00200 - Information for bidders

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 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. The returned executed Agreement by the Owner to the Contractor shall be accompanied with a Notice to Proceed.

The completion time for all work under this contract is 60 consecutive calendar days AFTER ISSUANCE OF THE NOTICE TO PROCEED based on the following work schedule:

Contract Award – September 23, 2026.

Notice to Proceed – September 30, 2026, or as soon as is feasible.

This will be the required schedule, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director of Public Works, (reference Article 16, "Time for Completion and Liquidated Damages" in the General Conditions).

The Owner may make such investigation as he deems necessary to determine the ability of the Bidder to perform the Work, and the Bidder shall furnish to the Owner all such information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner reserves the right to reject any Bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such

Information for bidders

Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the Agreement and to complete the Work contemplated therein.

A conditional or qualified Bid will not be accepted.

The Owner reserves the right to reject the use of the Bidders subcontractor if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such subcontractor fails to satisfy the Owner that such subcontractor is properly qualified to complete the work contemplated herein. Rejection of the Bidders subcontractor shall not relieve the Bidder of any requirements of the Bid or this Contract nor provide grounds for the Bidder to request compensation for his use of an alternate qualified subcontractor.

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 low Bidder must supply the name and addresses of major material suppliers and subcontractors when requested to do so by the Owner.

Procedure for determining the lowest responsible, qualified bidder:

The Town shall determine the Lowest Responsible Qualified Bidder on the basis of the Bidder’s submission of the lowest Total Bid; responsiveness of the Bidder’s proposal; demonstration of a history of ability and integrity necessary to perform the required work; and certification of the Bidder’s performance of the required work in accordance with the contract documents.

In the event of any discrepancies between this Information for Bidders and other sections of the contract documents, this Information for Bidders shall govern.
