or means as will not cause any interruption of or interference with the work of any other Contractor.

and experience in this class of work and sufficient capital and plant to enable him to prosecute
and complete the work successfully within the time named. The Owner's decision or judgment
on these matters will be final, conclusive, and binding. The Owner may make such investigations
as it deems necessary, and the bidder shall furnish to the Owner, under oath if so required, all
such information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request.
Selection of the contractor will be based upon qualifications, including evidence of past
performance in similar projects, and price. The contract will be awarded to the bidder deemed
