SECTION 0100

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

DEFINED TERMS - Terms used in these Instructions to Bidders and the Invitation to Bid are defined in the

General Conditions. The term "Bidder" means one who submits a Bid directly to the Owner, as distinguished from a sub-bidder, who submits a Bid to a Bidder.

1. COMPETENCY OF BIDDERS –

1.1. In selecting the lowest, responsive, responsible Bidder, consideration will be given to:

1.1.1. the financial standing and ability of the Bidder to satisfactorily complete the job being bid;

1.1.2. the competence, judgment, skill, ability and capacity of the Bidder to perform the work in accordance with the terms and conditions of the specification;

1.1.3. the past experience of the municipality with the Bidder and the experience of the Bidder with other governmental entities.

1.2. In determining the best value for the municipality, the municipality may consider:

1.2.1 the purchase price;

1.2.2. the reputation of the bidder and of the bidder’s goods or services;

1.2.3. the quality of the bidder’s goods or services;

1.2.4 the extent to which the goods or services meet the municipality’s needs;

1.2.5. the bidder’s past relationship with the municipality;

1.2.6. the impact on the ability of the municipality to comply with laws and rules relating to contracting with historically underutilized businesses and nonprofit organizations employing persons with disabilities;

1.2.7. the total long-term cost to the municipality to acquire the bidder’s goods or services; and

1.2.8. any relevant criteria specifically listed in the request for bids or proposals.

2. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS - More than one Bid from an individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or association under the same or different names will not be considered. If the Owner believes that any Bidder is interested in more than one Bid for the Work contemplated, all Bids in which such Bidder is interested will be rejected. If the Owner believes that any collusion exists among the Bidders, all Bids will be rejected.

3. BIDDER'S EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND THE SITE

(a) It is the responsibility of each Bidder before submitting a Bid to examine the Contract Documents thoroughly; visit the site to become familiar with local conditions that may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work; consider federal, state, and local laws and regulations that may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work; study and carefully correlate the Bidder's observations with the Contract Documents; and notify the Engineer of any and all conflicts, errors, or discrepancies found in the Contract Documents.

(b) Reference is made to the Supplementary General Conditions for identification of those reports of explorations and tests of subsurface conditions at the site which have been utilized by the Engineer in the preparation of the Contract Documents. The Bidder may rely upon the accuracy of the technical data contained in such reports; however, the interpretation of such technical data, including any interpolation or extrapolation thereof, together with non-technical data, interpretations, and opinions contained therein or the completeness thereof is the responsibility of the Bidder.

(c) Copies of such reports and drawings will be made available for review by the Owner to any Bidder upon request if said reports and drawings are not bound herein. Those reports and drawings are not part of the Contract Documents, but the technical data contained therein upon which the Bidder is entitled to rely, as provided in the Supplementary General Conditions are incorporated therein by reference.

(d) Information and data reflected in the Contract Documents with respect to underground utilities at, or contiguous to, the site is based upon information and data furnished to the Owner and the Engineer by the owners of such underground utilities or others, and the Owner does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof unless it is expressly provided otherwise in the

Supplementary General Conditions or the Section entitled "Protection of Existing Facilities" of the technical specifications.

(e) Provisions concerning responsibilities for the adequacy of data furnished to prospective Bidders on subsurface conditions, underground utilities and/or other physical conditions, and possible changes in the Contract Documents due to differing conditions appear in Article 4.2 of the General Conditions, (Physical Conditions).

(f) Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder will, at Bidder's own expense, make or obtain any additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests, and studies and obtain any additional information and data which pertain to the physical conditions (surface, subsurface, and underground utilities) at, or contiguous to, the site or otherwise which may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work and which the Bidder deems necessary to determine its Bid for performing the Work in accordance with the time, price, and other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.

(g) On request, in advance, the Owner will provide each Bidder access to the site to conduct such explorations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submission of a Bid. The Bidder shall fill all holes and shall clean up and restore the site to its former condition upon completion of such exploration and tests.

(h) The lands upon which the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way and easements for access thereto, and other lands designated for use by the Contractor in performing the Work are identified in the

Contract Documents. All additional lands and access thereto required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and equipment are to be provided by the Contractor. Easement for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing structures is to be obtained and paid for by the

Owner unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.

(i) The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by the Bidder that the

Bidder has complied with every requirement of Item #3 General Conditions, herein, entitled:

"Bidder's Examination of Contract Documents and the Site," that without exception the Bid is premised upon performing the Work required by the Contract Documents and such means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction as may be indicated in or required by the

Contract Documents, and that the Contract Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all the terms and conditions for performance of the Work.

4. INTERPRETATIONS - All questions about the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents are to be directed to the Engineer. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by the Engineer in response to such questions will be resolved by the issuance of Addenda mailed or delivered to all parties recorded by the Engineer or Owner as having received the Contract Documents. Questions must be received six (6) days prior to the date of opening Bids no exceptions. Only questions that have been resolved by formal written Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect.

5. BID SECURITY, BONDS, AND INSURANCE - Each Bid shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check or approved Bond in the amount stated in the Invitation to Bid. Said check or bond or letter of credit shall be made payable to the Owner and shall be given as a guarantee that the Bidder, if awarded the Work, will enter into an Agreement with the Owner, and will furnish the necessary insurance certificates, Payment Bond, and Performance Bond within fourteen (14) days; each of said bonds to be in the amount stated in the Supplementary General Conditions. In case of refusal or failure to enter into said Agreement, the check or Bid Bond, as the case may be, shall be forfeited to the Owner. If the Bidder elects to furnish a

Bid Bond as its security, the Bidder shall use the Bid Bond form bound herein, or one conforming substantially to it in form. Builders Risk Insurance is not applicable and not required for this project.

