102.07
102.07 Duty to Notify of Errors in Bid Documents. Notify the Department
of errors and omissions in the Bid Documents. Make notification by submitting a
question in the manner described in 102.05. The Contractor’s duty to disclose
errors and omissions is not only a bidding requirement but is also a legal
requirement that cannot be ignored.
Failure to provide the required notification prior to the opening of bids shall
constitute a waiver by the Contractor and does not obligate the Department for any
costs based upon any apparent or patent ambiguity arising from insufficient data or
obvious errors in the Bid documents. Knowingly withholding information
regarding an error or omission in the Bid Documents, or intentionally
misrepresenting an item of Work for financial or competitive gain may result in
civil or criminal penalties in excess of the value of the item bid.
102.08 Unbalanced Bidding. Bid all items correctly and price each quantity
as indicated in the Bid Documents. The Department will reject a Mathematically
Unbalanced Bid if the Bid is also Materially Unbalanced. A Mathematically
Unbalanced Bid is a Bid containing lump sum or unit price items that do not
include reasonable labor, equipment, and material costs plus a reasonable
proportionate share of the Bidder’s overhead costs, other indirect costs, and
anticipated profit. A Materially Unbalanced Bid is when the Department
determines that an award to the Bidder submitting a Mathematically Unbalanced
Bid will not result in the lowest ultimate cost to the Department.
102.09 Proposal Guaranty. The Department will reject a Bid submitted
without a Proposal Guaranty in the amount designated and payable to the Director.
Submit the required Proposal Guaranty in one of the following forms:
A. Properly executed project Bid bond submitted on the Department’s form.
B. Properly executed electronic bid transfer to the Department's account.
C. Certified check drawn on the account of the Bidder submitting the Bid.
D. Cashier’s check.
E. Properly executed electronic project Bid bond submitted using the software
specified in the Bid Documents.
