Bid Attributes
1 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
Whenever used in this RFB the following terms shall have the meaning given as follows: City shall mean the City of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Contractor shall mean the firm providing the cameral replacement for the Transit Division.
Subcontractor shall mean any person, firm, or corporation who contracts with the Contractor to perform a service
for which the basis of payment or Scope of Work is identified as a part of this RFB. Project Manager shall mean
Sergio Hill, Transit Supervisor , who is the designated coordinator and administrator for the Work under this project.
A company representative who is authorized to bind the Company will sign on behalf of the company to indicate to
the City that you have read, understand and will comply with the instructions and all terms and conditions stated in
this Request for Bid and all attachments.
This Request for Bid does not commit the City to make an award, nor will the City pay any costs incurred in the
preparation and submission of bids, or costs incurred in making necessary studies for the preparation of bids.
Exceptions to Documents
The Bidder shall clearly state in the submitted bid any exceptions to, or deviations from, the minimum bid
requirements, and any exceptions to the terms and conditions of this RFB. Such exceptions or deviations will be
considered in evaluating the bids. Bidders are cautioned that exceptions taken to this RFB may cause their bid to
be rejected.
Silence of Specifications
Commercially accepted practices shall apply to any detail not covered in the specification and to any omission of
the specification. Any omission or question of interpretation of the specification that affects the performance or
integrity of the service being offered shall be addressed in writing and submitted with the Bid.
Incomplete Information
Failure to complete or provide any of the information requested in this Request for Bid, including references, and/or
additional information as indicated, may result in disqualification by reason of "non-responsiveness".
In the event of conflict, the Special Terms and Conditions shall take precedence over the Standard Terms and
Conditions, included herein.
Be advised that any conversations (in reference to this RFB) between bidders and any City employee, City official
or City Project Manager, outside of the Purchasing Services Division, during the entire competitive bidding process
is strictly prohibited. Such actions will result in removal of the Contractor from the vendors list and rejection of the
Contractor’s bid. The ONLY official position of the City is that position which is stated in writing and
issued by the Purchasing Services Division. No other means of communication, whether written or oral, shall
be construed as a formal or official response statement.
2 Site Visits
All interested bidders are strongly encouraged to visit the City facilities in order to familiarize themselves with all
conditions that may affect the time or cost of performance. These visits are to be made prior to the deadline for
questions (by appointment only by contacting Sergio Hill, Transit Supervisor at s.hill@cedar-rapids.org or 319-538-
6806). The City is inviting all interested bidders to do this so it will not be necessary later on to make a subsequent
claim or request a contract modification because of facts not known when the bid was submitted. The purpose of
this site visit is only to become aware of existing conditions and is NOT to be used in any way as a sales call. All
questions regarding the RFB must be submitted through IonWave to the Purchasing Services Division.
