Violations will be reviewed by the Purchasing Manager. If determined that such communication has compromised the competitive process, the offer submitted by the individual, firm or business may be disqualified from consideration for award.

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

3. EXPLANATION TO BIDDERS:

Any explanation desired by a bidder regarding the meaning or interpretation of the invitation for bids, drawings, specifications, etc. must be requested by the question cutoff deadline stated in the solicitation in order for a reply to reach all bidders before the close of bid. Any information given to a prospective bidder concerning an invitation for bid will be furnished to all prospective bidders as an addendum to the invitation if such information is necessary or if the lack of such information would be prejudicial to uninformed bidders. The written bid documents supersede any verbal or written communications between Parties. Receipt of addendum should be acknowledged in the bid. Although Purchasing will make every effort to send any addendum to known bidders, it is the bidder’s ultimate responsibility to ensure that they have all applicable addenda prior to bid submittal. This may be accomplished via contact with Purchasing prior to bid submittal.

4. SUBMISSION OF BIDS:

A. Bids shall be enclosed in sealed envelopes, addressed to the City of Dunwoody Purchasing Office with the name of the bidder, the date and hour of opening and the invitation to bid number on the face of the envelope. Telegraphic/faxed bids will not be considered. Any addenda should be enclosed in the sealed envelopes as well.

B. ADD/DEDUCT: Add or deduct amounts indicated on the outside of the envelope are allowed and will be applied to the lump sum amount. Amount shall be clearly stated and should be initialed by an authorized company representative.

SECTION 0100

C. Samples of items, when required, must be submitted within the time specified and, unless otherwise specified by the City, at no expense to the City. Unless otherwise specified, samples will be returned at the bidder’s request and expense if items are not destroyed by testing.

D. Items offered must meet required specifications and must be of a quality, which will adequately serve the use and purpose for which intended.

E. Full identification of each item bid upon, including brand name, model, catalog number, etc. must be furnished to identify exactly what the bidder is offering. Manufacturer’s literature may be furnished.

F. The bidder must certify that items to be furnished are new and that the quality has not deteriorated so as to impair its usefulness.

G. Unsigned bids will not be considered except in cases where bid is enclosed with other documents, which have been signed. The City will determine this.

H. The City of Dunwoody is exempt from federal excise tax and Georgia sales tax with regard to goods and services purchased directly by the City.

Suppliers and contractors should contact the State of Georgia Sales Tax Division for additional information.

I. Information submitted by a bidder in the bidding process shall be subject to disclosure after the public opening in accordance with the Georgia Open Records Act. Each page of proprietary information must be identified. Entire bid may not be deemed proprietary.

5. WITHDRAWAL OF BID DUE TO ERRORS:

A. The Bidder shall give notice in writing of his claim of right to withdraw his bid without penalty due to an error within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the bid opening procedure. Bids may be withdrawn from consideration if the price was substantially lower than the other bids due solely to a mistake therein, provided the bid was submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of the bid, which unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission can be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of original work papers, documents and material used in the preparation of the bid sought to be withdrawn. The bidder’s original work papers shall be the sole acceptable evidence of error and mistake if he elects to withdraw his bid. If a bid is withdrawn under the authority of this provision, the lowest remaining responsive bid shall be deemed to be low bid.

B. No bidder who is permitted to withdraw a bid shall, for compensation, supply any material or labor or perform any subcontract or other work agreement for the person or firm to whom the contract is awarded or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, from the performance of the project for which the withdrawn bid was submitted.

C. The Bidder has up to forty-eight (48) hours to notify Purchasing of an obvious clerical error made in calculation of bid in order to withdraw a bid after bid opening. Withdrawal of bid for this reason must be done in writing within the forty-eight (48) hour period. Bidders who fail to request withdrawal of bid by the required forty-eight (48) hours shall automatically forfeit bid bond. Bid may not be withdrawn otherwise.

D. Bid withdrawal is not automatically granted and will be allowed solely at the City of Dunwoody’s discretion.

SECTION 0100

6. TESTING AND INSPECTION:

Since tests may require several days for completion, the City reserves the right to use a portion of any supplies before the results of the tests are determined. Cost of inspections and tests of any item, which fails to meet the specifications, shall be borne by the bidder.

