Furthermore, the Village reserves the right to award each item to a different Bidder, or all items to a single Bidder unless otherwise noted on in this solicitation. The Village may determine as follows: 1) an equal or alternative is a satisfactory substitute; 2) an early delivery date is entitled to more consideration than price; 3) an early delivery date is to be disregarded because of the reputation of the

Not less than the Prevailing Wages as found by the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) or determined by the court on review shall be paid to laborers, workmen, and mechanics performing work under this contract.

Prevailing Wage Act, Illinois Revised Statutes, Chapter 48, Section 39S-1 et seq.) Contractors are responsible for paying prevailing wage, when required, based on the most current IDOL standards, throughout the term of the contract.

In 2018, the Illinois General Assembly passed legislation to make changes to the certified payroll portion of the Prevailing Wage Act. When Governor Pritzker took office in 2019, SB 203 was signed into law (PA

100-1177). Prior to the law, certified payrolls were submitted to the local or state public body funding the project. Under the new law, the Illinois Department of Labor is charged with developing and maintaining an online portal where all prevailing wage construction contractors file their certified payrolls with the department, otherwise known as Certified Transcript of Payroll portal.

820 ILCS 265/15 requires the successful contractor, before work commences, to file with the Public Body certification that they have a substance-abuse program and provide drug testing.

7.10. Payment

Payment shall be made within 30 days of invoice receipt and approval, unless otherwise specified in the agreed upon contract. All invoices must include the PO number associated with the order and shall be submitted to the Village of Schaumburg, Accounts Payable Division, 101 Schaumburg Court, Schaumburg, IL 60193. If prevailing wage is a requirement of the contract, the invoice must include IDOL filing certificate and waivers. Failure to submit all documentation as specified may result in delay of invoice payment.

7.11. Period of Unemployment

Public Act 30 ILCS 570 Employment of Illinois Workers on Public Works Act must be adhered to in entirety by the awarded contractor. This act requires the use of Illinois workers on Public Works projects during periods of excess unemployment, which means any month immediately following 2 consecutive calendar months during which the level of unemployment in the State of Illinois has exceeded 5% as measured by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in its monthly publication of employment and unemployment figures. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this provision is currently applicable.

7.12. Toxic Substance

Prior to delivery of any material which is caustic, corrosive, flammable, or dangerous to handle, the supplier will provide written directions as to methods of handling such products, as well as the antidote or neutralizing material required for its first aid. (Materials Safety Data Sheet).

7.13. Guarantees and Warranties

All guarantees and warranties required shall be furnished by the Bidder and shall be delivered to the

In the event of default and termination, the

Village may procure, upon such terms and in such a manner as the Village may deem appropriate, supplies, or services similar to those terminated. The Bidder shall be liable for any excess costs for such similar supplies or service unless evidence is submitted to the Village that, in the sole opinion of the

Village, clearly proves that failure to perform the contract was due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Bidder.

8. Supplemental Conditions - Construction Bids

8.1. Examination of Premises, Measurements, and Elevations

The Bidder shall verify all measurements relative to the work, shall be responsible for the correctness of same. The Bidder will examine the site and the premises and satisfy themselves as to the existing conditions under which the Bidder will be obligated to operate. Failure of the Bidder to notify the

Village, in writing, of any condition(s) or measurement(s) making it impossible to carry out the work as shown and specified, will be construed as meaning no such conditions exist and no additional moneys will be added to the contract. The successful Bidder must notify all utility companies that are a part of

J.U.L.I.E. of the responsibility of each utility company to locate its utilities. The Village will not accept any liability or pay any additional costs in the event any unknown utilities are uncovered which may result in the redesign, delay, or need for additional equipment on the job site.

No claim whatsoever will be allowed to any contract for changes, extra work, or material, not included in the Bidder’s original bid, or for a greater amount of money than the contract states is to be paid, for any reason, including, but not limited to subsurface or latent physical conditions, or unknown physical conditions at the site. The Bidder is responsible for making a full examination of the site of the proposed work, and bid documents, specifications, general conditions, plans, special provisions, and contract forms before submitting their bid. The Bidder is responsible for fully informing themselves as to the quality and quantity of materials required, and the character of the work to be performed.

50 ILCS 525/5 require the successful contractor verify any change order request you receive from a subcontractor will not exceed 49% of your original subcontract amount. Any needed change order that will increase the subcontract by 50% or more will require your opening up that portion of the work to competitive bidding.

8.3. Failure to Execute

Failure to execute the contract shall, at the option of the Village, constitute a breach of the agreement made by acceptance of the bid, and the Village shall be entitled to forfeiture of the certified check, bank draft, or Bid Bond accompanying the bid that is required, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages. In the event of failure of a Bidder to whom an award of contract has been made, to execute the contract and furnish a Performance Bond within ten (10) days after notification of award, such award may be nullified and an award may be made to the next lowest responsive and responsible Bidder approved by the Village.

8.4. Bid Security

Each bid shall be accompanied by a bid security in the amount of 10% of the total amount bid. Bid security shall be in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check, drawn on a responsible bank doing business in the United States and made payable to the Village of Schaumburg, or a Bid Bond by a surety company which is satisfactory to the Village and is qualified to do business in Illinois.

The bid security of the accepted

Bidder, (if in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check) will be returned either upon execution of a contract and submittal of a performance bond, if required by the specifications, or where no performance bond is required, when, in the Village’s estimation, the contract has been satisfactorily completed. When the bid security is submitted in the form of a bid bond, the bond will become null and void following the award of contract and the Village’s receipt of the Performance Bond, if required by the specifications. Should the Bidder fail to fulfill the contract as set forth, the bid security shall become payable to the Village as liquidated damages.

8.5. Performance Security

The successful Bidder shall furnish as performance security a Performance Bond acceptable to the

Village prior to the start of any work. The bond shall be in the sum of 100% of the contract amount.
