B. In evaluating Bids, Owner will consider the qualifications of the Bidder, whether or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such alternates, unit prices, and other data, as may be requested in the Bid Form or prior to the Notice of Award. C. Owner may consider the qualifications and experience of subcontractors, suppliers, and other persons and organizations proposed for those portions of the work as to which the identity of subcontractors, suppliers, and other persons and organizations must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions. Owner may consider the operating costs, maintenance requirements, performance data and guarantees of major items of materials and equipment proposed for incorporation in the work when such data is required to be submitted prior to the Notice to Award. D. Owner may conduct such investigations as Owner deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and establish the responsibility, qualifications, and financial ability of Bidders, proposed subcontractors, suppliers, and other persons and organizations to perform and furnish the work in accordance with the Contract Documents to Owner's satisfaction within the prescribed time. E. If the Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest Bidder whose evaluation by Owner indicates to Owner that the award will be in the best interests of the Owner. F. If the Contract is to be awarded, Owner will give the Successful Bidder a Notice of Award within ninety days after the day of the Bid opening. G. More than one Bid from an individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or association under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that one Bidder is financially interested in more than one proposal for the same work will cause the rejection of all proposals in which such Bidders are believed to be interested. Any or all proposals will be rejected if there is reason to believe that collusion exists among the Bidders, and no participants in such collusion will be considered in future proposals for the same work. H. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of the Notice of Award of the Contract, the Bidder to whom the Contract is awarded shall execute and deliver two (2) original Contracts to the Owner, together with a Payment Bond for the total amount of the Bid, a Performance Bond for 125 percent of the Bid in the forms set forth in the Contract Documents and General Conditions; and all required insurance certificates, before the Contract will be executed by the Owner. I. Failure upon the part of the Bidder to whom the Contract has been awarded to execute and deliver the Contract Payment and Performance Bonds and required insurance in the manner and within the time provided shall be just cause for cancellation of the award. It is understood and agreed by said Bidder, that if the award is cancelled for the above persons, the certified check or Bid Bond shall become the property of the Owner, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages. 044572017 00100-7
