Print copies of the <br />Contract Documents will not be provided to bidders by the ENGINEER. <br />If re-bidding of the project is necessary due to an insufficient number of bidders, a bid irregularity, <br />or at the desire of the OWNER and through no fault of the ENGINEER, ENGINEER may request <br />additional compensation for handling the re-bid. <br />ENGINEER will assist the OWNER in evaluating the bids by preparing bid tabulations, reviewing <br />the bids for accuracy and completeness, reviewing the required document qualification <br />information contained in the contract documents, and determining the acceptability of contractors, <br />suppliers, and substitute equipment. <br />Within 10 business days of the OWNER providing bid documents to ENGINEER, ENGINEER will <br />make a recommendation to the OWNER for the best-qualified, responsive, responsible bidder to <br />award the contract. <br />If additional work is necessitated by re-evaluation of the bids/bidders or by disqualification of the <br />low bidder(s), additional fees may be requested. <br />Task 5 – Construction Administration <br />ENGINEER, through its subconsultant, will provide the following construction administration <br />services: <br />1.
