Part A:4
NOTICE CONCERNING PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSES
The Idaho Law requires that prime contractors, subcontractors, and specialty contractors alike must hold
licenses as "Public Works Contractors" before submitting bids on public works projects.
The only exception to the basic rule is that a bidder on a project that is to be financed by a direct federal
grant-in-aid program need not hold a license to bid, however, he must obtain a license PRIOR to the
AWARD on any contract or subcontract or the performance of any work. (Use of federal "revenue sharing"
funds does not, however, qualify a project as being financed in whole or in part by a direct federal grant-in-
aid program.)
Some projects may attract general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty contractors from outside the
state who may not be familiar with Idaho licensing requirements. In these instances, it is especially
important that reasonable steps be taken to ensure that all prospective bidders be made aware of licensing
requirements before the bid opening. The following list of agency references is included for the general
information of all interested parties.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
HEADINGS: Headings used in these Instructions are for convenience only.
REJECTION OF BIDS, WAIVER OF INFORMALITIES OR CANCELLATION: Prior to the effective date of
a contract, Idaho Transportation Department shall have the right to accept or reject all bids, to waive
any minor deviations/informalities or to cancel the bid.
ORAL INFORMATION: Questions concerning a bid must be directed in writing to the designated Design
Professional (architect or engineer) or Construction Manager no less than seven (7) calendar days before
bids are due unless provided otherwise via an addendum. Oral information is not binding and any reliance
by a bidder on any oral information or representation is at the bidder's sole risk. Any information given a
prospective bidder in response to a written question will be provided to all prospective bidders by an
addendum, if such information is necessary for purposes of submitting a bid or if failure to give such
information would be prejudicial to uninformed bidders.
PUBLIC RECORDS: The Idaho Public Records Law, Sections 9-337 through 9-348, Idaho Code, allows
the open inspection and copying of public records. Public records include any writing containing information
relating to the conduct or administration of the public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by a
State or local agency regardless of the physical form or character. Unless exempted by the Public Records
Law, your bid will be a public record subject to disclosure under the Public Records Law. Any questions
regarding the applicability of the Public Records Law should be addressed to your legal counsel prior to
submission.
FORM OF AGREEMENT: Unless otherwise specified in the bid documents, the agreement between the
successful bidder and the Owner ("Idaho Transportation Department") shall be the AIA A132 - 2019
Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor (CM Company as Adviser/Owner of Agent).
PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS: A performance bond and payment bond are required for this
Project, each in an amount of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price. The
performance and payment bonds shall be a standard surety form certified approved to be the same as the
AIA A312 form and shall be executed by a surety or sureties reasonably acceptable to the Owner and
authorized to do business in the State of Idaho. Bonds must be provided within ten (10) calendar days
following receipt of a Notice of Intent to Award.
BID SUBMISSION PROCESS
BID DOCUMENTS: The bid documents are available from the Design Professional or as provided in the
Invitation to Bid or advertisement for bids. The responsibility is on the bidder to use a complete set of bid
documents to prepare its bid and neither the Owner nor the Design Professional shall incur any liability for
the bidder's failure to do so. Bidders obtain no ownership interest or any use rights, except to use in
preparation of their bid, by issuance of the bid documents.
Bidders and Sub-bidders shall field verify all dimensions pertaining to the Work and shall be responsible for the
determination of all quantities of materials required for the completion of the Work. The bidder shall not rely on
the scale drawings of the Bidding Documents in his determination of required materials quantities. No
allowance shall be made for Bidder's failure to field-verify dimensions.
ADDENDA: In the event it becomes necessary to revise any part of the bid documents, addenda will be
issued. Information given to one bidder will be available to all other bidders if such information is necessary
for purposes of submitting a bid or if failure to give such information would be prejudicial to uninformed
bidders. It is the bidder's responsibility to check for addenda prior to submitting a bid. A bidder is required
ITD D2 Lewiston POE Building Replacement A:5 Instructions to Bidders
Page 1 of 6

