ITB - Asbestos Sampling 2009

  • YEAR CREATED: 2009
  • ENTITY TYPE: State
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: BID - ITB, IFB, ITT, RFB
The document is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the State of California for a specific project. The document outlines the rules and procedures for submitting bids and the criteria for evaluating and awarding the contract. The document states that any deviation from the requirements stated in the IFB may result in the rejection of the bid. However, non-material deviations such as errors in mathematical computation or spelling may be accepted if they do not provide an unfair advantage to one bidder over others. Bids that contain false or misleading statements or references that do not support claimed attributes or conditions will be rejected. Bids received after the specified date and time will also be deemed non-responsive and rejected. The document emphasizes the importance of a signed Bid/Bidder Certification Sheet, stating that an unsigned bid may be rejected. It also mentions that all documents requiring a signature must bear an original signature of a person authorized to bind the bidding firm. The bids will be publicly opened and read at the specified time and place. The bids must constitute an irrevocable offer for a period of at least 90 days following the scheduled date for contract award and execution. The State will evaluate the bids to determine their responsiveness to the IFB. Upon bid opening, all original documents submitted in response to the IFB will become the property of the State of California and will be regarded as public records, except for confidential information. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be awarded the contract, unless there are specific reasons for not awarding it to the low bidder. Bidders have the right to protest the proposed award. The document also includes standard conditions of service, stating that the service should be available on the agreed-upon date and that any changes to the contract must be in writing and approved by both parties. It also mentions the optional Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Incentive program, which provides bid preferences for bidders who commit to subcontracting with DVBEs. The incentive amount varies based on the percentage of DVBE participation. Additionally, the document specifies that if the #1 ranked responsive, responsible bid is a California certified small business, it will receive the preference applied to the lowest responsive net bid price.
