PWC further reserves the right to request additional information from any or all bidders for evaluation purposes; failure or refusal to furnish such information as requested may result in rejection of the bid. The bid tabulation and announcement of the apparent low bidder at the bid opening do not constitute a binding contract with PWC. No contract will be considered awarded until a formal written Agreement is executed by both PWC and the successful bidder. The award of a contract, if made, will be to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder whose qualifications indicate the award will be in the best interest of PWC.

3. It is the intent of PWC to recommend the award of this contract to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder provided the Bid has been submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Bidding Documents and does not exceed the funds available. In determining the lowest responsible Bidder, PWC may consider, among other criteria, the Bidder's past performance conduct on other contracts, and other information provided by the Bidder as noted below.

4. In determining the lowest responsive Bidder, PWC will evaluate the Bidder’s proposed Bid price and the completeness of the submitted bid in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

7. PWC reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder who does not pass any such evaluation to PWC’s satisfaction.

8. If the Contract is to be awarded, PWC will give the Successful Bidder a Notice of Award within ninety (90) days after the day of the Bid Opening.

10. The Bidder is required to complete the attached forms that will allow PWC to verify that the Bidder is qualified to perform the Work described in these Contract Documents. All forms shall be completed and submitted with the Bid. Failure to submit all the required forms shall be considered grounds for PWC to reject the bid.

PWC will review all of the bids and qualification data to determine the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder. PWC reserves the right to not award the Contract to the lowest bidder if the information provided is not complete, does not meet the satisfaction of PWC, or has been falsified. PWC will not request any additional information in order to allow the Contractor to complete bid.

The Bidder shall address each of the Evaluation Criteria as requested in the Technical Evaluation Criteria Form located within Section A Project Specifics Bid Submittal Documents. To be considered substantive, the information must respond to all requirements.

12. PWC may conduct such investigations/verifications as deemed necessary to establish the responsibility, qualification and financial ability of the Bidder. Should PWC find that the apparent low bidder is not the lowest responsive, responsible bidder by integrity of the information furnished, said apparent low bidder will be so notified and its bid bond shall be returned without prejudice. Failure or refusal to furnish any items of information requested by PWC shall be considered as non-responsive and therefore basis for rejection of the bid.
