  2. Document Review.  Each bidder will review the Contract Documents and any informational documents provided “For Reference Only,” e.g., as-builts, technical reports, test data, and the like.

Box 660, Napa, CA 94559 or sent via email to the City Clerk at clerk@cityofnapa.org before 5:00 p.m. no later than two Working Days following the date upon which the City posts the bid results (“Bid Protest Deadline”). The envelope containing the bid protest, or the subject line of the email transmitting the bid protest, must be addressed as follows: “Attn: Bid Protest - Soscol Avenue RehabilitationProject.” The bid protest must comply with the following requirements:

  1. General.  Only a bidder who has actually submitted a Bid Form is eligible to submit a bid protest against another bidder. Subcontractors are not eligible to submit bid protests. A bidder may not rely on the bid protest submitted by another bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest. For purposes of this Section, a “Working Day” means a day that City is open for normal business, and excludes weekends and holidays observed by City. Pursuant to Public Contract Code § 4104, inadvertent omission of a Subcontractor’s DIR registration number on the Subcontractor List form is not grounds for a bid protest, provided it is corrected within 24 hours of the bid opening or as otherwise provided under Labor Code § 1771.1(b).
  2. Protest Contents.  The bid protest must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest and must include all supporting documentation. Material submitted after the Bid Protest Deadline will not be considered. The protest must refer to the specific portion or portions of the Contract Documents upon which the protest is based. The protest must include the name, address, email address, and telephone number of the protesting bidder and any person submitting the protest on behalf of or as an authorized representative of the protesting bidder.
  3. Copy to Protested Bidder.  Upon submission of its bid protest to City, the protesting bidder must also concurrently transmit the protest and all supporting documents to the protested bidder, and to any other bidder who has a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest, by email or hand delivery to ensure delivery before the Bid Protest Deadline.
  4. Response to Protest.  The protested bidder may submit a written response to the protest, provided the response is received by City before 5:00 p.m., within two Working Days after the Bid Protest Deadline or after actual receipt of the bid protest, whichever is sooner (the “Response Deadline”). The response must attach all supporting documentation. Material submitted after the Response Deadline will not be considered. The response must include the name, address, email address, and telephone number of the person responding on behalf of or representing the protested bidder if different from the protested bidder.  
  5. Copy to Protesting Bidder.  Upon submission of its response to the bid protest to the City, the protested bidder must also concurrently transmit by email or hand delivery, by or before the Response Deadline, a copy of its response and all supporting documents to the protesting bidder and to any other bidder who has a reasonable prospect of receiving an award depending upon the outcome of the protest.
  6. Exclusive Remedy.  The procedure and time limits set forth in this Section are mandatory and are the bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a bid protest. A bidder’s failure to comply with these procedures will constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue a bid protest, including filing a Government Code Claim or initiation of legal proceedings.  
  7. Right to Award.  City reserves the right, acting in its sole discretion, to reject any bid protest that it determines lacks merit, to award the Contract to the bidder it has determined to be the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, as set forth in the Lowest Responsible Bidder section, below, and to issue a Notice to Proceed with the Work notwithstanding any pending or continuing challenge to its determination.
• Lowest Responsible Bidder —

  The Contract will be awarded, if at all, to the lowest responsible bidder. The lowest responsible bidder refers to the responsible bidder that submitted: (1) a responsive bid and (2) the lowest monetary bid, which may include factoring in a local bidder preference pursuant to Napa Municipal Code (“NMC”) Chapter 2.93, if applicable. A “responsible bidder” shall mean the bidder has demonstrated it is qualified to perform in accordance with the requirements identified in the Contract Documents, based on the bidder's experience, capacity, trustworthiness, quality and fitness. A “responsive bid” means a bid that was submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The “lowest monetary bid” means the lowest bid amount calculated by the City based on the objective calculation criteria identified in the Contract Documents.  For purposes of City Charter Section 101 and NMC Chapter 2.91, the lowest responsible bidder is the “lowest and best bidder,” as that term is used therein.

• Instructions to Bidders —

  All bidders should carefully review the Instructions to Bidders for more detailed information before submitting a Bid. The definitions provided in Article 1 of the General Conditions apply to all of the Contract Documents, as defined therein, including this Notice Inviting Bids.

• Reservation of Rights —

The Contract will be awarded, if at all, within 60 days after opening of bids or as otherwise specified in the Special Conditions, unless extended pursuant to the Bid Security section, above, to the lowest responsible bidder, as defined in the Lowest Responsible Bidder section, above. Any planned start date for the Project represents the City’s expectations at the time the Notice Inviting Bids was first issued. City is not bound to issue a Notice to Proceed by or before such planned start date, and it reserves the right to issue the Notice to Proceed when the City determines, in its sole discretion, the appropriate time for commencing the Work. The City expressly disclaims responsibility for any assumptions a bidder might draw from the presence or absence of information provided by the City in any form. Each bidder is solely responsible for its costs to prepare and submit a bid, including site investigation costs.

In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price.

  2. Estimated Quantities. The quantities shown on the Bid Schedule are estimated and the actual quantities required to perform the Work may be greater or less than the estimated amount. The Contract Price will be adjusted to reflect the actual quantities required for the Work based on the itemized or unit prices provided in the Bid Schedule, with no allowance for anticipated profit for quantities that are deleted or decreased, and no increase in the unit price, and without regard to the percentage increase or decrease of the estimated quantity and the actual quantity.
