GENERAL CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS

1. GENERAL

Throughout this document, “City of Park Ridge” and “City” shall be synonymous and mean the City of Park

Ridge. The words “bid,” “proposal,” “bidder,” “proposer,” “vendor,” “firm,” “contractor,” and “supplier” may

be used in the alternative in these General Conditions and Instructions as intended and described by the

Scope of Work. The phrases “request for proposal,” “invitation for bids,” “request for quotes,” “request,”

“invitation,” and “solicitation” may also be used in the alternative.

2. EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND WORK SITE BY BIDDER

The Bidder shall, before submitting its Bid, carefully examine the plans, specifications, contract documents,

Bid, and bond and insurance requirements and visit the site to verify conditions under which work will be

performed. Each Bidder is responsible for reading the bid documents and familiarizing itself with all

requirements. Failure of a Bidder to do so shall not relieve the Bidder of any obligation with respect to said

bid. If the Bidder’s bid is accepted, it shall be responsible for, and the City will make no allowance for any

errors in their Bid resulting from its failure or neglect to comply with these instructions.

Unless otherwise provided elsewhere in these documents, when the plans or specifications include

information pertaining to subsurface explorations, borings, test pits, and other preliminary investigation,

such information represents only the opinion of the City as to the location, character, or quantity of the

materials encountered and is only included for the convenience of the Bidder. The City assumes no

responsibility whatsoever with respect to the sufficiency or accuracy of the information, and there is no

guaranty, either expressed or implied, that the conditions indicated are representative of those existing

throughout the work, or that unanticipated developments may not occur. Accordingly, by bidding on the

work, each Bidder waives its rights under the Illinois Public Construction Contract Act, 30 ILCS 557/.

3. QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDER

The City may take any action deemed necessary to investigate the qualifications of each Bidder. The City

reserves the right to qualify or disqualify Bidders as a result of lack of similar project experience and/or any

other information obtained from the project reference form, references listed thereon, or publicly available

information. Bidders must also demonstrate that they have sufficient resources (i.e. capital, laborers, sub-

contractors, etc.) to accomplish all tasks required within the schedule for the contract. In the event there are

additional eligibility requirements described in the Special Conditions or Specifications, such requirements

shall be supplemental to and not in limitation of this provision.

4. PREPARATION OF BID

The Bidder shall prepare their Bid on the attached Bid Form or alternatively include all required information

in the Bidder’s proposal package if a Bid Form is not included. Unless otherwise stated, all blank spaces on

the Bid page(s), applicable to the subject specification, must be correctly filled in. Either a unit price or a lump

sum price, as the case may be, must be stated for each item, either typed in or written in ink, in figures, and,

if required, in words. In the event of an error on the Bid page in which there is a conflict between the unit

price and the extended price or the total bid price, the City may exercise its reasonable discretion to ascertain

the actual price of the bid.

If the Bidder is a corporation, the President and Secretary shall execute the Bid, and the Corporate Seal shall

be affixed. In the event that the Bid is executed by an officer other than the President, sufficient evidence of

such signatory’s authority shall be submitted. If the Bidder is a partnership, majority owning partners or general

partners shall execute the Bid, unless one partner has been authorized to sign for the partnership, in which

case sufficient evidence of such authority shall be submitted. If the Bidder is a limited liability company, the

manager shall execute the Bid, unless another officer has been authorized to sign for the company, in which

case sufficient evidence of such authority shall be submitted.

Each Bid must contain all required certifications and signatures. In addition, if any addenda are issued by the

City, the Bidder shall be required to acknowledge receipt of the formal addendum on the Bid form or

proposal, as applicable. Failure of a Bidder to acknowledge any of the addenda issued or submit essential

required documents contained in the solicitation shall deem its bid non-responsive; provided, however, that

the City in reliance upon its home rule powers, may choose to waive this requirement if the City determines

from the context of the Bid that the Bidder has considered the terms and conditions of the addendum.

The Bid submitted must not contain erasures, interlineations, or other corrections unless each correction is

suitably authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately opposite the correction the surname or

surnames of the person or persons signing the bid.

