The City of Pawtucket reserves the right to award on the basis of cost alone, accept or reject any or all

bids, and to act in its best interest including, but not limited to, directly negotiating with any vendor who

submits a proposal in response to this Sealed Bid and to award a contract based upon the results of

those negotiations alone. Proposals found to be technically or substantially non-responsive at any point

sole option, elect to require presentations(s) by bidders clearly in consideration for award.

2.0 - Instructions and Notifications to Bidders

• The words “City of Pawtucket” when used, shall also mean the Pawtucket Water Supply Board

acting through its Chairman.

• It is the vendor's responsibility to examine all specifications and conditions thoroughly, and comply

fully with specifications and all attached terms and conditions. Vendors must comply with all

Federal, State, and City laws, ordinances and regulations, and meet any and all registration

requirements where required for contractors as set forth by the State of Rhode Island. Failure to

make a complete submission as described herein may result in a rejection of the proposal.

• All costs associated with developing or submitting a proposal in response to this Request, or to

provide oral or written clarification of its content shall be borne by the bidder. The City of Pawtucket

assumes no responsibility for these costs.

• A submittal may be withdrawn by written request to the Purchasing Agent by the proposer prior to

the stated Sealed Bid deadline.

• Prior to the proposal deadline established for this Sealed Bid, changes may be made to a proposal

already received by the City if that vendor makes a request to the Purchasing Agent, in writing, to

do so. No changes to a proposal shall be made after the Sealed Bid deadline.

• Proposals are considered to be irrevocable for a period of not less than ninety (90) days following

the opening date, and may not be withdrawn, except with the express written permission of the

Purchasing Agent. Should any vendor object to this condition, the vendor must provide objection

through a question and/or complaint to the Purchasing Agent prior to the proposal deadline.

• All pricing submitted will be considered to be firm and fixed unless otherwise indicated herein.

• The vendor has full responsibility to ensure that the proposal arrives at the Purchasing Division

Office prior to the deadline set out herein. The City assumes no responsibility for delays caused

by the U.S. Postal Service or any other delivery service. Postmarking by the due date will not

substitute for actual receipt of response by the due date. Proposals arriving after the deadline may

be returned, unopened, to the vendor, or may simply be declared non-responsive and not subject

to evaluation, at the sole discretion of the Purchasing Agent. For the purposes of this

requirement, the official time and date shall be that of the time clock in the City of

Pawtucket’s Purchasing Office.

• It is intended that an award pursuant to this Sealed Bid will be made to a prime contractor, who

will assume responsibility for all aspects of the work. Joint venture and cooperative proposals will

not be considered, but subcontracts are permitted, provided that their use is clearly indicated in

the bidder's proposal, and the subcontractor(s) proposed to be used are identified in the proposal.

• Bidders are advised that all materials submitted to the City of Pawtucket for consideration in

response to this Sealed Bid shall be considered to be public records as defined in Title 38 Chapter

2 of the Rhode Island General Laws, without exception, and may be released for inspection

immediately upon request once an award has been made.

• Vendors are responsible for errors and omissions in their proposals. No such error or omission

shall diminish the vendor's obligations to the City.

• The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, or portions thereof, at any time, with no

penalty. The City also has the right to waive immaterial defects and minor irregularities in any

submitted proposal at its sole discretion. All material submitted in response to this Sealed Bid

shall become the property of the City of Pawtucket upon delivery to the Purchasing Agent.
