PRICING (MAR 2024): (a) Fixed Price. If a fixed price is required, award will not be made on an Offer if the total
possible price to the County cannot be determined. (b) Price Reasonableness: Any offer may be rejected if the
Procurement Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. (c) Unbalanced Pricing. The County

9 IFB 20260304 Provide Stone for Fairfield County Public Works
INVITATION FOR BIDS 20260304
Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is
significantly over or understated. The responsible procurement officer may reject an offer as unreasonably priced if
she determines that unbalanced pricing increases performance risk (e.g., it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to
allowing an advance payment) or could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. S.C. Code Ann. Reg. 19-
445.2122C. [02-2A082-2]
OPEN TRADE REPRESENTATION (JUN 2015): By submitting an Offer, Offeror represents that Offeror is not