Modifications of bids already submitted will be considered if received at the office designated in the

Invitation to Bid by the time set for opening of bids. Unless called for, alternate bids will not be considered.

No compensation will be allowed due to any difficulties which the Bidder could have discovered or

reasonably known prior to bidding.

5. SUBMISSION OF BID

All prospective Bidders shall submit their Bid in the manner specified in the Notice to Bidders by the specified

due date and time of the bid. Bids received beyond the date and hour set for the bid opening will not be

considered and will be returned unopened.

Submission of a bid will be considered presumptive evidence that the Bidder has visited the sites and is

conversant with local facilities and difficulties, the requirements of the documents and of pertinent State or

Local Codes, the state of Labor and Material Markets, and has made due allowance in the bid for all

contingencies. Include in bid all costs of labor, material, equipment, allowance, fees, permits, guarantees,

applicable taxes, insurance and contingencies, with overhead and profit necessary to produce a complete

project, or to complete those portions of the work covered by the Specifications on which the Bid is made

including all trades, without further cost to the Owner. Unless otherwise described in the Special Conditions

or Specifications, Bidders shall be responsible to obtain all permits and arrange for all inspections. No

unsolicited supplemental information will be accepted and will be returned without being considered by the

City.

6. WITHDRAWAL OF BID

A Bidder may withdraw their Bid at any time prior to the time specified in the notice as the closing time for

receipt of bids. However, no Bidder shall withdraw, cancel or modify their Bid for a period of sixty (60)

calendar days after the specified closing time for the receipt of bid. Where this contract is subject to

approval by another agency, such as the Federal Government or the State of Illinois, then the Bidder shall not

withdraw, cancel or modify their Bid for a period of ninety (90) calendar days after the specified closing time

for the receipt of bids.

7. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS

No Bid will be accepted from or contract awarded to any person, firm or corporation that is in arrears or is in

default to the City of Park Ridge upon any debt or contract, or that is a defaulter, as surety or otherwise,

upon any obligation to the City, or had failed to perform faithfully any previous contract with the City. The

Bidder, if requested, shall present within 48 hours evidence satisfactory to the City of performance ability and

possession of necessary facilities, pecuniary resources and adequate insurance to comply with the terms of

these specifications and contract documents.

Each Bidder shall submit where necessary, or when requested by the Procurement Officer, catalogs,

descriptive literature or detailed drawings fully detailing features, designs, construction, appointments,

finishes and the like not covered in the specifications, necessary to fully describe the material or work they

propose to furnish.

The City of Park Ridge reserves the right to disregard any informality in the bids and bidding, to waive

technicalities, or to reject any and all bids when, in the opinion of the City Council, the best interest of the

City will be served by such action.

In addition to price, the City may consider: (1) compliance with bid and contract requirement including bonds

and insurance; (2) ability, capacity, and skill to perform; (3) adequacy of facilities, equipment, materials,

financial resources, organization, and staffing; (4) character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and

efficiency; (5) quality of past performance; (6) compliance with past contracts and applicable laws; (7) ability

to provide future maintenance and service; (8) conditions or exceptions placed on the bid.

8. ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS

The City will accept one of the bids or reject all bids within sixty (60) calendar days, or within ninety (90)

calendar days where approval by other agencies is required, from the date of opening of bids, unless the

successful Bidder, upon request of the City, extends the time of acceptance to the City. The contract will be

awarded based on the City’s independent assessment of the bid by reference to the evaluation criteria

described in the bid solicitation. Where no evaluation criteria are specified, the contract will be awarded to

the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid is most favorable to the City’s interests. The City

may rely on any information presented in the bid and any publicly available information to assess the

qualifications, responsiveness and responsibility of a bid.

9. INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

Any Bidder in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the specifications and contract documents may

submit to the Procurement Officer a written request for an interpretation thereof by the deadline described

in the Notice to Bidders. No oral comments will be made to any Bidder as to the meaning of the General or

Special Conditions or any other contract documents and any inadvertently made are hereby disclaimed and

void. The person submitting the request shall be responsible for its prompt delivery. Questions received after

the deadline described in the Notice to Bidders cannot be considered. Such interpretation will be made only

in the form of a written addendum duly issued by Procurement Officer. A copy of such addendum will be

posted on the City’s website and DemandStar. Failure on the part of the prospective Bidder to receive a

written interpretation prior to the time of the opening of bids will not be grounds for withdrawal of their Bid.

