GENERAL CONDITIONS
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1. DEFINED TERMS: Terms used in these instructions to Bidders and the
Notice Inviting Bids which are defined in the General Conditions have the
meaning assigned to them in the General Conditions. The term “Bidder”
means one who submits a Bid directly to CITY, as distinct from a sub-bidder,
who submits a Bid to a Bidder.
2. COMPETENCY OF BIDDER: In selecting the bid which best meets the
interests of the CITY consideration will be given not only to the financial
standing but also to the general competency of the Bidder for the
performance of the Work covered by the Bid. To this end, each Bid shall be
supported by a statement of the Bidder’s experience as of recent date on the
form entitled “Reference Sheet” herein. A “NO BID” for the WORK will be
accepted from a contractor who does not hold a valid contractor’s license in
the State and County where the WORK is to be performed (if required by
State or County) applicable to the type of work bid upon at the time of
opening bids.
3. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDER: More than one bid from an individual
firm, partnership, corporation, or association under the same or different
names will not be considered. If the CITY believes that any Bidder is
interested in more than one Bid for the WORK contemplated, all bids in which
such Bidder is interested will be rejected. If the CITY believes that collusion
exists among the Bidder’s, all bids will be rejected.
4. BIDDER’S EXAMINATION OF BID DOCUMENTS AND SITE:
4.1 It is the responsibility of each Bidder before submitting a bid, to:
(a) Examine the Bid Documents thoroughly,
(b) Visit the site to become familiar with local conditions
that may affect cost, progress, or performance of Work,
(c) Consider federal, state and local Laws and Regulations
that may affect cost, progress, or performance of Work,
(d) Study and carefully correlate the Bidder’s observations
with the Bid Documents, and,
(e) Notify the CITY OR THE CITY’S REPRESENTATIVE
of all conflicts, errors, or discrepancies in the Bid
Documents.
