If the notice to proceed has not been issued within the ten (10) day period or within the period
mutually agreed upon, the contractor may terminate the agreement without further liability on

The Owner may make such investigations as they deem necessary to determine the ability of
the bidder to perform work, and the bidder shall furnish to the Owner all such information and
data for this purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner reserves the right to reject any bid

work contemplated therein. A conditional or qualified bid will not be accepted.
Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. All applicable laws,
ordinances, and the rules and regulations of all authorities having jurisdiction over construction
of the project shall apply to the contract throughout.
Each bidder is responsible for inspecting the site and for reading and being thoroughly familiar
with the contract documents. The failure or omission of any bidder to do any of the foregoing
