Cooperative Purchase Agreement.pdf

The document is a Cooperative Purchase Agreement from the Department of Transportation and Development, enabling State Agencies, Political Subdivisions, and Quasi State Agencies to purchase from contracts made by the department's Procurement Section. The agreement allows a bidder who is awarded a contract to extend pricing and terms to other state entities on a statewide basis, with the option to accept or decline such cooperative purchasing. Bidders can choose to participate by marking "Yes" on the form, and failure to mark "No" constitutes automatic acceptance of the cooperative purchase terms.

The agreement outlines specific administrative procedures for contract management and ordering. Political subdivisions authorized by the Office of State Purchasing can issue purchase orders directly to the original contractor, referencing the contract number and item number. The Department of Transportation and Development will not monitor or resolve discrepancies for orders placed by other agencies, with controversies to be handled by the DOTD Procurement Director or State Purchasing Director 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.
