principals are those named herein; that this Proposal is made without collusion with any other person,
firm, or corporation, or with any official of the Owner; that no other person than herein mentioned has
any interest in this Proposal or in the Contract to be entered into; and that it is in all respects fair and in
good faith.
The Bidder further declares that he has carefully examined the site of the work and informed himself
fully in regard to all conditions pertaining to the site of the work; that he has carefully examined the
plans, specifications and Contract Documents relative to the project, including all special provisions and
addenda furnished prior to the opening of bids; that he will provide all necessary labor, supervision,
machinery, tools and other items incidental to performing the work called out with this project in full;
and that he will furnish all materials called for in the Contract Documents in the manner prescribed
therein and according to the requirements as therein set forth.
It is understood that the following quantities of work to be done are approximate only and are intended
principally to serve as a guide in evaluating bids. It is further agreed that the quantities of work to be
done and material to be furnished may be increased or decreased as may be considered necessary, in
the opinion of the Owner or Owner's Representative, to complete the work fully as planned and
contemplated, and that all quantities of work, whether increased or decreased, are to be performed at
the prices set forth in this Proposal, except as provided for in the Contract Documents, and that lump
sum prices may be increased to cover additional work directed by Change Order, but not shown on the
plans or required by the specifications, in accordance with the Contract Documents. Similarly, they may
be decreased to cover deletion of work so directed.
It is understood that the Owner intends to award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive
bidder who meets all requirements of the Contract Documents. The Bidder proposes and agrees, if this
Proposal is accepted, to contract with the City of Huntsville, a municipal corporation, d/b/a Huntsville
Utilities in the form of contract specified, to furnish all materials, labor, equipment, and transportation
necessary to complete the project as set forth in the Contract Documents to the full satisfaction of the
Huntsville Utilities. It is further understood that the Owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids
submitted for this project.
The Bidder further agrees that he will commence work with an adequate force and sufficient equipment
within the specified time in the Owner's Notice to Proceed. All work must be completed relative to this
project as defined in the Contract Documents starting with the day after the Owner's Notice to Proceed
is granted.
In the event the Bidder who receives an executed Contract fails to complete the work within the time
agreed upon, the Owner reserves the right to withhold further work from the Contractor until a
settlement can be reached on the incomplete work. Huntsville Utilities is not responsible for costs
associated or accumulated with work stoppage.
It is understood that the work proposed to be done shall be accepted by the Owner when fully
completed and finished in accordance with the Contract Documents, and that the Bidder shall fully
insure and guarantee the work until final completion and acceptance, and for a period of one year
thereafter, unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract Documents.
