Bidder acknowledges that the amount of actual damages the District would suffer in such event is extremely difficult and impractical to determine at this time by reason of the uncertainties, lapse of time, expense and loss of likely bidders resulting from the probable need to re-advertise and call for new bids. Bidder agrees that if a default occurs, the amount of such Bid Guarantee shall be kept by the District as liquidated damages and agrees that the District may then award the work to any other bidder or may call for new bids. All Bid Guarantees will be held until after an award is made, an Agreement fully executed, and required bonds and proof of insurance provided for the Work, at which time they will be returned.

p. RESPONSIVE PROPOSAL The District will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive proposal based on the information contained in the bid. The lowest bid shall be the lowest bid price on the Total Base Bid. District may contact firms to clarify information contained in their proposal.

In addition, District may require that Contractor submit a complete disclosure of contractor’s staffing level, current and anticipated workload, and affirm that they can meet all project requirements and have the personnel and equipment to complete the project within the budget and schedule stipulated in the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding Contractor’s affirmation that they can meet the project requirements, if District, in their review of Contractor’s past performance, finds documented evidence of inability to meet project schedule or cost requirements, District will have cause to reject the Bid. Refer to Item 16.

Criteria for a responsive proposal from a responsible bidder include but are not limited to the following requirements:

Qualifications and appropriate licensing of assigned personnel & listed subcontractors Ability to perform work within the specified project schedule and budget

Proposed fee and overall cost effectiveness of the bid Experience completing similar work

q. RIGHT TO REJECT BIDS The District reserves the right to reject any or all Bid Proposals, to waive any informality, minor technical defect, or irregularity in Bid Proposals, and to accept or reject any items of a Bid Proposal.

The District reserves the right to reject any and all bids. District will reject bids from any contractor for whom there is documented evidence of project schedule delays and cost overruns and / or documented inability to meet project performance requirements.

s. BID PROTESTS A bidder who intends to protest the apparent low bid must submit the protest to the District project manager within five (5) working days after the District’s issuance of the Memorandum of the Bid Opening, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and District holidays. The Memorandum of the Bid Opening is normally issued by District staff on the day of the Bid Opening to all bidders, identifying the apparent low bidder.

a. The bid protest must be a complete written statement detailing the basis for the protest, including reference to specific facts, portions of the bid or contract documents, or reference to specific statutes, that form the basis for the protest. The protest must be signed by the party filing the protest.

c. The protest may be withdrawn at any time while under consideration by the District.

d. Review by District

The District project manager will notify the apparent low bidder of the bid protest.

The District will afford the apparent low bidder the opportunity to submit a response to the written protest.

The District will review timely protests prior to awarding the contract. The

District is not required to hold an administrative hearing to consider a bid protest but may do so at the sole option of the Assistant General Manager, or if otherwise legally required. The AGM or his/her designee shall consider the merits of any timely protests and make a final determination thereon.

t. BASIS OF CONTRACT AWARD Definitions:

(a) The Total Base Bid is the contractor’s Bid for all items listed in the Bid Proposal.

(b) For a definition of Responsible Bidder, see Instructions to Bidders, Item o.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest Responsible Bidder, as defined above under Responsive Proposal considering the following factors:

(a) If the lowest Total Base Bid is equal to or less than the Project Budget (as stated in Instructions to Bidders), the contract will be awarded to that Bidder.

(b) If the lowest Total Base Bid is greater than the Project Budget, that Bidder may be awarded the contract, or, all Bids may be rejected, at the sole discretion of the District;

(c) In the event of a tied low bid, the award would be based on a coin toss or equivalent random selection process.

(d) The District reserves the right to reject any or all of the Bids at its sole discretion.

Incorrect Totals. In the event a computational error for any bid item results in an incorrect extended total for that item, the submitted base bid total will be adjusted to reflect the corrected amount as the product of the estimated quantity and the unit cost. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price.

Likewise, in the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for any bid alternate, and the amount entered for the alternate on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized prices shown on the Bid Schedule for that alternate will be deemed the alternate price. Nothing in this provision is intended to prevent a bidder from requesting to withdraw its bid for material error under Public Contract Code § 5100 et seq.

u. NOTICE OF AWARD Immediately after Board action, the District Representative will notify the Contractor in writing of award of the contract. Contractor shall provide District Representative a Labor and Materials Payment Bond, Performance Bond, Proof of Insurance, and signed Agreement within ten (10) calendar days of Award of Contract.
