The following are written questions submitted with answers for the above noted bid. Contractors are required to acknowledge receipt of addendum #1 and #2 on the bid form submitted.

Question 1: The bid bond is requested to be 10% over the bid amount. Why is this?

Answer: This is the District’s standard requirement for any construction project. Please review Section G of the Instruction to Bidders, which indicates the amount of the bid bond and how the bid bond will be used.

Question 2: There are no bid drawings for the concrete work. When will these be issued?

Answer: Attached. Document #3 and #2.

Question 3: There are no bid drawings for the electrical work. When will these be issued?

Answer: Attached. Document #5.

Question 4: There are no bid drawings for the mechanical work. When will these be issued?

Answer: Refer to Mechanical (heating) - described fully in Specifications section 13123 paragraph 2.22 and is to be designed, supplied and installed by the greenhouse contractor following this description.

Question 5: The specs are calling out a new boiler in the new greenhouse. This will result in two (2) boilers in the new expanded one (1) zone greenhouse. Is this the intent?

Answer: Yes. A new boiler and replacement boiler.

Question 6: The specs are calling out a new roll up garage type door & a new entry door in the new greenhouse. This will result in the new expanded greenhouse to have two roll up doors and two entry doors directly opposite of each other. Is this in error?

Answer: No. This is not an error.

Question 7: Pg. 20 – We are an out of state specialized greenhouse designer, manufacturer, and contractor – can this section (“O” pg 20 below) be waived? The Contractor understands, agrees and shall comply with the requirement that at least 50% of the labor hours on this Project must be performed by actual residents of Illinois pursuant to 20 ILCS 805/805-350.

Answer: No, this cannot be waived. This project is funded through a Museum Grant by the State of Illinois (IDNR).

Question 8: Pg. 23. What type of glass is currently installed on the Ron Dodd Showhouse?

Answer: Frosted laminate.

Question 9: What type of laminated glass is required for the new glass reglaze?

Answer: Frosted laminate.

Question 10: Pg. 25 – the scope for the Reglaze of Ron Dodd Showhouse is calling for salvaging, cleaning, and reusing the existing bar caps. From our experience we would strongly recommend using new bar caps because the time required to clean the existing bar caps and then assuring they are flat and usable to assure a watertight glazed system make this an inefficient and bad idea. Can the specifications be changed to require new bar caps?

Answer: Based bid is on “salvaging, cleaning, and reusing the existing bar caps”

Question 11: What date is the award of the contract expected?

Answer: Estimate date is September 30.

Answer: Yes. This is an error. Fabricate from the following material: galvanized steel.

Question 15: P. 76, sect 2.22.D Heating / Boiler. This section is calling out a new boiler. Is this in error?

G. SURETY

All bids must be accompanied by a bid bond or bank cashier’s check payable to the Joliet Park District for ten percent (10%) of the amount of the bid and drawn on a responsive and responsible bank doing business in the United States. All bids not accompanied by a bid security, when required, will be rejected.

The bid security of all except the three (3) lowest responsive and responsible Bidders will be returned after the decision to accept or reject bids by the Joliet Park District Board of Park Commissioners. The bid security of the three (3) lowest responsible Bidders will be returned after acceptance by the Park District from the successful Bidder, an acceptable Performance Bond, Labor and Materials/Payment Bond and a certificate of insurance naming the Joliet Park District as the certificate holder and as additional insured, and the successful Bidder has executed and returned to the Park District the Contract for the Work presented by the Park District.

Prior to beginning Work, the successful Bidder shall furnish a Performance Bond, and Labor and Materials/Payment Bond in the amount of 110% of the Contract Sum, using a form similar to the AIA-A312- 2010 form, or its current equivalent, or one acceptable to Owner, cosigned by a surety company licensed to conduct business in the State of Illinois and with at least an “A” rating and a financial rating of at least “X” in the latest edition of the Best Insurance Guide.

