personal delivery to the Purchasing and Contracting front desk. Please use these methods only if unable to submit through BuyNet. If
mailed or delivered, the above RFQ No. should be included on the front of the envelope.
It is the Offeror's responsibility to submit based on the most current RFQ, addenda thereto, responses to Questions, any other information
posted on BuyNet, and any diligence material made available by the County. Offerors are advised to regularly check BuyNet for
information. The County has no obligation to contact Offerors directly with any such RFQ-related information.
* In order to see all information related to this RFQ, to submit Questions, and to receive notifications of updates, Offerors must
select "Participate in RFx" for this solicitation in BuyNet.
Forms required to be submitted with Offeror's Quotation are included in this RFQ or posted on the County's web site at
https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/purchasing/purchasing-forms.html. Posted forms may be updated from time to time.
Unless otherwise specified, Offerors may submit the version of a form in place as of the date of RFQ issuance or any later version.
This is a request for information, and quotations furnished are not offers.
QUESTIONS: Please submit questions and requests for clarification related to definition or interpretation of this RFQ in writing to the
contracting officer before the Questions Due date/time listed in this RFQ. Those received after this date may not be answered at the
discretion of the County.
PRICING: The County may award a contract on the basis of initial quotations. Your price(s) should be the lowest possible for the RFQ
requirements. Omit Sales and Use Taxes unless otherwise specified.
The Estimated Quantities in the Pricing Schedule are provided solely for evaluation of quotations. They represent approximate
anticipated use based on historical consumption. If the County's actual requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described
as "estimated" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for price adjustment.
EVALUATION AND AWARD. Quotations are subject to acceptance at any time within 90 days after submission due date/time, unless
otherwise stipulated by the County. This RFQ is an informal negotiated procurement process. Lowest price may not always be the sole
criteria for award of an RFQ. The County reserves the right to waive a variation in specification if, in the opinion of the County, such
variation does not materially change the item or its performance within parameters acceptable to the County. The County reserves the
right to reject any or all quotations and to accept or reject any item(s) thereon, or waive any informality in the quotation. The County
reserves the right to perform a pre-award survey of the offeror to determine capability to perform, including but not limited to facilities,
financial responsibility, materials/supplies, and past performance. The determination of the County as to an Offeror's prospective ability
to perform the contract shall be conclusive.
SAMPLES: Samples, at Offeror's expense, may be required for evaluation by the County. Delivery of sample must be scheduled with
contracting officer and provided within required timeline. The County shall have the right to review sample and to determine if such
sample is acceptable. The County's decision to award is contingent upon its acceptance of the products provided in the sample. During
the term of the award, the County must approve any substitutions from the initial sample in writing in advance of substitution. In no
event shall the supplier be permitted to increase prices on the basis of substituted item(s).
Sample, if not destroyed by tests, will, upon request, be returned at Offeror's expense. Offeror must advise contracting officer at time
of sending sample that they must be returned, provide return address and Federal Express account number.
BRAND NAME OR EQUAL: If items called for in this Request for Quotation have been identified in the schedule by a "brand name
or equal" description, such identification is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, and is to indicate the quality and characteristics
of products (including products of brand name manufacturer s other than the one described by the brand name) to be considered for
award if such products are determined by the County to meet fully the salient characteristic requirements listed in the request.
Unless the offeror clearly indicates in the quotation that an "or equal" product is being offered, quotation shall be considered as offering
the brand name product specified.
If the offeror proposes to furnish an "equal" product, the brand name, if any, of the product to be furnished shall be inserted in the space
provided in the request for quotation, or such product shall be clearly identified in the quotation. The evaluation of the quotation and
the determination as to equality of the product offered shall be the responsibility of the County and will be based upon the information
furnished by the offeror, or identified in the quotation as well as other information reasonably available to the purchasing activity.

