ARTICLE 1—DEFINED TERMS
1.01 Terms used in these Instructions to Bidders have the meanings indicated in the General Conditions
and Supplementary Conditions. Additional terms used in these Instructions to Bidders have the
meanings indicated below:
A. Issuing Office—The office from which the Bidding Documents are to be issued, and which
registers plan holders.
ARTICLE 2—BIDDING DOCUMENTS
2.01 Bidder shall obtain a complete set of Bidding Requirements and proposed Contract Documents
(together, the Bidding Documents). See the Agreement for a list of the Contract Documents. It is
Bidder’s responsibility to determine that it is using a complete set of documents in the preparation
of a Bid. Bidder assumes sole responsibility for errors or misinterpretations resulting from the use
of incomplete documents, by Bidder itself or by its prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers.
2.02 Bidding Documents are made available for the sole purpose of obtaining Bids for completion of
the Project and permission to download or distribution of the Bidding Documents does not confer
a license or grant permission or authorization for any other use. Authorization to download
documents, or other distribution, includes the right for plan holders to print documents solely for
their use, and the use of their prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers, provided the plan holder
pays all costs associated with printing or reproduction. Printed documents may not be re-sold
under any circumstances.
2.03 Bidder may register as a plan holder and obtain complete sets of Bidding Documents, in the
number and format stated in the Advertisement or invitation to bid, from the Issuing Office.
Bidders may rely that sets of Bidding Documents obtained from the Issuing Office are complete,
unless an omission is blatant. Registered plan holders will receive Addenda issued by Owner.
2.04 Plan rooms (including construction information subscription services, and electronic and virtual
plan rooms) may distribute the Bidding Documents, or make them available for examination.
Those prospective bidders that obtain an electronic (digital) copy of the Bidding Documents from
a plan room are encouraged to register as plan holders from the Bidding Documents Website or
Issuing Office. Owner is not responsible for omissions in Bidding Documents or other documents
obtained from plan rooms, or for a Bidder’s failure to obtain Addenda from a plan room.
2.05 Electronic Documents
A. When the Bidding Requirements indicate that electronic (digital) copies of the Bidding
Documents are available, such documents will be made available to the Bidders as Electronic
Documents in the manner specified.
1. Bidding Documents will be provided in PDF (Portable Document Format) (.pdf). It is the
intent of the Engineer and Owner that such Electronic Documents are to be exactly
representative of the paper copies of the documents. However, because the Owner and
Engineer cannot totally control the transmission and receipt of Electronic Documents
nor the Contractor’s means of reproduction of such documents, the Owner and
Engineer cannot and do not guarantee that Electronic Documents and reproductions
prepared from those versions are identical in every manner to the paper copies.
