The District assumes no liability or responsibility for the failure or inability of any Bidder

to successfully download any and all Contract documents, including but not limited to

specifications, proposal forms and/or plans, as a result of any type of technological

successful downloading of any and all District Contract documents by the Bidder, whether

caused by the District or other parties, directly or indirectly.

Bidding documents are only available online, and all addenda issued for this Contract will

be available online at the District’s website, www.mwrd.org. The path is as follows: Doing

Business  Procurement and Materials Management  Contract Announcements. A

copy of such addenda will also be emailed/faxed to each person which downloads a set

of such Contract documents.

Bidders shall acknowledge receipt of each addendum issued in the space provided on

the proposal signature page or submit a signed copy of each addendum with the Bidder’s

proposal at the time and date set to receive bids.

If any potential Bidder contemplating to submit a proposal is in doubt as to the true

Bidders are STRONGLY URGED to inspect all areas of the work sites prior to bidding, in

order to familiarize themselves with the nature of the work, the method of accomplishing

other appurtenances needed to successfully deliver the liquid carbon dioxide. The

Contractor shall be solely responsible for providing said appurtenances. The Bidder is

hereby cautioned that the District will not be responsible for waiting time charges resulting

Management  Contract Announcements  (Find correct project)  Ask a Question.
