BID REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS

The Agency will furnish to each prospective Bidder a bid form which, when properly

completed and executed, must be submitted as the Bidder's Bid for the Work. All Bids must be

submitted on the Agency-furnished bid form to be valid and accepted. Bids that are not

submitted on the Agency-furnished bid form will be rejected. The completed bid form shall be in

English and legible, and shall be properly signed in longhand by the Bidder, if an individual, by a

member of a partnership, by an officer of a corporation authorized to sign contracts on behalf of

the corporation, or by an agent of the Bidder. If submitted by a corporation, the Bid shall show

the name of the state under the laws of which the corporation is chartered or organized.

The Bid shall be made on the bid form in clearly legible figures as follows:

2-1.01 Unit Price Bid

Where the bid for an item of work is to be submitted on a unit price basis, the Bidder shall

bid a unit price as total compensation for completion of one unit of the work described under

that item. This price shall be multiplied by the Estimated Quantity included in the bid form to

derive a total bid price for that item. The total amount bid for a unit price contract shall be

entered on the space provided on the bid form as a grand total of all individual items.

The Estimated Quantities included on the bid form are approximate and are only included in

the bid form as a basis for comparison of Bids. The Agency does not, expressly or by

implication, represent or agree that the actual amount of work will equal the approximate

Estimated Quantities. Payment will be made for the actual quantity of Work performed in

accordance with the Contract. The Agency reserves the right to increase or decrease the

amount of any class or portion of the Work, or to omit portions of the Work, as may be deemed

necessary or advisable in the sole discretion of the Agency. For compensation for alterations in

quantities of work, including deviations greater than twenty-five percent (25%), see Section 9-

8.02, “Payment for Changes – Unit Prices”, of these Specifications.

Where the bid for an item of work is to be submitted on a "Lump Sum" or "Job" basis, a

single lump-sum price shall be submitted in the appropriate place on the bid form. Items bid on

a lump-sum basis shall result in a complete structure, operating plant, or system, in satisfactory

working condition with respect to the functional purposes of the installation, as described in the

Contract, and no extra compensation will be paid for anything omitted but fairly implied.

Where specific allowance items have been entered on the bid form by the Agency, the total

amount entered on the bid form shall be included in the Total Bid Price. However, the total

amount to be paid for the Work included in the Allowance shall be the amount of the Allowance

actually utilized in the course of completing the Work.

2-2 PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF BIDS

By submission of a Bid, the Bidder acknowledges acceptance of the nature and location of

the Work, the general and local conditions, conditions of the site, the character, quality and

scope of work to be performed, the availability of labor, electric power, water, the kind of surface

and subsurface materials on the site, the materials and equipment to be furnished, and all

requirements of the Contract or other matters which may affect the Work or the cost. Any failure

of a Bidder to become acquainted with all of the available information concerning conditions will
