TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF REQUEST FOR QUOTATION
RESPONSES: Your response is due through electronic upload to BuyNet on the specified close date and time, local San Diego time.

personal delivery to the Purchasing and Contracting front desk. Please use these methods only if unable to submit through BuyNet. If
mailed or delivered, the above RFQ No. should be included on the front of the envelope.
It is the Offeror’s responsibility to submit based on the most current RFQ, addenda thereto, responses to Questions, any other information
posted on BuyNet, and any diligence material made available by the County. Offerors are advised to regularly check BuyNet for
information. The County has no obligation to contact Offerors directly with any such RFQ-related information.
• In order to see all information related to this RFQ, to submit Questions, and to receive notifications of updates, Offerors must
select “Participate in RFx” for this solicitation in BuyNet.
Forms required to be submitted with Offeror’s Quotation are included in this RFQ or posted on the County’s web site at
https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/purchasing/purchasing-forms.html. Posted forms may be updated from time to time.
Unless otherwise specified, Offerors may submit the version of a form in place as of the date of RFQ issuance or any later version.
This is a request for information, and quotations furnished are not offers.
QUESTIONS: Please submit questions and requests for clarification related to definition or interpretation of this RFQ in writing to the
contracting officer before the Questions Due date/time listed in this RFQ. Those received after this date may not be answered at the
discretion of the County.
PRICING: The County may award a contract on the basis of initial quotations. Your price(s) should be the lowest possible for the RFQ
requirements. Omit Sales and Use Taxes unless otherwise specified.
The Estimated Quantities in the Pricing Schedule are provided solely for evaluation of quotations. They represent approximate
anticipated use based on historical consumption. If the County’s actual requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described
as “estimated” in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for price adjustment.
EVALUATION AND AWARD. Quotations are subject to acceptance at any time within 90 days after submission due date/time, unless
otherwise stipulated by the County. This RFQ is an informal negotiated procurement process. Lowest price may not always be the sole
criteria for award of an RFQ. The County reserves the right to waive a variation in specification if, in the opinion of the County, such
variation does not materially change the item or its performance within parameters acceptable to the County. The County reserves the
right to reject any or all quotations and to accept or reject any item(s) thereon, or waive any informality in the quotation. The County
reserves the right to perform a pre-award survey of the offeror to determine capability to perform, including but not limited to facilities,
financial responsibility, materials/supplies, and past performance. The determination of the County as to an Offeror’s prospective ability
to perform the contract shall be conclusive.
BRAND NAME OR EQUAL: If items called for in this Request for Quotation have been identified in the schedule by a "brand name
or equal" description, such identification is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, and is to indicate the quality and characteristics
of products (including products of brand name manufacturer s other than the one described by the brand name) to be considered for
award if such products are determined by the County to meet fully the salient characteristic requirements listed in the request.
Unless the offeror clearly indicates in the quotation that an "or equal" product is being offered, quotation shall be considered as offering
the brand name product specified.
If the offeror proposes to furnish an "equal” product, the brand name, if any, of the product to be furnished shall be inserted in the space
provided in the request for quotation, or such product shall be clearly identified in the quotation. The evaluation of the quotation and
the determination as to equality of the product offered shall be the responsibility of the County and will be based upon the information
furnished by the offeror, or identified in the quotation as well as other information reasonably available to the purchasing activity.
Caution to offerors: the purchasing activity is not responsible for locating or securing any information which is not identified in the
quotation and reasonably available to the purchasing activity. Accordingly, to insure that sufficient information is available, the offeror
must furnish, as part of the quotation, all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for
the purchasing activity to (i) determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristic requirements of the request for
quotation, and (ii) establish exactly what the offeror proposes to furnish and what the County is binding itself to purchase by making an
award. The information furnished may include specific references to information previously furnished or to information otherwise
available to the purchasing activity.
