A copy of State of Washington Contractor’s Registration, or 8. Any other information or action taken that is deemed necessary to ensure that the Bidder is the lowest responsible bidder. After Bid opening, but prior to award, the apparent successful Bidder shall, if requested by the City, attend a pre-award conference to respond to questions by the City regarding evaluation of Bids. The City will emphasize items such as insurance and bonding that will assist in prompt issuance of the Notice to Proceed. By conducting a pre-award conference, the City has not thereby waived its right to make determinations regarding responsiveness and responsibility of the Bidder. 1-03 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT 1-03.1 Consideration of Bids Bids will be evaluated by the City to determine which bid is the lowest responsive bid by a responsible bidder and which bid, if any, should be accepted in the best interest of the City. The right is reserved by the City to waive informalities in the bidding, accept a Bid of the lowest responsible Bidder, reject any or all Bids, republish the call for Bids, revise or cancel the Work, or require the Work to be done in another way if the best interest of the City is served. Within 5 days after the opening of Bids (or such longer time as the City may grant in writing), a Bidder who wishes to claim error shall submit a notarized affidavit signed by the Bidder, accompanied by original work sheets used in the preparation of the Bid, requesting relief from the responsibilities of Award. The affidavit shall describe the specific error(s) and certify that the work sheets are the originals used in the preparation of the Bid. The Engineer will review the certified work sheets to determine the validity of the claimed error and make recommendation to the City. If the City concurs in the claim of error, the Bidder will be relieved of responsibility, and the bid deposit of the Bidder will be returned. Thereafter, at the discretion of the City, all Bids may be rejected or Award made to next lowest and responsive Bidder. 1-03.1(2) Preference for Resident Contractors In accordance with RCW 39.04.380, if a Bid is received from a nonresident contractor from a state that provides a percentage bidding preference and does not have an office located in Washington, then a comparable percentage disadvantage will be applied to the Bid of that nonresident contractor. 1-03.1(3) Tie Bids After opening Bids, if two or more lowest responsive and responsible Bid totals are exactly equal, then the tie-breaker will be determined by drawing as described in this section. Two or more slips of paper will be marked as follows: one marked “Winner” and the other(s) marked “unsuccessful”. The slips will be folded to make the marking unseen. The slips will be placed inside a box. One authorized representative of each Bidder shall draw a slip from
