Specifications may be obtained at the Offices of the Joint Meeting, 500

South First Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey. Bids must be accompanied by a guarantee payable to the six (6) Agencies that if the Contract is awarded to him the Contractor will enter into a Contract therefore and will furnish any performance bond or other security required as a guarantee or in- demnification. The guarantee shall be in the amount of 10% of the bid but not in excess of $20,000.00 and may be given at the option of the bidders, by certified check, cashier's check or bid bond.

A bond with Surety's Consent in the form attached hereto in the sum equal to the product of the Unit Price multiplied by the estimated tonnage multiplied by the term (in years) that the respective Contract will remain in force, issued by a bonding company authorized to do business in the

State of New Jersey, satisfactory to the Agencies involved and approved by Counsels will be required for the faithful performance of the Contract.

Said bond in the form attached hereto shall be submitted and approved on or before the time set for the execution of said Contract.

The party to whom this Contract is awarded will be required to present to the agencies involved the approved performance bond duly executed and be prepared to execute the Contract, within fifteen (15) days of the date of notice of award.

Should the successful bidder, to whom the Contract is awarded fail to comply with the above provisions as to the performance bond, and to ex- ecute said Contract within the time above set forth, the Agencies may, at their option, declare the successful bidder in default, the Contract aban- doned by it, and may further take such proceedings as it may deem neces- sary to protect the interest of the Agencies.

It is the purpose of the Agencies previously named not to award the

Contract to any bidder who does not furnish evidence satisfactory to them, that such bidder is responsible, and has sufficient capital, ability, experience, and equipment to perform the task of sludge removal and dis- posal, and to fulfill all of the requirements of the Contract. Therefore the bidder, at the time of bidding, is required to present his plan for removal and/or storage of sludge from the Agencies involved in a timely manner to prevent a build-up of sludge.

The Agencies reserve the right to reject any or all proposals and also reserve the right to waive any informality in the bid and to accept the bid, which, in their judgement, best serves the interest of the Agencies.

The award of the Contract is subject to the following: a) Approval by the appropriate regulatory bodies, including but not limited to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the New

Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the New Jersey Lo- cal Finance Board, b) Execution by the Agencies of an Inter-Agency Agreement and ap- proval of same by the New Jersey Local Finance Board. c) Passage and approval of legislation authorizing the Agencies to enter into a joint bid for sludge disposal for a period of five years.

Failure to obtain the approvals as set forth above shall prevent the

Agencies from awarding the within Contract.

During the Contract period the Contractor shall be required to comply with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 10:2-1 through 10:2-4 dealing with dis- crimination in employment on public contracts and the rules and regula- tions promulgated pursuant thereunto are hereby made a part of this Con- tract and are binding on them as well. Bidders will also be required to comply with the requirements of P L. 1975, c. 127 relating to affirmative action.
