In general, each party interested submits a bid in a sealed envelope, and all such bids are opened at the same time and the most favorable responsible bid is accepted. All bid responses will be retained as property of Augusta-Richmond County. Conditions for use. All contracts of Augusta-Richmond County shall be awarded by competitive sealed bidding except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this article (see ~ 1-10-45 - Sealed Proposals; 1-10-46 - Professional Services; 1-10-47 - Quotations; 1-10-49 - Sole Source Procurement; and 1-10-50 - Emergency Procurements, of this chapter). Invitation for bids and specifications. An invitation for bids shall be issued by the Procurement Office and shall include specifications prepared in accordance with Article 4 (Product Specifications), and all contractual terms and conditions, applicable to the procurement. Pre-bid conference and addendum. A conference to be conducted by the Procurement Director and using agency head, if appropriate, hearing will be scheduled at least five (5) working days before receipt of bids. While the pre-bid conference is not a requirement, it is strongly recommended and widely used to further acquaint interested bidders with the bid requirements and items to be purchased and vendor input. Any substantive changes to specifications resulting from the pre-bid conference or other vendor/contractor sessions shall be documented in an addendum and communicated to all bidders registered for the procurement action. Bid opening. Sealed Bids shall be opened publicly in the presence of one or more witnesses at the time and place designated in the public notice and invitation for bids. The amount of each bid, and such other relevant information as the Procurement Director deems appropriate, together with the name of each bidder shall be recorded; the record and each bid shall be open to public inspection in accordance with ~ 1-10-5 (public Access to Procurement Information). Bid acceptance and bid evaluation. Provided that the bids are delivered to the Procurement Director at the time, place, and under the conditions contained in the Invitation for Bids, the bids shall be conditionally accepted without alteration or correction pending evaluation. Bids shall be evaluated based on the requirements set forth in the invitation for bids, which may include bidder responsiveness, capability and past performance, and criteria to determine acceptability such as inspection, testing, quality workmanship, delivery, and suitability for a particular purpose. Those criteria that will affect the bid price and be considered in evaluation for award shall be objective and clearly measurable, including but not limited to discounts, transportation costs, and total or life cycle costs. The main advantage of using life-cycle costing is that both initial costs and related costs for the life of the item are considered. When the criterion for awarding the contract is based on lowest responsive bidder, it may mean that the contract specifications are just minimally complied with. Selecting of the lowest bidder could result in a higher incidence of maintenance, and down- time could eat up any savings made if the Procurement process considers only the initial cost. Under no circumstance will any bid be accepted by fax or emaiI. All bids must be labeled and received in the Procurement office by the due date and time. There will be no exceptions made for any late. lost by the post office or express carrier. or misdirected submittals. Please be aware that vendors shall be removed from the vendor list for the following reasons: (1) Declining to offer bids for the period of time listed in specifications. (2) Suspension for the following shall not be for less than three (3) months or more than three (3) years: (a) Failing to satisfactorily meet terms, agreements, or contracts made with the Procurement department or the using agency. (b) Being convicted of criminal offenses in obtaining contracts or convicted of embezzlement, violation of state or federal anti-trust statutes, or any other crime which indicates a lack of business integrity or honesty. 3 (c) Violating contract provisions or failing to perform without good cause or any other cause which the Procurement Director deems to be so serious as to affect the responsibility of a contractor, including disbarment or suspension from a vendor list by another government entity. PREFERENCE FOR LOCAL SUPPLIERS AND CONTRACTORS (a) Augusta encourages the use of local suppliers of goods, services and construction products whenever possible. Augusta also vigorously supports the advantages of an open competitive market place. