City Charter states that no officer or employee of the City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in any contract with the City, nor shall be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the sale to the City of any land, or rights or interest in any land, materials, supplies or services.

This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by ownership of stock in a corporation involved, provided such stock ownership amounts to less than one percent (1%) of the corporation stock. Any violation of this prohibition will constitute malfeasance in office.

Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof should thereby forfeit his office or position. Any violation of this prohibition with the knowledge, expressed or implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City shall render the contract voidable by the City

Manager or the City Council. The Contractor represents that no employee or officer of the City has an interest in the Contractor.

6. Certificate of Interested Parties

Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) must be provided per the Texas Legislature adoption of House Bill 1295 which added section 2252.908 of the Government Code. The law states that a government entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the government entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either 1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or 2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2021. The completed form must be submitted on www.ethics.state.tx.us by the selected contractor prior to the City Council meeting to award the project.

7. Examination of Contract Documents and Sites.

7.1 Access to the sites shall be from the street and right-of-way at the respective intersections. It shall be the contractor’s total responsibility to provide necessary and adequate barricades in accordance with the City of The Colony requirements. Prospective Bidders shall respect all improvements. It is the responsibility of each Bidder before submitting a Bid, to: (a) examine the Contract Documents thoroughly, (b) visit the sites to become familiar with local conditions that may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of the Work, (c) consider federal, state and local Laws and Regulations that may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of the

Work, (d) study and carefully correlate Bidder's observations with the Contract Documents, and

(e) notify Engineer of all conflicts, errors or discrepancies in the Contract Documents. Failure to http://www.ethics.state.tx.us/

1-6 make these examinations shall in no way relieve any Bidder from the responsibility of fulfilling all of the terms of the contract, without additional cost to the OWNER.

7.2 The location and depth of existing utilities shown on the plans are approximate and may not include all utilities within the site. All existing structures, improvements, and utilities shall be located and adequately protected, at the expense of the Contractor, from damage that might otherwise occur due to construction operations. Where construction comes in close proximity to existing structures or utilities, or if it becomes necessary to move services, poles, guy wires, pipelines, or other obstructions, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify and cooperate with the utility or structure owner. It shall be the Contractor's total responsibility to verify locations and depths sufficiently in advance of construction such that necessary adjustments may be made to allow for the proper installation. The Contractor shall be liable for damage to any utilities resulting from the construction of this project.

7.3 Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder shall, at Bidder's own expense, make or obtain any additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests and studies and obtain any additional information and data which pertain to the physical conditions (surface, subsurface and underground facilities) at or contiguous to the site or otherwise which may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of the Work and which Bidder deems necessary to determine its Bid for performing and furnishing the Work in accordance with the time, price and other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.

7.4 On request in advance, Owner will provide each Bidder access to the site to conduct explorations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of a Bid. Bidder shall fill all holes, clean up and restore the sites to its former conditions upon completion of such explorations.

7.5 The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way and easements for access thereto and other lands designated for use by Contractor in performing the Work are identified in the Contract documents.

7.6 The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by Bidder that Bidder has complied with every requirement of this Article 7, that without exception the Bid is premised upon performing and furnishing the work required by the Contract Documents and such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction as may be indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, and that the Contract Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions for performance and furnishing of the Work.

No substitutions should be considered during the bidding process.

11. Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Others.

11.1 If the Owner requests the identity of any Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other persons or organizations to be submitted to the Owner in advance of the specified date prior to the Effective

Date of the Agreement, the apparent Successful Bidder, and any other Bidder so requested, shall within seven (7) days after the request submit to the Owner a list of all such Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations proposed for those portions of the Work for which such identification is requested. An experience statement shall accompany such list with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such

Subcontractor, supplier, person or organization if requested by the Owner. If the Owner, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, other

1-8 person or organization, may, before the Notice of Award is given, request the apparent

Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute in which case the apparent Successful

Bidder shall submit an acceptable substitute. Bidder's Bid price may be increased (or decreased) by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and the Owner may consider such price adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the contract award.

If the apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, the Owner may award the contract to the next lowest responsible Bidder that proposes to use acceptable

Subcontractors, Suppliers, other persons and organizations. The declining to make requested substitutions will not constitute grounds for sacrificing the Bid security of any Bidder.

11.2 No Contractor shall be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or organization against which Contractor has reasonable objection.

16.2 If, within twenty-four hours after the Bids are opened, any Bidder files a duly signed written notice with the Owner and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of

Owner that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of the Bid, that

Bidder may withdraw his bid. Thereafter, that Bidder will be disqualified from further bidding on the work.

More than one bid from an individual, firm or partnership, corporation or association, under the same or different names, will not be considered.

Bids in which prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected.

18. Bids to Remain Subject to Acceptance.

All Bids will remain subject to acceptance for ninety (90) days after the day of the Bid opening, but the Owner may, in its sole discretion, release any Bid prior to that date.

The Owner also reserves the right to reject all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids. Also, the Owner reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder if the Owner believes that it would not be in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the Bid is not responsive or the Bidder is unqualified or has doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by the Owner.

Discrepancies in the multiplication of units of Work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of

1-10 the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.

19.2 In evaluating Bids, the owner will consider the qualifications of the Bidders, whether or not the

Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such alternates, unit prices, completion time, and other data, as may be requested in the Bid form or prior to the Notice of Award.

19.3 The Owner may consider the qualifications and experience of any Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other persons or organizations proposed for those portions of the Work as to which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations must be submitted as requested by the Owner. The Owner also may consider the operating costs, maintenance requirements, performance data and guarantees of major items of materials and equipment proposed for incorporation in the Work when such data is required to be submitted prior to the

Notice of Award.

19.4 The Owner may conduct such investigations as the owner deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial stability of

Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations to perform and furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to the Owner's satisfaction within the prescribed time.

19.5 If contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsible Bidder whose evaluation by the Owner indicates to the Owner that the award will be in the best interests of the

Project. The Owner’s evaluation in determining “lowest responsible bidder” will include consideration of skill, judgement, and integrity necessary to the faithful performance of the contract, as well as sufficient financial resources and ability. The Owner will also consider performance by the Offeror under previous contracts with the City.

19.6 If the contract is to be awarded, the Owner will give the Successful Bidder a Notice of Award within ninety (90) days after the date of the Bid opening.

24. Sales Tax.

The bidder shall not include or provide for sales tax on tangible personal property to be incorporated into the project. In order to be exempt from the sales tax on such tangible personal property, the contract shall separate and provide separate charges for materials to be incorporated into the project from charges for labor. The City will provide the Contractor with an exemption certificate for the materials. The contractor is expected to issue a resale certificate in lieu of paying a sales tax at the time of purchase.
