2. EXPLANATIONS.

2.1 Any explanation desired by a bidder regarding the meaning or interpretation of these Instructions or any other bid documents must be requested in writing to the CCRTA's Procurement Department with sufficient time allowed for a reply to reach bidders before the submission of their bids. 2.2 Oral explanations or instructions will not be binding. Any information given to a prospective bidder concerning an invitation will be furnished to all prospective bidders as an amendment to the invitation if such information is necessary to bidders in submitting bids on the invitation or if the lack of such information would be prejudicial to uninformed bidders. 2.3 All communications regarding this solicitation - written, faxed, or e-mailed - need to be made directly to the Procurement Department.
