written request to the County for an interpretation or correction of any ambiguity, in consistency or error
therein which could be discovered by a bidder. At the bid opening each bidder shall be presumed to have
read and be familiar with the contract documents.
11. BID EVALUATION
a. Each Bid timely received and in the County's hands at the time set forth for the Bid opening shall
constitute an offer to perform the Agreement on the terms and conditions thereof, in strict accordance with the
Agreement documents, and all other requirements, all for the Bid total. For good cause and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by submittal of a Bid, each Bidder promises and
agrees that its Bid shall be irrevocable for a period of sixty calendar days after the Bid opening and will not be
withdrawn or modified during that time. The County may accept any Bid by giving the Bidder Written Notice of
acceptance during that time. If necessary, the period of time specified may be extended by written agreement
between the County and the Bidder or Bidders concerned.
b. After the Bids have been opened and before any award is made, the County will evaluate the Bid
process, the Bid total, the supplements to the Bid form, Bidder's experience, proposed Subcontractors and
equipment manufacturers and other data relating to Bidders' responsibility and qualifications to perform the
Agreement satisfactorily.
5 | P a g e

c. All extension of the unit prices shown, and the subsequent addition of extended amounts may be verified
by the County. In the event of a discrepancy between the unit price bid and the extension, the unit price will be
deemed intended by the Bidder and the extension shall be adjusted. In the event of a discrepancy between the
sum of the extended amounts and the bid total, the sum of the extended amounts shall govern.
d. Bidder may be required to submit, in writing, the addresses of any proposed Subcontractors or
Equipment manufacturers listed on the Bid, and to submit other material information relative to proposed
Subcontractors or Equipment manufacturers. The County reserves the right to disapprove any proposed
Subcontractor or Equipment manufacturers whose technical or financial ability or resources or whose
experience are deemed inadequate.
e. The County reserves the right to reject any Bid the prices of which appear to be unbalanced, and to
reject any or all Bids, or parts thereof, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such rejection is in the best
interest of the County. Where only a single responsible and responsive Bid is received, the County may in its
sole discretion, elect to conduct a price or cost analysis of the Bid. Such Bidder shall cooperate with such
analysis and provide such supplemental information as may be required. The determination whether to enter
into an Agreement with such sole Bidder shall be solely within the County's discretion and not dependent upon
performance of a price or cost analysis.
f. Bids will be evaluated on the basis of determining the lowest Bid total of a Bidder, not including
alternates, whose Bid is responsive to the Invitation to Bid and who is determined to be technically, financially
and otherwise responsible to perform the Agreement satisfactorily, and to meet all other requirements of the
Bidding Documents relating thereto. Any Bid may be rejected if it is determined by the County to be non-
responsive, provided, however, that the Commission reserves the right to waive any irregularities or
technicalities which it determines, within its sole discretion, to be minor in nature and in the interest of the
public. Furthermore, any Bid may be rejected if it is determined by the County, in its sole discretion, that the
Bidder is not capable of performing the Agreement satisfactorily based upon review of its experience and
technical and financial capabilities, or the failure of such bidder to provide information requested relating to
such determination. Additionally, the County reserves the right to disqualify Bids, before and after the bid
opening, upon evidence of collusion with intent to defraud or other illegal practices upon the part of any
Bidder(s).
g. The County intends to award the Agreement at the earliest practicable date to the lowest responsive,
responsible Bidder(s), provided that the Bid is within the funds available for the project. In addition, the County
reserves the right to reject all Bids if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the public interest will be best
served by doing so.
h. A Pre-award Conference may be conducted with the apparent low Bidder(s) to review general
requirements of the Bidding Documents.
12. AWARD CRITERIA
Award will be made after evaluating the prices, responsiveness and responsibility of each Bidder.
A. Responsiveness: The determination of responsiveness will be determined by the following:

b. Whether the bidder has submitted a complete Bid form without irregularities, excisions, special
conditions, or alternative bids for any item unless specifically requested in the Bid form.