7. F.O.B. POINT:

Unless otherwise stated in the invitation to bid and any resulting contract, or unless qualified by the bidder, items shall be shipped F.O.B. Destination. The seller shall retain title for the risk of transportation, including the filing for loss or damages. The invoice covering the items is not payable until items are delivered and the contract of carriage has been completed. Unless the F.O.B. clause states otherwise, the seller assumes transportation and related charges either by payment or allowance.

8. PATENT INDEMNITY:

The contractor guarantees to hold the City, its agents, officers or employees harmless from liability of any nature or kind for use of any copyrighted or uncopyrighted composition, secret process, patented or unpatented invention, articles or appliances furnished or used in the performance of the contract, for which the contractor is not the patentee, assignee or licensee.

9. BID BONDS AND PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE BONDS (IF REQUIRED):

A five percent (5%) bid bond is required for this Bid. The bidder will be required to provide a one hundred percent (100%) performance bond, and a one hundred percent (100%) payment bond, to be furnished to the City of Dunwoody for any awarded bid as required in bid package or document.

Best rating as stated in the insurance requirement of the solicitation.

10. AWARD:

A. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The quality of the articles to be supplied, their conformity with the specifications, their suitability to the requirements of the City, and the delivery terms will be taken into consideration in making the award. The City may make such investigations as it deems necessary to determine the ability of the bidder to perform, and the bidder shall furnish to the City all such information and data for this purpose as the City may request. The City reserves the right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of such bidder fails to satisfy the City that such bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract.

B. The City reserves the right to reject or accept any or all bids and to waive technicalities, informalities and minor irregularities in bids received.

C. The City reserves the right to make an award as deemed in its best interest, which may include awarding a bid to a single bidder or multiple bidders; or to award the whole bid, only part of the bid, or none of the bid to single or multiple bidders, based on its sole discretion of its best interest.

11. DELIVERY FAILURES:

Failure of a contractor to deliver within the time specified or within reasonable time as interpreted by the Purchasing Manager, or failure to make replacement of rejected articles/services when so requested, immediately or as directed by the Purchasing Manager, shall constitute authority for the Purchasing Manager to purchase in the open market articles/services of comparable grade to replace the articles/services rejected or not delivered. On all such purchases, the contractor shall reimburse the City within a reasonable time specified by the Purchasing Manager for any expense incurred in excess of contract prices, or the City shall have the right to deduct such amount from monies owed the

SECTION 0100

defaulting contractor. Alternatively, the City may penalize the contractor one percent (1%) per day for a period of up to ten (10) days for each day that delivery or replacement is late. Should public necessity demand it, the City reserves the right to use or consume articles delivered which are substandard in quality, subject to an adjustment in price to be determined by the Purchasing Manager.

12. CITY FURNISHED PROPERTY:

No material, labor or facilities will be furnished by the City unless so provided in the invitation to bid.

13. REJECTION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS:

Failure to observe any of the instructions or conditions in this invitation to bid may constitute grounds for rejection of bid.

14. CONTRACT:

A. Each bid is received with the understanding that the acceptance in writing by the City of the offer to furnish any or all of the commodities or services described therein shall constitute a contract between the bidder and the City which shall bind the bidder on his part to furnish and deliver the articles quoted at the prices stated in accordance with the conditions of said accepted bid. The City, on its part, may order from such contractor, except for cause beyond reasonable control, and to pay for, at the agreed prices, all articles specified and delivered.

B. It is understood that the bidder has reviewed the contract documents with the understanding that the City of Dunwoody requires that all agreements between the parties must be entered into via this document. If any exceptions are taken to any part, each must be stated in detail and submitted as part of the bid. If no exceptions are stated, it is assumed that the bidder fully agrees to the provisions contained in the “Sample Contract” in its entirety.

C. When the contractor has performed in accordance with the provisions of this agreement, the City of Dunwoody shall pay to the contractor, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any department approved payment request and based upon work completed or service provided pursuant to the contract, the sum so requested, less the retainage stated in this agreement, if any.

15. NON-COLLUSION:

Bidder declares that the bid is not made in connection with any other bidder submitting a bid for the same commodity or commodities, and that the bid is bona fide and is in all respects fair and without collusion or fraud. An affidavit of non-collusion shall be executed by each bidder. Collusion and fraud in bid preparation shall be reported to the State of Georgia Attorney General and the United States Justice Department.