Caution to offerors: the purchasing activity is not responsible for locating or securing any information which is not identified in the
quotation and reasonably available to the purchasing activity. Accordingly, to insure that sufficient information is available, the offeror
must furnish, as part of the quotation, all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for
the purchasing activity to (i) determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristic requirements of the request for
quotation, and (ii) establish exactly what the offeror proposes to furnish and what the County is binding itself to purchase by making an
award. The information furnished may include specific references to information previously furnished or to information otherwise
available to the purchasing activity.
If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to make it conform to the requirements of the Request for Quotation, he shall (i) include
in the quotation a clear description of such modifications and (ii) clearly mark any description to show the proposed modifications.
DUTY TO INQUIRE: Should the Offeror find discrepancies in or omissions from the RFQ, plans, specifications or other documents,
or should the Offeror be in doubt as to their meaning, the Offeror must at once notify the Buyer, in writing. If the point in question is
not clearly and fully set forth, a written addendum will be issued and emailed to Offerors.

1) It must be submitted in a separate file or document marked as EXHIBIT-CONFIDENTIAL/PROPRIETARY;
2) Responses to solicitation requirements that include the confidential/proprietary information, shall refer to the response

Confidential/Proprietary"); and
3) It must include a signed Nondisclosure Indemnification Agreement (PC620).
NOTE: As a Public Agency, the County of San Diego must adhere to the California Public Records Act, therefore pricing cannot be

TERMS OF RESULTING CONTRACTS: Any contract(s) resulting from this RFQ will be based upon the Draft Agreement included
in this RFQ. The Statement of Work, Pricing Schedule, and any other exhibits will be added based upon the successful Offeror's response

beyond June 30 of the calendar year unless funds are made available for such performance.
CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE SECTION 18662: In compliance with California Revenue and Taxation code
section 18662, if you are a non resident of California (out-of-state invoices) who receives California source income, the County will pay
California Use Tax directly to the State of California per permit no. SR FH 25-632384. Fifteen
(15) business days prior to the first payment, new suppliers or suppliers with expired forms or forms with incorrect information, must

Under certain circumstances you may be eligible for reduced or waived nonresident withholding. If you have already received a waiver
or a reduced withholding response from the State of California and the response is still valid, submit the response to the County in lieu
of the forms. Failure to submit the required forms will result in withholding of payments. Refer to the Franchise Tax Board websites
(listed below) for tax forms and information on nonresident withholding, including waivers or reductions. The County will not give you
any tax advice. It is recommended you speak with your tax adviser and/or the State of California for guidance.

major shareholders;

d. Profit making firms or businesses in which the former employees described in subsection c. serve as officers, principals,
partners or major shareholders.
Contractor certifies it is not a person or entity specified above and that it will promptly notify the County in the event it becomes a

25. Indemnity. County shall not be liable for, and Contractor shall defend and indemnify County and the employees and agents of
County (collectively "County Parties"), against any and all claims, demands, liability, judgments, awards, fines, mechanics' liens
or other liens, labor disputes, losses, damages, expenses, charges or costs of any kind or character, including attorneys' fees and
court costs (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Claims"), related to this Agreement or the work covered by this Agreement
and arising either directly or indirectly from any act, error, omission or negligence of Contractor or its contractors, licensees,
agents, servants or employees, including, without limitation, Claims caused by the sole passive negligent act or the concurrent
negligent act, error or omission, whether active or passive, of County Parties. Contractor shall have no obligation, however, to
defend or indemnify County Parties from a Claim if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Claim was
caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of County Parties.
Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor's defense and indemnity obligations under this Section shall specifically apply to any
claim, suit, proceeding, demand, liability, loss, damage or expense (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) arising from or
relating to a claim that any work performed pursuant to this Agreement infringes a patent, copyright, moral right, trademark, trade
secret, or other intellectual property right of a third party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any portion of any
the same or County's use of the same is, or in Contractor's or County's opinion is likely to be, held to infringe the rights of any
third party, Contractor shall at its expense either (i) procure the right for County to use the infringing item free of any liability or
expense to County to the full extent contemplated by this Agreement; or (ii) replace it with a non-infringing equivalent reasonably
satisfactory to County. Without limiting the County's other rights and Contractor's obligations under this Section, County shall
have the right to employ counsel at its own expense for, and participate in the defense of, any claim.
26. Insurance. Contractor shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain and keep in force and effect during the term of this Agreement,
including all extensions, the insurance specified in Exhibit B Insurance Requirements. Evidence of insurance and any other
