JSD STANDARD CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS,

EXCEPTIONS, AND NEGOTIATIONS

A contract or purchase order(s) that result from this IFB will include Jordan School District’s Standard Terms and Conditions (“Standard Terms and Conditions”). It is the responsibility of the Bidders to review the Standard Terms and Conditions, whether attached to this IFB (see Attachment A) or at purchasing.jordandistrict.org.

Exceptions and/or additions to the Standard Terms and Conditions are strongly discouraged. However, Bidders requesting exceptions and/or additions to the Standard Terms and Conditions must submit their requests with the bid. Exceptions and/or additions submitted after the date and time for receipt of the IFB will not be considered. Bidders may not submit requests for exceptions and/or additions by reference to a Bidder’s website or URL. URLs provided with a bid may result in that bid being rejected as non-responsive.

Jordan School District may refuse to negotiate exceptions and/or additions that are determined to be excessive; that are inconsistent with similar JSD contracts; to warranties, insurance, or indemnification provisions that are necessary to protect JSD after consultation with the Attorney General’s Office or other applicable legal counsel; where the solicitation specifically prohibits exceptions and/or additions; or that are not in the best interest of JSD.

If negotiations are required, Bidder must provide all documents in Microsoft Word format for redline editing. Bidder must also provide the name, contact information, and access to the person(s) that will be directly involved in legal negotiations.

Any mandatorily required acceptance of a Bidder’s terms and conditions may result in the proposal being determined to be non-responsive.

An award resulting from this IFB is subject to successful contract terms and conditions negotiation (if required). Jordan School District, at its sole discretion, will determine when contract terms and conditions negotiations become unproductive and will result in termination of award to that Bidder, at which point JSD may move to the next eligible Bidder.

BOYCOTT RESTRICTIONS

In accordance with Utah Code 63G-27-102, vendors contracting with JSD to provide any good or service, including supplies, information technology, or construction services, must certify they are not currently engaged in an “economic boycott” nor a “boycott of the State of Israel” as those terms are defined in that Code section. Vendors must also agree not to engage in either boycott for the duration of the contract (if awarded). For example, a vendor may not, without an ordinary business purpose, boycott: the State of Israel or companies engaged in activities related to traditional energy, mining, or agriculture; companies engaged in the manufacture, distribution, sale, or use of firearms; companies that do not meet environmental standards beyond applicable State and Federal laws; or companies that do not facilitate access to abortion or sex characteristic surgeries. If a vendor does engage in such a boycott, it must immediately notify the public entity party to the contract in writing.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Liquidated damages for a missed deadline are set at One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per day for each and every calendar day past the completion date. This amount is not to be construed in any way as a penalty but as reimbursement to JSD for actual or expected losses suffered as a direct result of a missed deadline.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Any manufacturer’s name, trade name, brand name, or catalog number used in the provided specifications are for illustrative purposes only, to provide a model describing general performance and quality levels. Such references are not intended to be restrictive, and quotes are invited on these and comparable brands or products by any manufacturer. Any specification provided with use of manufacturer’s name, trade name, brand name, or catalog number shall control and take precedence over such manufacturer information. However, in the absence of a specification, the manufacturer’s name, trade name, brand name, or catalog number shall establish the general performance and quality levels acceptable to the Jordan School District. All items will be evaluated on an “acceptable substitute” basis unless stated otherwise.
