All Proposals shall give the amount of each bid for the service to be 
performed and must be signed by the Bidder. Each Proposal must be 
submitted in a sealed envelope bearing on the outside the name of the 
Bidder, its address, and plainly marked "Proposal for Solid Waste

as irregular any Proposal not prepared and submitted in accordance with 
the provisions hereof and may waive any informalities or reject any and 
all Proposals. Any Proposal may be withdrawn prior to the 
above-scheduled time for the opening of Proposals. Any Proposal received 
after the time and date specified above will not be considered.

A Proposal shall be deemed as having been awarded when formal notice of 
award shall have been mailed by the City to the Bidder. The Bidder to 
whom the Contract shall have been awarded will be required to execute 3 
copies of a Contract furnished by the City. In case of the Bidder's 
refusal or failure to do so within ten (10) days after its receipt of 
formal notice award, Bidder will be considered to have abandoned all 
rights and interests in the award and the work may be re-advertised for 
Proposals as the City may elect or the contract may be awarded to 
another bidder.

Each Proposal shall be accompanied by a letter from a corporate surety 
satisfactory to the City stating that a Performance Bond will be 
furnished by it to the person submitting the Proposal in the event it is 
the successful Bidder. A Moody's or A.M. Best's rating will be required 
for all bonds from any company other than nationally recognized firms. 
Such letter shall be signed by an authorized representative of the 
surety together with a certified and effectively dated copy of the power 
of attorney. Attorneys-in-fact who sign bonds must file with each bond a 
certified and effectively dated copy of their power of attorney. The 
successful Bidder will be required to furnish a performance bond as 
security for the faithful performance of this Contract. Said performance 
bond must be in an amount equal to one (1) years' service. Premium for 
the bonds described above shall be paid by the Contractor.

and other provisions under the proposed Contract shall consist of all 
items contained in a document styled "General Contract Specifications 
for Solid Waste Collection & Disposal Services and Bid Form" for the 
City of Waynesboro, Mississippi, which may be inspected or obtained at 
the City Clerk's Office, 714 Wayne Street, Waynesboro, Mississippi. The 
City of Waynesboro is obtaining proposals for collection of residential,

other equipment to handle collection of garbage and refuse from 
commercial and industrial customers. Commercial and industrial customers 
shall include apartments, restaurants, motels, convenience stores,

Contractor's Representative and to the City: Water Department. The City 
shall provide the Contractor a report form to provide the number of 
residential customers and number of commercial and industrial customers.

reserves the right to determine the competence and responsibility of a 
Bidder from its knowledge of the Bidder's qualifications or from other 
sources. In the event that the City shall desire additional supporting

is adequately prepared to fulfill the Contract.

(e) Any additional information as specified in MS Code Section

The opening and reading of a bid shall not be construed as an acceptance 
of the bidder as a qualified and responsible bidder. WGH reserves the 
right to determine competence and responsibility of a bidder from its 
knowledge of the bidder's qualifications or from other sources. A bid 
shall be deemed as having been awarded when formal notice of award shall 
be delivered to the bidder. The successful bidder shall be required to 
execute a Contract with WGH. In case of the bidder's refusal or 
failure to do so within ten (10) days of receiving said Contract, said 
bidder will be considered to have abandoned all rights and interests in 
the award.

Failure to meet the above instructions may result in a bid being

may be necessary, and will notify all prospective bidders having 
requested bid packets. WGH reserves the right to (1) waive any bid 
defects or informalities;
