CONTRACTOR'S BID FOR PUBLIC WORK
RESPONSIBLE BIDDER CHECKLIST
Project Name North Shore Drive Bank Stabilization
Project No. 118-005A
For Bids Due December 8, 2020
Contractor Name:
The City seeks to enhance its ability to identify responsive and responsible bidders on all City public works
projects by institution of comprehensive submission requirements in compliance with State law. Quality
workmanship, efficient operation, safety, and timely completion of projects requires that all bidders meet
certain minimum requirements to be responsive and responsible bidders.
THIS FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR BID.
INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section I only.
If you are not a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section II only.
Section II acts as an application for pre -qualification. Submission of Section II will allow the bidder to be
considered for pre -qualification for bids with the City of South Bend Department of Public Works. Pre-
qualified bidders will then be exempt from a portion of the submission requirements outlined in Section 6-
63 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10594-18 (hereinafter, "Responsible Bidding Ordinance")
for a period of twelve (12) months.
Thereafter, contractors who are pre -qualified must submit a complete application for continuation of "pre-
qualified" standing, on a form provided by the City ("Responsible Bidder Checklist (1) Pre -Qualified
Bidders") by December 31 st for the upcoming calendar year, or within twelve (12) months of obtaining pre-
qualified standing. If the status of any item changes within the twelve (12) months, it is the responsibility of
the contractor to notify the City. Failure by any pre -qualified contractor to submit its complete application
for continuation of "pre -qualified" standing within the time prescribed above shall result in automatic removal
of the designation, effective January 1 of the following year, or immediately following the twelve (12) months
of pre -qualified standing.
However, the "removed" contractor or subcontractor shall still be permitted to bid on City public works
projects, though the contractor must submit all required documents under 6-63 until "pre -qualified" status
is re-established.
Please Note: The City reserves the right to request supplemental information from the bidder,
additional verification of any information provided by the bidder, and may also conduct random
inquiries of the bidder's current and previous customers regardless of pre -qualified standing.
It is the sole responsibility of the potential bidder to comply with all submission requirements applicable to
the bidder in Section 6-63 of the Responsible Bidding Ordinance no later than the date of the public bid
opening.
Version 01/29/2020 General Conditions - 6
POST BID SUBMISSIONS:
Post -bid submissions must be submitted in accordance with Section 6-64 of the Responsible Bidding
Ordinance. The post -bid submission requirements are as follows:
1. All bidders shall collect, maintain, and provide upon request, a current written list that discloses the
name, address, licensing status, and type of work for any subcontractor from whom the bidder has
accepted a bid and/or intends to hire on any part of the public work project, including individuals
performing work as independent contractors.
2. Each subcontractor, whose portion of the project is estimated to be at least one -hundred fifty
thousand dollars ($150,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section I of the
Responsible Bidder Ordinance as though it were bidding directly to the City, except that the
subcontractor shall submit the required information (including the name, address, and type of work)
to the successful bidder prior to the commencement of work.
3. Failure of a subcontractor to submit the required information shall not disqualify the successful
bidder from performing work on the project and shall not constitute a contractual default and/or
breach by the successful bidder. However, the City may withhold all payment otherwise due for
work performed by a subcontractor, until the subcontractor submits the required information and
the City approves such information.
4. The disclosure of a subcontractor list ("Disclosed Subcontractor(s)") to the City by a bidder shall
not create any rights in the Disclosed Subcontractor(s). Thus, a bidder may substitute another
subcontractor for a Disclosed Subcontractor by giving the City, upon request, written notice of the
name, address, licensing status, and type of work of the substitute subcontractor.
5. The successful bidder and all subcontractors on a public works project are required to submit
certified payroll utilizing the federal form known as WH -347 or a similar form on a bi-weekly basis,
submitted within 10 days after the end of each bi-weekly payroll period. Certified payrolls shall
identify the job title and craft for each employee. Certified payrolls shall be submitted
electronically.
Please Note: Submissions deemed inadequate, incomplete, or untimely by the City may result in
the automatic disqualification of the bid.
The City, after review of complete and timely submissions, shall, in its sole discretion, after taking into
account all information in the submission requirements, determine whether a bidder is responsive and
responsible, and provide a Pre -Qualification Verification Letter. The City specifically reserves the right to
utilize all information provided in the contractor's submission and any information obtained by the City
through its own independent verification of the information provided by the contractor.

In awarding contracts .for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials, or any
combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts awarded under public

Enterprise ("WBE") as a factor in determining the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.
Contractors seeking the award of a City contract cannot be required to award a subcontract to arr-MWBE;
however, they may not unlawfully discriminate against said MBE/WBE. A fording of noncompliance or a
discriminatory practice shall prohibit that Contractor from being awarded a City contract for a period of one
(1) year from the date of such determination, and such determination may also be grounds for terminating
the contact to which the discriminatory practice or noncompliance pertains.

a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South Bend, Indiana or any of its
agencies, boards or commissions.

employment, because of race, religion, color, sex, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation,
handicap, national origin or ancestry. Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of
contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my statutory
obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby
certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will use steel products or foundry
products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to
notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products
made in the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification
to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is
unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry
products made in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination
if the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder
may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.

The Contractor and Surety are bound to the Owner in the amount set forth above, for the payment of which the

difference, not to exceed the amount of this Bond, between the amount specified in said bid and such larger amount
for which the Owner may in good faith contract with another party to perform the work covered by said bid, then this

any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted herefront and
provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be deemed incorporated herein. When so
furnished, the intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common law bond.
