Its accuracy or completeness is not guaranteed by the Owner, Architect or Construction Manager and in no event is it to be considered as part of the Contract Drawings and Specifications. The Contractor must assume all responsibility in excavating for this Project and shall not rely on subsurface information obtained from Architect, Construction Manager, or Owner. Bidders shall make their own investigation of existing subsurface conditions; neither Owner, Construction Manager, nor Architect will be responsible in any way for additional

TSC 216011 Instructions to Bidders Section 00 10 00-2 compensation for excavation work performed under the Contract due to Contractor’s assumptions based on Test Boring Data prepared solely for Architect’s use.

1.02 BIDDERS' EXAMINATION AND REPRESENTATION

A. Before submitting a bid, each Bidder should carefully examine the Documents and the construction site and fully inform himself with the limitations and conditions related to the Work included in his bid and shall include in his Bid a sum to cover the cost of such items. Contractors will not be given extra payments for conditions, which could have been determined by examining the site and the documents.

B. It is the purpose and intent of the Contract Documents that a fully complete job be accomplished. It shall be each Bidder's responsibility to include costs necessary to provide labor and materials for that portion of the Work bid upon, including incidentals, whether or not specifically required in the Specifications and Drawings.

F. No allowance shall be subsequently made in behalf of a Bidder by reason of an error or oversight on its part resulting from its failure to so examine the Construction Documents for the other trades.

G. Each Bidder understands that past acceptance of products does not assure acceptance on this Project. Products not specifically specified require requests for approval prior to bid due date.

TSC 216011 Instructions to Bidders Section 00 10 00-5

2. Whether the Bidder has submitted a bid that complies specifically with the

Invitation to Bid and the Instructions to Bidders.

3. Whether the Bidder has complied with all applicable statutes.

4. The ability and capacity of the Bidder to perform the Work.

132 Part V (Federal Register) and is licensed in the State of Michigan and the penal sum of the bond does not extend the underwriting limitation set forth in the subject Circular, unless the excess, if any, is reinsured with the approval of the Owner.
