INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS
Securing Documents
Plans, Specifications and other contract documents will be available for examination without charge
and copies may be secured in accordance with the “Notice Inviting Bids.”
Examination of Plans, Specifications and Site of Work
The bidder is required to examine the site of work, the Proposal, the Plans and the Specifications,
and Special Provisions, if any, very carefully. He shall satisfy himself as to the character, quality
and quantities of the work to be performed, the materials to be furnished and the requirements of the
Contract Documents. The plans for the work show conditions as they are believed to exist, but it is
not to be inferred that all the conditions as shown thereon are actually existent, nor shall the City of
San Juan Capistrano or any of its officers or agents be liable for any loss sustained by the contractor
as a result of any variance between conditions shown on the plans and actual conditions revealed
during examination or progress of the work. The submission of a proposal shall be prima facie
evidence that the bidder has made such an examination.
Interpretation of Drawings and Documents
If any bidder should find discrepancies in, or omissions from the drawings, specifications or other
proposed contract documents, or if he should be in doubt as to the true meaning of any part thereof,
he shall at once make a written request to the Engineer for correction, clarification or interpretation
of the point or points in question. The person submitting such a request shall be responsible for its
prompt delivery.
In the event that the Engineer receives such a request and it should be found that certain essential
information is not clearly and fully set forth, or if the Engineer discovers errors, omissions, or points
requiring clarification in the drawings or documents, a written addendum will be mailed to each
person to whom a set of contract documents has been delivered. The City of San Juan Capistrano
will not be responsible for any instructions, explanations or interpretations of the documents
presented to bidders in any manner other than written addendum.
Addenda or Bulletins
The effect of all addenda to the contract documents shall be considered in the bid and said addenda
shall be made a part of the contract documents and shall be returned with them. Before submitting
his bid, each bidder shall inform himself as to whether or not any such addenda have been issued,
and failure to cover in his bid any such addenda issued may render his bid invalid and result in its
rejection.
Disqualification of Bidders
No person, firm or corporation shall be allowed to make, file or be interested in more than one bid
for the same work unless alternate bids are called for. A person, firm or corporation who has
submitted a sub-proposal to a bidder, or who has quoted prices on materials to a bidder, is not hereby
disqualified from submitting a bid in his own behalf.

licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer to mark or reference a point on a property or land
line shall be permanently and visibly marked or tagged with the certificate number of the surveyor or
civil engineer setting it, each number to be preceded by the letters “L.S.” or “R.C.E.,” respectively,
as the case may be or, if the monument is set by a public agency, it shall be marked with the name of
SP-7
the agency and the political subdivision it serves.