16. DEFAULT:

The contract may be canceled or annulled by the Purchasing Manager in whole or in part by written notice of default to the contractor upon non-performance or violation of contract terms. An award may be made to the next low responsive and responsible bidder, or articles specified may be purchased on the open market similar to those so terminated. In either event, the defaulting contractor (or his surety) shall be liable to the City for costs to the City in excess of the defaulted contract prices; provided, however, that the contractor shall continue the performance of this contract to the extent not terminated under the provisions of this clause. Failure of the contractor to deliver materials or services within the time stipulated on his bid, unless extended in writing by the Purchasing Manager, shall constitute contract default.

17. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE:

The City may terminate this agreement for cause upon ten days prior written notice to the contractor of the contractor’s default in the performance of any term of this agreement. Such termination shall be without prejudice to any of the City’s rights or remedies by law.

SECTION 0100

18. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE:

The City may terminate this agreement for its convenience at any time upon 30 days written notice to the contractor. In the event of the City’s termination of this agreement for convenience, the contractor will be paid for those services actually performed. Partially completed performance of the agreement will be compensated based upon a signed statement of completion to be submitted by the contractor, which shall itemize each element of performance.

19. DISPUTES:

Except as otherwise provided in the contract documents, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under the contract which is not disposed of shall be decided after a hearing by the Purchasing Manager, who shall reduce his/her decision to writing and mail or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to the contractor. The decision of the Purchasing Manager shall be final and binding; however, the contractor shall have the right to appeal said decision to a court of competent jurisdiction.

20. SUBSTITUTIONS:

Bidders offering and quoting on substitutions or who are deviating from the attached specifications shall list such deviations on a separate sheet to be submitted with their bid. The absence of such a substitution list shall indicate that the bidder has taken no exception to the specifications contained herein.

21. INELIGIBLE BIDDERS:

The City may choose not to accept the bid of a bidder who is in default on the payment of taxes, licenses or other monies due to the City. Failure to respond to three (3) consecutive times for any given commodity/service may result in removal from the supplier list under that commodity/service.

22. BUSINESS LICENSE:

Each successful bidder shall provide evidence of a valid City of Dunwoody business license if the bidder maintains an office within the City of Dunwoody. Unincorporated, out of City, and out of State bidders are required to provide evidence of a certificate to do business in any town, County or municipality in the State of Georgia, or as otherwise required by City ordinance or resolution.

23. ALTERATIONS OF SOLICITATION AND ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS:

Alterations of City documents are strictly prohibited and will result in automatic disqualification of the firm’s solicitation response. If there are “exceptions” or comments to any of the solicitation requirements or other language, then the firm may make notes to those areas, but may not materially alter any document language.

24. TAX LIABILITY:

Local and state governmental entities must notify contractors of their use tax liability on public works projects. Under Georgia law, private contractors are responsible for paying a use tax equal to the sales tax rate on material and equipment purchased under a governmental exemption that is incorporated into a government construction project: excluding material and equipment provided for the installation, repair, or expansion of a public water, gas or sewer system when the property is installed for general distribution purposes. To the extent the tangible personal property maintains its character (for example the installation of a kitchen stove), it remains tax-exempt. However, if the installation incorporates the tangible personal property into realty, e.g., the installation of sheetrock, it becomes taxable to the private contractor.

See O.C.G.A. 48-8-3(2) and O.C.G.A. 48-8-63

SECTION 0100

25. GENERAL CONTRACTORS LICENSE:

All General Contractors must have a current valid license from the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors, unless specifically exempted from holding such license pursuant to Georgia law (O.C.G.A. Section 43-41-17).

26. INDEMNIFICATION:

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall, at his sole cost and expense, indemnify, defend, satisfy all judgments, and hold harmless the City, the engineer, and their agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, actions, judgments, costs, penalties, liabilities, losses and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees arising out of or resulting from the performance of the work, provided that any such claim, damage, action, judgment, cost, penalty, liability, loss or expense (1) is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the work itself) including the loss of use resulting therefrom, and (2) is caused in whole or in part by any act or omission of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, regardless whether such claim is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge or otherwise reduce any of the rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in this agreement. In any and all claims against the City, the engineer, or any of their agents or employees by any employee of the Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation contained herein shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any subcontractor under Worker's Compensation Acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts.

27. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

The City of Dunwoody is committed to environmental sustainability. The City believes we have a unique opportunity to further expand our leadership in the area of environmentally preferable purchasing, and through our actions, elicit changes in the marketplace. By further incorporating environmental considerations into public purchasing, the City of Dunwoody will positively impact human health and the environment, remove unnecessary hazards from its operations, reduce costs and liabilities, and improve the environmental quality of the region. As such the City encourages the incorporation of environmental sustainability into proposals.

