INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS
1. Receipt and Opening of Bids
City of Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia (herein called the "Owner"), invites Bids on the form
attached hereto, all blanks of which must be appropriately filled in. Bids will be
received by the Owner at the location and time noted in the Advertisement for Bids.
The Owner may consider informal any Bid not prepared and submitted in accordance
with the provisions hereof and may waive any informalities or reject any and all Bids.
Any Bid may be withdrawn prior to the above scheduled time for the opening of Bids
or authorized postponement thereof. Any Bid received after the time and date
specified shall not be considered. No Bidder may withdraw a Bid within 60 days after
the actual date of the opening thereof.
2. Preparation of Bid
Each Bid shall be submitted on the Bid forms bound in the Contract Documents. All
blank spaces for Bid prices must be filled in, in ink or typewritten. All computations
will be checked; and in the event of a discrepancy, the unit price will govern. All
required enclosed certifications must be fully completed and executed when
submitted.
Each Bid must be submitted in a sealed envelope, addressed to the Owner. Each
sealed envelope containing a Bid must be plainly marked on the outside as, "Bid for
Courts Renovation."
If forwarded by mail, the sealed envelope containing the Bid must be enclosed in
another envelope addressed to the Owner at City of Fort Oglethorpe, P.O. Box 5509,
500 City Hall Drive, Fort Oglethorpe, GA 30742, Attention: Phil Minton, Finance

The Bidder is specifically advised that any person, firm, or other party to whom it is
proposed to award a subcontract under this Contract must be acceptable to the
Owner and funding agencies.
4. Electronic Modifications
Any Bidder may modify his Bid by electronic communication at any time prior to the
scheduled closing time for receipt of Bids, provided such electronic communication is

satisfied that a written confirmation of the electronic modification over the signature of
the Bidder was mailed prior to the closing time. Electronic communication should not
reveal the Bid price but should provide the addition or subtraction or other
modification so that the final prices or terms will not be known by the Owner until the
sealed Bid is opened. If written confirmation is not received within two days from the
closing time, no consideration will be given to the electronic modification.

M-Ft. Oglethorpe\ Courts Renovation 06/15/26

5. Overhead, Profit, and Revision of Quantities
The unit or lump sum price for each of the several items in the proposal of each
Bidder shall include its pro rata share of overhead and profit so that the sum of the
products obtained by multiplying the quantity shown for each item by the unit price
represents the total Bid. Any Bid not conforming to this requirement may be rejected
as informal. The special attention of all Bidders is called to this provision, for should
conditions make it necessary to revise the quantities, no limit will be fixed for such
increased or decreased quantities nor extra compensation allowed, provided the net
monetary value of all such addition or subtraction in quantities of such items of work
(i.e., difference in cost) shall not increase or decrease the total original contract price
by more than 25 percent, except for work not covered in the Drawings and Detailed
Specifications as provided for under General Conditions and Supplemental General
Conditions.
6. Qualifications of Bidder
The Owner may make such investigations as deemed necessary to determine the
ability of the Bidder to perform the work, and the Bidder shall furnish to the Owner all
such information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner
reserves the right to reject any Bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of,
such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such Bidder is properly qualified to carry
out the obligations of the Contract and to complete the work contemplated therein.
Conditional Bids will not be accepted.
A Bidder must purchase a set of Contract Documents (including Bidding
Requirements and Documents), Specifications, and Drawings through the Engineer in
order to be considered a qualified bidder. Addenda will only be sent to those who
have purchased documents and are on the list of planholders maintained by CTI
Engineers, Inc.
7. Bid Security
Each Bid must be accompanied by a cashier's check on a duly authorized bank,
certified check of the Bidder, or a bid bond prepared on the form of bid bond attached
hereto, duly executed by the Bidder as principal and having as security thereon a
surety company listed in the latest issue of U.S. Treasury Circular 570, in the amount
of 5 percent of the Bid. Certified checks or cashier's checks shall be made payable to
the Owner. Such checks or bid bonds will be returned to all except the three lowest
Bidders within three days after the opening of Bids; the remaining checks or bid bonds
will be returned promptly after the Owner and the accepted Bidder have executed the
contract, or, if no award has been made within 60 days after the date of the opening
of Bids, upon demand of the Bidder at any time thereafter, so long as he has not been
notified of the acceptance of his Bid.
8. Liquidated Damages for Failure to Enter into Contract
The successful Bidder, upon his failure or refusal to execute and deliver the Contract
and bonds required within 10 days after he has received notice of the acceptance of
his Bid, shall forfeit to the Owner, as liquidated damages for such failure or refusal,
the security deposited with his Bid.

