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., August 30, 2022, and be publicly opened and read in the Council

Chambers at that time for DUCTILE IRON OR STEEL UTILITY POLES for the City of Fremont.

Each bid shall be accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check, or a bank draft on a solvent 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

"DUCTILE IRON OR STEEL UTILITY POLES". 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.
