REJECTION OF BIDS

The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, including without limitation the right to reject any or

all nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced, or conditional bids and to reject the bid of any Bidder if the

Owner believes that it would not be in the best interest of the project to make an award to that Bidder,

whether because the bid is not responsive or if the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or

fails to meet any pertinent standards or criteria established by the Owner. The Owner also reserves the

right to waive all informalities in any bid should it be deemed in the best interest of the Owner to do so.

Discrepancies between the multiplication of units of work and the unit prices will be resolved in favor of the

unit price. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum will be

resolved in favor of the correct sum. Discrepancies between words and figure will be resolved in favor of

words.

CONTRACT EXECUTION

The Bidder to whom the contract is awarded shall, within ten (10) calendar days after notice of award, enter

into a written contract with the Owner and furnish bonds and proof of insurance as hereinafter specified.

Failure to execute the contract or furnish satisfactory bonds and proof of insurance will be considered cause

for annulment of award and forfeiture of the Bidder’s surety. Following the execution of the contract, the

Bidder shall become known as the Contractor.

PERFORMANCE AND LIEN BONDS

The successful Bidder to whom the contract is awarded shall furnish two (2) surety bonds as follows:

Performance Bond – To the Township Board of Bedford Township, 8100 Jackman Road,

Michigan, 48182 for the payment of all labor and materials used in the work in the amount of one-

hundred (100) percent of the contract amount.

MAINTENANCE BOND

After the project is completed and accepted by the Owner but prior to final payment, the Contractor shall

secure a two (2) year Maintenance Bond in the amount of twenty-five (25) percent of the final construction

cost rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars.

Subsequent to completion of construction, the Engineer will conduct a final inspection of the project to

determine whether or not the improvements have been properly constructed. The two (2) year term of the

bond will begin on the final inspection date provided that at that time, all improvements meet the required

standard.

INCREASED OR DECREASED QUANTITIES

The Owner reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities from those originally estimated and such

changes will be paid for at the unit price bid so long as the total contract amount is not changed more than

ten (10) percent. Changes in excess of that amount will be individually negotiated.

TIME OF COMPLETION

All work shall be completed on or before May 1, 2026. All work shall be conducted during normal daytime

hours unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. Normal daytime hours are considered to be Monday

through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. No work shall be conducted during holiday periods, as defined in

subsection 101.03 of the Standard Specifications for Construction.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME

Liquidated damages will be assessed in the amount of $500.00 per calendar day in which the project

remains incomplete beyond the contract completion date, except that all references to seasonal limitations

will not apply. Liquidated damages will continue to be assessed each calendar day after the contract project

Page 3 of 10

completion date until all work on the project is completed, even if those days extend beyond any seasonal

limitations.

PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR

Payments will be made to the Contractor on the 30th day of each month. The Owner will make a partial

payment to the Contractor on the basis of an estimate, prepared by the Engineer, of the work performed

on the project during the preceding period less a five (5) percent retainer.

FINAL INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT

The Engineer will make a final inspection of all work included in the contract, and notify the Contractor of

defects to be remedied prior to final acceptance. The Contractor is required to provide unconditional

waivers of lien from all sub-contractors and suppliers before preparing a final estimate. Upon satisfactory

completion of the work by the Contractor, a final estimate will be prepared. Payment for all work completed

and accepted, less previous payments, will be made within thirty (30) days of final acceptance.

DISPUTES

The Engineer’s written decision on any question arising under the contract between the Owner and

Contractor shall be final and binding upon both the Owner and the Contractor in the absence of fraud, bad

faith, or abuse of discretion.

ARBITRATION

All claims, disputes and other matters in question between the Owner and the Contractor arising out of, or

relating to, the Contract Documents or the breach thereof (except for claims which have been waived by

the making or acceptance of final payment) will be decided by arbitration in accordance with the

Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then obtaining subject to

the limitations of this section. This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or consent to

arbitrate entered into in accordance herewith will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing laws of

any court having jurisdiction.

No demand for arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter that is required to be referred to Engineer

initially for decision will be made until the earlier of (a) the date on which Engineer has rendered a decision

or (b) the tenth day after the parties have presented their evidence to Engineer if a written decision has not

been rendered by Engineer before that date. No demand for arbitration of any such claim, dispute or other

matter will be made later than thirty (30) days after the date on which Engineer has rendered a written

decision in respect thereof; and the failure to demand arbitration within said thirty (30) days' period shall

result in Engineer's decision being final and binding upon Owner and Contractor. If Engineer renders a

decision after arbitration proceedings have been initiated, such decision may be entered as evidence but

will not supersede the arbitration proceedings, except where the decision is acceptable to the parties

concerned. No demand for arbitration of any written decision of Engineer will be made later than ten (10)

days after the party making such demand has delivered written notice of intention to appeal.

Notice of the demand for arbitration will be filed in writing with the other party to the Agreement and with

the American Arbitration Association, and a copy will be sent to Engineer for information. The demand for

arbitration will be made within the thirty (30) day or ten (10) day period specified above as applicable, and

in all other cases within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen,

and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable

proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable

statute of limitations.

No arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents shall include by consolidation, joinder or

in any other manner any other person or entity who is not a party of this contract unless:

a)

the inclusion of such other person or entity is necessary if complete relief is to be afforded

among those who are already parties to the arbitration;
