All University of Kentucky bid solicitations are made upon and subject to the following conditions:

including the Kentucky Model Procurement Code, and the rules, regulations and policies of the University of
Kentucky including the University of Kentucky's General Terms and Conditions.
1.2 Bidders are expected to examine the complete bid and all attachments including drawings, specifications and
instructions. Failure to do so is at bidder's risk.
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 bidder agrees to all terms and
conditions stipulated in the Invitation for Bids (IFB).
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.
2 Submission of Bids
2.1 Bids, and modifications thereof, shall be returned in a sealed envelope and submitted in such a 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 telephone bids will be accepted.
2.2 Bids may be modified or withdrawn in writing or in person by an authorized representative if done so prior to
the exact time and date for receipt of the bids. Telephone and facsimile modifications or withdrawals are not
permitted. Withdrawn bids may be resubmitted, with or without modifications, up to the solicitation due date

Invitation for Bid UK-2615-27 Page 3 of 9

be publicly opened and read in accordance with the Invitation for Bids.

on the face of the bid envelope.
2.5 All bids will be considered firm for a period of forty-five (45) calendar days from the bid opening date.
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 minimum
guarantee. The University is obligated to purchase only those quantities needed during 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 Bid Evaluation and Award
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 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

Invitation for Bid UK-2615-27 Page 4 of 9
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 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.
