The successful bidder agrees:
1.17.1 In the hiring of any employee(s) for the manufacture of supplies, performance of work, or any other activity
required under any contract with the Borough, the successful bidder, or any subcontractor person acting
on behalf of the successful bidder, shall not discriminate by or on the basis of actual or perceived race,
4

color, familial status, religious creed, ancestry, handicap or disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression, national origin, the use of a guide or support animal because of the blindness,
deafness or physical handicap of the user or because the user is a handler or trainer of support or guide
animal or act in violation of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) and applicable federal laws,
against any citizen of this Commonwealth who is qualified and available to perform the work to which the
employment relates.
1.17.2 The successful bidder or any person on their behalf shall not in any manner discriminate by reason of
actual or perceived race, color, familial status, religious creed, ancestry, handicap or disability, age, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, the use of a guide or support animal
because of the blindness, deafness or physical handicap of the user or because the user is a handler or
trainer of support or guide animal or in violation of the PHRA and applicable federal laws, against or
intimidate any of its employees.
1.17.3 The successful bidder shall establish and maintain a written nondiscrimination and sexual harassment
policy and shall inform their employees in writing of the policy. The policy must contain a provision that
sexual harassment will not be tolerated and employees who practice it will be disciplined. Posting this
Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause conspicuously in easily accessible and well-lighted places
customarily frequented by employees and at or near where the services are performed shall satisfy this
requirement for employees with an established work site.

religious creed, ancestry, handicap or disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
national origin, the use of a guide or support animal because of the blindness, deafness or physical handicap

work to which the awarded contract relates.
1.17.5 The successful bidder represents that it is presently in compliance with and will maintain compliance with
all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to nondiscrimination and sexual
harassment.
1.17.6 The successful bidder and any of the bidder's subcontractors shall include the provisions of this
nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause in every agreement, contract or subcontract so that such
provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor.
1.17.7 The successful bidder and the bidder's subcontractor's obligations pursuant to these provisions are ongoing
from and after the effective date of any contract with the Borough. Accordingly, the successful bidder and
each of its subcontractors shall have an obligation to inform the Borough if, at any time during the term of
the contract with the Borough, it becomes aware of any actions or occurrences that would result in violation
of these provisions.
1.17.8 The Borough may terminate any contract it has with the successful bidder and all money due or to become
due under the contract may be forfeited for a violation of the terms and conditions of this
Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause.
1.18 Conflict of Interest Notice and Responsibilities. A conflict of interest may take various forms but exists if a
significant financial interest or other opportunities for tangible personal benefit may exert a substantial improper
influence upon an employee, contractor or professional. A conflict of interest may exist when there is a divergence
between private interests of an employee, contractor or professional and his, her or its obligation to the Borough
such that: (i) a reasonable and independent observer might rationally question whether the employee's professional
responsibility might be influenced by considerations of gain or financial interest for either the employee, contractor
or professional or their family or for other parties; or (ii) a reasonable and independent observer might rationally
conclude that the conflict of interest undermines the integrity of any business of the Borough. A conflict of interest
5

encompasses not only situations that are in fact improper, but also situations where a reasonable and independent
observer might rationally observe the appearance of impropriety. This includes any potential conflicts of interest
that are yet unrealized or that may be perceived by others to be conflicts of interest. For purposes of this notice,
the family of any employee, contractor or professional shall include his or her spouse or companion, his or her
siblings and their spouses or companions and his or her descendants and their spouses or companions. All bidders
must provide with the bid a list of current or potential conflicts of interest with respect to proving goods
and/or services to the Borough of Carlisle as contemplated by this project. The successful bidder shall provide
notice to the Borough of any actual or potential conflicts of interest that exist or arise in the course of providing
goods and/or services to the Borough of Carlisle.
1.19 The Borough reserves the right to revise or amend any specifications prior to the date scheduled for bid opening.
In the event plans and/or specifications are revised or amended, such revisions or amendments will be provided by
use of an addendum, which will be provided to all prospective bidders.
1.20 The successful bidder shall supervise and direct the work efficiently and with its best skill and attention. The bidder
shall be solely responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of work and shall be
responsible to see that the finished work complies with the Contract Documents and applicable permits as required.
1.21 The successful bidder shall provide only competent, suitably trained and qualified personnel to perform the work
as required by the Contract Documents and shall furnish all materials, equipment, labor, transportation, machinery,
tools, fuel, power, sanitary facilities and all other facilities and incidentals necessary for the execution, testing,
initial operation and completion of the work.
1.22 The successful bidder shall be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of its subcontractors and of persons and
organizations directly or indirectly employed by them. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create any
contractual relationship between the Borough and any Borough agent or employee and any subcontractor or other
person or organization having a direct contract with the successful bidder, nor shall it create any obligation on the
part of the Borough or any Borough agent or employee to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due any
subcontractor or any person or organization working for the successful bidder. All subcontractors will be subject
to the approval by the Borough. There shall be no substitution of subcontractors without prior approval and
knowledge of the Borough once a subcontractor list is approved.
1.23 The successful bidder shall obtain and pay for all construction permits and licenses which are applicable to the
project at the time the bid is submitted. It is the successful bidder's responsibility to abide by all permit conditions
affecting work and the work of any subcontractors.

