ADDTIONAL BIDDER'S NOTES

1. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government. If there is a difference between the unit price and the extended total, the unit price will be considered to be the intended bid and the total recomputed, accordingly. If a bidder provides a total but fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the specified quantity will be considered to be the intended unit price.

2. If a modification to a price is submitted which provides for an adjustment to the total amount, the application of adjustment to each item in the Bid Schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the offeror agrees that the adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every item in the Bid Schedule.

3. Prices must be submitted on all individual items of the Bid Schedule, otherwise the bid will be considered nonresponsive and will be rejected.

4. For the purpose of initial evaluation of bids, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the Bid Schedule as submitted by the bidder:

a. Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

b. In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the extended price, the unit price will govern;

c. Apparent errors in extensions of unit prices will be corrected;

d. Apparent errors in addition of lump sum and extended prices will be corrected.

5. For the purpose of bid evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the bidder intends the bid to be evaluated on the basis of unit prices the totals arrived at by the resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

6. The Job (lump sum) line items in the Bid Schedule are not "Estimated Quantity" line items and are not subject to the "Variation in Estimated Quantity" contract clause.

7. The Contract Clause 52.232-27, "Prompt Payment for Construction Contracts" requires that the name and address of the contractor official, to whom payment is to be sent, be the same as that in the contract or in a proper Notice of Assignment.

8. Principal Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer who signs this contract will be the Principal Contracting Officer for this contract.

However, any Contracting Officer assigned to the Los Angeles District, contracting within his authority, may take formal action on this contract when the Principal Contracting Officer is unavailable and the action needs to be taken.

9. Amounts and prices shall be indicated in either words or figures, NOT

BOTH.

10. Payment of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the mandatory method of payment. The Contractors attention is directed to Contract Clause No.

ENG FORM 93 shall be submitted to that office on the 20th day of each month in appropriate form and certified. Photocopies of the form shall be furnished on that same date to the Corps of Engineers offices designated at the Pre-Construction Conference.

12. The bidder shall distribute his indirect costs (overhead, profit, bond, etc.,) over all items in the Bid Schedule.

13. The bidder shall furnish all plant, labor, material, equipment, etc., necessary to perform all work in strict accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the contract in include all attachments thereto.

14. Some quantities are ESTIMATED, the bidders prices MUST BE FIRM.

15. Bidder is cautioned to check his Bid Schedule carefully prior to submission. If the Bid Schedule contains unit prices, they should be round off to the second decimal point only NOT EXTENDED FUTHER.

16. Contractor is required to fill in Cage code (Reference Section 00 45 00

- REPRESENTATION AND CERTIFICATIONS, entitled "Required Central Contractor Registration" Mar 1998) and DUNS Number, entitled, "Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number" June1999) in Block No. 15 on Standard Form 1442, Name and Address Block (Cage Code under Code and DUNS No. under Facility Code respectively).

17. Bidders are to submit prices on all line items in the Bid Schedule.

See Section 00 21 13 - INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS, Clause 52.217-5, entitled, "Evaluation of Options".
