GENERAL CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The general rules and conditions outlined below apply to all purchases

authorized by the Town of Guilford. The conditions outlined become a formal

part of each Invitation to Bid and are incorporated into/made a part of the

contract entered into by the Town and the successful bidder, unless otherwise

specified. All Bidders are expected to fully inform themselves as to the

conditions, requirements and specifications before submitting bids. Failure to

do so will be at the Bidder's own risk.

The terms and conditions outlined in the Invitation to Bid become part of the

formal contract following award, unless specified otherwise.

1. BIDDING PROCEDURE

1.1 Bidder shall submit three (3) complete sets of the bid documents,

flash drive and all supporting material, unless otherwise stated in the

Invitation to Bid. All appropriate blanks shall be completed. The signer of

bid package as the base, to which work or materials may be added or from

which work or materials may be deleted from sums stated in alternate

the original bid package. Unit price is defined as an amount proposed by

will be rejected.

1.11 At bid opening all bids are publicly opened and received. The bids

will be considered unverified and subject to further review for

acceptance/disqualification. The Town shall prepare a bid summary by

upon the request.

1.12 Estimated quantities may be listed as part of a bid package in order

to assist Bidders, but Bidders are reminded that actual quantities ordered

may vary from figures listed and the Town will not be held liable for any

difference. On “as required” bids, acceptance of this bid will bind the Town

to pay for, at unit price only, quantities ordered and delivered. The Town

will not be required to accept delivery of any balances unordered as of

the contract expiration date.
