The bidder’s presentations and Q&A will be done in the afternoon of September 11 and the detail of the time will be soon announced only to the bidders who bid within the limit of the budget after we open the bids.

Similarly, when the possibility exists that the proposed “worker hours” and “total labor costs” stated by the bidder are inadequate, the validity of the unit labor price shall be investigated. |
