10. Bid Proposal and Bid Schedule.

Each bidder must fully complete and submit the Bid Proposal form, and, if required by the City, the Bid Schedule form with unit prices.

11. Incorrect Totals.

11.1. Corrections. After the opening of Bids by the City, City shall review the bids. If a Bid contains mathematical errors, Unit Price omissions, Unit Total omissions or other similar mathematical omissions, the City may correct the mathematical errors or omissions as follows:

11.1.1. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price. If the Unit Price is blank but the Unit Total has a legible amount, then the Unit Price shall be corrected to the quotient of the Unit Total divided by the number of Units. If the Unit Price and Unit total are both blank or illegible, then the Unit Price and Unit Total shall be corrected to $0.00.

11.1.2. If the Unit Price has a legible amount, but the product of the number of Units and the Unit Price do not equal the Unit Total or the Unit Total is blank, the Unit Total shall be the corrected product of the number of the number of Units and Unit Price.

11.1.3. If the sum of corrected Unit Totals does not equal the Total Bid, then the corrected Unit Totals shall control and the total Bid shall be corrected.

11.1.4. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for any bid alternate, and the amount entered for the alternate on the

Livermore Contract Documents, page 9

Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized prices shown on the Bid Schedule for that alternate will be deemed the alternate price.

11.2. Non-Responsive Errors. If the cumulative amount of corrections changes the total amount of the base bid or bid alternate by more than five percent, City may consider the bid non-responsive.

11.3. Withdraw of Bids. Nothing in this Section regarding mistakes and errors is intended to prevent a bidder from requesting to withdraw its bid for material error under Public Contract Code, Section 5100, et. seq.

12. Estimated Quantities.

The quantities shown on the Bid Schedule are estimated and the actual quantities required to perform the Work may be greater or less than the estimated amount. The Contract Price will be adjusted (up or down) to reflect the quantities actually used, and determined to be necessary by the City, to complete the Work by applying the itemized or unit prices provided in the Bid Schedule, and Contract Unit Prices will not be adjusted.

13. Contractor Work Percentage

The Contractor must perform, with its own forces, at least 20 percent of the Work on the Project, calculated as a percentage of the Base Bid price excluding the amount for “specialty items” as designated by the letter S on the Bid Schedule form. The remaining Work may be performed by qualified Subcontractor(s).

14. Bid Security.

Each Bid Proposal must be accompanied by Bid Security of ten percent of the maximum bid amount, in the form of a cashier’s check, a certified check, or a bid bond, using the form included in the Contract Documents, executed by a surety licensed to do business in the State of California, made payable to the City of Livermore. (“Bid Security.”) The Bid Security must be enclosed in the same envelope as the Bid Proposal. The Bid Security must guarantee that within ten days after the City issues the ALB Notice to the apparent low bidder, that bidder will execute and submit the Contract on the form included in the Contract Documents, will submit payment and performance bonds for one hundred percent 100 percent of the Contract Price, a warranty bond for 15 percent of the Contract Price, the insurance certificates, and insurance endorsements as required by the Contract Documents. If the apparent low bidder does not meet these requirements by this deadline, it forfeits its Bid Security.

Livermore Contract Documents, page 11 bidder must execute and return to the City within ten days after issuance of the Apparent ALB Notice.

Failure or refusal to provide the fully executed contract documents within ten days after issuance of the Apparent ALB Notice shall be just cause for an annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Bid Security. If the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may award the Contract to the second lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

If the second lowest responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may award the Contract to the third lowest responsive, responsible bidder. On the failure or refusal of such second or third lowest Bidder to execute the Agreement, each such bidder’s Bid Securities shall be likewise forfeited to the City.

21. Bonds.

The successful bidder is required to submit payment, performance, and warranty bonds as specified in the Contract Documents using the bond forms included in the Contract Documents.
