and exclusively responsible for submitting such inquiries or clarification requests by Tuesday,

September 15, 2026, at 5:00 pm. PGUSD will not respond to any bidder inquiries or clarification

6. Bid Bond. If required Bidders must submit with their Bids cash, a cashier's check, or a certified

check payable to the District, or a bid bond by an admitted surety insurer of not less than ten percent

(10%) of amount of base Bid, plus all additive alternates when applicable. If the Bidder chooses to

provide a Bid Bond as security, the Bidder must use the required form of corporate surety provided

by District. The Surety on the Bidder’s Bid Bond must be an insurer admitted in the State of California

and authorized to issue surety bonds in the State of California. Bids submitted without necessary

bid security will be deemed non-responsive and will not be considered. If the Bidder to whom a

contract is awarded (“Contract” or “Agreement”) fails or neglects to enter into Contract and submit

required bonds, insurance certificates, and all other required documents, within SEVEN (7) calendar

days after the date of the Notice of Award, District may deposit a Bid Bond, cash, a cashier's check,

or a certified check for collection, and proceeds thereof may be retained by the District as liquidated

damages for failure of Bidder to enter into Contract, in the sole discretion of the District. It is agreed

that calculation of damages the District may suffer because of Bidder's failure to enter into the

Contract would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine and that the amount of the

Bidder’s required bid security shall be the agreed and conclusively presumed amount of damages.

7. No Withdrawal of Bid Proposals. – Bid proposals may be withdrawn by the bidders prior to the time

fixed for the opening of bids. However, No Bidder may withdraw their bid for a period of ninety (90)

days from the date of opening of the bids for the purpose of reviewing the bids and investigating

the qualifications of Bidders, prior to awarding of the contract. A successful bidder shall not be

relieved of the bid submitted without the District’s consent or bidder’s recourse to Public Contract

Code Sections 5100 et. seq.

8. Waiver of Irregularities. The District reserves the right to reject any or all Bid Proposals or to waive

any irregularities or informalities in any Bid Proposal or in the bidding.

9. Execution of Contract (Award). The District shall award the Contract to the lowest responsive

responsible bidder based on the criteria as indicated in the Notice to Bidders. In the event two or

more responsible bidders submit identical bids, the District shall select the Bidder to whom to award

the Contract by lot. In the event all Bids exceed the bid threshold, the District’s Governing Board

may elect to pass a resolution to award the Contract to the lowest responsible Bidder. Issuance of

a Purchase Order shall be evidence the contractual agreement between the bidder(s) and the

District and the bidder’s acceptance of these Bid Instructions and Conditions. The District reserves

the right of determination that items bid meet or do not meet bid specifications. Further, the District

reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and to waive any informality in the bidding.

A. The Bidder to whom a Contract is awarded shall execute and submit the following documents

by 5:00 p.m. of the SEVENTH (7th) calendar day following the date of the Notice of Intent to

Award. Failure to properly and timely submit these documents entitles District to reject the
