BL144-24 Page 2

I. General A. References

Supplier should provide three (3) references from agencies of comparable scope of this contract, size and call volume.

B. Brand Names The use of brand name is not for restrictive purposes or to limit competition, but to assist suppliers in determining the standard of quality Gwinnett County is seeking. It is understood that items matching or exceeding the quality level are also acceptable. Gwinnett County shall be the sole determinant of acceptability of all approved equivalents. It is the supplier’s responsibility to prove equivalent products match or exceed the quality level of the product(s) specified.

C. Samples

1. If bidding a brand/manufacturer’s product other than as specified, Gwinnett County requires a product sample with information and specifications (along with brand/manufacturer and product number) be provided at the request of Gwinnett County. Sample(s) should not be included in a supplier’s bid response. Supplier shall bear the cost of providing samples.

2. The supplier will be notified in writing of the sample(s) to be submitted. The provider will have five

(5) business days from the request to deliver the product unless additional request time is granted.

All samples submitted for consideration must be packaged and clearly marked on the outside of the container with the Supplier Name, Bid Number, and the wording “SAMPLE” located on the outside of the package. Each sample contained therein, must be marked with the Supplier’s name, Bid number, and the item number of the product as indicated on the Bid Schedule.

3. It is the supplier’s responsibility to prove that alternate products bid are equal or exceed the quality level of the product(s) specified. Do not include pricing information with the sample being submitted. Pricing is to be submitted with the bid and not with the samples. Samples will be returned upon request (at supplier’s expense) or may be picked up by supplier within a reasonable timeframe. The department reserves the right to retain samples for comparison purposes.

4. Failure of the supplier to submit sample(s) of the equivalent item as specified above may result in that line item(s) being deemed non-responsive. Gwinnett County shall be the sole determinant of acceptability of alternates/equivalents.

D. Invoicing

Invoices and purchase orders must match exactly. Supplier shall list the purchase unit of measure and price per unit.

To help avoid issues (invoicing, ordering, etc.) , unit prices shall not exceed 2 decimal points and must include freight charges.

II. Ordering

A. Quantities

1. Some item quantities are based on lowest packaged unit of measure for Fire Services distributed packaged unit of measure. Bid should reflect requested unit of measure, the purchase unit of measure, and price.

2. Quantities are based on historical usage and estimated for bid purposes only and are not to be construed as a commitment to order a specific quantity. All quantities listed on the bid schedule are approximate 12-month usage and actual quantities may vary depending upon need. Unit of

BL144-24 Page 3 measure for 12-month usage is based on the current unit of measure used by the department (listed on the Bid Schedule).

B. Orders will be placed on an “as needed” basis.

C. Upon award, purchase orders will be placed by the Gwinnett County Department of Fire and

Emergency Services. Orders must be filled regardless of quantity or total dollar amount. This is not a one-time purchase.

D. Once an order has been placed, the awarded supplier will confirm receipt of order via communication indicated on purchase order (phone, fax, or email).

E. Purchases made under this contract are contingent upon appropriation of funds.

F. Prior to filling the order, it’s the supplier’s responsibility to ensure purchase order shows the correct unit of measure and will match the invoice.

III. Delivery

A. Delivery shall be made within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the order. If this delivery schedule cannot be met, the awarded supplier(s) must state the number of days required to place the commodity in the Fire Services designated location.

B. Delivery Failure Failure to state the delivery time obligates the bidder to complete delivery by the Department’s requested date. See Instructions to Vendors, Section XII, for details as to vendor’s monetary responsibility when there is a delivery failure.

C. Describing Delivery A.R.O. with words such as “immediate,” “as soon as possible,” “if in stock”, etc. should not be used. Extended delivery dates may be considered when in the best interest of the County. Item(s) shall be shipped F.O.B. destination freight pre-paid & allowed and include inside delivery.

D. Awarded supplier(s) will be required to provide a packing slip for items shipped for each PO, clearly indicating and backordered items. If shipping multiple purchase orders in one box, awarded supplier will be required to list all orders that are included in the shipment.

E. Items shall be delivered F.O.B. destination freight pre-paid & allowed to:

Gwinnett County Fire Services Resource Management 450 Hosea Road Lawrenceville, GA 30046

IV. Award:

Award will be made to the supplier submitting the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Bids may be split or awarded in entirety. Similar items may be awarded together.

Gwinnett County reserves the right to reject any or all bids to waive technicalities and to make an award as deemed in the county’s best interest.

Submittal may be withdrawn from consideration if the price was substantially lower than the other submittals due solely to a mistake therein, provided pricing was submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake and was due to an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of the submittal.

The vendor’s original work papers shall be the sole acceptable evidence of error and mistake if a vendor elects to withdraw their submittal. If a quote or bid submittal is withdrawn under the authority of this provision, the lowest remaining responsive offer shall be deemed to be low bid.

Withdrawal is not automatically granted and will be allowed solely at Gwinnett County’s discretion.

XI. AWARD

A. Award will be made to either the highest scoring firm (for proposals) or the lowest responsive and responsible vendor (for quotes/bids). The quality of the articles to be supplied, their conformity with the specifications, their suitability to the requirements of the County, and the delivery terms will be taken into consideration in making the award. The County may make such investigations as it deems necessary to determine the ability of the vendor to perform, and the vendor shall furnish to the County all such information and data for this purpose as the County may request. The County reserves the right to reject any submittal if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of such vendor fails to satisfy the County that such vendor is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract.

XII. DELIVERY FAILURES

On all such purchases, the vendor shall reimburse the County within a reasonable time specified by the Purchasing Director for any expense incurred in excess of the contract prices, or the County shall have the right to deduct such amount from monies owed the defaulting vendor. Alternatively, the County may penalize the vendor one percent (1%) per day for a period of up to ten (10) days for each day that delivery or replacement is late. Should public necessity demand it, the County reserves the right to use or consume articles/services delivered which are substandard in quality, subject to an adjustment in price to be determined by the Purchasing Director.

XIII. COUNTY FURNISHED PROPERTY

No material, labor or facilities will be furnished by the County unless so provided in the solicitation package.

XIV. REJECTION OF SUBMITTALS

Failure to observe any of the instructions or conditions in this solicitation package may constitute grounds for rejection.

XV. CONTRACT
