INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS - 1

1.1 BIDDER DEFINED

A. A "Bidder" is an entity or person who submits a bid proposal for the work described in the contract documents.

B. The Bidder must be registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries in accordance with RCW 18.27.020. The contractor registration number, expiration date, Uniform Business Identifier (UBI) number, and federal tax identification number must be entered in the applicable spaces on the Bidder Compliance Form within the Bid Proposal Form.

2.1 EXAMINATION OF THE WORK SITE AND BIDDING DOCUMENTS

A. Bidder acknowledges that it has taken steps necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and that it has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the work or its cost, including but not limited to (1) conditions bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling, and storage of materials; (2) the availability of labor, water, electric power, and road; (3) uncertainties of weather, river stages, tides, or similar physical conditions at the site; (4) the conformation and conditions of the ground; and (5) the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during the work.

The bidder also acknowledges that it has satisfied itself as to character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the site, including exploratory work done by the Owner, as well as from the drawings and specifications made a part of this contract. Any failure of the Bidder to take the actions described and acknowledged in this paragraph will not relieve the Bidder from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the work.

B. No statement by any officer, agent, or employee of the Owner pertaining to the physical conditions of the site of the work will be binding on the Owner other than those statements issued in the contract documents.

C. Bidders shall promptly notify the Owner of ambiguities, inconsistencies, or errors, if any, which they may discover upon examination of the Bidding Documents or of the site and local conditions.

D. Interpretations and Clarifications

1) Prospective Bidders seeking clarification or interpretation of the solicitation, drawings, or specifications must submit a written request to the Project Representative listed in the Invitation to Bid or through the State Parks Public Opportunities-MRSC Rosters Bonfire Procurement Portal https://mrscrosters.bonfirehub.com/portal by submitting a vendor discussion. Requests must be received at least eight (8) business days prior to the bid deadline to be considered.

2) Any Owner responses that do not modify the Scope of Work outlined in the contract documents may be posted on the State Parks Public Opportunities-MRSC Rosters Bonfire Procurement Portal prior to the bid submission deadline. Such clarifications will not be considered part of the contract documents and do not need to be acknowledged by Bidders in their Bid Proposal Form. The Owner retains sole discretion to determine whether a clarification or interpretation affects the Scope of Work and requires inclusion in the Contract Documents.

https://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=18.27.020

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS - 2

3) Changes to the Scope of Work or schedule described in the contract documents will only be issued as written ADDENDA.

4) Oral interpretations or clarifications are not legally binding.

E. Substitutions

1) The product, equipment, materials, or methods described or noted within the Bidding Documents, whether currently available or not, are to establish a standard of quality, function, appearance and dimension. A proposed substitution shall have equal attributes in all respects.

2) No substitution will be considered unless a written request for approval is submitted by the Contractor, after Award, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 012500 of the specifications. If no Section 012500 is available, then see section 016000 Product Requirements, sub-section 1.5. Each such request shall describe the proposed substitution in its entirety including name of the material or equipment, drawings, catalog cuts, performance or test data and all other information required for an evaluation. The submittal shall also include a statement noting all changes required in adjoining, dependent or other interrelated work necessitated by the incorporation of the proposed substitute. The Bidder shall bear the burden of proof of merit of the proposed substitution.

The Project Representative’s decision of approval or disapproval of a proposed substitution shall be final.

3.1 BID PROPOSAL

A. Bidders must be registered as vendors through the MRSC Rosters Bonfire Procurement Portal https://mrscrosters.bonfirehub.com/portal. All bid submissions must be made through the State Parks Public Opportunities section on the same portal. The individual who signs and submits the bid through the Bonfire Portal must be an authorized designee responsible for the bid submission.

B. All bidders for Small Works Projects must be currently registered on the MRSC Small Works Roster (vendor list) found http://mrscrosters.org/.

