(b) In the event the contractor violates the domestic iron or steel requirements of subsection (a), and domestic iron or steel is not used, there shall be a downward adjustment in the contract price equal to any realized savings or benefits to the contractor.

I affirm that I understand and agrees that any form of electronic signature, including but not limited to signatures via facsimile, scanning, or electronic mail, may substitute for the original signature and shall have the same legal effect as the original signature.

Revised 8/30/2019

1. BID OPENINGS: All Bid Openings are open to the public and will be held in the City Council Chambers located on the first floor of the Municipal Administration Building, 305 Fountain Circle, Huntsville, Alabama.

2. SUBMISSION OF BIDS: Complete, sealed bids must be clearly marked with the IFB# and received by Procurement Services no later than 2:00:00 PM City time on the bid closing date specified on the cover of this IFB. For the purposes of receiving Bids, the clock located in the City Council Chambers at 305 Fountain Circle, Huntsville, Alabama 35801, regulated by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), shall be the official record of time.

3. LATE BIDS: The City will not be responsible in the event the U.S. Postal Service or any other courier system fails to deliver the bid response to the City’s Procurement Services office by the 2:00:00 PM local time deadline stated in the bid request. Any bid received after the opening date and time will not be considered.

4. PRE-BID CONFERENCES: A Pre-Bid Conference may be scheduled in the bid documents to review and answer any pertinent questions concerning the bid and the specifications.

5. QUESTIONS: Any questions or requests for clarification must be addressed at a Pre-Bid Conference, if scheduled, or submitted in writing no less than five (5) business days prior to the date for receipt of bid responses.

6. ADDENDA: Any material interpretation of specifications or other bid documents, as determined by the City, will be expressed in the form of an addenda issued by the Procurement Services Division of the Finance Department. No notification will be sent regarding the issuance of addenda; therefore, it is the responsibility of the bidder to periodically check the City’s website for any addenda posted and acknowledge receipt of such in their bid response.

The City is not bound by any oral representations, clarifications, or changes made in the written specifications by the City's employees or representatives, unless such clarification or change is provided to bidders in written addendum form from Procurement Services.

7. SPECIFICATIONS: The specifications are provided to potential bidders as guidelines that describe the type and quality of commodity or service the City is seeking to procure. The bidder must indicate compliance or list exceptions to each specification item for consideration. Failure to comply with this provision could be cause for rejection of the bid.

The name of a certain brand, make, manufacturer, or definite specification is to denote the quality standard of the article desired but does not restrict the bidder to the specified brand, make, manufacturer or specification names. It is set forth to convey the general style, type, character, and quality of the article desired by the City. Vendor shall incur all cost involved in obtaining an Independent Laboratory Test if the City deems necessary.

It will be assumed that all bids are based upon the specifications unless the bidder stipulates to the contrary on the proposal form, in which case, the bidder shall point out in detail any and all deviations from the specifications.

Bidders having items that do not meet the specifications may offer the same on an optional basis. Minor exceptions from the specifications may be considered if they do not alter the performance for the intended purpose. The City reserves the right to request a demonstration of any and all items bid before making the award. The City may also include a process in the bid document to pre-approve equal products.

All items bid will be inspected by a representative of the City upon delivery to ascertain compliance with the specifications. Items not in compliance with the specifications will be rejected until proper remedial measures are taken to assure compliance.

8. NEW EQUIPMENT: All manufactured commodities shall be new, latest model unless otherwise stipulated. The bidder shall guarantee that commodities submitted for their bid shall be new, and of the latest and most improved model of the current production and shall be of first quality as to workmanship and materials used in said units. All modifications shall be made at the factory. Equipment shall not have been operated for any purpose other than routine operational testing. Demonstrators will not be accepted unless specifically requested.

9. RESPONSIVE BIDS: Each bid must be submitted in duplicate in a sealed envelope with the IFB/RFP number, the opening date, and General Contractor’s License number clearly noted. Notations stating an amount of any increases or decreases to the bid pricing is acceptable on the outside of the envelope as long as the actual bid price is not revealed. Such notations should be initialed by the preparer. For your convenience, mailing labels for our physical location and mailing address are provided with this document. All bidders must use our bid form and follow all instructions in submitting a response. All bids shall be typewritten or in ink on the form(s) prepared by the City. Bids prepared in pencil will not be accepted. All corrections shall be initialed and dated by the person authorized to sign bids. All bids must be signed by officials of the corporation or company duly authorized to bind the company. Any bid submitted without being signed will automatically be rejected.

10. RESPONSIBLE BIDDERS: The City shall take reasonable measures to determine bidder capability, business integrity, financial resources, and reliability in all respects to perform fully the contract requirements and insure good faith performance prior to contract award and during the term of the contract. At reasonable times, the City may inspect those areas of the contractor’s place of business that are related to the performance of a contract. If the City makes such an inspection, the contractor must provide reasonable assistance. The City reserves the right to inspect on demand and without notice all of the vendors files associated with a subsequent contract where payments are based on contractor’s record of time, salaries, materials, or actual expenses. This same clause will apply to any subcontractors assigned to the contract.

11. BID PRICING: Prices quoted shall be delivered prices, F.O.B. DESTINATION. The City will assume no transportation or handling charges other than specified in the bid. General Contractors are responsible for paying all applicable taxes on materials used for this job. Prices quoted to the City shall remain firm for a minimum of 90 days from the date of opening of the bid, unless so stated differently in the bid. If there are discrepancies in the bid pricing form, the written words prevail.

12. LOCAL PREFERENCE: Not applicable.

13. PRICE REDUCTIONS: Not applicable.

14. DELIVERY/COMPLETION SCHEDULE: In accordance with the bid documents.

15. WARRANTY: The successful contractor shall assume full responsibility for warranty of all components of any installed equipment. The manufacturer's standard warranty shall be furnished at project closeout.

16. BID REJECTION: Bidders may be disqualified, and rejection of bids may be recommended for any of (but not limited to) the following causes:

a. Failure to use the bid forms furnished by the City

b. Lack of signature by an authorized representative on the bid form

c. Failure to properly complete the bid form and vendor compliance

d. Evidence of collusion among bidders.

e. Unauthorized alteration of the bid form.

f. Failure to submit a Bid Bond.

g. Failure to note the General Contractor’s license number or note that the bid amount is less than $50,000.

h. UNBALANCED BID: The City may reject a bid as nonresponsive if the prices bid are materially unbalanced between line items or between the basic scope of work, alternates or options. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices which are significantly overstated or understated in relation to cost for other work, and if there is a reasonable doubt that the bid will result in the lowest overall cost to the City even though it may be the low evaluated bid.

17. BID AWARDS: The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all items covered in the request, or any portion(s) thereof, waive formalities, re-advertise and/or take such other steps decreed necessary and in the best interest of the City.

All bids will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This determination may involve all or some of the following factors: price, conformity to specifications, financial ability to meet the contract, previous performance, facilities and equipment, availability of repair parts, experience, delivery promise, terms of payments, compatibility as required, other costs, and other objective and accountable factors which are reasonable.

Written notification of award will be mailed the successful bidder upon approval of the Huntsville City Council. All other bidders will also be notified by mail and Bid Bonds will be returned at that time. The notice to proceed will be issued upon receipt of performance and payment bonds and certificates of insurance naming the City as additionally insured.

18. CONTRACT ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: The Contractor shall not assign, transfer, convey, sublet or otherwise dispose of his or her contractual duties to any other person, firm or corporation without the previous written consent of the city. If the contractor desires to assign his or her right to payment of the contract, the contractor shall notify the city immediately, in writing, of such assignment of right to payment.
