The envelope must be addressed to the City Auditor and must show the name of the bidder and a statement as to its contents.

IB-6.A. Computer-Printed Bid Schedule
The Bidder may substitute a computer-printed spreadsheet bid schedule for the Bid Schedule found in the Proposal. The substitute schedule shall be attached to the last page of the Bid Schedule in the Bidders Proposal. The following information shall appear on top of each page of the computer-printed bid schedule:
- Improvement District Number or Project Number
- Type, Description of Work (i.e., Sanitary Sewer, Water Main, Storm Sewer & Incidentals)
- Page Number
- Bidder's Name and Address
The substitute bid schedule shall be printed on sheets of approximately the same size as the Bid Schedule in the Proposal, and the words and numerals shall be clear and legible. Each page shall be arranged, numbered, and contain the same bid items as the corresponding Bid Schedule in the Proposal. Column headings shall be the same as those in the City-furnished Bid Schedule.
Each bid item shall be separated from the bid items above and below it by one or more blank spaces. Solid lines for separating columns and items are not required, but dashed lines may be placed either vertically or horizontally. The total sum of the bid shall be entered at the bottom of the last page of the computer-printed schedule, and entered in ink in the Total Sum Bid block on the last page of the City's Bid Schedule. The Bidder, or authorized representative, shall sign the substitute bid schedule in ink on the last page of the computer printout. The signer's name and title shall be printed below or beside the signature. The person signing the schedule above shall sign and complete the Affidavit in the Bidders Proposal, as regularly required. In case of discrepancies between item descriptions or quantities in the Bid Schedule in the Proposal and those in the computer-printed bid schedule, the Bid Schedule in the Proposal will govern.