The failure of the successful Bidder to enter into the Contract and supply the required bonds and evidence of insurance within ten (10) days after the Contract is presented for signature, or within such extended period as the Park District may grant, shall constitute a default, and the Park District may either award the Contract to the next responsible Bidder, or re-advertise for bids. In the event of a default, the Owner need not return the defaulting Bidder’s bid surety and may charge against the defaulting Bidder for the full difference between the amount for the bid and the amount for which a Contract for the Work is subsequently executed, irrespective of whether the amount thus due exceeds the amount of the defaulting Bidder’s bid surety, provided that the District’s retention of the bid guarantee shall not preclude the District from holding the Bidder fully liable for any and all damages which are in excess of said partial liquidated damages, and which shall otherwise be incurred by the District, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from the Bidder’s failure to enter into said Contract and to deliver the same back to the District within said ten (10) day period.

H. WITHDRAWAL OF BID

Bidders may withdraw or cancel their bids at any time prior to the advertised bid opening time by signing and submitting a request for said withdrawal. After the bid opening time, no bid shall be withdrawn or canceled for a period of ninety (90) calendar days.

I. ACCEPTANCE AND CONTRACT

Owner will award the Contract to the lowest most responsible and responsive Bidder, as determined by Owner. In considering the Bidder’s responsibility, the Owner may evaluate, among other factors, the ability of the Bidder to provide experienced labor sufficient in numbers to timely and properly complete the services, conformity with the Specifications, serviceability, quality, and the financial capability of the Bidder, and the performance of the Bidder on other projects.

The Owner shall have the right to accept Alternates in any order or combination, and to determine the low Bidder on the basis of the sum of the Base Bid and Alternates accepted or to award Alternates separately, to the Bidder providing the lowest responsible bid for the respective Alternate.

Bids will be awarded to one Bidder for the entire Project or to any series of Bidders for an appropriate proportion of the Project. If specified in the Bid Form, awards will be based upon the submitted unit prices.

The acceptance of a bid will be by a Notice of Award, signed by a duly authorized representative of the Park District; no other act by the Park District shall constitute the acceptance of a bid. The acceptance of a bid by the Park District shall bind the successful Bidder to execute and perform the Work of the Contract. The successful Bidder to whom the Contract is awarded by the Park District shall sign and deliver to the Park District for execution by the Park District all required copies of the Contract, along with all required insurance and surety documents within ten (10) days after presentation to him of the Contract for signature. In case the Bidder shall fail or neglect to do so, he will be considered as having abandoned the Contract, and as being in default to the Owner. The Owner may thereupon re-advertise or otherwise award said Contract and forfeit the Bid Security.

The Invitation to Bid, Instructions to Bidders, General Conditions, Supplementary and/or Special Conditions, if any, Drawings, Specifications, Contractor Bid Form, Addenda, if any, Contractor’s Compliance and Certification Attachment and the Prevailing Wage Determination and Supersedes Notice comprise the Bid Documents. The Bid Documents, together with the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor, AIA Document A101-2017, as modified by the Park District and included in these Bid Documents, and the Performance Bond and Labor Material Payment Bond and proof of insurance comprise the Contract Documents.

J. INTERPRETATION OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Park District shall in all cases determine the amount or quantity of the several kinds of Work which are to be paid for under this Contract, and shall decide all questions which may arise relative to the execution of the Contract on the part of the Contractor, and all estimates and decisions shall be final and conclusive. The Park District shall have the right to make alterations in the lines, grades, plans, forms, or dimensions of the Work herein contemplated either before or after the commencement of the Work. If such alterations diminish the quantity of the Work to be done, they shall not constitute a claim for damage or for anticipated profits on the work dispensed with, or if they increase the amount of Work, such increase shall be paid according to the quantity actually done and at the price or prices stipulated for such Work in the Contract. The Park District reserves the right to approve, an equal to or superior to product or equipment required under the Specifications, or to reject as not being and equal to or superior to the product or equipment required under the Specifications. If the Bidder is in doubt as to the interpretation of any part of the Bid Documents, or finds errors, discrepancies or omissions from any part of the Contract Documents, he must submit a written request for interpretation thereof not later than five (5) days prior to opening of bids to the Consultant. Address all communications to James Smith at [email protected]. If an error or omission is discovered in the Bid Documents after the bid opening, the Park District reserves the right: i) to determine whether to require the submission of new bids; or ii) if the error or omission is of such a nature that it was reasonably discoverable upon a careful review of the Bid Documents, to award the Contract to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder as determined by the Park District and to require that Contractor to perform the Work in accordance with an issued correction by the Park District and for the amount bid by the Contractor. Such decisions are final and not subject to recourse. Errors and omissions made by the Bidder cannot be corrected after the bid opening.

