    • Quantities

      All quantities entered by the Agency herein and within the corresponding Pricing Items within the noted Internet System are for calculating purposes only.  

    • Contract Form

      The Agency will not execute a contract on the successful bidder's form–contracts will only be executed on the Agency form (please see Sample Contract) and by submitting a bid, the successful bidder agrees to do so (please note that the Agency reserves the right to amend this form as the Agency deems necessary).  However, the Agency will during the IFB process (prior to the submittal deadline) consider any contract clauses that the proposer wishes to include therein and submits in writing a request for the Agency to do so; but the failure of the Agency to include such clauses does not give the successful bidder the right to refuse to execute the Agency's contract form.  It is the responsibility of each prospective bidder to notify the Agency, in writing, prior to submitting a bid, of any contract clause that he/she is not willing to include in the final executed contract and abide by. The Agency will consider and respond to such written correspondence, and if the prospective bidder is not willing to abide by the Agency's response (decision), then that prospective bidder shall be deemed ineligible to submit a bid.

    • Prior Agency Approval Required

      Please note that the successful bidder shall NOT conduct any additional work without the prior written authorization of the Agency representative (via delivery of a Task Order, which may take the form of an e-mail). Failure to abide by this directive shall release the Agency of any obligation to pay the successful bidder for any work conducted without the noted prior written authorization.

    • Addenda

      All Questions and requests for information may be addressed in writing to the CF.  The CF will respond to all such inquiries in writing by addendum to all prospective bidders (i.e., firms or individuals that have obtained the IFB Documents).  During the IFB solicitation process, the CF will NOT conduct any ex parte (a substantive conversation—“substantive” meaning, when decisions pertaining to the IFB are made—between the Agency and a prospective bidder when other prospective bidders are not present) conversations that may give one prospective bidder an advantage over other prospective bidders.  This does not mean that prospective bidders may not call the CF—it simply means that, other than making replies to direct the prospective bidder where his/her answer has already been issued within the solicitation documents, the CF may not respond to the prospective bidder’s inquiries but will direct him/her to submit such inquiry in writing so that the CF may more fairly respond to all prospective bidders in writing by addendum.

    • Bid Bond

If the successful bidder refuses to sign the contract after award, the bid bond is forfeited, and the award will then go to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder. If a bid bond or guarantee is not submitted with the bid, the Agency will reject the bid as non-responsive. The Agency anticipates that it will not return any bid bonds until the contract has been awarded and the required performance and payments bonds have been furnished until all bids have been rejected; or the time specified for acceptance of bids has expired. In fairness to the other bidders, the Agency may also choose to return the bid bonds if the Agency has a firm and reasonable assurance that the responsive and responsible bidder who submitted the lowest cost will execute the contract.

      An aggrieved bidder shall have three (3) business days after the date of issuance of the notice of intent to award, or notice of respondents selected to advance to a tier of competition, to submit to the CF, a written protest of the matter described in the award. The written protest must specify the grounds upon which the protest is based demonstrate the basis for the protestor’s status as an aggrieved bidder.

      A bidder is an aggrieved bidder only if the person or entity is one to whom a notice of selection of a competitive tier or notice of an intent to award has been, or should have been, sent and such person or entity has been erroneously denied the award of a Contract or has been erroneously eliminated from contract because:

      • All higher-ranked bidders were non-responsive or all higher ranked bidders clearly failed to meet the Standards of Responsibility;
      • The evaluation of bids was not conducted in accordance with the criteria or processes described in the Solicitation documents;
      • The evaluator abused his or her discretion in disqualifying the protestor’s bid as Nonresponsive or as failing to meet the Standards of Responsibility; or
      • The evaluation of bids or subsequent determination of award was otherwise made in violation of the Public Contracting Code or the Agency’s Public Contracting Rules.

The COO may not consider a protest that is filed in an untimely manner or that fails to allege facts that would support a finding that the protestor is an aggrieved bidder. This decision may be appealed to the Agency’s Board of Commissioners by providing a written appeal to the Executive Director within three (3) business days after the date on which the COO sends his or her decision to the bidder’s postal address specified in the written protest. The decision of the Board, or if no timely appeal to the Board is made, the decision of the COO shall be the final decision of Agency on the protest.

