GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR VENDORS,

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PREPARATION OF SUBMITTAL

A. Each vendor shall examine the drawings, specifications, schedule, and all instructions. Failure to

do so will be at the vendor’s risk, as the vendor will be held accountable for their submittal.

B. Each vendor shall furnish all information required by the solicitation form or document. Each

vendor shall sign the submittal and print or type his or her name on the fee schedule. The person

signing the submittal should initial erasures or other changes. An authorized agent of the vendor

award of a Gwinnett County contract may not initiate or continue any verbal or written

communications regarding a solicitation with any County officer, elected official, employee, or

other County representative other than the Purchasing Associate named in the solicitation

between the date of the issuance of the solicitation and the date of the final award. The

Purchasing Director will review violations. If determined that such communication has

compromised the competitive process, the offer submitted by the individual, firm, or business

may be disqualified from consideration for award. Solicitations for the sale of real property may

allow for verbal or written communications with the appropriate Gwinnett County representative.

E. Sample contracts (if pertinent) are attached. These do NOT have to be filled out with the submittal

performance of services for all labor or service contract(s) that exceed $2,499.99 (except for

services performed by an individual who is licensed pursuant to Title 26, Title 43, or the State Bar

of Georgia). Failure to provide the Contractor Affidavit and Agreement with your submittal may

result in being deemed non-responsive and automatic rejection.

drawings, specifications, etc. must be requested by the question cutoff deadline stated in the

solicitation for a reply to reach all vendors before the deadline of the solicitation. Any information

given to a prospective vendor concerning a solicitation will be furnished to all prospective vendors as

an addendum to the solicitation if such information is necessary or if the lack of such information

would be prejudicial to uninformed vendors. The written solicitation documents supersede any verbal

or written communications between the parties. Receipt of addenda should be acknowledged in the
