considered. A Bid submitted by a Bidder determined to be not responsible may be rejected.

responsible bidder. Before a Bid is considered for award, a Bidder may be requested to submit information
documenting its ability and competency to perform the work, according to general standards of

or if the form is altered or any part thereof is detached; or if the Bid is improperly signed.

of Contract Documents " herein, that without exception the Bid is premised upon
performing the work required by the Contract Documents and such means, methods,
techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction as may be indicated in or required by

9.0 DISCREPANCIES IN BIDS. In the event there is more than one Pay Item in a Bid Schedule, the

responsive and cause its rejection. In the event there are Unit Price Pay Items in a Bid Schedule and the
"amount" indicated for a Unit Price Bid Item does not equal the product of the Unit Price and quantity, the
Unit Price shall govern and the amount will be corrected accordingly, and the Bidder shall be bound by said
correction. In the event there is more than one Pay Item in a Bid Schedule and the total indicated for the
schedule does not agree with the sum of the prices Bid on the individual items, the prices Bid on the

by the bidder of any form other than the Bid Modification form included in this section may
deem the modification unacceptable and be cause for the bid to be rejected.
