CONDITION OF AWARD
It is understood that the award of the contract will be made on the basis of the lowest responsible
Base Bid (Items 1 to 7).
In the event the low bid is below the available funds certified by the appropriate fiscal officer, the head of
the purchasing agency responsible for the procurement in question is authorized to award Additives to the
lowest bidder. The award of Additives may be in any order or combination such that the Base Bid plus
Additives do not exceed the available funds.
It is understood and agreed that the Department of Agriculture reserves the right to reject any and/or all
bids and waive any defects when, in the Board's opinion, such rejection or waiver will be for the best interest
of the State of Hawaii.
In the event all bids exceed available funds certified by the appropriate fiscal officer, the head of the
purchasing agency responsible for the procurement in question is authorized in situations where time or
economic considerations preclude resolicitation of work of a reduced scope to negotiate an adjustment of
the bid price, including changes in the bid requirements, with the low responsible and responsive bidder, in
order to bring the bid within the amount of available funds. It is understood and agreed upon that the head
of the purchasing agency may delete a portion or all of any item(s) in the proposal at the stated unit or lump
sum price as necessary to stay within the available funding. The bidder is responsible to make an earnest
effort to represent the actual cost of each item, including all materials, labor, equipment, overhead and
profit in their bid proposal to preclude claims of anticipated profit or loss of profit because of an unbalanced
bid proposal.
It is also understood that if a mutually agreeable cost for the reduced scope of work necessitated by a lack of
available funds cannot be agreed upon between the bidder and the head of the purchasing agency within 14
calendar days after the bid opening, then the bid may be rejected in the best interest of the purchasing
agency, and the head of the purchasing agency may negotiate in progressive order (lowest to highest) with
the next lowest responsible and responsive bidder.
