SPECIAL INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS
(WATER DEPARTMENT)
1. PREQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT: All contractors submitting bids are
required to be prequalified by the Fort Worth Water Department prior to submitting
bids. This prequalification process will establish a bid limit based on a technical
evaluation and financial analysis of the contractor. It is the bidder's responsibility to
submit the following documentation: a current financial statement, an acceptable
experience record, an acceptable equipment schedule and any other documents the
Department may deem necessary, to the Director of the Water Department at least
seven(7) calendar days prior to the date of the opening of bids.
a) The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an independent
certified public accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid
permit issued by an appropriate State licensing agency and shall have been so
prepared as to reflect the financial status of the submitting company. This
statement must be current and not more than one (1) year old. In the case that a
bidding date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared, the previous
statement shall be updated by proper verification.
b) For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given project, it
must reflect the experience of the firm seeking qualification in work of both the
same nature and technical level as that of the project for which bids are to be
received.
c) The Director of the Water Department shall be the sole judge as to the
acceptability for financial qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water
Department project.
d) Bids received in excess of the bid limit shall be considered non-responsive and
will be rejected as such.
e) The City, in it's sole discretion, may reject any bid for failure to demonstrate
experience and/or expertise.
f) Any proposals submitted by a non-prequalified bidder shall be returned unopened,
and if inadvertently opened, shall not be considered.
g) The City will attempt to notify prospective bidders whose qualifications (financial
or experience) are not deemed to be appropriate to the nature and/or magnitude of
the project on which bids are to be received. Failure to notify shall not be a
waiver of any necessary prequalification.
2. BID SECURITY: A cashier's check or acceptable bidder's bond payable to the City
of Fort Worth in an amount of not less than five percent (5%) of the largest possible
total of the bid submitted must accompany the bid, and is subject to forfeiture in the
1
event the successful bidder fails to execute the Contract Documents within (10) days
after the contract has been awarded. To be an acceptable surety on the bond, (1) the
name of the surety shall be included on the current U.S. Treasury, or (2) the surety
must have capital and surplus equal to ten times the limit of the bond. The surety
must be licensed to do business in the State of Texas. The amount of the bond shall
not exceed the amount shown on the Treasury list or one-tenth (1/10) the total capital
and surplus.
3. BONDS: A performance bond, a payment bond and a maintenance bond each for one
hundred (100%) percent of the contract price will be required, Reference C 3-3.7.
4. WAGE RATES: Not less than the prevailing wage rates established by the City of
1i Fort Worth, Texas and as set forth in the contract documents must be paid on this
project.
5. AMBIGUITY: In the case of ambiguity or lack of clearness in stating prices in the
Proposal, the City reserves the right to adopt the most advantageous construction
thereof to the City or to reject the Proposal.
6. BIDDER LICENSE: Bidder must be a licensed Contractor in the State of Texas.
7. NONRESIDENT BIDDERS: Pursuant to Article 601g, Texas Revised Civil
Statutes, the City of Fort Worth will not award this contract to a nonresident bidder
unless the nonresident's bid is lower than the lowest bid submitted by a responsible
Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be
required to underbid a nonresident bidder to obtain a comparable contract in the State
in which the nonresident's principal place of business is located.
"Nonresident bidder" means a bidder whose principal place of business is not in the
State of Texas, but excludes a contractor whose ultimate parent company or majority
owner has its principal place of business in the State of Texas.
This provision does not apply if this contract involves Federal Funds.
The appropriate blanks of the Proposal must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in
order for the bid to meet specifications. The failure of a nonresident contractor to do
so will automatically disqualify that bidder.
8. PAYMENT: If the contract amount is $25,000 or less, the contract amount shall be
paid within forty-five (45) calendar days after completion and acceptance by the City.
9. AGE: In accordance with the policy ("Policy") of the Executive Branch of the