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to mean that the City Administrator or Purchasing Director is restricted in any way from seeking formal bids or proposals from outside the Augusta market area. (b) When the quotation or informal bids selection method is used by the Purchasing Director or using agency head to seek firms to quote on Augusta commodity, service and construction products, local firms should be contacted, if possible, first. Then if the Purchasing Director or using agency head believes that there may not be at least three qualified informal bidders, quotes shall be sought from outside the Augusta market area. (c) In the event of a tie of bid (see 1-10-43 (h)), when all other factors are equal, the City Administrator is encouraged to select the bid from within the local market area. The City Administrator shall retain the flexibility to make the award of contract to a bidder outside of the local market area if evidence supports collusive bidding in favor of a local source. (d) The local vendor preference policy shall be applied when the lowest local bidder is within 5% or $10,000, whichever is less, of the lowest non-local bidder. The lowest local bidder will be allowed to match the bid of the lowest non-local bidder; if matched, the lowest local bidder will be awarded the contract. For purposes of this section, "local bidder" shall mean a business which: 1) Has had a fixed office or distribution point located in and having a street address within Augusta for at least six (6) months immediately prior to the issuance of the request for competitive bids or request for proposals by Augusta; and 2) Holds any business license required by the Augusta-Richmond County Code and 3) Employs at least one (1) full time employee, or two (2) part time employees whose primary residence is in Augusta, or if the business has no employees, the business shall be at least fifty percent (50%) owned by one or more persons whose primary residence is in Augusta. (e) The Purchasing Director shall develop a program to routinely search out local firms that offer products or services which Augusta may purchase and encourage such firms to place themselves on the bidder's list. (f) The Purchasing Director shall work closely with Augusta's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (see Article 7) in an effort to place such qualified firms on the approved list and their products on the qualified products list. (g) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to mean that the City Administrator may abrogate the provisions of 0 .C.G .A. 36-10-1 through 36-10-5, Public Works Contracts. This provision of the State Code requires that all County public works contracts of $20,000 or more as defined therein, be publicly advertised before letting out the contract to the lowest bidder. Further, nothing in this section shall be interpreted to mean the City Administrator may abrogate the provisions of the Augusta-Richmond County Code requiring public advertising before letting certain contracts." Section 2. This Ordinance shall become effective upon adoption. All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed. Section 3. Section 4. If any section, provision, or clause of any part of this Ordinance be declared invalid or unconstitutional, or if the provisions of any part of this Ordinance as applied to any particular situation or set of circumstances be declared invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity shall not be construed to affect portions of this Ordinance not so held to be invalid, or the application of this Ordinance to other circumstances not so held to be invalid. It is hereby declared as the intent that this Ordinance would have been adopted had such invalid portion not be included herein. 4 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON VENDORS. The Department Head and/or the Administrator is directed to provide the bid amount as submitted, information concerning the vendor's previous performance, the service and quality of the products offered, the availability of the goods and services when needed, adherence to delivery schedules, and other criteria pertinent to that particular item, on vendors who have submitted bids, proposals, or contracts for the Commission's consideration. The information is to be included in the backup documents for the Commission's consideration in awarding the contract. INSPECTION OF PURCHASES. The Procurement agent in conjunction with the using agency or department head shall inspect, or supervise the inspection of, all deliveries of materials, supplies or contractual services to determine their conformance with the specifications set forth in the pertinent purchase order or contract.

A ward shall occur with reasonable promptness by appropriate written notice to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid meets the requirements and criteria set forth in the invitation for bids. ill addition to price and other material factors, the Procurement Director, in consultation with the using agency, shall consider the following in the context of award recommendations: (1) The ability, capacity, and skill of the bidder to perform, the contract or provide the services required, (2) The capability of the bidder to perform the contract or provide the service promptly, or within the time specified, without delay or interference, (3) The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the bidder, (4) The quality of performance on previous contracts, (5) The previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws and ordinances relating to the contract or services, (6) The sufficiency of the financial resources of the bidder relating to his ability to perform the contract, (7) The quality, availability, and adaptability of the supplies or services to the particular use required, (8) The number and scope of conditions attached to the bid by the bidder, and (9) Service availability may be considered in determining the most responsible bid, and the bidders shall be required to submit information concerning their ability to service and maintain the product of the equipment.

Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-19 ii) ~ SECTION 14B SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS BASIS FOR DESIGN: A Professional Engineer registered in the State of Georgia must prepare the plans and specifications. Design must conform to the requirements set forth in "Recommended Standards for Wastewater Facilities" (latest version) published by the Great Lakes-Upper Mississippi River Board of State and Provincial Public Health and Environmental Managers, and follow EPD guidelines. Before a sewer is designed, the area to be served should be studied for the purpose of estimating the type and quantity of flow to be handled. Design should be considered for the ultimate tributary population. Consideration should be given to the maximum anticipated capacity of institutions, industrial parks, etc. Where future relief sewers are planned, economic analysis of alternatives should accompany initial permit application. Design should be based on peak sewage flows plus the anticipated maximum infiltration/inflow levels under normal open channel flow conditions. All food service operations are required to install, operate, clean, and maintain a sufficiently sized oil and grease separator (grease trap) to prevent obstruction or interference with the proper operation of the sanitary sewer collection system and treatment plants. All existing waterworks units, including basins, wells, and treatment units, located within 200 feet of a proposed sewer shall be shown on the engineering plans. Soil conditions within this 200 feet of waterworks shall be determined and shown on the plans.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the satisfactory watertightness of the entire section of sewer. As required, suitable bulkheads shall be installed to permit the test of the sewer. Where the ground water level is less than 1 foot above the top of the pipe at its upper end, or as directed by the Engineer, the sewer shall be subjected to exfiltration testing by plugging the pipe at the lower end and then filling the pipelines and manholes with clean water to a height 4 feet above the top of the sewer at its upper end. The leakage out of the sewer, measured by the volume of the water necessary to maintain meter level in the highest manhole, shall not exceed 200 gallons per inch diameter per 24 hours per mile of sewer for gravity sewer pipe. The amount of 50 gallons per inch diameter per 24 hours per mile of sewer shall not be exceeded for ductile iron pipe. The sewer shall be tested before any connections are made to buildings or to active sewers. The Contractor shall construct such weirs and bulkheads as may be required, shall furnish all water, labor, test plugs, power, pumps, meters, and other equipment necessary for the test to be properly made. Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-36 - ~ The Contractor may use a low pressure air test as an option to the hydraulic infiltrationJexfiltration leakage test for gravity lines provided the Contractor established a correlation between the air test results and the quantity of infiltrationJexfiltration actually being experienced by the line and the allowable air pressure drop shall be that corresponding to the allowable hydraulic leakage specified previously in this section. Such a correlation is to be established according to a procedure satisfactory to the Engineer. The low pressure air test shall be performed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Uni-Bell UNI- B-6-90, latest version. If the Contractor opts to use the low pressure air test, leakage tests on manholes shall be conducted independently of the lines by using a hydraulic infiltrationJexfiltration test as directed by the Engineer. The allowable infiltration into the manhole over a 24 hour period is zero and the allowable exfiltration is also zero when tested by plugging off the manhole and filling it with water four feet above the top of the sewer and measuring the water loss over a 24 hour period. 14.27.3 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Payment will be made at the unit contract prices as shown in the bid schedule under Sanitary Sewer. Measurement of pipelines shall be the actual number of linear feet of pipe installed, complete in place and accepted. No deductions in length will be made for manholes. Measurement of manholes will be the vertical dimension to the nearest tenth of a foot from the invert of the outlet pipe to the top of the manhole cover ring casting. Concrete encasement will be paid for at the contract unit price, per cubic yard, for the actual volume of concrete placed, up to the volume of concrete required by the maximum dimensions for concrete encasement shown on the plans. Concrete in the excess of that volume will not be paid for. No separate payment will be made for any special fittings, tie-ins, or connections, nor will any separate payment be made for normal bedding of sewer pipe. Service lines will be paid for at the unit contract price as shown in the bid schedule under Sanitary Sewer, complete as shown on the plans Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-37 .\)GUS~ - EOi' SECTION 14C EXCAVATION & BACKFILLING 14.28 SCOPE This section covers all excavation, trenching and backfilling for pipe lines, complete. 14.29 EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS The Contractor shall maintain in operating condition and protect from damage all existing improvements including utilities, roads, streets, sidewalks, drives, power and telephone lines, gas lines, water lines, sewers, gutters and other drains encountered, and repair to the satisfaction of the Engineer any aerial, surface or subsurface improvements damaged during the course of the work. Where and if shown on the plans, the locations and existence or nonexistence of underground utilities are not guaranteed. The Contractor shall contact the various utility companies to determine and/or verify such information prior to proceeding with the work. He shall make reasonable and satisfactory provisions for the maintenance of traffic on streets, drives, walkways and at street crossings and if necessary to provide temporary walkways and bridges for crossing of the open trench as directed. Work shall not commence within Augusta right-of-way until a Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit is obtained from the Public Works Deparment. 