INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS IB-6
10. INTERPRETATION
A. Submitted bids shall state the price for each item enumerated in the Bid Proposal
Form for the kind of improvement bid upon, except in bids involving alternate bid
items in which the bidder has the option of bidding on one or more of said alternates.
The unit price for each item must be shown, together with the total amount for each
item carried forward. In case of errors or discrepancies, the unit price as shown will
govern in the computation of the bid. Failure to comply with the provisions of this
section may be deemed sufficient ground for rejection of any bid.
B. All submitted bids will be compared on the basis of the Engineer's Estimate of
quantities of Work to be done and materials to be furnished. These quantities are
approximate only, and the Board expressly reserves the right to increase or decrease
the same or omit any item that the Board may deem advisable. Bids which exceed
the estimate may not be accepted. On Project contracts which will be awarded on
the basis of unit prices as submitted in the proposal, the Board will look with
disfavor upon a proposal submitted in which the bidder's unit prices are or appear to
the Board to be unbalanced. The Board reserves the right to reject any bid which,
in its opinion, appears unbalanced.
