Prior Questionnaires or SOQ submitted in response to other Notice to Bidders are not acceptable.
2. If upon review of the Questionnaire and SOQ, or otherwise, the Bidder appears not fully qualified or able to perform the intended work, the HOPA shall, after affording the Bidder an opportunity to be heard and if still of the opinion that the Bidder is not fully qualified to perform the work, refuse to receive or to consider any bid offered by the prospective Bidder.

In the event of a tie bid, the low Bidder shall be determined in accordance with §3-122-34, HAR.
In the comparison of bids, words written in the proposals will govern over figures and unit prices will govern over totals.
Until the award of the contract, DHHL may cancel the solicitation, reject any and all bids/proposals in whole or part, and may waive any defects or technicalities whenever such action is deemed to be in the best interest of DHHL.
B. IRREGULAR PROPOSALS.
Proposals will be considered irregular and may be rejected for the following reasons:
1. If the proposal is unsigned.
2. If bid security is not in accordance with Section II.E. BID SECURITY.
3. If proposal is on a form other than that furnished by DHHL; or if the form is altered or any part thereof detached.

5. If the Bidder adds any provisions reserving the right to accept or reject an award.
6. If the Bidder adds any provisions reserving the right to enter into a contract pursuant to an award.

C. CORRECTION OF BIDS AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS (§3-122-31, HAR)
1. Corrections to bids after bid openings but prior to award may be made under the following conditions:
(a) If the mistake is attributable to an arithmetical error, the HOPA shall correct the mistake. In case of errors in extension of bid price, the unit price shall govern.
(b) If the mistake is a minor informality which shall not affect price, quantity, quality, delivery, or contractual conditions, the Bidder shall request correction by submitting proof of evidentiary value which demonstrates that a mistake was made. The HOPA shall prepare a written approval or denial in response to this request. Examples of such mistakes include:
(1) Typographical errors;
(2) Transposition errors;
(3) Failure of a Bidder to sign the bid, but only if the unsigned bid is accompanied by other material indicating the Bidder’s intent to be bound.
(c) For reasons not allowable under Subsections III.C.1.(a) and III.C.1.(b) when the HOPA determines that the correction or waiver of an obvious mistake is in the best interest of DHHL or is warranted for the fair treatment of other Bidders.
2. Withdrawal of bids after bid opening but prior to award may be made when the bid contains a mistake attributable to an obvious error which affects price, quantity, quality, delivery, or contractual conditions, and the Bidder requests withdrawal by submitting proof of evidentiary value which demonstrates that a mistake was made.
The HOPA shall prepare a written approval or denial in response to this request.
3. Correction or withdrawal of bids after award is not permissible except in response to a written withdrawal or correction request by the Contractor, and the HOPA makes a written determination that DHHL’s procurement practices and policies would not be materially affected by such correction or withdrawal.
D. AWARD OF CONTRACT
1. The award of contract, if it is awarded, will be made within thirty
(30) consecutive calendar days after the opening of the proposals to the lowest responsible and responsive Bidder (including the alternate or alternates which may be selected by the HOPA in the case of alternate bids) whose proposal complies with all the requirements prescribed, but in no case will an award be made until all necessary investigations are made. The successful Bidder will be notified, by letter mailed to the address shown in the proposal, that its bid has been accepted and that it has been awarded the contract.
2. If the contract is not awarded within the thirty (30) days noted in Subsection III.D.1 above, DHHL may request the successful Bidder to extend the time for the acceptance of its bid. The Bidder may reject such a request without penalty; in such cases, DHHL may at its sole discretion make a similar offer to the next lowest responsive and responsible Bidder and so on until a bid is duly accepted or until the DHHL elects to stop making such requests.
3. No contract will be awarded to any person or firm suspended or debarred under the provisions of Chapters 103D, 104 and Chapter 444, HRS, as amended.
4. The contract will be drawn on the forms furnished by HOPA. The contract will not be binding on DHHL until all required signatures have been affixed thereto and written certification that funds are available for the work has been made.
5. Prior to award of the contract, DHHL shall verify compliance with Sections 103D- 310 and 103D-328, HRS via Hawaii Compliance Express (“HCE”). Firms who decline to participate in HCE shall submit paper certificates in a timely manner, as prescribed by the HOPA, or its designee, or risk determination that the bid is non-responsive.
E. CANCELLATION OF AWARD.
