PaP-ITH-CC-16-75 APPROVED, 3-26-72 COMM. OF PROP, & PROC. REVISD: 4-18408 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS (CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT) 1. Explanation te Bidders. Any explanation desired by a bidder regarding the meaning or interpretation of the invitation for bids, drawings, specifications, etc., must be requested in writing and with sufficient time allowed for a reply to reach bidders before the submission of their bids. Any interpretation made will be in the form of an amendment of the Invitation for bids, drawings, specifications, etc., and will be furnished to all prospective bidders. Its receipt by the bidder must be acknowledged by letter or telegram received before the time set for opening of bids. Oral explanations or instructions given before the award of the contract will not be binding. 2. Conditions Affecting the Work. Bidders should visit the site and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and the general and local conditions which can affect the work or the cost thereof. Failure to do so will not relieve bidders from the responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work. The Government will assume no responsibility for any understanding or representations concerning conditions made by any of its officers or agents prior to the execution of the contract, unless included in the invitation for bids, the specifications, or related documents. 3. Bidder's Qualifications. Before a bid is considered for award, the bidder may be requested by the Government to submit a statement regarding his previous experience in performing comparable work, his business and technical organization, financial resources, and plant available to be used in performing the work. 4. Bid Guarantee. Where a bid guarantee is required by the invitation for bids, failure to furnish a bid guarantee in the proper form and amount, by the time set for opening of bids, may be cause for rejection of the bid. A bid guarantee shall be in the form of a firm commitment, such as a bid bond, postal money order, certified check, cashier's check, irrevocable letter of credit or certain bonds or notes of the United States. Bid guarantees, other than bid bonds, will be returned (a) to unsuccessful bidders as soon as practicable after the opening of bids, and (b) to the successful bidder upon execution of such further contractual documents and bonds as may be required by the bid as accepted. If the successful bidder, upon acceptance of his bid by the Government within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty days if no period is specified) fails to execute such further contractual documents, if any, and give such bond(s) as may be required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by him, his contract may be terminated for default. In such event he shall be liable for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of his bid, and the bid guarantee shall be available toward offsetting such difference. 5. Preparation of Bids. (a) Bids shall be submitted on the forms furnished, or copies thereof, and must be manually signed. If erasures or other changes appear on the form, each erasure or change must be initialed by the person signing the bid. Unless specifically authorized in the invitation for bids, telegraphic bids will not be considered. (b) The bid form may provide for submission of a price or prices for one or more items, which may be lump sum bids, alternate prices, scheduled items resulting in a bid on a unit of construction or a combination thereof, etc. Where the bid form explicitly requires that the bidder bid on all items, failure to do so will disqualify the bid. When submission of a price on all items is not required, bidders should insert the words “no bid” in the space provided for any items on which no price is submitted. {c) Unless called for, alternate bids will not be considered. (d) Modifications of bids already submitted will be considered if received at the office designated in the invitation for bids by the time set for opening of bids. Telegraphic modifications will be considered, but should not reveal the amount of the original or revised bid. 6. Submission of Bids. Bids must be sealed, marked, and addressed as directed in the invitation for bids. Failure to do so may result in a premature opening of, or a failure to open, such bid. FORM NO.

OF PROP, & PROC, REVISD, 3-18-08 7, Late Bids and Modifications or Withdrawals. {a) Bids and modifications or withdrawals thereof received at the office designated in the invitation for bids after the exact time set for opening of bids will not be considered unless: (1) They are received before award is made; and either (2) they are sent by registered mail, or by certified mail for which an official dated post office stamp (postmarked) on the original Receipt for Certified Mail has been obtained and it is determined by the Government that the late receipt was due solely to delay in the mails for which the bidder was not responsible; or (3) if submitted by mail (or by telegram if authorized), it is determined by the Government that the late receipt was due solely to mishandling by the Government after receipt at the Government installation: Provided, That timely receipt at such installation is established upon examination of an appropriate date of time stamp (if any) of receipt (if readily available) within the control of such installation or of the post office serving it. However, a modification which makes the terms of the otherwise successful bid more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may thereafter be accepted. (b) Bidders using certified mail are cautioned to obtain a Receipt for Certified Mail showing a legible, dated postmark and to retain such receipt against the chance that it will be required as evidence that a late bid was timely mailed. (c) The time of mailing of late bids submitted by registered or certified mail shall be deemed to be the last minute of the date shown on the postmark on the registered mail receipt or registered mail wrapper or on the Receipt for Certified Mail unless the bidder furnishes evidence from the post office station of mailing which establishes an earlier time. In the case of certified mail, the only acceptable evidence is as follows: (1) Where the Receipt for Certified Mail identifies the post office station of mailing, evidence furnished by the bidder which establishes that the business day of that station ended at an earlier time, in which case the time of mailing shall be deemed to be the last minute of the business day of that station; or (2) an entry in ink on the Receipt for Certified Mail showing the time of mailing and the initials of the postal employee receiving the item and making the entry, with appropriate written verification of such entry from the post office station of mailing, in which case the time of mailing shall be the time shown on the entry.

