3.3 The apparent low BIDDER shall be required to show that he has handled former work of similar type and that no just claims are pending against such work. No Bid will be awarded to a BIDDER who is engaged in any other work, which would impair his ability to perform or finance this Work. 4. Examination of Contract Documents and Site 4.1 It is the responsibility of each BIDDER before submitting a Bid: 4.1.1 To examine thoroughly the Contract Documents and related data identified in the Bidding Documents; 4.1.2 To visit the site to become familiar with and satisfy BIDDER as to the general, local and site conditions that may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of the Work; 4.1.3 To consider federal, state and local Laws and Regulations that may affect cost, progress, performance or furnishing of the Work; 4.1.4 To study and carefully correlate BIDDER's knowledge and observations with the Contract Documents and other related data; and 4.1.5 To promptly notify ENGINEER of all conflicts, errors, ambiguities or discrepancies, which Bidder has discovered in or between the Contract Documents and such other related documents. 4.2 BIDDERS are responsible for examining and determining for themselves the location and nature of the proposed Work, the amount and character of the labor and materials required therefor, and the difficulties, which may be encountered. BIDDERS may not rely on oral or written representations made by the OWNER, including any reports and drawings identified pursuant to paragraph 4.2.1 and subparagraphs thereof of the General Conditions, unless the OWNER has guaranteed in writing that such representation is factually accurate, and by submitting a Bid, each Bidder waives all liability for any error in any representation made by the OWNER to the BIDDER. BIDDERS shall, at BIDDER'S own expense, inspect the site and its surroundings and conduct such supplementary examinations, investigations, and tests concerning conditions at or contiguous to the site (including surface, and subsurface) which may affect cost, progress, performance, or furnishing of the Work or which relate to any aspect of the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction to be employed by BIDDER and safety precautions and programs incident thereto for performing the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. By failing to make such an inspection, the BIDDER waives all rights to claim extra payment or time extensions due to unexpected conditions, which could have been determined had the site been reasonably inspected. If concealed or unknown conditions differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the Work or differ materially from the conditions indicated in the Contract Documents, then an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or in the Contract Time will be allowed by change order as provided in Article 11 or Article 12 respectively of the General Conditions. By submitting a Bid, the BIDDER represents that the BIDDER'S observations at the site are not inconsistent with the requirements of the proposed Contract Documents, unless otherwise noted by the BIDDER. 11 2025 WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT & SANITARY SEWER BACKWATER PREVENTER VALVE PROJECT Invitation to Bid 43
