OF SECTION 3.20.090 OF THE BAKERS-
FIELD MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
PURCHASING (BIDS).
BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Bakersfield
as follows:
SECTION 1.
Subsection C. of Section 3.20.090 of the Bakersfield
Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
C. Bidder's Security. Except when inviting bids for
the sale of supplies, equipment, or materials, a bid bond in an
amount equal to ten percent of the bid shall be prescribed in the
public notices inviting bids. When purchasing supplies, equipment,
or materials, the Finance Director or designee at his or her
discretion may prescribe in the public notices inviting bids an
appropriate security deposit or other applicable bond in an amount
not to exceed one hundred percent of the total bid price. Bidders
shall be entitled to return of bid security; provided, however,
that a successful bidder shall forfeit his bid security upon his
refusal or failure to execute the contract within ten days after
the notice of award of contract has been mailed, unless in the
latter event the city is solely responsible for the delay in
executing the contract. The city council may, on refusal or
failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract, award it
to the next lowest responsible bidder. If the city council awards
the contract to the next lowest bidder, the amount of the lowest
bidder's security shall be applied by the city to the contract
price differential between the lowest bid and the second lowest
bid, and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the lowest
bidder. If the city council rejects all other bids and re-
advertises, the amount of the lowest bidder's security may be used
to offset the cost of receiving new bids and any difference between
that bidder's bid and the price of the contract which is executed,
and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the lowest bidder.
SECTION 2.
This Ordinance shall be posted in accordance with the
Bakersfield Municipal Code provisions and shall become effective
thirty (30) days from and after the date of its passage.
