Addenda may be issued to clarify, correct, or change the Bidding Documents as deemed advisable by Owner or Engineer.

Any addenda issued during the time of bidding or forming a part of the Contract Documents loaned to the Bidder for the preparation of his proposal, shall be covered in the Bid and shall be made a part of the Agreement. Receipt of each addendum shall be acknowledged in the Bid. Any Bid in which all issued addenda are not acknowledged will be considered incomplete and will not be read.

BID SECURITY

A Bid Bond will be required for this project. A Bid must be accompanied by Bid security made payable to Owner in an amount of [10] percent of Bidder’s maximum Bid price (determined by adding the base bid and all alternates) and in the form of a Bid bond issued by a surety meeting the requirements of Paragraph 6.01 of the General Conditions. Such Bid bond will be issued in the form included in the Bidding Documents.

The Bid security of the apparent Successful Bidder will be retained until Owner awards the contract to such Bidder, and such Bidder has executed the Contract, furnished the required Contract security, and met the other conditions of the Notice of Award, whereupon the Bid security will be released. If the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Contract and furnish the required Contract security within 15 days after the Notice of Award, Owner may consider Bidder to be in default, annul the Notice of Award, and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited, in whole in the case of a penal sum bid bond, and to the extent of Owner’s damages in the case of a damages-form bond. Such forfeiture will be Owner’s exclusive remedy if Bidder defaults.

The Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of receiving the award may be retained by Owner until the earlier of 7 days after the

00200 - 5 of 10

Effective Date of the Contract or 61 days after the Bid opening, whereupon Bid security furnished by such Bidders will be released.

Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes do not have a reasonable chance of receiving the award will be released within 7 days after the Bid opening.

CONTRACT TIMES

The number of days within which, or the dates by which, the Work is to be (a) Substantially Completed and (b) also completed and ready for final payment are set forth in the Agreement.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

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

SUBSTITUTE AND “OR-EQUAL” ITEMS

The procedure for submission of any such application by Contractor and consideration by Engineer is set forth in Paragraphs 7.04 and 7.05 of the General Conditions and may be supplemented in the General Requirements or Special Provisions.

SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS AND OTHERS

If the apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, the Owner may determine such Bidder to be non-responsive and reject the Bid. Declining to make requested substitution will not constitute grounds for forfeiture of the Bid Security of any Bidder. Any Subcontractor, Supplier, individual or entity so listed and against which Owner and Engineer make no written objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to Owner and Engineer subject to revocation of such acceptance after the Effective Date of the Agreement as provided in Paragraph

7.06 of the General Conditions.

Discrepancies between the multiplication of units of Work and unit price will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum. Discrepancies between words and figures will be resolved in favor of the words.

00200 - 7 of 10

SUBMITTAL OF BID

Each prospective Bidder is to execute one copy of the Bidding Documents Signature Pages and upload them to the QuestCDN website when they submit their bid. The Bid form is to be filled out online and submitted.

A Bid shall be submitted no later than the date and time prescribed and at the place indicated in the Invitation to Bid. Bids will only be accepted through the QuestCDN website (www.questcdn.com). No Bids will be accepted via mail.

ANY BID WILL BE REJECTED IF:

Alternative Bids will not be considered unless called for.

Bids by telephone, telegraph, fax or other telecommunication systems will not be considered.

MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

Requests for modification or withdrawal must be written and must be signed in the same manner and by the same person(s) who signed the Bid.

If, within twenty-four hours after Bids are opened any Bidder files a duly signed written notice with Owner and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of its Bid, that Bidder may withdraw its Bid. Thereafter, if the Work is rebid or negotiated, that Bidder will be disqualified from further bidding on the Work.

OPENING OF BIDS

Bids will be opened at the time set for opening in the Invitation to Bid and, unless obviously non-responsive. An abstract of the amounts of the base Bids and major alternates (if any) will be made available to Bidders after the opening of Bids.

BIDS TO REMAIN SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE

AWARD OF CONTRACT

Owner reserves the right to reject any and all Bids, including without limitation, nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids. Owner further reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation, to be non-responsible. Owner also reserves the right to waive all informalities not involving price, time, or changes in the Work and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder. Owner reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder if Owner believes it would not be in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder whether because Bid is not responsive, or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by Owner.

More than one Bid for the same Work from an individual or entity under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest in more than one Bid for the Work may be cause for

00200 - 8 of 10 disqualification of the Bidder and the rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest.

In evaluating Bids, Owner and Engineer will consider whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such alternates, unit prices and other data, as may be requested in the Bid Form or prior to the Notice of Award.

In evaluating Bidders, Owner will consider the qualifications of Bidders and may consider the qualifications and experience of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities proposed for those portions of the Work for which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities must be submitted.

Owner may conduct such investigations as Owner deems necessary to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or entities to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

If the Contract is to be awarded, Owner will award the Contract to the responsible bidder whose Bid, conforming with all material terms and conditions of the Bidding Documents, is lowest price, in the best interest of the Project, and other factors considered, The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject the Bids, or portions of Bids if denoted in the Bid as separate schedules, and to award more than one Bid or schedule for the same Bid if any of the aforementioned combination of Bids or schedules will be in the best interest of the Owner. The Owner reserves the right to cancel the award of any Agreement at any time before the complete execution of said Agreement by all parties without any liability against the Owner.
