Deposit checks shall be made payable to WTA Architects. The entire amount of the deposit for the bidding documents will be returned to each bidder who submits a bona-fide proposal and who return the documents, in good condition within ten days after opening of proposals. A return of only $10.00 per set will be made to those bidders who fail to submit a bona-fide proposal.

This purchase amount will not be refunded.

Bid documents will be mailed to contractors upon written request and prepayment (by check separate from the deposit check specified above) of $20.00 to cover cost of wrapping, handling and mailing. This is for the contractor's convenience only, and the cost of this service is without refund.
