The provided text is a section of a Request for Proposal (RFP) document from the Municipality of Anchorage for the Port of Alaska Modernization Program, specifically for design/build services for a helipad and access road. This section focuses on the escrow of bid documentation. Here's a summary: **Escrow of Bid Documentation:** * Bidders must provide a copy of their bid documentation, including quantity takeoffs, construction schedules, cost estimates, and other information used to prepare their bid. * This documentation must be sealed and submitted to a designated depository for safekeeping. * The bidder must also submit a signed and certified affidavit attesting that the bid documentation is complete and accurate. * The bid documentation will remain in escrow, inaccessible to both parties, unless a dispute arises or a claim is made. **Access to Escrow Documents:** * In the event of a dispute or claim, the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) may obtain copies of the bid documentation. * Both parties must submit a list of authorized personnel to access the escrow documents. * Access to escrow documents requires at least 5 days' advance written notice, and the review must occur in the presence of a neutral third-party observer if one party is absent. **Consequences of Non-Compliance:** * Failure to provide bid documentation or an affidavit renders the bid non-responsive. * Refusal to provide subcontractor bid documentation may result in subcontract disapproval. **Confidentiality and Cost:** * The escrow materials are the property of the bidder, and the MOA will not release them without approval. * The MOA will pay for storing the escrowed materials and instruct the depository regarding escrow. * The bidder must include all costs to comply with this subsection in their overall contract bid price. **Return of Escrow Documentation:** * The original escrow documents will be returned to the bidder once litigation is concluded, outstanding claims are resolved, and the contract is completed.
