questions. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check the website for the addendums.
4. The County will not be responsible for any oral instructions. Should a Bidder find
discrepancies in, or omissions from the documents, or should be in doubt as to their
meaning, s/he should at once notify the Issuing Department in writing, and a written
addendum shall be issued. Acknowledgement of any Addendum received during the time
of the bid shall be noted on the Bid Form in the spaces provided. In closing of a contract,
any Addendum issued shall become a part thereof. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to

5. Bids will be examined promptly after opening and award will be made at the earliest
possible date. The prices quoted must be held firm, and no bids may be withdrawn until

test/inspection it may deem advisable to ensure services/materials/supplies/equipment, as
3
appropriate, conform to specifications.
6. Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes Section 143-131, “award shall be made to
the lowest responsible, responsive bid or bidders, taking into consideration quality,
performance and the time specified in the bids for the performance of the contract.”
7. The materials/supplies/equipment furnished under any resulting contract shall be covered
by the manufacturer’s most favorable commercial warranty. Each Bidder shall plainly set
forth the warranty for the goods in the bid. Operations and maintenance manuals for
equipment shall also be provided, as appropriate.
8. All purchases for goods or services are subject to the availability of funds for this
particular purpose.
9. The General Statutes of the State of North Carolina, insofar as they apply to purchasing
and competitive bidding, are made a part hereof.
10. The County of Moore is committed to creating and maintaining an environment free from
harassment and other forms of misconduct that fundamentally compromise the working
environment of the County. All contractors performing work/services at a County facility
shall take all necessary steps to assure that none of its employees engage in harassment or
intimidation relating to personal beliefs or characteristics of anyone on the County’s
premises, including but not limited to, race, religion, age, color, sex, national origin or
disability. Such harassment is unacceptable and will not be condoned in any form at the
County of Moore. If such conduct occurs, the contractor will take all necessary steps to
stop it and prevent its future occurrence. This policy shall be strictly enforced.
11. For all the work being performed under this Contract, the County of Moore has the right
to inspect, examine, and make copies of any and all books, accounts, records and other
writing relating to the performance of the work. Audits shall take place at times and
locations mutually agreed upon by both parties, although the vendor/contractor must
make the materials to be audited available within one (1) week of the request for them.
12. Bidders are cautioned that this is an informal bid, not a request for contract, and the
County of Moore reserves the right to reject any and/or all bids. It further reserves the
right to waive informalities insofar as it is authorized so to do where it deems it advisable
in protection of the best interests of the County.
13. Bids will be tabulated, evaluated and a recommendation presented to the County of
Moore Board of Commissioners for their approval.

details of what is to be furnished in lieu of requested Specifications.
15. The County of Moore reserves the right to cancel and terminate any resulting contract, in
whole or in part, without penalty, upon forty-five (45) days’ notice to the Vendor(s). Any
4
contract cancellation shall not relieve the Vendor(s) of the obligation to deliver any
outstanding services issued prior to the effective date of the cancellation.
16. Bids in one (1) original and one (1) copy will be received from each Bidder in a
sealed envelope or package. Please include the following information on the bid
envelope: “Informal Bid 2026-07”. Each original shall be signed and dated by an
official authorized to bind the form. Unsigned bids will not be considered.
17. Upon receipt by Moore County Financial Services, your Bid is considered a public record
except for material which qualifies as “trade secret” information under N.C. Gen. Stat.
66-152 et. seq. After the Bid opening, your Bid may be reviewed by the County’s
evaluation committee, as well as other County staff and members of the general public
who submit public records requests. To properly designate material as trade secret under
these circumstances, each Bidder must take the following precautions: (a) any trade
secrets submitted by a Bidder must be submitted in a separate, sealed envelope marked
“Trade Secret — Confidential and Proprietary Information — Do Not Disclose Except
for the Purpose of Evaluating this Bid,” and (b) the same trade secret/confidentiality
designation must be stamped on each page of the trade secret materials contained in the
envelope.
In submitting a Bid, each Bidder agrees that the County may reveal any trade secret
materials contained in such response to all County staff and County officials involved in
the selection process, and to any outside consultant or other third parties who serve on the
evaluation committee or who are hired by the County to assist in the selection
process. Furthermore, each Bidder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the County
and each of its officers, employees, and agents from all costs, damages, and expenses
incurred in connection with refusing to disclose any material which the Bidder has
designated as a trade secret. Any Bidder that designates its entire Bid as a trade secret
may be disqualified.
18. Bidder shall comply with the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act and shall
provide for the payment of workers’ compensation to its employees in the manner and to
the extent required by such Act. In addition, the Provider shall maintain, at its expense,
the following minimum insurance coverage:
