“INSTRUCTIONS AND CONDITIONS”
(These are general instructions and conditions that accompany each bid package. If more
specific instructions are given in the individual bid package, those instructions should prevail.)
1. PREPARATION OF BIDS
A. All prices and bids must be typed or neatly handwritten. No erasures are permitted. Errors
may be crossed out and corrections typed adjacent and must be initialed in ink by the person
signing the bid.
B. Brand names and numbers when given in bids are for reference to establish a quality standard
unless “no substitution” is stated in the specifications. Bids on equal items will be considered,
provided the bid clearly describes the article offered and it is equal in quality. Specifications
used are intended to be open and nonrestrictive. When no reference or change is made on
proposal by bidder, it is understood that the specific item named on the proposal shall be
furnished by the bidder. If bidding on other than the make, model, brand or number shown,
and offered as an equal, complete technical information, specifications, manufacturer’s name,
catalog reference and a catalog cut must be attached to the proposal letter. Failure to include
the supportive information will result in the item automatically being rejected. The Board,
through its Purchasing Agent, shall be the sole judge in making determination as to the quality.
All decisions shall be final.
C. Quote on each item separately. All or nothing bids, items or groups based on other items or
other bids, will not be considered. Prices must be stated in units specified in the bid in order
to be considered.
D. Time of delivery is part of the bid and must be adhered to. If it is impossible to meet the
delivery specified in the bid, bidder shall state the best delivery possible in the space provided
on the Bid Request. Time shall be stated in days and days shall mean “calendar days”.
E. All bids must be signed by a responsible officer or employee. The firm name and telephone
number must be shown. Obligations assumed by such signature must be fulfilled.
F. Telephone/fax bids in lieu of this form will not be accepted.
