NOTE 1: The unit “Job” as used in this Bidding Schedule is synonymous with the term “Lump Sum” used elsewhere within these plans and specifications.

NOTE 2: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for each item listed in the Schedule requiring a unit price. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required item(s), but does furnish an extended total, or an estimated amount for such item(s), the Government shall deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended amount for that line item by the quantity. IF A BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE

AND THE EXTENDED TOTAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, ITS BID

SHALL BE DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE AND THEREFORE INELIGIBLE FOR

AWARD.

NOTE 3: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only total price of bid, but the price for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or subline items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2, Rejection of Individual Bids).

NOTE 4: THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442 after Notice of Award. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within 24 hours after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract have been conducted.

*NOTE 5: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS. The Government may require the delivery of, in whole or part, the Optional Work Items. The Government may exercise the Optional Work Items by written notice to the Contractor. If the Government activates an Optional Work Item, the activation will occur 30 calendar days prior to completion of the Base Work.

*NOTE 6: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for this basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

*NOTE 7: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONAL

WORK. In the event that the Optional Work items are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract shall be as stipulated below for each Optional Work Item, in addition to the original contract duration of 90 calendar days established for the Base Work Items specified in Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES paragraph entitled "COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF
