No bid will be received or considered unless the bidder is licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board or the State Landscape Contractors Board, whichever is applicable. No bid will be received or considered unless the Offer is accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check, surety bond (bid bond), or irrevocable letter of credit issued by an insured institution as defined in ORS 706.008, in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total amount bid. The successful bidder will be required to furnish a faithful performance bond and a labor and material payment bond each in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Contract and show proof that the Contractor has filed a public works bond in the amount of $30,000 with Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). Contractor will also be required to furnish evidence of insurance, including workers' compensation insurance before the Work shall commence. The City shall investigate and determine the qualifications of the apparent low responsive bidder prior to awarding the Contract. The City shall reject any bid by a nonqualified or disqualified bidder. The City reserves the right to reject any bid not in compliance with all prescribed public bidding procedures and requirements and may reject all bids for good cause upon a finding that it is in the public interest to do so. Evaluation of bids will be based on minimum requirements established by the specifications and compliance with conditions of the Notice to Contractors/Invitation to Bid and Citys public contracting rules Liquidated Damages City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Contract and that City will suffer substantial financial loss if the project work is not completed within the timeframe specified in Section (1) of the Public Improvement Contract. City and Contractor also recognize the difficulties involved in proving in a legal or other dispute resolution preceding the actual loss suffered by City if the project work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, City and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) the Contractor shall pay the City one thousand and fifty dollars per day ($1050/day) for each and every day that elapses in excess of the Contract Time. This amount is a genuine pre-estimation of the damages expected because of a delay in the completion of this project. Questions and requests must be received no later than 5:00 pm, Monday July 17th, 2023.
