It is the State's policy to make every effort to ensure that all bids have been received and properly time stamped; however, bidders are ultimately responsible for ensuring timely receipt of their bid. Bidders may verify receipt of their bid by contacting the person identified in the cover letter of this IFB prior to the Public Bid Opening.

Bidders are solely responsible for understanding the scope of work and all requirements, terms, conditions, evaluation criteria, etc., before submitting a bid.

If the language is unclear or ambiguous, it is the bidder’s responsibility to request clarification or assistance before submitting a bid. Please note that no verbal information will be binding upon the State unless the State issues such information in writing as an official addendum. If the IFB is modified prior to the final bid submission date, the State will issue an addendum to all bidders that received a bid package.

A bidder may modify a bid after its submission by withdrawing the original bid and resubmitting a new bid prior to the bid submission deadline. Bidder modifications offered in any other manner, oral or written, will not be considered.

The bidder’s bid may be withdrawn from consideration by submitting a written withdrawal request to the State, signed by the bidder or an authorized agent.

The bid is binding once it is submitted and opened by the State and may not be withdrawn without cause.

By virtue of submitting a bid, the bidder is accepting the terms and conditions expressed herein. Costs incurred for developing bids and in anticipation of award of the Agreement are the responsibility of the bidder and shall not be charged to the State.

The State reserves the right to request clarification of any documents submitted with this bid regarding any and/or all sections of the IFB. Bidder must meet all submittal requirements specified in the IFB for the State to consider a clarification.

VI. CAUSE FOR REJECTION OF BID

Bids that are not properly marked may be disregarded. All completed bids and required documents shall be packaged and submitted in a sealed envelope to the address specified in the section entitled “Bid Submission Requirements”. The sealed envelope must be clearly marked "BID FOR Condiments - AGREEMENT

NO. 6000001957 Attention: Kevin Arredondo - DO NOT OPEN." Failure to do so may result in the premature opening of, or failure to open, your bid.

Bid packages downloaded from the Internet will not include a preprinted envelope; however, bids must be submitted in the manner described above and MUST identify the contract analyst.

All required documents listed in the Bid Submittal Checklist should be included within the sealed bid package. Failure to submit the required documentation may be cause for rejection of your bid.

No bid will be considered unless it is made on the Bid Proposal (Exhibit B) or facsimile and is in conformance with the submission requirements of this IFB.

The bid must be submitted for the entire activity described herein. The State does not accept alternate contract language from a prospective bidder. A bid with such language will be considered a counter proposal and will be rejected.

Additionally, bids may be rejected if the bid proposal shows any alterations of form, additions not called for, a conditioned or incomplete bid, or erasures and/or irregularities of any kind. Any bid amounts changed after the amounts are originally inserted MUST be initialed in ink by the bidder.

Under California Penal Code Section 5005, “the Director (of CDCR) shall specify what commodities shall be sold in the Inmate Canteens.” Items specified in this IFB are non-negotiable. No substitutes will be accepted.

The State is not required to award an Agreement and reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any immaterial deviations in the bid. The State’s waiver of an immaterial deviation shall in no way modify the IFB document or excuse the bidder from full compliance with all requirements if awarded the Agreement.

VII. PUBLIC BID OPENING

If you are planning to attend the public bid opening, you must notify the contact person listed in the cover letter of this IFB at least five (5) working days before the bid opening date specified in Section I – Projected Timetable. If you and/or your representative require reasonable accommodation to participate in the public bid opening, you must contact the contract analyst identified in this package and identify what reasonable accommodation(s) is required for you to participate.

At the time of the public bid opening, the dollar amount of each bid shall be read.

The contract award is subject to a complete review of the entire bid proposal for compliance and adherence to the IFB requirements and verification of all calculations.

VIII. DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DVBE) PROGRAM

This IFB is exempt from the DVBE requirement. However, the State is committed to achieving legislatively established goals for the participation of DVBEs in all state contracting and seeks to use certified DVBE business whenever possible. Therefore, the State requests your voluntary participation in reporting any certified DVBEs, including yourself, that will be used in the performance of this Agreement.

