To discourage “bid shopping” on construction projects, the apparent low bidder must submit, by 4:00 P.M. local time on the first full business day following bid opening, a list of all first-tier subcontractors with whom the bidder intends to subcontract for more than 1% of their total bid amount or $10,000.00 whichever is greater.

In the event the Joint Venture is the lowest bidder and is awarded the project, but the Joint Venture has failed to validly form a Joint Venture Entity with the Joint Venture Entity registered as a Vendor with Pima County at the time of bid, the Joint Venture participants will execute a single Contract with Pima County with each Joint Venture participant as a separate Contractor under the Contract. Each such Contractor will be jointly and severally liable for performance under the contract, and the required Payment and Performance Bonds will identify the individual Contractors (see Construction Services Contract).
