RESPONSIBLE BIDDER CHECKLIST
Project Name East Bank Trail over Leeper Avenue Deck Replacement
Project No. 124-008
For Bids Due June 25, 2024
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.
**THIS FORM ONLY APPLIES TO BIDS GREATER THAN $250,000**
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-
6371 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10594-18 10975-23 (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 31st 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 6-6371 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 6-6371 of the Responsible Bidding Ordinance no later than the date of the public bid
opening.

POST BID SUBMISSIONS:
Post-bid submissions must be submitted in accordance with Section 6-6472 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 onetwo-hundred fifty
thousand dollars ($1250,000.00), 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 for projects greater than $250,000 and all subcontractors performing work
greater than $250,000 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.

or employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, gender expression, gender
identity, sexual orientation, or due to age or disability that does not affect that person's ability to perform thework.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
bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards,
or commissions will consider the Contractor’s good faith efforts to obtain participation by those
subcontractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority Business (“MBE”) or as a Women’s Business
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 an MWBE;
however, they may not unlawfully discriminate against said MBE/WBE. On goal-eligible contracts,
Contractors are required to either meet both MBE and WBE utilization goals or demonstrate that the
Contractor has made good faith efforts to obtain participation from MBE and WBE subcontractors. A finding
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.
7. The undersigned Contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment shall be made
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.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for employment in the
performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to
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
Version 07/19/2023 Contractor’s Bid for Public Works - 6 may result in forfeiture of contractual payments. *** I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct. Dated this day of , 20__ Contractor/Bidder (Firm) Signature of Contractor/Bidder or Its Agent
