b. Bidder has conducted or obtained and has understood all examinations, investigations, explorations, tests, reports, and studies that pertain to the subsurface conditions, as-built conditions, underground facilities, and all other physical conditions at or contiguous to the Site or otherwise that may affect the cost, progress, performance, or furnishing of Work, as Bidder considers necessary for the performance or furnishing of Work at the Contract Price, within the Contract Time, and in accordance with the other terms and conditions of Contract Documents, including specifically the provisions of the General

Conditions. Bidder has notified the District if it contends that it requires additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests, reports, studies, or similar information or data prior to submitting its bid;

g. Conditions Shown on the Contract Documents: Information as to underground conditions, as-built conditions, or other conditions or obstructions, indicated in the Contract Documents, e.g., on Drawings or in Specifications, has been obtained with reasonable care, and has been recorded in good faith. However, District only warrants, and Bidder may only rely, on the accuracy of limited types of information.

(1) As to above-ground conditions or as-built conditions shown or indicated in the Contract

Documents, there is no warranty, express or implied, or any representation express or implied, that this information is correctly shown or indicated. This information is verifiable by independent investigation and Bidder is required to make that verification as a condition to bidding. In submitting its Bid, Bidder shall rely on the results of its own independent investigation. In submitting its Bid, Bidder shall not rely on District-supplied information regarding above-ground conditions or as-built conditions.

(2) As to any subsurface condition shown or indicated in the Contract Documents, Bidder may rely only upon the general accuracy of actual reported depths, actual reported character of materials, actual reported soil types, actual reported water conditions, or actual obstructions shown or indicated. District is not responsible for the completeness of this information for bidding or construction; nor is District responsible in any way for any conclusions or opinions of Bidder drawn from that information; nor is District responsible for subsurface conditions that are not specifically shown if those subsurface conditions are reasonably determinable by above-ground conditions and observation or as-built conditions (e.g., subsurface soil conditions in areas contiguous to areas where an above-ground condition is shown; utility pipes between a manhole and a water source, etc.).

h. Conditions Shown in Reports and Drawings Supplied for Informational Purposes: Reference is made to

Bid No. 02-27 DOCUMENT 00 21 13- 4 the document entitled Existing Information and Documentation Regarding Project Site, for identification of:

(1) Subsurface Conditions: Those reports of explorations and tests of subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Project Site that have been utilized by Architect in preparing the Contract

Documents; and

(2) Physical Conditions: Those drawings of physical conditions in or relating to existing surface or subsurface structures at or contiguous to the Project Site that has been utilized by Architect in preparing the Contract Documents.

(3) These reports and drawings are not Contract Documents and, except for any “technical” data regarding subsurface conditions specifically identified in Existing Information and Documentation

Regarding Project Site, and underground facilities data, Bidder may not in any manner rely on the information in these reports and drawings.

11. Fire Safety Plan. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that if awarded the Project, Bidder shall prepare and submit, as part of its “Safety Plan” a fire safety plan, pursuant to Section 3303.1 of Chapter 33 of the California

Fire Code (“Fire Safety Plan”). The successful Bidder shall submit the Fire Safety Plan to the Division of The

• Name and contact information of site safety director.

• Documentation of the training of the site safety director and fire watch personnel.

• Procedures for reporting emergencies.

• Fire department vehicle access routes.

• Locations of fire protection equipment, including portable fire extinguishers, sandpipes, fire department connections and fire hydrants.

(2) Terminate the Contract. District shall only be obligated to pay Contractor for any Work that

Contractor had performed at the time of notification of postponement and that the District had in writing authorized Contractor to perform, if any, prior to issuing a Notice to Proceed.

20. Rejection of Bids. District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, including without limitation the right to reject any or all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced, or conditional bids, to re-bid, and to reject the bid of any Bidder if District believes that it would not be in the best interest of the District 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 District. District also reserves the right to waive inconsequential deviations not involving price, time, or changes in the Work. For purposes of this paragraph, an “unbalanced bid” is one having nominal prices for work item(s) that represent substantive work and/or overly-enhanced prices for nominal work item(s).
