8. Interpretations and addenda.

8.1 Any questions regarding interpretations or clarifications or any other aspect of the bid shall be submitted in writing to the OWNER. Only questions addressed by formal written Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.

9.2 Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a detailed

Progress and Schedule bar chart to the OWNER for approval.

9.4 BIDDER agrees that all work awarded will be completed within 150 working days. Should an inclement weather day occur, the CONTRACTOR by the end of the next workday will submit written documentation to the CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR assigned by the City for review.

10. Substitute or "Or-Equal" Items.

The Contract, if awarded, will be on the basis of materials and equipment described in the Drawings or specified in the Specifications without consideration of possible substitute or "or-equal" items. Whenever it is indicated in the Drawings or specified in the Specifications that a substitute or "or-equal" item of material or equipment may be furnished or used by CONTRACTOR if acceptable to ENGINEER and OWNER, application for such acceptance will not be considered until after the Effective Date of the Agreement. No substitutions should be considered during the bidding process.

11 Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Others.

11.1 If the OWNER requests the identity of any Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other persons or organizations to be submitted to the OWNER in advance of the specified date prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement, the apparent Successful BIDDER, and any other BIDDER so requested, shall within seven

(7) business days after the request submit to the OWNER a list of all such Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations proposed for those portions of the Work for which such identification is requested. An experience statement shall accompany such list with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each such Subcontractor, supplier, person or organization if requested by the OWNER. If the OWNER, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or organization, may, before the Notice of Award is given, request the apparent Successful BIDDER to submit an acceptable substitute in which case the apparent Successful BIDDER shall submit an acceptable substitute. BIDDER's Bid price may be increased (or decreased) by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and the OWNER may consider such price adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the contract award.

If the apparent Successful BIDDER declines to make any such substitution, the OWNER may award the contract to the next lowest and acceptable BIDDER that proposes to use acceptable Subcontractors, Suppliers, other persons and organizations. The declining to make requested substitutions will not constitute grounds for sacrificing the Bid security of any BIDDER.

11.2 No CONTRACTOR shall be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or organization against which CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.

12. Professional Services.

In selecting an architect, ENGINEER or land surveyor, etc., to provide professional services, if any, that are required by the specifications, BIDDER shall not do so on the basis of competitive bids but shall make such selection on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform the services in the manner provided by Section 2254.004 of the Texas Government Code and so shall certify to the City of Cedar Hill with its bid. (Please attach certification to submitted bid).

13 Bid Proposal.

The blank spaces in the Bid Form shall be filled in for each item for which a quantity is given and the BIDDER shall state the price for which he proposes to do each item of work. All blanks on the bid form must be completed in ink or typed. No substitutions, revisions, or omissions from the plans and/or specifications will be accepted unless authorized in writing by the OWNER.

Electronic Bid Forms. Computer-generated pages of the bid form may be used in lieu of the Bid Form provided. This option is provided for the convenience of the BIDDER.

The use of an electronic Bid Form shall not contain added wording intended to modify or amend the wording in the OWNER’s Bid Form, or the provisions of the Contract Documents, including the plans, specifications, or Special Conditions. All bid items, bid amounts (unit prices and extended totals), subtotals, and total bid must be submitted, and the risk of error, omission, or failure to include each in accordance with the OWNER’s final published Bid Form shall be borne solely by the BIDDER; and in the event the electronic bid form is not provided in accordance with the OWNER’s final published Bid Form, the bid shall be declared non-responsive.

The BIDDER shall provide the following disclaimer on the electronic bid form; otherwise, the bid will be considered non-responsive and rejected:

(Company name) certifies that the Bid Item Number, Specification Item, Name of Pay Item, Estimated Quantity, Unit, Unit Price Bid, and Amount Bid shown on this electronic bid form for all of the bid items contained in this Bid Form are consistent with the Bid Form provided herein, and that its bid will be tabulated using these Unit Prices and no other information from this electronic bid form.

The Company further acknowledges and agrees the Total Bid Amount shown will be read as its Total

Bid and further agrees that the official Total Bid Amount will be determined by multiplying the Unit

Prices shown in the electronic bid form by the respective estimated quantities shown in the Bid Form and then totaling all of the extended amounts.

Electronic bids will not be accepted unless accompanied by a hard copy with required signatures and as long as all legal and bid requirements are met.

The OWNER reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any irregularities or formalities. The CONTRACTOR accepts all risks associated with bidding in this manner. It is understood and agreed that the bid may not be withdrawn once the bid-opening process has begun.

14. Provision Concerning Escalator Clauses.

Bids containing any condition which provides for changes in the stated bid prices due to increase or decrease in the costs of materials, labor, or other items required for this project, may be rejected and returned to the BIDDER without being considered.

15. Estimates of Quantities.

The quantities listed in the Bid Form will be considered as approximate and will be used for the comparison of bids. Payments will be made to the CONTRACTOR only for the actual quantities of work performed or materials furnished in accordance with the contract. The quantity of work to be done and the materials may be increased or decreased as provided for in the Contract Documents.