C. Bidders are required to submit bid prices electronically through the State Parks Public Opportunities-MRSC Rosters Bonfire Procurement Portal. Submissions must be completed using the Bid Proposal Form, provided as part of the electronic bid proposal documents. The Bid Proposal Form is a spreadsheet consisting of four tabs:

1. Bidder Compliance Form

2. Bid Form

3. MWBE

4. Subcontractor Utilization (if applicable)

All fields in the Bid Proposal Form tabs must be properly and completely filled out to ensure compliance. Failure to fill in all required fields may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

http://mrscrosters.org/

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS - 3

The Bidder Compliance Form must include the Bidder's full and complete address and information, typed in the spaces provided. The Bid Form must be electronically signed in the firm’s name, and a typewritten name is acceptable as an electronic signature, provided it complies with electronic submission requirements.

Once the Bid Proposal Form is completed, it must be uploaded in its original form to the appropriate section of the State Parks Public Opportunities-MRSC Rosters Bonfire Procurement Portal https://mrscrosters.bonfirehub.com/portal. Bidders are reminded to thoroughly review their submission before uploading to ensure compliance with all instructions and requirements. Incomplete submissions will be deemed non-responsive.

D. Except as otherwise provided in these instructions, bid proposals that are incomplete, or that are conditioned in any way, or that contain alterations, or items not called for in the contract documents, or that do not conform to the call for bids, may be rejected as non-responsive at the discretion of the Owner unless the law requires that the omission be deemed non-responsive, in which case the bid will be rejected as non-responsive. Only the amounts and information asked for on the Bid Proposal Form and the plans and specifications furnished will be considered as the bid. Bid amounts include all taxes imposed by law, except for Washington Sales Tax unless noted otherwise.

E. If the solicitation includes alternate bid items, failure to bid on the alternates may disqualify the bid. Each Bidder must submit their bid exactly as specified and as provided in the Bid Proposal Form. Bidders are required to include bids for all alternates if alternates are indicated on the Bid Form. For alternates that have no charge, the Bidder must type “$0.00” in the column for the unit price on the Bid Form.

F. Bidders shall acknowledge receipt of any ADDENDA to the solicitation for bids on the Bid form.

Failure to do so may result in the bid being declared non-responsive.

G. Substitute bid forms will not be considered unless this solicitation authorizes their submission.

H. The bid prices listed in the Bid Form must include all labor, materials, equipment, overhead, and compensation necessary to complete the work for each item, while the costs for the building permit and public utility hookup fees will either be reimbursed directly to the Contractor or paid by the Owner to the permitting agency and therefore should not be included in the bid amount.

I. The low Bidder, for purposes of award, shall be the responsive and responsible Bidder offering the low aggregate amount for the base bid item, plus additive or deductive bid alternates selected by the Owner, and within funds available for the project. The Bidder agrees to hold all bid alternate prices for sixty (60) days from date of bid deadline.

4.1 BID GUARANTEE: BID BOND

A. A bid bond is not required when the total bid amount, including the base bid and all additive alternates, is $35,000 or less. In such cases, instead of providing a bid bond, Bidders must complete and upload the Bid Bond Requirement Statement as part of their bid submission.

This ensures compliance with the bidding requirements for projects below the $35,000 threshold.

B. When the sum of the base bid plus all additive alternates is greater than $35,000.00, a bid guarantee in the amount of 5% of the base bid amount is required. Failure of the Bidder to provide bid guarantee when required shall render the bid non-responsive.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS - 4

C. Acceptable forms of bid guarantee are: A bid bond. A scanned copy (e.g., PDF) of the bid bond must be uploaded to the State Parks Public Opportunities-MRSC Rosters Bonfire Procurement Portal (https://mrscrosters.bonfirehub.com/portal) along with your bid response to the Owner.

See also, Section 6.1 SUBMISSION OF BID.

D. The Bidder will allow 60 days from bid deadline for acceptance of its bid by the Owner.

E. Should the successful Bidder fail to enter into a contract and furnish a satisfactory performance bond within 15 days after receiving properly prepared contract forms from the Owner, the bid bond may be forfeited as liquidated damages for advertisements and administration of bid procedures. Additionally, the Owner reserves the right to terminate the contract award.

