Each bidder must familiarize himself fully with the conditions relating to the construction of the
project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not relieve a successful bidder
of his obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions of his
contract. Insofar as possible the Contractor, in carrying out his work, must employ such methods
or means as will not cause any interruption of or interference with the work of any other
Contractor. Questions can be directed to Patrick Ellis, DPW Superintendent at 508-896-3212 or
pellis@brewster-ma.gov.
No award will be made to any bidder who cannot satisfy the Owner that he has sufficient ability
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 bidder qualifications, including evidence of past
performance in similar projects, and bid price. The contract will be awarded to the bidder
deemed by the awarding authority to be the lowest responsible and eligible bidder.
The Town reserves the right to waive any informalities, to accept or reject, in whole or in part
any or all bids, or take whatever other action may be deemed to be in the best interest of the
Town.
The Owner may also reject bids which in its sole judgment are either incomplete, conditional,
obscure or not responsive or which contain additions not called for, erasures not properly
initialed, alterations, or similar irregularities.