14.30 EXCAVATION All excavation of every description and of whatever substances encountered shall be performed to the depths indicated on the drawings or as specified herein. Excavation shall be made by the open cut method except as otherwise specified or shown on the drawings. Excavation methods shall generally meet or exceed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction industry standards. All excavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and wasted as directed. The banks of shallow trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical as practicable and where required shall be properly sheeted and br~ced. Except where otherwise indicated, trench bottoms shall be not less than 12 inches wider nor more than 16 inches wider than the outside diameter of the pipe to be laid therein, and shall be excavated true to line, so that a clear space of not less than 6 inches nor more than 8 inchesin width is provided on each side of the pipe. The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length, except for portions of the pipe sections where it is necessary to excavate for bell holes and for the proper sealing of pipe joints. Bell holes shall be dug after the trench bottom has been graded. Bell holes shall be excavated only to an extent Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-38 - ~ sufficient to permit accurate work in the making of the joints and to insure that the pipe, for a maximum of its length will rest upon the prepared bottom of the trench. Depressions for joints other than mechanical shall be made in accordance with the recommendations of the joint manufacturers for the particular joint used. Excavation for structures and other accessories shall be sufficient to leave at least 12 inches in the clear between their outer surfaces and the embankment or timber which may be used to hold the bank and protect them. Where damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left in place. Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of trenches is required, care shall be taken not to excavate below the depths indicated. Where rock excavation is required, the rock shall be excavated to a minimum overdepth of 4 inches below the normal required trench depth. The overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be backfilled with loose, moist earth, thoroughly tamped. Rock is defined as materials which are so hard or cemented that the excavation of such material requires blasting. The excavation shall proceed in a conventional manner with satisfactory effort made to remove hard materials before the Engineer makes a determination of need for blasting. Predrilling and blasting will be allowed, if the Contractor can provide evidence for the Engineer's review that boring logs can and will show that the material can or cannot be excavated. Evidence will be provided for the Engineer's review and approval before predrilling and blasting is undertaken. The excavation and removal of isolated boulders or rock fragments larger than one cubic yard in volume encountered in materials of common excavation shall be classified as rock excavation. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly supporting the pipe, as determined by the Engineer or indicated on the drawings, is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be removed to a depth required for the lengths designated by the Engineer, and the trench backfilled to trench bottom grade, as herein specified, with coarse sand, fine gravel, or other suitable material. Backfill with earth under structures will not be permitted and any unauthorized excess excavation below the levels indicated for the foundation of such structures shall be filled with sand, gravel, or concrete, as directed. 14.30.1 Grading and Stacking: All grading in the vicinity of trench excavation shall be controlled to prevent surface ground water from flowing into the trenches. Any water accumulated in the trenches shall be removed by pumping or by other approved methods. During excavation, material suitable for backfilling shall be stored in an orderly manner a minimum distance of one and one-half times the depth of the excavation back from the edges of trenches to avoid overloading and prevent slides or cave-ins. Material unsuitable for backfilling, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed from the job site and disposed of by the Contractor in a manner as approved by the Engineer. 14.30.2 Shoring and Sheeting: All shoring, sheeting, and bracing required to perform. and protect the excavation and to safeguard employees and the public shall be performed. The failure of the Engineer to direct the placing of such Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 14-39 Design Standards & Construction Specifications - ~ protection shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for damage resulting from its omission. Whenever sheeting is driven to a depth below the elevation of the top of the pipe, that portion of the sheeting below the elevation of the top of the pipe shall not be disturbed or removed. Sheeting left in place shall be cut off not less than 1 foot below finished grade. No sheeting shall be. removed until the excavation is substantially backfilled as hereinafter specified. 