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 contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the box in Section B. A. Non-resident vendors in (give state), our principal place of business, are required to be percent lower than resident bidders by state law.

Where the term "or equal", or "or approved equal" is used, it is understood that if a material, product, or piece of equipment bearing the name so used is furnished, it will be approvable, as the particular trade name was used for the purpose � of establishing a standard of �uality acceptable to the City: If a product of any other name is proposed for use, the Engineer's approval thereof must be obtained before the proposed substitute is procured b�r the Contractor. Where the term "or equal", or "or approved equal" is not D used in the specifications, this does not necessarily exclude alternative items or material or equipment which may accomplish the intended purpose. However, the Contractor sMall have the full responsibility of proving that the proposed substitution is, in fact, equal, and the Engineer, as � the representative of the City, shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of substitutions.

Concrete shall be allowed to � cure for seven days or test cylinders reach 3000 psi before removal of barricades. D. EXECUTION: Included in this item will be the removal of the existing reinforced concrete pavement. The � existing pavement shall be sawed so as to maintain an even, straight pavement cut. The existing reinforcing steel at sawed line and construction joints shall be lapped 18 inches with the � new reinforced concrete pavement. The existing steel shall be thoroughly cleaned before lapping. •J !J � J J � i The following work method will be perFormed on each utility cut: � 1. Place safety signs, barricades and/or other warning devices where necessary and as required. 2. Replace pavement to nearest joint. � 3. Mark out the damaged area with keel, chalk line or paint being sure to include all areas requiring repair. � 4. Saw cut along marked lines a minimum of two (2) inches deep. 5. Remove existing concrete. 6. Form joints and place reinforcing steel and Dowel Bars (as required) according to standard specifications. 7. Place and finish concrete. 8. .Clean up job site, removing all debris. � 1 � 9.
