·' The undersigned agrees that this Bid Form constitutes a firm offer to the City which cannot be withdrawn for the number of calendar days indicated in the Notice Inviting Bids from and after the bid opening: or until a Contract for the Work is fully executed by the City and a third party. whichever is earlier.''
"/ hereby certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California, that all of the information submitted in connection with this Bid and all of the representations made herein are true and correct."
Due to the missing signatures validating this bid as an offer to the City and omitting the certification that all information is true and correct under penalty of perjury on the submitted Bid Form, this submission does not constitute as a "bid" and should be considered "non-responsive".
Thank you for your careful review and consideration of the matter.
