ADDITIONAL BIDDER'S NOTES:

1. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered to be the bid.

2. If a modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted which provides for a job amount adjustment to the total estimated amount, the application of the job amount adjustment to each unit price in the Price Schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the Price Schedule.

3. Prices must be submitted on all individual items of the Solicitation, Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) Schedule. Failure to do so may cause the bid to be determined “non-responsive.”

4. For the purpose of initial evaluation of bids, the following will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of the Price 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 amount "JA" line items in the Price 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.

All stone shall be durable material as approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative. In case an unlisted source is to be used, the Contractor shall show that an adequate quantity of material is available and provide quality test data. Stone shall be of a suitable quality to ensure permanence in the structure and in the climate in which it is to be used. The Contractor shall vary the quarrying, processing, loading and placing operations to produce the sizes and quality of stone specified. If the stone being furnished by the Contractor does not fully meet all the requirements of these specifications, the Contractor shall furnish, at no additional cost to the Government, other stone meeting the requirements of these specifications.

2.1.2 Stone Sources

2.1.2.1 Source Authorization

Before any stone is produced from any source for completion of the work under this contract, the source of stone must be submitted for approval and authorized by the Contracting Officer's Representative. The Contractor shall designate in writing the Stone Source(s) from which he proposes to furnish stone. Authorization of a stone source shall not be construed as a waiver of the right of the Government to require the Contractor to furnish stone which complies with these specifications. Materials produced from localized areas, intervals, or strata will be rejected, when such materials do not comply with the specifications. Before a proposed source or sources of stone will be considered for evaluation and approval, the Contractor must demonstrate that the source is capable of providing the quality, quantities and gradation needed and at the rate needed to maintain the scheduled progress of the work. If sufficient amounts of stone conforming to these specifications are not available from a source or sources used in

SECTION 35 31 23 Page 2 the work, the Contractor shall submit stone from another source for authorization.

2.1.2.2 Authorization Criteria

Authorization of a proposed stone source will be based on test results and quarry or stone source inspection, and/or service records. A minimum of two stone quality test results per source will be required, as outlined in paragraph: Quality Compliance Sampling and Testing.

The Contracting Officer's Representative will use past Corps of Engineers test results as the primary criteria to authorize the source when it is approved by the Los Angeles District Corps of Engineers Geologist that these results remain applicable. The Contracting Officer's Representative will use test results from other agencies or private laboratories, and or service records only as the secondary criteria to authorize a source. The secondary stone test criteria shall be reviewed and approved by the Corps Geologist from the Los Angeles District Geology Section, Geotechnical Branch, before it is allowed to be used by the COR as a secondary criteria.

A service record is considered to be acceptable if stone from the proposed source has remained sound and functional after at least 10 years of exposure on a project similar to and in a similar weathering environment as the one to be constructed under these specifications. The Contracting Officer's Representative will make the final decision on the source of stone authorization, based primarily on the Los Angeles District Corps of Geologist's quarry/stone source inspection and the Geologist's approval of past Corps of Engineers test results. The Contracting Officer's Representative shall use past USACE test results as the primary criteria to authorize the source when based on test results.

2.1.2.3 Potential Stone Sources
