Except when otherwise specified, bidders must quote on all base items appearing on the proposal form. Any alterations or erasures in the bid document shall be initialed by the authorized representative signing the bid. No oral or telephone proposals or modifications of the bid will be considered.

In the event individual bid items are incorrectly totaled, the correct total will control. With each bid, the bidder shall submit the number of prints, specifications and all information required by LES in its proposal form. Prior to bid submission, all bidders shall visit and carefully inspect the proposed site of the work and fully inform themselves as to the general or special conditions that may be encountered.
