12. Conditions of Work

B-9

13. Addenda and Interpretations

No interpretation of the meaning of specifications or other bid documents will be made to any bidder orally. All information given to bidders other than by means of plans, specifications, or addenda, as described below, is given informally and shall not be used as the basis of a claim against IELD.

Requests should be sent by email to: ckanouff@ipswichutilities.org.

In order to receive consideration, such request must be received at least five (5) business days prior to the deadline for opening of bids.

Failure of any bidder to receive any such addendum shall not relieve such bidder from any obligation under its bid as submitted. All addenda so issued shall become part of the Contract Documents. Post-bid clarifications are not permitted.

14. Payment Bond

In accordance with M.G.L. c. 30, § 39M and M.G.L. c. 149, § 29, the successful bidder shall furnish a payment bond in the amount of 50% of the total contract price (Section C - Bid Form, Paragraph II B), for payment by the contractor and subcontractors for labor performed or furnished and materials used or employed therein as specified in Section G (Payment Bond) and Section H (Terms and Conditions).

The successful bidder, upon its failure or refusal to execute and deliver the Agreement and the payment bond within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the acceptance of its bid, shall forfeit to IELD, as liquidated damages for such failure or refusal, the bid deposit furnished with its bid.

In case of death, disability, bona fide and obviously clerical or mechanical error of a substantial nature, or other similar unforeseen circumstances affecting the bidder, its bid deposit will be returned. Clerical errors shall not include errors in calculating applicable rates or the bidder’s expected profit.

18. Obligation of Bidder

At the time of the opening of bids, each bidder will be presumed to have read and to be thoroughly familiar with the Contract Documents, including all addenda. The failure or omission of any bidder to examine any form, instrument, or document shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect of its bid.

19. Right to Reject Bid

To the extent permitted by law, IELD reserves the right to reject any and all bids should IELD deem it to be in the public interest to do so.

IELD shall reject bids which in its sole judgment are either incomplete, conditional, obscure or not responsive or which contain exceptions, additions or clarifications not called for, erasures not properly initialed, alterations, or similar irregularities. Provided however, IELD, in its discretion, may waive non-statutory minor informalities to the extent permitted by law.

IELD also reserves the right to reject the bid of any bidder that IELD considers to be not responsive or otherwise unqualified based on the criteria set forth herein.

21. Award of Contract

c. 30, § 39M. Such a bidder shall possess the skill, ability and integrity necessary for the faithful performance of the work, shall be able to furnish labor that can work in harmony with all other elements of labor employed, or to be employed, in the work, and shall otherwise comply with all applicable provisions of law.

Bidders may be asked to validate qualifications to fulfill the bid requirements specified by submitting detailed evidence such as financial data, previous experience, present commitments and other such data as applicable.

Clarity and completeness of bid along with results of reference and credit checks will be taken into consideration in determination of responsible and eligible bidders.

The term “lowest responsible and eligible bidder” is defined under M.G.L. c. 30, § 39M as follows:

“The bidder:

(1) whose bid is the lowest of those bidders possessing the skill, ability and integrity necessary for the faithful performance of the work;

(2) who shall certify that he is able to furnish labor that can work in harmony with all other elements of labor employed or to be employed in the work;

(3) who shall certify that all employees to be employed at the worksite will have successfully completed a course in construction safety and health approved by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that is at least (ten) 10 hours in duration at the time the employee begins work and who shall furnish documentation of successful completion of said course with the first certified payroll report for each employee;

(4) who, where the provisions of section 8B of Chapter 29 apply, shall have been determined to be qualified thereunder; and

(5) who obtains within ten (10) days of the notification of contract award the security by bond required under section 29 of Chapter 149; provided that for the purposes of this section the term “security by bond” shall mean the bond of a surety company qualified to do business under the laws of the Commonwealth and satisfactory to the awarding authority; and provided further;

that if there is more than one surety company, the surety companies shall be jointly and severally liable. [M.G.L. c.30 § 39M(c)].”

Responses to, and results of reference checks or submitted information, and information obtained from other sources can be used to determine bidder responsibility and may be cause for rejection of any bid.

See paragraph 20 (Comparison of Bids) for a description of how the low bid will be determined.

If two or more responsible and eligible bidders have submitted the same bid price, there will be a ‘second heat’ of bidding between the tied bidders. The tied vendors will be contacted and

B-12 advised that their bid prices were tied and invited to submit a second sealed bid for the same contract by a specified date and time.

22. Grounds for Disqualification

The following, without limitation, are some of the causes that may be considered as sufficient for the disqualification of a bidder and the rejection of their bid:

a. More than one bid for the same work from an individual, firm, partnership or corporation;

b. Evidence of collusion among bidders;

c. Poor performance in the execution of work under a previous contract or contracts;

d. Failure to achieve reasonable progress on existing contract;

e. Default on previous contracts or failure to execute contract documents after award;

f. Failure to supply bid bond, certified check or cashier’s check as bid security;

g. Failure to fully complete Bid Form and submit required information and attachments; or

h. The Inclusion of conditions, clarifications or qualifiers regarding amounts, prices, terms, or specifications. Bids must be accepted based on the pricing, terms, and specifications in this IFB. Exceptions or deviations are not permitted. Changes to the scope of work or additional pricing only are permitted through the execution a change order as allowed by this IFB and applicable Laws.

