SECTION C - GENERAL CONDITIONS
C2-2 INTERPRETATION AND
PREPARATION OF PROPOSAL
SECTION C2-2 INTERPRETATION AND PREPARATION OF PROPOSAL
C2-2.1 PROPOSAL FORM: The Owner will furnish bidders with Proposal form, which
will contain an itemized list of the items of work to be done or materials to be funished
and upon which bid prices are requested. The Proposal form will state the Bidder's
general understanding of the project to be completed, provide a space for furnishing the
amount of bid security, and state the basis for entering into a formal contract. The Owner
— will furnish forms for the Bidder's `Experience Record," "Equipment Schedule," and
"Financial Statement," all of which must be properly executed and filed with the Director
of the City Water Department one week prior to the hour for opening of bids.
The financial statement required shall have been prepared by an independent certified
public accountant or an independent public accountant holding a valid permit issued by
an appropriate state licensing agency, and shall have been so prepared as to reflect the
current financial status. This statement must be current and no more than one (1) year old.
In the case that bidding date falls within the time a new statement is being prepared, the
previous statement shall be updated by proper verification. Liquid assets in the amount of
ten (10) percent of the estimated project cost will be required.
For an experience record to be considered to be acceptable for a given project, it must
reflect the experience of the firm seeking qualification in work of both the same nature
and magnitude as that of the project for which bids are to be received, and such
experience must have been completed not more than five (5) years prior to the date on
which Bids are to be received. The Director of the Water Department shall be sole judge
.. as to the acceptability of experience for qualification to bid on any Fort Worth Water
Department project.
The prospective bidder shall schedule the equipment he has available for the project and
state that he will rent such additional equipment as may be required to complete the
project on which he submits a bid.
C2-2.2 INTERPRETATION OF QUANTITIES: The quantities of work and materials
to be furnished as may be listed in the proposal forms or other parts of the Contract
Documents will be considered as approximate only and will be used for the purpose of
comparing bids on a uniform basis. Payment will be made to the Contractor for only the
actual quantities of work performed or materials furnished in strict accordance with the
Contract Documents and Plans. The quantities of work to be performed and materials to
be furnished may be increased or decreased as hereinafter provided, without in any way
invalidating the unit prices bid or any other requirements of the Contract Documents.
C2-2(1)
C2-2.3 EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SITE OF PROJECT:
Bidders are advised that the Contract Documents on file with the Owner shall constitute
all of the information which the Owner will furnish. All additional information and data
which the Owner will supply after promulgation of the formal contract documents shall
be issued in the form of written addenda and shall become part of the Contract
Documents just as though such addenda were actually written into the original Contract
Documents. `
Bidders are required, prior to filing of proposal, to read and become familiar with the _
Contract Documents, to visit the site of the project and examine carefully all local
conditions, to inform themselves by their own independent research and investigations,
tests, boring, and by such other means as may be necessary to gain a complete knowledge
of the conditions which will be encountered during construction of the project. They must
judge for themselves the difficulties of the work and all attending circumstances affecting
the cost of doing the work or the time required for its completion, and obtain all
information required to make an intelligent proposal. No information given by the Owner
or any representative of the Owner other than that contained in the Contract Documents
and officially promulgated addenda thereto, shall be binding upon the Owner. Bidders _
shall rely exclusively and solely upon their own estimates, investigation, research, tests,
explorations, and other data which are necessary for full and complete information upon
which the proposal is to be based. It is mutually agreed that the submission of a proposal
is prima -facie evidence that the bidder has made the investigation, examinations and tests
herein required. Claims for additional compensation due to variations between conditions
actually encountered in construction and as indicated in the Contract Documents will not
be allowed.
The logs of Soil Borings, if any, on the plans are for general information only and may
not be correct. Neither the Owner nor the Engineer guarantee that the data shown is
representative of conditions which actually exist.
C2-2.4 SUBMITTING OF PROPOSAL: The Bidder shall submit his Proposal on the
form furnished by the Owner. All blank spaces applicable to the project contained in the
form shall be correctly filled in and the Bidder shall state the prices, written in ink in both
words and numerals, for which he proposes to do work contemplated or furnish the
materials required. All such prices shall be written legibly. In case of discrepancy

all utilities, etc., is unknown to the Owner, and the Owner assumes no responsibility for
failure to show any or all such structures and utilities on the plans or to show them in
their exact location. It is mutually agreed that such failure will not be considered
C5-5 (5)
sufficient basis for claims for additional compensation for Extra Work or for increasing
the pay quantities in any manner whatsoever, unless an obstruction encountered is such as
to necessitate changes in' the lines and grades of considerable magnitude or requires the
building of special works, provision of which is not made in these Contract Documents,
in which case the provision in these Contract Documents for Extra Work shall apply.
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to verify locations of the adjacent and/or
conflicting utilities sufficiently in advance of construction in order that he may negotiate

with the first day of the work completed as defined in C1-1.23 "WORKING DAYS" or
the date stipulated in the "WORK ORDER" for beginning work, whichever comes first.
Nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as prohibiting the Contractor
.. from working on Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holidays, providing that the following
requirements are met:
a. A request to work on a specific Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday must
be made to the Engineer no later that the preceding Thursday.
b. Any work to be done on the project on such a specific Saturday, Sunday or

