6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF REQUESTS FOR QUOTES

The following terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) apply to solicitations by the

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, an RFQ is an invitation by the County for the provision of particular service(s) or product(s), including the price thereof, meeting specific criteria. The primary focus of an RFQ is upon the price a person/entity submitting a response (the

“Respondent”) proposes to charge for the particular service or product the County desires. While the price is a primary factor, it is not the only factor and the County is not required to enter into a contract/agreement with the particular Respondent who submits the lowest price.

Prices proposed in an RFQ shall include all costs of packing and of transportation to the delivery point or points indicated in the RFQ, including applicable sales and use taxes, unless otherwise specified. Unless stated otherwise in the RFQ, a Response may be tendered for any item or group of items, or portion thereof, of the service(s) or product(s) specified in the RFQ. Unit prices, a total price for each group of units, and a grand total may also be provided in the Response, depending upon the specifications of the RFQ. In case of a conflict between a unit price and the total price(s), or the grand total, the unit price, multiplied by the number of units to be provided, will govern. Unless stated otherwise in the RFQ, a Response may be tendered for any one service or one product, or group of services or products, or portion thereof, of the service(s) or product(s) specified in the RFQ, or for all the services or products sought by the County.

When a particular brand or make of a product is specified in an RFQ, an "equal" brand or make will be considered by the County. However, in such cases, the Respondent must establish that the alternate brand or make is equal to or better than the specified brand or make, and indicate the brand name, model, and catalog number of each item listed as an alternative. Unless otherwise indicated in the Response, the brand or make specified in the RFQ shall be furnished if the RFQ is accepted by the County and a contract/agreement between the Respondent and the

County is executed.

The time, date, and location for delivery of the service(s) or product(s) shall be as specified in the

RFQ or the contract/agreement between the Respondent and the County. Delivery time, if stated in days, includes Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Respondent may propose in the Response alternate times, dates, and locations for delivery of the service(s) or product(s) for the County’s consideration.

Samples of products, when required by the specifications of the RFQ, must be submitted within the time specified and at no expense to the County. If not destroyed by testing, or if not required for the purpose of inspecting deliveries during the term of the contract/agreement between the

Respondent and the County, samples will be returned to the Respondent at the County's expense.

The services and products described in a Response must conform to the safety orders of the State of California, Division of Industrial Safety and with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and policies. Only current product models as offered by manufacturers will be accepted. All products offered must be new and unused unless otherwise specified in the RFQ.

6.2. EVALUATION AND SELECTION PROCESS

Unless otherwise stated in the specifications for the RFQ, an evaluation panel, made up of persons selected by Shasta County, will review and rank each Quote. Reviewed and ranked criteria is delineated in the EVALUATION PHASES.

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/shastaca/projects/301424/document?section=2889615

Wastewater and Water Pump Repair Services Page 9 of 17

If an agreement to enter into a Contract cannot be reached with the highest ranked Respondent, then the negotiations with that Respondent will be terminated. Negotiations will then be opened with the next ranked Respondent and the process repeated, or the County may elect to reject all submitted Quotes. In any event, once negotiations with a particular Respondent are terminated, the County will not reopen negotiations with that Respondent.

6.3. RESERVATIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions, the County reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any or all Responses, or any part thereof; to reject any Response for failure to submit the Response in conformity with the requirements of the RFQ and these Terms and

Conditions; and to waive informalities and irregularities in a Response, if deemed to be in the best interest of the County. The County reserves the right to cancel this RFQ process at any time.

In addition, the County reserves the right to waive any deviations from the requirements or specifications of an RFQ that are included in any Response.

Solicitation of an RFQ does not commit the County to finalize any contract/agreement with a particular Respondent, to pay any costs associated with the preparation of any Response, and/or to enter into a contract/agreement with the Respondent submitting the least costly Response.

The County reserves the right to enter into negotiations with, and to finalize a contract and its terms with, the Respondent that, in the sole discretion of the County, submits the Response that is in the best interests of the County.

6.4. VALID CONTRACT

Legal Execution of an Agreement or Receipt of an Official Purchase Order of the County of Shasta covering the supplies, materials, equipment, or services as described in the Response to an RFQ will indicate acceptance of the Response and will constitute a contract to purchase.

6.5. DISQUALIFICATION

Wastewater and Water Pump Repair Services Page 10 of 17

Unless a Respondent provides all the information requested in the RFQ, the Response may, at the sole discretion of the County, be disregarded and given no consideration. Any Respondent who attempts to influence the RFQ process by interfering or colluding with other Respondents and/or with any County officer, employee, or agent; or who deviates from the RFQ process as set forth in the requirements of the RFQ and/or in these Terms and Conditions, may be disqualified at any time from further participation in the RFQ process. Respondents are specifically directed not to contact any person other than the designated County contact person listed in this RFQ for meetings, conferences, information, or technical discussions related to this RFQ. Failure to comply with the preceding sentence may result in a Respondent being disqualified from this RFQ process. No questions regarding this RFQ will be answered by other County staff. The RFQ process shall extend until the date stated on the County’s written notice of intent to award a contract or the date stated on the County’s written notice of cancellation of the RFQ process that will be issued to Respondents.

6.6. RETENTION OF RESPONSES/PUBLIC RECORD

All Responses shall become the sole property of the County. The County reserves the right to use any ideas in a Response regardless of whether that Respondent is selected to enter into a contract/agreement with the County. At such time as a Respondent is selected and a contract/agreement is negotiated, all Responses and related documents become a matter of public record, with the exception of those parts of each Response which are clearly designated by the Respondent as business or trade secrets and marked as “confidential” or “proprietary.”

The County, however, shall not in any way be liable or responsible in connection with the

County’s disclosure of any Response or any part thereof, if disclosure is required by the California

Public Records Act (Gov. Code, §7920 et seq.) or pursuant to law or legal process. By submitting a Response, the Respondent agrees to save, defend, keep, hold harmless, and fully indemnify the

County of Shasta, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from all damages, claims for damages, costs, or expenses, whether in law or in equity, that may at any time arise for not disclosing a business or trade secret pursuant to the California Public Records

Act.

The County will treat all information submitted in a proposal as available for public inspection once the County has completed negotiations with a contractor. If you believe that you have a legally justifiable basis under the California Public Records Act (Government Section 7920 et.

seq.) for protecting the confidentiality of any information contained within your proposal, you must identify any such information, together with the legal basis of your claim in your proposal.

6.7. PROTESTS

Wastewater and Water Pump Repair Services Page 11 of 17

Mailed protests not received before the deadline will not be considered, even if postmarked before the deadline.

The protest shall identify all bases on which the protest is based. Any protest or objection will be considered and resolved by the Director of Support Services, or their designee, in their sole discretion and whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

6.8. COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS OF RFQ

Any Respondent submitting a Response to an RFQ understands and agrees that their submitted

Response shall constitute acknowledgment and acceptance of, and intent to comply with, all these Terms and Conditions and the requirements of the RFQ. The determination of the compliance with these Terms and Conditions and the requirements of the RFQ shall be in the

County’s sole judgment and shall be final and conclusive.

6.9. COUNTY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR COSTS OF PREPARATION

The County shall not be liable for any costs of work performed in the preparation and production of a Response, or for any work performed prior to the formal execution of a contract/agreement between a Respondent and the County. By submitting a Response, the Respondent agrees not to make any claims for, or have any right to, damages because of any misunderstanding or misrepresentation of these Terms and Conditions and the requirements of the RFQ, or because of any misinformation or lack of information.
