All bids must be sealed, clearly marked with the bid number, and submitted in physical form to the City’s Procurement Division; electronic submissions are not authorized. Inspection and final acceptance will be at the project site under City supervision, with strict requirements that all equipment and materials be new, and all work conform to local regulations, federal laws, and contract documents.
