EXCLUSION

The Bidder certifies, by submission of this Bid or acceptance of this Contract, that neither it nor

It further agrees by submitting this Bid that it will include this clause without modification in all

bid response.

after the same shall have been put under contract; but the change so made, with the price to be

added or deducted from the contract price, therefore, shall be agreed upon in advance between

County and the successful Bidder.

The Purchasing Department shall issue to the successful Bidder a written change order to the

original contract; such change orders shall be binding upon both parties thereto and shall in no

way invalidate or make void the terms of the original contract not modified by such change.

CONTRACT NEGOTIATION:

All Bids must be firm for at least 150 calendar days from the Bid Due Date. If for any reason,

a Contract is not executed with the selected Bidder within fourteen days after notice of

been fulfilled.

The successful Contractor must not commence any billable work prior to the County's execution

of the contract, issuance of a purchase order or until all required documents have been

In the event Federal or State funds are being used to fund this Contract, additional certifications,

deviations, exceptions or alternates are submitted, it is the County Director of Purchasing’s sole

and final decision whether specifications have been met and will be considered for award.

of a Bidder and the rejection of the Bid:

1. Evidence of collusion among Bidders.

2. Lack of competency as revealed by financial, experience, or equipment