F. Bid bonds must be held for the three low bids for 30 days or until a contract is executed with the successful Bidder. All other bid bonds will be released or returned to the Bidders within 15 days of the bid deadline.

A. SUBCONTRACTOR LISTING

Pursuant to RCW 39.30.060, if the base bid combined with the sum of the alternates is one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or more for the construction, alteration, or repair of any public building or public work of the state, the Bidder shall submit the names of subcontractors with whom the Bidder, if awarded the contract, will subcontract for performance of the work of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, electrical, structural steel installation, and rebar installation, or to name itself for the work.

Apprenticeship requirements do not apply to Small Works Projects estimated below $350,000.

In accordance with RCW 39.04.320 (Apprenticeship Training Programs), for all public works estimated by the Owner Project Engineer to cost one million dollars or more, the state of Washington requires no less than 15% of the labor hours be performed by apprentices. A contractor or subcontractor may not be required to exceed the 15% requirement. The bid advertisement and Bid Proposal Form shall establish a minimum required percentage of apprentice labor hours compared to the total labor hours. The project’s apprenticeship utilization rate is calculated using the approved affidavits from the L&I portal.

1. Incentives - The Contractor who meets or exceeds this utilization requirement on eligible contracts, will be awarded a monetary incentive described in the Apprentice Utilization Requirements section of the Bid Proposal Form.

2. Penalties - The Contractor who fails to meet the utilization requirement and fails to demonstrate a Good Faith Effort, as outlined below, is subject to penalties described in the Apprentice Utilization Requirements section of the contract Bid Proposal Form.

Contractor will receive an invoice payable to the Owner within 30 days. The contractor will have 30 days to pay the penalty invoice at the time of receipt before the penalty is considered outstanding. Contractors with outstanding apprenticeship penalties may be considered non-responsive.

The Plan shall have enough information to track the Contractor’s progress in meeting the utilization requirement. The Contractor shall submit the Plan on the Apprentice Utilization Plan template.

a) The Plan shall be submitted to the Project Representative when requested for the Supplemental Bidder Responsibility Criteria. A Plan that fails to meet the minimum requirements in RCW 39.04.350 may result in the contractor being determined as not responsible.

b) The Plan shall be uploaded to the Department of Labor & Industries’ (L&I) Prevailing Wage Intents and Affidavit (PWIA) system on L&I’s website within 10 business days of Notice to Proceed of the contract and prior to submitting the first invoice.

c) It is expected that the Contractor will actively seek out opportunities to meet the AUR during construction even if the Plan indicates a shortfall in meeting the requirement.

d) The Contractor shall provide an updated Plan during the course of construction when there are significant changes to the Plan which may affect their ability to meet the requirement.

e) If the Plan indicates that the Contractor will not attain the AUR, then Contractor must submit “Good Faith Effort” (GFE) documentation with their Plan to L&I’s PWIA system.

C. APPRENTICESHIP - GOOD FAITH EFFORT (GFE)

1. Good Faith Effort (GFE) documentation shall describe in detail why the Contractor is not or was not able to attain the AUR. It must detail the reason(s) the project did not reach the 15% utilization requirement and provide documentation to verify the claims.

2. The amount of apprentice labor hours the contract can or did attain along with the percentage of labor hours,

3. Contractors may receive a GFE credit for graduated Apprentice hours through the end of the calendar year for all projects worked on as long as the Apprentice remains continuously employed with the same Contractor they were working for when they graduated. If an Apprentice graduates during employment on a project of significant duration, they may be counted towards a GFE credit for up to one year after their graduation or until the end of the project (whichever comes first). Determination of whether or not Contract requirements were met in good faith will be made by subtracting the hours from the journeyman total reported hours for the project and adding them to the apprentice hour total. If the new utilization percentage meets the Contract requirement, the Contractor will be reported as meeting the requirement in good faith,

4. Anticipated or actual shortfall (in apprentice labor hours and percentage) and the reason(s) for not attaining the required apprentice labor hours,

5. Information from one or more of the following areas:
