CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br />3rd Ave Water Quality Facility Division 1 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS September 20, 2024 <br />WO No – UP3775 SP – 45 <br /> <br />1-02.16 Grant Funding <br />Add 1-02.16 to read as follows: <br /> <br />It is anticipated that this project will be funded in part by the Washington State Department <br />of Ecology. Neither the State of Washington nor any of its departments or employees are, or <br />shall be, a party to any contract or any subcontract. <br /> <br />1-03 AWARD AND EXECUTION OF CONTRACT <br />1-03.1 Consideration of Bids <br />Revise the first paragraph to read: <br />After opening and reading Proposals, the City will check them for correctness of <br />extensions of the prices per unit and the total price. If a discrepancy exists between the <br />price per unit and the extended amount of any bid item, the price per unit will control. If <br />a minimum bid amount has been established for any item and the Bidder’s unit or lump <br />sum price is less than the minimum specified amount, the City will unilaterally revise the <br />unit or lump sum price to the minimum specified amount and recalculate the extension. <br />The total of extensions, corrected where necessary, including sales taxes where <br />applicable and such additives and/or alternates as selected by the City, will be used by <br />the City for Award purposes and to fix the awarded Contract Sum and the amount of the <br />Contract Bond(s). <br />Revise the third and fourth paragraphs of 1-03.1 to read as follows: <br />Within 5 days after the opening of Proposals (or such longer time as the City may grant <br />in writing), a Bidder who wishes to claim error shall submit a notarized affidavit signed <br />by the Bidder, accompanied by original work sheets used in the preparation of the <br />Proposal, requesting relief from the responsibilities of Award. <br />The affidavit shall describe the specific error(s) and certify that the work sheets are the <br />originals used in the preparation of the Proposal. The Engineer will review the certified <br />work sheets to determine the validity of the claimed error and make recommendation to <br />the City. If the City concurs in the claim of error, the Bidder will be relieved of <br />responsibility, and the bid deposit of the Bidder will be returned. Thereafter, at the <br />discretion of the City, all Bids may be rejected or Award made to next lowest and <br />responsive Bidder. <br />Supplement 1-03.1 by adding the following: <br />1-03.1(2) Preference for Resident Contractors <br />(******) <br />In accordance with RCW 39.04.380, if a Bid is received from a nonresident contractor <br />from a state that provides a percentage bidding preference and does not have an office <br />located in Washington, then a comparable percentage disadvantage will be applied to <br />the Bid of that nonresident contractor. <br />1-03.2 Award of Contract <br />Revise 1-03.2 to read as follows: <br />Within 45 days after the opening of Bids, the City will act either to accept the Bid from <br />the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder, or to reject all Bids. The City reserves the <br />right to request extensions of such Bid acceptance period. If the lowest responsible <br />Bidder and the City cannot agree on an extension by the 45 day deadline, the City
