INFORMATION TO BIDDERS
All proposals must be made on the forms contained herein and the bid price must be written
therein, in figures only. In all items, bids must be made separately on labor and material and the
total price for each unit shall be the "Total (sum of labor and material)". In the event of conflict,
the "Total" of the unit price or lump sum bid shall govern. Each bidder must bid on all items,
alternates, deductions and additions contained in the bidding forms. All proposals not in
conformity with this notice may be considered informal and may be rejected.
Potential bidders are required to register with the Office of the Coshocton County Engineer.
Registration is complimentary and will ensure bidders receive any addendum and pertinent
material. Each bidder is required to state in his proposal his name, place of residence and the
names of all persons interested with him. In case of a corporation, the names of other than the
president and secretary need not be given. References shall be furnished to establish the skill
and business standing of the bidder.
The bidder must complete and submit all bidding forms as noted in the Table of Contents of
these Contract Documents. Failure to complete the forms and submit the same at the bid
opening may result in a non-responsive bid.
If any person contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed contract is in doubt as to the true
meaning of any part of the plans, specifications, or other proposed contract documents, he may
submit to the Engineer a written request for an interpretation thereof. The person submitting the
request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any interpretation of the proposed
documents will be made only by addendum duly issued and a copy of such addendum will be
mailed or delivered electronically to each person receiving a set of such documents. The
awarding authority will not be responsible for any other explanations or interpretations of the
proposed documents. If there is a conflict between the detailed plans and specifications, the
detailed plans shall prevail.
The bidder is required to examine carefully the site of the work, the proposal, plans and
specifications, and to read and acquaint himself with the contract form for the work
contemplated. The bidder, in submitting a proposal, warrants that he has investigated and is
acquainted with the conditions to be encountered for performing the work including the
character, quality and quantities of work to be performed and materials to be furnished, the
prevailing hourly wage rates for the area in which the project is located and the requirements of
the contract documents hereinafter defined. It is mutually agreed that submission of a proposal
shall be considered prima facie evidence that the bidder has made such examination and is
satisfied as to all conditions which will affect the work.
The quantities listed in the proposal form are to be considered as approximate and are to be used
only for the comparison of the bids and as basis for computing amounts of security or penal sums
of bonds to be furnished. The unit prices to be tendered by the bidders are to be tendered
expressly for the scheduled quantities as they may be increased or decreased. Payments, except
for lump sum contracts, will be made to the Contractor for the actual quantities only of work

performed or materials furnished in accordance with the plans and specifications, and it is
understood that the scheduled quantities of work to be done and materials to be furnished may be
increased or decreased without in any way invalidating the unit bid price.
The successful bidder will be required to execute the contract within fifteen (15) days after the
award of the work to him and shall furnish bond for the faithful performance of said contract in
the sum of 100 percent of the total amount of his bid.
The contract bond shall be in the form attached to the specifications with an approved surety
company as surety. In case of failure to execute the contract as stated or to furnish performance
bond, the bidder will be considered to have abandoned the contract and the bond or check
accompanying the proposal shall be forfeited to the Owner, not as penalty but as liquidated
damages. The Coshocton County Commissioners must approve the sureties. The contract shall
be awarded to the lowest and best bidder. Following the bid opening, the Owner shall determine
the items, alternates and additions to be performed. Total bids will be calculated by adding the
amounts bid by each bidder for such items, alternates and additions, less the deductions, so
selected by the Owner in determining the lowest and best bid. The Owner reserves the right to
reject any and all bids.
The successful bidder will be further required to furnish the Owner with a complete breakdown
of the lump sum bid items, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, before signing the contract
documents.
In determining the award, consideration will be given to (A) whether bidder maintains a
permanent place of business, (B) suitability of the bidder's plant and equipment for the work,
(C) bidder's financial status and organizations, (D) bidder's record of experience in constructing
improvements of this type, (E) lowest and best bidder.
Check bid deposits of any bidders except the three lowest and best bidders will be returned
within ten (10) days after opening bids. The bid deposit of the three lowest and best bidders will
be returned within 48 hours after the executed contract and required bonds have been approved
by the Owner.
