6 – Instruction to Bidders Page 4 of 9 PT Carnegie Library Improvements Project
1. Delinquent State Taxes
A. Criterion: The Bidder shall not owe delinquent taxes to the Washington State
Department of Revenue without a payment plan approved by the Department
of Revenue.
B. Documentation: The Bidder shall not be listed on the Washington State
Department of Revenue’s “Delinquent Taxpayer List” website:
http://dor.wa.gov/content/fileandpaytaxes/latefiling/dtlwest.aspx.
2. Federal Debarment

Federal government.
B. Documentation: The Bidder shall not be listed as a current debarred or
suspended bidder on the U.S. General Services Administration’s “ System For
Award Management” (SAM) website: http://www.sam.gov/.
3. Public Bidding Crime

bidding on a public works contract within five years from the bid submittal
deadline.
B. Documentation: The Apparent Low Bidder may be required to sign a
statement (on a form to be provided by the Owner) that the Bidder has not
been convicted of a crime involving bidding on a public works contract. The
Owner may also use independent sources of information that may be
available to demonstrate whether the Bidder is in compliance with this
criterion.
4. Subcontractor Responsibility
A. Criterion: The Bidder’s standard subcontract form shall include the
subcontractor responsibility language required by RCW 39.06.020, and the
Bidder shall have an established procedure which it utilizes to validate the
responsibility of each of its subcontractors. The Bidder’s subcontract form
shall also include a requirement that each of its subcontractors shall have and
document a similar procedure to determine whether the sub-tier
subcontractors with whom it contracts are also “responsible” subcontractors
as defined by RCW 39.06.020.
B. Documentation: The Apparent Low Bidder shall submit a copy of its standard
subcontract form for review by the Owner, and a written description of its
6 – Instruction to Bidders Page 5 of 9 PT Carnegie Library Improvements Project

contracts within 3 days of the bid opening.
5. Claims Against Retainage and Bonds
A. Criterion: The Bidder shall not have a record of excessive claims filed against
the retainage or payment bonds for public works projects during the previous
three years, that demonstrate a lack of effective management by the Bidder of
making timely and appropriate payments to its subcontractors, suppliers, and
workers, unless there are extenuating circumstances acceptable to the
Owner.
B. Documentation: The Apparent Low Bidder may be required to submit a list
of the public works projects completed within the previous three years and
include for each project the following information:

the projects listed;
· A written explanation of the circumstances surrounding each claim and the
ultimate resolution of the claim.
The Owner may contact previous owners to validate the information provided
by the Bidder.
6. Completion of Similar Projects
A. Criterion: The Bidder shall have successfully completed 3 projects within the
past 5 years of a similar size and scope as required by the contract
documents for this project. In evaluating whether the projects were
“successfully completed,” the Owner may check owner references for the
previous projects and may evaluate the owner’s assessment of the Bidder
performance, including but not limited to the following areas:
· Quality control;
· Safety record;
· Timeliness of performance;
· Use of skilled personnel;
· Management of subcontractors;
· Availability of and use of appropriate equipment;
· Compliance with contract documents;
· Management of submittals process, change orders, and close-out.
B. Documentation: The Apparent Low Bidder may be required to submit a list of
projects of similar size and scope to this project. For the purposes of meeting
this criterion, the Owner has determined that “similar size and scope to this
6 – Instruction to Bidders Page 6 of 9 PT Carnegie Library Improvements Project
project” means projects that have the following characteristics: Concrete site
work, railings, working around occupied buildings, and stone veneer.
C. The information about each project shall include the following:

· Awarded contract amount;
· Final contract amount;
· A description of the scope of the project and how the project is similar to
this project;

o Safety record;
o Timeliness of performance;
o Use of skilled personnel;
o Management of subcontractors;
o Availability of and use of appropriate equipment;
o Compliance with contract documents;
o Management of submittals process and change orders.
7. Termination for Cause
A. Criterion: The Bidder shall not have had any public works contract terminated
for cause by a government agency during the five year period immediately
preceding the bid submittal deadline for this project, unless there are
extenuating circumstances acceptable to the Owner.
Documentation: The Apparent Low Bidder may be required to sign a statement (on a
form to be provided by the Owner) that the Bidder has not had any public works contract
terminated for cause by a government agency during the five year period immediately
preceding the bid submittal deadline for this project. The Owner may also use
independent sources of information that may be available to demonstrate whether the
Bidder is in compliance with this criterion.
BIDDER FAMILIARITY WITH REQUIREMENTS
Bidders must satisfy themselves of the accuracy of estimated quantities, specifications and contract
requirements, by personal examination of any plans, specifications, all bid and contract documents, the site
or sites or location of the proposed work, and by any other examination or investigation which they may
desire to make as to the nature of the contract requirements or any difficulties to be encountered. The failure
or omission of any bidder to do any of the foregoing shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation
in respect to his bid, and the bidder shall not assert that there was a misunderstanding concerning the work
or of the nature of the work to be done, or of the requirements of the contract.

accordance with the requirements set forth in Exhibit G. Bidders should pay special note to the insurance
requirements and insurance documents required. Additional insurance requirements are listed in the Special

with a corporate surety approved by the City, will be required for the faithful performance of the contract.
NOTICE TO PROCEED
A Notice to Proceed shall be issued on or prior toMay 14, 2017. Should there be reasons why the
Notice to Proceed cannot be issued by this date; time may be extended by mutual agreement between the
City and the Contractor. If the Notice to Proceed has not been issued within 45 days from the award date or
within the period mutually agreed upon, the Contractor may terminate the Agreement without further
liability on the part of each party.

6 – Instruction to Bidders Page 8 of 9 PT Carnegie Library Improvements Project
APPLICABLE LAW
All applicable laws, ordinances and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdictions

by the time of final contract.
SALES / USE TAX
WAC 458.20.170 provides that retail sales/use tax to be collected from the City on the Contract
amount shall be stated separately in the spaces provided, as applicable, and shall not be included in the unit
or lump sum prices stated in the Proposal for water mains and appurtenances, sanitary sewer, telephone,
