Phone: (770) 278-7557 E-mail: Adrienne.m.brown@rockdalecountyga.gov

To maintain a “level playing field”, and to assure that all proposers receive the same information, proposers are requested NOT to contact anyone other than the contact above until after the award of the contract. Doing so could result in disqualification of the proposer.

PROPOSAL COPIES FOR EVALUATION:

Technical Proposal:

One (1) hard copy, one (1) original hard copy, and one (1) USB Flash Drive in Adobe PDF format will be required for review purposes. (Original must be clearly marked “Original” and the Copies clearly marked “Copies.”).

Price Proposal:

One (1) hard copy of the price proposal form is required to be submitted in a separate sealed envelope labeled “Proposal Form”. A copy of the Proposal Form must also be included on the USB Flash Drive.

CONTRACT TERM:

The Contract Term will be (1) year with the option to renew two (2) additional one-year terms, unless cancelled in writing 30 days before the end of current term.

Because this contract contains two (2) renewal periods and the price of materials is subject to change from year to year, it is appropriate to allow the Contractor to offer price increases prior to the renewal of the contract for the following year. Therefore, 90 days prior to the end of the contract, the Contractor will advise the County mailto:Adrienne.m.brown@rockdalecountyga.gov in writing of their desire to renew the contract and will provide the County with an updated price list (this should be the same price list from the original bid with any necessary additions that became evident during the previous year's operations). The County will review the price increases and if necessary, negotiate with the Contractor to finalize pricing. Once both parties have agreed to the contract extension pricing, the County will prepare an Amendment to the original contract outlining the extension period, the new pricing that has been approved by both parties, and any other changes to the contract that become necessary to improve the operational effectiveness of the Agreement.
