7.2 Bidder is solely responsible for timely receipt by the District of any withdrawal of its bid. The unavailability for any reason of any facsimile or email equipment for receipt of bidder's transmission of its withdrawal shall not relieve bidder of the responsibility set out in the preceding sentence.
IB-8 REJECTION OF BIDS

8.2 The District may consider irregular and reject bids if: (1) the bid contains any unit price that is unbalanced, either above or below the amount that the District deems reasonable for a

Bidder must file with the District its annual bid bond at the time of or before submitting its bid and supply a copy of that bid bond with each bid submittal.
