The City may order none, some or all of the individual line items based on the bids; and may order

the mutual agreement of the awardee;
• Payment shall be based on the unit price for the actual quantity of items ordered and
delivered, FOB Ardmore;

Authorities for a period of one year;
• If selected to provide the item or items offered, the Bidder agrees to provide said items
within the designated delivery times shown in the specifications, or 14 days, whichever is
greater, following the date of the Order upon which the bid price is made; and should the
Bidder be unable to meet requisite delivery times, the City reserves the right to select the
next lowest bidder or available vendor, consistent with City purchasing policies. Because
time is of the essence, the only exception to this will be concrete. If concrete cannot be
provided on the date it was ordered for, the City reserves the right to select the next lowest
Bidder or available vendor, consistent with City purchasing policies.
