Provide a separate document entitled “List of Redacted Trade Secret Information” which provides a succinct list of all trade secret information noted in your Bid; listed in the order it appears in your submittal documents, identified by Page #, Section #/Paragraph #, Title of Section/Paragraph, specific portions of text/illustrations; or in a manner otherwise sufficient to allow the State’s procurement personnel to determine the precise text/material subject to the notation. Additionally, this list must identify with each notation the specific basis for your position that the material be treated as exempt from disclosure.

AWARD

Award will be made “all to one” to the responsive responsible Bidder with the lowest Total Cost, as provided on Attachment 3 - Bid Schedule attached in IPRO. ITD reserves the right to award in the best interest of the State.

Acceptance Upon receipt, the Plows shall be inspected by the ITD Maintenance Services Manager or designee to ensure the minimum specifications are met. Acceptance shall occur fourteen (14) calendar days after delivery, unless ITD has notified the Contractor in writing that the product delivered does not meet the minimum specifications. If ITD determines that the Plows are not in accordance with the specifications, ITD shall provide the Contractor with a written notification. The Contractor must pick-up, correct any discrepancies, and re-deliver to the ITD specified location at the Contractor’s expense. The timeframe for completion of corrective action must not exceed thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of written notification from ITD.

ORDERs Orders will be placed on an as needed basis by ITD via an ITD purchase order (Order). The Contractor must confirm receipt of each Order and provide an estimated delivery date within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving the Order from ITD. Each Order will indicate the quantity and Delivery Location for the Plow(s).

changes/amendments Either party may, at any time by a written request, request changes to the Contract. The party requesting the change must complete the Change Request Form (see Exhibit 2, below), providing all details for the change. The party receiving the Change Request Form must confirm receipt and provide feedback regarding any desired changes to the request.

If the Change Request consists solely of plan, timeline, schedule, or key personnel changes; or which otherwise acts to clarify the roles and responsibilities or modify the activities within the scope of the Contract, without an impact on cost, the ITD CMT is authorized to negotiate and execute the Change Request Form with the Contractor.

If the Change Request directly or indirectly increases the monetary obligations of the State, expands the scope of the Contract, changes contract requirements or terms and conditions or extends the Contract term, a formal Amendment will be issued by the State. The ITD CMT will submit the drafted Change Request Form to the State’s Contract Administration Team (CAT) for review. Any Amendment must be in writing and mutually agreed upon by both parties. No amendment will be effective until executed by the Department of Administration. An Amendment not executed in compliance with the section may be void pursuant to Idaho Code, Section 67-9213, and may cause the entire Contract to be void.

dELIVERY ITD desires delivery of the Plows within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after receipt of each Order. Deliveries must be made Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 3:00 pm local time (per Delivery Location), excluding state of Idaho recognized holidays, unless otherwise approved by ITD.

ASSEMBLY

The Plows must be assembled and adjusted when delivered to the ITD location specified. All equipment, including standard and supplemental equipment, must be installed as per the manufacturer’s specifications, and serviced and ready for continuous operation at the time of delivery, unless otherwise stated in this ITB.

AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR

Submitting vendors must be an authorized distributor or manufacturer of the Plows offered. An authorized distributor shall be defined as a company or organization that has a written agreement with the manufacturer to sell or service its products. Bids from Contractors who are not an authorized distributor by the manufacturer shall not be considered.

Records Maintenance Contractor shall maintain or supervise the maintenance of all records necessary to properly account for all payments made to the Contractor pursuant to the Contract. These records shall be retained by the Contractor for at least three (3) years after the Contract terminates, or until all audits initiated within the three (3) years have been completed, whichever is later.

Audit Rights The Contractor agrees to allow State and Federal auditors and State purchasing staff access to all the records relating to this Contract, for audit, inspection, and monitoring of services or performance. Such access will be during normal business hours or by appointment.

price adjustment clause Prices must be firm for six (6) months from the effective date of the Contract. The Contractor may request a price adjustment up to two (2) times per year thereafter. If a price increase is requested, it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to notify DOP thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the desired effective date and provide supporting documentation showing industry wide increases justifying the request. DOP will notify Contractor whether the request is approved within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the request.

If price decreases become effective for the Contractor, ITD will be given immediate benefit of the price decrease on the date the price decrease becomes available to the Contractor.

At any time during the Contract, ITD may request supporting documentation from the Contractor for price verification of the Plows. The requested documentation must be provided directly from the manufacturer. This requirement will help ensure that the ITD is receiving the most current pricing offered.

Contractor(s) will have fourteen (14) calendar days to provide current price information, for verification by ITD, prior to any price increase. If the Contractor cannot meet this deadline, the current contract prices will govern and remain in effect until pricing can be verified.

Contract pricing will be adjusted via an amendment to the Contract.