Part A:5
to acknowledge receipt of all addenda by identifying the addenda numbers in the space provided on the
bid proposal form. Failure to do so may result in the bid being declared non-responsive. No addenda will
be issued less than four (4) calendar days before the closing date unless the bid closing date is extended.
REVIEW: It is the bidder's responsibility to review the bid documents and compare them as needed,
including with regard to any other work that is or may be under construction that might affect the bidder or
its work, to examine the site and local conditions and to report, in writing, any questions, errors,
inconsistencies or ambiguities to the Design Professional.
PRODUCTS SPECIFIED AND PROPOSED SUBSTITUTIONS: Materials, products, or equipment, if
specified by name or manufacturer, establish the standard of quality required and that must be met by any
proposed substitution. Requests for substitutions must be made in writing to the Design Professional no
less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the bid closing unless provided otherwise via an addendum. Such
requests must provide detailed information to allow the Design Professional to determine if the proposed
substitution is acceptable, including drawings or performance or test data and a detailed statement of how
the substitution would change any other part of the Work. It is the bidder's obligation to satisfy this
requirement and the Design Professional's decision shall be final. To be allowed, substitutions must be
approved in an addendum to the bid documents.
BID FORM: Bids must be submitted on the bid proposal forms, or copies of forms, furnished by the Owner
or the Design Professional. Bids submitted must contain an original signature in ink. The person signing
the bid must initial any and all changes appearing on any bid form. If the bidder is a corporation or other
legal entity, the bid form must be signed by an authorized designee.
BID PRICES: The bid form may require bidders to submit bid prices for one (1) or more items on various
bases, including lump sum base bid, lump sum bid alternate prices, unit prices or any combination thereof.
Bid amounts shall be expressed in words and numbers. The amount in words shall prevail if there is a
discrepancy.
ALTERNATES: If the solicitation includes alternate bid items or unit prices, failure to bid on the alternates
or unit prices may disqualify the bid. If bidding on an alternate does not change the base bid, indicate by
"No Change." If bidding on all items is not required by the Contract Documents, bidders must affirmatively
indicate that they are not bidding on those items.
TIME FOR SUBMISSION: Bids must be submitted on or before the time specified in the advertisement for
bids. Any bid submitted late will be rejected.
EMAIL BIDS: Bids are to be submitted via email to ITD, Travis Frei at Travis.Frei@itd.idaho.gov.
BID CLOSING DECLARED: Immediately prior to the bid opening, the Owner's representative will declare
the official bid closing. Any part of a bid not received prior to the bid closing declared by the designated
representative will not be considered and will be returned to the bidder unopened. All bids shall be taken
under advisement.
DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE: Along with its bid, the bidder shall submit an affidavit certifying compliance
with Title 72, Chapter 17, Idaho Code, requiring the Contractor and its subcontractors at the time of bid to
provide a drug-free workplace program and to maintain such program throughout the duration of the
Contract. The form of affidavit is attached.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 2009-10: Bidder shall prepare and submit its bid based on compliance with Executive
Order 2009-10 (http://gov.idaho.gov/mediacenter/execorders/eo09/eo_2009_10.html) and shall warrant
that the bidder does not knowingly hire or engage any illegal aliens or persons not authorized to work in the
United States; bidder shall take steps to verify that it does not hire or engage any illegal aliens or persons
not authorized to work in the United States; and that any misrepresentation in this regard or any employment
ITD D2 Lewiston POE Building Replacement A:5 Instructions to Bidders
Page 2 of 6

Part A:5
of persons not authorized to work in the United States constitutes a material breach and shall be cause for
the imposition of monetary penalties and/or termination of any Contract resulting from this bid.
LEGAL RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT: By submitting a bid, the bidder attests, under penalty of perjury,
that he (the bidder) is a United States citizen or legal permanent resident or that it is otherwise lawfully
present in the United States pursuant to federal law. Prior to being issued a contract, the bidder will be
required to submit proof of lawful presence in the United States in accordance with 67-7903, Idaho Code.
PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE: This Project is not financed in whole or in part by federal
funds. Bids will be accepted from those Contractors only (prime contractors, subcontractors and/or specialty
contractors) who, prior to the bid opening, hold current licenses as public works contractors in the State of
Idaho.
NAMING OF SUBCONTRACTORS: Section 67-2310, Idaho Code, requires general (prime) Contractors
to include in their bid the name of the subcontractors who shall, in the event the Contractor secures the
Contract, subcontract the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work under the general (prime) Contract.
Failure to name subcontractors as required by this section shall render any bid submitted by a general
(prime) Contractor nonresponsive and void. Subcontractors named in accordance with the provisions of
this section must possess an appropriate license or certificate of competency issued by the State of Idaho
covering the Contractor work classification in which the subcontractor is named.
Section 67-2310, Idaho Code, means three (3) separate areas of work: plumbing work, HVAC, and
electrical work and the general (prime) Contractor to name the entity that will perform the Work, including
if the entity is a subcontractor, a sub-subcontractor or the general (prime) Contractor submitting the bid.
Failure to complete the Bid Proposal in full shall render a bid nonresponsive and void.
With regard to possessing an appropriate license or certificate of competency, all subcontractors listed by
the general (prime) Contractor must have at the time of the bid opening a current license in the appropriate
category (class, type and specialty category) as issued by the Public Works Contractors State License
Board. In addition, plumbing, HVAC and electrical subcontractors shall have at the time of the bid opening
a valid plumbing contractor's license, HVAC contractor's license or electrical contractor's license,
respectively, as issued by the Idaho Division of Building Safety.
In determining if the above listed subcontractors are required on the Project, the Construction Manager will
refer to the plans and specifications. If doubt exists prior to bid closing, potential bidders should contact the
Construction Manager and the Design Professional who prepared the plans and specifications will be
requested to make the determination. If plumbing, HVAC or electrical work are not shown on the plans and
specifications, but are discovered by the bidder prior to the date of bid opening, then the bidder must request
clarification from the Design Professional. Absent such clarification, Work will be considered incidental and
naming of a subcontractor will not be required.
BID SECURITY
AMOUNT AND FORM OF SECURITY: N/A
FORFEITURE: A successful bidder who fails to sign the Contract for the Work or furnish the required bonds
within ten (10) calendar days following the receipt of notice of intent to award a Contract is subject to
forfeiture in accordance with Section 54-1904E, Idaho Code.
RETENTION OF SECURITY: N/A
BID WITHDRAWAL
PRIOR TO BID CLOSING: If a bid has been submitted, it may be withdrawn in person by a bidder's

APPLICABLE LAW.
RELIEF FROM BIDS
CONDITIONS FOR RELIEF: Relief from bids is subject to Sections 54-1904B through 54-1904E, Idaho
Code. In the event a bidder discovers a mistake in its bid following the bid opening and wishes to withdraw
its bid, the bidder shall establish to the satisfaction of the Owner, pursuant to Section 54-1904C, Idaho
Code, that a clerical or mathematical mistake was made; the bidder gave the public entity (Owner) written
notice within five (5) calendar days after the opening of the bid of the mistake, specifying in the notice in
detail how the mistake occurred; and the mistake was material.
DETERMINATION: If the Owner determines that the bidder has satisfied the requirements of Section 54-
1904C, Idaho Code, to entitle it to relief from a bid because of a mistake, it shall prepare a report in writing
to document the facts establishing the existence of each required element. The report shall be available for
inspection as a public record and shall be filed with the public entity soliciting bids. A bidder claiming a
mistake and satisfying all the required conditions of Section 54-1904C, Idaho Code, shall be entitled to
relief from the bid and have any bid security returned by the Owner. Bidders not satisfying the conditions
of Section 54-1904C, Idaho Code shall be subject to forfeiture in accordance with Section 54-1904B, Idaho
Code. A bidder who claims a mistake or who forfeits its bid security shall be prohibited from participating in
any re-bidding of that project on which the mistake was claimed or security forfeited and the Owner may
award the Contract to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
BIDDER'S REPRESENTATIONS

the following:
1. The person signing the bid is authorized to bind the bidder;
2. It has all required licenses, permits or other authorizations necessary to submit its bid;

and conditions of the ground; and (v) the character of equipment and facilities needed preliminary
to and during the Work;
4. It has satisfied itself as to character, quality and quantity of surface and subsurface materials or
obstacles to be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably ascertainable from an
inspection of the site, including exploratory work done by the Owner as well as from the drawings
and specifications provided as part of the bid package, and that any failure of the bidder to take
such actions will not relieve the bidder from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and
cost of successfully performing the Work;

