responsive, responsible bidder according to prices listed from their submitted bid
schedule. Exceptions to this policy will be made for inclement weather
preventing a timely response by the Contractor (a one-day extension for each
day of bad weather will be given), or a previous understanding between the

concrete replacement. Asphalt next to new crosspans and aprons shall be
sawcut a minimum of 30 inches from the new concrete, and asphalt next to new
curb and gutter shall be sawcut a minimum of 24 inches from the new concrete
so that the patching crew can provide a clean, effective patch. Patching limits
shall be determined by the City Engineer, or his representative, and shall meet
current City of Fort Collins patching standards for limits and depth. The
Contractor shall patch the asphalt before removing the barricades and within
seven (7) days of the placement of the concrete curb and gutter. If cold weather
does not allow for a hot mix asphalt patch, the Contractor shall place a temporary
asphalt patch and maintain the patch until a hot mix patch can be installed.
