Information for bidders

The Contract Documents contain the provisions required for the construction of the Project. Information obtained from an officer, agent, or employee of the Owner or any other person shall not affect the risks or obligations assumed by the Contractor or relieve the Bidder from fulfilling any of the conditions of the contract.

Each Bidder must include completed Qualifications of Bidder and Non-Collusive Bid Statement forms with his Bid. The low Bidder is required to submit completed Qualifications of Subcontractors, and non-collusion Affidavit of Subcontractor forms within ten (10) days of the Bid.

Each Bid must be accompanied by a Bid Bond payable to the Owner for fifteen (15) percent of the total amount of the Bid, including both the base bid amount and all alternates. As soon as the Bid prices have been compared, the Owner will return the bonds of all except the three lowest responsible Bidders. When the Agreement is executed the bonds of the two remaining unsuccessful Bidders will be returned. The Bid Bond of the successful Bidder will be retained until the payment bond and performance bond have been executed and approved, after which it will be returned. The surety on the Bid

9/8/26, 5:20 PM Print - Specifications & Project Manual for Wakeman Farm Town Barn Town of Westport Request for Proposal #27-179T Electrical about:blank 5/66

Bond must be a corporate surety licensed to sign surety bonds in the State of Connecticut and also listed by the United States Treasury Department in its latest list as a qualified surety acceptable to the United States Government. No bid bond will be accepted if the amount is less than 15% of the total estimated bid, including both the base bid and all alternates, or if the amount exceeds the limit for which the United States Treasury Department has qualified the surety for any one bond. A certified check may be used in lieu of a Bid Bond.

A Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each in the amount of 100 percent of the Contract Price, with a corporate surety approved by the owner, will be required for the faithful performance of the contract. The surety on the bond must meet the requirements stated under Bid Security except that the amount of the bond may exceed the limit for which the United States Treasury Department has qualified the surety if the excess is reinsured with surety companies that are qualified on the United States Treasury Department list for an amount equal to the amount of the reinsurance. Written evidence of how any excess suretyship has been placed by the surety signing the bond must accompany the bond.

Attorneys-in-fact who sign the Bid Bonds or Payment Bonds and Performance Bonds must file with each bond a certified and effective dated copy of their power of attorney.

The party to whom the contract is awarded will be required to execute the Agreement and obtain the Performance Bond and Payment Bond within ten calendar days from the date when Notice of Award is delivered to the Bidder. The Notice of Award shall be accompanied by the necessary Agreement and bond forms. In case of failure of the Bidder to execute the Agreement, the Owner may at his option consider the Bidder in default, in which case the Bid Bond accompanying the proposal shall become the property of the Owner.

The Owner, upon receipt of acceptable Performance Bond, Payment Bond, and Agreement signed by the Contractor shall sign the Agreement and return to the Contractor an executed duplicate of the Agreement within a 10-day period.

All applicable laws, ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over construction of the project shall apply to the contract throughout.

Each Bidder is responsible for inspecting the site and for reading and being thoroughly familiar with the Contract Documents. The failure or omission of any Bidder to do any of the foregoing shall in no way relieve any Bidder from any obligation in respect to his Bid.

The Engineer, the Owner and their representatives will at all times have access to the Work. The Contractor will provide proper facilities for access, inspection, and observation of the Work. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of the Engineer, it must, if requested by the Engineer, be uncovered for his observation and replaced at the Contractor's expense.

Any cost differential shall be deductible from the Contract Price and the Contract Documents shall be appropriately modified by Change Order. The Contractor warrants that if substitutes are approved, no major changes in the function or general design of the Project will result. Incidental changes or extra component parts required to accommodate the substitute will be made by the Contractor without a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time.
