1.3 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
The 'Drawings', 'Invitation to Bid', 'Information for Bidders', Forms for 'Bid', 'Agreement' and
'Bonds', 'General Conditions' and 'Technical and Materials Specifications' become the contract documents
and may be obtained on the Town's website, www.greenwichct.gov/bids.

1.4 NON-REFUNDABLE FEE FOR DRAWINGS AND DOCUMENTS.
Drawings and specifications will be posted to the Town's website and may be downloaded at no
cost. Drawings taken from the Town's website and printed on the bidder's equipment may not be to scale.
1.5 QUESTIONS REGARDING DRAWINGS AND DOCUMENTS.
In general, no answer will be given to prospective bidders in reply to an oral question if the
question involves an interpretation of the intent or meaning of the drawings or other contract documents or
the equality or use of products or methods other than those designated or described on the drawings or in
the specifications. Any information given to bidders other than by means of the drawings and other
contract documents, including addenda, as described below, is given informally, for information and the
convenience of the bidder only, and is not guaranteed. The bidder agrees that such information shall not
be used as the basis of nor shall the giving of any such information entitle the bidder to assess any claim or
demand against the Town or the Engineer on account thereof.
To receive consideration, such questions shall be submitted in writing to the Project Engineer,
Lindsay Silcox of CDM Smith Inc., 101 East River Drive, Suite 1A, East Hartford CT 06108 or by email
to SilcoxLS@cdmsmith.com at least seven (7) business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays) before the established date for receipt of Bids. If the questions involve the acceptability or
use of any unspecified products or methods, it must be accompanied by drawings, specifications or other
data in sufficient detail to enable the Engineer to determine the acceptability, equality and suitability of the
unspecified product or method. In general, the Engineer will neither approve nor disapprove particular
products prior to the opening of Bids; such products will be considered when offered by the Contractor for
incorporation into the work.
The Engineer will set forth as addenda, which shall become a part of the contract documents, such
questions received as above provided as in their sole judgment are appropriate or necessary and their
decision regarding each. It is the responsibility of the prospective bidder to check the Town's website
(www.greenwichct.gov/bids) for any addenda issued up to 48 hours prior to the bid opening.
The Contractor agrees to use the products and methods designated or described in the
specifications as amended by the addenda. Any addenda issued shall take precedence over drawings or
specifications.
Where there is a conflict between specifications and drawings, the higher standard shall prevail.
1.6 BIDDERS TO INVESTIGATE.
Bidders are required to submit their bids upon the following express conditions which shall apply
to and be deemed a part of every bid received.
Bidders must satisfy themselves by personal examination of the site of the work and by such other
means as they may wish, as to the actual conditions there existing, the character and requirements of the
work, the difficulties attendant upon its execution, and the accuracy of all estimated quantities stated in the
Bid.
Any subsurface information furnished is based on an interpretation made at specific locations as
indicated and no assurance is given that these conditions are necessarily typical of other locations or that
they have remained unchanged since the field data were obtained. Further, no assurance is given that the
presence or absence of water and other subsurface conditions at the time of these explorations will be
representative of actual conditions at the time of construction. The Contractor shall be solely responsible
for any assumptions, deductions, or conclusions they may make or which may be derived from their
examination of any available subsurface information.

1.7 INFORMATION NOT GUARANTEED.
All information given on the drawings or in the other contract documents relating to subsurface
and other conditions, natural phenomena, existing pipes and other structures is furnished only for the
information and convenience of bidders and is not guaranteed.
It is agreed and understood that the Town does not warrant guarantee that the subsurface or other
conditions, natural phenomena, existing pipes or other structures encountered during construction will be
the same as those indicated on the drawings or in the other contract documents and the bidder or
Contractor shall assume all risk with respect to such conditions.
It is agreed further and understood that no bidder or Contractor shall use or be entitled to use any of
the information made available to them or obtained in any examination made by them in any manner as a
basis of or ground for, any claim or demand against the Town or the Engineer, arising from or by reason of
any variance which may exist between the information made available and the actual subsurface or other
conditions, natural phenomena, existing pipes or other structures actually encountered during the
construction work.
