by the State of Utah.

In concurrence with the requirements for permitting in the general conditions, it is the responsibility of the

contractor to obtain the fugitive dust plan requirements from the Utah Division of Air Quality and the SWPPP

requirements from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and submit the completed forms and pay any

permit fee that may be required for this specific project. Failure to obtain the required permit may result in work

stoppage and/or fines from the regulating authority that will be the sole responsibility of the contractor. Any delay

to the project as a result of any such failure to obtain the permit or noncompliance with the permit shall not be

eligible for any extension in the Contract Time.

9. Time is of the Essence

Time is of the essence in regard to all the requirements of the contract documents.

10. Bids

Before submitting a bid, each bidder shall carefully examine the contract documents; shall visit the site of the work;

shall fully inform themselves as to all existing conditions and limitations; and shall include in the bid the cost of all

items required by the contract documents including those added via addenda. If the bidder observes that portions

of the contract documents are at variance with applicable laws, building codes, rules, regulations or contain obvious

erroneous or uncoordinated information, the bidder shall promptly notify the DFCM Project Manager. Changes

necessary to correct these issues will be made via addenda issued by DFCM.

Bids are to be submitted electronically through a secure mailbox BidSync (www.bidsync.com

) until the date and

time on the Project Schedule. It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to ensure their bid reaches BidSync

before the closing date and time. There is no cost to the contractor to submit electronic bids via BidSync.

Electronic bids may require the uploading of electronic attachments. The submission of attachments containing

embedded documents (i.e., zip files, .mov, wmp, and mp3 files, etc.) is prohibited. All documents should be

attached as separate files.

A bid bond properly signed by a qualified surety, as indicated on the DFCM Bid Bond form provided along with

this Instruction to Bidders, in the amount of 5% of the bid, shall accompany the bid submission and uploaded in

BidSync. If the bid bond is not furnished with the bid through Bidsync, the BID is NONRESPONSIVE.

THIS BID BOND MUST BE ON THE DFCM BID BOND FORM PROVIDED WITH THIS INSTRUCTION TO

BIDDERS IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED AN ACCEPTABLE BID unless only one bid is received by

DFCM, or the failure to comply with the bid bond requirements is determined by the Director of DFCM to be

nonsubstantial based on the following:

A. the bid bond is submitted on a form other than DFCM’s required Bid Bond form and the bid bond meets

all other requirements including being issued by a surety firm authorized to do business in the State of

Utah and be listed in the U.S. Department of the Treasury Circular 570, Companies Holding Certificates

of Authority as Acceptable Securities on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsuring Companies for an

amount not less than the amount of the bond to be issued. A co-surety may be utilized to satisfy this

requirement; and
