2. EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND WORK SITE BY BIDDER
The Bidder shall, before submitting its Bid, carefully examine the plans, specifications, contract documents, Bid, and
bond and insurance requirements and visit the site to verify conditions under which work will be performed. Each
Bidder is responsible for reading the bid documents and familiarizing itself with all requirements. Failure of a Bidder to
do so shall not relieve the Bidder of any obligation with respect to said bid. If the Bidder's bid is accepted, it shall be
responsible for, and the City will make no allowance for any errors in their Bid resulting from its failure or neglect to
comply with these instructions.
3. QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDER
The City may take any action deemed necessary to investigate the qualifications of each Bidder. The City reserves the
right to qualify or disqualify Bidders as a result of lack of similar project experience and/or any other information
obtained from the project reference form, references listed thereon, or publicly available information. Bidders must
also demonstrate that they have sufficient resources (i.e. capital, laborers, sub-contractors, etc.) to accomplish all tasks
required within the schedule for the contract. In the event there are additional eligibility requirements described in the
Special Conditions or Specifications, such requirements shall be supplemental to and not in limitation of this provision.
4. PREPARATION OF BID
The Bidder shall prepare their Bid on the attached Bid Form or alternatively include all required information in the
Bidder's proposal package if a Bid Form is not included. Unless otherwise stated, all blank spaces on the Bid page(s),
applicable to the subject specification, must be correctly filled in. Either a unit price or a lump sum price, as the case
may be, must be stated for each item, either typed in or written in ink, in figures, and, if required, in words. In the event
of an error on the Bid page in which there is a conflict between the unit price and the extended price or the total bid
price, the City may exercise its reasonable discretion to ascertain the actual price of the bid.
If the Bidder is a corporation, the President and Secretary shall execute the Bid, and the Corporate Seal shall be affixed.
In the event that the Bid is executed by an officer other than the President, sufficient evidence of such signatory's
authority shall be submitted. If the Bidder is a partnership, majority owning partners or general partners shall execute
the Bid, unless one partner has been authorized to sign for the partnership, in which case sufficient evidence of such

officer has been authorized to sign for the company, in which case sufficient evidence of such authority shall be
submitted.
Each Bid must contain all required certifications and signatures. In addition, if any addenda are issued by the City, the
Bidder shall be required to acknowledge receipt of the formal addendum on the Bid form or proposal, as applicable.
Failure of a Bidder to acknowledge any of the addenda issued or submit essential required documents contained in the
solicitation shall deem its bid non-responsive; provided, however, that the City in reliance upon its home rule powers,
may choose to waive this requirement if the City determines from the context of the Bid that the Bidder has considered
the terms and conditions of the addendum.
The Bid submitted must not contain erasures, interlineations, or other corrections unless each correction is suitably
authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately opposite the correction the surname or surnames of the person or
persons signing the bid.

All prospective Bidders shall submit their Bid in the manner specified in the Notice to Bidders by the specified due date
and time of the bid. Bids received beyond the date and hour set for the bid opening will not be considered.
Submission of a bid will be considered presumptive evidence that the Bidder has visited the sites and is conversant with
local facilities and difficulties, the requirements of the documents and of pertinent State or Local Codes, the state of
Labor and Material Markets, and has made due allowance in the bid for all contingencies. Include in bid all costs of

bids. However, no Bidder shall withdraw, cancel or modify their Bid for a period of sixty (60) calendar days after the