C7-7.7 TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION: The Contractor shall
commence the. working operations within the time specified in the Contract Documents

will be performed and the premises cleaned up in accordance with the Contract
Documents and within the time established in such documents and such extension of time
as may be properly authorized.
C7-7.8 EXTENSION OF TIME COMPLETION: The Contractor's request for an
extension of time of completion shall be considered only when the request for such
extension is submitted in writing to the Engineer within seven days from and after the
time alleged cause of delay shall occurred. Should an extension of the time of completion
be requested such request will be forwarded to the City Council for approval.
In adjusting the contract time for completion of work, consideration will be given to
unforeseen causes beyond the control of and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, fire, flood, tornadoes, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, embargoes,
or delays of sub -contractors due to such causes.
C7-7(3)
When the date of completion is based on a calendar day bid, a request for extension of
time because of inclement weather will not be considered. A request for extension of time
due to inability to obtain supplies and materials will be considered only when a review of
the Contractor's purchase order dates and other pertinent data as requested by the —
Engineer indicates that the Contractor has made a bonafide attempt to secure delivery on
schedule. This shall include efforts to obtain the supplies and materials from alternate
sources in case the first source cannot make delivery.

in greater amounts or quantities than those set forth in the approved Contract Documents,
then the contract time mat be increased by Change Order.
C7-7.9 DELAYS: The Contractor shall receive no compensation for delays or
hindrances to the work, except when direct and unavoidable extra cost to the Contractor

be furnished by the City. When such extra compensation is claimed, a written statement
thereof shall be presented by the Contractor to the Engineer and if by the Engineer found
correct, shall be approved and referred by the Engineer to the City Council for final
approval or disapproval; and the action thereon by the City Council shall be final and
binding. If delay is caused by specific orders given by the Engineer to stop work, or by
the performance of extra work, or by the failure of the City to provide material or
necessary instructions for carrying on the work, then such delay will entitle the Contractor
to an equivalent extension of time, his application for shall, however, be subject to the
approval of the City Council: and no such extension of time shall release the Contractor ••
or the surety on his performance bond from all his obligations hereunder which shall
remain in full force until the discharge of the contract.
Y
C7-7.10 TIlyIE OF COMPLETION: The time of completion is an essential
element of the Contract. Each bidder shall indicate in the appropriate place on the last
page of the proposal, the number of working days or calendar days that he will require to —
fully complete this contract or the time of completion will be specified by the City in the
proposal section of the Contract Documents.
The number of days indicated shall be a realistic estimate of the time required to complete
the work covered by the specific contract being bid upon. The amount of time so stated 04
by the successful bidder or the City will become the time of completion specified in the
Contract Documents.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in
the Contract Documents, or increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the contract is signed, the sum per
day given in the following schedule, unless otherwise specified in other parts of the
Contract Documents, will be deducted from the monies due the Contractor, not as a
penalty, but as liquidated damages suffered by the Owner.

In the listing above, the "SU" designation means that rates
listed under the identifier do not reflect collectively
bargained wage and fringe benefit rates. Other designations
indicate unions whose rates have been determined to be
prevailing.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
..
..
http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/davisbaconfI"X43.dvb 9/2/2008
1 GLr,V J Vl .,
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
.. U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an
interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:
Wage and Hour Administrator
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the
interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
_ etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.
3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an
interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
,.. Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:
Administrative Review Board
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210
4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

