The Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible Bidder whose bid is responsive to this Invitation for Bids and will be most advantageous to the Owner. The responsibility of the Bidder will be based on the factors described in Article 16 of the Procurement Code Manual: The responsibility criteria include: The Bidder's capacity to do the work, including adequate finances, equipment, facilities, employees and competing commitments; The competency and responsibility of the Bidder's proposed subcontractors; The Bidder's experience in performing similar work; The Bidder's integrity and record of performance: Positive factors include but are not limited to timely completion within budget, quality of work, prompt resolution of problems, good working relationships and the ability to resolve disputes without litigation; and Negative factors include but are not limited to past contract terminations or deductions due to failure to perform; termination for cause due to breach; failure to comply with the Contract; documented poor performance; customer complaints and/or negative references; unresolved disputes with project owners or subcontractors; and litigation without merit. In addition, any of the grounds set forth in Article 30 of the Procurement Code Manual for suspension or debarment may be considered. The Bidder is qualified legally to contract with the Owner; Whether the Bidder has truthfully supplied all information concerning its responsibility requested by the Purchasing Agent; Whether the Bidder holds any required and active valid State of Arizona license(s) to conduct business or to perform the work proposed; and Any other evaluation criteria listed in the solicitation. Examples of other evaluation criteria include, but are not limited to, the requirement of a balanced bid, requirement that the bid or proposal identify the percentage and cost of work that each subcontractor will perform and a cap on the total Project value that can be completed by subcontractors, or requirement that no work shall be subcontracted. Any single factor or combination of factors may be grounds for determination of non-responsibility. Additional factors shall include the Bidder's past performance, specifically, on contracts with the Owner, or other public agencies. This includes threats of litigation, contract terminations for any reason, and the lack of ability to resolve disputes without litigation. The Owner may select a Bidder and enter into a Contract for reasons other than the lowest price bid.