Tariff Costs If the President of the United States, the United States Congress, Customs and Border Protection, or any other federal entity authorized by law, imposes an import duty or tariff (a “tariff”) on an imported good that results in an increase in Contractor’s costs to a level that renders performance under this Agreement impracticable, Contractor may be permitted to add up to fifty percent (50%) of the actual cost it incurs due to tariffs to its invoices submitted to the State, subject to the following conditions:

Contractor shall notify the Agency of the maximum cost of tariffs and obtain the Agency’s written approval. The Agency shall not be obligated to pay costs associated with tariffs for which the Agency did not provide prior written approval, or which exceeds the approved maximum. Contractor may provide notification of maximum tariffs on a case-by-case basis (for each order) or may provide blanket or time-bound notification (e.g., maximum for any orders placed for the next six (6) months).

Contractor shall take reasonable steps to avoid or minimize incurring tariffs and may be asked to provide a certification confirming its efforts to the State.

Contractor may only invoice for the actual costs incurred due to tariffs, even if that amount is less than the agreed upon maximum.

Contractor shall provide evidence documenting the actual cost and applicability of tariffs, which may include country of origin, order/delivery dates, official tariff rates, declared value, etc.

Any material misrepresentation of fact by Contractor relating in any way to an increase in pricing due to tariffs is a default under this Contract and shall be subject to the remedies set forth herein, in addition to any other claim or remedy available to the State. Furthermore, any material misrepresentation of fact by Contractor relating in any way to the State’s payment of additional sums due to tariffs shall be fraud against the taxpayers of the State and grounds for the Contractor to be deemed non-responsible and/or disqualified from participation in future solicitations administered by the State.

contract closeout ITD’s CMT will initiate its contract closeout procedures upon completion of the total Contract term. The closeout procedure will consist of ITD completing a closeout checklist to ensure all obligations have been fulfilled, all disputes are resolved, and all payments have been complete.

ITD’s CMT will provide an initial closeout letter to the Contractor with at least a thirty (30) calendar day advance notification. This notification will serve as a reminder that the contract is reaching its completion, giving an opportunity for the Contractor to return complete any outstanding Orders.

All Orders sent to the Contractor prior to the end of the Contract term must be delivered, even if services are performed beyond the Contract term. Any Orders placed prior to the expiration will still be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Contract at the time of expiration or termination.

Upon completion of the contract term, and after ITD confirms that all obligations have been met, all Orders have been delivered, disputes are resolved, and all payments are complete, ITD’s CMT will provide a final closeout letter confirming that the contract is complete and has been closed out. Copies of the letters will be provided to the Contractor and the State’s CAT for documentation and record keeping purposes.

RESPONSIBILITIES PURSUANT TO IDAPA 38.05.01.081

The ITB Lead may, in the State’s sole discretion, require the apparent lowest responsive Bidder’s to provide documentation to demonstrate its responsibility. The ITB Lead may request documentation including, but not limited to credit or financial reports, and references. Failure to provide requested documentation may result in the Bidder’s being deemed non-responsible. Nothing herein shall prevent the State from using other means to determine Bidder’s responsibility.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

See Appendix B – Insurance Requirements on the Questions Tab in IPRO.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

During the performance of the Contract, the parties agree that it is in their mutual interest to resolve disputes informally. Any claims by the Vendor shall be submitted in writing to ITD’s Contract Manager for resolution. Any claims by the State shall be submitted in writing to the Vendor’s Project Manager for resolution. The Parties shall agree to negotiate in good faith and use all reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute(s). During the time the Parties are attempting to resolve any dispute, each shall proceed diligently to perform their respective duties and responsibilities under this Contract. The Parties shall agree on a reasonable amount of time to resolve a dispute. If a dispute cannot be resolved between the Parties within the agreed upon period, either Party may elect to exercise any other remedies available under the Contract, or at law. This provision, when agreed in the Contract, shall not constitute an agreement by either party to mediate or arbitrate any dispute.

NON-COMPLIANCE AND REMEDIES

ITD’s service location contact will be responsible for documenting non-compliance, in writing, via email. This notice will include the details of each discrepancy that requires corrective action. Invoicing must not occur until non-compliance has been corrected.

Correcting Non-Compliance - After receipt of written notice from ITD, the Contractor must respond, in writing, explaining how and when each discrepancy will be corrected. All discrepancies must be corrected and brought back into compliance with the Contract within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the notice from ITD. If the Contractor does not correct the discrepancies within this timeframe, ITD reserves the right to take further remedial action.

In addition to any remedies available to the State under law or equity, the State may it its sole discretion require one (1) or more of the following remedial actions if any of the service does not conform to the Contract requirements: 1) require the Contractor to take corrective action to ensure that performance conforms to the Contract requirements, 2) require the Contractor to subcontract all or part of the Contract at no additional cost to the State, 3) withhold payment or require payment of actual damages caused by the non-compliance, 4) terminate the Contract, in addition to any remedies imposed by the State.

If ITD must perform or hire a separate contractor to perform any of the Contract’s requirements, which is the responsibility of the Contractor under the terms of the Contract, ITD may withhold the actual cost to ITD from the Contractor’s payment(s).
