Cooperative Purchase Agreement.pdf

This document is a Cooperative Purchase Agreement from the Department of Transportation and Development that allows State Agencies, Political Subdivisions, and Quasi State Agencies to purchase from contracts made by the department's Procurement Section. The agreement permits bidders who are awarded a contract under this proposal to extend their contract pricing and terms to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi-agencies. By accepting this agreement, bidders can have their contract applied more broadly across various governmental entities, with the option to accept or decline the cooperative purchasing terms.

The agreement outlines specific administrative guidelines for contract management, including that the Department of Transportation and Development will not monitor or resolve discrepancies for orders placed by other agencies. Instead, controversies will be resolved by the DOTD Procurement Director or the Director of State Purchasing, depending on the parties involved. Vendors accepting this cooperative purchase agreement understand that deliveries to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi-agencies will be conducted on a statewide basis. The document provides a mechanism for broader contract utilization while clearly delineating responsibilities for contract administration and dispute resolution across different governmental entities.
