Bid Validity. Bids shall remain valid for a period of not less than one eighty (180) days after the deadline date for bid submission specified in Bid Data Sheet. A bid valid for a shorter period shall be rejected by the Employer as non-responsive. In exceptional circumstances, prior to expiry of the original time limit, the Employer may request that the bidders may extend the period of validity for a specified additional period. The request and the bidders’ responses shall be made in writing or by cable. A bidder may refuse the request without forfeiting his Bid Security. A bidder agreeing to the request will not be required or permitted to modify his bid, but will be required to extend the validity of his bid security for a period of the extension.
