INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1. GENERAL: The following instructions are given for the purpose
of guiding Bidders in properly preparing their bids or proposals.
These Instructions and the Invitation to Bid shall be binding on
all Bidders, and incorporated into and made part of the Contract.
2.DEFINITION OF TERMS: Where the following terms or their pro-
nouns occur herein, the intent and meaning shall be as follows:
OWNER (City): City of Vero Beach
P.O. Box 1389
Vero Beach, Florida 32961-1389
CONTRACT: See Article 1, General Conditions, Page GC -1
ADDENDUM: A modification of the Contract Documents
issued in writing by the Engineer prior - to
the Bid Opening.
BID OPENING: The time and place for the opening of bids,
as described in the Invitation to Bid.
3.EXAMINATION OF SITE AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: The Bidder is
required, before submitting his bid, to visit the site of the
proposed work and familiarize himself with the nature and the
extent of the work and -any surface and subsurface conditions that
may in any manner affect the work to be done, and the equipment,
materials, and labor required, and the cost thereof. The Bidder
is also required to examine carefully any and all Contract Docu-
ments. Ignorance on the part of the Bidder will in no way re-
lieve him of the obligations and responsibilities assumed under
the Contract. No information derived from maps, drawings, speci-
fications, or from the City, or his assistants, shall relieve the
Contractor from any risk or from fulfilling all terms of the
Contract.
4. INTERPRETATION OF THE APPROXIMATE QUANTITIES: The Bidder's
attention is called to the fact that any of the quantities of
work shown on the Bid Schedule are approximate only and not
guaranteed. For each unit of work contained in the Bid Schedule,
the City has the right to require greater or fewer units of work
to be performed than the quantities listed.
5.INTERPRETATIONS, INCONSISTENCIES AND ADDENDA: The Bidder must
request interpretations or clarifications regarding the Contract
Documents and any Specifications received prior to Bid Opening,
in writing from the Purchasing Agent. To be considered, such
request must be received at least four (4) days prior to Bid
Opening. The Purchasing Agent will notify all prospective bid-
ders of any and all interpretations and supplemental instruc-
tions. These notices shall be in the form of written addenda,
which will be sent by certified mail with return receipt request-
ed to all prospective Bidders (at the address furnished by the
IB -1
Bidder) not later than three (3) days prior to the date fixed for
the opening of bids. The failure of any Bidder to receive any
such addenda shall not relieve the Bidder from the obligation to
comply with the terms of the addenda in addition to all other
Contract Documents, should the Bidder submit a Bid and become the
Contract Awardee. All addenda so issued shall become a part of
the Contract Documents. The City shall not be bound by any oral
interpretations or clarifications.
6.PREPARATION OF BIDS: All bids shall include the Bid Proposal
and such other forms and statements, such as the Questionnaire,
Bid Bond, and Sworn Statement, as are herein provided or other-
wise required. The Bid Schedule must have all blank spaces
filled in with a price for each lump sum item and for every item
for which a•quantity is given. All bids must be typed or in ink
and submitted in duplicate.
One bid from any individual, partnership, or corporation, under
the same or different names, will be considered. Should it
appear to the City that any individual, partnership, or corpora-
tion has an interest in more than one bid for the work contem-
plated, the City shall reject all bids in which such individual,
partnership, or corporation has such interest.
7.BID PRICING: The bid price shall include all materials, equip-
ment, tools, including applicable taxes, necessary or proper for
the completion of the'work except as may be otherwise expressly
provided for in the Contract Documents. The unit prices shall be
construed as including all of Contractor's direct and indirect
costs of doing the work required, including such costs as insur-
ance, obtaining required permits, testing, etc., unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Contract Documents.
The Contractor shall familiarize himself with the requirements of
the State of Florida pertaining to the exemption from State Sales
Tax as it may apply to the City.
The City may consider bids as nonresponsive if they contain
serious omission, unauthorized alterations of form, unauthorized
alternate bids, incomplete or unbalanced bid pricing (including
via escalator clauses), or irregularities of any kind.
