Other Notes: The following comments generally apply to Documented Quote solicitations such as this one. (1) Payment terms will be assumed to be 'Net-30 days' after receipt of goods/services and invoice, unless otherwise specified by the bidder. Proposed payment terms of less than 30 days may not be acceptable to the CDOC, except that proposed payment terms of less than 30 days that include a discount, such as 'Net-30 days/2%-10 days', are encouraged for possible consideration by the Department. (2) It is the responsibility of each bidder to monitor this solicitation during the open bidding period, for any possible 'modifications' (addenda or other changes to the solicitation). The CDOC is not able to otherwise actively notify prospective bidders of any modifications. (3) The respective delivery dates of the bidders, as stated in the quote responses received, may be an evaluation factor in awarding one or more items on the solicitation, depending upon the delivery needs of the CDOC and the differences between the responses received. The CDOC relies upon the accuracy of the projected delivery date stated in the quote response, and reserves the right to cancel any order for which delivery is not made by the date stated.