IX. NONRESPONSIBLE BIDDER

If a previous Agreement with a prospective bidder was terminated for cause, the State reserves the right to hold a responsibility hearing before awarding the Agreement to determine if the bidder is responsible. The bid may be rejected if the State deems, at the conclusion of the responsibility hearing, that the bidder is not responsible.

X. SUBMISSION OF SAMPLE BY LOWEST BIDDER / INSPECTION OF SAMPLE

Within five (5) working days of notification, the lowest bidder must submit one (1) case sample of each product in the size and packaging as specified in the Scope of Work (Exhibit A). The case sample and products within must be submitted as the institutions’ canteens will receive them. The packaging will be inspected to ensure that the bid requirements are met. Failure to submit the required product samples or comply with the packaging requirements will result in rejection of the bid.

Samples of required products must be furnished at the bidder’s expense. All samples submitted in response to this IFB will become the property of the State of California. Product samples must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on the 5th working day from the date of notification as specified in these instructions at the following address:

XII. AGREEMENT EXECUTION

The contract will be executed only upon the State's acceptance of the Contractor's certificates of insurance, licenses and permits when such items are required. Should the Contractor fail to commence work at the agreed-upon date and time, CDCR, upon five (5) days written notice to the Contractor, reserves the right to terminate the Agreement.

The successful bidder shall enter into a contract with CDCR, which will be prepared on a State of California Standard Agreement (STD 213 form, sample attached), and shall include from this IFB Exhibits A, B, B-1, C, D, E, F, and G.

The Agreement will not include a hard copy of the Contractor Certification Clauses (CCC). The CCC may be downloaded from the Internet at http://www.documents.dgs.ca.gov/ols/CCC-307.doc and printed for your files. An original, signed copy of all pages of the CCC must be submitted to CDCR.

C. CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

The contractor must ensure that any and all subcontractors meet all State requirements. The contractor is responsible for any and all sub-contracted work.

The contractor MUST supply the brands, sizes, and packaging as stipulated in this contract, for a two-year fixed period. There will be no substitution of brands, sizes or packaging unless the brands, sizes or packaging become unavailable (discontinued) to the Contractor by the manufacturer. The Contractor must request in writing, a brand, size or packaging substitution at the original contract price. The CDCR reserves the right to accept or reject a brand, size or packaging substitution. The contractor must submit the written request to:

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Inmate Accounting Branch Attention: Charlotte Enriquez P.O. Box 187017 Sacramento, CA 95818 Email: Charlotte.Enriquez@cdcr.ca.gov

The written request MUST include a manufacturer’s written notification of product change or discontinuance, Contractor’s recommendation for a comparable product, AND product and packaging samples. Unless waived, the written request MUST be submitted at least 30 days prior to the brand, size or packaging becoming unavailable. If the Contractor fails to notify CDCR at least 30 days prior to the brand, size or packaging becoming unavailable, CDCR reserves the right to cancel the contract.

At no time will CDCR pay more than the original contract price for a substituted brand, size or packaging.

Should the Contractor recommend a brand, size or packaging substitution that has a lower manufacturer’s list price, the Contractor shall provide the substituted brand, size or packaging at a correspondingly lower contract mailto:Charlotte.Enriquez@cdcr.ca.gov

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) Exhibit A price. Should the Contractor recommend a brand, size or packaging substitution that has a higher manufacturer’s list price, the Contractor shall provide the brand, size or packaging at the original contract price.

All products and/or cases MUST be date stamped to meet industry standards and have a shelf life of at least

(6) six months. All products or multi-packs MUST be individually bar coded. Bar codes CANNOT be changed without notifying the Inmate Accounting Branch (IAB) in writing at the address above. Notification must occur at least 30 days prior to the bar code change. Failure to notify may result in lengthy delays in payment without penalty to the State.

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to hire or contract for carriers who will maintain a fleet of trucks that can pass a vehicle inspection and employ drivers who can pass a California Law Enforcement Telecommunications (CLETS) check. All Contractor personnel (including any subcontractors) MUST receive security clearances from the institution by providing the full names of all personnel, their dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers. Gate clearance policies vary from institution to institution; however, a minimum of ten (10) working days’ notice MUST be given to each institution.
