Bidder Agreementf.pdf

This document is a bidder agreement form for Wisconsin's Cooperative Purchasing Service, establishing a framework for state contract participation. The agreement involves the State of Wisconsin and bidders/proposers seeking to participate in cooperative purchasing arrangements that allow Wisconsin municipalities to purchase from state contracts. The document includes confidentiality provisions and allows agencies to opt out of certain sections if not applicable to their bid or proposal.

The cooperative purchasing service enables Wisconsin municipalities to leverage state contracts for procurement without additional bidding requirements. Participating municipalities contact contractors directly to place orders using the state contract number and handle receipt, acceptance, inspection, and payment independently. The State of Wisconsin maintains no liability for these municipal purchases or related disputes. Bidders can agree or decline to furnish commodities or services to Wisconsin municipalities, with vendors permitted to specify minimum order sizes, additional charges for extended delivery areas, or other conditions for municipal customers. The document shows the bidder has agreed to participate in the cooperative purchasing program with a special condition noting "Add freight for muni's."
