BID INVITATION FOR: Grounds Maintenance Supplies

Unless specifically amended or deleted, by the Purchasing Office, the following General Terms and Conditions apply to this Bid and any

resulting Purchase Order or Contract.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

BIDS. Bids must be received at the Purchasing Office before

the date and time specified for the opening. Bids must be

submitted on this bid form or exact copies and must be typed

or clearly printed in ink. Corrections must be initialed. Bids are

to be made less Federal Excise Tax and no charge for

handling unless required by law. Bids will be made available to

the public after the time of award. Bid results will be given by

mail only if requested in writing and accompanied by a self

addressed, stamped business size envelope.

SPECIFICATIONS. Vendors must submit on items as

specified. Any changes in specifications must be noted on the

“Specifications Exception Form”. Vendors shall be notified in

writing if any changes to the specifications are made.

AWARD. The award will be made to the responsible vendor

submitting a conforming Bid meeting specifications at the

lowest cost unless other criteria are noted in the Request for

Bid. Unless otherwise noted, the award may be made by

individual items. If there is a discrepancy between the unit

price and the extension, the unit price will prevail. When

identical low bids are received the award will be made to the

local vendor. If identical low bids are received by local vendors,

or non-local vendors, the award will be determined by the toss

of a coin. Discounts will not be considered in making award but

may be offered on the invoice for earlier payment and will be

applicable on the date of completion of delivery or receipt of

invoice, whichever is later.

ASSIGNMENT PROVISION. The responding vendor hereby

agrees to assign all causes of action that it may acquire under

the antitrust laws of New Hampshire and the United States as

the result of conspiracies, combinations, or contracts in

restraint of trade which materially affect the price of goods or

services obtained by the city under this contract if so requested

by the City of Laconia.

CITY’S OPTIONS. The City of Laconia reserves the right to

reject or accept all or any part of any bid, to determine what

constitutes a conforming bid, to award the bid solely as it

deems to be in the best interest of the City, and to waive

irregularities that it considers not material to the bid.

PUBLIC INFORMATION. The responding vendor hereby

acknowledges that all information relating to this bid and any

resulting order (including but not limited to fees, contracts,

agreements, and prices) are subject to the laws of the State of

New Hampshire regarding public information.

PERSONAL LIABILITY. The responding vendor agrees that in

the preparation of this bid or the execution of any resulting

contract or order, representatives of the City of Laconia shall

incur no liability of any kind.

PROOF OF COMPLIANCE. The responding vendor may be

required to supply proof of compliance with bid/proposal

specifications. When requested, the responding vendor must

immediately supply the Purchasing Office with certified test

results or certificates of compliance. Where none are available,

the City of Laconia may require independent laboratory testing.

All costs for such testing, certified test results or certificates of

compliance shall be the responsibility of the responding

vendor.

FORM OF CONTRACT. The terms and conditions set forth in

any additional Terms and Conditions by the Purchasing Office

are part of the bid and will apply to any contract awarded to the

responding vendor unless specific exceptions are taken and

accepted and will prevail over any contrary provisions in Terms

and Conditions submitted by the responding vendor.

Laconia the commodities or services indicated in the following

page(s) of this Bid at the price(s) quoted in complete

accordance with all conditions of this Bid.
