9. Performance or Applicable Payment Bonds
Bonds are not required for this project.
10. RFQ Method of Payment
One of two methods:
1. For projects that are to be completed within 60 days: Payment is net 30 days from completion and approval of project.
2. For all other projects: Partial payment may be made including the cost of materials with the balance due at the project
completion and Brown County inspection satisfied.
3. Payment Terms: Payments may apply as noted in Wisconsin Statue 66.0135. If milestone payments are appropriate
they will be defined in the contract. Vendors are strongly encouraged to accept P-Card Payments.
11. Financial Verification
Vendor verification prior to award: Vendor’s financial solvency may be verified through financial background checks via Dun &
Bradstreet or other means (i.e. Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, UCC) prior to contract award. Brown County reserves the right to
reject RFBs/RFQs/RFPs based on information obtained through these background checks if it’s deemed to be in the best interest
of the County.
12. “Piggyback” Clause
Common purchasing practices in government include cooperative or “piggyback” purchasing among various units of government
or municipalities. This contract will be extended, with the authorization of the vendor, to other units of government or
municipalities at the same prices and/or discounts and terms and conditions. If another unit of government or municipality decides
to use this contract, the vendor must deal directly with the respective unit of government or municipality concerning the placement
of orders, issuance of the purchase orders, contractual disputes, invoicing and payment. Brown County acts only as the
“Contracting Agent” for those public agencies.
13. Other
1. Guarantees & Warranties: Guarantees and warranties on workmanship and materials shall be stated in your document
submission.
2. Cancelled Project Records: Brown County reserves the right to not disclose records of cancelled project(s) to ensure
open and fair competition of future solicitations.
3. Laws: All work shall conform to all applicable industry, Federal, State and Local Laws, Codes, Ordinances, OSHA
requirements and Standards.
4. License: Contractors performing work are required to have a Contractor’s License for the state for which the work is to
be done. All applicable Licenses for any contractors must be current on the day of contract execution and throughout
the length of the project.
5. Measurements: Contractors are responsible for all measurements.
