Instructions:
All bidders must be an authorized dealer of the items listed. The winning bidder will be required to provide proof they are an authorized dealer. Unauthorized quotes will be deemed "Non-Responsive" and will not be considered for award. Any award as a result of this RFQ will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and shall be on a lump sum basis, in accordance with the requirements in this RFQ.
In accordance with the California Public Contract Code Section 3400, reference to any equipment, material, article or patented process, by trade name, make, or catalog number, shall not be construed as limiting competition. In those cases where the specifications call for a designated material, product, or service by specific brand or trade name and there is only one brand or trade name listed, the item involves a unique or novel product application required to be used in the public interest or is the only brand or trade name known to the Authority. Where the specifications or drawings identify any material, product or service by one or more brand names, whether or not “or equal” is added, and the bidder wishes to propose the use of another item as being equal, approval shall be requested as set forth below.
All questions, clarifications, or comments, including questions regarding approved equals, must be put in writing and must be received by the Authority no later than 5:00 p.m., February 20, 2019.
Requests for clarifications, questions, and comments must be clearly labeled "Written Questions." The Authority is not responsible for failure to respond to a request that has not been labeled as such.
