BIDS. Bids must be received at the Purchasing Office before the date

and time specified for the opening. Bids must be submitted on this

bid form or exact copies and must be typed or clearly printed in ink.

Corrections must be initialed. Bids are to be made less Federal Excise

Tax and no charge for handling unless required by law. Bids will be

made available to the public after the time of award. Bid results will

be given by mail only if requested in writing and accompanied by a

self addressed, stamped business size envelope.

SPECIFICATIONS. Vendors must submit on items as specified.

Any changes in specifications must be noted on the “Specifications

Exception Form”. Vendors shall be notified in writing if any changes

to the specifications are made.

PERSONAL LIABILITY. The responding vendor agrees that in the

preparation of this bid or the execution of any resulting contract or

order, representatives of the City of Laconia shall incur no liability of

any kind.

PROOF OF COMPLIANCE. The responding vendor may be

required to supply proof of compliance with bid/proposal

specifications. When requested, the responding vendor must

immediately supply the Purchasing Office with certified test results

the toss of a coin. Discounts will not be considered in making award

but may be offered on the invoice for earlier payment and will be
