Cooperative Purchase Agreement.pdf

The document is a Cooperative Purchase Agreement involving State Agencies, Political Subdivisions, and Quasi State Agencies for purchasing contracts made by the Department of Transportation and Development's Procurement Section. The agreement allows bidders to extend their awarded contract proposal to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi agencies, with the option to accept or decline this cooperative purchasing arrangement. Bidders can choose to apply their contract to other entities, and failure to explicitly decline will be considered acceptance of the cooperative purchase terms.

The agreement outlines key administrative provisions, including that the Department of Transportation and Development will not monitor or resolve discrepancies for contract orders placed by other agencies. Contract administration for inter-agency disputes will be handled by the DOTD Procurement Director or the Director of State Purchasing, depending on the parties involved. Vendors accepting the cooperative purchase agreement understand that deliveries to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi agencies will be conducted on a statewide basis. The document emphasizes that choosing not to accept the cooperative purchase agreement will not impact the original contract award.
