CITY OF PORT ANGELES
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PURCHASE CONTRACT
THE PURCHASE CONTRACT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
AND THE PUBLISHED RULES, REGULATIONS, AND LAWS OF THE CITY OF PORT
ANGELES AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON THAT ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY
REFERENCE.
1. CHANGES: No alteration in any of the terms, conditions, delivery price, quality, quantities,
or specifications will be effective without written consent of the appropriate representative
of the City.
2. HANDLING: No charges will be allowed for handling, including but not limited to packing,
wrapping bags, containers or reels, unless otherwise stated herein.
3. DELIVERY & ACCEPTANCE: For any exception to the delivery date as specified in this
Contract, Vendor shall give prior notification and obtain written approval thereto from the
City. Time is of the essence and the Contract is subject to termination for failure to deliver
as specified and/or appropriate damages. The acceptance by the City of late performance
with or without objection or reservation shall not waive the right to claim damage for such
breach nor constitute a waiver of the requirements for the timely performance of any
obligation remaining to be performed by Vendor.
The Vendor shall be responsible for delivery and replacement of loader tires at the Port
Angeles Transfer Station located at 3501 West 18th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98363,
between the hours of 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM during the City's normal workday.
4. DAMAGES FOR DELAY: Delays add cost to the City in the form of time needed for
operational duties, administration and supervision and in the form of replacement
equipment rental. Because the City finds it impractical to calculate all of the actual cost of
delays, it has adopted the following to calculate liquidated damages for failure to complete
the delivery of the equipment/material on time.
Accordingly, the Vendor agrees to the following:
a. To pay liquidated damages in the amount of $125.00 for each working day beyond the
number of working days established for physical delivery of the equipment/material.
b. To authorize the City to deduct these liquidated damages from any money due or
coming due to the Vendor.
5. PAYMENTS: Invoices will not be processed for payment until receipt of a properly
completed invoice or invoiced items, whichever is later. All invoices, packing lists,
packages, shipping notices, instruction manuals, and other written documents affecting
this Contract shall contain the applicable purchase contract number. All orders shall be
placed using City Purchase Orders. Payments shall be made within 30 calendar days from
the date the invoice was received.

this clause, shall also be subject to the terms of this clause to the same extent as goods
