the technical Specifications.

and shall personally examine the Sites. Any prospective Bidder in doubt as to the meaning of any
part of the Contract Documents may submit to the Project Manager a written request for an
2

interpretation. The person submitting such request shall be responsible for its prompt delivery.
Official interpretation, modification, or revision of the Contract Documents will be made only by
addendum duly issued and mailed or delivered to each party having a set of Contract Documents.
The Project Manager assumes no liability for any other explanations or interpretations of the
documents.
5. Bids shall be based on materials and equipment fully complying with the
Specifications. The Contractor shall be responsible, under the Contract Price, for furnishing and
installing materials and equipment conforming to the stipulated requirements, even though the
Contractor's Bid identifies other kinds or types of materials and equipment.
6. No Bidder shall be interested in more than one Bid. Submission of more than one Bid
by any firm or individual under different names, or collusion among Bidders, shall be cause for
rejection of all such Bids without consideration.
7. The attached Bid form shall be filled out in full. Bids for less than all the Work will
not be considered, unless the Work is expressly divided into two or more parts, in which case each
part covered by the Bid shall be filled out in full. Extensions and totals submitted in the Bid will
be subject to audit and verification. Each Bid shall include the Bidder's name, exact post office
address, and the names and addresses of all persons and parties participating in the Bid. Any
person signing as an agent shall submit evidence of his or her authority determined acceptable by
the City.
8. The unit price for each of the items in the Bid of each Bidder shall include its prorated
share of overhead so that the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the quantity shown for
each item by the unit price bid represents the total Bid. Any Bid not conforming to this requirement
will be rejected.
9. The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids, including without limitation the
rights to reject any or all nonconforming, nonresponsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids and to
reject the Bid of any Bidder if the City believes that it would not be in the best interest of the
project to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the Bid is not responsive or the Bidder
is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria
established by the City. The City also reserves the right to waive all informalities not involving
price, time or changes in the Work and to negotiate Contract terms with the responsive Bidder to
whom the City makes an award. Discrepancies between the multiplication of units of Work and
unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum
of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct
sum. Discrepancies between words and figures will be resolved in favor of the words.
10. The City is exempt from Kansas sales tax on materials and equipment to be
incorporated into the Work. Consequently, sales tax shall not be included in the Contract Price.
11. The City may make changes in the scope of the Work required to be performed by the
Contractor under the Contract by making additions thereto, or by omitting work therefrom, without
invalidating the Contract, and without relieving or releasing the Contractor from any of the
3

obligations under the Contract or any guarantee given pursuant to the Contract provisions, and
without affecting the validity of the guaranty bonds, and without relieving or releasing the surety
or sureties of the guaranty bonds. No limit will be fixed and no Change Order will be required for
such increased or decreased quantities nor shall any adjustment in unit prices be allowed, provided
the net monetary value of all such additive and subtractive change in quantities of such items of
Work shall not increase or decrease the original total Contract Price by more than twenty-five
percent (25%).

bank, or an acceptable bidding bond, in the amount of five percent (5%) of the total bid amount
shown on the Bid. This security shall be made payable to the City and will serve as a guarantee
that the Bidder will file all bonds and securities required and enter into any Contract awarded to
Bidder in accordance with the terms of the Bid within ten (10) days after notice of award. If the
successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Contract and furnish the required bonds within
ten (10) days after the notice of award, the City may consider the Bidder to be in default, annul the
notice of award, and the bid security of that Bidder shall be forfeited as liquidated damages and
the money derived therefrom will be turned to the use of the City.
