Hurricane Ida Repairs to Cut Off Elementary School

Each bid shall be accompanied by a bid security of not less than five (5%) percent of the total bid amount. Said amount shall be in the form of a Bid Bond, Certified Check, or Cashiers Check drawn on a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation payable to the Lafourche Parish School Board. The successful lowest responsible and responsive bidder shall be required to furnish the Owner with a performance bond for 100% of the contract amount prior to the issuance of a contract to perform the work. No bid may be withdrawn for a period of 45 days after receipt of bids. The time of completion of this project is prime importance. The Bidder agrees to commence work under this contract not later than the date indicated in the Owners written Notice to Proceed. All of the work required shall be completed within 240 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Should the Contractor neglect, refuse or fail to complete the work or obtain approval from the State Fire Marshals Office for occupancy on the amount of calendar days indicated above, the Owner shall have the right to deduct from and retain out of such moneys which may be due or which may become due and payable to the Contractor, as indicated in Article 9 of the Instructions to Bidders for each and every day that such completion of the work is delayed beyond the prescribed date / calendar days, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. If the amount due and to become due from the owner to the Contractor is insufficient to pay in full any such liquidated damages, the contractor shall pay the owner the amount necessary to affect such payment in full. Provided, however, that the Owner shall promptly notify the Contractor in writing of the manner in which the amount retained, deducted, or claimed as liquidated damages was computed. Designer will be paid for prolonged contract administration and observation of construction should the contract time, as may be extended, be exceeded due to no fault of the Designer and liquidated damages are recommended by the Designer. The amount of such payment shall be computed by dividing 20% of the basic total fee by the number of days construction time, as extended to the contractual completion date, and multiplying by the number of days of liquidated damages recommended by the Designer. The Designers prolonged contract administration shall be compensated by deducting from moneys which may become due and payable to the Contractor.

Bid sheets will be issued only to Contractors and/or Subcontractors licensed in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 37:2150 through 2173 of the Louisiana Legislature.
