exceeding sixty (60) days.
AWARD OF BID: If the bid is to be awarded, City will award the bid to the responsible Bidder whose
bid is responsive and conforms to all material terms and conditions of the bidding documents and proposed Purchase Agreement, is lowest in price, is in the best interest of the project, and other factors considered. The award will be based on the lowest responsive cumulative base bid plus any added
alternate schedules the City determines to include with the project. If the bid is awarded, the award will be made within the period specified in the Purchase Agreement. The successful Bidder will be notified by letter mailed to the address shown on the bid that the bid has been accepted and that Bidder has been
awarded the bid. CANCELLATION OF AWARD: The City reserves the right to cancel the award of any bid at any time
before the complete execution of the Purchase Agreement by all parties without any liability against the City.
EXECUTION AND APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT: The Purchase Agreement shall be signed by the successful Bidder and returned within the time shown on the bid. If the Purchase Agreement is not
executed by the City within fifteen (15) days following receipt from Bidder of the signed Agreement,
Bidder has the right to withdraw the bid without penalty. The Purchase Agreement is not effective until it has been fully executed by all of the parties thereto.
FAILURE TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT: Failure to execute the Purchase Agreement shall be just cause for annulment of the award. In the event of such annulment, the bid guarantee shall be forfeited to
the City, not as a penalty, but as liquidation of damages sustained. Award may then be made to the next lowest responsible and qualified Bidder, or the project may be re-advertised as the City may decide.
