IB-5

I-17.1 Owner reserves the right to reject all Bids, to waive all information, and to refuse to consider nonconforming, non-responsive, or conditional Bids and to reject the Bid of any Bidder if Owner believes that it would not be in the best interest of the project to make an award to that Bidder, whether because the Bid is not responsive or the Bidder is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criteria established by Owner. Owner also reserves the right to waive all informalities not involving price, time or changes in the Work and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder. The evaluation of Bids will be based on the sum of the total Base Bid price plus the total price offered for completing all of the alternate work items selected and awarded by Owner. Discrepancies between the multiplication of units of Work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices. Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.

I-17.3 Owner may consider the qualifications and experience of Subcontractors and other persons and organizations proposed for those portions of the Work as to which the identity of Subcontractors and other persons and organizations must be submitted as provided in the Supplementary Conditions.