The Contractor shall dig test pits, contact appropriate parties, or do any other necessary work, and
at their own expense, to locate subsurface and other structures both shown and not shown on the drawings,
in advance to performing work near the structure.
1.8 BLANK FORM FOR BID.
All bids must be upon the blank form for "Bid Sheet", which is given in Section 2, and must state
the proposed price of each item of the work, both in words and in figures, and be signed by the bidder with
their business address and place of residence.
1.9 TIME LIMITS AND TIME CHARGE.
The Contractors shall commence with the work within ten (10) business days after receipt of
'Notice to Proceed' from the Town.
Time is of the essence of this contract and as prosecution of the work will inconvenience property
owners, vehicular traffic, and pedestrians and adversely affect business in the area, it is essential that the
work be pressed vigorously to completion. Also, the cost to the Town of administration of the contract,
including engineering, inspection and supervision of construction, will be increased or decreased as the
time occupied in the work is lengthened or shortened and the deprivation to the residents of the Town of
the needed improvement herein contracted for will cause damages to the Town, the exact amount of which
will be difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in order to avoid the uncertainties and time consuming effort
involved, it is hereby estimated that the reasonably probable, foreseeable damages which will arise in the
event of the Contractor's delay are hereby expressed in terms of a time charge which will be made against
the Contractor, and dates for completion, suspension and/or commencement of work will be established in
accordance with the following provisions.
A time charge of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per day will be made against the
Contractor for each and every day (Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays excluded) that the work is in
progress beyond two hundred seventy (270) calendar days (no days excluded) after the Contractor has
been notified to commence with the work. The amount of time charge will be deducted from the monthly
and final payments due the Contractor as these are made. This time charge will continue, except as
provided below, until the work is completed and accepted, but not including retainer, maintenance or
repair period, if any. The Engineer's decision concerning whether the work has been completed shall be
final, as provided in Article 4.4 of this contract.
Each bidder should include in their estimate of the cost of the work, a sum equal to the amount
derived by multiplying said time charge by the number of days which they estimate the time charge will

apply. This sum shall not appear as a separate item of the bid, but shall be distributed among the various
items on which prices are asked on the bid sheet. The time charge will be suspended during the period of
any delay that may be caused by the Town, either through change of plan or through ordering suspension
of the work for any reason other than failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with the
specifications, said suspension must be certified by engineer.
If any delay is caused to the Contractor by specific orders of the Engineer to stop the work (for
reasons other than failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the contract
documents), such delay will entitle the Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, and the suspension of
the time charge only during such an extension of time. When extra or additional work is ordered by the
Engineer, the Contractor will be allowed a suspension of the time charge expressed in days and derived by
dividing the cost of such additional work by the time charge factor.
The time charge factor is that number derived by dividing the total amount of the contract on
which the award is made by the number of days between date work is started and date of completion and
acceptance of the repair and alteration, etc., deducting Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.
1.10 WITHDRAWAL OF BID.
Except as hereinafter in this article otherwise expressly provided, once their bid is submitted and
received by the Town for consideration and comparison with other bids similarly submitted, the Bidder
agrees that they may not and will not withdraw it within sixty (60) consecutive calendar days after the
actual date of opening of Bids.
Upon proper written request and identification, Bids may be withdrawn only as follows
1. At any time prior to the designated time for the opening of bids
2. Provided the bid has not theretofore been accepted by the Town, at any time subsequent to the
expiration if the period during which the bidder has agreed not to withdraw their bid.
Unless a bid is withdrawn as provided above, the Bidder agrees that it shall be deemed open for
acceptance until the 'agreement' has been executed by both parties thereto or until Town notifies a Bidder
in writing that their bid is rejected or that the Town does not intend to accept it, or returns their bid
deposit. Notice of acceptance of a bid shall not constitute rejection of any other bid.
