All Bidders are advised, however, that proposals that substantially deviate from the specifications and terms as set forth in this RFP may be rejected. Further, VIPA reserves the right to reject any proposal which does not provide that the Bidder will agree to changes in its contemplated manner of operations if VIPA deems such action to be reasonable necessary during the term of the Contract to be awarded.

B. PROPOSAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

AWARD: VIPA reserves the right to reject any and all proposals received as a result of this RFP. If a proposal is selected it will be the most advantageous regarding price (See: "Low Bidder" following), quality of service, the Bidders' qualifications and capabilities to provide the specified service, and other factors which VIPA may consider. VIPA reserves the right to waive or not waive informalities or irregularities in bids or bidding procedures, and to accept or further negotiate cost, terms, or conditions of any bid determined to be in the best interests of the VIPA even though not the lowest bid. VIPA intends to award the entire contract to a single bidder. It may be to VIPA’s advantage to award to more than one bidder. If it is divided between bidders VIPA intends to award individual Parts (A thru D) to individual bidders. A given line item will not be split between Bidders. LOW BIDDER: Low Bidder will be based on lowest price on the items listed on the Bid Sheets either in total or by Parts (A thru D). TERM OF CONTRACT: The contract will be for a three (3) year period from the date of award. All terms and conditions will remain unchanged through the life of the contract, including all prices. If there is a manufacturer price increase during the term, any price increase has to be submitted in writing to the Purchasing Supervisor at least one month before the price

DELIVERY: If the Department requests next day delivery the Bidder will be able to supply the needed items by the following day. For example if VIPA puts in the order by 3:00 PM on Monday then the delivery TIME would be before 12:00 NOON on Tuesday. Please state any variation to this schedule on page 20.

Orders are placed usually on a biweekly or weekly schedule. It is possible that a rush order will be placed outside of this general schedule.
