Page 4 of 43 1.12 WAC RULE 458-20-171 (NOT USED) 1.13 BIDDING ERRORS The City of Everett will not be responsible for any errors in Contractor bids. Contractors will not be allowed to alter bids after the deadline for bid submission. The City of Everett reserves the right to make corrections or amendments due to errors identified in bids by the City of Everett or the Contractor. This type of correction or amendment will only be allowed for such errors as typing, transposition or any other obvious error. Contractors are liable for all errors or omissions contained in their bids. After receiving bids, the City of Everett will review and check each bid for correctness of extensions of the prices per unit and the total price. If a discrepancy exists between the price per unit and the extended amount of any bid item, the price per unit will control. The total of extensions, corrected where necessary, will be used by the City of Everett. When, after the opening of the bids a Contractor claims an error, and requests to be relieved of award, they will be required to promptly present certified work sheets. The Procurement Professional will review the work sheets and if the Procurement Professional is convinced that an honest, mathematically excusable error or critical omission of costs has been made, the Contractor may be relieved of their bid. 1.14 EXCLUDED PARTIES All Contractors must certify that they are not on the Comptroller General’s list of ineligible contractors nor the list of parties excluded from Federal procurement or non-procurement programs. https://www.sam.gov. 1.15 BUSINESS LICENSE The successful Contractor will be required to possess or be able to obtain a City of Everett Business License and pay City of Everett B & O Tax, when applicable.
