an assurance that such examination has been made and the failure of the bidder to familiarize

conditions there relating to construction and labor and should fully inform itself as to the facilities

the Project limits, so as to be apprised of all subsurface conditions and other relevant information.

The Contractor, by the execution of the Contract, shall in no way be relieved of any obligation

under it due to the failure to receive or examine any form or legal instrument or to visit the site

and acquaint itself with the conditions there existing and the Town of Southbury will reject any

claim based on the facts regarding which it should have been on notice.

6. TAX EXEMPTION

The Town of Southbury is exempt from paying tax and, for that reason; the bid price shall not
