Proposals submitted for a specified item must not be combined under the same cover with any

other bid item.

It is the bidder’s responsibility to see that their bid is delivered within the time and at the place

prescribed. Proposals received prior to the time of opening will be date/time stamped and securely kept

unopened. No responsibility will attach to any officer or person for the premature opening of a proposal

not properly addressed and identified.

Bids may be withdrawn personally or by written request at any time prior to the time specified

for the opening. Bids may be modified in the same manner. Negligence on the part of the bidder in

preparing the bid confers no right of withdrawal or modifications to bid after such bid has been opened.

Any bid received after the time and date specified shall not be considered, by messenger or by

mail, even if it is determined by the Town that such non-arrival before the time set for opening was due

solely to delay in the mails for which the bidder is not responsible. Conditional or qualified bids will not

be accepted.

ARTICLE 2.PREPARATION OF BID

Each bid must be submitted on the prescribed form. All blank spaces for bid prices must

be filled in, in ink or typewritten, both in words and figures. Erasures or other changes must be explained

or noted over the signature of the bidder.

Each bid must be submitted in sealed envelopes, clearly labeled, so as to guard against

opening prior to the time set, therefore.

The Town may consider any bid not prepared and submitted in accordance with the

provisions hereof and reserves the right to reject any or all proposals in whole or in part, toward any

item, group of items, or total bid; to waive any technical defect or formality in same, or to accept any

proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the Town.

ARTICLE 4. WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

Bids may be withdrawn personally or by written request at any time prior to the time

ARTICLE 5. QUALIFICATIONS OF THE BIDDER

The Town reserves the right to request each bidder to present evidence that they are normally

engaged in purveying the type of product, service, or equipment bid on. No bid shall be considered from

bidders who are unable to show that they are normally engaged in purveying the type of product or

equipment specified in the bid proposal.

To receive full consideration, the bidder must submit literature and necessary details, when

applicable, on the material or service he proposes to furnish in order that the Town may have full

information available when analyzing the proposals.

ARTICLE 6. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BIDDER

It is the responsibility of the bidder to have inspected the Specifications and Contract Documents

(including all addenda) which have been posted on the Town of North Kingstown, State of Rhode Island

Purchasing websites and Bidnetdirect.com. The failure or omission of any bidder to receive or examine

any form, instrument, document or to inspect any item specified as a Trade-in shall (if applicable) in no

way relieve any bidder from any obligation in respect to their bid.

When applicable, each bidder must inform themselves fully of the conditions relating to the

construction of the project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not relieve a

successful bidder of their obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions

of their contract. Insofar as possible the contractor, in carrying out the work, must employ such methods

or means as will not cause any interruption of or interference with the work of any other contractor.

Any exceptions or deviations from the provisions contained in this specification must be explained

in detail and attached to proposal. If such deviations do not depart from the intent of this notice and are in

the best interest of the Town, the proposal will receive careful consideration.

ARTICLE 8. “OR EQUAL” BIDDING

The Town intends to permit liberal scope in bidding and specifically does not intend to limit bidding

to any make or model. Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment is identified by reference to

manufacturers' or vendors' names, trade names, catalogue numbers, etc., it is intended merely to establish

a standard; and any proposed material, article, or equipment of other manufacturers and vendors which

will perform adequately the duties imposed by the general design will be considered equally acceptable

provided it is in the opinion of the Town to be of equal substance and function.
