Unless a form included in this Bid Package expressly specifies otherwise, all bid proposals must be submitted on the Proposal Forms furnished herein and must be enclosed in a sealed opaque envelope, with the name of the Bidder and the name of the project plainly and clearly marked on the outside as follows:

TO: Attn: Jillian C. Barrick, Town Administrator

Town of Morristown

200 South Street, 2nd Floor, Room 239

Morristown, NJ 07960

Bidder:

Street Address: ___________________________________

Project: REHABILITATE RUNWAY 5-23, PHASES VIII AND IX - (PHASE F CONSTRUCTION)

When sent by mail, preferably certified mail, the sealed bid proposal, marked as indicated above, should be enclosed in an additional envelope. No bid will be accepted after the Receipt Deadline specified above. The Town shall not be responsible for any bid not delivered in person to the loading dock of the Municipal Building, 200 South Street, Morristown, NJ, 07960 at or before the Receipt Deadline. The Town shall award the Contract or reject all bids within 60 days of bid opening, except that the bid of any bidder who consents thereto where indicated in the bid documents, may be held for consideration for such longer period as may be agreed, but in no event exceeding 210 days without further consent.

All prospective bidders are highly encouraged to attend the pre-bid conference to discuss the proposed construction and the plans and specifications.

Bidders may visit the project site by prior appointment with Morristown Municipal Airport Administration. To schedule a project site visit appointment, contact Darren Large, Director, Facilities & Operations, at (973) 538-6400.

A Proposal Guaranty—in the form of either a Cashier’s check drawn upon a state or national bank or a Proposal Bond with a Surety’s Bond Affidavit and in the penal sum of five percent (5%) of the total maximum bid amount—will be required with each bid proposal. After the bids are publicly opened the Proposal Guaranty of the two (2) apparent lowest responsible bidders will be retained until a final award is made. All other Proposal Guaranties will be returned to the bidder that proffered it within ten (10) days after the opening of bids, unless otherwise requested by the bidder. After the contract has been awarded and executed, the unsuccessful bidder’s Proposal Guaranty will be returned as soon as practicable, while the Proposal Guaranty of the winning bidder will be returned as soon as the Town receives the contract bonds as required herein. Failure to include the requisite Proposal Guaranty, in the format prescribed herein, with your bid Proposal, is a fatal defect that will render your bid unresponsive and require that it be rejected.

Bidders are directed to the Proposal Forms included in the specifications, in particular the Proposal Checklist, for identification of required Category 1 documents as well as Category 2 documents. Failure to provide Category 1 bid documents will automatically render the bid unresponsive and require rejection of the bid.

Prospective bidders are cautioned not to rely solely on this Invitation to Bid, but to read the Bid Package in its entirety.