(c) Except as herein provided, no order, statement, or conduct of the Contracting Officer shall be treated as a change under this clause or entitle the Contractor to an equitable adjustment hereunder. (d) If any change under this clause causes an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether or not changed by any order, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly: Provided, however, That except for claims based on defective specifications, no claim for any change under (b) above shall be allowed for any costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor gives written notice as therein required: And provided further, That in the case of defective specifications for which the Government is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include any increase cost reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with such defective specifications.

Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with the performance of the contract and in accordance with the Contracting Officer’s decision.

This authority has been delegated to a limited extent, in accordance with 31 VIC 250 (a), to certain officials of the Department of Property and Procurement. It is the bidder's responsibility to learn the limitations of an agent's authority. Since the Government does not exist as a person, its function must of necessity be carried out by agents, and it can . . . as a rule of thumb . . . be held liable only if these agents are authorized to act... and if they act . . . within the limitations of their authority. Hence, always be sure that the person with whom you are dealing has the authority to act. Invitation to Bids: Public Projects are generally performed following public notices and advertisement; competitive bidding, and awarding of a contract therefor. Bidding documents including plans and specifications, together with specific and detailed instructions, are generally purchasable for a fee and may often be obtained at the Main Offices of the Department of Property and Procurement. In order for a proposal to receive consideration it must conform to the advertisement and specifications and be clear and positive so that the Commissioner may determine therefrom exactly what the bidder proposes to do and the price therefor. Before filing a proposal, a bidder should read Form No. DPP-ITB-CC-16-73 (Instructions to Bidders—Construction Contracts) and all supplementary instructions. You are urged to familiarize yourself with Form No. DPP-GP-15- 73 (General Provisions, Construction Contract.) Purpose of Competition The underlying purpose for requiring competitive bidding is to promote and encourage competition and to guard against favoritism, improvidence, extravagance, fraud and corruption. Of equal importance is the desire to secure the best work at a cost considered most advantageous to the Government, quality offered, delivery terms and service reputation taken into consideration. Competitive bidding is for the benefit of taxpayers amd not for the benefit or enrichment of bidders and the statute will be so administered in order to accomplish this purpose fairly and reasonably with the sole reference to the public interest. Upon previously satisfying certain prerequisites all parties claiming the ability to perform the advertised contract will be allowed to compete freely without any unreasonable restrictions. Every element which enters into the competitive scheme will be applied and required equally for all and will not be left to the volition of any individual aspirant. Opening and Recording of Bids: At the hour and date previously set the bids will be "publicly opened" and full disclosure thereof made and recorded. Bids are generally . . . but not statutorily required to be . . . read May 1974 Revised 3-18-08 aloud. Thus, the reading will be confined to pertinent information such as the name of the bidder (whether or not he is a preferred bidder), address, period allowed for acceptance, discount for prompt payment, price, and time of delivery. Any bidder or his authorized representative, the general public, the press and any others having a legitimate interest will be permitted to inspect and copy the original record of the bids. None of the records will be allowed to pass out of the hand of the official charged with conducting the bid opening. Acceptance or Rejecting of Proposals Bids may be rejected on the basis of an administrative determination that rejection is in the best interest of the Government. This power will be exercised with a great deal of caution, prudence and good faith and under clear and unmistakable guidelines heretofore established. Award under a formal advertisement will be made to the bidder offering the most advantageous service to the Government, quality offered, delivery terms and service reputation taken into consideration. There are three (3) elements to eligibility for award: (a) responsiveness to the bid; (b) responsibility of the bidder and (c) price, "quality offered, delivery terms and service reputation." Definition of Elements: (a) Responsiveness to the bid specifications: Bid must meet all requirements specified therein. Bid must not contain any restrictions or qualifications beyond those stipulated in the Invitation. (b) Responsibility of the Bidder: Bidder must have the facilities technical capability and financial resources to complete contract in accordance with the terms of the Invitation. (c) Price reasonableness, "quality offered, delivery terms and service reputation.” All costs must be included. Your bid is your formal offer to supply the require items at the price you indicate and on the terms we specify. Don't promise deliveries cannot fulfill. Past performance will be thoroughly checked prior to the awarding of any contract. A bid generally will be considered "responsive" if it constitutes a definite, final and unqualified offer to meet the material terms of the invitation. A material term is that which could affect price, quality, quantity or delivery or is clearly required by the terms of the invitation to bid and non-compliance therewith is regarded as fatal to the bid for reasons of policy. Minor informalities will be ignored. A minor informality is a non-conformity which is merely a matter of form or is some non-essential variation. Refer to our Purchasing Manual of Procedures for detailed information. The