8.SUBMISSION OF BIDS: If bids are submitted in advance of the
time of opening, as set forth in the "Invitation to Bid", then
they must be received enclosed in a sealed envelope plainly
marked on the outside "SLUDGE REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL" and the date
of Bid Opening in the Invitation to Bid or Addendum. Bidders may
bring bids for submission to Bid Opening in which case the person
submitting the bid must be present at Bid Opening and submit the
bid, sealed and marked per above.
9.FAMILIARITY WITH LAWS: The Bidder is assumed t•o be familiar
with all federal, state and local laws and regulations that may
affect the work. The Contract Documents may describe some of
these laws and regulations; however, the Bidder is responsible
for knowing and complying with any and all such laws and regula-
tions. Ignorance on the part of the Bidder will in no way re-
lieve him from the responsibility of compliance therewith.
10.REJECTION OF BIDS: The City reserves the right to reject any
bid, if the evidence submitted by the Bidder, or if the investi-
gation of such Bidder, fails to satisfy the City that such Bidder
is properly qualified to carry out the obligations and to com-
plete the work contemplated therein. Any or all Proposals will
be rejected, if there is reason to believe that collusion exists
among the Bidders. Proposals will be considered irregular and
may be rejected, if they show serious omissions, alterations in
form, additions not called for, conditions or irregularities of
any kind. The City reserves the right to reject any or all
Proposals and to waive such technical errors as may be deemed
best for the interest of the City.
ll.WITHDRAWALS AND MODIFICATIONS: Any Bidder may, without preju-
dice to imsel-f —,withdraw or modify his Proposal at any time
prior to Bid Opening, by physically delivering written notice of
withdrawal or the written modification in writing to the City
Purchasing Agent. All written requests for withdrawal and writ-
ten modifications must be signed by a person duly authorized to
make such withdrawal or modification; and, in case signed by a
deputy or subordinate, the principal's proper written authority
to such deputy or subordinate must accompany the request for
withdrawal or modification.

the Contract, furnish good and sufficient bonds as herein re-
quired, and provide a certificate of insurance as herein re-
quired, within ten (10) days after receiving the Contract for
execution. If the Contract Awardee fails to execute the Contract
or furnish the bonds within such time, the City may annul the
award and award the Contract to another Bidder, or take any other
actions as authorized under Section 3.04 of the Vero Beach Code,
including the award of the Contract to another Bidder. The new
Contract Awardee, if any, shall fulfill every stipulation em-
braced herein as if he were the original party to whom award was
made.
If the Contract Awardee is a corporation, it shall furnish
certificates as to its corporate existence and evidence that the
officer signing the contract is authorized to do so on behalf of
the corporation, prior to the City's execution of the Contract.
13.SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING OF'CONTRACT: The Contractor shall not
sublet, sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of the
contract or any portion thereof or the work provided for therein
or of any part or all of his right, title or interest therein
without the express written consent of the City. Any such at-
tempt without the express written consent of the City shall be
void ab initio and shall allow the City, at its option, to void
IB -3
the Contract.
14.PATENT FEES, ROYALTIES AND LICENSES: If the Contractor re-
quires or desires to use any design, trademark, material or
process covered by letters of patent or copyright, the Contractor
and his Surety shall indemnify and save harmless the City from
any and all claims for infringement by reason of the use of any
such patented designs, trademark, mentioned or processed in
connection with the work agreed to be performed under the Con-
tract and shall indemnify the City from any costs, expense or
damage which he may be obliged to pay by reason of any infringe-
ment at any time during the prosecution of, or after completion
of, the work.
15. LIENS: Because the work called for under the Contract is
"public work" under Chapter 255, Florida Statutes, the Contractor
shall insert the following paragraph in all subcontracts hereun-
der:

plies cannot be asserted against the City of Vero
Beach and are subject to proper prior notice to
