CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS Within 5 days after the opening of Proposals, 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 Proposal, 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 Proposal. 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(1) Identical Bid Totals (January 4, 2016 APWA GSP) Revise to read as follows: After opening Bids, if two or more lowest responsive Bid totals are exactly equal, then the tie-breaker will be the Bidder with an equal lowest bid, which proposed to use the highest percentage of recycled materials in the Project, per the form submitted with the Bid Proposal. If those percentages are also exactly equal, then the tie-breaker will be determined by drawing as follows: 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 the box. Bidders shall draw in alphabetic order by the name of the firm as registered with the Washington State Department of Licensing. The slips shall be unfolded and the firm with the slip marked "Winner" will be determined to be the successful Bidder and eligible for Award of the Contract. Only those Bidders who submitted a Bid total that is exactly equal to the lowest responsive Bid, and with a proposed recycled materials percentage that is exactly equal to the highest proposed recycled materials amount, are eligible to draw. Supplement 1-03.1 by adding the following: 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. 1-03.2 Award of Contract Revise 1-03.2 to read as follows: Within 45 days after the opening of Bids, the City will act either to accept the Bid from the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder, or to reject all Bids. The City reserves the right to request extensions of such Bid acceptance period. If the lowest responsible Bidder and the City cannot agree on an extension by the 45 day deadline, the City reserves the right to award the Contract to the next lowest responsible Bidder or reject all Bids. The acceptance of a Bid will be evidenced by a written Notice of Award of Contract delivered in person or by certified mail to the Bidder whose Bid is accepted, together with a request to furnish a Contract Bond and evidence of insurance and to execute the Contract set forth in the Contract Documents.