Construction plans can be accessed and downloaded at the following link:

Old Spring House Lane_Final Plans_5-16-25.pdf

Unless otherwise specified, the project shall be completed in compliance with the Construction Documents prepared by Practical Design Partners (PDP) dated and stamped 5-16-2025, Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and Supplemental Specifications, Current Edition and the bid documents including all appendices and addenda. It is the intent of this contract for each unit price bid to include all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies as required to complete the work in accordance with the plans, specifications as directed, and the terms of this contract. The contractor is responsible for inspecting the site and for being thoroughly familiar with all bid and contract documents.

Any item which must be removed during the construction work and which is not specifically called for shall be removed by the contractor. The cost shall be included in other unit price bid items. No claims will be considered for extra compensation.

Minimum Contractor Qualifications

The contractor must meet Georgia licensing requirements and be a Georgia Department of Transportation prequalified qualified contractor. The contractor shall have been a licensed general or utility contractor engaged in construction and successful completion of work of similar character and magnitude for at least five years and shall demonstrate the financial ability to perform the work. The current Certificate of Qualification letter must be submitted at time of bid.

Traffic Control

All traffic control shall be provided by the contractor in accordance with GDOT’s “shelf” Special Provision 150. Assistance from police officers will not be provided by the City. Two-way traffic https://dunwoodygagov.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/CitizenUploadSite/EQoic_18ZWRJqvXHgqExXBoBDQ6VpY2oStgVcla5bM274A?e=6m1OzZ and driveway access must be maintained throughout the construction of this project. Work times and lane closure or restriction times are detailed in Special Conditions Article 2.5

The contractor shall add, replace, remove, and/or reset existing roadway signs, as necessary, throughout the construction to comply with the MUTCD.

Schedule

If a Construction Contract is approved by the City, a Notice of Award is expected to be given by August 1, 2025. The Notice to Proceed is anticipated to be provided to the Contractor by August 20, 2025.

The contractor shall mobilize within 10 days of receiving notice to proceed. Work shall be completed by June 12, 2026. Once construction begins in an area, the contractor shall work diligently and without delay to complete the work to minimize disruption to the property owners.

Delay in completion of the project results in additional management and testing costs to the City and erosion of public confidence and goodwill. The failure or delay in completing work on time will result in daily deductions (liquidated damages) as outlined in Special Conditions, Section 850, Article 2.3. For each day or Available Day, as specified, that any work shall remain uncompleted after the contract time specified for the completion of the Work required by the Contract, the sum specified in the Contract will be deducted from any money due the Contractor, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages; provided however, that due account shall be taken of any adjustment of the contract time for completion of the work previously agreed to by both parties, as may be required from time to time. The amount of such charges is hereby agreed upon as fixed liquidated damages due the City of Dunwoody after the expiration of the time for completion specified in the contract. The Contractor shall be liable for liquidated damages in excess of the amount due the Contractor on the final payment. These fixed liquidated damages are not established as a penalty but are calculated and agreed upon in advance by the City of Dunwoody and the Contractor due to the uncertainty and impossibility of making a determination as to the actual and consequential damages which are incurred by the City and the general public as a result of the failure on the part of the Contractor to complete The Work on time.

Sidewalk Construction

1. Maximum sidewalk cross slope including driveway crossings shall be 2% unless otherwise indicated on the plans.

Any walls visible from roadways, commercial business or residences shall have a granite façade. The cost for granite façade finish shall be considered incidental to the associated pay item.

Striping

1. Marking tape is permissible for temporary pavement markings on milled surfaces and freshly paved asphalt when traffic remains in the original configuration. Traffic placed in a new traffic configuration shall require temporary paint striping. Temporary marking must be placed, and maintained until permanent marking can be installed, on all pavement areas to be opened to traffic. The pre-marking layout shall be approved by the City prior to temporary or permanent pavement marking.

2. Interim pavement marking must be installed prior to opening areas to traffic. Traffic configuration changes shall be full pattern pavement markings. Temporary tape is not permissible on traffic configuration changes. The City of Dunwoody shall approve all striping layout. If the project requires asphalt paving, thermoplastic pavement markings must be installed no sooner than 15 days after paving but no later than 30 days after paving on final surface courses. Should the contractor fail to meet these requirements, the City will remove these items from the contract and deduct from the contract any additional costs incurred by the City to complete the work.
