To assess bidder responsibility, the City reserves the right to request <br />documentation as needed from the Bidder and third parties concerning the Bidder’s <br />compliance with the mandatory bidder responsibility criteria. <br />If the City determines the Bidder does not meet the mandatory bidder responsibility <br />criteria in RCW 39.04.350(1) and is therefore not a responsible Bidder, the City shall <br />notify the Bidder in writing, with the reasons for its determination. If the Bidder disagrees <br />with this determination, it may appeal the determination within two business days of the <br />City’s determination by presenting its appeal and any additional information to the City. <br />The City will consider the appeal and any additional information before issuing its final <br />determination. If the final determination affirms that the Bidder is not responsible, the <br />City will not execute a contract with any other Bidder until at least two business days <br />after the Bidder determined to be not responsible has received the City’s final <br />determination. <br />If the Contract Documents contain supplemental responsibility criteria, then a Bidder will <br />be deemed not responsible if the Bidder does not meet those criteria, all as set forth in <br />SECTION 00 2213 - SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS. <br />1-02.15 Pre-Award Information <br />Before awarding any contract, the City may require one or more of these items or actions <br />of the apparent lowest responsible Bidder: <br />1. A complete statement of the origin, composition, and manufacture of any or <br />all materials to be used, <br />2. Samples of these materials for quality and fitness tests, <br />3. A progress schedule, in a form the City requires, showing the order of and <br />time required for the various phases of the Work, <br />4. A breakdown of costs assigned to any bid item, <br />5. Attendance at a conference with the Engineer or representatives of the <br />Engineer, <br />6. Obtain, and furnish a copy of, a business license to do business in the City of <br />Everett. <br />7. A copy of State of Washington Contractor’s Registration, or <br />8. Any other information or action taken that is deemed necessary to ensure that <br />the Bidder is the lowest responsible bidder. <br />After Bid opening, but prior to award, the apparent successful Bidder shall, if requested <br />by the City, attend a pre-award conference to respond to questions by the City regarding <br />evaluation of Bids. The City will emphasize items such as insurance and bonding that <br />will assist in prompt issuance of the Notice to Proceed. By conducting a pre-award <br />conference, the City has not thereby waived its right to make determinations regarding <br />responsiveness and responsibility of the Bidder.
