INTERPRETATION OF BIDS:

In the event of a difference in written words and figures in the Bid, the amount in written words shall govern.

The Owner reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals and to waive any formality in bidding.

Throughout the entire course of the Work, the Contractor will maintain a qualified Superintendent or foreman at

the project site at least 40 hours per week, every day, Monday through Friday, who will have full authority to

act for the company represented. His responsibilities will include keeping up to date as-built drawings,

notifying the Architect of any on-site problems or conflicts, receiving and unloading any material deliveries at

the site. A single individual will maintain these duties throughout the course of the work, unless the Architect

and Owner are previously notified.

METHOD OF AWARD:

The Owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive any and/or informalities and to disregard all

nonconforming, non-responsive or conditional bids.

The Owner intends to execute a contract on a "Best Value Basis", based upon the Owner's available budget for

this project. All of the bids will be evaluated for each individual combination of base bid items plus additive

alternate items to determine the "Best Value" bidder, considering the available budget. If the lowest

combination base bid only exceeds the available budget, the Owner may reject any and/or all bids.

Bidders are advised that Aransas County Independent School District reserves the right to add additional

minor repair, remediation and remodeling projects to the scope of work during the course of the building

program. Such work may or may not affect the specific work identified in the plans and specifications available

at the time of bid submission. Any additional work will be added by Change Order mutually acceptable to the

District and the Contractor.
