V. AWARD OF CONTRACT

Article 5 Consideration of Bids, Section 5.3 Acceptance of Bid, revise to read as follows:

A. It is the intent of the Owner to award a Contract to the lowest responsible Bidder

provided the Bid has been submitted in accordance with the requirements of the

Bidding Documents and does not exceed the funds available. The Owner shall

have the right to accept the Bid or Bids which, in his judgment, is in his own best

interest.

B. The Bidder will note that Bids consist of the Base Bid and several related add or

deduct Alternate items, all comprising items entering into the project and forming

the contract as a whole.

C. These several parts of the Proposal furnish the basis of arriving at the awarding of

the contract. The Owner may award the contract on the basis of the Base Bid

representing the agency receiving bids. Terms of the contract shall not be deemed

to have been perfected until a satisfactory surety bond equal to 100% of the

contract sum has been furnished to the owner by the successful bidder, at his own

expense as a guarantee of contract performance.

VI. CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATION AND FINANCIAL

STATEMENT

Article 6 Post Bid Information, delete Section 6.1 and replace with the following:

A completed Contractor Qualification Statement will be required of any Contractor

and/or subcontractor to be submitted to the School Building Authority for review. This

confidential information will be used by the SBA for evaluation of the low bid

contractors on the project. The contractor qualification statement will only be required

once annually and updated documents will be required from low bid contractors once the

current contractor qualification statement has expired. The Qualification Statement must

101

be submitted 72 hours after the close of the bid opening and prior to the award of bids

and will be used in the bid review process by the owner and SBA.

The confidential reviewed financial statement section of this document shall be required

of the lowest qualified bidder(s) being considered for award of the contract. In addition

to the financial statement, the successful low bid contractor(s) shall submit a completed

Affidavit of Debt Paid (SBA Form 177) to the owner and SBA within 72 hours of the

close of the bid.

Construction contractors or subcontractors or equipment/material suppliers whose

demonstrated pattern of poor and/or non-compliant work performance has been

documented by the SBA, project administrators and/or designers, or whose infractions of

the State Prevailing Wage Rate codes has been documented by multiple citations from

the West Virginia Department of Labor or whose contract has been terminated for just

cause as described in the latest SBA approved AIA Contract Document General

Conditions, will be placed on probation and prohibited from bidding any additional

projects funded by the SBA for a minimum period of one year beginning at the time of

probationary status. Such contractor may be removed from probationary status pending

review of their continued work history performance by the SBA at the conclusion of their

probationary period.

In order to provide opportunity for any contracting, subcontracting or equipment/material

firm cited for poor or non-compliant work to appreciably improve the quality of their

performance prior to being placed on probation, the SBA staff will utilize the following

procedure:

a. The cited firm shall be noticed in writing of the SBA’s concern, with appropriate

documentation to illustrate the poor or non-compliant work, and advise the firm

as to the possibility of being placed on probation.

b. Upon continued poor/non-compliant work performance, the firm cited shall

appear before the Executive Director of the SBA to present his reasons for failure

to respond positively with improved performance after the initial notice.

c. Continued failure to improve poor or non-compliant performance will result in the

probation. The contractor will be invited to appear at the SBA meeting to discuss

the citations and justify his uninterrupted participation.

d. Probationary status of a firm may be revoked or continued by the SBA’s

Construction Committee upon review and deliberation of any SBA staff

recommendation at the conclusion of the probationary period.

VII. SUBMITTAL OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND MAJOR EQUIPMENT AND

MATERIAL SUPPLIERS

Article 6.3 Submittals, delete 6.3.1 through 6.3.4 in their entirety and replace with the

following:

A. The bidder(s) submitting the lowest qualified bid(s) as determined by the results

of the bid opening shall submit a listing of all subcontractors and all major

102

equipment and material suppliers proposed for each major branch of work

itemized and described in the contract documents for the project. This information

shall be provided to the SBA office on SBA Form #123 within two hours after the

completion of the bid opening. If the apparent low bidder is not evident at the

close of bidding, all prime contractors must submit the completed SBA Form 123

to the SBA office within two hours of the completion of bids if they feel under

any bidding combination their bid may be considered as the low bid. Bidding

contractors are required to be present at the bid opening or obtain bid results from

the owner in order to determine the bid results and the apparent low bidder(s).

B. Each bidder is required to establish the reliability and responsibility of all

subcontracts and equipment/material suppliers being proposed to perform the

work. Contractors, Subcontractors and/or equipment/material suppliers on SBA

Probationary Status are prohibited from bidding any SBA project for a period of

at least one year from the date the contractor is notified. It is the responsibility of

any contractor soliciting bids or quotes from subcontractors to verify the

eligibility of all proposed subcontractors and equipment/material suppliers being

proposed to perform the work. Additionally, the list of SBA probationary

contractors will be provided to the owner by the SBA and this information will be

communicated by the owner to the contractors, when applicable. A review of the

proposed subcontractors and equipment/material suppliers shall be conducted by

the Architect/Engineer, Owner and representatives of the School Building

Authority. The bidder may be requested to change an unsatisfactory

subcontractor or equipment/material supplier. Proposed subcontractors or

equipment/material suppliers found to be unsatisfactory jointly by the Owner,

Architect/Engineer or School Building Authority and the contractor, shall be

changed to an acceptable subcontractor or equipment/material supplier at no

additional cost to the Owner, as the contractor has full responsibility for execution

of the work.

