It is the Town's intent to accept alternates (if any are accepted) in the order in which they are listed in the Bid forms, BUT the Town many accept them in any order or combination. Bids will be compared on the basis of prices in addition to other factors such as the ability to provide consistent hauling services in a timely manner, experience, financial responsibility and capability of the Bidder, current or previous customer feedback, and other factors in determining which proposal is deemed to be in the best interests of the Town.

Bidders are expected to examine the Invitation to Bid, General Provisions, Special Provisions, and the Bid Form carefully as of which shall constitute the Contract Documents.
