1.3 Bidders shall furnish information required by the solicitation in the form requested. The University
reserves the right to reject bids with incomplete information or which are presented on a different
form.
1.4 All bids must be legible. A legally authorized company representative shall sign all bids in the
appropriate location. Erasures or other changes must be initialed by the person signing the bid.
Signature on a bid certifies that the bidder has read and fully understands all bid specifications and

1.5 Bid prices shall be entered in spaces provided on the bid form. All unit prices and mathematical
extensions and totals shall be indicated where required. In cases of errors in extensions or totals the
unit price will govern.
1.6 Should any potential bidder doubt the true meaning of any part of the solicitation, a written request
for an interpretation may be submitted to the University. Requests for such interpretation shall be
made in writing to the appropriate Contracting Officer identified in the solicitation. Every
interpretation made shall be in the form of an "addendum" to the solicitation sent as promptly as is
practicable to all prospective bidders to whom the solicitation has been issued. Failure by the
University to send or any potential bidder to receive such interpretation(s) shall not relieve any
bidder from any obligations under the bid solicitation or the bidder's response. Any interpretations,
corrections or changes to the solicitation made in any other manner, including oral explanations and
instructions, are not binding upon the University.
1.7 Bidders or potential bidders are required to coordinate all discussions concerning solicitations
through the appropriate Contracting Officer or other purchasing official within the University of
Kentucky Procurement Services. Bidders or potential bidders are not authorized to communicate
with any University administrator, faculty, staff, or Board of Trustees member concerning this
solicitation. Failure to comply with this requirement is grounds for the bidder's disqualification.
1.8 Unless otherwise stipulated in a bidder's response, the bidder's offer is in strict accordance with
the University's specifications and terms and conditions of the Invitation for Bids. Any deviations
must be fully itemized in detail. Any deviations from the requirements of this solicitation are at
bidder's risk and the University may determine the bid to be non-responsive.

manner as to ensure their arrival in the University of Kentucky Procurement Services before the due
date and time set forth in the solicitation. The time shown on the recording clock in Procurement
Services is the official time. Unless otherwise indicated in the solicitation no oral, facsimile, e-mail or

3 Specification Requirements
3.1 Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, all items bid are to be new, unused, and not
remanufactured in any way.
3.2 Whenever a trade name, brand name, or model and catalog numbers followed by the words "or
equal" or "approved equal" are used in the bid invitation it is for the purpose of item identification and
to establish standards of quality, style, and features. Bids on equivalent items, substantially the
same, are invited. However, to receive consideration, sufficient descriptive literature and/or
specifications to clearly identify the item and provide for competitive evaluation must accompany the
bid. The University will be the sole judge of equality and suitability. If bidder does not identify
exceptions to the specifications shown in the IFB, bidder will be required to furnish the brand
name(s), models, numbers, etc. specified in the IFB.
3.3 Unless stated otherwise in the solicitation, alternate bids will be considered. Alternate bids may be
made in addition to responding to the solicitation or as the only response to the solicitation.
However, the University is under no obligation to consider or accept an alternate bid and it reserves
the right to reject any and all such bids.
3.4 The University reserves the right to request samples of any or all items bid in order to determine
compliance with the specifications. The bidder must provide the samples within ten (10) days of the
request and at no charge to the University. Samples are non-returnable. Failure to comply may be
cause for rejection of the bid.
3.5 Bidders shall clearly delineate any deviations or exceptions from the bid specifications.
3.6 Except as otherwise provided in the solicitation, all bid prices must be firm. Prices subject to
qualifications, such as escalation or other variables, may be rejected as non-responsive.
3.7 Unless otherwise stipulated in the solicitation, all quantities are estimates and do not represent a

the term of the contract and it reserves the right to purchase more or less than the estimated
quantities. The University is obligated only for those quantities ordered.
3.8 Proposed delivery dates shall be stated in number of calendar days after receipt of order.
3.9 All offers shall be F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid and allowed.

