EXAMINATION OF BID DOCUMENTS Each Contractor by offering its Bid represents that it has

read and understands all documents comprising the Request for Formal Proposals. The Contractor

shall include in its Bid any and all costs that may be necessary to complete the work in accordance

with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Questions regarding documents,

discrepancies, omissions, or intent of the Specifications or drawings shall be submitted in writing to

the MSUA through the Engineer or purchasing agent at least thirty-four (34) days prior to opening

of bids to provide time for issuing and forwarding an addendum. Any interpretation of the contract

documents will be made only by addendum duly issued or delivered by the MSUA to each person

receiving a set of documents. The MSUA will not be responsible for any other explanations or

interpretation of the contract documents.

MATERIAL SUBSTITUTION Each Contractor shall base its Bid upon the materials and equipment

as described in the Request for Formal Proposals. The successful Contractor will not be allowed to

make any substitutions on its own initiative, but in each instance will be required to obtain

authorization from the MSUA before installing any work in variance with the requirements of the

contract documents.

LOCAL CONDITIONS AFFECTING Each Contractor shall visit the site of the Scope of Work and

thoroughly and fully inform itself relative to construction hazards and procedure, labor, and all other

the Scope of Work and the cost thereof, including the arrangement and conditions of existing

structures and facilities affecting or which are affected by the Scope of Work, access to the site, the

availability and cost of labor, and available facilities for transportation, handling and storage of

materials and equipment. It is understood and agreed that all such factors have been properly

investigated and considered in the preparation of every Bid submitted and there will be no

subsequent financial adjustment to any contract award here under, even in the event the lack of

such prior investigation affects the cost of the work.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The Contractor shall be completely responsible for investigating

subsurface conditions that may affect the Scope of Work and prepare its Bid accordingly. The

existence of unforeseen subsurface conditions, whether investigated or not, that adversely affect the

Scope of Work, shall not entitle the successful Contractor to any additional compensation.

Statement of Bidders.”

Each Contractor may be required to show that former work performed by it has been handled in such

ability by meeting all requirements herein stipulated.
