and skill; ability to perform within the time required; character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience and
efficiency of contractor; quality of contractor’s performance on previous purchases or contracts, if
applicable; and the ability of the contractor to provide future maintenance, repair, parts and services, if
applicable. If within the past two years, a contractor has had a contract terminated early by the City of
Antioch then contractor is disqualified from bidding on any future projects for a two-year period from the
date of termination.
The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to accept or reject any one or more items of a bid, or to
waive any minor irregularities or informalities in the bid. It is anticipated that all items will be purchased,
however the City reserves the right to change quantities prior to the award. Estimated quantities are no
guarantee of a certain quantity to be ordered by City. The City reserves the right to make the award to the
overall low bidder, or split the award amongst the bidders. If the bid is on an “all or nothing” basis, this must
be stated on the bid form.
For the purpose of evaluating bids for multiple awards, the sum of $175.00 is considered to be the
administrative cost to the City for issuing and administering each contract awarded. Individual awards will
be made for the items and combinations of items which result in the lowest aggregate price to the City,
including such administrative cost.
10. Terms and Conditions - The bidder shall not change the wording on the specifications or conditions. No
words or comments shall be added to the general conditions or detailed specifications. Any explanation or
alternative offered shall be set forth in a letter attached to the front cover of the specifications. Alternatives
which do not substantially comply with the City's specifications cannot be considered. Conditional bids
cannot be accepted.
11. Brand Names- The make or brand and grade of the article on which the bid is submitted should be stated
on the bid form.

than 20 days will be considered net. The standard terms at the City of Antioch are Net 30 days.

freight charges to the City. All costs for packing, delivery, drayage, postage, freight, express, or for any
other purpose are to be borne by the bidder.
14. Approved Equal – Brand names and numbers, when used, are for reference to indicate the character
or quality desired. The use of the name of a manufacturer, or any special brand or make, in describing
any item in the bid documents does not restrict bidders to that manufacturer or specific article. An equal of
the named product will be given due consideration if literature is submitted with the bid showing that the
product is of equal or better quality and utility to that specified by the City. Determination of acceptability of
any product shall be solely at the City’s discretion.

rejected. Defective items shall be made good by the vendor in a manner satisfactory to the City.

days following receipt of the order by the contractor to receipt of the goods or services by the City. Time of
delivery may be a consideration in the award.
Time is of the essence, and the purchase order is subject to termination for failure to deliver on time. The

to claim damage for such breach nor constitute a waiver of the requirements for the timely performance of
any obligation remaining to be performed by the vendor.

damage. It being impractical and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that the

delay in finishing the contract as specified in section “vi. Contract Terms and Conditions” of this Request for

within time specified therein or fail to deliver in strict conformance to specifications and requirements set
forth therein. In the event of such termination, the City reserves the right to purchase or obtain the supplies
or services elsewhere, and the defaulting vendor/contractor shall be liable for the difference between the
prices set forth in the terminated order and the actual cost thereof to the City. The prevailing market price
shall be considered the fair repurchase price. If, after notice of termination of this contract under the
provisions of this clause, it is determined for any reason that the Contractor was not in default under the
provisions of this clause, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the notice of
termination had been issued pursuant to the Termination for Convenience clause. The rights and remedies
of City provided in this article shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under resulting order.
23. Termination for Convenience - The City may, by written notice stating the extent and effective date,
terminate any resulting order for convenience in whole or in part, at any time. The City shall pay the vendor
as full compensation for performance until such termination the unit or pro rate price for the delivered and
accepted portion, and a reasonable amount, as costs of termination, not otherwise recoverable from other
sources by the contractor as approved by the City, with respect to the undelivered or unaccepted portion of
the order, provided compensation hereunder shall in no event exceed the total price. In no event shall the
City be liable for any loss of profits on the resulting order or portion thereof so terminated. The rights and
remedies of City provided in this article shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and
