STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS INVITATION TO BID Page 4

8. Standards of Quality Any product or service bid shall conform to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and the specifications contained in the solicitation. Any manufacturer’s name, trade name, brand name, or catalog number used in the specification is for the purpose of describing the standard of quality, performance, and characteristics desired; and is not intended to limit or restrict competition. Supplier must specify the brand and model number of the product offered in his bid. Bids not specifying brand and model number shall be considered as offering the exact product specified in the solicitation.

9. New Products/Warranty/Patents All products bid for purchase must be new, never previously used, of the manufacturer’s current model and/or packaging, and of best quality as measured by acceptable trade standards. No remanufactured, demonstrator, used or irregular products will be considered for purchase unless otherwise specified.

The manufacturer’s standard published warranty and provisions shall apply, unless more stringent warranties are otherwise required by LSU and specified in the solicitation. In such cases, the supplier and/or manufacturer shall honor the specified warranty requirements, and bid prices shall include any premium costs of such coverage.

Supplier guarantees that the products proposed and furnished will not infringe upon any valid patent or trademark; and shall, at its own expense, defend any and all actions or suits charging such infringement, and shall save LSU harmless.

10. Descriptive Information Suppliers proposing an equivalent brand or model are to submit with the bid descriptive information (such as literature, technical data, illustrations, etc) sufficient for LSU to evaluate quality, suitability, and compliance with the specifications. Failure to submit descriptive information may cause bid to be rejected. Any changes made by supplier to a manufacturer's published specifications shall be verifiable by the manufacturer. If items bid do not fully comply with specifications, supplier must state in what respect items deviate. Supplier’s failure to note exceptions in its bid will not relieve the supplier from supplying the actual products requested.

11. Bids/Prices/F.O.B. Point

• Bids other than F.O.B. LSU Destination may be rejected.

• Bids indicating estimated freight charges may be rejected.

• Bids requiring deposits, payment in advance, or C.O.D. terms may be rejected.

• Suppliers who do not quote “net” item prices and who separately quote an overall “lump sum” freight cost or discount for all items shall be considered as submitting an “all-or-none” bid for evaluation and award purposes; and risk rejection if award is made on an item or grouped basis.

• Prices shall be firm for acceptance for a minimum of 30 days, unless otherwise specified. Bids conditioned with shorter acceptance periods may be rejected.

• Prices are to be quoted in the unit/packaging specified (e.g. each, 12/box, etc), or may be rejected.

• In the event of extension errors, the unit price bid shall prevail.

12. Taxes Supplier is responsible for including all applicable taxes in the bid price. LSU is exempt from all Louisiana state and local sales and use taxes. By accepting an award, resident and non-resident firms acknowledge their responsibility for the payment of all taxes duly accessed by the State of Louisiana and its political subdivisions for which they are liable, including but not limited to:

franchise taxes, privilege taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, ad valorem taxes, etc.

13. Terms and Conditions This solicitation contains all terms and conditions with respect to the purchase of the goods and/or services specified herein.

Submittal of any contrary terms and conditions may cause your bid to be rejected. By signing and submitting a bid, supplier agrees that contrary terms and conditions which may be included in its bid are nullified.

14. Supplier Forms/LSU Signature Authority The terms and conditions of the LSU solicitation and purchase order/contract shall solely govern the purchase agreement, and shall not be amended by any supplier contract, form, etc.

The University’s chief procurement officer, or authorized designee, is delegated sole authority to execute/sign any supplier contracts, forms, etc, on behalf of LSU. Departments are expressly prohibited from signing any supplier forms. Any such supplier contracts/forms bearing unauthorized signatures shall be null and void, shall have no legal force, and shall not be recognized by LSU in any dispute arising therefrom. Suppliers who present any such forms to department users for signature without regard to this strict LSU policy may face contract cancellation, suspension, and/or debarment.

15. Awards Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive supplier. LSU reserves the right: (1) to award items separately, grouped, or on an all-or-none basis, as deemed in its best interest; (2) to reject any or all bids and/or items; and (3) to waive any informalities.

All solicitation specifications, terms and conditions shall be made part of any subsequent award as if fully reproduced and included therein, unless specifically amended in the formal contract.

Until such assessed surcharges have been paid, no subsequent bids from the defaulting supplier will be considered for award.

LSU TERM CONTRACT – TERMS & CONDITIONS

A “Term Contract” is defined as an agreement with a supplier to provide specified goods and/or services on an as-needed basis at established prices, terms and conditions during a specific period of time (or term), and does not guarantee usage.

Term Contract purchase orders (PO) issued serve as a binding contract with LSU.

1. Scope of Contract This solicitation is issued to establish a term contract for the specified goods and/or services for the period beginning ____________________ and ending ____________________, in accordance with all specifications, terms, and conditions.

2. Initial Contract Period LSU intends to award all items for the initial contract period specified above. Award delays beyond the anticipated contract begin date may result in an initial award less than the specified contract period.

3. Contract Renewals/Extensions At the option of LSU and acceptance by the Supplier, this contract may be renewed for _________ additional ____________ month periods, or extended in partial increments thereof, at the same prices, terms and conditions of the original contract award.

