expressly provided for in the Contract Documents.

Any and all such interpretations and any supplemental instructions will be in the form of written

Document File (PDF) at https://www.wareham.gov/bids.aspx.
A notification of addenda will be emailed to all prospective bidders to email addresses furnished
by them for such purposes. Bidders picking up sets of bid documents will be given all addenda
issued to date and will be required to sign for all documents, acknowledging receipt. Failure of
any bidder to receive any such addendum or interpretation shall not relieve such bidder from any
obligation under its bid as submitted, and each bidder must confirm for itself that it has received

10. Bid Opening Procedure
The following list of requirements shall be met by each filed bid.
Bids shall be filed at the place and before the time specified in Receipt and Opening of Bids,
provided in Section 00 11 13 - ADVERTISEMENT FOR BID.
Properly executed bid security shall be placed in a sealed envelope and shall be attached to the
outside of the envelope containing the bid.
The bid and all accompanying documents so required shall be signed by the Bidder or its
authorized representative before submission.
All bidders shall include with their bids written acknowledgment of receipt of all addenda. Refer
to acknowledgment form provided in Section 00 41 13, FORM OF GENERAL BID.
The total dollar amount of each bid will be read, and the three apparent lowest bids will be
selected for further consideration. These three apparent low bids will be read aloud for the
benefit of the other bidders and the bid opening procedure will be closed. All those present at the
bid opening may examine all bids after the bid opening and after the reading of the three apparent
low bids (except for the DCAMM Update Statements if contained therein, which are not public
records).
A separate line item for Bid Alternate #1 will be provided as part of the Bid Form. The Bidder
must submit a clear dollar amount for the alternate on the Form for General Bid, and indicate if
there is "No Change" if an alternate has no impact on the price. Alternates are considered in
descending numerical order, and the lowest bid is determined by the sum of the base bid plus any
accepted alternates. Bidders must ensure all alternates are acknowledged and priced out, lack of
alternate pricing can lead to bid rejection.
11. Comparison of Bids
Bids will be compared on the basis of the quantities and unit and lump sum prices stated in the
bid forms.
In the event that there is a discrepancy in Section 00 41 13, FORM OF GENERAL BID between
the lump sum or unit prices written in words and figures, the prices written in words will govern.
The OWNER agrees to examine and consider each FORM OF GENERAL BID submitted in