Page 4 of 6

Part A:5
5. It has received, read and reviewed the Contract, has submitted any questions in writing regarding

7. It is in compliance with Title 72, Chapter 17, Idaho Code, regarding a drug-free workplace and has

9. It will hold and honor all base bid prices for sixty (60) calendar days from the date of bid opening,

10. Its bid prices shown for each item on the bid proposal form include all labor, material, equipment,
overhead and compensation to complete all of the Work for that item; and
11. It has included in its bid amount Idaho sales and/or use taxes on all materials and equipment and

BID AWARD
AWARD METHOD: Public works construction contracts for the State of Idaho are awarded to the "lowest
responsible and responsive bidder." The low bidder, for purposes of award, shall be the responsible and
responsive bidder offering the low aggregate amount for the base bid item, plus any additive or deductive
bid alternates selected by the Owner, and within funds available as determined by the Owner. Award is
also subject to the requirements of Idaho Code, including without limitation: Title 67, Chapter 57; Title 67,
Chapter 23; Title 54, Chapter 19; and Title 44, Chapter 10. It is the bidder's responsibility to conform to ALL
applicable federal, state and local statutes or other applicable legal requirements. The information provided
herein is intended to assist bidders in meeting applicable requirements but is not exhaustive and the Owner
will not be responsible for any failure by any bidder to meet applicable requirements.
DETERMINATION OF RESPONSIBILITY: The Owner reserves the right to make reasonable inquiry about
or from the submitting bidder or from third parties to determine the responsibility of a submitting bidder.
Such inquiry may include, but not be limited to, inquiry regarding experience and expertise related to the
Project, manpower and other resources, financial stability, credit ratings, references, potential
subcontractors and past performance. The unreasonable failure of a submitting bidder to promptly supply
any requested information may result in a finding of non-responsibility.
NOTICE OF EFFECTIVENESS: No Contract is effective until the authorized Owner's official has signed
the Contract and the Notice to Proceed has been issued. The bidder shall not provide any goods or render
services until the Contract has been signed by the Administrator of Idaho Transportation Department and
the Contract has become effective. Furthermore, the Owner is in no way responsible for reimbursing the
bidder for goods provided or services rendered prior to the signature of the Idaho Transportation
Department's official and the arrival of the Notice to Proceed.
INCURRING COSTS: The Owner is not liable for any cost incurred by bidders prior to the Notice to Proceed.
PRIOR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE BIDS OR PROPOSALS: The Owner generally will not completely
review or analyze bids that appear to fail to comply with the requirements of the bid documents, nor will the
Owner generally investigate the references or qualifications of those who submit such bids. Therefore, any
acknowledgment that the selection is complete shall not operate as a representation by the Owner that an
unsuccessful bid was responsive, complete, sufficient or lawful in any respect.
POST-AWARD SUBMITTALS: Upon receipt of a Notice of Intent to Award, the apparent low responsive
and responsible bidder shall provide documentation required in such Notice. Such Notice of Intent to Award
shall generally require the bidder to return to the Owner, within ten (10) days of receipt, a signed Contract,
all required bonds, proof of insurance and documentation required by the Idaho State Tax Commission
(report and affidavit).
OWNER'S RIGHT TO REJECT: Prior to execution of the Contract, the Owner or Design Professional shall
provide written notice of any reasonable objection to any person or entity proposed by the bidder. Upon
receipt of such notice, the bidder may withdraw its bid, without forfeiture, or propose a substitute and identify
