A. Interpretations: Should a bidder find discrepancies in or omissions from the plans and
specifications or be in doubt as to their written meaning, he should immediately notify the
Architect in writing. The Architect will then send a written instruction or interpretation to
all known holders of the documents if deemed appropriate by the Architect. Neither the
Owner nor the Architect will be responsible for nor bound by any oral instructions or for a
bidder's failure to make inquiry.
B. Addenda: Any addenda to the plans and/or specifications issued before or during the
time of bidding will become a part of the Contract and receipt of same must be
acknowledged by Bidder in his proposal.
C. "Or Equal" Substitutions: Refer to Section 002213, Paragraphs 3.4.2 and 3.4.4 and to
Section 012500 - "Or Equal" Substitutions: Bidder is advised that some sections of the
specifications may not allow for substitutions and that the requirements of Sections 00 22
13 and 01 25 00 must be strictly complied with to obtain a substitution where substitution
is allowed. Failure to strictly comply with Sections 00 22 13 and 01 25 00 and any
requirements in the technical specifications which do not conflict with, and which are in
addition to Sections 00 22 13 and 01 25 00 may, in the Owner's sole discretion, result in
the rejection of the request for "or equal" substitution.
D. Construction Documents: As indicated in the Advertisement for Bids, Contract
Documents will be issued via link only. Bidders should include in Base Bid
Proposal cost of printing all documents required for construction, as-built
drawings, and close out documents.

and shall include General, Mechanical, Electrical, and Site work as well as all other work
shown on plans and specified herein.
B. Subcontractors and Suppliers: The Bidder is specifically advised that any person, firm,
or other party to whom it is proposed to award a Subcontract or Purchase Order under
this Contract must be acceptable to the Owner.
1. The Owner may make such investigation as he deems necessary to determine the
ability of the Bidder or subcontractors or suppliers to perform the 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 if the
evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that
such Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the Contract and to
complete the work contemplated therein within the time required.
00 21 13 - 1
INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

P.N. 26000.01 JBHM Architects, P.A. 04/08/2026
2. All subcontractors must have a current, valid, Contractor's License and/or Certificate
of Responsibility where Bid exceeds $50,000.00.
3. Listing of Subcontractors and Suppliers:
a. So that the Owner may be assured that only qualified and competent
subcontractors and suppliers will be utilized on the Project and to prevent
"bid-shopping" and/or "bid-chopping", each Bidder shall identify within seven (7)
days after Bid receipt date the name of the subcontractor and supplier used by
the Bidder in his bid for each subcontractor and supplier whose bid or quote
exceeds $50,000.00. Bidder's List shall be provided on the Listing Form
provided with the Proposal Form. A Bidder's failure to indicate the name(s) of
the subcontractors and major suppliers included in his lump sum price within
seven (7) days after Bid receipt may result in the rejection of the Bidder's bid as
nonresponsive.
b. The successful Bidder shall use the subcontractor and supplier identified by him
as being included in his lump sum price, provided however, the Bidder assumes
the risk that the subcontractor or supplier listed within the seven (7) day period
will be acceptable to the Owner and the Architect. The Bidder shall not
substitute another subcontractor for the listed subcontractor or supplier unless
agreed to in writing by the Owner.
c. If Bidder lists itself as a supplier for any of the classifications listed, then the
Bidder will be required to furnish such product from its manufacturing inventory
and to demonstrate to the Owner and Architect that it has satisfactory
qualifications and prior experience manufacturing and furnishing such materials,
equipment and/or products. If Bidder lists itself as a subcontractor for any of the
classifications listed, then the Bidder will be required to perform the work with its
own regularly employed personnel and to demonstrate to the Owner and
Architect that it has satisfactory qualifications and prior experience performing
such work with its own regularly employed personnel. The Owner reserves the
right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by Bidder fails to satisfy the
Owner that the Bidder has satisfactory qualifications and prior experience
performing such work and/or furnishing such materials, equipment and/or
products.
1.03 CERTIFICATE OF RESPONSIBILITY
A. Each Bidder submitting a bid equal to or in excess of $50,000.00 on public or private
projects must show on his bid and on the face of the envelope containing the bid, his