programs in connection with the delivery and shall comply with all requirements and regulations of OSHA, State,
and local governments pertaining to such work. The successful bidder shall be responsible for erecting any
necessary signage and/or barriers to keep others from entering any work areas, subject to coordination with the
Borough.
1.25 The successful bidder shall, as a condition of award of the contract, provide evidence of the following insurance
coverage, which insurance coverage shall be maintained during the course of work on the project:
1.25.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance with coverage for premises/operations, products/completed
operations, contractual liability, and personal/advertising injury with combined single limits of not less
than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the

primary over any insurance maintained by the Borough. The Certificate of Insurance shall provide that no
material alteration or cancellation, including expiration and non-renewal, shall be effective until thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice by the Borough. Anything contained in the Bidding or Contract
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the liabilities of the successful bidder under the Bidding or
Contract Documents shall survive and not be terminated, reduced or otherwise limited by any expiration
or termination of insurance coverage. Neither approval nor failure to disapprove insurance furnished by
the successful bidder shall relieve the successful bidder from responsibility to provide insurance, as
required by the Bidding Documents.
The coverage under the successful bidder's policy or policies shall be primary and non-contributory with
respect to coverage carried by the Borough of Carlisle. A waiver of subrogation shall apply to all policies
provided by the successful bidder.

applicable: Act of Mach 23, 1978, (P.L. 6, No. 3) known as the "Steel Procurement Act"; Act of October 28, 1983

Borough. Any increase in the bidder's cost of materials and supplies over the base bid shall be verified by proper
documents furnished to the Borough which shall include proof of price to the bidder from the bidder's source of
materials and supplies. The Borough must be notified in writing of any such increase at least thirty (30) days prior
to the effective date of any increase. All such price increases may result in the cancellation of the contract at the
option of the Borough. Materials to be subject to the escalation clause must be designated on the "Schedule of
Quantities, Prices, and Total Bid". The escalation clause only takes effect sixty (60) days after bid award. This bid
will be awarded based on the per unit bid price for each chemical. For the purpose of determining the lowest
responsible bidder for each chemical, the lowest per unit bid price for each chemical will prevail regardless of any
escalator clause.

vendor within thirty (30) days after receipt of the chemical. In this event, the vendor shall remove the product from
the premises and replace it with a like amount of satisfactory chemical. Failure to do so will result in a claim against
the performance security and/or forfeiture of the contract to the next higher bidder of chemical specified.
2.6 PENALTY - All chemicals for this contract period will be subject to rigorous testing and quality control procedures
by the Borough staff, and bidders will be subject to applicable penalties described herein and elsewhere if chemicals
do not conform to specifications.
It shall be the responsibility of the bidder to provide samples taken on site, from the delivered chemicals so the
Borough staff can conduct appropriate quality control analyses.
2.7 IDENTICAL LOW BID - If identical low bids are received, then the contract will be awarded to the bidder located
nearest to the Carlisle Water Treatment Plant, based on average delivery time for the chemical.

2.8 QUANTITIES ESTIMATED - All quantities quoted in these specifications are estimates only, based, however,
on the best available information. The Borough reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities as actual
