all questions shall be issued in the form of an Addendum to be issued by the City of Craig by no

All bids must be made on the required Bid Form. All blank spaces for bid prices must be filled in
with ink or typewritten, and the bid form must be fully completed and executed when submitted.
Only one copy of the bid form is required.
The Owner may waive any informalities or minor defects or reject any or 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be withdrawn prior to the above scheduled time for the opening of bids or authorized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. Should there be reasons why the contract cannot be awarded within the specified
period the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the Owner and the bidder.
Bidders must satisfy themselves with the accuracy of the estimated quantities in the bid
scheduled by examination of the site and a review of the drawings and specifications including
addenda. After bids have been submitted, the bidder shall not assert that there was a
misunderstanding concerning the quantities of work or the nature of the work to be done.
The Owner shall provide to bidders prior to bidding, all information which is pertinent to,
and delineates and describes the land owned and rights of way acquired or to be acquired.
The contract documents contain the provisions required for the construction of the
project. Information obtained from an officer, agent, or employee of the Owner or any other
person shall not affect the risks or obligations assumed by the contractor or relive him from
fulfilling any of the conditions of the contract.
Each bid greater than $50,000 must be accompanied by a bid bond payable to the Owner for
five percent (5%) of the total amount of the bid. As soon as the bid prices have been compared,
the Owner will return the bonds of all except the three lowest responsible bidders. When the
agreement is executed the bonds of the two remaining unsuccessful bidders will be returned.
The bid bond of the successful bidder will be retained until the payment bond and performance
bond have been executed and approved, after which it will be returned. A certified check may
be used in lieu of a bid bond.
For contracts greater than $50,000 a performance bond and payment bond, each in the amount
of 100 percent of the contract price, with a corporate surety approved by the Owner, will be
required for the faithful performance of the contract.
Attorneys-in-fact who sign bid bonds of payment bonds and performance bonds must file with
each bond a certified and effective dated copy of their power of attorney.
The party to whom the contract is awarded will be required to execute the agreement and obtain
the performance bond and payment bond within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the
notice of award. The notice of award shall be accompanied by the necessary agreement and
bond forms. In case of failure of the bidder to execute the agreement, the Owner may at their
option consider the bidder in default, in which case the bid bond accompanying the proposal
shall become the property of the Owner.
The Owner within ten (10) days of receipt of acceptable performance bond, payment bond and
agreement signed by the party to whom the agreement was awarded shall sign the agreement
and return to such party an executed duplicate of the agreement. Should the Owner not execute
the agreement within such period, the bidder may by written notice withdraw their signed
agreement. Such notice of withdrawal shall be effective upon receipt of the notice by the Owner.
The notice to proceed shall be issued within ten (10) days of the execution of the agreement by
the Owner. Should there be reasons why the notice to proceed cannot be issued within such
period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the Owner and the contractor.
If the notice to proceed has not been issued within the ten (10) day period or within the period
mutually agreed upon, the contractor may terminate the agreement without further liability on
the part of either party.
The Owner may make such investigations as they deem necessary to determine the ability of
the bidder to perform 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 agreement and to complete the
work contemplated therein. A conditional or qualified bid will not be accepted.
Award will be given to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. All applicable laws,
ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over construction
of the project shall apply to the contract throughout.
Each bidder is responsible for inspecting the site and for reading and being thoroughly familiar
with the contract documents. The failure or omission of any bidder to do any of the foregoing
shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect to his bid.
The bidder agrees to abide by the requirements under Executive Order Number 11246, as
amended, including specifically the provisions of the equal opportunity clause set forth in the
supplemental general conditions.
The low bidder shall supply the names and address of major material suppliers and
subcontractors when requested to do so by the Owner.
This project is exempt from Sales Tax requirements. The party to whom the contract is awarded
will be required to complete all necessary forms to document the exemption.
