The DISTRICT invites bids on the form attached to be submitted at the time and place

stated in the Notice Inviting Bids. Bids shall be submitted on the prescribed Bid forms,

completed in full. All bid items and statements shall be properly filled out. Numbers

shall be stated both in words and in figures where so indicated, and where there is a

conflict in the words and the figures, the words shall govern. The signatures of all

persons signing the bid shall be in longhand. Prices, wording and notations must be in

ink or typewritten. Erasures or other changes shall be noted over by signature of the

bidder.

2. Form and Delivery of Bids

The bid shall be made on the Bidding Schedule provided, and the complete bid,

together with any and all additional materials as required by the Contract Documents,

shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope, addressed and delivered or mailed to the

Purchasing Department of the District, mailing address: 12219 Second Avenue,

Victorville CA 92395, and must be received on or before the time set forth in the Notice

Inviting Bids for the bid deadline. The envelope shall be plainly marked with the name

of bidder and the name of the bid. It is the bidder's sole responsibility to ensure that its

bid is received prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. In accordance with

Government Code Section 53068, any bid received after the scheduled closing time for

receipt of bids shall be returned to the bidder unopened. At the time set forth in the

Notice Inviting Bids for the opening of bids the sealed bids will be opened and read

aloud at the DISTRICT's office.

3. Signature

Bid must be signed in the name of the bidder and must bear the signature in longhand

of the person or persons duly authorized to sign on behalf of the bidder, and must be in

permanent ink.

4. Modifications

Changes in or additions to the bid form, recapitulations of the work bid upon,

alternative proposals, or any other modification of the bid form which is not specifically

called for in the contract documents may result in the District's rejection of the bid as

not being responsive to the invitation to bid.

5. Erasures, Inconsistent Bids

The bid submitted must not contain any erasures, interlineations, or other corrections

unless each such correction creates no inconsistency and is suitably authenticated by

affixing in the margin immediately opposite the correction the signature or signatures of

the person or persons signing the bid. In the event of inconsistency between words and

figures in the bid price, words shall control figures. In the case of an error in an

extension, the unit price upon which the extension is based shall take precedence. In

the event the DISTRICT determines that any bid is unintelligible, inconsistent or

ambiguous, the DISTRICT may reject such bid as not being responsive to the invitation

to bid.

6. Withdrawal of Bids

Any bid may be withdrawn, either personally, by written request, or by telegraphic

request confirmed in the manner specified above for bid modifications, at any time prior

to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. All requests for bid withdrawal must be

accompanied with a power-of-attorney or other proof acceptable to the DISTRICT

which authorizes the individual requesting the bid withdrawal to so act on behalf of the

bidder. After close of bid, and only for bids awarded by line item, any bidder awarded

less than five (5) line items may withdraw entire bid either personally, by written

request, or by telegraphic request confirmed in the manner specified above for bid

modifications, up to three (3) days after award of bid. District reserves the right to

award line items of such withdrawn bids to the next lowest, responsible and responsive

bidder.

7. Agreement

Proposed Agreement which the successful bidder will be required to execute is included

in the contract documents and should be carefully examined by the bidder.

8. Interpretation of Plans and Documents

If any person contemplating submitting a bid for the proposed project is in doubt as to

the true meaning of any part of the drawing, specifications or other contract

documents, or finds discrepancies in, or omissions from the drawings, specification or

documents, he may submit to the District’s Purchasing Manager a written request for an

interpretation or correction thereof. Requests for clarification or explanation of the

Contract submitted to DISTRICT no later than the seventh calendar day preceding the

date set for submission of bids. The person submitting the request will be responsible

for its delivery. Any interpretation or correction will be made only by addendum duly

issued and a copy of such addendum will be delivered to each person receiving a set of

the contract documents.

9. Bidders Interested in More Than One Bid

No person, firm, or corporation shall be allowed to make, or file, or be interested in

more than one bid for the same work unless alternate bids are specifically called for. A

person, firm or corporation that has submitted a sub-proposal to a bidder, or that has

quoted prices of materials to a bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-

proposal or quoting prices to other bidders or making a prime proposal.

10. Award of Contract

District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, or to waive any irregularities or

informalities in any bids or in the bidding. The award of the contract(s), if made by the

District, will be to the lowest responsible bidder therefor from among those bidders

responsive to the call for bids. If two identical low bids are received from responsible

bidders, the DISTRICT will determine which bid will be accepted pursuant to Public

Contract Code 20117. District realizes that conditions other than price are important

and may award based on individual items bid, or any combination of individual items, or

upon a cumulative total of all items bid; whichever method is determined to be in its

best interests and can be awarded on an all or nothing basis; may reject any or all bids,

any part of a bid, or may waive any informality in a bid.

11. Alternates

If alternate bids are called for, the contract may be awarded at the election of the

Governing Board to the lowest responsible bidder on the base bid, or on the base bid

and any alternate or combination of alternates.

12. Competency of Bidders

In selecting the lowest responsible bidder, consideration will be given not only to the

financial standing but also to the general competency of the bidder for the performance

of the Work covered by the bid. By submitting a bid, each bidder agrees that the

DISTRICT, in determining the successful bidder and its eligibility for the award, may

consider the bidder's experience and facilities, conduct and performance under other

contracts, financial condition, reputation in the industry, and other factors which could

affect the bidder's performance of the Work. To this end, each bid shall be supported

by a statement of the bidder's experience as of the recent date on the form entitled

"INFORMATION REQUIRED OF BIDDER," bound herein.

13. Forfeiture for Failure to Execute Contract

In the event the bidder to whom an award is made fails or refuses to execute the

contract within five calendar days from the date receiving notification that he is the

bidder to whom the contract is awarded, District may award the work to the next

lowest bidder, or may call for new bids.
