If, in the District's opinion, the Bid proposal contains material variations in or departures from the commercial terms or functional design requirements, it may be rejected as being non-responsive. If a Bidder finds discrepancies in or omissions from the District's requirements, or if Bidder is in doubt as to the meaning of any provision in the Contract Documents, Bidder shall, at once, notify the District's Procurement Officer. If appropriate, a notice of addendum shall be posted to the District's ProcureWare site, mailed, e-mailed, or otherwise delivered to each person obtaining a set of Contract Documents.
