Instructions to Bidders
1. Bidder Requirements
1.1 A bidder is a Contractor which is evidently qualified, or has been specifically pre-qualified by the
Bureau of General Services, to bid on the proposed project described in the Bid Documents.
1.2 Contractors and Subcontractors bidding on projects that utilize Filed Sub-bids shall follow the
requirements outlined in these Bid Documents for such projects. See Section 00 22 13 for
additional information.
1.3 Contractors and Subcontractors are not eligible to bid on the project when their access to project
design documents prior to the bid period distribution of documents creates an unfair bidding
advantage. Prohibited access includes consultation with the Owner or with design professionals
engaged by the Owner regarding cost estimating, constructability review, or project scheduling.
This prohibition to bid applies to open, competitive bidding or pre-qualified contractor bidding or
Filed Sub-bidding. The Bureau may require additional information to determine if the activities
of a Contractor constitute an unfair bidding advantage.
1.4 Each bidder is responsible for becoming thoroughly familiar with the Bid Documents prior to
submitting a bid. The failure of a bidder to review evident site conditions, to attend available pre-
bid conferences, or to receive, examine, or act on addenda to the Bid Documents shall not relieve
that bidder from any obligation with respect to their bid or the execution of the work as a
Contractor.
1.5 Prior to the award of the contract, General Contractor bidders or Filed Sub-bidders may be
required to provide documented evidence to the Owner or the Bureau showing compliance with
the provisions of this section, their business experience, financial capability, or performance on
previous projects.
1.6 The selected General Contractor bidder will be required to provide proof of insurance before a
contract can be executed.
1.7 Contracts developed from this bid shall not be assigned, sublet or transferred without the written
consent of the Owner.
1.8 By submitting a bid the Contractor attests that it has not been declared ineligible to bid on State of
Maine projects. The Director of the Bureau of General Services may disallow award of this
contract to any Contractor if there is evidence that the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors,
through their own fault, have been terminated, suspended for cause, debarred from bidding,
agreed to refrain from bidding as part of a settlement, have defaulted on a contract, or had a
contract completed by another party.
1.9 The Contractor attests that it is not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly
charged by a Federal, State or local government entity with commission of any of the following
offenses and has not within a three-year period preceding this bid been convicted of or had a civil
judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with
obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State or local) transaction, or
contract under a public transaction, violation of Federal or State anti-trust statutes or commission
of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false
statements, or receiving stolen property.

Instructions to Bidders
1.10 The Contractor shall not make any award or permit any award (subgrant or contract) at any tier to
any party which is debarred or suspended or is otherwise excluded from or ineligible for
participation in Federal assistance programs or State of Maine projects.
2. Authority of Owner
2.1 The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids as may best serve the interest of
the Owner.
2.2 Subject to the Owner's stated right to accept or reject any or all bids, the Contractor shall be
selected on the basis of the lowest dollar value of an acceptable Base Bid, or any combination of
Base Bid plus Alternate Bids, as well as other limited cost modifications the Owner determines
may best serve the interests of the Owner. An acceptable bid is a duly submitted bid from a
responsive and responsible bidder.
2.3 The Owner reserves the right to require Bid Bonds or Performance and Payment Bonds for any
project of any contract value.
3. Submitting Bids and Bid Requirements
3.1 Each bid shall be submitted on the forms provided in the Bid Documents.
3.2 Each bid shall be valid for a period of thirty calendar days following the Project bid closing date
and time. The bid expiration date may be extended in unusual circumstances by mutual consent
of the Bidder and the Owner. The bid amount shall not be modified due to the bid expiration date
extension.
3.3 Any provision contained in a bid which shows cost escalation, or any modification of schedule or
other requirements shall not be accepted. Such a provision causes the bid to be invalid, or, at the
discretion of the Owner and BGS, that element of the bid submission may be disregarded for the
purpose of awarding the contract without that provision.
3.4 Bidders shall include a Bid Bond or other approved bid security with the bid form submitted to
the Owner when the bid form indicates such bid security is required. The bond value shall be 5%
of the bid amount. The form of bond is shown in section 00 43 13.
3.5 Bidders recognize that inclusion of contract bonds and the cost of those bonds is dependent on the
awarded contract dollar value. Therefore, a Base Bid, or any combination of Base Bid plus
Alternate Bids, as well as other limited cost modifications, resulting in a contract award shall
include the cost of Performance and Payment Bonds in the submitted bid amount when the
construction contract value is over $125,000.00. Similarly, the cost of Performance and Payment
Bonds is excluded in the submitted bid amount when the construction contract value is
$125,000.00 or less unless bonds are specifically required by the Bid Documents. When required
for the project, the selected Contractor shall provide these bonds before a contract can be
executed, pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A., Section 871, Public Works Contractors' Surety Bond Law of
1971, subsection 3. The form of bonds is shown in section 00 61 13.13 and 00 61 13.16.

Instructions to Bidders
3.6 Bidders may modify bids in writing, by the same means as the original bid submission, prior to
the bid closing time. Such written amendments shall not disclose the amount of the initial bid. If
so disclosed, the entire bid is considered invalid.
3.7 Bidders implicitly acknowledge all Addenda issued when they submit the bid form. By usual
practice the Consultant shall not issue Addenda less than 72 hours prior to the bid closing time, to
allow ample time for bidders to incorporate the information. However, some information, such as
extending the bid due date and time, may be issued with shorter notice. Addenda shall be issued
to all companies who are registered holders of Bid Documents.
3.8 A bid may be withdrawn without penalty if a written request by the bidder is presented to the
Owner prior to the bid closing time. Such written withdrawal requests are subject to verification
as required by the Bureau.
A bid may be withdrawn without penalty after the bid closing time if, in the determination of the
Bureau, evidence provided by the Contractor shows an apparent unintended error such as a
miscalculation, or an erroneous number on estimating documents, was the cause of an inaccurate
bid. The Bureau may allow withdrawal in consideration of the bid bond or, without utilizing a
bid bond, if the Bureau considers documented evidence provided by the Contractor shows factual
errors had been made on the bid form.
3.9 In the event State of Maine Offices unexpectedly close on the published date of a public bid
opening in the location of that bid opening, prior to the time of the scheduled deadline, the new
deadline for the public bid opening will be the following business day at the originally scheduled
hour of the day, at the original location. Official closings are posted on the State of Maine
government website.
3.10 The Owner may require, in a Notice of Intent to Award letter to the apparent low bidder, a
Schedule of Values, Project Schedule, and List of Subcontractors and Suppliers as both a
demonstration of capability of the Bidder and as a condition of award.
3.11 Projects which require a State of Maine wage determination will include that schedule as part of
the Bid Documents. See section 00 73 46, if such rates are required.
3.12 Projects which require compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act are subject to the regulations
contained the Code for Federal Regulations and the federal wage determination which is made a
part of the Bid Documents. See section 00 73 46, if such rates are required.
3.13 The Owner is exempt from the payment of Maine State sales and use taxes as provided in 36
M.R.S. 1760 (1). The Contractor and Subcontractors shall not include taxes on exempt items in
the construction contract.
