Unless specifically amended or deleted by the Purchasing Office, the following General Terms and Conditions apply to this Bid and any resulting
Purchase Order or Contract.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONITIONS:
BIDS. Bids must be received at the Purchasing Office before the date
and time specified for the opening. Bids must be submitted on this
bid form or exact copies and must be typed or clearly printed in ink.
Corrections must be initialed. Bids are to be made less Federal Excise
Tax and no charge for handling unless required by law. Bids will be
made available to the public after the time of award. Bid results will
be given by mail only if requested in writing and accompanied by a
self-addressed, stamped business size envelope.
SPECIFICATIONS. Vendors must submit on items as specified.
Any changes in specifications must be noted on the "Specifications
Exception Form". Vendors shall be notified in writing if any changes
to the specifications are made.
PERSONAL LIABILITY. The responding vendor agrees that in the
preparation of this bid or the execution of any resulting contract or
order, representatives of the City of Laconia shall incur no liability of
any kind.
PROOF OF COMPLIANCE. The responding vendor may be
required to supply proof of compliance with bid/proposal
specifications. When requested, the responding vendor must
immediately supply the Purchasing Office with certified test results
or certificates of compliance. Where none are available, the City of
Laconia may require independent laboratory testing. All costs for
such testing, certified test results or certificates of compliance shall
be the responsibility of the responding vendor.
A WARD. The award will be made to the responsible vendor
submitting a conforming Bid meeting specifications at the lowest cost
unless other criteria are noted in the Request for Bid. Unless
otherwise noted, the award may be made by individual items. If there
is a discrepancy between the unit price and the extension, the unit
price will prevail. When identical low bids are received the award
will be made to the local vendor. If identical low bids are received by
local vendors, or non-local vendors, the award will be determined by
the toss of a coin. Discounts will not be considered in making award
but may be offered on the invoice for earlier payment and will be
applicable on the date of completion of delivery or receipt of invoice,
whichever is later.

agrees to assign all causes of action that it may acquire under the

under this contract if so requested by the City of Laconia.

additional Terms and Conditions by the Purchasing Office are part of
the bid and will apply to any contract awarded to the responding
