INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

ARTICLE 1. RECEIPT AND OPENING OF BIDS

Sealed bids must be submitted in SEALED ENVELOPES, addressed to the Town

of North Kingstown Municipal Office Building, ATTN: Purchasing/Finance, 100

Fairway Drive, North Kingstown, Rhode Island 02852, and clearly marked with the

name of the item bid, and the date and time of opening. Bids will be received by the

Purchasing Agent up to the specified time as noted on the Invitation to Bid/Request for

Proposal and publicly opened and read aloud at the specified time.

Proposals submitted for a specified item must not be combined under the same cover

with any other bid item.

It is the bidder’s responsibility to see that their bid is delivered within the time and

at the place prescribed. Proposals received prior to the time of opening will be date/time

stamped and securely kept unopened. No responsibility will attach to any officer or person

for the premature opening of a proposal not properly addressed and identified.

Bids may be withdrawn personally or by written request at any time prior to the

time specified for the opening. Bids may be modified in the same manner. Negligence on

the part of the bidder in preparing the bid confers no right of withdrawal or modifications

to bid after such bid has been opened.

Any bid received after the time and date specified shall not be considered, by

messenger or by mail, even if it is determined by the Town that such non-arrival before the

time set for opening was due solely to delay in the mails for which the bidder is not

responsible. Conditional or qualified bids will not be accepted.

ARTICLE 2. PREPARATION OF BID

Each bid must be submitted on the prescribed form. All blank spaces for bid prices

must be filled in, in ink or typewritten, both in words and figures. Erasures or other changes

must be explained or noted over the signature of the bidder.

Each bid must be submitted in sealed envelopes, clearly labeled, so as to guard against

opening prior to the time set, therefore.

The Town may consider any bid not prepared and submitted in accordance with the

provisions hereof and reserves the right to reject any or all proposals in whole or in part,

toward any item, group of items, or total bid; to waive any technical defect or formality in

same, or to accept any proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the Town.

ARTICLE 3. TELEGRAPHIC MODIFICATION

Telephonic, telegraphic, or oral bids, amendments or withdrawals will not be accepted.

ARTICLE 4. WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

Bids may be withdrawn personally or by written request at any time prior to the

time specified for the opening. Bids may be modified in the same manner. Negligence on

the part of the bidder in preparing the bid confers no right of withdrawal or modifications

to bid after such bid has been opened.

ARTICLE 5. QUALIFICATIONS OF THE BIDDER

The Town reserves the right to request each bidder to present evidence that they are

normally engaged in purveying the type of product, service, or equipment bid on. No bid

shall be considered from bidders who are unable to show that they are normally engaged

in purveying the type of product or equipment specified in the bid proposal.

To receive full consideration, the bidder must submit literature and necessary

details, when applicable, on the material or service he proposes to furnish in order that the

Town may have full information available when analyzing the proposals.

ARTICLE 6. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BIDDER

It is the responsibility of the bidder to have inspected the Specifications and

Contract Documents (including all addenda) which have been posted on the Town of North

Kingstown, State of Rhode Island Purchasing websites and Bidnetdirect.com. The failure

or omission of any bidder to receive or examine any form, instrument, document or to

inspect any item specified as a Trade-in shall (if applicable) in no way relieve any bidder

from any obligation in respect to their bid.

When applicable, each bidder must inform themselves fully of the conditions

relating to the construction of the project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to

do so will not relieve a successful bidder of their obligation to furnish all material and labor

necessary to carry out the provisions of their contract. Insofar as possible the contractor, in

carrying out the work, must employ such methods or means as will not cause any

interruption of or interference with the work of any other contractor.