    • Required HUD Forms and Documents

      Contractors are to download and completed all required HUD forms indicated in the solicitation and contracting process. All HUD Forms are available at https://www.hud.gov/hudclips. All forms may not be modify without written HUD approval from the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

    • IMPORTANT NOTICE! Entry of Proposed Fees.

      Except as provided for otherwise, bidders must submit a realistic cost for each and every Pricing Item detailed within the preceding Table. The eProcurement Portal will automatically perform all required calculations.

      1. Realistic Cost for each Pricing Item.
        Each bidder is strongly encouraged to enter, where provided within the eProcurement Portal a realistic cost for the Pricing Item. For example, if a bidder enters what the Agency deems to be an unrealistic sum such as $20,000 Pricing Item (bidders typically do so in an effort to improve their position in regards receiving an award), then the $20,000 is what the successful bidder will charge the Agency to complete all of the construction work that the Agency has listed herein and within Attachment H, attached hereto. Accordingly, it is the Agency’s opinion that it is very much in the best interests of the bidder to propose a realistic firm-fixed fee for the Pricing Item. If, despite this warning, the successful bidder proposes a fee that the Agency deems is not realistic, then the Agency reserves the right to declare that the bidder is non-responsive, and the Agency may reject the bidder’s offer
        1. Review of the Entry of Proposed Fees.
          After a bidder has entered where provided within the eProcurement Portal his/her proposed unit costs for the Pricing Items, the Portal will automatically multiply the proposed firm-fixed fee that the Agency has published. The Agency strongly recommends that each bidder, after the entry of these proposed fees within the eProcurement Portal, print the receipt provided and review the entry to ensure that the bidder has entered the proposed fees correctly (the Portal will allow the bidder to immediately re-enter the Portal at any time prior to the posted deadline to correct any such entry). The bidder will NOT be able to correct this entry after the posted deadline has expired, which means that the Agency will utilize such entry, correct or incorrect, to determine the apparent low bidder
        2. No Post-submittal Deadline Corrections Allowed.
          The Agency WILL NOT, after the submittal deadline, negotiate an increase to any unit costs or fees proposed prior to the submittal deadline; accordingly, bidders are strongly cautioned to submit a realistic price for the Pricing Items.
    • Project Timeline

      The contractor must complete all work within 60 days from the start date, weather permitting. Any delays must be communicated to Fresno Housing immediately.

    • Liquidated Damages

      Time is of the essence in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor acknowledges that the Agency may sustain damages due to delayed performance, failure to timely perform services, failure to meet required response times, failure to complete assigned work within required timeframes, or failure to satisfy deadlines established under this Contract.

      Where the Contract Documents, Scope of Work, specifications, service requirements, work orders, task orders, project schedules, notices to proceed, or other written directives issued by the Agency establish a required completion date, response time, milestone, deliverable deadline, or performance period during the Contract term, the Contractor’s failure to comply with such requirement may result in the assessment of liquidated damages.

      The parties agree that:

      1. The actual damages sustained by the Agency for delayed or incomplete performance are difficult or impracticable to precisely determine;
      2. The liquidated damages amount identified in the solicitation, contract documents, work order, task order, or other Agency-issued directive represents a reasonable estimate of anticipated damages and administrative costs; and
      3. Liquidated damages are intended as compensation to the Agency and not as a penalty.

      Unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, the Agency may assess liquidated damages in the amount of $500.00 per calendar day for each day the Contractor fails to meet an established completion date, response time, milestone, deliverable deadline, or required performance period.

      Liquidated damages may be deducted from amounts otherwise due to the Contractor or recovered through any other remedy available under the Contract, HUD requirements, 2 CFR Part 200, Federal law, California law, or other applicable regulations.

      Liquidated damages shall not be assessed where delays are determined by the Agency to be beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, provided the Contractor submits a timely written notice requesting an extension of time in accordance with the Contract requirements.

