12. Bidders should first propose for service strictly ac-
pnrdine to the advertisement, and then if they desire.
separatedly for different service ; and if the rejruiar bid
be the lowest offered Tor the advertised service, tneotn
er propositions may be considered. . .
IX There should be but one route bid for In a propo-
sal. . .. . .. v
14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the name
and residence ot thebidder, (that is his usual post office
address.) and these of each member of a firm, where a
oompan offers, should be distinctly stated; alsothemode
of conveyance if ahigher mode than horseback be intend
ed. The word3 "with due celerity, certainty, and secu
rity," inserted to indicate the mode of conveyance, will
constitute a itar bid. Whea a star bid -s intended, no
specific conveyance must bo named. But lu case two
modes of conveyance, are named at the sr me compensa
tion, the highest or best for the service wal be taken.
IS. Bidders are requested to use as far as practicable,
the printed form of proposal furnished by the depart
ment, to write out in full the sum of their bids, and to
retain copies of tnem.
Altered bids- should not be submitted nr should bids
once submitted be withdrawn. ,..-.,.;.
Each bid must be guaranteed by two responsible per
sons.
General guarantees cannot be admitted. The bid and
guarantee should be signed plainly with, the full name of
each person. -
The department reserves the right 4o .reject any bid
which may be deemed extravagant; and JUsw to disre
gard the bids of failing contractors and bidders. -
16. The bid should be sealed, superscribed "Mail Pro
posals, State of," addressed Second Assistant
Postmaster General, Contract office, and sent by mail,
not by or to an agent; and posmasters will not enclose
proposals (or letters of any kind) in their quarterly re
turns.
17. The contracts s re to be executed and returned to
the department by or before the 1st day of August, 1853
but the service must be commenced on the first Jury pre
ceding, or the mail day next alter that date, whether the
contracts be executed or not. Xo proposition to trans
fer v 11 be considered unti 1 the contracts are executed
and received at the department; and then no transfer
will be allowed, unless good and sufficient reasons there
for are given, to be determined by the department. Iu
all cases, the retiring contractor will be required to be
come one of the sureties on the new contract.
IS. Postmasters at offices on or near railroads, but more
than eighty rods from a station! will immediately after
the 31st of March next, report their exact distance
from the nearest station, and bow they are otherwise
supplied with the mail to enable the Postmaster General
to direct a mail-mcEsengcr supply from the first of July
next.
19. Section 13 Of an act of Congress approved March 3,
1S15, provides that contracts for the transportation of the
mails shall be let in every case to the lowest bidder ten
dering sufficient guarantees for the faithful performance,
without other reference to the mode uf such transporta
tion than may be necessary to provide for the due celerity,
certainty and security or such transpotation. Under this
law a new description of bids have been received. They
do not specify a mode of conveyance, but engage to take
the entire mail each trip with certainty, celerity and se
curity, using the terms of the law. These bids are styl
ed from the manner in which they are designated on the
books of the department, star bids, and they will be con
strued as providing for the couveyance of the entire mail,
however large, and whatever may be the mode necessary
to insure its celerity, certainty and security.
In all cases where the lowest grade of service is be
lieved to be sufficient, the lowest bid will be: accepted in
preference to a star or specific bid. " - ,.
When the lowest bid is not a star bid, and specifies eith
er no mode or an inadquate mode of conveyance, it will
not be accepted, but set aside for a specific bid proposing
the necessary service.
When the bid does not specify a mode of conveyance;
also when it proposes to carry "according to the adver
tisement," but without such specification, it will bo con
sidered as a proposal for horseback service
20. A modification of a bid in any of its esseetial terms
is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be received, so as
to interfere with a regular competition, after the last
hour set for receiving bids.
21. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the
sufficiency of guarantors, . or sureties, without knowing
that they are persons of sufficient responsibility ; and all
bidders, gnrantors, and sureties are distinctly notified
that on a failure to enter into or perform the contracts
for the service proposed for in the accepted bids, their le
gal liabilities will be enforced against tham. ' -
22. Present contractors, and persons known at the de
partment must equally with others, procuie guarantors
and certificates of their sufflc ency, substantially in the
forms above prescribed. The certificates of sufficiency
must be signed by a postmaster or by a jud.ire of a court of
record. A. V. UKOWN.
