Further, the District assumes no liability or responsibility for

the failure or inability of any Bidder to successfully download

any and all contract documents, including but not limited to

specifications, proposal forms and/or plans, as a result of any

type of technological computer and/or software system failure or

breakdown that restricts, prohibits or prevents successful

downloading of any and all District contract documents by the

Bidder, whether caused by the District or other parties,

directly or indirectly.

Any Proposal which indicates multiple or alternate bids will be

deemed non-responsive and will be rejected by the Director of

Procurement and Materials Management.

Bidding documents are only available online, and all addenda

issued for this contract will be available online at the

District’s website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing

copy of each addendum with the Bidder’s proposal at the time and

date set to receive bids. Oral explanations will not be binding.

The District’s responses online are NOT official responses and,

therefore, are not binding to the bidding documents. Any

official interpretation or change to the bidding documents will

be made only by addenda duly issued to all plan holders on

record by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.

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 proposal.

Prior to award of the Contract, the lowest responsible Bidder

must demonstrate compliance with the District’s 2017 Multi-

Project Labor Agreement (Cook County) (MPLA) by submitting to

the Director of Procurement and Materials Management a signed

Certificate of Compliance with Multi-Project Labor Agreement

(Cook County) (MPLA) (Revised October 2019). The Agreement and

Certificate of Compliance (Revised October 2019) are contained

in the Contract Documents.

Each Bidder must submit with their proposals a signed and

completed MBE/WBE Utilization Plan which lists each business

intended to be used as a MBE and WBE on pages UP-2 and UP-3 and

supplemental pages as necessary. The Bidder must sign the

Signature Section page on UP-4. Failure to submit a signed

MBE/WBE Utilization Plan will result in a bid being deemed non-

responsive and the bid will be rejected. Also, if a Waiver is

sought, the Bidder is required to sign pages UP-4 and UP-5,

the Waiver Request Form: failure to do so will be viewed as non-

responsive and the bid will be rejected.

Each Bidder must submit with their bid package an original or

Plan. The submitted MBE/WBE Subcontractor’s Letter of Intent

Certification from a state, local government or agency or

documentation demonstrating that the subcontractor is a MBE or

WBE within the meaning of the Affirmative Action Ordinance,

Revised Appendix D. Failure to submit the MBE/WBE Utilization

Plan signed by the Bidder at the time of the bid opening and the

MBE/WBE Subcontractor's Letter of Intent signed by each MBE and

WBE will be viewed as non-responsive and the bid will be

rejected.

If the Bidder exceeds the allowable Supplier Utilization amount

which is stated in the bid documents, the bid will be viewed as

non-responsive. Therefore, the Bidder may not exceed the use of

a MBE or WBE supplier for more than 50% of each respective MBE

or WBE, goal, unless the Administrator has authorized a

Supplier’s Exception notated on page AU-1.

Each Bidder must submit with their proposals a completed VBE

Commitment Form which lists each business intended to be used as

a VBE. The Bidder must make a "Good Faith Effort" to identify

eligible Veteran Owned-Businesses by completing the VBE

Commitment Form. If the Bidder is unable to identify qualified

VBE subcontractors capable of providing goods or services

required by the Contract, the Bidder must write "no

Where a Bidder has failed to meet the VBE participation goal,

the Administrator shall require the Contractor to submit a

Veteran's Business Enterprise Good Faith Efforts Documentation

Request Form and provide additional documentation of its good

faith efforts in attempting to fulfill the VBE goal.

VBE goals are separate from Minority-owned Business Enterprises

(MBE) and Women-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) goals. An

Eligible Veteran who is also an MBE or WBE may be dual-utilized

to fulfill both goals. However, the three-percent (3%) VBE goal

must be accomplished in addition to the MBE/WBE goals set forth

in this Contract.

The MBE/WBE Utilization Plan MUST be signed by the Bidder, even

if the Bidder requests a waiver and/or offers itself to meet any

of the Appendix D goals. If the Bidder offers itself to satisfy

any of the Appendix D goals, then its name shall be shown in the

appropriate space(s) on the MBE/WBE Utilization Plan. If the

Bidder lists itself on the MBE/WBE Utilization Plan, an MBE/WBE

Subcontractor’s Letter of Intent from the Bidder to itself must

be included.
