36803-2412.
12. TIME FOR RECEIVING BIDS:
Bids received prior to the time of opening will be securely kept, unopened. The Owner
will decide when the specified time has arrived, and no bid will be considered if received
thereafter, except that when a bid arrives by mail after time for opening, but before
award is made, and it is shown to the satisfaction of the Owner that the non-arrival on
time was due solely to delay in the mails for which the bidder was not responsible, such
bid may be received and considered. No responsibility will attach to Lee County or the
County Commission for the premature opening of a bid not properly addressed or
identified. Unless specifically authorized, telegraphic bids will not be considered, but
modifications by telegraph of bids already submitted will be considered if received prior
to the hour set for opening.
13. WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS:
Bids may be withdrawn on written or telegraph request received from bidders prior to
the time fixed for opening. Negligence on the part of the Bidder in preparing the bid
confers no right for the withdrawal of the bid after it has been opened.

At the time fixed for the opening of bids, their contents will be made public for the
information of bidders and others properly interested who may be present either in
person or by representation.

15. AWARD OR REJECTION OF BIDS:
The Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder
complying with conditions of the invitation for bids, provided his bid is reasonable and
it is in the interest of the Owner to accept it. The bidder to whom the award is made will
be notified at the earliest possible date. The Owner, however, reserves the right to reject
any and all bids and to waive any informality in bids received whenever such rejection
or waiver is in the interest of the Owner. It also reserves the right to reject the bid of a
bidder who has previously failed to perform properly or complete on time contracts of
a similar nature, or a bid of a bidder who is not, in the judgment of the Owner, in a
position to perform the Contract.
16. BIDDERS INTERESTED IN MORE THAN ONE BID:
If more than one bid is offered by any one party, by or in a name of his clerk, partner,
corporation in which he has a substantial interest, or in which he is an officer, or other
person, all such bids may be rejected. A party who has quoted prices on materials to a
bidder is not thereby disqualified from quoting prices to other bidders or from
submitting a bid directly for the materials or work. The County Commission of Lee
County reserves the right to determine in its discretion whether the provisions of this
clause have been violated by any bidder.
17. ERRORS IN BIDS:
Bidders or their authorized agents are expected to examine the maps, drawings,
specifications, and all other instructions pertaining to the work, which will be open to
their inspection. Failure to do so will be at the Bidder's own risk, and he cannot secure
relief on the plea of error in the bid. In case of error in the extension of prices, the unit
price will govern.
18. CONTRACT AND BOND:
The bidder to whom award is made must, when requested, enter into written contract
on the standard form as set out herein, with satisfactory security in the amount required,

require that additional forces and equipment be placed on the work to bring the project
up to schedule and maintain it at that level.
Should the Contractor fail to furnish sufficient satisfactory equipment and labor for
maintaining the quality and progress of the work at satisfactory level, the Engineer may
