QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS

The Owner may make such investigations as he/she deems necessary to determine the ability of

the Bidder to supply the necessary chemicals, and the Bidder shall furnish to the Owner all such

information and data for the purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner reserves the right to reject

any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such

Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligation of the contract by supplying the chemicals

contemplated therein. Conditional bids will not be accepted.

METHOD OF AWARD - LOWEST QUALIFIED BIDDER

If at the time this contract is to be awarded the lowest base bid submitted by a responsible

Bidder does not exceed the amount of funds then estimated by the Owner as available to finance the

contract, then the contract will be awarded on the bid. If such bid exceeds such amount, the Owner

may reject all bids or may award the contract on the lowest bid with such deductible alternates to

produce a net amount that is within the available funds.

Award(s) will be based on the low evaluated bidder per schedule.

In evaluating bids, the Water and Sewer Department will consider the chemical's performance

standards with regard to specific application, whether or not the bids comply with the minimum

requirements, and such alternates, unit prices, availability and any other data the bidder may provide

with his bid. This may be done by means of past experience or research. Initial cost may not determine

low bid. In case of error or discrepancy in the mathematics of the bid price, the unit prices shall prevail.
