Records of such preliminary investigations as may have been made by the City may be inspected by contacting the City’s Authorized Representative as identified in the Notice to Bidders.

5.07 Making information available to Bidders is not to be construed in any way as a waiver of the aforesaid provisions, and Bidders must satisfy themselves through their own investigations as to conditions to be encountered.

5.08 Failure by Bidder to educate itself with available information will not relieve Bidder from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the Work.

5.09 Bidders are required to inform themselves fully of the conditions relating to the construction and labor under which the Work will be or is now performed, and, so far as possible, the successful Bidder must employ such means and methods in carrying out its Work as will not cause any interruption or interference with any other contractor and/or work undertaken directly by City forces.
