More Than One Bid A person, firm or corporation who has quoted prices to a bidder is not hereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or quoting prices to other bidders. 10.

Execution of Contract The contract agreement(s) shall be executed by the successful bidder(s) and returned to the Town, together with the evidence of insurance, 100% Payment and Performance Bond within ten (10) working days following award of the contract(s).
