Responsibility Criteria. During the bidding period, but not later than five (5) business days before the bid submittal deadline, a potential Contractor may request that the Owner modify the supplemental Contractor responsibility criteria. The Owner shall evaluate any such requests, and if a decision is made by the Owner in its sole discretion to modify the criteria, such modification shall be communicated to all Contractors and plan holders via the issuance of an addendum to the bidding documents. If the Owner determines not to modify the supplemental criteria, the Owner shall notify the requesting Contractor of its decision in writing.

17.5. Appeal of Determination that Contractor does not meet Responsibility Criteria: If the Owner determines that the low Bidder does not meet the Contractor responsibility criteria set forth in this section and is therefore not a responsible Bidder, the Owner shall notify the Contractor in writing with the reasons for its determination. If the Contractor disagrees with this determination, it may appeal the determination within 24 hours of receipt of the Owner’s determination by presenting additional information in writing to the Owner. The Owner will consider the additional information before issuing its final determination in writing. If the final determination affirms that the low Bidder is not responsible, the Owner will not execute a contract with any other Contractor until two (2) business days after the low Bidder determined to be not responsible has received written notice of the final determination. For the purposes of this subsection, the date of the Owner's transmission of the Owner's determination(s) by facsimile or electronic mail to the Contractor at the facsimile number or e-mail address provided by the Contractor in its bid shall constitute the date of receipt by the Contractor of the written notices provided for herein.

18. Construction Time. The agreement will include a stipulation that the work be completed in a period of 180 calendar days following receipt of Owner 's Notice to Proceed. Owner requires that the work of this contract be completed as quickly as possible. Consideration will be given to time of completion when reviewing the submitted Bids.

19. Guaranty. The Contractor shall and does hereby guarantee for a period of one (1) year from date of acceptance by the Owner all materials, workmanship and equipment installed under this contract to be as specified and of a good quality. Should any defect develop due to faulty material or workmanship within the guarantee period, the Contractor shall correct the defect and make good all damages that may have been caused by the defect. This work shall be done promptly and without cost to Owner and at the entire expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall provide to Owner all manufacturer warranties at the completion of the work.

Station 84 Tenant Improvement Project Instructions to Bidders-8

20. Bonds. Prior to signing the Contract, Owner will require the successful Bidder to secure and post a Payment and Performance Bond, each in the amount of 100% of the contract sum, and each in a form acceptable to Owner and substantially in the form included in the Contract Documents. Such bonds shall be issued by surety licensed to business in the State of Washington acceptable to Owner. Costs of such bonds shall be included in the Bid price.

21. Proof of Insurance and Bonds. At or prior to delivery of the signed contract, the Bidder to whom the contract is awarded shall deliver to Owner applicable Certificates of Insurance and such Labor and Materials Payment Bond and Performance Bond as are required by Owner.

22. Approval of Bonds and Insurance. Bonds and Certificates of Insurance shall be approved by Owner before the successful Bidder may proceed with the work. Failure or refusal to provide Bonds or Certificates of Insurance in a form satisfactory to Owner shall subject the successful Bidder to loss of time from the allowable construction period equal to the time delay in furnishing the required material.

23. Prevailing Wages. The Contractor shall pay prevailing wages as currently published by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and shall comply with chapters RCW 39.12 and RCW 49.28. A Notice of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages and prevailing wage rates for the Project must be posted for the benefit of workers. At the conclusion of the Contract, the Contractor and its subcontractors shall submit Affidavits of Wages Paid to the Department of Labor and Industries for certification by the director. Final payment on the Contract shall be withheld until certification by the director has been received by Owner that the prevailing wage requirements of the law have been satisfied. The Contractor hereby certifies that it has not been cited for two violations within the last five

(5) years, and is thus not prohibited from bidding on public works contracts. The Contractor further assures Owner that it will use no sub-contractor who is thus prohibited.

24. Use of Apprentices. If the Bid for the project is over $2,000,000, pursuant to RCW 39.04.320, the Contractor shall provide that 15% of all hours needed to complete the project are apprentice hours. The 15% of hours can be provided totally in one trade or can be distributed to all trades. Monthly reports will be filed with the Owner documenting how this requirement will be met. The $2,000,000 threshold shall be reduced to $1,500,000 on July 1, 2026 and to $1,000,000 on July 1, 2028

25. Retained Percentage. Owner shall withhold a sum not to exceed 5% of each payment of the contract price in accordance with chapter 60.28 RCW. Prior to any payment to the Contractor by Owner, the Contractor shall advise Owner of the manner in which the Contractor wishes such funds held in accordance with the Contract Documents. Such funds shall be retained, held and released in accordance with the statutory requirements.

26. Laws and Regulations. The Bidders attention is directed to the fact that all applicable State laws, municipal ordinances, and rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over construction of the project shall apply to the Contract throughout, and they shall be deemed to be included in the Contract the same as though written out in full therein. Bidders are advised that if successful, they will be required to meet all applicable

Station 84 Tenant Improvement Project Instructions to Bidders-9 federal, state, and local laws pertaining to permits, licenses, fees and taxes, as well as laws pertaining to employment and wages. Bidders are responsible for determining the extent and applicability of such laws.
