of the proposed work as are necessary to familiarize themselves with local conditions, which may affect the

proposed work. Bidders are also advised to inform themselves fully in regard to conditions under which the

work will be performed. Gwinnett County will not be responsible for Bidder’s errors or misjudgment, nor for

2. Any unauthorized additions, conditions, limitations, or provisions attached to the Bid shall render it informal,

and may be cause for rejection.

3. Individuals, firms and businesses seeking an award of a Gwinnett County contract may not initiate or continue

employee or other County representative without permission of the Purchasing Associate named in the

solicitation between the date of the issuance of the solicitation and the date of the final contract award by

the Board of Commissioners. The Purchasing Director will review violations. If determined that such

business may be disqualified from consideration for award.

G. AWARD OF CONTRACT

1. The Contract will be an "Open End” type to provide for the requirements of Gwinnett County on an as needed

basis. As it is impossible to determine the exact quantities of items and the roads, parking areas, etc., to

receive these items, either for resurfacing or new roads, the quantities of items may be increased or

decreased, and specific roads may be added or deleted as required to satisfy the needs of the County. Each

section will be awarded to the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder. Gwinnett County reserves the right

to make an award as deemed in its best interest, which may include awarding to a single bidder or multiple

bidders.

2. Prior to award of the contract, the successful contractor will be required to submit a construction schedule

to the County, demonstrating the contractor’s ability to commence and proceed in a timely manner on all of

the Gwinnett County resurfacing contracts for which contractor is the successful bidder. Due to the time

constraints on this contract, it is mandatory that the work be performed as quickly as possible. A contractor’s

failure to demonstrate the ability to proceed as required may result in the award of one or all of those sections

to the next low, responsive and responsible bidder, as deemed in the County's best interest.

3. Prior to execution of a contract, a Contract Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each equal to 100% of

the Contract amount per section, must be provided by the successful Bidder (Gwinnett County form provided)

by a surety company qualified to do business in the State of Georgia and satisfactory to Gwinnett County.

Bonds given shall meet the requirements as listed in this Bid package. Failure to execute the Contract,

Contract Performance Bond and Payment Bond, or furnish satisfactory proof of coverage of the insurance

required within ten days after the date of Notice of the Contract may be just cause for the annulment of the

award and for the forfeiture of the guaranty to Gwinnett County, not as a penalty, but as liquidation of

damages sustained. Failure to progress in a timely manner after beginning the work may also be just cause

for annulment of the contract award and re-advertisement and re-bidding of any or all these contracts. The

Contract and Contract Bonds shall be executed in duplicate.
