INTERPRETATION OF DOCUMENTS

If the true meaning, spirit, and intent of the Drawings, Project Manual or any part of the proposed contract documents are in doubt, a bidder may request for interpretation thereof, provided the request is received by the Architect in sufficient time to issue an Addendum. ANY INTERPRETATION OF BIDDING

DOCUMENTS, if made, WILL BE BY ADDENDUM ONLY, duly issued to each bidder receiving a copy of said documents. The Owner and Architect are not responsible for any other explanations or interpretations made prior to closing time for receipt of bids. NO EXPLANATIONS OR INTERPRETATIONS MADE

ORALLY WILL BE CONSIDERED BINDING.

BIDDERS OBLIGATIONS

Before submitting bids, carefully examine the Drawings, Project Manual, and proposed Contract Documents, including Addenda. Visit the proposed site of work to assess all conditions which can affect the work or cost thereof. Report to the Architect errors, inconsistencies or ambiguities discovered.

Use complete sets of Bidding Documents in preparing Bids; neither the Owner nor Architect assumes responsibility for errors or misinterpretations resulting from the use of incomplete sets of Bidding Documents by bidders or sub-bidders, suppliers, etc.

Each Bidder is responsible for calling to the attention of the Architect any ambiguities, inconsistencies, discrepancies, errors, or omissions which occur in the Contract Documents for his part of the Work. Failing to request clarification, the Bidder will be expected to overcome such conditions without additions to his bid prices.

Should conflicts, errors, or discrepancies remain unresolved within the final seven days before bids are due, estimate on and furnish the greater quantity or better quality unless resolution is received in writing from the

Architect.

Clare Gladwin RESD Division 00 9

Fill in all blanks in the bid forms. Mark non-applicable portions with NA or line out. Incomplete bid forms may be grounds for disqualification of the bid at the discretion of the Owner or Architect.

The bidder is responsible to divide the Work identified in the Drawings and Specifications among the various trades, subtrades, vendors, and his/her own work force. The Work appears in the Drawings and these specifications in an arbitrary arrangement of drawing titles and specification sections. It is not intended to define the work of each trade, subtrade, or vendor by means of this arrangement. It will be assumed that

Work not assigned to a trade, subtrade, or vendor will be responsibility of the Contractor and is included in the bid. No exceptions will be considered unless clearly written on a separate sheet attached to the Bid Form at the time of bid.

GREENHOUSE PACKAGE

The Greenhouse package has been pre-selected but not ordered. The cost of that package ($26,127.00) is to be included in the cost of the work and the delivery of the package is to be received by the Contractor. This price includes shipping but does not include installation. Installation is to be by the Contractor. If desired, bidders may contract with the Greenhouse Provder (Greenhouse Megastore) for the installation. The cost of that work as quoted by the provider is $16,610.00. Gas, water, drain and electrical connections to each piece of equipment are to be provided by the Contractor. Coordinate the location of those feeds with the

Greenhouse installation. Floor slab, concrete stoops, sitework, foundation and trench drain are to be provided by the Contractor and are not part of the Greenhouse Package.

STUDENT LABOR

It is the intent of The Owner to involve the Construction Trades Classes of the RESD in the construction of the pole building. Students will not be involved in the construction of the Greenhouse. The instructor of the class is a licensed home builder and will be present and responsible for the students when they are on site.

The Clare Gladwin RESD will cover all insurance for the students working on the project so there will be no cost to the Contractor. Students are capable of performing the following work: Rough and Finish Carpentry, installation of metal siding and roofing, installation of swing doors and hardware and forming and pouring concrete. They are not able to perform any electrical work, sitework or paving. The construction of this building will be their primary class involvement for the fall semester of 2020. The CGRESD would like to have them involved to the maximum extent possible. There is no charge for their services, however bidders should know that the timeframe of construction will be longer than normal due to the limits on the student availability, time of day, etc. To that extent, bidders should allow for ample supervision time to cover the extended construction period. The CGRESD has a fork lift, a skid steer and a tractor that are available for use on the project and the students will all have their own tools. The CGRESD requests that the bidders estimate the amount of student worker time that is incorporated in their bid and state that figure in the space provided on the bid form. All materials are to be furnished by the Contractor.

