B. Content
All of the items listed below must be addressed and included in each sealed bid. If all of these items are
not provided in a firm’s sealed bid, then the Council may deem the firm’s bid non-responsive and may
not evaluate the bid.
The Council reserves the right to waive minor errors, omissions, or technicalities as determined to be in
the best interest of the Council and that do not impede the Council’s ability to determine if the bidder
responds in quality, fitness, and capacity to the project’s requirements.
Sub-Part 1 – Attachment A – Detailed Bid Specifications
The Council intends to award a single, firm fixed price contract for the items described in this IFB;
however, if this IFB is for multiple items, then the Council may, at its discretion, award multiple firm
fixed price contracts. Each firm responding to this IFB must provide an electronic signed, version of its
Attachment A. Each firm must also submit its price quote using Attachment A – Detailed Bid
Specifications (Attachment A). Attachment A is available in *.xlsx format on the Council’s website at
www.ewgateway.org/about-us/what-we-do/doing-business-with-ewg/contracting-opportunities/. This
spreadsheet may only be modified as noted in the file.
The specifications described in Attachment A are the minimum acceptable. When specific manufacturer
and model numbers are used, they are to establish a design, type of construction, quality, functional
capability, or performance level desired. When firms quote alternates, they must be identified by
manufacturer, stock number, and other information necessary for the Council to establish equivalency.
The Council / evaluators will determine whether the alternate offered is an equivalent item. The Council
/ evaluators may request a demonstration of the products prior to a contract award and the responding
firm must make a reasonable effort to arrange a presentation of the proposed products.
The Council reserves the right to reject, as non-responsive, a firm that does not submit:
Attachment A in the required format
