Each bid shall be accompanied by a certified check, cash, check drawn by a New Hampshire bank, or bid

shall be ten percent (10%) of the total bid, made payable to the City of Concord, New Hampshire.
A NON-MANDATORY pre-bid informational meeting will be held at 1:00 PM on DECEMBER 13,
2022 at the City of Concord, City Hall, 2nd Floor Conference Room, 41 Green Street, Concord, NH

submit an invoice covering the total quantities of work that have been completed from the start of the job

Retainage: The CITY shall retain a portion of the progress payments, each month, in accordance with the
following procedures:
B14-23

Page 3 of 97
1. Until work is 50% complete, as determined by the CITY, retainage shall be 10% of the monthly
payments claimed. The computed amount of retainage shall be deposited in a non-interest-
bearing account established by the CITY.
2. After the work is 50% complete, and provided the Contractor has satisfied the CITY in quality
and timeliness of the work, and provided further that there is no specific cause for withholding
additional retainage no further amount shall be withheld.
3. Upon substantial completion, the amount of retainage shall be reduced to 2% of the total contract
price plus an additional retainage based on the CITY’s estimate of the fair value of the punch list
items and the cost of completing and/or correcting such items of work, with specified amounts for
each incomplete or defective item of work. As these items are completed or corrected, they shall
be paid out of the retainage until the entire project is declared completed. The final 2% retainage
shall be held, in the non-interest-bearing account, during the two year warranty period and
released only after the CITY has accepted the project.
Liquidated Damages: In the event that the Contractor fails to satisfactorily complete the work
contemplated and provided for under this contract, on or before the date of completion June 15, 2023, the
CITY shall deduct from the payments due the Contractor each month, the sum of eight hundred dollars
($800.00) plus engineering charges per day for each calendar day of delay, which sum is agreed upon
not as a penalty, but as fixed and liquidated damages for each day of such delay, to be paid in full and
subject to no deduction. If the payments due the Contractor are less than the amount of such liquidated
damages said damages shall be deducted from any other monies due or to become due the Contractor or
shall be paid by the Contractor’s surety.
The CITY reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof, to waive any formality,
informality, information and/or errors in the proposal, to accept the proposal considered to be in the best
interest of the CITY, or to purchase on the open market if it is considered in the best interest of the CITY
to do so.
Failure to submit all information as detailed on the Bid Submission Checklist and/or submission of an
unbalanced bid are sufficient reasons to declare a proposal as non-responsive and subject to
disqualification.
