Cooperative Purchase Agreement.pdf

This 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 provides bidders the option to extend their contract award to other state entities, with the understanding that any contract awarded under this proposal will apply to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi-agencies statewide.

The agreement outlines specific administrative procedures for contract management and order placement. Vendors accepting the cooperative purchase agreement understand that deliveries to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi-agencies will occur on a statewide basis. 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. Contract administration controversies will be resolved by either the DOTD Procurement Director or the Director of State Purchasing, depending on the specific parties involved in the dispute.
