Clauses Extenison Overrun 3 Performance Bid.doc

This is a contract clauses document for the State of Maine related to a bumper sticker procurement with the message "Leave Your Firewood at Home." The document outlines the general terms and conditions applicable to the contract award, including provisions for contract extension, performance evaluation, and recycled content preferences. The State Purchasing Director retains the right to extend the contract period beyond the initial expiration date with contractor consent, with a maximum total contract period not to exceed three years.

The procurement incorporates pricing flexibility and sustainability considerations into the award criteria. Bids offering paper or paper products containing a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled material that fall within 10% of the lowest compliant bid may receive up to a 10% price preference, provided vendors disclose their recycled content status and material composition in their solicitation response. Additionally, any overrun on the contract is capped at 3%, and the vendor's past performance may be considered as a factor in the award decision. Vendors interested in the recycled content preference must explicitly identify their bid as offering recycled materials to be eligible for consideration.
