BID SCHEDULE

Pricing must be submitted using Attachment “A.” Alternate pricing forms may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

A. Provide “will call” pricing only (no delivery; the City will pick up the product).

1. Cost per gallon of tack oil

2. A cost factor of $6.78 per mile, which will be added to the bid price per gallon. This factor accounts for:

o Fuel costs (round trip) o Labor costs, including wages and benefits o Vehicle wear and tear (round trip)

GUARANTEE OF BID PRICE

The Bidder shall guarantee the pick-up cost per ton for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of bid opening. This price will be used as the unit cost listed on a resulting Purchase Order(s).

Any future price increase / decreases past the thirty (30) calendar days shall be negotiated with the originally awarded vendor if the City is unable to pick up the entire purchase (tons) as listed above within the 30-days after award. Negotiated pricing shall only apply to the amount of product that has not been picked up by the City. If the City is unsuccessful in their negotiations, the City will solicit bids for this product.

AWARD

Award of a purchase order will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible qualified bidder that meets or exceeds the bid specifications and provides the lowest bid pricing. However, in the event that the awarded vendor is unable to supply the required product within the specified timeframe or in the required quantity, the City reserves the right to procure from the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This process may continue as necessary to ensure uninterrupted supply of goods or services. The

City does not guarantee to make any purchase based upon this IFB.
