Any other information or action taken that is deemed necessary to ensure that the Bidder <br /> is the lowest responsible bidder. <br /> After Bid opening, but prior to award, the apparent successful Bidder shall, if requested by the <br /> City, attend a pre-award conference to respond to questions by the City regarding evaluation of <br /> Bids. The City will emphasize items such as insurance and bonding that will assist in prompt <br /> issuance of the Notice to Proceed. By conducting a pre-award conference, the City has not <br /> thereby waived its right to make determinations regarding responsiveness and responsibility of <br /> the Bidder. I <br /> 1-03 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT <br /> 1-03.1 Consideration of Bids <br /> Bids will be evaluated by the City to determine which bid is the lowest responsive bid by a <br /> responsible bidder and which bid, if any, should be accepted in the best interest of the City. The <br /> right is reserved by the City to waive informalities in the bidding, accept a Bid of the lowest <br /> responsible Bidder, reject any or all Bids, republish the call for Bids, revise or cancel the Work, <br /> or require the Work to be done in another way if the best interest of the City is served. I <br /> Within 5 days after the opening of Bids, a Bidder who wishes to claim error shall submit a <br /> notarized affidavit signed by the Bidder, accompanied by original work sheets used in the <br /> preparation of the Bid, requesting relief from the responsibilities of Award. The affidavit shall <br /> describe the specific error(s) and certify that the work sheets are the originals used in the <br /> preparation of the Bid. The Engineer will review the certified work sheets to determine the <br /> validity of the claimed error and make recommendation to the City. If the City concurs in the <br /> claim of error, the Bidder will be relieved of responsibility, and the bid deposit of the Bidder will <br /> be returned. Thereafter, at the discretion of the City, all Bids may be rejected or Award made to <br /> next lowest and responsive Bidder. I <br /> 1-03.1(2) Preference for Resident Contractors <br /> In accordance with RCW 39.04.380, if a Bid is received from a nonresident contractor from a 1� <br /> state that provides a percentage bidding preference and does not have an office located in <br /> Washington, then a comparable percentage disadvantage will be applied to the Bid of that <br /> nonresident contractor. <br /> 1-03.1(3) Tie Bids <br /> After opening Bids, if two or more lowest responsive and responsible Bid totals are exactly <br /> equal, then the tie-breaker will be determined by drawing as described in this section. Two <br /> or more slips of paper will be marked as follows: one marked "Winner" and the other(s) <br /> marked "unsuccessful". The slips will be folded to make the marking unseen. The slips will <br /> be placed inside a box. One authorized representative of each Bidder shall draw a slip from <br /> City of Everett 00 21 13-10 February 2023 <br /> WPCF TFI Bar Screen Upgrades <br /> UP3770 <br /> 1 <br />