Contract After the bids have been fully evaluated and a determination made there follows the actual acceptance by the Government and notification to the successful bidder. Thereafter a written contract is executed by the parties. The written contract will generally embody and include by reference the Advertisement, Proposal, Contract Bonds, General Provisions, Special Provisions and Plans and Specifications. May 1974 Revised 3-18-08 Notice to Proceed and all Work Orders will then follow. If the successful bidder, after being notified of the award and tender of the written contract, fails to execute same within the period set the Government may annul same and in such case the bid deposit will be forfeited and become the property of the Government. Operation and Administration of Contract The contractor is wholly responsible for the timely and satisfactory performance of the contract, He should either have adequate working capital or have a reasonably sound arrangement for obtaining such capital. Sufficient working capital is the contractor's problem and Jack of such capital will not constitute an excusable cause for delay. Additionally, the contractor must have the proper staff and necessary equipment to perform the contract. Strict Compliance The Government is ordinarily entitled to get the construction features it has specified. It is not within the province of the contractor to substitute his judgment by determining that something different is suitable. Government officials who are not technically authorized to issue either formal or constructive Change Orders do not generally hesitate to do so. Fortunately, there is a good, practical and legal solution to this problem. Immediately consult with the Commissioner or his duly authorized representative. An inspector is not generally authorized to make a contract change. Only the Contracting Officer—the Commissioner of the Department of Property and Procurement. Changes and Differing Site Conditions These provisions are without doubt the most significant features of a Government Contract. By these provisions the Government can unilaterally change the contract and hold the contractor to performance as changed. You are therefore urged to read and re-read Section 3 and 4 of the General Provisions of your Contract. The Differing Site Conditions Clause —Section 4 of the General Provisions-—is new. It provides a clear course of action which if followed by the contractor could remove one element of gambling. Disputes and Remedies Section 6 of the General Provisions provides a workable machinery for the asserting and settling of bona fide controversies which may arise under the contract. The clause provides the oil which lubricates the entire machinery of Government Contracts. The very structure of a Government Contract places the burden on the Contractor. After receipt of a Change Order—or a constructive change order—you are legally required by the contract to proceed with the work as changed, and to fight out the question of compensation later through the Disputes Clause, no matter how long that may take or how difficult it may be. If you fail to perform the changed work, you may be terminated for default, unless, of course the work is impossible to perform. In order to recover for the cost of financing the Changed Work you should assert your claim as promptly as possible. A prompt assertion of claim will protect you if done within the May 1974 Revised 3-18-08 specified time period. Remember always an assertion of-claim must be filed personally with the contracting officer or his authorized representative. No magic language is necessary to assert a claim. A simple notice of intent may as a rule of thumb be sufficient. Oral notice of claims should always be supplemented in writing. The disputes clause is included in the contract purposefully and is intended, absent fraud or bad faith, to provide a quick and efficient administrative remedy and to avoid vexatious and expensive litigations. Termination for Default—Damages for Delay—Time Extensions In Government Contracts, time is of the essence. If a contractor refuses or fails to: (i) take progress; (ii) perform, or (iii) complete the project within the time specified, he has in essence breached the contract. This gives the Government the right to cancel—that is terminate— the contract. Subparagraphs (b) and (c) of Section 5 of this Clause set forth the damages to which the Government is entitled if the default termination is valid and upheld. In addition to excess costs, the Government may also recover administrative costs and other direct damages. These kinds of damages are not covered by subparagraph (b). They may only be recovered as “other remedies” under subparagraph (g). "Excusable Delay" is permitted under subparagraph (d). The excuses granted in this clause are generally far more liberal than those generally accorded to delinquent contractors in commercial contracts. The provisions under subparagraph (e) have been included to prevent the contractor from obtaining breach of contract damages in the event the termination for default was improper for any reason whatsoever. Subparagraph (g) is a "catchall" provision. Most often, this clause is used to recoup damages other than "excess costs" provided for in subparagraphs (b) and (c). General Government contract imposes upon its contractors responsibilities with respect to subcontractors. These require suitable surveillance of Subcontractors to insure proper performance. The official spokesman of the Government of the Virgin Islands, with authority under Government Contracts, is the Commissioner of Property and Procurement and/or his duly authorized representative. Neither his superiors nor his subordinates speak with that authority. He carries a special warrant to perform that function. The Contracting Officer (The Commissioner of the Department of Property and Procurement) will deal with the contractor on behalf of the Government in accordance with the express term of the contract and the law. He will not waive vested rights of the Government. He will include in the contract those clauses required by law or the Rules and Regulations and administer them in accordance with law. In all matters where his discretion is to be exercised he will not function alone. He will obtain the consent to his decision of all interested advisors and counselors.
