1. Bidding Documents will be provided in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) (.pdf)
format. It is the intent of the Engineer and Owner that such Electronic Documents are

the Owner and Engineer cannot and do not guarantee that Electronic Documents and
reproductions prepared from those versions are identical in every manner to the paper
copies.
B. Unless otherwise stated in the Bidding Documents, the Bidder may use and rely upon
complete sets of Electronic Documents of the Bidding Documents, described in

arising from transmission/receipt of Electronic Documents versions of Bidding Documents

responsibility associated with use of the Electronic Documents versions to derive information
that is not explicitly contained in printed paper versions of the documents, and for Bidder's
reliance upon such derived information.

the use of the Contractor documents that were developed by Engineer as part of the Project
design process, as Electronic Documents in native file formats.
1. Electronic Documents that are available in native file format include:
a. Hydrant Painting Specifications
2. Release of such documents will be solely for the convenience of the Contractor. No such
document is a Contract Document.
3. Unless the Contract Documents explicitly identify that such information will be available
to the Successful Bidder (Contractor), nothing herein will create an obligation on the
part of the Owner or Engineer to provide or create such information, and the Contractor
is not entitled to rely on the availability of such information in the preparation of its Bid
or pricing of the Work. In all cases, the Contractor shall take appropriate measures to
verify that any electronic/digital information provided in Electronic Documents is
appropriate and adequate for the Contractor's specific purposes.

completion due to any differences between the actual Contract Documents and any
