In general, the work consists of: removal and replacement of twenty sets of doors, frames, and some hardware in Buildings B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. The project will re-use the existing lock sets and deadlocks. Bidders may submit PDFs of bid forms, bonds, and powers of attorney containing e-signatures, e-corporate seals, and e-notaries affixed to each document in accordance with the Surety's obligations. We will require telephone numbers for all signatories as well as the bond principal and issuing surety for oral verification. Bids must be accompanied by a bid guarantee, which may take the form of a properly executed DFD form of bid bond. If a bidder elects to use a bid bond as their bid guarantee, such bid bond must be accompanied by a power of attorney, which DFD will only accept as genuine if it is properly notarized. Wisconsin law permits the use of (electronic) remote online notarization if it is performed using technology providers that have been approved by the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI). If a bidder elects to use remote online notarization it is the responsibility of the bidder and its surety to ensure that the technology provider has been approved by DFI. DFD reserves the right to reject bids submitted electronically if a bidder uses a remote online notarization technology provider that has not been approved by DFI. Awarded contracts may be signed via DocuSign. However, the contractor may still choose to print, sign, and mail paper contract. If a contractor chooses to sign contract and contract documents electronically via DocuSign, they must attach their remote notarized Performance Bond, Payment Bond, Power of Attorney, and Corporate Resolution using technology providers that have been approved by the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), to the DocuSign envelope. This is the preferred method and more detailed instructions will be provided with contract offer correspondence.
