SUBCONTRACTS AND SUBCONTRACTORS 10.1. The CMAR shall determine the appropriate bid packages based on the available resources. One or more bid packages shall be prepared for each of the general construction, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, and plumbing divisions of the Work of the Project. The CMAR shall prepare any other contract packages for other divisions or subdivisions of the Work. Each Subcontractor may be required by the CMAR to provide bonds and insurance, consistent with the terms of the RFQ. 10.2. First -tier Subcontractors shall be pre - qualified by the CMAR. Only pre - qualified Subcontractors are allowed to bid and contract with the CMAR on a Project. The CMAR and the Owner's Representative shall confer on the prequalification of lower tier subcontractors, and the CMAR shall decide whether to pre - qualify lower tier subcontractors after giving due regard to the Owner's MWBE goals. The prequalification criteria shall be determined jointly by the Owner, Project Designer and the CMAR to address quality, performance, time specified in the bids for performance of the Contract, the cost of construction oversight, time for completion, capacity to perform, and other factors deemed appropriate by the Owner. The CMAR shall publicly advertise as prescribed in G.S. 143 -129; and shall accept bids from first -tier Subcontractors for all construction Work and all General Conditions that are not being self - performed by the CMAR. All bids shall be opened publicly and once they are opened, shall be public record under Chapter 132 of the General Statutes. The CMAR shall award each contact to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder, taking into consideration the Owner's requirements, quality, performance, time specified in the bids for performance of the contract, the cost of construction oversight, time for completion, compliance with G.S. 143 -128.2 and other factors deemed appropriate by the Owner's Representative and advertised as part of the bid solicitation. If the low bid Subcontractor fails to account for all costs associated with the scope of the Work on which it is bidding, then the bid may be disqualified at the discretion of the CMAR or modified to show additional Project costs not accounted for. If after modification, the apparent low bid is no longer low, then the CMAR shall disqualify that bid and consider the next low bid submitted. The CMAR shall have the right as outlined above to verify the scope of each low bid in the same manner until it determines the lowest verified bid. 10.3. The CMAR shall conduct pre -bid meetings and award meetings for all contracts. The CMAR shall notify the Owner and Project Designer of each such meeting and shall not hold any such meeting without notification to the Owner and Project Designer. 10.4.