1.11 CONTRACT BONDS.
The Bidder whose bid is accepted agrees to furnish the 'contract bonds' in the forms which follow
in Section 5, entitled 'Contract Bonds', each in the sum of the full amount of the bid, including allowance
for contingencies and extra work, and/or contract price as determined by the Engineer, and duly executed
and acknowledged by the said Bidder as principle and by a surety company qualified to do business under
the laws of the State of Connecticut and satisfactory to the Town, as surety, for the faithful performance of
the contract and payment for labor and materials. The premiums for such bonds shall be paid by the
Contractor. The 'Contract Bond' is only required for contracts exceeding $100,000.
For contracts that require a Performance, Maintenance and Payment Bond, the contractor shall
maintain all of the specified required insurance coverage and continue to document the specified required
insurance coverage for one (1) year after completion of the work of the contract (or other such time as the
contractor or other agreement requires).
The Bidder must provide a letter from the bonding company stating that their company is able to
receive performance bonding within one weeks' time after receipt of award on the Town of Greenwich
Performance, Maintenance and Payment Bond Form (enclosed herein) for this project in the total amount
of the bid. The letter must be on the bonding company's letterhead with their name address and telephone
number and must be submitted with the bid.

1.12 ABILITY AND EXPERIENCE OF BIDDER.
No award will be made to any Bidder who cannot satisfy the Town that they have sufficient ability
and experience in this class of work and sufficient capital and plant to enable them to prosecute and
complete the work successfully within the time named, or, where such time is not named, within
reasonable period of time as is determined by the Engineer. The Town's decision or judgment on these
matters shall be final, conclusive and binding.
The Town may make such investigations as it deems necessary, and the Bidder shall furnish to the
Town, under oath if so required, all such information and data for this purpose as the Town may request.
The ability of any Bidder to obtain a performance bond will not be regarded as the sole test of such
Bidder's competency or responsibility.
1.13 BIDS.
The Town may reject bids which in its sole judgment are either incomplete, conditional, obscure or
not responsive or which contain additions not called for, erasures not properly initialed, alterations or
similar irregularities, or the Town may waive such omissions, conditions or irregularities.
1.14 RIGHT TO REJECT OR ACCEPT BIDS.
The Town reserves the right to reject any or all bids with or without reason, or to accept any bid
even if it is not the low bid, should the Town deem it to be in the public interest or the interest of the Town
to do so. The Town's decision on the qualifications of any bid and/or its decision to accept any bid, or
reject any or all bids shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Bidders.
1.15 RIGHT TO ALTER FORM, QUANTITY, OF WORK.
The Town further reserves the right to make alterations in the lines, grade, plan, form and quantity
of the work herein contemplated, either before award of contract to the successful Bidder and/or before or
after the commencement of the work because of priority restrictions, insufficient funds in appropriations,
or other cause. If such alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute a
claim for damage or for anticipated profits on the work dispensed with, or affect the prices bid for the
various classes of work remaining. If they increase the amount of work, such increase shall be paid for
according to the quantity actually done and at the price or prices bid for the various classes of work, or if
not susceptible of classification, the price or prices shall be agreed upon in writing in advance, and in case
of failure to so agree, the Contractor shall do the work as aforesaid as extra work.
1.16 EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT.
The Bidder whose bid is accepted will be required and agrees to duly execute the 'agreement' and
furnish the required contract bonds and insurance certificates within ten (10) days after award of the
contract.
1.17 INSURANCE CERTIFICATES.
The Bidder is required to submit with their bid a signed 'Insurance Procedure Form', enclosed
herein. By signing this form, the Bidder acknowledges that they will provide the insurance coverage
required for the contemplated work at no additional charge to the Town of Greenwich.
The Contractor will not be permitted to start any construction work until they have submitted
certificates covering all insurance and in such form called for under that article of the 'agreement', titled
'Insurance', and has obtained approval in writing of such certificates from the Town.
