SECTION A

Subsection A.1 BID SUBMISSION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I. PREPARATION

1.1 Throughout the bidding process, up until award, bidders are prohibited from contacting City staff,

representatives or agents other than the Consolidated Procurement Department on the subject of this

ITB or any subject related to this ITB except with prior knowledge and express permission from the

Procurement Director or designee.

1.2 All attached response forms must be used and submitted. Responses not submitted on said forms or

not fully completed with all information may be declared nonresponsive. Additional pages may be

attached if additional space is required to complete the forms.

1.3 All documents shall be signed in ink. Any corrections to entries made on forms shall be made in ink

and initialed by the person signing the response. Bids containing any conditions, omissions,

unexplained alterations or items not called for in the proposal, or irregularities of any kind, may be

rejected by the City as being incomplete or nonresponsive.

1.4 All bids shall be submitted sealed, plainly marked showing the bid number, date, and time. Failure to

return all required pages may result in a determination that the submittal is non-responsive.

1.5 General questions, requests for explanations, or interpretations of documents shall be made as

directed. No oral explanation in regard to the meaning of drawings and specifications will be made

and no oral instructions will be given before the award of the contract.

1.6 During preparation and prior to opening, each vendor shall not divulge, discuss or compare his

response with others, and shall not collude with any other party to a response. A signed response

shall be taken as an indication that the vendor fully understands the Commonwealth of Virginia’s

Conflict of Interest Act and the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Ethics in Public Procurement Act and

that his actions in no way violate any of the provisions therein.

1.7 Unless this solicitation contains a clear statement that only one certain brand, make or manufacturer

is acceptable and a clear reason is stated why such is so, the name of a certain brand, make or

manufacturer does not restrict vendors to that named. Such only conveys the general style, type,

character, and quality of that desired. During evaluation of responses, it shall be the sole discretion

of the City to determine what is equal, considering quality, workmanship, economy of operation, and

suitability for the purpose intended.

1.8 The apparent silence of these specifications and any supplemental specifications as to any detail or

the omission from the specifications of a detailed description concerning any point shall be regarded

as meaning that only the best commercial practices are to prevail and correct type, size, and design

are to be used. All interpretations of these specifications shall be made on the basis of this

statement.

1.9 It is the responsibility of each bidder in preparing its bid:

a) To examine thoroughly the bid documents;

b) To visit the site to become familiar with and satisfy the bidder as to the general, local, and site

conditions that may affect cost, progress, performance, or furnishing of the work;

c) To study and carefully correlate the bidder’s knowledge and observations with the bid

documents and other such related data; and

d) To promptly notify the City of all conflicts, errors, ambiguities, or discrepancies which the

bidder has discovered in or between the bid documents and such other related documents or

field/site conditions.

1.10 Prices shall be all inclusive for the scope of the solicitation. Where applicable, the following

shall apply: All shipments shall be F.O.B. destination, freight included. Delivery shall be inside as

4

directed at the address indicated. Required delivery times and terms of payment shall be clearly

stated.

1.11 Prices shall be stated in units of quantity specified. No additional charges shall be passed to the

City, including any applicable taxes, delivery, or surcharges. Prices quoted shall be the final cost to

the City.

1.12 It is the Bidder’s responsibility to ensure that the Bidder receives all addenda to accompany the

bid. Addenda are posted on the City’s website where bid documents can also be found.

1.13 It is the policy of the City of Hampton to encourage the development and sustain utilization of

minority and woman-owned businesses (MBE/WBE). The City of Hampton encourages these firms

to compete and encourages non-minority firms to provide for the participation of these businesses

through subcontracting opportunities. Bidder is requested to complete the MBE/WBE Forms in this

document.

2.3 All bids must be signed by an authorized, responsible officer or employee having the authority to

enter into contracts. The bidder agrees that its contract performance shall be in strict conformity

with the contract documents.

2.4 Bidders may only request withdrawal of their bids from consideration if the bid is substantially

lower than other bids due solely to an unintentional arithmetic error, unintentional omission of

quantity of work, labor, or material made directly in the compilation of a bid that can be shown by

objective evidence. A request to withdraw must be made in writing within two (2) days of the bid

opening.

2.5 The City’s acceptance of responses does not place any liability or obligation on the City to the

Contractor. Financial obligations on behalf of the City shall occur only through the award of a

contract and/or purchase order in accordance with applicable law.

2.6 The bidder certifies that by signing the bid that the bid is made without prior understanding,

agreement, or accord with any other person or firm submitting a bid for the same goods and/or

service and that this bid is in all respects bona fide, fair, and not the result of any act of fraud or

collusion with another person or firm engaged in the same line of business or commerce. Any false

statement hereunder may constitute a felony and can result in a fine and imprisonment, as well as

civil damages.

2.7 A bid bond or certified check in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid shall

accompany any bid in excess of $100,000.00 for the bid to be considered responsive.
