PACKAGE – VILLAGE OF MONTGOMERY PUBLIC WORKS FURNITURE FFE” on the outside of

the envelope. Bids will be opened and read publicly immediately following at the same location in the

does not recognize postmarks as representing the fact that a bid has been “received” by the Village before

the specified deadline. Bids sent by facsimile or email will not be accepted. Bids received after the

time specified in the Invitation to Bid will not be considered.

Furniture Bid Documents consist of the Drawings & Project Manual. These documents contain the

specifications, contract documents, instructions to bidders, and bid form. Bid Documents are available for

download from Williams Architects, 500 Park Blvd. Suite 800, Itasca, IL. 60143 

or by calling Williams Architects at 630-221-1212. All Bidders are responsible for all Bid Documents.

Each bid shall be accompanied by a bid bond, certified check, or cashier’s check, equal in value to 10%

of the bid, payable to the Village of Montgomery. Performance and Payment Bonds in the amount of

100% of the total bid will be required by each successful contractor under this project.

Work performed under this contract shall be in accordance with Illinois Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILC

130/1, et seq.), the Substance Abuse Prevention on Public Works Projects Act (820 ILCS 265/1, et seq.),

Drug Free Workplace Act (30 ILCS 580/1, et seq.) and any applicable superseding ordinance or public law.

The contract award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The Village will

consider all factors which it, in its sole discretion, deem to be in the best interest of the Village. While

price is important, past public works experience and ability to timely deliver the Furniture on schedule are

also important considerations. No bid will be considered unless the bidder shall furnish evidence

satisfactory to the Village of Montgomery that the bidder has the necessary facilities, abilities, experience,

equipment, financial and physical resources available to fulfill the conditions of the Contract and execute

the work, should the Contract be awarded such bidder.

Bidders will examine the plans and specifications and also the location in which said work is to be done

and judge for themselves all the circumstances and surrounding conditions affecting the cost and nature of

the work, and all bids will be presumed to be based on such examination, familiarity and judgment.

The Village reserves the right to reject any or all bids, or parts thereof, and to waive any technicality,

informality, or irregularity in the bids received, and to disregard all non-conforming or conditional bids or

counter proposals.

Bids will be held good and may not be withdrawn for a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the date of

opening.