K. ADDENDA

Any interpretation, correction to, or addition to the Bid Documents will be made by written Addendum and will be delivered by mail or fax to each prime Bidder of record. The written Addenda constitute the only interpretations of the Bid Documents; the Park District accepts no responsibility for any other claimed interpretations or communications.

It is the responsibility of each Bidder to verify that he has received all Addenda prior to submitting a bid. It is also the responsibility of each Bidder to verify that all subcontractors and material suppliers whose prices are incorporated in the Bidder’s bid are familiar with the Bid Documents in their entirety, including all Addenda issued up to the time of bid opening.

In the event a conflict or omission is discovered in the Bid Documents after the issuing of the last Addendum such that an interpretation cannot be issued by the Park District prior to bidding, the Bidder is directed to estimate on and provide the quantity and quality of material and labor consistent with the overall represented and indicated Work so as to provide all materials, equipment, labor, and services necessary for the completion of the Work in accordance with the Bid Documents.

L. SUBSTITUTIONS DURING BIDDING

Unless otherwise indicated, the use of brand names in the Specifications is used for the purpose of establishing a grade or quality. Bidders proposing to use an alternate that is equal to or superior to in every respect to that required by the Specifications must request approval in writing to the Consultant and Park District at least seven (7) business days prior to the bid opening and mark the item as ‘or approved equal’.

Additionally, Bidders requesting approval for use of an alternate must provide certification by the manufacturer that the substitute proposed is equal to or superior in every respect to that required by the Contract Documents, and that its in-place performance will be equal to or superior to the product or equipment specified in the application indicated. The Bidder, in submitting the request for substitution, waives the right to additional payment or an extension of Contract Time because of the failure of the substitute to perform as represented in the request for substitution.

The Consultant and the Park District may request additional information or documentation necessary for evaluation of the request for substitution. Bidders will be notified of acceptance of the proposed substitute by means of an Addendum to the Bid Documents. The approval of a substitute during bidding does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to submit required shop drawings and to comply with all other requirements of the Contract Documents, including but not limited to proper performance of all components of the Work and suitability for the uses specified.

Bids proposing alternates not previously approved by the Park District will be considered non-responsive and rejected. The Park District reserves the right to determine whether a substituted selection, in its judgment, is equal to or better quality and therefore an acceptable alternate. Such decisions are final and not subject to recourse.

Description of Project and Scope of Work

The District is seeking a qualified construction firm with past experience in new pre-fabricated production type greenhouse construction to provide install a new production greenhouse addition to the existing production greenhouse. Other related work includes the following: new concrete floor and floor drains, heating system, plant benching, work lighting and other greenhouse electrical equipment for the new production greenhouse addition at the Bird Haven facility at Pilcher Park, 227 N. Gougar Road in Joliet, Illinois. The firm selected will work closely with Park District personnel that are involved with the operation of this facility.

HISTORY OF THE FACILITY

The original center Palm House and the two greenhouse wings were designed and constructed by Lord and Burnham in 1929 and underwent a complete restoration in 2004. Two growing/propagation greenhouses were constructed by Ickes-Braun Greenhouse Manufacturing Co. and attached to the existing facility in 1939. These structures were re-skinned in 1998 and are used for production growing. A second glasshouse addition was erected in 1963 by IBG and is currently the showroom for the facility – recently renamed the “Ron Dodd Showroom”. The park’s horticulture center was constructed in 1997 and connects to the 1963 IBG showroom greenhouse. The last addition was completed in 2006 and was a pre-engineered/ pre-fabricated greenhouse manufactured by the Ludy Greenhouse Company of New Madison, Ohio and is used as a production growing greenhouse. This greenhouse will connect to and expand on the 2006 greenhouse to double that plant production growing area. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The primary goal for this project:

Greenhouses: Installation of a new pre-engineered and pre-fabricated A-Frame style steel and glass production greenhouse supplied with a complete environmental control equipment package by the manufacturer that will gutter connect to the existing 2006 Production Greenhouse.
