separate envelopes properly identified) shall be rejected. The Purchasing Department assumes no
responsibility for late bid responses that occur due to the U.S. Postal Service or private courier
service.

result in removal from active bidders list.
The attached specifications are being provided to potential bidders as guidelines that describe the

Non Appropriation of Funds: Continuation of any agreement between the City of Decatur and a
bidder beyond a fiscal year is contingent upon continued legislative appropriation of funds for the
purpose of this bid and any resulting agreement. Non availability of funds at any time shall cause
any agreement to become void and unenforceable and no liquidated damages shall accrue to the City
as a result. The City will not incur liability beyond the payment of accrued agreement payment.
Descriptive Literature: Reference to brand names and numbers is not restrictive, unless otherwise
specified. Bids on equivalent items meeting the standards of quality indicated will be considered,
providing the bid clearly describes the item offered and indicates how it differs from the referenced
brands. Descriptive literature on any supplemental information necessary for comparison purposes
shall be submitted with the bid or the Purchasing Agent may reject the bid for that item. Reference
to literature submitted with a previous bid, or on file with the Purchasing Department will not
satisfy this requirement.