4. Estimated Quantities Solicitation quantities shown are estimated only and may be based on historical contract usage and/or projected needs; where usage is not available, a quantity of one (1) indicates a lack of history on this item. Suppliers are cautioned that regardless of the quantity shown in the solicitation, LSU shall not be obligated under the contract to purchase any specific or minimum amount. Supplier must supply any order requirements at the bid/contract prices, whether the total of such requirements are more or less than the estimated quantities shown.

5. Firm Pricing Contract prices shall remain firm for the duration of the contract term; and no price increases will be allowed, unless escalation/de-escalation provisions are specifically provided for herein. Prices may not exceed the current nationally advertised and available General Services Administration (GSA) Price Schedule if one exists.

LSU is a member of the National Association of Educational Procurement (NAEP) and the E & I Cooperative Purchasing Service.

6. Insurance Requirements If an automobile is utilized in the execution of the contract, including deliveries made with company owned, hired, and/or non-owned vehicles, Supplier shall be required to furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing coverages per attached insurance requirements. The Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College shall be named as an additional insured on all liability policies.

7. Supplier Parking on the LSU Campus – Permits & Gate Passes LSU A & M Campus: Suppliers needing access to reserved, gated “C” parking lots or to controlled access streets in the center of campus for logistics in performing business with LSU, must apply for gate passes through the LSU Office of Parking & Transportation Services (PTS). Visit the LSU/PTS website at www.lsu.edu/parking and the “Parking & Permits” webpage for details.

Other Campuses: For parking information, contact Buyer-Of-Record for instruction or refer to specific campus parking instructions.

8. Supplier Non-Performance Supplier is required to perform in strict accordance with all contract specifications, terms, and conditions. Supplier will be advised in writing of non-performance issues and shall be required to promptly implement corrective actions to ensure contract compliance and to prevent recurrences. In the event supplier nonperformance is deemed severe, LSU reserves the right at its sole discretion to suspend supplier and cancel the contract with a ten (10) day written notice. Contract cancellations due to non-performance may be cause to deem the supplier non-responsible in future solicitations.

9. Contract Amendments Requests for contract changes must be made in writing by an authorized agent/signatory of the supplier and submitted to LSU Procurement Services for prior approval. Requests shall include detailed justification and supporting documentation for the proposed amendment.

Contract revisions shall be effective only upon approval by LSU Procurement Services and issuance of a formal LSU Contract Amendment or PO Change Order. The supplier shall honor purchase orders issued prior to the approval of any contract amendment as applicable.

10. Price Reductions Whenever price reductions are made by the Supplier/Manufacturer during the LSU contract term, and which are offered to similarly-situated customers [i.e. those contracting under similar terms, conditions, periods, etc], and which are lower than LSU contract prices, said reductions shall be afforded to LSU.

Supplier shall give prompt written notice to LSU Procurement Services of any such price reduction and effective date for issuance of a formal contract amendment. Price reductions must be offered to all departments. Suppliers found to have knowledgably and willfully withheld such price reductions may be required to reimburse LSU of any overcharges.

11. Product Substitutions Only those awarded brands and numbers, furnished in the packaging/units of measure and at the unit prices stated in the LSU contract, are approved for order, receipt, and payment purposes. Unauthorized product substitutions are subject to rejection at time of delivery, post-return at Supplier’s expense, and non-payment.

By submitting a bid, Suppliers are expected to have sound supplier agreements in place to support and responsibly perform their contractual term obligations with LSU. Unless discontinued by the manufacturer without replacement, Suppliers are expected to honor the awarded brands/numbers throughout the contract term. Substitution requests based merely on the Supplier’s own elective change to another supplier may be disapproved at the sole discretion of LSU Procurement Services.

Departments are not authorized to approve or accept product substitutions without Procurement Services’ approval. Suppliers who act without regard to this procedure may face contract cancellation, suspension, and/or debarment.

12. Right to Add Department/Campus Users Where this solicitation may name one department as the primary contract user, LSU reserves the right to authorize additional departments/campuses to use the contract as their needs arise; and Supplier shall honor all such purchase orders.

13. Non-Exclusivity This agreement is non-exclusive and shall in no way preclude LSU from entering into similar agreements and/or arrangements with other Suppliers or from acquiring similar, equal, or like goods and/or services from other entities or sources.

14. Contract Usage Report The Supplier shall keep records of all purchases under this contract and shall be prepared to furnish a contract usage report to LSU upon request at any time during the contract term. Contract usage reports must minimally capture and report the following: item numbers and brief item descriptions; total quantities and dollars for each item subtotaled by using department names; and overall contract quantities and dollars.

15. Contract Evaluation LSU Procurement Services welcomes suggestions for contract improvements to effectively meet the needs of the departments we serve. Department feedback relative to the incumbent Supplier’s performance will be requested for consideration when determining our contract options for renewal or re-solicitation. Supplier performance will be monitored for compliance with contract terms and conditions, and reports of deficient performance will be appropriately addressed with the Supplier.
