           11.      REJECTION: The City Manager reserves the right to reject any and all Quotes and to waive minor irregularities and/or technicalities in the Quotes.     A Contractor’s failure to provide any additional information requested by the City prior to a Contractor selection may result in rejection of the Quote. The City may reject any Quote from any person, firm or corporation in arrears or in default to the City on any contract, debt, or other obligation, or if the Contractor is debarred by the City from consideration for a contract award.

In an effort to promote supplier diversity, The City encourages Contractors to identify and include qualified disadvantaged businesses as subcontractors when proposing to provide products and services to the City. The City reserves the right to approve or reject, in writing, any proposed subcontractor. If the City rejects any proposed subcontractor in writing, the successful Contractor shall be responsible for assuming the proposed subcontractor’s responsibilities.   The successful Contractor may propose another subcontractor if it does not jeopardize the effectiveness or efficiency of the contract. Nothing contained in the IFQ or in the contract shall create or be construed as creating any contractual relationship between the subcontractor and the City.

CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBILITY:   The Contractor must be capable, either as a firm or a team, of providing the goods or services as described in the Specifications and/or Scope of Services, and to maintain those capabilities until notification of the fact that their Quote response was unsuccessful. Exclusion of any good or service for the IFQ may serve as cause for rejection of the Quote. The successful Contractor will be responsible for all goods and services in the IFQ whether they are provided or performed by the successful Contractor or subcontractors. Further, the City will consider the successful Contractor to be the sole point of contact with regards to contractual matters, including payment of any and all charges resulting from the cost of any contract.
            20. CONTRACT COMMENCEMENT:   Commencement of a contract shall not begin prior to all necessary City approvals, including City Manager approval where required, and receipt of a Notice to Proceed.

If, to maintain satisfactory progress, it is necessary to increase the workforce or to work overtime, such additional work shall be without additional cost to the City.
Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contract under this provision will be grounds for determination by the City that the Contractor is not pursuing the work with such diligence as will ensure completion within the specified time limits. Upon such determination by the City, it may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, in accordance with the provisions governing Termination of Contract in these General Conditions.

H. Protection and Preservation of Land Monuments and Property Line Marks: The Contractor shall protect carefully from disturbance or damage, all land monuments and iron pins or other markers which establish property or street lines, provided that where such monuments or marker must, of necessity, be disturbed or removed in the performance of the contract, the Contractor shall first give ample notice to the City, so that he may witness or reference in such monuments or markers. Should the Contractor disturb, remove, or damage any established land monument or property or street line mark without first giving the City ample notice, the City may, at his option, deduct the cost of reestablishing such monuments or markers from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.
I. Safeguards: The Contractor shall at all times take every precaution to safeguard both employees and the public from hazards incidental to the work, and shall comply with all applicable provision of Federal, state and Municipal Safety Laws and Codes.

Certification of Nonsegregated Facilities (required) —
The bidder certifies that he does not maintain or provide for his employees any segregated facilities and does not permit his employees to perform their services at any location, under his control, where segregated facilities are maintained. The bidder certifies further that he will not maintain or provide for his employees any segregated facilities at any of his establishments, and that he will not permit his employees to perform their services at any location under his control where segregated facilities are maintained. The bidder agrees that a breach of this certification will be a violation of the Equal Opportunity clause in any contract resulting from acceptance of this bid. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating areas, time clocks, locker rooms and other storage or dressing areas, parking lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive or are in fact segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The bidder agrees that (except where he has obtained identical certification from proposed subcontractors for specific time periods) he will obtain identical certification from proposed subcontractors prior to the award of subcontracts exceeding $10,000 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity clause, and that he will retain such certifications in his files.
Right to Know Contractor Release Form (required) —
As a requirement to perform work for the City of Jackson on a contractual basis, I must have provided my employees with the basic training requirements of the HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD as prescribed by the Michigan Right to Know amendments to Act 154 of the Public Acts of 1974 (Act 80, Public Acts 1986), prior to starting any work for the City. While engaged in working for the City, I will continue to comply with Michigan Right to Know Law until completion of the contract.
I am aware that if I bring any hazardous chemical to the City's workplace, I must have available the MSDS for these chemicals, in a place accessible to all employees in the workplace. If necessary, due to the "special protection information" requirement stated on the MSDS for the chemicals, I will provide all employees with any special training, special protective clothing or equipment necessary to eliminate or lessen the possible exposure to the hazardous chemical or chemicals.
By execution of this Release, the contractor acknowledges that he and all subcontractors and suppliers will comply with all requirements of the HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD. Further, the contractor shall hold harmless from and indemnify the City against all claims, suits, actions, costs, counsel fees, expenses, damages, judgements or decrees, by reason of his failure, or the failure of any subcontractor, suppliers, or any person employed under said contractor to comply with the requirements of Act 154 of the Public Acts of 1974 as amended.
