QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS

The Owner may make such investigations as he/she deems necessary to determine the ability of the

Bidder to supply the necessary services and equipment, and the Bidder shall furnish to the Owner all

such information and data for the purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner reserves the right to

If at the time this contract is to be awarded the lowest base bid submitted by a responsible Bidder does

which is within the available funds. In case of error or discrepancy in the mathematics of the bid price,

no final award of the contract will be made until bids and extensions have been verified.

The Owner reserves the right to determine the lowest qualified Bidder by research of qualifications of

interviews, submitted certifications, or research of other customers. Submitted costs may not

determine the qualified bidder.

Only one (1) award will be made from this contract.
