The proposed requirement is a part of the overall project. Any delay in production of the proposed bridges could cause delays in the overall project, for this reason bonding will be required for the production of the bridges.

a. CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE WORK – Bidders should visit the site and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the delivery site. Failure to do so will not relieve offerors from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.

Only one site visit will be scheduled.

BIDDERS QUALIFICATIONS – To establish its responsibility, the Bidder may be requested by the Government prior to award, to submit a statement regarding his previous experience in performing comparable work, his business and technical organization, financial resources, and plant available to be used in performing the work.

If the revisions and amendments are of a nature which requires material changes in quantities or prices proposed or both, the date set for receipt of bid may be postponed by such number of days as in the opinion of the issuing officer will enable bidder to revise their proposal.
