Installation of water and sewer line will be bid on a <br /> per foot basis. The water and sewer line portion of the project cost will be determined by multiplying the <br /> per foot price times the estimated service line distances provided by the County in Attachment 1. The <br /> other portions of the project, e.g. mobilization, excavation, permits, valves, etc., will be bid as a lump <br /> sum. The per foot price included in the bid will be the price used to pay(or deduct) for any differences in <br /> the estimated distances and the actual service line lengths. <br /> BID DOCUMENT 1623 PAGE 4 OF 4 <br />
