submit a Design Proposal to the Office of Construction for evaluation and
approval of his design solution. No additional material will be accepted
after that date unless specifically requested by the O/C. Evaluations and
notifications of approval or disapproval will be returned to all bidders by
the date given in 771.4.4 above. Since disapproval shall constitute
disqualification of the bidder, it is recommended that all bidders maintain

already in production. Prices are not required. All submitted material will
