examinations, investigations, explorations, tests, and studies as Bidder deems

performed at the Site by Owner or others (such as utilities and other prime
contractors) and relates to the Work contemplated by these Bidding Documents. If
Owner is party to a written contract for such other work, then on request, Owner will
provide to each Bidder access to examine such contracts (other than portions thereof
related to price and other confidential matters), if any.

construction to be employed by Bidder; and (3) Bidder's safety precautions and
programs;
F. agree, based on the information and observations referred to in the preceding

Work; and
J. agree that the submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation
by Bidder that Bidder has complied with every requirement of this Article, that without
exception the Bid and all prices in the Bid are premised upon performing and
furnishing the Work required by the Bidding Documents.
ARTICLE 6 - PRE-BID CONFERENCE
6.01 A pre-bid conference will not be held as stated in the invitation or advertisement to bid.
Site inspections may be arranged by appointment.
ARTICLE 7 - INTERPRETATIONS AND ADDENDA
7.01 All questions about the meaning or intent of the Bidding Documents are to be submitted
to Engineer in writing. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by Engineer
in response to such questions will be issued by Addenda delivered to all parties recorded
as having received the Bidding Documents. Questions received less than seven days prior
to the date for opening of Bids may not be answered. Only questions answered by
Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal
effect.
7.02 Addenda may be issued to clarify, correct, supplement, or change the Bidding Documents.
ARTICLE 8 - BID SECURITY
8.01 A Bid must be accompanied by Bid security made payable to Owner in an amount of 5

alternates) and in the form of a certified check, bank money order, or a Bid bond (on the
form included in the Bidding Documents) issued by a surety meeting the requirements of
Paragraphs 6.01 and 6.02 of the General Conditions.
8.02 The Bid security of the apparent Successful Bidder will be retained until Owner awards
the contract to such Bidder, and such Bidder has executed the Contract Documents,
furnished the required contract security, and met the other conditions of the Notice of

execute and deliver the Contract Documents and furnish the required contract security
within 15 days after the Notice of Award, Owner may consider Bidder to be in default,

Project No. 209-4251527-012
annul the Notice of Award, and the Bid security of that Bidder will be forfeited. Such
forfeiture shall be Owner's exclusive remedy if Bidder defaults.
8.03 The Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes to have a reasonable chance of
receiving the award may be retained by Owner until the earlier of seven days after the
Effective Date of the Contract or 61 days after the Bid opening, whereupon Bid security
furnished by such Bidders will be released.
8.04 Bid security of other Bidders that Owner believes do not have a reasonable chance of
receiving the award will be released within seven days after the Bid opening.
ARTICLE 9 - CONTRACT TIMES
9.01 The number of days within which, or the dates by which the Work is to be substantially
completed and ready for final payment are set forth in the Agreement.
ARTICLE 10 - LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
10.01 Provisions for liquidated damages, if any, for failure to timely attain a Milestone,
Substantial Completion, or completion of the Work in readiness for final payment, are set
forth in the Agreement.
ARTICLE 11 - SUBSTITUTE AND "OR-EQUAL" ITEMS
11.01 The Contract for the Work, as awarded, will be on the basis of materials and equipment
specified or described in the Bidding Documents, and those "or-equal" or substitute or
materials and equipment subsequently approved by Engineer prior to the submittal of Bids
and identified by Addendum. No item of material or equipment will be considered by
Engineer as an "or-equal" or substitute unless written request for approval has been
submitted by Bidder and has been received by Engineer at least 15 days prior to the date
for receipt of Bids. Each such request shall comply with the requirements of Paragraphs
7.04 and 7.05 of the General Conditions. The burden of proof of the merit of the proposed
item is upon Bidder. Engineer's decision of approval or disapproval of a proposed item will
be final. If Engineer approves any such proposed item, such approval will be set forth in
an Addendum issued to all prospective Bidders. Bidders shall not rely upon approvals
made in any other manner.
11.02 All prices that Bidder sets forth in its Bid shall be based on the presumption that the
Contractor will furnish the materials and equipment specified or described in the Bidding
Documents, as supplemented by Addenda. Any assumptions regarding the possibility of
post-Bid approvals of "or-equal" or substitution requests are made at Bidder's sole risk.
ARTICLE 12 - SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, AND OTHERS
12.01 A Bidder shall be prepared to retain specific Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other individuals
or entities for the performance of the Work if required by the Bidding Documents (most
commonly in the Specifications) to do so. If a prospective Bidder objects to retaining any
such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, and the concern is not relieved
by an Addendum, then the prospective Bidder should refrain from submitting a Bid.
12.02 Subsequent to the submittal of the Bid, Owner may not require the Successful Bidder or
Contractor to retain any Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity against which
Contractor has reasonable objection.

Project No. 209-4251527-012
12.03 The apparent Successful Bidder, and any other Bidder so requested, shall within five days
after Bid opening, submit to Owner a list of the Subcontractors or Suppliers proposed for
the following portions of the Work:
A. Surveyor
B. Piping
C. Electrical and electronic systems
D. Geosynthetic materials and installation
E. Stone and granular materials
F. Seeding
12.04 If requested by Owner, such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement with
pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each
such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity. If Owner or Engineer, after due
investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier,
individual, or entity, Owner may, before the Notice of Award is given, request apparent
Successful Bidder to submit an acceptable substitute, in which case apparent Successful
Bidder shall submit a substitute, Bidder's Bid price will be increased (or decreased) by the
difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and Owner may consider such price
adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the Contract award.
12.05 If apparent Successful Bidder declines to make any such substitution, Owner may award
the Contract to the next lowest Bidder that proposes to use acceptable Subcontractors,
Suppliers, or other individuals or entities. Declining to make requested substitutions will
constitute grounds for forfeiture of the Bid security of any Bidder. Any Subcontractor,
Supplier, individual, or entity so listed and against which Owner or Engineer makes no
written objection prior to the giving of the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to
Owner and Engineer subject to subsequent revocation of such acceptance as provided in
Paragraph 7.06 of the General Conditions.
ARTICLE 13 - PREPARATION OF BID
13.01 The Bid Form is included with the Bidding Documents.
A. All blanks on the Bid Form shall be completed in ink and the Bid Form signed in ink.
Erasures or alterations shall be initialed in ink by the person signing the Bid Form. A
Bid price shall be indicated for each section, Bid item, alternate, adjustment unit price
item, and unit price item listed therein.
B. If the Bid Form expressly indicates that submitting pricing on a specific alternate item
is optional, and Bidder elects to not furnish pricing for such optional alternate item,
then Bidder may enter the words "No Bid" or "Not Applicable."
13.02 A Bid by a corporation shall be executed in the corporate name by a corporate officer
(whose title must appear under the signature), accompanied by evidence of authority to
sign. The corporate address and state of incorporation shall be shown.
13.03 A Bid by a limited liability company shall be executed in the name of the firm by a member
or other authorized person and accompanied by evidence of authority to sign. The state
