IN THE CITY OF DELANO
PROJECT NO.: 2025-WTR_003
DATE _________________________
NAME OF BIDDER
CONTRACTOR LICENSE NO.
TO THE CITY OF DELANO:
Pursuant to and in compliance with your Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals (Bids) and the other
documents relating thereto, the undersigned bidder, being fully familiar with the terms of the
Contract Documents, local conditions affecting the performance of the contract, the character,
quality, quantities, and scope of the work, and the cost of the work at the place where the work is
to be done, hereby proposes and agrees to perform within the time stipulated in the contract,
including all of its component parts and everything required to be performed, and to furnish any
and all of the labor, material, tools, equipment, transportation, services, permits, utilities, and all
other items necessary to perform the contract and complete in a workmanlike manner, all of the
work required in connection with the construction of said work all in strict conformity with the plans
and specifications and other contract documents, including Addenda No's. , ,
_ _ , for the prices hereinafter set forth.
Submittal of this bid shall be considered evidence that the Bidder has satisfied himself regarding
the contract documents, access and any other field conditions which may affect bid prices. If this
proposal is accepted for award, Bidder agrees to enter into a contract with the City of Delano at
the unit and/or lump sum prices set forth in the following Bid Schedule.
The City Council of the City of Delano reserves the right to reject any and all bids, and to waive
any nonmaterial irregularities in any bid.
The work for which this proposal is submitted is for construction in conformance with the general
and special provisions (including the payment of not less than the State general prevailing wage
rates), the project plans described below, including any addenda thereto and the contract attached
hereto.

The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and
for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces
provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item
Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit
price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or
is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth
in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated
quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is
exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one- hundredth, etc. from
the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item
total, whichever most closely approximates percentage wise the unit price or item total in
the City's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the
bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or
otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has
only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance
in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump
sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement.
Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures
are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum
items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs
from the item total, the item total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive
as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any
situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the City, and that
discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City to best protect the public interest in
the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City respecting the amount
of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to enter into the contract or furnish
the two required bonds in the sums required by the State Contract Act, with surety satisfactory to
the City, within 8 days after the bidder has received notice from the City that the contract has been
awarded, not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, the City may determine that the
bidder has abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall
be null and void, and the forfeiture of the security accompanying this proposal shall be the property
of the City.
The undersigned, as bidder, declares that the only persons or parties interested in this proposal
as principals are those named herein; that this proposal is made without collusion with any other
person, firm, or corporation; that the bidder has carefully examined the location of the proposed
work, the attached proposed form of contract, and the plans therein referred to; and the bidder
proposes and agrees if this proposal is accepted, that they will contract with the City in the form
of the contract attached hereto, to provide all necessary machinery, tools, apparatus and other
means of construction, and to do all the work and furnish all the materials specified in the contract,

in the manner and time therein prescribed, and according to the requirements of the Engineer as
therein set forth.
Bidder understands that a bid is required for the entire work, that the estimated quantities set forth
in the bid form are solely for the purpose of comparing bids, and that final compensation under the
contract will be based upon the actual quantities of work satisfactorily completed. THE CITY OF
DELANO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF ANY
QUANTITY SHOWN AND TO DELETE ANY ITEM FROM THE CONTRACT.
It is agreed that the unit and/or lump sum prices bid include all apparent expenses, taxes, royalties,
and fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these special provisions, full compensation
for performing all work as specified in the Contract Documents and as directed by the Engineer is
considered to be included in the various bid items, and no additional payment will be made.
Bids will be compared on the basis of the Total Base Bid amount exclusive of additive bid items.
The project will be awarded to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder.
The bidder's execution on the signature portion of this proposal shall also constitute an
endorsement and execution of those certifications which are a part of this proposal.
