Form is a part.
The undersigned, as Bidder, hereby declares that the only person or persons interested in the Bid as
principal(s) is, or are, named herein and that no other person has any interest in the Bid or in the contract to be
entered into; that this Bid is made without connection with any other person, company or parties making a bid;

insurance, taxes, and other such costs both indirect and direct, and labor necessary hereto, and to complete the
proposed project in full and complete accordance with the Project Documents, to the full and entire satisfaction
of the Owner, at the prices listed in the Bid Schedule.
Unit prices and/or lump sums are shown in the Bid Schedule section below. In case of error in
extension, the Unit Price shall govern rather than the Amount. Where Lump Sum Amounts are bid, the amount
for each bid item shall govern rather than the total of any several items.
NOTIFICATION OF PRICE ADJUSTMENTS:
Unit prices offered shall remain firm throughout the term of the contract. Any request for price adjustment, with
proper documented justification, shall be submitted in writing to the City of Sumter two weeks prior to the
requested date of the price adjustment and will only take effect after the awardee has received written
acceptance of price adjustment from the City of Sumter. Any price adjustment invoiced without prior written
approval from the City of Sumter shall not be paid and the invoice returned to the awardee for correction. Price
adjustments shall be made in good faith with awardees and the City. The City of Sumter reserves the right to
reject any price adjustments and cancel the renewal of any contract containing unaccepted increase in prices.
NOTE: Price adjustments must be proven and out of the ordinary for contracts one year or less.
VENDOR AGREEMENTS
City of Sumter reserves the right to obtain clarification or additional information necessary to properly evaluate a
bid. Failure of vendor to respond to a request for additional information or clarification could result in rejection
of that vendor's bid. City of Sumter reserves the right to award proposals received on the basis of individual
items, groups of items, or the entire list of items; to reject any and all proposals in whole or in part, and to waive
any technicalities. In every case, the City reserves the right to make awards deemed to be in the best interest of the
City and to negotiate further the offer determined by the City to be in the best interest of the City. City of Sumter
also reserves the right to make purchases outside of the awarded contracts where it is deemed in the best
interest of the City.
Each responder, by submitting a bid to the City of Sumter a result of this Invitation-to-Bid, agrees to and
acknowledges its acceptance of and agreement with the procedures outlined herein and all terms, conditions and
requirements of the applicable City of Sumter Bid documents. If a vendor cannot agree to these terms, or violates
these procedures, the response will be judged non-responsive and not considered. If the procedures are violated
during the evaluation process or prior to the issuance of a contract by the City of Sumter, the offer of the firm in
question will be void and City of Sumter will procure the goods/services in question from other eligible vendors.
Responses submitted are final and complete offers by the vendor. No additions, corrections, modifications,
changes or interpretations will be allowed. In the event questions arise on what is meant by an offer, the
Procurement Manager will make a determination as to the city’s interpretation of the vendor's offer. If, after
informing the vendor of the city's opinion, disagreement as to scope of the offer is present, the offer will be
declared void.
Unit prices will govern over extended prices. Prices must be stated per unit and extended for the total quantity.
Sales, use, or excise tax, as well as any handling and shipping charges, must be shown as separate items.
