errors have been made, whether required sureties have been furnished, whether the documents have

been properly signed, and whether the bids are generally in order.

If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the

discrepancy between the total bid amount and the sum of total costs, the latter shall prevail and the

total bid amount will be corrected accordingly. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the

amount advantageous to the Owner will prevail. If the Bidder does not accept the correction of the

errors as above, his Bid will be rejected and the amount of Bid Security will be forfeited. The Bidder

subsequently be made responsive by the Bidder by correction of non-conformity.