4.1 Bids will be evaluated and the award made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder who offers
the best value to the University and meets the terms, conditions and specifications of the Invitation
for Bids.
4.2 The term "Responsible Bidder" means a person, company, or corporation who has the capability in
all respects to perform fully the contract requirements and the integrity and reliability that will assure
REV 3-11-2026

Invitation for Bid UK-2626-27 Page 4 of 14
good faith performance. In determining whether a Bidder is responsible, the University may evaluate
various factors including (but not limited to) financial resources; experience; organization; technical
qualifications; available resources; record of performance; integrity; judgment; ability to perform
successfully under the terms and conditions of the contract; and adversarial relationship between the
Bidder and the University that is so serious and compelling that it may negatively impact the work
performed under this Invitation for Bid; or any other cause determined to be so serious and
compelling as to affect the responsibility of the Bidder.
4.3 The University reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids or part of a bid and waive
informalities, technical defects and minor irregularities in the bids received. Further, the University
reserves the right to make a single award, split awards, make multiple awards or no award
whichever is in the best interest of the University.
4.4 Unless stated otherwise in the solicitation, the University reserves the right to award the contract to
the lowest aggregate bidder for all items, on an item-by-item basis, or a group of like items
whichever is found to be in the best interest of the University. The University will consider bids
submitted on an "all or nothing" basis if the bid is clearly designated as such.
4.5 In accordance with KRS 45A.494, a resident bidder of the Commonwealth of Kentucky shall be
given a preference against a nonresident bidder. In evaluating proposals, the University will apply a
reciprocal preference against a bidder submitting a proposal from a state that grants residency
preference equal to the preference given by the state of the nonresident bidder. Resident bidder
and nonresident bidder shall be defined in accordance with KRS 45A.494(2) and 45A.494(3),
respectively. Any Respondent claiming Kentucky residency status shall submit with its proposal a
notarized affidavit affirming that it meets the criteria as set for in the above referenced statute.
4.6 The University shall issue a price contract or purchase order as its notification of award to the
successful bidder(s). Until such date a price contract or purchase order is issued, nothing shall be
construed to constitute a binding agreement between the University and the bidder.
5 Payment and Taxes
5.1 The successful bidder shall be paid, at the prices stipulated, for items or services delivered and
accepted, upon the submission of proper invoices to the billing address shown on the purchase
order.
The University adheres to a strategic approach regarding payables management based on risk
minimization, processing costs, and industry best practices. As such, suppliers and individuals doing
business with the University will be paid based on the following protocol:
a. The University utilizes Payment Plus (e-payables) as its primary default form of payment. By
enrolling in Payment Plus, suppliers can receive payments immediately (all invoices will be
paid immediately upon confirmation of goods receipt and invoice). The process is electronic
and the supplier receives real-time payment notices. Additional information regarding
Payment Plus (and enrollment form) can be found at: https://www.uky.edu/ufs/payment-plus-
supplier-enrollment-form.
b. Payments by check. Payment terms for check payments are Net-30.
c. Individuals receiving payments from the University that require ACH direct payments will
only be processed under special circumstances as approved by the Controller's office.
Payment terms for ACH are Net-15.
5.2 Bidders may offer prompt payment discounts. The University will not consider any prompt payment
discounts in determining the bid award.
5.3 The University utilizes a procurement card program as the preferred method of payment. The
University assumes that all successful bidders will accept the University's procurement card as a
REV 3-11-2026

Invitation for Bid UK-2626-27 Page 5 of 14
method of payment unless a specific exception is stated in the bidder's response to the IFB. No
additional charges may be added for acceptance of the procurement card.
5.4 The University is tax exempt from the provisions of the Kentucky Sales and/or Use Tax (Tax
Exemption # A00276) on materials and equipment under this solicitation. The University is also
entitled to exemption from the Federal Excise Tax. All bidders shall take this into consideration
when submitting their bid. Exemption certificates will be furnished upon request. Bidders are
informed that material purchased by the contractor for the performance of this contract for the
University is not exempt from the provisions of the Kentucky Sales and/or Use Tax. All adjustments
and allowances for the current sales and/or use tax shall be included in the bid price.
6. Kentucky's Personal Information Security and Breach Investigation Procedures and Practices
Act
To the extent Company receives Personal Information as defined by and in accordance with
Kentucky's Personal Information Security and Breach Investigation Procedures and Practices Act,
KRS 61.931, 61.932 and 61.933 (the "Act"), Company shall secure and protect the Personal

acute-care hospitals totaling 465 licensed beds, more than 50 ambulatory centers and practice

8. Affiliation of St. Claire HealthCare
The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees on Friday April 26, 2024 approved plans to proceed
with the acquisition of St. Claire HealthCare in Morehead. The move for St. Claire to become part of
