250 THE LAW AFFECTING ENGINEERS 



If there is old material on the site which should be removed, it may be necessary 

 to insert a special clause providing for such removal. For an example of such 

 a clause, see Chap. VII., 3, ante.} 



6. Tenderer's specification. The tenderer is required to fill in the 

 details of his tender in the spaces provided for the purpose at the end of 

 each section of the specification. Such statement will be accepted in lieu 

 of a detailed specification, but the tenderer is at liberty to add any details 

 that he may deem desirable, and in the event of his doing so shall print 

 or type the same and annex the added matter to the specification returned 

 by him, but such additional details shall not be binding on the purchasers 

 unless they are approved by them and incorporated in the contract. 



7. Drawings to accompany tender. The tenderer must submit with his 

 tender the drawings enumerated in the section for which he is tendering, 

 drawn to as large a scale as is convenient. 



Detailed drawings are not required to be submitted with the tender ; 

 but if the tenderer wishes to call special attention to any detail of con- 

 struction, he may submit a drawing of the same with his tender. All 

 drawings and samples submitted by unsuccessful tenderers shall be 

 returned within fourteen days of the date of the adjudication of the 

 purchasers upon the tenders. 



8. Tenders. The copy of the specification herewith supplied to each 

 tenderer must be filled up, returned intact, together with the general con-

 which may be incurred by any tenderer in the preparation of his tender, 

 except as provided by Condition 10. 



The sum deposited by the tenderer on application for the specification 

 will be refunded to him within fourteen days of the date of the adjudica- 

 tion upon the tenders, unless in any case the purchasers on the advice of 

 the engineer shall determine that the tender was not made in good faith, 

 in which case the deposit shall be forfeited. Extra copies of the specifica- 

 tion and general conditions may be supplied by the engineer to tenderers 

 on payment of [five shillings'] per set, and extra copies of the drawings at 

 a reasonable price. The engineer shall decide whether a tenderer should 

 or should not be so supplied. 



[NOTE. It is advisable that the advertisement inviting tenders should 

 notify a suitable place where the general conditions, specification and draw-

 and apparatus required under each section as luill enable contracting firms to