14.30.3 Water Removal: Where water is encountered, it shall be prevented from accumulating in excavated areas by pumping, well-pointing and pumping, or by other means approved by the Engineer as to capacity and effectiveness. Water removed from excavations shall be discharged at points where it will not cause injury to public or private property, or the work completed or in progress. All efforts to prevent sedimentation shall be made. Under no circumstances shall trench bottoms be prepared, pipes laid, or appurtenances installed in water. Water shall not be allowed to rise in unbackfilled excavations after pipe or structures have been placed. 14.30.4 Blasting: Explosives are to used only within legal limitations. Before explosives are used, all necessary permits for this work shall be secured and all precautions taken in the blasting operations to prevent damage to private or public property or to persons. The Contractor shall assume full liability for any damage that may occur during the use of explosives. No blast shall be set off within 50 feet of pipe already laid in the trench. 14.30.5 Tree Protection: Care shall be exercised to protect the roots oftrees to be left standing. Within the branch spread of the tree, trench shall be opened only when the work can be installed immediately. Injured roots shall be pruned cleanly' and backfill placed as soon as possible. 14.31 BACKFILLING Trenches and other excavations shall not be backfilled until all required tests are performed and the work has been approved by the Engineer. The trenches shall be carefully backfilled with the excavated materials approved for backfilling consisting of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand and gravel, soft shale, or other approved materials. No material shall be used for backfilling that contains mulch, other unstable materials, stones, blasted rock, broken concrete or pavement, or other hard materials having any dimension greater than 4 inches; or large clods of earth, debris, frozen earth or earth with an exceptionally high void content. Backfilling within Augusta right-of-way shall conform to Georgia Department of Transportation and City of Augusta specifications. Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-40 - ~ For backfill up to a level 1 foot over the top of pressure pipelines and 2 feet above the top of gravity pipelines, only selected materials shall be used. Select materials shall be finely divided material free from debris, organic material and stone, and may be suitable job excavated material or shall be provided by the Contractor from other sources. The backfill shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in depth. Each layer shall be moistened and carefully and uniformly tamped with mechanical tampers or other suitable tools. Each layer shall be placed and tamped under the pipe haunches with care and thoroughness so as to eliminate the possibility of voids or lateral displacement. The remainder of the backfill material shall then be placed and compacted above the level specified above. In areas. not subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in 12 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to a density approximating that of the surrounding earth. Under roadways, driveways, paved areas, parking lots, along roadway shoulders and other areas subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in 6 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to density at least equal to that of the surrounding earth so that traffic can be resumed immediately after backfilling is completed. Any trenches which are improperly backfilled, or where settlement occurs, shall be reopened to the depth required for proper compaction, then refilled and compacted with the surface restored to the required grade compaction. Along all portions of the trenches not located in roadways, the ground shall be graded to a reasonable uniformity and the mounding over the trenches left in a neat condition satisfactory to the Engineer. Sheeting not specified to be left in place shall be removed as the backfilling progresses. Sheeting shall be removed in such a manner as to avoid caving of the trench. Voids left by the removal of sheeting and shoring shall be carefully filled and compacted. Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left in place. 14.32 BORING AND JACKING Where required by the drawings, the pipeline will be installed in a steel casing, placed by boring and jacking. Where boring is required under highways, the materials and workmanship will be. in accordance with the standards of the Georgia Department of Transportation or local authority. Boring and jacking under railroads will be governed by the latest A.R.E.A. standards and those of the railroad involved. The steel casing shall be in accordance with ASTM A252 to the thicknesses shown on the.drawings.

Joints shall be sawed, unless joints equally uniform in the opinion of the Engineer result from other means. Refer to Right-of-Way Encroachment Guidelines for pavement removal and replacement with Augusta right-of-way. 14.34 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Excavation and backfilling for pipelines and appurtenances, except as hereinafter provided for, will be considered as incidental to the construction of the various elements of the installation it is associated with, and no separate payment will be made therefor. When made at the direction of Engineer, overcut, rock excavation and backfill to compensate for rock will be made at the unit contract price for rock excavation per cubic yard measured in place. When made at the direction of the Engineer, overcut and backfill to compensate for inadequate foundation will be paid for at the unit contract price for overcut and clean stone bedding, per ton of stone. Sheeting ordered to be left in place will be paid for at the unit contract price for sheeting left in place, per board foot. Joints in pavements will not be paid for separately. Pavement removal and replacement will be paid for at the unit contract price therefor, per square yard.

