uninformed bidders. Receipt of amendments or addenda by a bidder must be acknowledged in the

bid by attachment, or by letter or fax received before the time set for opening of bids. Oral

explanation or instructions given prior to the opening will not be binding.

4. CASH DISCOUNTS-Discount offered for payment of less than thirty (30) days will not be

at least ninety (90) days after bid opening.

6. ALTERNATE BIDS-bidders are cautioned that any alternate bid, unless specifically requested or

rejection of the alternate bid.

7. LATE BIDS-Any bid received at the office designated herein after the exact time specified for
