    Neither the Town of Bourbon nor its Engineer will be responsible for partial sets of documents so obtained from any other source.

    The work to be performed and the bid to be submitted shall include sufficient and proper sums for all general construction, labor, materials, permits, licenses, insurance, and so forth incidental to and required for the construction of the Project.  The Contractor shall submit an itemized proposal for the approximate quantities and components of labor and materials to complete the contract.  Said proposal shall be upon the standard bid sheet used by the Owner, and said sheet must contain an authorized signature of the Contractor or the bid of the Contractor may, at the discretion of the Owner, be rejected and declared invalid.  The bid shall be accompanied by a non-collusion affidavit as required by the statutes of Indiana.  

    Each bid must be enclosed in a sealed envelope bearing the title of the Project and the name and address of Bidder.  All bids must be submitted on the bid forms as identified in the contract documents.

    Each bid shall be accompanied by a certified check or acceptable bidder’s bond made payable to the Owner, in a sum of not less than five percent (5%) of the total amount of the highest aggregate bid, which check or bond will be held by the Owner as evidence that the bidder will, if awarded the contract, enter into the same with the Owner upon notification from him to do so within ten (10) days of said notification.

    Approved performance and payment bonds guaranteeing faithful and proper performance of the work and materials, to be executed by an acceptable surety company, will be required of the Contractor at the time he executes his contract.  The bond will be in the amount of 100% of the Contract Price and must be in full force and effect throughout the term of the Construction Contract plus a period of twelve (12) months from the date of substantial completion.  Liquidated damages in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day of delayed or unsatisfactory completion of the Contract, beyond the agreed upon completion date, shall be paid by the Contractor to the Owner pursuant to the terms and conditions of the written contract ultimately entered into by the successful bidder and Owner.

    The Owner reserves the right to reject any bid, or all bids, or to accept any bid or bids, or to make such combination of bids as may seem desirable, and to waive any and all informalities in bidding.  Any bid may be withdrawn prior to the above scheduled time for the opening of bids or authorized postponement thereof.  Any bid received after the time and date specified shall not be considered.  No bids may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids for at least ninety (90) days.

    The Owner reserves the right to reduce project scope to meet any budget limitations if any were to arise.

    A conditional or qualified Bid will not be accepted.  Award will be made to the low, responsive, responsible bidder as determined by the Owner.

    All applicable laws, ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over construction of the project shall apply to the project throughout.

    Bids shall be properly and completely executed on bid forms included in the Specifications.  Bids shall include all information requested by Indiana Form 96 (current edition).  Under Section III of Form 96, the Bidder shall submit a financial statement.  A copy of the proposed Financial Statement to be submitted with the bid is included in the bid documents section to these specifications.  The Owner may make such investigations as deemed necessary to determine the ability of the Bidder to perform the work and the Bidder shall furnish to the Owner all such information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request.  The Owner reserves the right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the Agreement and to complete the work contemplated therein.

    Each Bidder is responsible for inspecting the Project site(s) and for reading and being thoroughly familiar with the Contract Documents and Specifications.  The failure or omission of any Bidder to do any of the foregoing shall in no way relieve any Bidder from any obligation with respect to its Bid.

    The Owner is exempt from all federal, state, and local taxes, and will not be responsible for any taxes levied on the Contractor as a result of any contract award.

    The successful Contractor shall be required to provide information as to the owners of the Contractor and certify required information to comply with State law and Town policy on anti-nepotism requirements.

    Any questions prior to bid opening shall be directed, in writing, via email to Josh Padgett at [email protected].
