Purchasing Department assumes no responsibility for late bid responses that occur due to the
U.S. Postal Service or private courier service.

For a “no-bid” response, return the signature page signed and marked “no bid”. Non-response
may result in removal from active bidders list.
The attached specifications are being provided to potential bidders as guidelines that describe
the type and quality of equipment, supply, and/or service the City of Decatur is seeking to

bidder beyond a fiscal year is contingent upon continued legislative appropriation of funds for
the purpose of this bid and any resulting agreement. Non availability of funds at any time shall
cause any agreement to become void and unenforceable and no liquidated damages shall
accrue to the City as a result. The City will not incur liability beyond the payment of accrued
agreement payment.
Descriptive Literature: Reference to brand names and numbers is not restrictive, unless
otherwise specified. Bids on equivalent items meeting the standards of quality indicated will be
considered, providing the bid clearly describes the item offered and indicates how it differs
from the referenced brands. Descriptive literature on any supplemental information necessary
for comparison purposes shall be submitted with the bid or the Purchasing Agent may reject
the bid for that item. Reference to literature submitted with a previous bid, or on file with the
Purchasing Department will not satisfy this requirement.
