for Proposals or until the time when the District takes official action on the Proposals.

The District reserves the right to modify the specifications prior to the Proposal submission deadline and

will endeavor to notify all potential Companies that have received a copy of the specifications, but failure

Due regard will be given for the protection of proprietary information contained in all Proposals received.

However, vendors should be aware that all materials associated with the procurement are subject to the

terms of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and all rules, regulations and interpretations resulting

shall not be used nor disclosed except for evaluation purposes, provided that, if a Contract is

awarded to this Company as a result of or in connection with the submission of this Proposal, De

award of a Contract.”

The above restriction does not limit the District’s rights to use or disclose without the Company’s

The District reserves the right to hold negotiations in an attempt to clarify and qualify terms of any

Proposal. The District reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms with any Company, regardless of

whether such Company was interviewed or submitted a best and final Proposal. The District may accept

any Proposal as submitted whether or not negotiations have been conducted between the parties. Neither

the commencement nor cessation of negotiations shall constitute rejection of the Proposal or a counteroffer

on the part of the District.
