1.2 NOTES

NOTE 1: Offerors shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items, which require unit prices. If the offeror fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items, but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem his unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE

OFFEROR OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY

ITEM, HIS OFFER WILL BE DECLARED NONRESPONSIVE.

In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total, the unit price will be held to be the intended offer. If the offeror shows only the total price but fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the estimated quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

Any offer for items indicated above which are unbalanced as to price may be rejected as non-responsive. An unbalanced offer is one which is based on price significantly less than cost for some work and price which is significantly overstated for other work.

Award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

AC = Acre CF = Cubic Feet CY = Cubic Yard DH = Miles EA = Each FC = 1000 Cubic Feet FT = Foot HF = 100 Feet HH = 100 Cubic Feet HL = 100 Linear Feet HR = Hours HS = 100 Square Feet

MOUND CITY SOUTH CULVERT REPLACEMENT Page 4 of 202 W912EQ-17-B-0002

HY = 100 Yards JA = Job LB = Pound LF = Linear Foot LH = Labor Hour LY = Linear Yard MO = Months SB = Square Mile SF = Square Foot SQ = Square SY = Square Yard TL = 1000 Linear Feet TN = Net Ton UN = Unit YD = Yard YL = 100 Linear Yards YM = Cubic Yards Per Mile

All quantities are estimated except where unit is given as "JA" or "EA".

NOTE 2: If an offer or modification to an offer based on unit prices is submitted and provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price, including lump sum units, in bid schedule must be stated, or, if it is not stated, the offeror agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

NOTE 3: Offerors are cautioned to read Contract Clause entitled "DFAR 252.204-7004, Alternate A, System for Award Management (FEB 2014) located in Section 00 70 00.00 11 CONTRACT CLAUSES.

(b)(1) Any bid, modification, or withdrawal received at the Government office designated in the IFB after the exact time specified for receipt of bids is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late bid would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(i) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the IFB, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of bids; or

(c) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the bid wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(e) Bids may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of bids.

A bid may be withdrawn in person by a bidder or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of bids, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the bid.

(c) The Government may accept any item or combination of items, unless doing so is precluded by a restrictive limitation in the solicitation or the bid.
