The City may order none, some or all of the individual line items based on the bids; and may order some items
on multiple occasions during the period for which the Bids remain in effect. Bidders should therefore prepare
their bids for each individual line item independent of its real or perceived relationship to any other related line
item.
It shall be assumed and the Bidder grants that
• The unit prices or lump sums shall be full compensation for furnishing and delivering the items of materials,
equipment, components or devices to the ‘City’ or designated representatives at the Public Works facility,
City Hall or to a designated location, such as a worksite, within the City limits of Ardmore;
• All surcharges, charges or fees shall be included in the unit price bid.

extension; the City reserves the right to extend the expiration date of the bids for up to 180 days when it is
considered in the City's best interests and only with the mutual agreement of the awardee;
• Payment shall be based on the unit price for the actual quantity of items ordered and delivered, FOB
Ardmore;
• He or she has examined the technical specifications and agrees to provide the specified items or items of
equal or better value, provided such alternative item has been approved by the City Purchasing Agent prior

• The Bidder agrees in lieu of a security bond to honor his or her bid for a period of 30 days following the
publication of all bids received; and, if designated the principal Bidder based on the lowest and most
responsible bid received, honor said bid price for six (6) months; and if he or she fails to do so, shall not be
qualified to bid or offer bids to the City or its Authorities for a period of one year;
• If selected to provide the item or items offered, the Bidder agrees to provide said items within the
designated delivery times shown in the specifications, or 14 days, whichever is greater, following the date
of the Order upon which the bid price is made; and should the Bidder be unable to meet requisite delivery
times, the City reserves the right to select the next lowest bidder or available vendor, consistent with City
purchasing policies. Because time is of the essence, the only exception to this will be concrete.
