IRC -2022 <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 there <br />was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of its Bid, that Bidder may withdraw its <br />Bid, and the Bid security will be returned. Thereafter, if the Work is rebid, that Bidder will be <br />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 base <br />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 />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 right <br />to reject the Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation, to be non - <br />responsible. OWNER may also reject the Bid of any Bidder if OWNER believes that it would not be <br />in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder. OWNER also reserves the right <br />to waive all technicalities and informalities not involving price, time, or changes in the ork and to <br />negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder. The County will not reimburse any Bidder for <br />bid preparation costs. Owner reserves the right to cancel the award of any Contract at any time <br />before the execution of such Contract by all parties without any liability to the Owner. For and in <br />consideration of the Owner considering Bids submitted, the Bidder, by submitting its Bid, expressly <br />waives any claim to damages, of any kind whatsoever, in the event the Owner exercises its right to <br />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 different <br />names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest in <br />more than one Bid for the Work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and the rejection of <br />all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest. <br />19.03 In evaluating Bids, OWNER will consider whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed <br />requirements, and such alternates, unit prices and other data, as may be requested in the Bid Form <br />or prior to the Notice of Award. <br />19.04 In evaluating Bidders, OWNER will consider the qualifications of Bidders and may consider <br />the qualifications and experience of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities <br />proposed for those portions of the Work for which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and <br />other individuals or entities must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions. <br />Instructions to Bidders - 00200 - 9 <br />FAPublic Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\2022 4th Sl Culvert Replacement at 90th Ave\1-Admin\Bids\Bid Documents\DIV 0 1 Bidding Documents - <br />20201118.docx — — <br />
