1.02 AWARD OF CONTRACT

A. Consideration of Bids

1. Bid Tabulation

a. General

1) If a minimum Bid amount has been established for any item and the Bidder’s unit or lump sum price is less than the minimum specified amount, the Owner will revise the unit or lump sum price, to the minimum specified amount and recalculate the extension and/or the total Bid price.

b. Reciprocal Preference For Resident Contractors

1) Per RCW 39.04.380, a Bid which is received from a nonresident

Contractor from a state that provides a percentage bidding preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage must be applied to the Bid of that non-resident Contractor. The comparable percentage disadvantage will be per the Contractor’s resident state. A non-resident Contractor will be one who, at the time of Bid, does not have an office located in the State of Washington.

The resident state is the state in which the Contractor was

SCH ROOF AND WINDOWS REPLACEMENT Page 15

FAS rev. August 5, 2025 incorporated or where the Contractor’s business entity was formed.

2) For the purpose of determining the apparent low Bidder, the Owner will multiply the non-resident Contractor’s Bid amount by the comparable percentage disadvantage (CPD). The Bid amount is the total of the Base Bid and all selected Alternates, Additives, or Deductives to be awarded. The Owner will add the product of the CPD percentage and the Bid amount to the nonresident Contractor’s Bid amount, which determines the nonresident disadvantaged total Bid pertaining to the nonresident Contractor to be used for comparison of competing bids.