23. Statutes Regulating Competitive Bidding

M.G.L. c. 30, § 39M governs this bid process. Bidders shall be responsible for familiarizing themselves with all statutory requirements and any rules and interpretations established by the courts and/or the Attorney General Office’s Bid Unit thereunder. Any bid which does not comply M.G.L. c. 30, § 39M shall be rejected. Pricing, terms and conditions, and other material aspects of the IFB are not negotiable or waivable or subject to discussion with individual bidders.

Exceptions may not be taken in the bid submission and only may be entertained through the request for clarification/modification process prior to the deadline. By law, IELD only has the authority to waive minor informalities in the submitted bids, which IELD may exercise in its discretion. M.G.L. c. 30, § 39M is a competitive bid process, not a proposal process.

Accordingly, bidders shall not furnish any information that has not been requested. The submission of extraneous information and materials may be grounds for rejection.

24. Contractor Records

The successful bidder shall comply with the provisions of M.G.L. c. 30, § 39R concerning contractor records.

Isaac M. DaRowe Rainwater Harvesting System Designer

PERMEABLE PAVER - CONSTRUCTION NOTES:

1. Installer shall create a construction sequence plan

2. A pre-construction meeting shall be required to discuss:

2.1. Construction sequencing

2.2. Erosion control adjacent to the permeable pavers

2.3. Prevention of stormwater run-on until the permeable pavers are installed

3. Excavate using the smallest equipment possible and work from the sides/perimeter of the facility to avoid over-compaction of the subbase

4. Excavate a level base or slope slightly away from a building/structure

5. The condition of the soil subgrade is unknown in the location of the permeable paver parking at this time. The installer shall provide the designer with a 72 hour notice prior to excavation of the parking area. After the excavation the designer shall determine the condition of the soil subgrade in the location of the proposed permeable pavers. If soil amendments are required due to compacted or impervious soil conditions, then a proposed method will be submitted with the amendment recommendations to the client for approval

6. Scarify native soils to 3 or 4 inch depth and install geotextile fabric as noted in the detail section

7. Install base layer in 6 inch lifts. Use a vibratory roller for compaction until there is no visible movement of the aggregate. Do not crush the aggregate

8. Install aggregate base:

8.1. Base layer - No. 2 stone

8.2. Intermediate layer - No. 57 stone

8.3. Bedding layer - No. 8 stone

9. Install the permeable pavers:

9.1. The pavers are installed by hand or by machine that places a whole pallet section of pavers at one time

9.2. The pavers are compacted and then No. 8 stone spread on the pavers and swept into the openings

9.3. The pavers are compacted again so that the No. 8 stone is just below the paver structure when complete

10. No excavation of native soils to occur during wet or saturated conditions

PERMEABLE PAVER - MAINTENANCE NOTES:

General maintenance:

1. Determine maintenance schedule (annual is likely) based on final permeable paver product installed.

Refer to manufacturer's recommendations

2. Inform contractors working on the property of the locations of permeable paver area(s). A sign is recommended that identifies the surface as permeable

3. Inspect the permeable paver area after storms to ensure rainwater properly drains through the material

Typical annual maintenance:

4. Inspect the permeable paver installation after the initial storm event and seasonally to ensure there is no ponding water

5. Perform (1) surface infiltration test in accordance with ASTM 1701 Standard for every 500 S.F. of permeable paver surface

6. Clean permeable paver with high efficiency vacuum, sweeper-vacuum or walk behind vacuum to remove surface debris

7. Identify and stabilize any sediment sources adjacent to permeable paver area

8. Maintain adjacent landscaping to prevent excessive growth and debris onto permeable paver area

9. Remove excessive moss or other plant growth from permeable paver area using pressure washer, weed burner or an equivalent method. Remove any washed out sediment/debris

10. Replace/replenish the top layer of No. 8 stone between the joints with new clean No. 8 stone after sweeping, vacuuming, pressure washing or when stone is below specified height

11. Remove leaves from the permeable paver surface as needed

12. Snow removal:

12.1. Remove snow with a rubber tipped shovel/plow or keep the plow tip 1 inch above the surface by means of a skid or roller to avoid damage to permeable paver surface

12.2. Salt applications can often be reduced significantly since water drains and black ice does not form easily

12.3. Salt applications do stay on the permeable paver surface longer since it does not wash off compared to regular impervious surfaces that shed water

12.4. Do not apply sand on the permeable paver surface

Non-Routine maintenance:

13. Do not stockpile mulch, sand, soil, yard waste, snow containing sand or salt or any other material on the permeable paver area that could potentially clog the pore space between the joints

14. Protect permeable paver surface from sediment during installation of adjacent planting areas or infrastructure

15. Replace broken permeable paver as needed following manufacturers guidelines

16. Remove and replace permeable paver for utility repairs

17. Clean (rehab) clogged permeable paver using high pressure wash and vacuum to remove desired depth of aggregate. Replace aggregate to specified height

18. Do not replace vehicle fluids or wash a car/equipment over the permeable paver surface

19. Do not apply sealants or any other materials that prevent water to pass through the permeable paver surface
