Sec. 11-48.3-25.
Advertisements for bids shall be published at least
twice in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in the
metropolitan area, the last publication to be at least 10 calendar days
before the time for receiving bids, and such advertisements shall also be
posted on readily accessible bulletin boards in the principal office of
the Authority. Such advertisements shall state the time and place for
receiving and opening of bids, and by reference to plans and specifications
on file at the time of the first publication, or in the advertisement
itself, shall describe the character of the proposed contract in sufficient
detail to fully advise prospective bidders of their obligations and to
insure free and open competitive bidding.
All bids in response to advertisements shall be sealed and shall be
publicly opened by the Board, and all bidders shall be entitled to be
present in person or by representatives. Cash or a certified or
satisfactory cashier's check, as a deposit of good faith, in a reasonable
amount to be fixed by the Board before advertising for bids, shall be
required with the proposal of each bidder. Bond for faithful performance of
the contract with surety or sureties satisfactory to the Board and adequate
insurance may be required in reasonable amounts to be fixed by the Board
before advertising for bids.
The contract shall be awarded as promptly as possible after the opening
of bids. The bid of the successful bidder, as well as the bids of the
unsuccessful bidders, shall be placed on file and be open to public
inspection. All bids shall be void if any disclosure of the terms of any
bid in response to an advertisement is made or permitted to be made by the
Board before the time fixed for opening bids.
Any bidder who has submitted a bid in compliance with the requirements
for bidding may bring a civil action in the circuit court within the
boundaries of the Authority to compel compliance with the provisions of
this Division relating to the awarding of contracts by the Board.
