00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders-2

2. Each Bidder by making his Bid represents that he has visited and thoroughly inspected the existing site and familiarized himself with the local conditions under which the Work will be performed. Bidders are encouraged to make any and all inspections and tests as they feel necessary to achieve such familiarization prior to submitting Bids. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at times mutually acceptable to the Owner and Bidder. Unless waived by the

Owner, Bidders shall make repairs following their testing, as necessary to restore tested areas to pre-testing condition. Should a Bidder conclude that time or other factor(s) prohibits him from performing sufficient tests, he shall so notify the Owner, in writing, prior to the receipt of Bids.

3. The submission of a Bid will be construed as conclusive evidence that the Bidder has made all such examinations and inspections necessary for a complete and proper assessment of the Work required, and that the Bidder has included in his Bid a sum sufficient to cover the cost of all items necessary to perform the Work as set forth in the proposed Contract Documents. No allowance will be made to a Bidder because of lack of such examination, inspection, or knowledge.

4. Each Bidder by making his Bid represents that he has assessed the conditions of the current construction marketplace, and verified that an adequate, experienced workforce is available to suitably man the Work of this Project and complete it in a timely fashion.

5. Each Bidder is assumed to have made himself familiar with all Federal, State and Local laws, ordinances, and regulations which in any manner affect those engaged in or upon the Work, or in any way affect those engaged or employed in the Work, and no plea of misunderstanding will be considered on account of ignorance thereof. The Contractor shall comply with all taxes, fees and assessments as levied by Federal, State and Local authorities.

BIDDING PROCEDURES

1. All Bids must be prepared on the Bid Proposal Form provided in the Specification and submitted in duplicate copies in accordance with the Notice to Bidders and Instructions to Bidders. Any bids submitted that are not on the official bid proposal forms will not be accepted.

5. Prior to the receipt of Bids, Addenda will be e-mailed, mailed, or delivered to each person or firm recorded by the Owner as having received the Bidding Documents and will be available for inspection wherever the Bidding Documents are kept available for that purpose.

00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders-3

BID SECURITY

1. Bid Security shall be made payable to the Owner, in the amount of not less than five percent (5%) of the Bid Sum and shall be attached to the Bid. Security shall be either a certified check made payable to the “Treasurer, State of New Hampshire,” or Bid Bond issued by surety licensed to conduct business in the State of New Hampshire. The successful Bidder's security will be retained until he has signed the Agreement or Contract and furnished the required Performance and Payment Bonds and Certificates of Insurance. The Owner reserves the right to retain the

Security of the next two lowest Bidders until the low Bidder enters into a Contract, or until Sixty

(60) days after Bid opening, whichever occurs first. Bid Security of all other Bidders will be returned as soon as practicable. If any Bidder refuses to enter into an Agreement or Contract, the Owner will retain his Bid Security as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty.

EXAMINATION OF BIDDING DOCUMENTS

1. Each Bidder shall examine the Bidding Documents carefully and, not later than seven (7) days prior to the date of receipt of Bids, shall make written request to the Owner for interpretation or correction of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or error therein, which he may discover. Any interpretation or correction will be issued as an Addendum by the Owner. Only a written interpretation or correction by Addendum will be binding. No Bidder shall rely upon any interpretation or correction given by any other method. Bidders are encouraged to direct any questions which may arise to the Owner, in order to provide necessary clarifications prior to the receipt of Bids. Bidders shall promptly notify the Owner of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or error which they may discover upon examination of the Bidding Documents, or the existing building, site, or local conditions. Should a Bidder fail to notify the Owner of errors, discrepancies, or contradictions, he shall be assumed to have bid the more expensive alternative.

SUBSTITUTIONS

1. Each Bidder represents that his Bid is based upon the materials and equipment described in the

Bidding Documents. Where the language "or approved equal" is used in the Bidding Documents, it is intended to require that all such materials and equipment shall be submitted as required by these Instructions to Bidders and approved by the Owner prior to the receipt of Bids.

2. No substitution will be considered unless written request has been submitted to the Owner for approval at least seven (7) days prior to the date for receipt of Bids. Each such request shall conform to the requirements of Section 01 25 00 “Substitution Procedure.”.

3. If a Bidder proposes to use a material which, while suitable for the intended use, deviates in any way from the detailed requirements of the Contract Documents, he shall inform the Owner in writing of the nature of such deviations at the time the material is submitted for approval. It shall be the responsibility of the Bidder to notify the Owner, in writing, of the presence of Asbestos or any other hazardous materials in any proposed substitution. Such written notice shall be in the form of a cover letter attached to the related documents.

00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders-4

4. In requesting approval of deviations or substitutions, a Bidder shall provide, upon request, evidence leading to a reasonable certainty that the proposed substitution or deviation will provide a quality of result at least equal to that otherwise attainable. If, in the opinion of the Owner, the evidence presented by the Bidder does not provide a sufficient basis for such reasonable certainty, the Owner may reject such substitution or deviation without further investigation.

5. In requesting approval of substitutions, a Bidder represents that he will provide the same warranty and/or guarantee for the substitution that he would for that specified.

6. The Contract Documents are intended to produce a building and site improvements of consistent character and quality of design. The Owner shall judge the design and appearance of proposed substitutes on the basis of their suitability in relationship to the overall design of the Project, as well as for their intrinsic merits. The Owner will not approve proposed substitutions which, in his opinion, would be out of character, obtrusive, or otherwise inconsistent with the character or quality of design of the project.

7. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for coordinating the installation of accepted substitutions, making such changes as may be required for the Work to be complete in all respects. Any additional cost, or any loss or damage arising from the substitution of any material or any method for those originally specified shall be borne by the Contractor, notwithstanding approval or acceptance of such substitution by the Owner, unless such substitution was made at the written request or direction of the Owner.

8. The burden of proof of the merit of a proposed substitution is upon the proposer. Approval of a proposed substitution is valid only upon issuance by the Owner in written form, and the Owner's decision of approval or disapproval of a proposed substitution shall be considered final.

DETERMINATION OF RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS WITH STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

1. If selected as the low bidder, the bidder must be registered and have a Certificate of Good

Standing from the Secretary of State, Corporate Division (telephone 603-271-3244) in order to do business with the State of New Hampshire.

PROPOSAL SELECTION

1. In most cases the proposal submitted by the qualified bidder with the lowest base bid price shall be selected.

CONTRACTORS QUALIFICATIONS

(2) years by the Contractor shall be submitted along with contact information for three (3)

00 21 13 Instructions to Bidders-5 references or owners representatives involved with three (3) different projects completed by the

1. Execution and Approval of Agreement: The Agreement shall be signed by the successful Bidder and returned, together with Bonds if applicable, within fifteen (15) Days after the Agreement has been mailed or otherwise delivered to the Bidder.

$10,000, the Agreement has been concurred in by Governor and Council.

Award of the Contract may then be made to the next lowest Bidder, or the Work may be re-advertised as the Commissioner of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources may decide.
