ARTICLE17 AWARD OF CONTRACT

1701 OWNER reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including without limitation, nonconforming,
nonresponsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids. OWNER further reserves the right to reject the
Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation, to be non-responsible.
OWNER may also reject the Bid of any Bidder if OWNER believes that it would not be in the
best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder. OWNER also reserves the right to
waive all informalities not involving price, time or changes in the Work and to negotiate contract
terms with the Successful Bidder.

17.02 More than one Bid for the same Work from an individual or entity under the same or different
names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest
in more than one Bid for the Work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and the
rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest.

17.03 In evaluating Bids, OWNER will consider 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.

17.04 In evaluating Bidders, OWNER will consider the qualifications of Bidders and may consider the
qualifications and experience of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities
proposed for those portions of the Work for which the Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other
individuals or entities must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions..

17.05 OWNER may conduct such investigations as OWNER deems necessary to establish the
responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers
individuals, or entities to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

17.06 If the Contract is to be awarded, OWNER will award the Contract to lowest Bidder whose
evaluation by OWNER indicates to OWNER that the award will be in the best interests of the
Project.

ARTICLE18 CONTRACT SECURITY

18.01 Article 5 of the General Conditions, as may be modified by the Supplementary Conditions, sets
forth OWNER’s requirements as to Performance and Payment Bonds and insurance. When the
Successful Bidder delivers the executed Agreement to OWNER, it must be accompanied by such
Bonds.

ARTICLE19 SIGNING OF AGREEMENT

required number of unsigned counterparts of the Agreement with the other Contract Documents,
which are identified in the Agreement attached thereto. The Successful Bidder shall sign and
deliver the required number of counterparts of the Agreement and attached documents to
OWNER, including the Performance and Payment Bonds and the Certificate of Insurance. Within
10 days thereafter, OWNER shall deliver one fully signed counterpart to Successful Bidder with a
complete set of drawings with appropriate identification.

expenses suffered by the OWNERbecause of the unsuccessful appeal.
