If the agency is closed for any reason, including but not limited to: acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of
war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, earthquakes, floods, or other
natural disasters (the "Force Majeure Events"), which closure prevents the acceptance, opening of Electronic

on the next business day that the agency shall be open and at the previously advertised time.
All live auctions shall begin on the next business day that the agency shall be open and at the previously
advertised time. The agency shall not be held responsible for the receipt of any bids for which the delivery
was attempted and failed due to the closure of the agency as a result of a Force Majeure Event. Each
Vendor/Contractor shall be required to ensure the delivery and receipt of its Electronic bid, or Live Auction bid
by the agency prior to the new date and time of the bid opening.
The Owner expressly reserves the right to accept or reject any or all Unpriced qualification bid specifications
or bids or any part of any or all bids based on a lowest and best bid determination. If the bid documents
request separate bids on phases or items of a project, the Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or
all Unpriced qualification bid specifications or bids or any part of any or all Unpriced bid specifications or bids
based on qualifications and/or lowest and best bid determination on each phase or item for which a separate
bid is requested. The Owner reserves the right to reject any and all Unpriced Qualification Specifications or
Bids and to waive informalities.
Bids may be held by the Owner for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of submittal for the
