Summary of Bid Terms and Conditions
This document outlines the standard bid terms and conditions established by Weber County Purchasing Department for competitive procurement processes. The terms govern the submission, evaluation, and award of contracts for goods and services procured by Weber County. Key procedural requirements include that all bids must be submitted on county-furnished bid forms, either in person or by facsimile transmission with advance notification to the Purchasing Agent one hour prior to the bid closing time. Bidders must submit samples free of charge if required for testing purposes, and time of delivery is considered an integral component of the bid evaluation. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, accept partial quantities, or split orders among multiple bidders unless otherwise specified by the bidder.
The terms establish that all quoted prices are firm for the complete delivery of specified quantities and that unit prices govern in cases of extension errors. Bidders must certify that they are not debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible to participate in government contracts, and must comply with Utah's Status Verification System (E-Verify) for all contracts issued through Request for Proposal processes. The document requires that contractors engaging in trades or professions requiring state licensure must maintain valid licenses before bidding. No charges for delivery, drayage, packing, insurance, or other ancillary costs will be paid by the county unless expressly itemized in the bid. The resulting contract is governed by Utah state law and Weber County ordinances.
