General Conditions; any Special Conditions; and Specifications listed in the solicitation document.

The purpose of this solicitation is to set forth the requirements and specifications of Southeastern Louisiana

University. The contents of this solicitation and the Bidder/ Vendor/ Contractor's bid response shall become

contractual obligations if a contract (purchase order) ensues.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

1) Bid Forms: All written bids, unless otherwise provided for, must be submitted on, and in accordance with,

forms provided, properly signed by an authorized representative of the bidding entity. Bids submitted in the

following manner will not be accepted: (1) bid contains no signature indicating intent to be bound; (2) bid

sent by facsimile equipment or email. Price alterations to bid responses received before bid opening time

will be considered provided the written price alteration has been received and time-stamped before bid

opening time. Any other alterations of the bid response form or foreign conditions attached thereto may

cause rejection of the bid response without further consideration.

2) Standard of Quality: Any product or service bid shall conform to all applicable Federal and State laws and

regulations and specifications contained in the solicitation document. Unless otherwise specified in the

solicitation document, any manufacturer's name, trade name, brand name, or catalog number used in the

specifications is for the purpose of describing the quality level and characteristic required. Bidder should

specify the brand and model number of the product offered in his bid. Bids not specifying brand and model

number shall be considered as offering the exact products specified in the solicitation document.

3) Descriptive Information: Bidders proposing an equivalent brand or model should submit with the bid

response information (such as illustrations, descriptive literature, and technical data) sufficient for the

University to evaluate quality, suitability, and compliance with the specifications of the solicitation

document. Failure to submit descriptive information may cause bid to be rejected. Any change made to a

manufacturer's published specification submitted for a product shall be verifiable by the manufacturer. If

item(s) bid does not comply with specifications (including brand and/or product number), bidder should

state in what respect the item(s) deviate. Failure to note exceptions on the response form will not relieve

the successful bidder(s) from supplying the actual products requested.

4) Bid Opening: Bidders may attend the bid opening, but no information or opinions concerning the ultimate

contract award will be given at the bid opening or during the evaluation process. Bids may be examined 72

hours after request is made. Information pertaining to completed files may be secured by visiting the SLU

Purchasing Department during normal working hours. Written bid tabulations will not be furnished.

5) Louisiana Preference: Preference is hereby given to products produced, manufactured, harvested, grown

or assembled in Louisiana which are equal in quality to products produced, manufactured, harvested,

grown or assembled outside of Louisiana. The bidder shall state his right to claim the ten percent (10%)

preference in his bid response and the bidder should state the respective Louisiana location where each

qualifying item is produced, manufactured, harvested, grown or assembled.

6) Notice of Special Programs Available for Small Business: https://www.opportunitylouisiana.com/small-

GENERAL CONDITIONS

The SLU Purchasing Department reserves the right to award items separately, grouped or on an all-or-none

basis and to reject any or all bids and waive any informalities.

1) Prices: Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, bid prices shall be complete, including transportation

and handling prepaid by the bidder to destination - SLU, Hammond, LA. Bids other than FOB destination

may be rejected. Bid prices should be quoted in the unit of measure stated. Bid prices shall be firm for a

minimum of thirty (30) calendar days, unless otherwise specified by SLU in the solicitation document.

2) Payment Terms: Cash discounts for less than 30 days may be offered, but will not be considered in

determining awards. Bids containing "payment in advance" or "COD" requirements may be rejected.

Payment is to be made within 30 days after receipt of properly executed invoice or delivery, whichever is

later.

3) Delivery: Bids may be rejected if the delivery time indicated is longer than that specified in the solicitation

document.

4) Taxes: Bidder is responsible for including all applicable taxes in the bid price. The University is currently

exempt from Louisiana State Sales and Use Taxes, and local parish and city taxes. An exemption

certificate for state sales and use tax can be provided upon request.

5) New Products: Unless specifically called for in the solicitation document, all products for purchase must

be new, never previously used, and the current model and/or packaging. No remanufactured,

demonstrator, used or irregular product will be considered for purchase unless otherwise specified in the

solicitation document. The manufacturer's standard warranty will apply unless otherwise stated in

solicitation.

6) Default of Contractor: Failure to deliver within the time specified in the solicitation document will constitute

a default and may cause cancellation of the contract. Where the University has determined the contractor

to be in default, the state reserves the right to purchase any or all products or services covered by the

contract on the open market and to charge the contractor with cost in excess of the contract price. Until

such assessed charges have been paid, no subsequent bid from the defaulting contractor will be

considered.

7) Contract Cancellation: The University shall have the right to cancel any contract, in accordance with

Purchasing Rules and Regulations, for cause, including but not limited to, the following: (1) failure of the

vendor to deliver within the time specified in the contract; (2) failure of the product or service to meet

specifications, conform to sample quality, or to be delivered in good condition; (3) misrepresentation by the

contractor; (4) fraud, collusion, conspiracy or other unlawful means of obtaining any contract with the

state; (5) conflict of contract provisions with constitutional or statutory provisions of state or federal law;

(6) any other breach of contract.

8) Applicable Law: All contracts shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State

of Louisiana.

9) Equal Opportunity: By submitting and signing this bid, bidder agrees that he will not discriminate in the

rendering of services to and/or employment of individuals because of race, color, religion, sex, age,

national origin, handicap, disability, veteran status, or any other non-merit factor.

By submitting a response to this solicitation, the bidder or proposer certifies and agrees that the following

information is correct: In preparing its response, the bidder or proposer has considered all proposals

submitted from qualified, potential subcontractors and suppliers, and has not, in the solicitation, selection,

or commercial treatment of any subcontractor or supplier, refused to transact or terminated business

activities, or taken other actions intended to limit commercial relations, with a person or entity that is

engaging in commercial transactions in Israel or Israeli-controlled territories, with the specific intent to

accomplish a boycott or divestment of Israel. The bidder also has not retaliated against any person or other

entity for reporting such refusal, termination, or commercially limiting actions. The state reserves the right

to reject the response of the bidder or proposer if this certification is subsequently determined to be false,

and to terminate any contract awarded based on such a false response.

10) Piggyback: Other Louisiana Governmental Agencies may purchase at the same terms and conditions if

agreed upon by awarded vendor.