16. Submission of Bids.

Bids will be received by Christi Courson, Cedar Hill Assistant Finance Director and may be submitted to the receptionist in the foyer of City Hall located at 285 Uptown Blvd., Cedar Hill, Texas 75104 until 11:00 AM, local time on AUGUST 5, and then publicly opened and read aloud.

AND GRAVITY OUTFALL SEWER IMPROVEMENTS and the name and address of the BIDDER shall be submitted. If the Bid is sent through the mail or other delivery system, the sealed envelope shall be enclosed in a separate envelope with the notation “BID ENCLOSED: BAGGETT BRANCH LIFT

STATION AND GRAVITY OUTFALL SEWER IMPROVEMENTS”, City of Cedar Hill, on the face of it and addressed to the Purchasing Agent, City of Cedar Hill, 285 Uptown Blvd., Cedar Hill, Texas 75104.

17.2 If, within twenty-four hours after the Bids are opened, any BIDDER files a duly signed written notice with the OWNER and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of OWNER that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of the Bid, that BIDDER may withdraw his bid.

Thereafter, that BIDDER will be disqualified from further bidding on the work.

18. Rejection of Bids.

Bids may be rejected if they show alterations of form, additions not called for, conditional bids, incomplete bids, erasures or irregularities of any kind. The OWNER reserves the right to waive any irregularities in the bids as received and to reject any and all bids without qualification(s). More than one bid from an individual, firm or partnership, corporation or association, under the same or different names, will not be considered.

Reasonable grounds for believing that a BIDDER is interested in more than one such bid may cause the rejection of all bids in which said BIDDER is interested. Bids in which prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected.

19. Bids to Remain Subject to Acceptance.

All Bids will remain subject to acceptance for ninety (90) calendar days after the day of the Bid opening, but the OWNER may, in its sole discretion, release any Bid prior to that date.

20. Award of Contract.

20.1 The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive any and all informalities except for the time of submission of the Bid and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful BIDDER. The OWNER also reserves the right to reject or accept all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids.

Also, the OWNER reserves the right to reject the Bid of any BIDDER if the OWNER believes that it would not be in the best interest of the OWNER to make an award to that BIDDER, whether because the Bid is not responsive or the BIDDER is unqualified, has doubtful financial ability, fails to meet any standard or criteria established by the OWNER, or if in the OWNERs sole opinion the services of the BIDDER would not be the best value to the OWNER regardless of the bid amount. Discrepancies in the multiplication of units of Work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.

20.2 In evaluating Bids, the OWNER will consider the qualifications of the BIDDERs, whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such alternates, unit prices, completion time, and other data, as may be requested in the Bid form or prior to the Notice of Award.

20.3 The OWNER may consider the qualifications and experience of any Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other persons or organizations proposed for those portions of the Work as to which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations must be submitted as requested by the OWNER. The OWNER also may consider the operating costs, maintenance requirements, performance data and guarantees of major items of materials and equipment proposed for incorporation in the Work when such data is required to be submitted prior to the Notice of Award.

20.4 The OWNER may consider its past experience with the BIDDER and any Subcontractors, Suppliers or other persons or organizations proposed to perform any portions of the Work, and the OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all bids from persons or organizations with whom the OWNER has previously experienced problems including but not limited to issues relating to performance, workmanship, and disputes or litigation.

20.5 The OWNER may conduct such investigations as the OWNER deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial stability of BIDDERs, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations to perform and furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to the OWNER's satisfaction within the prescribed time.

20.6 If contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest and best qualified BIDDER whose evaluation by the OWNER indicates that the award will be in the best interests of the OWNER, be the best value to the OWNER, and subject to the provisions of Section 20.1 above.

20.7 If the contract is to be awarded, the OWNER will give the Successful BIDDER a Notice of Award within ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the Bid opening.

21. Execution of Agreement.

Within ten (10) business days after written Notification of Award of the contract, the Successful BIDDER shall execute and furnish to the OWNER four (4) original signed Standard Form of Agreement and contract documents including Addenda, completed Certificate of Insurance, Payment, Performance, and Maintenance Bonds. A conformed contract document and authorized set of construction plans will be issued to the CONTRACTOR from the OWNER for use at the Construction site. Only a complete set of authorized plans and contract documents are to be on site and considered valid.

22. Affidavit of Bills Paid.

Prior to, and as a condition for, final acceptance of this project by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall execute an affidavit that all bills for labor, materials, and incidentals incurred in the project construction have been paid in full, and that there are no claims pending.

23. Bid Compliance.

Bid must comply with all Federal, State, County and local laws.

24. Notice to Proceed.

Upon execution of the Contract, the OWNER will issue a written Notice to Proceed to the CONTRACTOR requesting that he proceed with the construction. The CONTRACTOR shall commence work within ten (10) calendar days after the date of Notice to Proceed.

The CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, consumer, use, and similar taxes required to be paid by the CONTRACTOR in accordance with the laws and regulations of the State.

26. Silence of Specification.

The apparent silence of these specifications as to any detail or to the apparent omission from it of a detailed description concerning any point shall be regarded as meaning that only the best commercial practices are to prevail. All interpretations of these specifications shall be made on the basis of this statement by OWNER or their authorized representative.