BID SUBMITTAL

Submit 3 copies of the bid on forms (or copies of forms) provided by the Architect. Deliver in sealed, opaque envelope bearing the following inscription:

NEW STORAGE BLDG & GREENHOUSE Section 00 73 36

Clare Gladwin RESD Division 00 21

00 73 36 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

00 73 36 PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 INCLUDED PROVISIONS - The General Conditions and Supplementary Conditions apply to this work.

1.2 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY - All contractors shall comply with the

Executive Directive l975-76 for "Civil Rights Compliance in State and Federal Contracts" and in particular the following paragraphs of that Directive: "In any program or activity funded in whole or in part with State funds, a recipient or contractor may not (directly or indirectly through contractual arrangements) subject any individual to unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, age, or sex in its employment practices. These practices include recruitment, recruitment advertising, hiring, layoff, termination, upgrading, demotion, transfer, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, use of facilities, and all other terms and conditions of employment.

1.3 EMPLOYEE SELECTION PROCEDURES - The Michigan Department of Civil Rights in carrying out its responsibilities under the Michigan Constitution and Public Act 251, has adopted and promulgated the Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures as published by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), to assist in establishing and maintaining equal employment opportunities. Among other things, these Guidelines forbid the use of employee selection practices, procedures, and devices (e.g., tests, minimum educational levels, experience) which disqualify a disproportionate number of minority individuals or women for employment and which are not related to job performance.

1.4 SEX DISCRIMINATION

A. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights has adopted and promulgated Guidelines on

Sex Discriminations as published by the EEOC. Among special requirements related to equal opportunity for women are:

1. There can be no distinction based upon sex in employment opportunities, wages, hours, the granting of fringe benefits, leave, mandatory or optional retirement age, and other terms and conditions of employment.

2. Medically verifiable disabilities caused or contributed to by pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, childbirth, and recovery therefrom are for all job related purposes, temporary disabilities and shall be treated as such under any health or temporary disability insurance policies or sick leave plans available in connection with employment.

3. Written and unwritten employment policies and practices involving matters such as the commencement and duration of leave, the availability of extensions, the accrual of seniority and other benefits and privileges, reinstatement, and payment under any health or temporary disability insurance policies or sick leave plans, formal or informal shall be applied to disability due to pregnancy or childbirth on the same terms and conditions as they are applied to other temporary disabilities.

B. Advertisements for employment in newspapers and other media must not express a sex preference. The placement of an advertisement in columns "Male" or "Female" will be considered to be discriminatory limitation.

C. Nothing in these procedures shall prohibit the hiring of employees of one sex, provided sex is an established bona fide occupational qualification. A bona fide occupational qualification will be interpreted narrowly; e.g., the assumption that women are not aggressive or that co- workers or customers prefer one sex or the other does not establish a bona fide occupational qualification.

NEW STORAGE BLDG & GREENHOUSE Section 00 73 36

Clare Gladwin RESD Division 00 22

1.5 RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION - The Michigan Department of Civil Rights has adopted the promulgated Guidelines on Religious Discrimination, requiring in part that employers make "reasonable" accommodations to the religious needs of employees and applicants for employment. These procedures shall not apply to a religious corporation, association, or society with respect to the employment of an individual of the same religion to perform work connected with carrying on its religious activities.

1.6 NATIONAL ORIGIN - The Michigan Department of Civil Rights has adopted and promulgated guidelines on National Origin Discrimination. In addition to the protection guaranteed to all minorities, requiring proficiency in the English language where it is not a requirement for satisfactory performance on the job is prohibited.

1.7 AGE - Any recipient/contractor shall not refuse to hire, or otherwise discriminate against, a person with respect to employment because an individual is between the ages of 18 and 60.
