PROPOSAL CONDITIONS

SECTION 1 – PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

1. INTRODUCTION

a. To be entitled to consideration, sealed proposals shall be presented in accordance

with the instructions of this solicitation and within the time constraints stated.

d. The Bibb County School District reserves the right to accept or reject any or all

proposals and to waive minor irregularities and technicalities. The judgment of the

Bibb County School District on such matters shall be final.

2. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROCESS:

This solicitation is a Request For Proposal (RFP). In using this method for solicitation

we are asking the marketplace for its best effort in seeking a “best value” solution to our

requirement. The Offeror provided proposal(s) will be evaluated by an evaluation

committee. Offeror(s) should make their best effort to satisfy the requirements at their

best price because a contract may be awarded based on the initial evaluation. The Owner

reserves the right to ask for clarity of the terms with any firm should the Owner need

clarification regarding the proposal. If the lowest overall price is out of range of Bibb

County School District’s budget, the Bibb County School District reserves the right to

negotiate with the Offeror whose proposal is deemed the “best value” for the District. If

an agreement cannot be reached, the District may go to the next Offeror on the list until a

satisfactory final deal can be reached with a Servicer.

If approved by the Board and if other matters (insurance, bonds, etc.) are settled, a

contract will be awarded.

The Servicer shall furnish Owner with a certificate(s) of insurance, executed by a

duly authorized representative of each insurer, showing compliance with the

insurance requirements set forth above. Certificates of insurance acceptable to the

Owner shall be transmitted to the Owner with the signed Contract Documents

when they are transmitted to the Owner for execution. These certificates MUST

will not be canceled, changed [which includes renewal], or allowed to lapse or

expire unless at least thirty (30) days prior to such event written notice has

been given to the Owner, as evidenced by receipt of registered or certified

mail.” Failure of the Owner to demand such certificate(s) or other evidence of

full compliance with these insurance requirements, or failure of Owner to identify

a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of

Servicer’s obligation to maintain such insurance.

I. Ratification of Agent’s Endorsement

In furnishing the insurance policy or in furnishing proof of coverage, as the case

may be, the insurance carrier shall upon request submit evidence satisfactory to

on the insurance company.

J. Acceptability of Insurers to Owner

No insurance will be acceptable to Owner unless written by a company licensed

by the Georgia State Insurance Commissioner to do business in Georgia at the

time the policy is issued. To avoid inconvenience, the Servicer should consult

with Owner to determine whether the insurance company or companies he

expects to use is or are acceptable to the Owner. All policies and certificates must

be signed or countersigned, as the case may be, by resident Georgia agents.

K. Prohibition Against Work Until Insurance Requirements Met

The Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, of prohibiting Servicer or

Failure to maintain the required insurance may result in termination of this

contract at Owner’s option.

M. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy

limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Servicer, and such coverage and

limits shall not be deemed as a limitation on Servicer’s liability under the

indemnities granted to Owner in this agreement.

N. Cross-Liability Coverage

If the Servicer’s liability policies do not provide the standard ISO separation of

insured’s provision, or a substantially similar clause, they shall be endorsed to

O. Termination of Obligation to Insure

Unless otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, the obligation to insure as

prescribed herein shall not terminate until the Architect shall have executed the

final certificate.

The Servicer is responsible for any delay resulting from the failure of his

insurance carriers and of insurance carriers of his Subcontractors to furnish proof

of proper coverage in (i) the prescribed form, (ii) in the prescribed manner, and

(iii) in good season.

5. INDEMNIFICATION

In addition to the liability imposed upon the Servicer on account of bodily injury

(including death) or property damage, which liability is not impaired or otherwise

affected hereby, the Servicer assumes the obligation to save the Owner harmless and to

indemnify and defend the Owner, and its agents, employees, officers, volunteers, and

directors from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including claims

consultant’s and attorney’s fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of this

agreement, including, but not limited to, the Servicer’s use of the project site; the

employed by the Servicer, or anyone for whose acts it may be liable, regardless of

whether or not such claims, damages, loss or expense is caused in part by a party

indemnified under this agreement. In any and all claims against the Owner or any of its

agents or employees, by any employee of the Servicer, anyone directly or indirectly

employed by the Servicer, or anyone for whose acts it may be liable, this indemnification

obligation shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of

damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Servicer under worker’s

compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. The Servicer

shall not be liable or responsible for loss or damage, and the indemnity obligation set

2. UTILIZATION OF MINORITY AND SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND

LOCAL AND MINORITY LABORERS (if applicable)

enterprises and small business concerns in all its construction projects. The Servicer

acknowledges this policy and agrees that it will actively solicit and encourage bids from

qualified subcontractors identified by governmental agencies as minority business

enterprises. The Servicer shall also actively encourage and solicit bids from

subcontractors who qualify as small business enterprises.

site employees. The Servicer acknowledges this policy and agrees that the on-site labor

force of contractors and all subcontractors shall include a meaningful representation of

skilled and unskilled local and minority laborers and mechanics, consistent with the

efficient performance of this contract. Meaningful representation for minorities means

the employment of minority laborers and mechanics in at least the same proportion that

minorities are represented in a discrete construction skill or craft in the Macon Labor

Management Area, defined by the Bibb County School District as Bibb County and all

adjacent counties, provided such individuals are available at the time of need.

contract, written certification of the same drug free workplace requirements. False

cause suspension, termination of contract, or debarment of such Offeror.

By submitting a proposal, the Servicer verifies that it is compliant with O.C.G.A. 13-10-

2. Optimize current recycling operations and services to reduce overall waste

management system costs.

3. Develop a detailed tracking, reporting, and billing/invoicing system to support BCSD’s

goal setting, performance tracking, and decision-making ability.

4. Collaborate with BCSD’s staff to implement the recycling program. This includes

conducting educational training and outreach as necessary on aspects of the waste

management program, including but not limited to, recycling procedures or waste