PART 1: GENERAL
1.01 PIPE LOCATIONS
A. Pipelines, electrical conduits, and other underground utilities shall be located substantially as indicated
on the Drawings, but the Engineer reserves the right to make such modifications in locations as may
be found desirable to avoid interference with existing structures or for other reasons. Where fittings
are noted on the Drawings, such notation is for the Contractor's convenience and does not relieve him
from laying and jointing different or additional items where required.
1.02 OPEN EXCAVATIONS
A. All open excavations shall be adequately safeguarded by providing temporary barricades, caution
signs, lights and other means to prevent accidents to persons, and damage to property. The Contractor
shall, at his own expense, provide suitable and safe bridges and other crossings for accommodating
travel by pedestrians and workmen. Bridges provided for access during construction shall be removed
when no longer required. The length or size of excavation will be controlled by the particular
surrounding conditions, but shall always be confined to the limits prescribed by the Engineer. If the
excavation becomes a hazard, or if it excessively restricts traffic at any point, the Engineer may require
special construction procedures, such as limiting the length of the open trench, prohibiting stacking
excavated material in the street, and requiring that the trench shall not remain open overnight.
B. The Contractor shall take precautions, such as fences and barricades, to prevent injury to the public
due to open trenches. All trenches, excavated material, equipment, or other obstacles which could be
dangerous to the public shall be well lighted at night.
1.03 TEST PITS
y A. Test pits for the purpose of locating underground pipelines or structures in advance of the construction
shall be excavated and backfilled by the Contractor at the direction of the Engineer. Test pits shall be
backfilled immediately after their purpose has been satisfied and the surface restored and maintained
in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.
1.04 MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC
_ A. Unless permission to close a street is received in writing from the proper authority, all excavated
material shall be placed so that vehicular and pedestrian traffic may be maintained at all times. If the
Contractor's operations cause traffic hazards, he shall repair the road surface, provide temporary ways,
erect wheel guards or fences, or take other measures for safety satisfactory to the Engineer.
B. Detours around construction shall be in conformance with the applicable permit and will be subject to
the approval of the Owner and the Engineer. Where detours are permitted, the Contractor shall
provide all necessary barricades and signs as required to divert the flow of traffic. While traffic is
detoured, the Contractor shall expedite construction operations and periods when traffic is being
detoured will be strictly controlled by the Owner.
C. The Contractor shall take precautions to prevent injury to the public due to open trenches. Night
watchmen may be required where special hazards exist, or police protection provided for traffic while
work is in progress. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for damage or injuries whether or not
police protection has been provided.

at his expense, to a condition similar or equal to that existing before the damage was done, or he shall
make good the damage in some other manner acceptable to the Engineer.
1.07 MAINTENANCE OF FLOW
A. The Contractor shall, at his own cost, provide for the flow of watermains, sewers, drains and water
courses interrupted during the progress of the work, and shall immediately cart away and remove all L
offensive matter. The entire procedure of maintaining existing flow shall be fully discussed with the
Engineer well in advance of the interruption of any flow.
1.08 COOPERATION WITHIN THIS CONTRACT
A. The Contractor shall cooperate with Subcontractors or trades, and shall assist in incorporating the
work of other trades where necessary or required. —
B. Cutting and patching, drilling and fitting shall be carried out where required by the Contractor and his
Subcontractor having jurisdiction, unless otherwise indicated herein or directed by the Engineer.
1.09 CLEANUP
A. During the course of the work, the Contractor shall keep the site of his operations in as clean and neat
a condition as is possible. He shall dispose of all residue resulting from the construction work and, at
the conclusion of the work, he shall remove and haul away any surplus excavation, broken pavement,
lumber, equipment, temporary structures, and any other refuse remaining from the construction
operations, and shall leave the entire site of the work in a neat and orderly condition.

Contractor in writing thereof. If the Owner finds that the Contractor is entitled to any extension of any
Contract completion date, the Owner's determination as to the total number of days extension shall be
based upon the currently approved CPM schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data
shall be included in the next updating of the schedule. Actual delays in activities which, according to
the CPM schedule, do not affect any Contract completion date shown by the critical path in the
network will not be the basis for a change therein.
E. Each request for change in Contract completion date shall be submitted by the Contractor to the
Owner within 30 days after the beginning of the delay for which a time extension is requested but
before the date of final payment under this Contract. No time extension will be granted for requests
which are not submitted within the foregoing time limit.
I. From time to time it may be necessary for the Contract schedule or completion time to be
adjusted by the Owner to reflect the effects of job conditions, weather, technical difficulties,
strikes, unavoidable delays on the part of the Owner or its representatives, and other
unforeseeable conditions which may indicate schedule adjustments or completion time
extensions. Under such conditions, the Owner will direct the Contractor to reschedule the work
or Contract completion time to reflect the changed conditions, and the Contractor shall revise his
schedule accordingly. No additional compensation will be made to the Contractor for such
schedule changes except for unavoidable overall contract time extensions beyond the actual
completion of unaffected work, in which case the Contractor shall take all possible action to
minimize any time extension and any additional cost to the Owner. Available float time in the
CPM schedule may be used by the Owner as well as by the Contractor.
F. Float or slack time is defined as the amount of time between the earliest start date and the latest start
date or between the earliest finish date and the latest finish date of a chain of activities on the CPM.
Float or slack time is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Contractor or the Owner.
Contractor's work shall proceed according to early start dates, and the Owner shall have the right to
reserve and apportion float time according to the needs of the project. The Contractor acknowledges
and agrees that actual delays, affecting paths of activities containing float time, will not have any affect
upon contract completion times, 'providing that the actual delay does not exceed the float time
associated with those activities.
1.09 COORDINATING SCHEDULES WITH OTHER CONTRACT SCHEDULES
A. Where work is to be performed under this Contract concurrently with or contingent upon work
performed on the same facilities or area under other contracts, the Contractor's CPM Schedule shall be
coordinated with the schedules of the other contracts. The Contractor shall obtain the schedules ofthe
other appropriate contracts from the Owner for the preparation and updating of his CPM schedule and
shall make the required changes in his schedule when indicated by changes in corresponding
schedules.
B. In case of interference between the operations of different contractors, the Owner will determine the
work priority of each contractor and the sequence of work necessary to expedite the completion of the

