QUALIFICATIONS OF BIDDERS
The Owner may make such investigations as he/she deems necessary to determine the ability of
the Bidder to supply the necessary equipment, and the Bidder shall furnish to the Owner all such
information and data for the purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner reserves the right to reject
any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such Bidder fails to satisfy the Owner that such
Bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligation of the contract. Conditional bids will not be
accepted.
METHOD OF AWARD - LOWEST QUALIFIED BIDDER
If at the time this contract is to be awarded the lowest base bid submitted by a responsible
Bidder does not exceed the amount of funds, then estimated by the Owner as available to finance the
contract; the contract will be awarded on the bid. If such bid exceeds such amount, the Owner may
reject all bids or may award the contract with the lowest bid with such deductible alternatives to
produce a net amount, which is within the available funds.
Multiple awards may be made from this contract. Awards will be based on the low evaluated
Bidder per schedule.
The Owner reserves the right to determine the low Bidder by durability and maintenance costs
over the life of the product. This may be done by means of experience or research. Initial cost may not
determine low bid. In case of error or discrepancy in the mathematics of the bid price, the unit prices
shall prevail.
