Sec. 210.2  Notice of award.

    The successful bidder will be notified in writing of the acceptance 
of his bid. Under construction contracts, this notice may accompany the 
contract papers which are forwarded for execution. To avoid error, or 
confusing the notice of award with a notice to proceed, the notice of 
award will be substantially in the following format:

    You are hereby notified that your bid dated ________ in the sum of 
$______ covering ________ is accepted. A formal contract will be 
prepared for execution. Acceptable performance and payment bonds (if 
required) must be furnished upon execution of the formal contract. If 
approval of the contract is required by its express terms, the contract 
is not fully executed until such approval is obtained.


Under supply contracts a written award mailed (or otherwise furnished) 
to the successful bidder either on Standard Form 26 or Standard Form 33, 
results in a binding contract without further action by either party.
