Sealed Bids will be
received at the office of the City Clerk in the City Building, 400 East
Military Avenue, Fremont, Nebraska, until 2:00 p.m., February 27, 2018, and be
publicly opened and read in the Council Chambers at that time for THREE PHASE
PAD MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS for the City
of Fremont.
Each bid shall be
accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check, or a bank draft on a solvent
Nebraska bank insured by FDIC or a bid bond in the amount not less the five
percent (5%) of the bid price. That bid security shall be sealed and addressed
to the City Clerk, Fremont, Nebraska and labeled on the outside "THREE PHASE PAD MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS". Any bids received from contractors not so
qualified will be returned unopened.
The bid security shall
guarantee the bidder's good faith to enter into the contract within fifteen (15)
days at the bid price if accepted by the City Council. Any proposal received which is not
accompanied by a bid security will not be considered. The bid security of the successful bidder
will be retained until the material has been delivered and accepted by the
City. The bid security of the
unsuccessful bidders will be returned when their bids are rejected. The City of Fremont hereby reserves the right
to accept that bid which, in its judgment, will produce the best job of
workmanship and material, whether or not it is the lowest bid; and reserves the
right to reject any or all bids and to waive any or all informalities of any
proposal.
The successful bidder will
be required to submit an acceptable Affirmative Action Statement and Program to
the Office of the Mayor within ten (10) days after the bid has been awarded by
the Fremont City Council. Failure to
submit an acceptable Affirmative Action Statement and Program within the time
allotted shall result in the forfeiture of the bidder's bond.
