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.
