A. If confidential information becomes a part of the public domain through publication or otherwise but through no fault of the Owner;

B. Owner can demonstrate through suitable documentation that the confidential information was already in the Owner�s possession or otherwise publicly available prior to the date of disclosure hereunder;

C. The confidential information is subsequently disclosed to the Owner by a third party who has a lawful right to disclose such information; or

D. The Owner is required to disclose the confidential information by court order or by applicable law.

12.06 If the Owner is requested or becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand, public information requests, including requests under Chapter 552, or similar process) or is required by

Instructions to Offerors 00 21 13 - 5 a regulatory body to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this

The Bid Security will be returned if it is clearly demonstrated to the Owner that there was a material and substantial mistake in its Bid.

ARTICLE 15 � OPENING OF BIDS

15.01 Bids will be opened at the time and place indicated in Section 00 11 16 �Invitation to Bid.� The

Laws and Regulations.

Security prior to the end of this period.

Instructions to Offerors 00 21 13 - 6

17.02 Owner will consider earlier completion dates in selecting the Contractor for the Project. The value of this early completion will be determined by calculating the number of days between the

Offeror�s proposed completion dates and the Owner�s completion dates indicated in

Section 00 11 16 �Invitation to Bid.� This number of days will be multiplied by the Liquidated

Damages amounts indicated in the Agreement to determine the value of early completion.

The calculation is solely for the evaluation of Bids and does not alter the Contract Price from the amounts included in the Bid.

17.03 Owner may conduct such investigations as it deems necessary to establish the responsibility, qualifications, and financial ability of consultants, individuals, or entities proposed to furnish parts of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

17.04 Each Offeror agrees to waive any claim it has or may have against the members of the OPT and their respective employees, arising out of or in connection with the administration, evaluation, or recommendation of any Bid.

17.05 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents, it is stipulated and agreed that by accepting a Bid, the Owner has not and does not waive its sovereign immunity from suit and/or liability.

ARTICLE 18 � AWARD OF CONTRACT

18.01 Owner reserves the right to reject any and all Bids, including non-conforming, non-responsive, or conditional Bids.

The Owner reserves the right to waive all formalities.

18.02 More than one Bid for the same Work from an individual or entity under the same or different names will not be considered, except as additional Bids in accordance with Article 7. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Offeror has an interest in more than one Bid for the Work will be cause for disqualification of that Offeror and the rejection of all Bids in which that Offeror has an interest.

18.03 The Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible Offeror if a contract is to be awarded.

18.04 Owner may consider the following in evaluating the Bids and awarding the Contract:

Vendor Compliance with Reciprocity on Non-Resident Bidders (TWDB-0459) 00 45 01 - 1

00 45 01 VENDOR COMPLIANCE WITH RECIPROCITY ON NON-RESIDENT BIDDERS

(TWDB-0459)

Texas Government Code Section 2252.002 provides that in order for nonresident bidders to be awarded a governmental contract, the bidder must bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies, or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a

Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid the nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the nonresident bidder�s state. A nonresident bidder is a person, including a contractor, whose principal place of business or corporate office is outside of the state of Texas. This requirement does not apply to a contract involving Federal funds. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failure of a nonresident bidder to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the blank in Section B.

A. Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of business, are required to be percent lower than resident bidders by state law.

A copy of the statute is attached.

Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of business, are not required to underbid resident bidders.

B. Our principal place of business or corporate office is in the state of Texas: ☐
