wish to publicize the engineer's estimate of the project cost since this information may tend to influence the number
and nature of bids received. However, for the bidder's convenience and bonding estimating, the engineer's estimate
falls within a range of $2,750,000 to $3,250,000 for the base bid and approximately $500,000 for each additive
alternate. The allotted time of construction for this project is NINETY (90) WORKING DAYS. A working day is
