INSTRUCTIONS TO AWARDING AUTHORITIES
Determination of Bidder Qualifications
· It is the awarding authority’s responsibility to determine who is the lowest eligible and responsible bidder. You must consider all of the information in the low bidder’s Update Statement in making this determination. Remember: this information was not available to the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance at the time of certification.
· The bidder’s performance on the projects listed in Parts 1 and 2 must be part of your review. Contact the project references.
· AWARDING AUTHORITIES ARE STRONGLYEN COURAGED TO REVIEW THE LOW BIDDER’SENTIRE CERTIFICATION FILE AT THE DIVISION OF CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE. Telephone (617) 727-9320 for an appointment.
Bidding Limits Single Project Limit: The total amount of the bid, including all alternates, may not exceed the bidder’s Single Project Limit.
Aggregate Work Limit: The annual value of the work to be performed on the contract for which the bid is submitted, when added to the annual cost to complete the bidder’s other currently held contracts, may not exceed the bidder’s Aggregate Work Limit. Use the following procedure to determine whether the low bidder is within its Aggregate Work Limit:
Step 1 Review Update Statement Question #2 to make sure that all requested information is provided and that the bidder has accurately calculated and totaled the annualized value of all incomplete work on its currently held contracts (column 9).
Step 2 Determine the annual dollar value of the work to be performed on your project. This is done as follows:
(i) If the project is to be completed in less than 12 months, the annual dollar value of the work is equal to the full amount of the bid.
(ii) If the project will take more than 12months to complete, calculate the number of years given to complete the project by dividing the total number of months in the project schedule by 12 (calculate to 3 decimal places), then divide the amount of the bid by the calculated number of years to find the annual dollar value of the work.
Step 3 Add the annualized value of all of the bidder’s incomplete contract work (the total of column 9 on page 5) to the annual dollar value of the work to be performed on your project. The total may not exceed the bidder’s Aggregate Work Limit.
Correction of Errors and Omissions in Update Statements Matters of Form: An awarding authority shall not reject a contractor’s bid because there are mistakes or omissions of form in the Update Statement submitted with the bid, provided the contractor promptly corrects those mistakes or omissions upon request of the awarding authority. [810 CMR 8.05(1)].
Correction of Other Defects: An awarding authority may, in its discretion, give a contractor notice of defects, other than mistakes or omissions of form, in the contractor’s Update Statement, and an opportunity to correct such defects, provided the correction of such defects is not prejudicial to fair competition. An awarding authority may reject a corrected Update Statement if it contains unfavorable information about the contractor that was omitted from the Update Statement filed with the contractor’s bid. [810 CMR 8.05(2)].