Federal Government or the State of Illinois, then the Bidder shall not withdraw, cancel or modify their Bid for a period
of ninety (90) calendar days after the specified closing time for the receipt of bids.
7. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS
No Bid will be accepted from or contract awarded to any person, firm or corporation that is in arrears or is in default to
the City of Park Ridge upon any debt or contract, or that is a defaulter, as surety or otherwise, upon any obligation to
the City, or had failed to perform faithfully any previous contract with the City. The Bidder, if requested, shall present
within 48 hours evidence satisfactory to the City of performance ability and possession of necessary facilities, pecuniary
resources and adequate insurance to comply with the terms of these specifications and contract documents.
Each Bidder shall submit where necessary, or when requested by the Procurement Officer, catalogs, descriptive
literature or detailed drawings fully detailing features, designs, construction, appointments, finishes and the like not
covered in the specifications, necessary to fully describe the material or work they propose to furnish.
The City of Park Ridge reserves the right to disregard any informality in the bids and bidding, to waive technicalities, or
to reject any and all bids when, in the opinion of the City Council, the best interest of the City will be served by such
action.
8. ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS
The City will accept one of the bids or reject all bids within sixty (60) calendar days, or within ninety (90) calendar days
where approval by other agencies is required, from the date of opening of bids, unless the successful Bidder, upon
request of the City, extends the time of acceptance to the City. The contract will be awarded based on the City's
independent assessment of the bid by reference to the evaluation criteria described in the bid solicitation. Where no
evaluation criteria are specified, the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose
bid is most favorable to the City's interests. The City may rely on any information presented in the bid and any publicly
available information to assess the qualifications, responsiveness and responsibility of a bid.
In addition to price, the City may consider: (1) compliance with bid and contract requirement including bonds and
insurance; (2) ability, capacity, and skill to perform; (3) adequacy of facilities, equipment, materials, financial resources,
2

organization, and staffing; (4) character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency; (5) quality of past
performance; (6) compliance with past contracts and applicable laws; (7) ability to provide future maintenance and
service; (8) conditions or exceptions placed on the bid.
9. INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Any Bidder in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the specifications and contract documents may submit to the
Procurement Officer a written request for an interpretation thereof by the deadline described in the Notice to Bidders.
No oral comments will be made to any Bidder as to the meaning of the General or Special Conditions or any other
contract documents and any inadvertently made are hereby disclaimed and void. The person submitting the request
shall be responsible for its prompt delivery. Questions received after the deadline described in the Notice to Bidders
cannot be considered. Such interpretation will be made only in the form of a written addendum duly issued by
Procurement Officer. A copy of such addendum will be posted on the City's website and DemandStar. Failure on the
part of the prospective Bidder to receive a written interpretation prior to the time of the opening of bids will not be
grounds for withdrawal of their Bid. The Bidder shall acknowledge receipt of each addendum issued.
Addenda may modify or interpret the Bidding Documents and will become part of the Contract Documents when the
Contract is executed. Subsequent addenda shall govern over prior addenda only to the extent specified.
Any references in these specifications to manufacturer's name, trade name, or catalog number (unless otherwise
specified) is intended to be descriptive but not restrictive and only to indicate articles or materials that will be
satisfactory. Bids on other makes and catalogs will be considered, provided each Bidder clearly states on the face of
their Bid exactly what is proposed to be furnished. Unless so stated in the Bid, it shall be understood that the Bidder
intends to furnish the item specified and does not propose to furnish an "equal". The City hereby reserves the right to
approve as an equal, or to reject as not being an equal, any article the Bidder proposes to furnish which contains minor
or major variations from specification requirements.
10. CHANGES:
Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/33E-9) requires that aggregate changes in excess of $25,000 or aggregate extensions greater
than one hundred eighty (180) days must comply with the Criminal Code. Likewise, Illinois law (50 ILCS 525/5)
expresses for a change order that authorizes or necessitates any increase in the contract price that is 50% or more of
the original contract price or that authorizes or necessitates any increase in the price of a subcontract under the
contract that is 50% or more of the original subcontract price, then the portion of the contract that is covered by the
change order must be resubmitted for bidding in the same manner for which the original contract was bid. Upon
approval, the Procurement Officer shall issue to the successful contractor a written change order to the original
contract; such change orders shall be binding upon both parties thereto and shall in no way invalidate or make void the
terms of the original contract not modified by such change.
11. FAIR EMPLOYMENT
Bidder's signature on the Bid Form will be construed as acceptance of and willingness to comply with all provisions of
the acts of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois relating to wages of laborers and discrimination and
intimidation of employees. Provisions of said acts are herein incorporated by reference and become a part of this Bid
and Specifications
12. DRUG FREE WORKPLACE ACT
