A mailed Bid shall be <br /> addressed to Indian River County, Purchasing Division, 1800 27th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, <br /> 32960. <br /> ARTICLE 16 - MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BID <br /> 16.01 A Bid may be modified or withdrawn by an appropriate document duly executed in the <br /> manner that a Bid must be executed and delivered to the place where Bids are to be submitted <br /> prior to the date and time for the opening of Bids. <br /> 16.02 If within 24 hours after Bids are opened any Bidder files a duly signed written notice with <br /> OWNER and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of OWNER that <br /> there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of its Bid, that Bidder may <br /> withdraw its Bid, and the Bid security will be returned. Thereafter, if the Work is rebid, that Bidder <br /> will be disqualified from further bidding on the Work. <br /> ARTICLE 17 - OPENING OF BIDS <br /> 17.01 Bids will be opened at the time and place indicated in the advertisement or invitation to Bid <br /> and, unless obviously non-responsive, read aloud publicly. An abstract of the amounts of the <br /> base Bids and major alternates, if any, will be made available to Bidders after the opening of Bids. <br /> ARTICLE 18 - BIDS TO REMAIN SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE <br /> y 18.01 All Bids will remain subject to acceptance for the period of time stated in the Bid Form, but <br /> OWNER may, in its sole discretion, release any Bid and return the Bid security prior to the end of <br /> this period. <br /> ARTICLE 19 - AWARD OF CONTRACT <br /> 19.01 OWNER reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including without limitation, <br /> nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced, or conditional Bids. OWNER further reserves the <br /> right to reject the Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation, to be <br /> non-responsible. OWNER also reserves the right to waive all informalities not involving price, <br /> time, or changes in the Work and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder. The <br /> County will not reimburse any Bidder for bid preparation costs. Owner reserves the right to cancel <br /> the award of any Contract at any time before the execution of such Contract by all parties without <br /> any liability to the Owner. For and in consideration of the Owner considering Bids submitted, the <br /> Bidder, by submitting its Bid, expressly waives any claim to damages, of any kind whatsoever, in <br /> the event the Owner exercises its right to cancel the award in accordance herewith. <br /> 19.02 More than one Bid for the same Work from an individual or entity under the same or <br /> different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an <br /> interest in more than one Bid for the Work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and the <br /> rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest. <br /> 00200-Instructions to Bidders FOR LAP PROJECTS ONLY REV 08-10.doc <br /> 00200-9 <br /> F.\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\084513-Old Dixie Hwy Sidewalk(38th Ln-45th Sl)Wdmim\bid documents\LAP Documents\00200-Instructions to <br /> Bidders FOR LAP PROJECTS ONLY REV 08-10.doc Rev.05/01 <br />
