The goal of this solicitation is to secure a source to provide Landscape Maintenance for the Northside
Wastewater Treatment Plant (NSWWTP) for the Water and Sewer Department of the City of Tulsa.
2. Term of Contract
The City intends to award a one-year annual contract. The City may offer the Seller the opportunity
for additional one-year terms. The City also reserves the right to make multiple or partial awards. To
do business with the City, You must agree to the terms and conditions of the City’s standard
Purchase Agreement, indicated by Your Authorized Agent’s signature on the Purchase Agreement.
Capitalized terms used in this IFB and not defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the

The entire Invitation for Bid (IFB), including any additional information submitted by Bidder and

Authorized Agent
Several parts of the Bid (Affidavits, Purchase Agreement) must be signed by an “Authorized
Agent.” An Authorized Agent means an agent who is legally authorized to bind the Seller under the
law of the state in which the Seller is legally organized. For instance, under Oklahoma law, the
Authorized Agent for each of the following types of entities is as stated below:
o Corporations – the president, board chair or board vice chair (or the vice president if the corporation
was formed in Oklahoma) can sign; others can sign if they have and provide the City with (i) a corporate
resolution giving them authority to bind the Seller, and (ii) a recent certificate of secretary indicating
the authority is still valid and was in full force and effect on the date of the signature. (See IFB Section
VI for sample of a Certificate of Secretary)
o General Partnerships – any partner can sign to bind all partners.
o Limited Partnerships – the general partner must sign.
o Individuals – no additional authorization is required, but signatures must be witnessed and notarized.
o Sole Proprietorship – the owner can sign. Any other person can sign if s/he provides a recent Power
of Attorney, signed by the owner, authorizing him/her to bind the sole proprietorship.
o Limited Liability Company (LLC) – any manager of the LLC elected by the members of the LLC, or
any member signing as manager of the LLC. All other signers will need a Consent of Members signed
by all the Members of the LLC authorizing their signature on or up to 30 days before the date of their
signature. (See Section VI for sample of a Consent of Members)
Entities organized in states other than Oklahoma must follow the law of the state in which they are
organized.
