Cooperative Purchase Agreement.pdf

The document is a Cooperative Purchase Agreement involving the Department of Transportation and Development's Procurement Section, which allows State Agencies, Political Subdivisions, and Quasi State Agencies to purchase from contracts made by the department. The agreement permits the bidder to extend the contract terms to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi-agencies, with the understanding that contract orders can be issued by these entities as needed. The document emphasizes that choosing not to accept the cooperative purchase agreement will not impact the original contract award.

The agreement outlines specific administrative procedures for contract management, including that the Department of Transportation and Development will not monitor or resolve discrepancies for orders placed by other agencies. Controversies will be resolved by either the DOTD Procurement Director or the Director of State Purchasing, depending on the parties involved. Vendors accepting the 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 other entities to utilize the contract while establishing clear guidelines for order placement, contract administration, and dispute resolution.
