4. Inspection of Site

Each bidder should visit the site of the proposed work and should become acquainted with the existing conditions and

facilities, the difficulties and restrictions pertaining to the performance of the contract. The bidder should thoroughly

examine and become familiar with the drawings, technical specifications and all other contract documents. The contractor

by the execution of the contract shall in no way be relieved of any obligation under it due to failure to receive or examine

any form or legal document or to visit the site or the conditions existing at the site. 2The County will be justified in rejecting

any claim based on lack of inspection of the site prior to the bid.

5. Alternate bid items

No alternate bids or bid items will be considered unless they are specifically requested by the technical specifications.

OR;

If Alternate A is selected, bid items 1 and 2 will be removed entirely from the base bid and replaced with alternate bid items

A1 and A2 prior to determining the low bidder.

OR;

If Deductive Alternate A is selected, the unit price for each corresponding base bid item will be applied to each deductive

bid item. Do not alter the unit price in calculating the Deductive Alternate.

6. Bids

a. All bids must be submitted on the forms provided and are subject to all requirements of the Contract

Documents, including the Drawings.

b. All bids must be regular in every respect and no interlineation, excisions or special conditions may be made

or included by the bidder.

c. Bid documents, including but not limited to the bid, the bid bond(s), the contractor’s certifications, local

opportunity plan, and the statement of the bidder’s qualifications, shall be sealed in an envelope and clearly

labeled with the words "Bid Documents”, the project number, name of bidder and the date and time of bid

opening.

d. The County may consider as irregular any bid on which there is an alteration of or departure from the bid

form and, at its option, may reject any irregular bid.

e. If a contract is awarded, it will be awarded to a responsible bidder on the basis of the lowest/best bid and

the selected alternate bid items, if any. The contract will require the completion of the work in accordance

with the contract documents.

7. Bid Modifications Prior to Bid Opening

a. Any bidder may modify its bid by submitting a modification or supplemental bid at any time prior to the

scheduled closing time for receipt of bids, provided such modification or supplemental bid is received by the

locality prior to the closing time. The modification or supplemental bid should not reveal the original bid

price but should provide only the addition, subtractions or other modifications to the original bid so that the

final prices or terms will not be known by the locality until the sealed bid is open.

8. Bid Bond

a. A bid bond in the amount of 5% of the bid issued by an acceptable surety shall be submitted with each bid

for contracts greater than $100,000.00. A certified check or bank draft payable to the locality or negotiable

U.S. Government Bonds (as par value) may be submitted in lieu of the Bid Bond.

b. The bid bond or its comparable will be returned to the bidder as soon as practical after the opening of the

bids.

9. Statement of Bidders Qualifications

Each bidder shall submit on the form furnished for that purpose a statement of the bidder's qualifications. Val Verde County

shall have the right to take such steps as it deems necessary to determine the ability of the bidder to perform its obligations

under the contract, and the bidder shall furnish the Grant Recipient all such information and data for this purpose as it may

request. The right is reserved to reject any bid where an investigation of the available data does not satisfy Val Verde County

that the bidder is qualified to carry out properly the terms of the contract.

10. Unit Price Bid

The unit price for each of the several items in the bid shall include its pro rata share of overhead so that the sum of the

products obtained by multiplying the quantity shown for each item by the unit price bid represents the total bid. Any bid

not conforming to this requirement may be rejected as informal.

The Department will sum the products of the quantities and the unit prices bid in the proposal form, including any selected

alternates, to determine the official total bid amount. The official total bid amount is the basis for determining the apparent

low Bidder. The total bid amounts will be compared and the results made public.

Special attention is drawn to this condition, as the unit prices will be used to determine the total bid price and the amount

of any change orders resulting from an increase or decrease in quantities.

11. Corrections

Erasures or other corrections in the bid must be noted over the signature of the bidder.

12. Time for Receiving Bids

Bids received prior to the advertised hour of opening shall be kept securely sealed. The officer appointed to open the bids

shall decide when the specified time has arrived and no bid received thereafter will be considered; except that when a bid

arrives by mail after the time fixed for opening, but before the reading of all other bids is completed, and it is shown to

the satisfaction of Val Verde County that the late arrival of the bid was solely due to delay in the mail for which the bidder

was not responsible, such bid will be received and considered.

13. Opening of Bids

Val Verde County shall, at the time and place stated for the opening of bids, open each bid and publicly read it aloud,

irrespective of any irregularities therein. Bidders and other interested individuals may be present.

14. Withdrawal of Bids

Bidder may withdraw the bid before the time fixed for the opening of bids, by communicating its purpose in writing to the

Val Verde County. Upon receipt of such notice, the unopened bid will be returned to the bidder. The bid guaranty of any

bidder withdrawing his bid will be returned promptly.

15. Award of Contract/Rejection of Bids

a. The contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible Bidder submitting the lowest/best bid. The

bidder selected will be notified at the earliest possible date. Val Verde County reserves the right to reject

any or all bids and to waive any informality in bids received where such rejection or waiver is in its interest.

b. Val Verde County reserves the right to consider as unqualified to do the work any bidder who does not

habitually perform with his own forces the major portions of the work involved in construction of the

improvements embraced in this contract.