6. RETURN OF BID SECURITY - Within 14 calendar days after award of the contract, the Owner will return all bid securities accompanying each of the Bids that are not considered in making the award. All other Bid securities will be held until the Agreement has been finally executed. They will then be returned to the respective Bidders whose Bids they accompany if not accepted for Contract agreement.

7. BID FORM – The bid schedule shall be completed and submitted through IONWAVE with your bid submittal.

8. SUBMISSION OF BIDS - ATTENTION! E-BIDS WILL BE THE ONLY OPTION TO SUBMIT

BIDS EFFECTIVE 8/1/2023. Bids will not be accepted by hard copy in person, or by mail, courier, or fax after 8/1/2023.

A valid copy of the Bid Bond with a visible seal shall be submitted electronically along with the bid by the time stipulated in the Invitation to Bid. After the Bid Opening and upon request by the Owner, the original

Bid Bond or Security shall be submitted in a sealed envelope and shall be plainly marked in the upper left-hand corner with the name and address of the Bidder and shall bear the words "BID FOR," followed by the title of the Contract Documents for the Work, and the date and hour of opening of bids as indicated in the

Invitation to Bid. The envelope enclosing the sealed original Bid Bond or Security shall be addressed to the City of Beaumont Water Utilities Department and shall be hand delivered or mailed to 1350 Langham

Road, Beaumont, Texas 77707 before a recommendation for award shall be made.

9. IDENTIFICATION OF UNIT PRICES - All lump sum and unit prices must be stated in both printed words and figures. The Owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality in bids received. Bids will be compared on the basis of the Engineer's estimate of the quantities of the various items of Work as shown on the Bid Schedule(s). Only such plans, specifications, and items of Work as are appropriate shall apply to the Work bid on.

10. DISCREPANCIES IN BIDS - In the event that there is more than one Bid Item in the Bid Schedule, the

Bidder shall furnish a price for all Bid Items in the schedule, and failure to do so will render the Bid as non-responsive and may cause its rejection. Subtotal prices must be shown on the Bid Summary and total contract price must be shown in both words and figures. In the event of a discrepancy between the written and number amounts, the number will prevail.

11. QUANTITIES OF WORK - The quantities of work or material stated in unit price items of the Bid are supplied only to give an indication of the general scope of the Work; the Owner does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work or material will correspond therewith, and reserves the right after award to increase or decrease the quantity of any unit price item of the Work by an amount up to and including 20 percent of any Bid Item, without a change in the unit price, and shall include the right to delete any Bid Item in its entirety, or to add additional Bid Items up to and including an aggregate total amount not to exceed 20 percent of the Contract Price, without formal, authorized Change Order to the

Contract.

12. WITHDRAWAL OF BID - The Bid may be withdrawn by the Bidder by means of a written request, signed by the Bidder or its properly authorized representative. Such written request must be delivered to the place stipulated in the Invitation to Bid prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of Bids.

13. MODIFICATIONS AND UNAUTHORIZED ALTERNATIVE BIDS - Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to the Bid will render it informal and may cause its rejection as being non-responsive. The completed Bid forms shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures.

Alternative Bids will not be considered unless expressly called for and if supplied, without request, will be considered as additional bids and will be judged non-responsive and therefore rejected. Oral, telegraphic, facsimile or telephone Bids or modifications will not be considered.

14. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - Provisions for liquidated damages, if any, are set forth in the Agreement.

15. SUBSTITUTE OR "OR-EQUAL" ITEMS - The Work, if awarded, will be on the basis of materials and equipment described in the Drawings or specified in the Technical Specifications without consideration of possible substitute or "or-equal" items. Whenever it is indicated in the Drawings or specified in the

Technical Specifications that a substitute or "or-equal" item of material or equipment may be furnished or used by the Contractor if acceptable to the Engineer, application for such acceptance will not be considered by the Engineer until after the Effective Date of the Agreement. The procedure for submittal of any such application by the Contractor and consideration by the Engineer is set forth in Section entitled: "Contractor

Submittals" of the Technical Specifications.

16. AWARD OF CONTRACT - Award of Contract, if awarded, may be awarded either to the lowest responsible Bidder or to the bidder who provides goods or services at the best value for the municipality, and will be made to a responsible, responsive Bidder whose Bid complies with all the requirements prescribed. Unless otherwise indicated, a single award will not be made for less than all the Bid Items of an individual Bid Schedule. In the event the Work is identified in more than one Bid Schedule, the Owner may award schedules individually or in combination. In the case of 2 or more Bid Schedules which are alternative to each other, only one of such alternative schedules will be awarded. The City may reject any and all bids.

17. EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT - The Bidder to whom award is made shall execute a written Agreement with the Owner on the form provided, shall secure all insurance documents specified, and shall furnish all certificates and bonds required by the Contract Documents within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the Agreement forms from the Owner. Failure or refusal to enter into an Agreement as herein provided or to conform to any of the stipulated requirements in connection therewith shall be just cause for an annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Bid Security. If the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the Owner may award the Contract to the second lowest responsive, responsible

Bidder. If the second lowest responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the

Owner may award the Contract to the third lowest responsive, responsible Bidder. On the failure or refusal of such second or third lowest Bidder to execute the Agreement, each such Bidder's Bid Securities shall be likewise forfeited to the Owner. Upon failure or refusal of any Bidder to execute the agreement when notified of award, the owner may at its option, reject all bids and call for total or partial rebidding of the project.

18. WORKER'S COMPENSATION REQUIREMENT - The Bidder should be aware that in accordance with laws of the State of Texas, the Bidder will, if awarded the Contract, be required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees and execute the Worker's Compensation Certification.
