1. Solicitation Process and Contract Award

Verbal explanations or instructions given by a county employee to a bidder in regard to this

solicitation will not be binding on the County. Formal requests for clarification of this bid

solicitation or questions regarding the terms of this bid solicitation are to be directed in

writing to Brian Meyers, Director of Fire and Emergency Management, 151 N. Main Street,

Wyoming, New York 14569 via email at: bmeyers@wyomingcountyny.gov. Any

information given to a bidder in response to a formal request will be furnished to all bidders

as an amendment to this solicitation, if such information is deemed necessary for the

preparation of proposals, or if the lack of such information would be detrimental to

submission of uniform proposals. Only such amendments, when issued by the County

Office of Emergency Services, will be considered as being binding on the County.

While it is the County’s expressed intention to provide for a fair and competitive solicitation

for this contract, the County reserves the right to waive specific requirements of this

solicitation when such waiver is deemed to be in the County’s best interest.

This bid solicitation does not commit the County of Wyoming to award a contract or to pay

any costs incurred by the bidder in the preparation of a proposal. Any bidder who submits a

proposal in response to this solicitation does so at their own expense.

The County of Wyoming reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids received as a

result of this request, to negotiate with all qualified bidders, or to cancel in part or in its

entirety this bid if it is deemed in the best interest of the County to do so. The County of

Wyoming may require that the bidder tentatively selected participate in negotiations, and to

submit further documentation and/or revisions of their bid as may result from contract

negotiations.

The County of Wyoming may award a contract based upon the bids received, without

discussion of such bid with a bidder. Each bid should therefore, be submitted in the most

favorable terms the bidder can make to the County of Wyoming. The County of Wyoming

does, however, reserve the right to request additional data or an oral presentation in support

of the written bid.

The awarding of a contract for the work outlined in this Request for Bids is subject to the

approval of the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors. Contract award decisions will be

made public as soon as possible. Bidders should not assume that their bid has been approved

until the receipt of official notification from the County of Wyoming. Any expenditure

incurred prior to the official notification by the County of Wyoming will be the sole

responsibility of the bidder.

The Wyoming County Office of Emergency Services and the County Administrator shall

evaluate all bids. It is anticipated that the County Board of Supervisors will act to select a

firm on or about April 14, 2026.

The County of Wyoming fully complies with the regulatory requirements and spirit and

intent of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employment.

It is the intent of the county to award this contract to one Bidder.
