By submitting a proposal, Proposer agrees to abide by all District Terms and Conditions.

CONTRACT PERIOD

The Contract Period shall commence on 5/9/26, and end 5/8/27. Prices and discounts shall remain firm for this period and shall include ALL freight and handling charges.

RENEWAL OPTION

By mutual consent of the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida, and the successful Bidders, this contract may be renewed for Two (2) one (1) year.

SUPPLEMENTAL UNILATERAL RENEWAL PERIODS

The District, through its Director of Purchasing, has the option and reserves the right to unilaterally extend the original contract term or any renewal term for up to three (3) additional thirty (30) day periods, at the same terms and conditions. Notice of the District’s intent to renew shall be provided by the District in writing to the Contractor Supplier prior to the expiration of the contract, or the renewal period if the contract has been previously renewed.

PRICE ESCALATION/DE-ESCALATION

The District will allow a price escalation/de-escalation provision within this award. The original bid prices shall remain firm for the first term of the agreement. A price escalation/de-escalation will be allowed at each renewal period, provided the Awardee notifies the District, in writing, of the pending price escalation/de-escalation a minimum of 60 days prior to the final day of the current term. The price escalation percentage change shall not exceed the previous 1-year’s percentage change of the Consumer

Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of

Labor Statistics. If bidding discounts from list price, discounts offered may not change. Failure to comply with these instructions shall be grounds for disallowance of a price escalation as allowed herein.

If, at the point of exercising the price escalation provision, market media indicators show that the

Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) has decreased, and that the Awardee has not passed the decrease on to the District, the District reserves the right to place the Awardee in default, cancel the award, and remove the Awardee from the District’s Bidders List for a period of time deemed suitable by the District. In the event of this occurrence, the District further reserves the right to utilize any and/or all options as stated herein.

ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTRACT TERMS & CONDITIONS NECESSITATED BY

VOLATILITY OF THE MARKETPLACE

The District may, in its sole discretion, make an equitable adjustment in the contract terms and/or pricing if pricing or availability of supply are affected by extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace, that is, by circumstances that satisfy all of the following criteria:

1. The volatility is due to causes wholly beyond the Supplier’s control https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1767644581/pcsborg/pty67uqfdi5g2pkphbrc/GeneralTermsandConditionsFINAL1222025.pdf https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1767644581/pcsborg/pty67uqfdi5g2pkphbrc/GeneralTermsandConditionsFINAL1222025.pdf

Bid# 26-BM-004

2. The volatility affects the marketplace or industry, not just the particular Supplier’s source of supply

3. The effect on pricing or availability of supply is substantial

4. The volatility so affects the Supplier that continued performance of the contract would result in substantial loss or financial hardship

The determination as to whether a situation represents “extreme” volatility of the marketplace and/or whether the effect on pricing or availability is “substantial” shall be solely at the discretion of the District.

Requests for adjustments will not be considered more than once in a one-year period. Adjustments and renewal escalation may not be exercised in the same term.

CONTRACT VALUE

For the purposes of calculating the amount of a protest bond, this contract is valued at approximately

$750,000/year, excluding renewal options. This is only an estimate and the actual amount could vary up or down. The District will not be held responsible if actual purchases are less than this amount.

PREFERENCE TO FLORIDA BUSINESSES

When a school District is required to make purchases of personal property through competitive solicitation and the lowest responsible and responsive bid, proposal or reply is by a Supplier whose principal place of business is in a state or political subdivision which grants a preference by that state or political subdivision, then the school District shall award an equal preference to the lowest responsible and responsive Bidders having a principal place of business within Florida. In a competitive solicitation in which the lowest bid is submitted by a Supplier whose principal place of business is located outside the state, and that state does not grant a preference in competitive solicitation to Suppliers having a principal place of business in that state, the preference to the lowest responsible and responsive Bidders having a principal place of business in this state shall be 5 percent. See Section 287.084 (1)(a), F.S.

A Supplier whose principal place is outside this state must accompany any written bid, proposal or reply documents with a written opinion of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in that foreign state, as to the preferences, if any or none, granted by the law of that state to its own business entities whose principal places of business are in that foreign state in the letting of any or all public contracts.
