If a bidder’s bond is submitted with the proposal, the bidder shall also be required to submit the following documentation from the surety insurer:

a) The original, or a certified copy, of the unrevoked appointment, power of attorney, bylaws, or other instrument entitling or authorizing the person who executed the bond to do so.

Withdrawal of Proposals. Any proposal may be withdrawn prior to the hour and date set forth in the Notice Inviting Bids, via PlanetBids. The withdrawal of a proposal shall not prejudice the right of a Bidder to file a new proposal.

8. Disqualification of Bidder.

a) More than one proposal from an individual, a firm or partnership, a corporation or an association under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable ground for believing that any bidder is interested in more than one proposal for the work contemplated will cause the rejection of all proposals in which such bidder is interested.

b) If there is a reason for believing that collusion exists among the Bidders, none of the participants in such collusion will be considered in awarding of the contract.

c) Proposals in which the prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected.

9. Return of Proposal Guarantees. Within 10 days after the award of the Contract, the City Clerk will return all the proposal guarantees accompanying the proposals, which are not to be further considered in making the award. All other proposal guarantees will be held until the contract has been finally executed, after which all proposal guarantees, except those forfeited, will be returned to the respective Bidders.

10. Acceptance or Rejection of Proposals. The Coronado City Council reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, or to waive any irregularities or informalities in the proposals or in the proposal process; and to make an award on the base proposal or on the basis of any combination of proposal schedules to alternates listed in the proposal which, in its opinion, serves the best interest of the City of Coronado.

11. Bid Protest. Any bid protest must be in writing and received electronically by City Clerk at cityclerk@coronado.ca.us before 5:00 p.m. no later than two (2) working days following bid opening (the “Bid Protest Deadline”) and must comply with the following requirements:

The protest must include the name, address, email address, and telephone number of the person representing the protesting bidder if different from the protesting bidder.

SD #4821-4737-7394 v1r 5

c. Copy to Protested Bidder. A copy of the protest and all supporting documents must be concurrently transmitted by fax or by email, by or before the Bid Protest Deadline, to the protested bidder and any other bidder who has a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest.

d. Response to Protest. The protested bidder may submit a written response to the protest, provided the response is received by City Clerk electronically via email at cityclerk@coronado.ca.us before 5:00 p.m., within two working days after the Bid Protest Deadline or after actual receipt of the bid protest, whichever is sooner (the “Response Deadline”). The response must include all supporting documentation.

Section 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2 [commencing with Section 16700] of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract.
