website and all addenda shall become a part of this RFB. Each Bidder must in its Bid, to avoid any

miscommunication, acknowledge all addenda which it has received, but the failure of a Bidder to receive, or

acknowledge receipt of, any addendum shall not relieve the Bidder of the responsibility for complying with

the terms thereof.

provisions contained in this RFB), to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any or all Bids with or without cause.

The School District further reserves the right to waive any irregularity or informality in the RFB process or

bidder). The School District reserves the right to request additional information from any or all Bidders. The

School District reserves the right to negotiate with the Bidders concerning their Bids. In the event a Vendor’s

Bid is accepted by the School District and that Bidder asserts exceptions, special considerations or conditions

after acceptance, the School District, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to reject the Bid and

award the Contract to another Bidder.

Each Bidder by submitting its Bid releases the School District from any and all claims arising out of, and

related to, this RFB process and selection of a Vendor.

agents, and materials suppliers (payees) to comply with the provisions of this RFB and the Contract Documents

by insertion of the requirements hereof in a written contract agreement between Vendor and payee. Failure to

words appear. The School District, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to determine if the

proposed equivalent products/brands submitted by Bidder meet the specifications contained in this RFB and

possess equivalent and/or better qualities. It shall be the Bidder’s responsibility to advise the School District

in writing if any language, requirements, scope, specifications, etc., or any combinations thereof, inadvertently

restricts or limits the requirements stated in this RFB to a single source. Such notification shall be received by

the School District no later than five (5) days prior to the Due Date set for acceptance of Bids. The School

District reserves the right to request samples or testing of alternate products.

Bidder. A cost/price analysis and evaluation and/or audit shall be performed of the cost proposal in order to

determine if the price is fair and reasonable.