Bidder must agree to commence work on or before a date to be specified in a written
Notice to Proceed of the Owner and to fully complete the Project within 210
consecutive calendar days thereafter. Bidder must agree also to pay as liquidated
damages the sum of $500 for each consecutive calendar day in default as hereinafter
provided in the General Conditions.
10. Conditions of Work
Each Bidder must inform himself fully of the conditions relating to the construction of
the Project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not relieve a
successful Bidder of his obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry
out the provision of his Contract. Insofar as possible the Contractor, in carrying out
his work, must employ such methods or means as will not cause any interruption of or
interference with the work of any other Contractor.
11. Addenda and Interpretations
No interpretation of the meaning of the Drawings, Specifications, or other prebid
documents will be made to any Bidder orally.
Every request for such interpretation should be in writing addressed
pschofield@ctiengr.com or Philip Schofield, P.E., Project Manager, CTI Engineers,
Inc., at 1122 Riverfront Parkway, Chattanooga, TN 37402, and to be given
consideration must be received at least five days prior to the date fixed for the
opening of Bids. Any and all such interpretations and any supplemental instructions
will be in the form of written addenda to the Specifications which, if issued, will be
mailed and transmitted by facsimile to all prospective Bidders (at the respective
addresses and electronic number furnished for such purposes), not later than three
days prior to the date fixed for the opening of Bids. Failure of any Bidder to receive
any such addendum or interpretation shall not relieve such Bidder from any obligation
under his Bid as submitted. All addenda so issued shall become a part of the
Contract Documents.
12. Security for Faithful Performance
Simultaneously with his delivery of the executed Contract, the Contractor shall furnish
a surety bond or bonds as security for faithful performance of this Contract and for the
payment of all persons performing labor on the Project under this Contract and
furnishing materials in connection with this Contract, as specified in the General
Conditions included herein. Surety companies executing bonds must appear on the
Treasury Department's most current list (Circular 570 as amended) and be authorized
to transact business in the state where the project is located.
13. Power of Attorney
Attorney-in-fact who sign bid bonds or contract bonds must file with each bond a
certified and effectively dated copy of their power of attorney.

Specifications which deal with the following:

c. Wage rates (if applicable)
d. Surveys, permits, and regulations
The federal regulations enclosed or herein referred to supersede all conflicting

15. Laws and Regulations

ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over
construction of the Project shall apply to the Contract throughout, and they will be
deemed to be included in the Contract the same as though herein written out in full.
16. Obligation of Bidder
At the time of the opening of Bids, each Bidder will be presumed to have inspected
the site and to have read and to be thoroughly familiar with the Drawings and Contract
Documents (including all addenda). The failure or omission of any Bidder to examine
any form, instrument, or document shall in no way relieve any Bidder from any
obligation in respect of his Bid.
17. Execution of Bid Documents

conform to the following requirements:
a. Bids which are not signed by individuals making them shall have attached thereto
a power of attorney evidencing authority to sign the Bid in the name of the person
for whom it is signed.
b. Bids which are signed for a partnership shall be signed by all of the partners or by
an attorney-in-fact. If a Bid is signed by an attorney-in-fact, there should be
attached to the Bid a power of attorney executed by the partners evidencing
authority to sign the Bid.
c. Bids which are signed for a corporation shall have the correct corporate name
thereof and the signature of the President or other authorized officer of the
corporation manually written below the corporate name following the wording "By
______________." Corporation seal shall also be affixed to the Bid.

The Contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible Bidder submitting the
lowest Bid complying with the conditions of the Information for Bidders. Award will be

at the discretion of the Owner. The Bidder to whom the award is made will be notified
