Special Instructions:
NOTICE TO BIDDERS – MEASURES TO MITIGATE POTENTIAL IMPACTS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. The Contractor is hereby notified that they should anticipate the possibility of future temporary Contract shutdowns, delays, or suspensions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Contractor shall consider risks associated with the COVID–19 pandemic as the Contractor develops project schedules and advances the work. The Contractor shall schedule work in a manner that in the event of a temporary shutdown, delay, or suspension, the impacts to mobility will be minimized. The sequence and progression of the work will be solely the Contractor’s responsibility. The Contractor is expected to communicate with the Agency regularly to discuss the risks to the project and proposed mitigation measures. VTrans will collaborate with the contractor to mitigate the risks to the project and adjust the sequence of work as necessary to ensure that mobility is not impaired unnecessarily.
If a shutdown, suspension or delay occurs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Contractor shall ensure the site is in a stable, safe, and maintainable condition by implementing mitigation measures. Such mitigation measures may include, but are not limited to, limiting the area of milled surfaces exposed at once, or limiting the number of work operations in progress at any one time. The Contractor is solely responsible for any additional maintenance activities or delays related to the sequence and progression of operations. The Agency has established a contract duration which may be longer than expected for the specified work to account for inefficiencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Contractor should anticipate mobility, labor, employee protection measures and material supply issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Contractor is also expected to comply with any Executive Orders.
2. NOTICE TO BIDDERS – SITE CONDITION. Prior to any shutdown or suspension, the site condition shall be in a stable, safe, and maintainable condition for the travelling public. Stable, safe, and maintainable condition means that the Contractor shall establish necessary erosion and environmental controls; ensure that the full width of the roadway is fully paved with no milled sections; install all safety features including guardrail, traffic signs, and pavement markings as designed or restored to the existing condition to meet the existing geometry; and undertake any additional measures as needed based on site conditions. No lane reductions will be allowed through the winter months. Subsection 109.06 will not apply for work that is required to bring a project to a satisfactory shutdown condition. In the event of a project Suspension of Work Ordered by the Engineer, the Contractor will be reimbursed per Subsection 108.16.
3. NOTICE TO BIDDERS – SUBSECTION 108.16(b). Subsection 108.16(b) is hereby modified by adding the following language.
(4) The ownership costs for equipment with a current Blue Book value in excess of $200,000.00 on site of an active project at the time of a suspension caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be paid per Subsection 109.06(c).
4. NOTICE TO BIDDERS – SUBSECTION 635.03(a). Subsection 635.03(a) is hereby modified by being deleted it in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Town Essex reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive any technical or legal deficiencies and to accept any bid that it may deem to be in the best interest of the Town. No bidder may withdraw his bid for a period of 90 days following the bid opening.