    • Assistance to Small and Other Business, Required Efforts

      Within our Agency Procurement Policy, it states that our Agency will:

      • Include such firms, when qualified, on solicitation mailing lists;
      • Encourage their participation through direct solicitation of bids or proposals whenever they are potential sources;
      • Divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by such firms;
      • Establish delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by such firms;
      • Use the services and assistance of the Small Business Administration, and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce;
      • Include in contracts, to the greatest extent feasible, a clause requiring contractors, to provide opportunities for training and employment for lower income residents of the project area and to award subcontracts for work in connection with the project to business concerns which provide opportunities to low-income residents, as described in 24 CFR Part 75 (so-called Section 3 businesses); and
      • Require prime contractors, when subcontracting is anticipated, to take the positive steps listed above. 
    • Submission Conditions

      Do not fold or make any additional marks or notations on the documents to be submitted.  Bidders are not allowed to change any requirements or forms contained herein, either by making or entering onto these documents or the documents submitted any revisions or additions; and if any such additional marks, notations or requirements are entered on any of the documents that are submitted to the Agency by the proposer, such may invalidate that proposal.  If, after accepting such a proposal, the Agency decides that any such entry has not changed the intent of the proposal that the Agency intended to receive, the Agency may accept the proposal and the proposal shall be considered by the Agency as if those additional marks, notations or requirements were not entered on such.  By accessing the noted Internet System, registering and downloading these documents, each prospective bidders that does so is thereby agreeing to confirm all notices that the Agency delivers to him/her as instructed, and by submitting a bid, the bidder is thereby agreeing to abide by all terms and conditions published herein and by addendum pertaining to this IFB.

    • Professional Liability Insurance

      An original certificate showing the proposer's professional liability and/or "errors and omissions" coverage (minimum of $1,000,000 each occurrence, general aggregate minimum limit of $2,000,000), with a commercially reasonable deductible (e.g., “commercially reasonable,” meaning at least 1% of the “general aggregate minimum” of the policy, with a maximum deductible amount of $50,000;

    • Required Licensing

      The Contractor(s) shall be in possession of any current appropriate licensing that may be required by the County of Fresno (and/or, if applicable, any city jurisdiction therein in which work will be performed) and/or the State of California. The Contractor shall be duly licensed in accordance with the State of California, and will eventually be required to provide the Agency proof of such current licensing.

    • HUD Forms

      Please note that the Agency has no legal right or ability to (and will not) at any time negotiate any clauses contained within ANY of the HUD forms included as a part of this IFB.

    • Price Escalation of Firm-Fixed Fees

      There shall be no escalation of the proposed firm-fixed fee amounts proposed and awarded at any time during the ensuing contract periods (except for, as designated by HUD, appropriate Agency-approved change orders awarded for “unforeseen conditions” within the general scope of work).

    • Payment Bond

      The payment bond is a method of ensuring that the Contractor pays the subcontractors and suppliers. By requiring payment bonds, the Agency avoids becoming entangled in disputes concerning payment of subcontractors and suppliers by the general contractor. The surety underwriting the payment bond ensures the contractors and suppliers will be paid. Often, performance and payment bonds are combined into a single document. Failure to pay subcontractors for work performed in commercial contracts may often lead to the subcontractor filing a mechanic’s lien against the property owners to obtain payment for services rendered. The Agency contract requires the payment bond to prevent this problem and ensure that no lien will be filed against any Agency building or lot of ground. As a reminder, Clause 24 of form HUD-5370, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction (Attachment G-1 attached hereto) clearly forbids the placement of any liens and is binding on any contractor, subcontractor, and material supplier.

    • No Deposits/No Retainers

      The Agency will NOT pay any deposits or retainer fees as a result of award of the ensuing contract (such is not allowed per relevant HUD regulation).  This means that the Agency will pay the successful proposer(s) for actual services provided only.

    • Automobile Insurance

      An original certificate showing the proposer’s automobile insurance coverage in a combined single limit of $1,000,000.  For every vehicle utilized during the term of this program, when not owned by the entity, each vehicle must have evidence of automobile insurance coverage with limits of no less than $50,000/$100,000 and medical pay of $5,000.

    • Submission Responsibilities

      It shall be the responsibility of each bidder to be aware of and to abide by all dates, times, conditions, requirements and specifications set forth within all applicable documents issued by the Agency, including the IFB document, and any addenda and required attachments submitted by the proposer.  By virtue of completing, signing and submitting the completed documents, the proposer is stating his/her agreement to comply with all conditions and requirements set forth within those documents.  Written notice from the bidder not authorized in writing by the CF to exclude any of the Agency requirements contained within the documents may cause that proposer to not be considered for award.

    • Labor Standards and Prevailing Wage Requirements
      Federal Labor Standards (Davis-Bacon)
      This project is funded in whole or in part with federal funds and is subject to the labor standards provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act, as administered by the U.S. Department of Labor and required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
