or request for proposals.

FAMILIARITY WITH THE WORK

Each bidder is considered to have examined the work to fully acquaint himself with the exact

existing conditions relating to the work and has fully informed himself as to the work involved and

the difficulties and restrictions attending the performance of this bid. Failure to do so will not relieve

a bidder of his obligation to furnish all materials, labor and equipment necessary to carry out the

work for the consideration set forth in this bid. The submission of a bid will be considered as

conclusive evidence that the bidder has made such examination.

CONSIDERATION OF PRIOR SERVICE

Previous performance, quality of service and merchandise will be considered.

ADDENDA AND INTERPRETATIONS & ALTERNATE PROPOSALS

At the time of the opening of bids each bidder will be presumed to have inspected the work and to

have read and to be thoroughly familiar with all of the Contract Documents (including all addenda).

The failure or omission of any bidder to receive or examine any form, instruction or document shall

in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect to his bid.

If any person contemplating submitting a proposal is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of

these specifications, he may submit a written request for an interpretation to the Purchasing Agent.

No interpretations as to the meaning of the plans, specifications or other Contract Documents will be

made to any bidder orally.

Every request for such interpretation should be in writing addressed (duplicate copy) to the Town of

Watertown, Purchasing Agent, 61 Echo Lake Road, Watertown, Connecticut 06795, and to be given

consideration, must be received at least five (5) days prior to the date fixed for the opening of Bids.

Receipt Requested to all prospective bidders at the respective addresses furnished for such purposes,

not later than three (3) days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids. Failure of any bidder to

receive any such Addendum or interpretations shall not relieve any bidder from any obligations

under his bid as submitted. All Addenda so issued shall become part of the Contract Documents.

Oral explanations will not be binding on the Town.

The specifications listed are to be interpreted as meaning the minimum acceptable by the Town of

Watertown. Bidders are requested to submit quotations on the basis of these specifications.

Alternative bids providing a broader scope and/or services than requested in these specifications may

receive consideration providing such equipment and/or service is clearly explained. Any exceptions

to the specifications requested herein must be clearly noted in writing and are to be included as a part

of your bid proposal. If none are included it will be assumed that there are none.

Definition of the word "complete" means that each unit of the equipment proposed shall include all

appurtenances, fasteners, parts, accessories, and services ordinarily catalogued.

The Bidder may furnish an item equal to that named or described in the specifications, except where

expressly noted as “no substitutions.” The naming of any commercial name, trademark, or other

identification shall not be construed to exclude any item of any manufacturer not mentioned by

considered equal to the item so named or described if:

A. It is at least equal in quality, durability, appearance, strength and design.

B. It will perform at least equally the function imposed by the design for the work being

contracted for or the material being purchased.

C. It conforms substantially, even with deviations, to the detailed requirements for the item in

the specifications.
