The term “lowest responsible and responsive Bidder” as used herein shall mean the Bidder whose bid is the lowest of those Bidders possessing the skill, ability, and integrity necessary for the faithful performance of the work, whose bid best serves the interests of and represents the best value to each City, as determined by their respective City Commission and/or the City Manager. The Bidder will also be evaluated with respect to whether and to the extent they are “responsible” based upon their quality control plan, safety plan and proposed project schedule. SIB and NMB will each evaluate the bids with the intent of awarding a contract to the combined lowest responsive and responsible Bidder for both of the Projects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each City reserves the right to forego awarding on a combined basis and may award the bid to the lowest responsible and responsive Bidder whose bid best serves the interests of and represents the best value to each City. Additionally, the Cities each reserve their right to reject any bid or part of a bid that does not conform to the bidding requirements or to modify or waive all formalities and technicalities in a bid, or to reject all bids. In the event that the Cities bid evaluation results in an award to the same Contractor, the following terms shall control: a. Each City will award a separate contract for its portion of the Projects to the selected Contractor and shall be responsible for administering their own contract with respect to performing inspections, approving pay applications, reviewing change orders, testing, permitting, as-built review and certifications. However, both Cities will work together to ensure that there will be only one mobilization for the Projects and that the Projects will be completed simultaneously. b. The awarded Contractor will be required to furnish bonds and insurance to each individual City, for their respective contracts. In the event that the evaluation of the bids does not result in the Projects being awarded to the same Contractor, the following terms shall control: a. Each City shall proceed with their respective Project utilizing separate and distinct Contractors. b. The Cities and the awarded Contractors agree to utilize best efforts in coordinating the work for the Projects. 2.5 NOTIFICATION TO BEGIN WORK SHALL BE GIVEN THROUGH A NOTICE TO PROCEED The Contractor shall neither commence any work, nor enter a City work premise, until a written Notice to Proceed (NTP) from the agency directing the Contractor to proceed with the work has been received by the Contractor from the City Manager or designee; provided however, that such notification shall be superseded by any emergency work that may be required in accordance with provisions included elsewhere in this solicitation and resultant contract.
