will be accepted.

C. Bids may be unsubmitted via the portal prior to the time fixed for opening of Bids. No Bid may be withdrawn after opening of Bids has commenced except after expiration of such period following the

Bid Date as is specifically provided in the Notice to Bidders or as otherwise governed by law, plus any extension thereof as provided elsewhere in these Instructions To Bidders.

D. Bids will be received up to the time specified in the Notice to Bidders. Bids are unable to be submitted after the specified time.

6. POST-BID REQUIREMENTS

Within three (3) business days of notification by OWNER, the apparent lowest responsive Bidder will be required to submit additional Documents and satisfy additional requirements as conditions to such Bidder being found by the OWNER to be a responsible Bidder, as follows:

A. Proof of Insurability. The Bidder shall furnish: (1) proof of insurance showing existing coverage in accordance with the terms and amounts stated in the General Conditions, or (2) a letter or statement certifying that, in the event that the Bid is awarded by the OWNER, an insurance company will provide the required coverage to the Bidder submitting the Bid. Such proof of insurance or the letter/statement shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company authorized to do business in the State of

Indiana.

B. Surety Letter of Intent. The Bidder shall furnish a written statement or letter from a Surety company licensed to transact such business in the State of Indiana and qualified as a surety under the underwriting limitations on the current list of “Surety Companies Acceptable on Federal Bonds”, as published in U.S.

Treasury Department Circular No. 570 which assures the OWNER that, in the event the Bid is accepted and a Contract is awarded by OWNER, said Surety will execute and deliver both a Performance Bond and Payment Bond as required by the Contract Documents.

C. Joint Venture Agreement. If the Bidder is a joint venture, partnership or other combination of two or more persons or entities, the Bidder shall submit a copy of the joint venture or other Agreement by which such joint venture, partnership or other association has been formed, executed by all such participating persons or entities. If the Bid is signed by less than all parties that comprise the Bidder, suitable written evidence of the authority of such signing party to bind all such parties must also be furnished.

D. Manufacturers List. The Bidder shall submit a completed Manufacturers list on the form provided in the

Attachments.

E. Subcontractors List. The Bidder shall submit a completed Subcontractors list on the form provided in the

7. BID EVALUATION AND AWARD

A. Award of the Contract will be made to the lowest, most responsive and most responsible Bidder where the Bid is reasonable and does not exceed the funds available for the Project. The OWNER reserves the right to reject all Bids and may waive or allow a Bidder to correct errors, omissions or other irregularities in Bid Documents that are found not to have afforded the Bidder a substantial competitive advantage over other Bidders.

B. The OWNER shall have the right to reject any Bid if investigation of the Bidder fails to satisfy the

OWNER that such Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations and complete the Work. Any or all Bids will be rejected if there is reason to believe that collusion exists among Bidders.

C. For Contract Items and Unit Price, estimated quantities and unit prices will serve as the basis for determining the proposed price of each Bid. Patent math errors in statements of Unit Prices or Totals may be corrected by the OWNER or ENGINEER, in which case the corrected amounts will be used for the purpose of Bid evaluation, comparison and other award considerations. However, neither the

OWNER nor the ENGINEER shall be required to discover or correct any error or omission in a Bid and the Bidder shall assume the risk of and be bound to the consequences of any such error or omission.

D. The OWNER may, at its sole option, award the Contract to a Bidder on a conditional basis to afford the

Bidder additional time and opportunity to submit required Documents or to fulfill other requirements. In such case, the OWNER will furnish to the Bidder a notice of conditional award which will establish (i) the additional conditions to be fulfilled for the award to become effective, and (ii) the time limit within which such conditions shall be satisfied. If the Bidder fails to satisfy the conditions in the manner and within the time specified in such notice, the OWNER may declare such Bidder to be non-responsive and award the Contract, conditionally or unconditionally, to another Bidder. Time limitations governing the

OWNER’s award of the Contract shall be extended for such additional period as may be required to effectuate the conditional award procedure set forth in this sub-section, and no Bid may be withdrawn during such period of extension.

8. CONTRACT EXECUTION; SUBMITTALS

A. Within three (3) business days after the award notice, the successful Bidder shall sign and deliver at least five (5) counterparts of the Agreement, utilizing the form thereof included in the Project Manual and make delivery thereof to the OWNER, along with other Documents as prescribed by the Contract

Documents. After execution and delivery of the Agreement and other required Documents, and acceptance thereof by the OWNER, the Bid Security furnished by each Bidder will be returned to the respective Bidders upon request.

B. If the Bidder fails or neglects to execute and deliver the Agreement and other required Documents as prescribed by the preceding sub-section, the Bidder shall be deemed to have repudiated the Contract and thereupon the award shall be null and void; and the Bid Security provided by the Bidder shall be forfeited to and retained by the OWNER as liquidated damages for such failure of the Bidder to execute the Contract, it being understood and agreed that the character and amount of actual damages sustained by the OWNER cannot reliably be ascertained and measured and that the amount of the Bid Security is intended as a reasonable prospective estimate of such actual damages.

C. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Agreement to the OWNER, or within such other period as the OWNER may prescribe, the successful Bidder (CONTRACTOR) shall submit the following as conditions to the Bidder’s right to proceed with and receive payment for any Work:

1. A complete list of all Subcontractors to be used on the Work;

2. A one hundred percent (100%) Performance Bond, a one hundred percent (100%) Payment Bond and a ten percent (10%) Maintenance Bond as prescribed by the General Conditions or other

Contract Documents. Such bonds shall be executed utilizing the sample forms included in the

Project Manual or alternative forms approved in advance by the OWNER. Indemnification clauses between successful Bidder and the Surety shall not be binding upon the OWNER;

3. The preliminary schedules required by Paragraph 2.7 of the Standard General Conditions;

4. A schedule of wages to be paid by the Bidder and his/her Subcontractors to laborers for the Work;

and

5. Other post-Bid submittals required by the Contract Documents.

9. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

A. The Contract Documents provide for the payment of liquidated damages in the event of unexcused failure by the CONTRACTOR to complete the Work within the time required by the Contract

Documents.

B. The per diem rate(s) of liquidated damages established by the preceding sub-section have been determined and are intended as reasonable prospective estimate(s) of the type and amount of actual damages which the OWNER may sustain in the event of such delay(s). Submission of a Bid shall constitute an unconditional acknowledgment and Agreement by the Bidder that such liquidated damages are fair and reasonable and do not and will not constitute a penalty, and that such liquidated damages may be assessed and recovered by the OWNER as against the successful Bidder and its Surety in lieu of actual damages for delayed completion.

10. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

In the attachments are sample forms proposed to be used for the issuance of change orders, field orders, and work directive changes. Procedure for the development, submittal and processing of these forms will be discussed during the pre-construction conference.
