It is the sole responsibility of the Bidder to ensure timely receipt of its Bid by the Owner, at the place designated for opening of bids. The Owner assumes no responsibility whatsoever in connection with any defects arising out of the issuance of the Bidding Documents or its failure to receive Bids at the time and place required and those which may arise from delay for any reason in obtaining the Bidding Documents or in the submission of a Bid, including, but not limited to, delays or failures of receipt caused by traffic delay, errors by messengers, mis-labeling, mis-direction from any source including by the Owner's personnel, mis-delivery by common carrier, or any other reason.
