preparing the bid confers no right of withdrawal or modifications to bid after such bid has been opened.

Any bid received after the time and date specified shall not be considered, by messenger or by

mail, even if it is determined by the Town that such non-arrival before the time set for opening was due

solely to delay in the mails for which the bidder is not responsible. Conditional or qualified bids will not

be accepted.

Each bid must be submitted on the prescribed form. All blank spaces for bid prices must

be filled in, in ink or typewritten, both in words and figures. Erasures or other changes must be explained

way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect to their bid.

When applicable, each bidder must inform themselves fully of the conditions relating to the

construction of the project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not relieve a

successful bidder of their obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions

a standard; and any proposed material, article, or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors which
