If you are representing the owner/engineer, and during the bidding phase of a project, a bidder telephones your office calling attention to what the bidder believes to be an error, and makes a request for clarification or correction, you should: . A. check out the reported error while still on the telephone, give the caller the corrected data orally, then send an addenda to everyone e1se .
B. deny that an error exists and tell the caller to bid the work as it was specified and make his or her own interpretations.
C. take all of the information from the caller, then advise him or her to bid the job as it was originally specified unless an addenda is issued, and that if an error was in fact discovered, it will be corrected by addenda which will be mailed to all bidders.
D. try to be as helpful as possible by checking with the original designer; then, if an error is noted, give the caller the correct information, but do not go out of your way to inform others unless they call with the same question.