After procurement posting of award of contract, DHHL reserves the right to cancel the award of any contract at any time before the execution of said contract by all parties. The exclusive remedy to the awardee for such cancellation shall be payment of the reasonable bid preparation costs and the reimbursement of any direct expenses incurred as directed in the Notice of Award. Such cancellation will not incur any liability by DHHL to any other Bidder.
F. REQUIREMENT OF PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS
1. Performance bond and Payment Bond shall be required for contracts of $50,000
(fifty thousand dollars) and higher. At the time of the execution of the contract, the successful Bidder shall file good and sufficient performance bond and payment bond on the form furnished by DHHL, each in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the contract price unless otherwise stated in the solicitation of bids. Bidders may use their own form, which complies with similar content in DHHL’s bond forms.
Acceptable performance and payment bonds shall be limited to the following:
(a) Surety bonds underwritten by a company licensed to issue bonds in this State; or
(b) A certificate of deposit; credit union share certificate; or cashier’s, treasurer’s, teller’s or official check drawn by, or a certified check accepted by, and payable on demand to DHHL by a bank, a savings institution, or credit union insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Administration.
(1) These instruments may be utilized for only a maximum of $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars).
(2) If the required security or bond amount totals over $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars), more than one instrument not exceeding $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars) each and issued by different financial institutions shall be acceptable.
(3) A company check, or a personal check is not acceptable as a teller’s check and not considered an official check.
2. If the Contractor fails to deliver the required performance and payment bonds, the Contractor's award shall be canceled; DHHL shall have the remedies provided below under Section III.,I, FAILURE TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT and award of the contract shall be made to the next lowest responsible and responsive Bidder.
G. EXECUTION OF THE CONTRACT
1. The contract shall be signed by the successful Bidder and returned, together with satisfactory performance and payment bonds, within ten (10) calendar days after the Bidder is awarded the contract for execution or within such further time as the HOPA may allow. No proposal or contract shall be considered binding upon the DHHL until the contract has been fully and properly executed by all parties thereto.
For projects funded with State Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funds, the HOPA shall also endorse thereon its certificate, as required by Section 103D-309, HRS, that there is an available unexpended appropriation or balance of an appropriation over and above all outstanding contracts are sufficient to cover DHHL’s amount required by such contract.
2. On any individual award totaling less than $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars), the DHHL reserves the right to execute the contract by the issuance of a Purchase Order. Issuance of a Purchase Order shall result in a binding contract between the parties without further action by DHHL. The issuance of a Purchase Order shall not be deemed a waiver of the General Conditions and Contract Document requirements.
H. FAILURE TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT
1. Before the Award. If a low Bidder without legal justification withdraws its bid after the opening of bids but before the award of the contract, DHHL shall be entitled to retain as damages the amount established as bid security and may take all appropriate actions to recover the damages sum from the property or third-party obligations deposited as bid security.
2. After the Award. If the Bidder to which a contract is awarded shall fail or neglect to enter into the contract and to furnish satisfactory security within ten (10) calendar days after such award or within such further time as the HOPA may allow, DHHL shall be entitled to recover from such Bidder its actual damages, including but not limited to the difference between the bid and the next lowest responsive bid, as well as personnel and administrative costs, consulting and legal fees and other expenses incurred in arranging a contract with the next low responsible and responsive Bidder or calling for new bids. DHHL may apply all or part of the amount of the bid security to reduce its damages. If upon determination by DHHL that the bid security exceeds the amount of its damages, it shall release or return the excess to the Bidder who provided same.
3. HOPA’s Options. Upon a withdrawal of the lowest responsive bid, or upon a refusal or failure of the lowest Bidder to execute the contract, the Chairman may thereupon award the contract to the next lowest responsible and responsive Bidder or may call for new bids, whichever method the HOPA may deem to be in the best interests of DHHL.
