liquidated damages if such bid is accepted and the bidder fails to take up
and pay for the bonds. No interest shall be allowed on the good faith
checks, and checks of unsuccessful bidders will be promptly returned to
each bidder's representative or by registered mail..
Bids shall be conditioned upon the unqualified opinion of Miller,
