Agreement, Engineer hereby grants to Bidder a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license under Engineer’s intellectual property rights to utilize, make copies and produce derivative works of the information contained in the Electronic Media, but solely in connection with the Bidder’s services and/or work on the Project.

Bidder acknowledges that the Electronic Media are subject to change or modification and Bidder agrees to bear full responsibility to update any derivative works produced from the Electronic Media.

ARTICLE 10 – SUBMITTAL OF BID FORM ON COMPUTER SPREAD SHEET

Bidder, at its option, in lieu of hand writing in the unit price figures in ink on the Bid forms above, may submit a computer printout sheet bearing certification by, and signature for, the bidding firm. The unit prices shown on acceptable printouts will be the unit prices used to tabulate the Bid and used in the Contract if awarded by the OWNER. The computer printouts must use the digital Bid Form file provided by the Engineer, and must not be modified other than the addition of bid price information, and the certification (shown below).

If a computer printout is used, the bidder must still execute that portion of the unit price Bid form which acknowledges the Bid Guaranty, Time of Completion, Liquidated Damages, and all addenda that may have been issued, “domestic” or

“foreign origin”, estimated amount of hazardous waste.

Bids with unit prices by computer printout may be rejected if:

1. The computer printout does not bear the certification verbatim, as shown below.

2. The computer printout is not signed in the name of the firm to whom the Project Manual was issued.

3. The computer printout omits required bid items or includes items not shown on the Bid form in the Contract

Documents.

4. The Bid documents issued by the OWNER are not fully executed as provided above.

If the Bid submitted by the bidder contains both the form furnished by the OWNER, completed according to the instructions, and also a computer printout, completed according to the instructions, unit prices of only one will be considered. In this situation, the unit bid prices shown on the computer printout will be used to determine the Bid. In the event of conflict between the two, unit Bid prices will prevail over the extended (Total) prices.

REQUIRED COMPUTER PRINTOUT CERTIFICATION

(YOUR FIRM'S NAME) certifies that the unit prices shown on this complete computer print-out for all of the Bid items and the alternates, if applicable, contained in this proposal are the unit prices intended and that its Bid will be tabulated using these unit prices and no other information from this print-out. (YOUR FIRM'S NAME) acknowledges and agrees that the total Bid amount shown will be read as its total Bid and further agrees that the official total Bid amount will be determined by multiplying the unit Bid prices shown in this print-out by the respective estimated quantities shown on the

Bid form then totaling all of the extended amounts. In the event of conflict between the two, unit Bid prices will prevail over the extended (Total) prices.