C. Failure to submit a list of subcontractors and major equipment and material

suppliers to the SBA office as described on the SBA Form #123 within two hours

after the completion of the bid shall result in disqualification of the bid.

D. A copy of all contractors and subcontractors licensing certificate must be

submitted to the agency receiving bids for review prior to the award of

construction contracts.

E. Prior to the award of the contract, the Architect/Engineer will make a preliminary

review of the major equipment and materials lists submitted and advise the bidder

through the Owner, of the acceptance thereof, and of such other actions as may be

necessary in order to meet the requirements of the contract documents. Should it

develop that any of the materials or equipment named in the list do not meet the

requirements and intent of the specifications, the contractor shall be required to

furnish to the Owner other materials or equipment acceptable and fully complying

with the specifications at no change in contract price. Preliminary review and

103

acceptance of the listing provided shall not relieve the Contractor from furnishing

equipment and materials in complete accordance with the specifications.

F. Written approval shall be obtained from the Architect/Engineer covering any

substitution of equipment or materials. Substitutions are permitted in the

following instances:

(1) Failure to meet quality and intent of specification and/or

(2) Failure of the supplier or manufacturer to meet delivery schedules or other

conditions of the contract.

G. The Owner reserves the right to reject the proposal of any bidder who fails to

furnish all required major equipment and material information.

H. A financial statement shall be included in the contractor’s qualification statement

submitted to the SBA by the lowest qualified bidder(s) within 72 hours of the

close of the bid opening and prior to the execution of contracts or agreements

between the local board of education and the contractor(s). The latest available

financial information must be used. Minimum requirements for financial

statements are:

1. Accountants compilation report;

2. Balance sheet;

3. Income statement;

4. Statement of changes in retained earnings;

5. Statement of cash flows; and

6. Notes to the financial statement.

The SBA recommends that all general contractors receiving quotations for bids

require a scope of work letter from all subcontractors be sent to the general

contractor receiving the quotation at least 24 hours before submission of the bid.

The letter should identify the items being quoted and, most importantly, the scope

of work included or not included in the price quotation that will be provided. The

SBA will not allow a subcontractor to change or alter the bid after the bid opening

as a result of miscommunication between the general contractor and

subcontractors or supplier quoting the project.

VIII. BID CERTIFICATION

Add the following to Article 6.3 Submittals:

In accordance with West Virginia Code 5-22-1, Article 22, the lowest qualified

responsible bidder submitting bid on SBA funded projects must certify that all provisions

within this code and SBA provisions that supercede this code have or will be met prior to

execution of the construction contract. Failure to comply with these provisions will result

in the disqualification of the bidder. The Bid Certification Form (SBA 157) must be

submitted within 72 hours of the close of the bid.

104

IX. PAYROLL CERTIFICATION AND EMPLOYMENT REPORTING

Add the following to Article 6.3 Submittals:

In preparation of bids, contractors are reminded that all SBA projects are subject to state

laws regarding payment of prevailing wage rates as in Chapter 21 of the West Virginia

Code.

X. CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE AND TAX RELEASES Add the following to Section 6.3 Submittals:

A. Each Bidder must be registered with the West Virginia Department of Tax and

Revenue prior to the time and date for Receipt of Bids in order for his Bid to be

Virginia Contractor Licensing Act.” If the branch of work is to be completed solely by an

equipment/material supplier, indicate by notation below in the contractor license number

column. If the branch of work is to be completed by the general (or prime) contractor submitting

the bid, indicate on each division where this occurs provide the name, complete address and

contractor license number of the contractor that will be performing the work. If no

subcontractors will be used to complete the project indicate on the SBA Form 123 that all work

will be self-performed and provide the name, complete address and contractor license number of

the contractor that will be performing the work. DO NOT list multiple contractors for the

same category of work. If this occurs, it must be corrected within the two hour submission

time frame or the bid will be rejected. The contractor is responsible for selecting

subcontractor(s) and/or equipment/material suppliers/contractors. However, the Owner,

Architect/Engineer and/or School Building Authority may indicate their concerns about any

entity listed which they have reason to believe past experience indicates poor performance may

be expected. Therefore, the bidder may be requested to change an unsatisfactory subcontractor or

equipment/material supplier should the owner, A/E or SBA determine an unsatisfactory sub-

contractor is listed.

It is the responsibility of any contractor soliciting bids or quotes from the subcontractors

to verify the eligibility of all proposed subcontractors and equipment/material suppliers being

proposed to perform the work and to verify in writing the scope of work proposed by a

subcontractor or supplier. The Contractor has full responsibility for satisfactory execution of all

work in accordance with the contract documents. Any proposed change of subcontractors or

material suppliers must have prior written approval from the SBA and shall be at no additional

cost to the Owner, as the Contractor has full responsibility for execution of the work.

Contractors, subcontractors and equipment/material suppliers that are on SBA Probation are

prohibited from bidding any school project. List all subcontractors including your company

as the prime contractor along with WV contractor license number and the category of

work each will perform.