The Bidder shall acknowledge receipt of each addendum issued.

Addenda may modify or interpret the Bidding Documents and will become part of the Contract Documents

when the Contract is executed. Subsequent addenda shall govern over prior addenda only to the extent

specified.

Any references in these specifications to manufacturer's name, trade name, or catalog number (unless

otherwise specified) is intended to be descriptive but not restrictive and only to indicate articles or materials

that will be satisfactory. Bids on other makes and catalogs will be considered, provided each Bidder clearly

states on the face of their Bid exactly what is proposed to be furnished. Unless so stated in the Bid, it shall be

understood that the Bidder intends to furnish the item specified and does not propose to furnish an "equal".

The City hereby reserves the right to approve as an equal, or to reject as not being an equal, any article the

Bidder proposes to furnish which contains minor or major variations from specification requirements.

10. CHANGES:

Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/33E-9) requires that aggregate changes in excess of $25,000 or aggregate extensions

greater than one hundred eighty (180) days must comply with the Criminal Code. Likewise, Illinois law (50

ILCS 525/5) expresses for a change order that authorizes or necessitates any increase in the contract price

that is 50% or more of the original contract price or that authorizes or necessitates any increase in the price

of a subcontract under the contract that is 50% or more of the original subcontract price, then the portion of

the contract that is covered by the change order must be resubmitted for bidding in the same manner for

which the original contract was bid. Upon approval, the Procurement Officer shall issue to the successful

contractor a written change order to the original contract; such change orders shall be binding upon both

parties thereto and shall in no way invalidate or make void the terms of the original contract not modified by

such change.

11. FAIR EMPLOYMENT

Bidder’s signature on the Bid Form will be construed as acceptance of and willingness to comply with all

provisions of the acts of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois relating to wages of laborers and

discrimination and intimidation of employees. Provisions of said acts are herein incorporated by reference

and become a part of this Bid and Specifications

12. DRUG FREE WORKPLACE ACT

At the time of contract, the Contractor will make certification required in the Contract and will comply with

all provisions of the Drug Free Workplace Act that are applicable to the Company. False certification or

violation of the requirements of the Drug Free Workplace Act may result in sanctions including but not

limited to suspension of the Contract with the City, termination of the Contract and debarment of contracting

with the City for at least one (1) year but not more than five (5) years.

13. HAZARD COMMUNICATION

All on-site contractors shall be informed of chemical hazards to which their employees could possibly be

exposed while working for the City. Upon request, this information is made available to the contractors and

their subcontractors by the prime contractor. It is the contractors and subcontractor’s responsibility to train

their own employees on Hazardous Communications and the handling of hazardous materials. It is the

responsibility of the contractor to inform the City of any hazardous substances brought and stored on City

property. The contractor must also provide a Safety Data sheet for such chemicals.

14. WARRANTY/GUARANTEE

The Bidder warrants to the City that the labor shall be first class and conform to the requirements of the

Specifications and shall be performed by persons qualified in their respective trades. Materials furnished

under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted under the

Specifications, and that materials will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted.

Work and materials not conforming to the Specifications, including substitutions not properly approved and

authorized, may be considered defective and will be rejected by the City. This warranty excludes remedy for

damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Bidder, improper or insufficient

maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. Unless otherwise described in

the specifications, materials provided under this agreement will be guaranteed for a period of one year, or

the term of the manufacturer’s warranty, whichever is greater. Unless otherwise described in the

specifications, labor provided under this agreement will be guaranteed for a period of one year.

15. NON-BARRED BIDDING

The Bidder must certify that it is not barred from bidding on this contract as a result of a conviction for the

violation of state laws prohibiting bid-rigging or bid rotating by executing the included certification as

required by 720 ILCS 5/33E-11.
