DocuSign Envelope ID:07A4359F-6D47-4987-B1F1-BF667ACBB3BA <br /> INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS <br /> The CONTRACT DOCUMENTS contain the provisions required for the construction of the <br /> PROJECT. Information obtained from an officer, agent, or employee of the OWNER or any other <br /> person shall not affect the risks or obligations assumed by the CONTRACTOR or relieve him <br /> from fulfilling any of the conditions of the contract. <br /> The party to whom the contract is awarded will be required to execute the Agreement <br /> within ten (10) calendar days from the date when NOTICE OF AWARD is delivered to the <br /> BIDDER. The NOTICE OF AWARD shall be accompanied by the necessary Agreement. In case of <br /> failure of the BIDDER to execute the Agreement, the OWNER may at his option consider the <br /> BIDDER in default. <br /> The OWNER within sixty (60) days of receipt of acceptable Agreement signed by the <br /> party to whom the Agreement was awarded shall sign the Agreement and return to such party <br /> an executed duplicate of the Agreement. Should the OWNER not execute the Agreement with <br /> such period, the BIDDER may by written notice withdraw his signed Agreement. Such notice of <br /> withdrawal shall be effective upon receipt of the notice by the OWNER. <br /> The NOTICE TO PROCEED shall be issued within sixty (60) days of the execution of the <br /> Agreement by the OWNER. Should there be reasons why the NOTICE TO PROCEED cannot be <br /> issued within such period, the time may be extended by mutual agreement between the <br /> OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If the NOTICE TO PROCEED has not been issued within the sixty <br /> (60) day period or within the period mutually agreed upon, the CONTRACTOR may terminate <br /> the Agreement without further liability on the part of either party. <br /> The OWNER may make such investigations as he deems necessary to determine the <br /> ability of the BIDDER to perform the work, and the BIDDER shall furnish to the OWNER all such <br /> information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request. The OWNER reserves the right <br /> to reject any BID if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such BIDDER fails to satisfy <br /> the OWNER that such BIDDER is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the Agreement <br /> and to complete the work contemplated therein. <br /> A conditional or qualified BID will not be accepted. <br /> Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible BIDDER unless all bids are <br /> rejected in accordance with the following: <br /> Basis of award will be the lowest total amount of the bids and/or alternative(s), inclusive, <br /> that the OWNER elects to accept. Where deducts for award of multiple contracts are <br /> offered by BIDDER, the contract award will be to the lowest responsive responsible <br /> bidder, on multiple contracts, or bidders on individual contracts, that results in the lowest <br /> overall cost of the OWNER. The OWNER reserves the right to award contracts to the <br /> lowest responsible, responsive bidder in the manner described above. <br /> Orange County Solid Waste Drainage Repairs 017055.0000.0000/DAA 2200365 <br /> Orange County, North Carolina December 2023 <br /> IFB -2 <br />
