PROPOSERS UNDERSTANDING:
Proposers should visit the work sites to familiarize themselves with pertinent local conditions such as location,
character, and accessibility of the site, availability of facilities, location and character of existing work within or
adjacent thereto, labor conditions, etc.
The City of Concord shall make available to all prospective proposers, previous to the receipt of bids,
information that it may have as to the extraordinary site conditions at the work site. Such information shall be
given, however, as the best factual information available without the assumption of responsibility for its
accuracy or for any conclusions that the contractor might draw there from.
INSPECTION FEES:
The Contractor (or subcontractor if used) shall not be assessed fees for layout or inspection of work by City of
Concord personnel, when such layout and/or inspection is required as part of the Specifications for the project.
If, however, additional layout and/or re-establishment of bench marks, etc. is required due to negligence or
failure of the Contractor to conform to the Specifications and Standards, then charges shall be made to him, and
shall not be reimbursable by the City. The Contractor may be assessed the additional expense for inspection