entire Project. In such cases, the decision of the Owner shall be accepted as final. The temporary
delay of the Contractor's work due to such circumstances shall not be considered as justification for
claims for additional compensation.
1.10 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
A. The approved CPM schedule shall be the schedule to be used by the Contractor for reporting progress.
A separate payment schedule, not tied to the CPM schedule, shall be used for requesting payment of
work accomplished. Payment items for the specific activities and values of the individual items shall
be approved by the Engineer.
B. If the Contractor does not follow his planned schedule or desires to make changes in his method of
operating and scheduling, he shall notify the Engineer in writing stating the reasons for the change.
Progress payments will be awarded based on amount judged complete in conjunction with the
approved activity sequence. Progress payments on work out of sequence will not be allowed unless
logic changes are made and approved by the Engineer to the approved CPM schedule.
C. The payment request shall include the activities or portions of activities completed during the
reporting period and their total value as basis for the Contractor's periodic request for payment.
Payment made will be based on the total value of such activities completed or partially completed after
verification by the Engineer. The request shall state the percentage of the work actually completed as
of the report date.
1.11 PROJECT EXECUTION AND CONTROL REPORTING
A. All change proposals shall be submitted to the Engineer using the "Contract Change Proposal" form to
be provided by the Engineer.

Page 16 of 19
the moisture content and density of the previously placed soil are as specified.
C. Do not use puddling, ponding or flooding as a means of compaction.
3.10 MATERIAL PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS:
A. Select Borrow, and Fine Aggregate:
Dump and spread in layers not to exceed 8-in. [20 cm] uncompacted thickness.
Compact, fill and backfill under all streets, roadways and structures to not less than 95
percent (per ASTM D698).
B. Screened Gravel and Crushed Stone:
Dump and spread in layers not to exceed 8-in. [20 cm] uncompacted thickness.
Compact using self-propelled vibratory steel drum or rubber tire rollers with a
minimum of 4 passes in directions perpendicular to one another in open areas. In
small areas, use manually operated vibratory plate compactors with a minimum of 4
passes.
C. Bank -run Gravel and Acceptable materials for use as non-structural fill:
Dump and spread in layers not to exceed 12-in. [30 cm] uncompacted thickness.
Compact to not less than 90 percent (per ATMD D698) unless otherwise indicated.
D. Backfilling and filling operation shall be suspended in areas where tests are being made until tests
are completed and the testing laboratory has advised the Engineer that adequate densities are
obtained.
E. Geotextile Fabric:
The geotextile shall be placed with overlaps of a minimum of 36 inches. The backfill shall be
back dumped on the fabric and spread in a uniform lift maintaining the design aggregate
thickness at all times. Construction vehicles will not be allowed to traffic directly on the fabric.
3.11 STRUCTURAL FILL AND BACKFILL UNDER STRUCTURES:
A. Compact fill and backfill under structures and pavements with screened gravel, crushed stone,
select borrow, or fine aggregate as specified and indicated.
3.12 NON-STRUCTURAL BACKFILL AROUND STRUCTURES:

