INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

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

has read and understands all documents comprising the Request for Formal Bids. 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 twenty (20) 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 Bids. 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 work and

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

completion of the work and the cost thereof, including the arrangement and conditions of

existing structures and facilities affecting or which are affected by the proposed 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 proposed work and prepare its Bid

accordingly. The existence of unforeseen subsurface conditions, whether investigated or not,

that adversely affect the work, shall not entitle the successful Contractor to any additional

compensation.

Contractor shall demonstrate its ability by meeting all requirements herein stipulated.

BID SECURITY. No Bid will be considered unless accompanied by a cashier’s check, a
