QUESTIONS: Please submit questions and requests for clarification related to definition or interpretation of this RFQ in
writing to the contracting officer before the Questions Due date/time listed in this RFQ. Those received after this date may
not be answered at the discretion of the County.
PRICING: The County may award a contract on the basis of initial quotations. Your price(s) should be the lowest possible
for the RFQ requirements. Omit Sales and Use Taxes unless otherwise specified.
The Estimated Quantities in the Pricing Schedule are provided solely for evaluation of quotations. They represent
approximate anticipated use based on historical consumption. If the County’s actual requirements do not result in orders in
the quantities described as “estimated” in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for price adjustment.
EVALUATION AND AWARD. Quotations are subject to acceptance at any time within 90 days after submission due
date/time, unless otherwise stipulated by the County. This RFQ is an informal negotiated procurement process. Lowest price
may not always be the sole criteria for award of an RFQ. The County reserves the right to waive a variation in specification
if, in the opinion of the County, such variation does not materially change the item or its performance within parameters
acceptable to the County. The County reserves the right to reject any or all quotations and to accept or reject any item(s)
thereon, or waive any informality in the quotation. The County reserves the right to perform a pre-award survey of the
offeror to determine capability to perform, including but not limited to facilities, financial responsibility, materials/supplies,
and past performance. The determination of the County as to an Offeror’s prospective ability to perform the contract shall
be conclusive.
SAMPLES: Samples, at Offeror’s expense, may be required for evaluation by the County. Delivery of sample must be
scheduled with contracting officer and provided within required timeline. The County shall have the right to review sample
and to determine if such sample is acceptable. The County’s decision to award is contingent upon its acceptance of the
products provided in the sample. During the term of the award, the County must approve any substitutions from the initial
sample in writing in advance of substitution. In no event shall the supplier be permitted to increase prices on the basis of
substituted item(s).
Sample, if not destroyed by tests, will, upon request, be returned at Offeror’s expense. Offeror must advise contracting
officer at time of sending sample that they must be returned, provide return address and Federal Express account number.
