(a) All bids shall be properly signed in ink and executed by an authorized official.

(b) Any correction of an entry made on any of the bid forms shall be initialed by the party signing the bid. If a bidder discovers that he or she has made an error in submitting his or her bid, then he or she may correct the bid by letter, telegram or fax, provided that all corrections are in and complete before the time of the bid opening. No alterations or corrections shall be allowed after bids are opened.

(c) Bidders may withdraw, or withdraw and resubmit, bids at any time prior to the public opening, but not thereafter without the written consent of ACCCA (which consent may be granted or withheld at ACCCA's sole discretion). In exercising the discretion referred to in the preceding sentence, ACCCA shall evaluate such factors as: the effect consent or refusal to consent will have on the bidder making the request and on the other bidders; the effect of same on the integrity and fairness of the bidding process; and the other factors set forth in N.J.A.C. 12A:130-1.2(b). Bids may be withdrawn on written request received by ACCCA prior to the public opening and signed by a duly authorized representative of the bidding firm. Bids so withdrawn shall be returned unopened.

(d) In case of inconsistencies or error in prices, extensions and/or totals, ACCCA shall have sole discretion to make determinations with regard to same.

(e) Unless contrary to the nature of the procurement, or unless otherwise instructed, bidders shall be permitted to submit partial bids. ACCCA reserves the right to accept any item or group of items of any bid.
