2.0 - Instructions and Notifications to Bidders

• It is the vendor's responsibility to examine all specifications and site conditions

thoroughly, and comply fully with specifications and all attached terms and

conditions. Vendors must comply with all Federal, State, and City laws, ordinances

and regulations, and meet any and all registration requirements where required for

contractors as set forth by the State of Rhode Island. Failure to make a complete

submission as described herein may result in a rejection of the proposal.

• All costs associated with developing or submitting a proposal in response to this

Request, or to provide oral or written clarification of its content shall be borne by

the bidder. The City of Pawtucket assumes no responsibility for these costs.

• A submittal may be withdrawn by written request to the Purchasing Agent by the

proposer prior to the stated RFP deadline.

• Prior to the proposal deadline established for this RFP, changes may be made to

a proposal already received by the City if that vendor makes a request to the

Purchasing Agent, in writing, to do so. No changes to a proposal shall be made

after the RFP deadline.

• Proposals are considered to be irrevocable for a period of not less than ninety (90)