Page 17 of 19
B. Conduct hydraulic testing as soon as practicable after structures are constructed and other
necessary work has been done. Start backfilling promptly after completion of tests.
C. Deposit material evenly around structure to avoid unequal soil pressure.
D. Do not place backfill against or on structures until they have attained sufficient strength to
support the loads (including construction loads) to which they will be subjected, without
distortion, cracking, or other damage.
�. 3.13 MATERIAL FOR FILLING AND EMBANKMENTS:
A. Use acceptable materials for filling and building embankments unless otherwise indicated.
3.14 PLACING AND COMPACTING EMBANKMENT MATERIAL:
A. Compact fill material as specified and indicated.
B. Perform fill operation in an orderly and systematic manner using equipment in proper sequence to
meet the specified compaction requirements.
C. Place fill on surfaces which are free of unacceptable materials.
D. Begin filling in lowest section of work area. Grade surface of fill approximately horizontal but
provide with sufficient longitudinal and transverse slope to allow for runoff of surface water from
every point.
E. Conduct filling so that no obstruction to drainage from other sections of fill area is created at any
time.
F. Install temporary dewatering sumps in low areas during filling operation where excessive
amounts of rain runoff collect.
G. Compact uniformly throughout. Keep surfaces of fill reasonably smooth and free from humps
and hollows that would prevent proper and uniform compaction. Do not permit hauling
equipment to follow a single track on the same layer but direct equipment to spread out to prevent
overcompaction in localized areas. Take care in obtaining thorough compaction at edges of fill.
H. Slightly slope surface of fill to ensure drainage during periods of wet weather. Do not place fill
while rain is falling or after a rainstorm until the Engineer considers conditions satisfactory.
During such periods and upon suspension of filling operations for any period in excess of 12
hours, roll smooth the surface of fill using a smooth wheel static roller to prevent excessive
absorption of rainfall and surface moisture. Prior to resuming compaction operations, remove
muddy material off surface to expose firm, compacted material, as determined by the Engineer.
I. When fill is placed against an earlier fill or against in -situ material under and around structures,
including around piping beneath structures or embankments, slope junction between two sections
of fill, 1 vertical to 1.5 horizontal. Bench edge of existing fill 24-in. [60 cm] to form a serrated
edge of compact stable material against which to place the new fill. Ensure that rolling extends

Fill and Grading
Page 18 of 19
J. When fill is placed directly upon another older fill, clean surface thoroughly of debris and remove
any loose material. Then proof roll the entire old surface.
K. After spreading each loose lift to the required thickness and adjusting its moisture content as
necessary, roll with sufficient number of passes to obtain the required compaction. One pass is
defined as the required number of successive trips that by means of sufficient overlap will insure
complete coverage and uniform compaction of an entire lift. Do not make additional passes until
previous pass has been completed.
L. In case material of any fill sinks and weaves under roller or under hauling units and other
equipment, required degree of compaction is not being obtained. Reduce the moisture content. If
such sinking and weaving produces surface cracks, suspend operations on that part of the
embankment until it becomes sufficiently stabilized. Ideal condition in fill is that attained when
the entire fill below the surface being rolled is so firm and hard as to show only the slightest
weaving and deflection as roller passes. Spread out rolling operations over the maximum
practicable area to minimize condition of sinking and weaving.
M. If because of defective workmanship, compaction obtained over any area is less than that
required, remedy condition at no cost to Owner. If additional rolling or other means fail to
produce satisfactory results, remove material in that area down to a level of satisfactory density.
Perform removal, replacement, and rerolling without additional compensation.
3.15 COMPACTION CONTROL OF BACKFILL, FILL, AND EMBANKMENT:
A. Compact to density specified and indicated for various types of material. Control moisture
content of material being placed as specified.
1. For all expansive, low -permeability earth fill zones and for re -worked fill beneath
structures and streets, compact to required density at a moisture content between optimum
and four (4) percentage points wet of optimum (as determined by ASTM D698).
2. For non -expansive earth fill zones and general earth fill zones, compact to the required
density at a moisture content between two (2) percentage points below to four (4)
percentage points above optimum moisture content as determined by ASTM D698.
B. The soil -testing laboratory shall provide inspection during filling or backfilling operations to
ensure compaction of screened gravel or crushed stone and record compaction equipment in use.
C. Moisture control may be required either at the stockpile areas, pits, or on embankment or backfill.
Increase moisture content when material is too dry by sprinkling or other means of wetting
uniformly. Reduce moisture content when material is too wet by using ditches, pumps, drainage
wells, or other devices and by exposing the greatest possible area to sun and air in conjunction
with harrowing, plowing, and spreading of material or any other effective methods.

VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts to
non-resident bidders. The law, that in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder, non-resident
bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are outside of
the state of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an
amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder
would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in the order to obtain a comparable contract in
the state in which the non-resident's principle place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in
Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident bidders in order for your bid to meet
specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractor's to do so will automatically
disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B.
A.
Non-resident vendors in

of the statute is attached.

Non-resident vendors in (give state), or principal place of business, are not
