INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ) REVIEW: Offerors shall carefully review this RFQ for defects and questionable or
objectionable material. Offerors' comments concerning defects and questionable or objectionable material in the RFQ
must be made in writing and received by the purchasing authority before the date and time set for receipt of quotes. This
will allow time for an amendment to be issued if one is required. It will also help prevent the opening of a defective quote,
upon which award cannot be made, and the resultant exposure of offerors' prices. Offerors' original comments should be
sent to the purchasing authority listed on the front of this RFQ.
2. QUOTATION FORMS: Offerors shall use this and attached forms in submitting quotes. A photocopied quote may be
submitted.
3. SUBMISSION: Quotations shall be signed where applicable and received at the designated Purchasing Office no later
than as indicated.

waive defects or minor informalities.
5. EXTENSION OF PRICES: In case of error in the extension of prices in the quote, the unit prices will govern; in a lot bid,
the lot prices will govern. Negligence by the vendor in preparing the quotation confers no right for the withdrawal of the
quotation after it has been opened.
6. ALASKA PROCUREMENT CODE: The Procurement Code (AS.36.30) and its Regulations (2 AAC Ch. 12), are made a part
of this document as if fully set forth herein. Note: AS.36.30 and 2 AAC Ch. 12 are available at most public libraries and
legislative information offices; and both are available for review at Alaska State Purchasing Offices.
7. PRICES: The offeror shall state prices in the units of issue on this RFQ. Prices quoted for commodities must be in U.S.
funds and include applicable federal duty, brokerage fees, packaging, and transportation cost to the FOB point so that
upon transfer of title the commodity can be utilized without further cost. Prices quoted for services must be quoted in
U.S. funds and include applicable federal duty, brokerage fee, packaging, and transportation cost so that the services can
be provided without further cost. Prices quoted must be exclusive of federal, state, and local taxes. If the offeror believes
that certain taxes are payable by the State, the offeror may list such taxes separately, directly below the bid price for the
affected item. The State is exempt from Federal Excise Tax except the following:
* Coal - Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC), Section 4121 - on the purchase of coal;
* "Gas Guzzler" - IRC, Section 4064 - on the purchase of low m.p.g. automobiles, except that police and other

services provided to a State agency, will be made within 30 days of the receipt of a proper billing or the delivery of the
goods or services to the location(s) specified in the agreement, whichever is later. A late payment is subject to 1.5%
interest per month on the unpaid balance. Interest will not be paid if there is a dispute or if there is an agreement which
establishes a lower interest rate or precludes the charging of interest.
9. PAYMENT DISCOUNT: Discounts for prompt payment will not be considered in evaluating the price you quote.
However, the State shall be entitled to take advantage of any payment discount(s) offered by the vendor provided
payment is made within the discount period. Payment discount periods will be computed from the date of receipt of the
commodities or services and/or a correct invoice, whichever is later. Unless freight and other charges are itemized, any
discount provided will be taken on full amount of invoice.

provided to the State of Alaska before payment will be made.

against any claim of, or liability for error, omission or negligent act of the Contractor under this agreement. The Contractor
shall not be required to indemnify the contracting agency for a claim of, or liability for, the independent negligence of the
contracting agency. If there is a claim of, or liability for, the joint negligent error or omission of the Contractor and the
independent negligence of the Contracting agency, the indemnification and hold harmless obligation shall be apportioned
on a comparative fault basis. "Contractor" and "Contracting agency", as used within this and the following article, include
the employees, agents and other contractors who are directly responsible, respectively, to each. The term "independent
negligence" is negligence other than in the Contracting agency's selection, administration, monitoring, or controlling of
the Contractor and in approving or accepting the Contractor's work.
12. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this contract is declared by a court to be illegal or in conflict with any law, the validity
of the remaining terms and provisions shall not be affected; and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced as if the contract did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid.
13. TITLE: Title passes to the State for each item at FOB destination.
14. FILING A PROTEST: An offeror shall attempt to informally resolve a dispute with the procurement officer regarding a
small procurement. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the vendor may protest the solicitation or the award of a small
procurement contract under AS 36.30.320. The protest must be filed in writing with the commissioner of the purchasing
agency or the commissioner's designee and include the following information: (1) the name, address, and telephone
number of the protester; (2) the signature of the protester or the protester's representative; (3) identification of the

shall be new, unused, and of the latest edition, version, model or crop and of recent manufacture.
17. SPECIFICATIONS: Unless otherwise specified in the RFQ, product brand names or model numbers are examples of the
type and quality of product required, and are not statements of preference. If the specifications describing an item conflict
with a brand name or model number describing the item, the specifications govern. Reference to brand name or number
does not preclude an offer of a comparable or better product, if full specifications and descriptive literature are provided
for the product. Failure to provide such specifications and descriptive literature may be cause for rejection of the offer.
18. FIRM OFFER: For the purpose of award, offers made in accordance with this RFQ must be good and firm for a period
of ninety (90) days from the date of quote opening.
19. QUOTE PREPARATION COSTS: The State is not liable for any costs incurred by the offeror in quote preparation.

notify the bidder that it will disclose the information unless the bidder convinces the State not to or obtains an
order prohibiting disclosure.