GENERAL: All proposals must be presented in a sealed envelope, addressed to the Owner. The proposal must be filed with the Owner on or before the time stated in the invitation for bids. Mailed proposals will be treated in every respect as though filed in person and will be subject to the same requirements. Proposals received subsequent to the time stated will be returned unopened. Prior to the time stated any proposal may be withdrawn at the discretion of the bidder, but no proposal may be withdrawn for a period of sixty (60) days after bids have been opened, pending the execution of contract with the successful bidder. IB-02. EXAMINATION OF WORK: Each bidder shall, by careful examination, satisfy himself as to the nature and location of the work, the conformation of the ground, the character, quality and quantity of the facilities needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the work, the general and local conditions, and all other matters which can in any way affect the work or the cost thereof under the contract. No oral agreement or conversation with any officer, agent, or employee of the Owner, either before or after the execution of the contract, shall affect or modify any of the terms or obligations therein. IB-03. ADDENDA AND INTERPRETATIONS: No interpretation of the meaning of plans, specifications or other prebid documents will be made to any bidder orally. Every request for such interpretation should be in writing addressed to the Purchasing Department, 530 Greene Street, Augusta, Georgia, 30911 and to be given consideration must be received at least ten working days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. Any and all such interpretations and any supplemental instructions will be in the form of written addenda to the specifications which, if issued, will be sent to the Augusta-Richmond County Purchasing Director at least five working prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. The Purchasing Director shall send by certified mail with return receipt requested to all prospective bidders (at the respective addresses furnished for such purposes), not later than three working days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. Failure of any bidder to receive any such addendum or interpretation shall not relieve such bidder from any obligation under his bid as submitted. All addenda so issued shall become part of the Contract Documents. 1B - 2 IB-04. PREPARATION OF BIDS: Bids shall be submitted on the forms provided and must be signed by the bidder or his authorized representative. Any corrections to entries made on bid forms should be initialed by the person signing the bid. Bidders must quote on all items appearing on the bid forms, unless specific directions in the advertisement, on the bid form, or in the special specifications allow for partial bids. Failure to quote on all items may disqualify the bid. When quotations on all items are not required, bidders shall insert the words "no bid" where appropriate. Alternative bids will not be considered unless specifically called for. Telegraphic bids will not be considered. Modifications to bids already submitted will be allowed if submitted by telegraph prior to the time fixed in the Invitation for Bids. Modifications shall be submitted as such, and shall not reveal the total amount of either the original or revised bids. Bids by wholly owned proprietorships or partnerships will be signed by all owners. Bids of corporations will be signed by an officer of the firm and his signature attested by the secretary thereof who will affix the corporate seal to the proposal. NOTE: A 10% Bid Bond is required in all cases. IB-05. BASIS OF AWARD: The bids will be compared on the basis of unit prices, as extended, which will include and cover the furnishing of all material and the performance of all labor requisite or proper, and completing of all the work called for under the accompanying contract, and in the manner set forth and described in the specifications. Where estimated, quantities are included in certain items of the proposal, they are for the purpose of comparing bids. While they are believed to be close approximations, they are not guaranteed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to check all items of construction. In case of error in extension of prices in a proposal, unit bid prices shall govern. IB-06. BIDDER'S QUALIFICATIONS: No proposal will be received from any bidder unless he can present satisfactory evidence that he is skilled in work of a similar nature to that covered by the contract and has sufficient assets to meet all obligations to be incurred in carrying out the work. He shall submit with his proposal, sealed in a separate envelope, a FINANCIAL EXPERIENCE AND EQUIPMENT STATEMENT, giving reliable information as to working capital available, plant equipment, and his experience and general qualifications. The owner may make such investigations as are deemed necessary to determine the ability of the bidder to perform the work and the bidder shall furnish to him all such additional information and data for this purpose as may be requested. The Owner reserves the right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by the bidder or investigation of him fails to satisfy the Owner that such bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract and to complete the work contemplated therein. Part of the evidence required above shall consist of a list of the names and addresses of not less than five (5) firms or corporations for which the bidder has done similar work. IB-07. PERFORMANCE BOND: At the time of entering into the contract, the Contractor shall give bond to the owner for the use of the owner and all persons doing work or furnishing skill, tools, machinery or materials under or for the purpose of such contract, conditional for the payment as they become due, of all just claims for such work, tools, machinery, skill and terms, for saving the owner harmless from all cost and charges that may accrue on account of the owner performing the work specified, and for compliance with the laws pertaining thereto. Said bond shall be for the amount of the contract satisfactory to the owner and authorized by law to do business in the State of Georgia. Attorneys-in-fact who sign bonds must file with each copy thereof, a certified and effectively dated copy of the power of attorney. IB-08. REJECTION OF BIDS: These proposals are asked for in good faith, and awards will be made as soon as practicable, provided satisfactory bids are received. The right is reserved, however to waive any informalities in bidding, to reject any and all proposals, or to accept a bid other than the lowest submitted if such action is deemed to be in the best interest ofthe Owner. 1B - 3 GEORGIA PROMPT PAY ACT This Agreement is intended by the Parties to, and does, supersede any and all provisions of the Georgia Prompt Pay Act, a.c.G.A.
