Except as otherwise advised,the Bidder may use and rely upon complete sets of the PDF or other <br /> electronic/digital version of the Bidding Documents, prepared by the Engineer and provided under <br /> direction of the Engineer,for preparation of its bid. However,Contractor assumes all risks associated with <br /> differences arising from transmission/receipt of electronic/digital versions and reproductions prepared <br /> from those versions and,further,assumes all risks,costs and responsibility associated with use of the <br /> electronic/digital versions to derive information that is not explicitly contained in the paper copies of the <br /> documents and for Bidder's reliance upon such derived information. <br /> C. When using PDF versions of the bidding documents,the Contractor shall prepare its Bid on a printed paper <br /> copy of the Bid Form from the PDF file;submit its bid together with all required submittals;and deliver the <br /> Bid in the manner described in the bidding documents.The printed copy of the Bid Form shall be clearly <br /> legible, printed on 8% inch by 11 inch paper and as closely identical in appearance to the PDF Bid Form as <br /> may be practical.The Owner reserves the right to accept Bid Forms which nominally vary in appearance <br /> from the Hard Copy of the Bid Form, providing that all required information and submittals are included <br /> with the bid. <br /> D. After a Contract is awarded,the Owner may provide or direct the Engineer to provide for the use of the <br /> Contractor such electronic/digital copies of the contract documents or other support documents in native <br /> file formats as may have been previously developed as part of the Project design process. Release of such <br /> information, if available,shall be deemed to be solely for the convenience of the Contractor. Unless the <br /> Contract Documents explicitly identify that such information shall be available to the successful Bidder, <br /> nothing herein shall create an obligation on the part of the Owner or Engineer to provide or create such <br /> information and the Contractor is not entitled to rely on the availability of such information in the <br /> preparation of its Bid or pricing of the work. In all cases,the Contractor shall take appropriate measures to <br /> verify that any electronic/digital data is appropriate and adequate for the Contractor's specific purposes. In <br /> no case shall the Contractor be entitled to extra compensation or adjustment in contract time due to claims <br /> arising from any differences between the Hard Copies of the Contract Documents and electronic/digital <br /> data. <br /> E. Release of all electronic/digital information requested by the Contractor shall be at the sole discretion of <br /> the Owner or Engineer and a separate charge will be made to the Contractor for creation or preparation of <br /> such information. <br /> F. Release of electronic/digital data shall be subject to the herein accompanying form,entitled "REQUEST TO <br /> PROJECT ENGINEER FOR ELECTRONIC/DIGITAL DATA AND CONDITIONS OF USE,"together with such other <br /> limitations as the Owner or Engineer may deem appropriate for the Project. In the event of questions, <br /> conflicts, inconsistencies between any the electronic/digital data,the Hard Copies of the Contract <br /> Documents shall govern unless otherwise directed in writing by the Owner and Engineer. <br /> G. In the event that Owner elects to provide or directs the Engineer to provide to the Contractor any <br /> Contractor-requested electronic/digital data that is not explicitly identified in the Contract Documents as <br /> being available to the successful bidder,the Engineer shall be reimbursed by the Contractor on an hourly <br /> basis(at$120 per hour)for all engineering costs necessary to create or otherwise prepare the data in a <br /> manner deemed appropriate by the Engineer. <br /> ****END OF SECTION**** <br /> Elk River Landfill, Inc. -R16.115896 ELECTRONIC/DIGITAL DOCUMENTS <br /> March 2019 PAGE 00210-2 <br /> ©Bolton&Menk,Inc.2018,All Rights Reserved <br />
