Therefore, HCIA strongly recommends that all potential respondents to the Bid for Solid Waste Disposal Services make arrangement to deliver their bids by the end of business on Monday, December 16th to assure that they are received prior to the time and date mentioned above. HCIA cannot reschedule the bid receipt date due to requirements of the Local Public Contracts Law and will not be responsible for a potential respondent’s inability to deliver its bid to HCIA on the morning on December 17th. No bids received after 11:00 a.m. on December 17th regardless of the reason for the delayed delivery can be accepted. Bids received after 11:00 a.m. will be returned unopened to the bidder.
