Submitted hereon is the bid to provide Pre-Employment Background Investigation and Verification Services per the specifications of this IFB. Bidder shall provide rate(s) in clear, legible figures in the spaces provided. Failure to provide the required rates shall be cause for rejection of your bid.

NOTE:

1. Any quantities listed on this bid request are CHP’s estimates only and are offered as a basis for the comparison of bids. The State does not expressly or by implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith and reserves the right to omit portions of the work as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the State.

2. In the case of a discrepancy between the Unit Price (e.g., Hourly Rate, Cost per Service) and Item Total (e.g., Hourly Rate x Hours Worked = Item Total), the Unit Price shall prevail. However, if the Unit Price figure is ambiguous, illegible, uncertain, or is omitted, the Item Total shall be divided by the estimated usage (e.g., Hours Worked) to determine the Unit Price. In the case of a discrepancy between the Basis of Award and the sum of the Item Totals, the sum of the Item Totals shall prevail.

3. The Agreement is budgeted and written for Three Million One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($3,125,000.00). CHP makes no commitment, written or implied, to the number of services requested or required during the term of the Agreement. The CHP does not warranty the amount of funds that would be needed or expended. Payment will be made for actual cost per services rendered and according to the Agreement, Exhibit B.4, Rate Schedule.

Basis of Award: The “Basis of Award” is for evaluation purposes to determine the lowest bidder. Due to the nature of Pre- Employment Background Investigation and Verification Services, it is not always feasible to forecast service. Pre-Employment Background Investigation and Verification Services are utilized on an as needed basis. The number of services required can fluctuate and is unpredictable.

In the event it is anticipated that the required number of services will exceed the agreement amount, an amendment will be processed to add funds to the agreement at the same rates indicated on this bid form and in the Agreement, Exhibit B.4 Rate Schedule.

Any modification to this bid request shall render your bid non-responsive.
