5.1. Additional Terms

1. Liquidated Damages

A. It is important to the City that deliveries are made within 30 days of a valid purchase order. The vendor shall pay to the City, as fixed and agreed, liquidated damages of twenty-five dollars ($25) per day for each calendar day of delay past the 30 calendar days of a valid purchase order for failure to deliver.

B. The vendor shall not be charged with liquidated damages for failure to deliver when delay in delivery arises out of causes beyond their control and without the fault or negligence of the vendor;

Request For Bid #RFB-11EAL-195 15 however, in the event of such delay, the City may cancel this contract in whole or in part and seek any remedy available to it.

4. Additional Terms

C. Split Cases

Locations may order as much or as little as desired. The City may require the vendor to split cases or packages to meet location needs. This shall be done at no additional charge to the City.

D. Sorting, Packaging and Marketing

All items will be sorted and matched by the vendor for each individual employee order and marked accordingly. (Example: jacket matched with bib overalls) Items shall be made available in industry standard cartons or containers. All cartons/containers should be marked as to the contents, and large quantities may require being placed on pallets and shrink-wrapped at the department’s discretion. Items shall otherwise be protected from weather and other damage at all times. The City shall normally assume non-returnable pallets; however, if pallets are to be returned the vendor must note this accordingly in the response. (Vendor must pick-up pallets). Vendor is responsible for ensuring quality. No additional cost will be incurred.

E. Orders and Compensation

No supplies shall be accepted absent a valid purchase order from a City agency. Invoices shall be sent to the appropriate address. The City shall compensate the vendor according to per-unit prices less discount and the quantities actually ordered and received. No payment shall be made prior to the receipt of supplies.

F. Rejection of Bid, Elimination of Items

The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities and eliminate certain items from the bid prior to award if determined by the City to be in its best interest.

G. Vendor shall be required to measure or fit City employees on site at City facilities, at no extra charge, prior to the placing of major orders for the Department of Public Works (DPW) and possibly other agencies. Major fitting sessions are usually held once or twice per year for a given agency, and such fitting sessions may involve more than one day. For individual new hires, vendor shall have either a location available in Marion County, Indiana, or shall be willing to fit on site during the course of the resulting agreement. Departments shall advise the vendor of the need to arrange fittings in advance of orders.

H. City has approximately 635 union employees who receive new Carhartt clothing (average 2 pieces each) once every four years with new employees assigned Carhartt when they are hired. Each employee is issued bib overalls and jacket.

I. The purchase order document is the City’s assurance that the funds will be available for remittance on each order placed. Vendors who initiate production of product without receipt of the City’s purchase order are not guaranteed that payment will be made. The City will not compensate for any inventory purchased by a vendor for the purpose of maintaining stock to supply possible future orders. No guaranteed maximum or minimum purchase quantities are either stated or implied.

J. For all items, the prices bid shall include the cost of direct embroidery. For the Department of

Public Works (unless otherwise specified at the time of order), vendor shall be required to embroider on jackets the letters “DPW” and the name of the city employee in a style, color and format agreeable to the Department. (Supervisors may require a minor additional designation.)

Embroidered letters shall normally be 0.60” in height. Vendor may be required to provide similar type embroidery for other City departments as requested. Departments shall provide specific embroidery requirements/samples to the vendor at the time of order, and vendor shall confirm all requirements prior to any production runs. It is anticipated that most items shall require embroidery;

however, the vendor may include any applicable discount for non-embroidered items should they be ordered.

K. All jackets and coveralls get embroidery. Bib overalls do not. All embroidery is on the upper left chest.

L. If the City determines that any model number, color or garment size listed (including jacket size, inseam, waist, etc.) or any particular combination thereof is no longer available from the manufacturer, then the City may eliminate such items from the bid specifications or subsequent contract without invalidating the contract.
