Cooperative Purchase Agreement.pdf

This document is a Cooperative Purchase Agreement involving the Department of Transportation and Development, targeting State Agencies, Political Subdivisions, and Quasi State Agencies. The agreement allows bidders to extend their contract awards to other state entities, with the option to accept or decline cooperative purchasing. By default, if no explicit rejection is marked, the bidder agrees to allow other agencies to purchase under the same contract terms. The document outlines that other state agencies can issue contract release or purchase orders for required items, with political subdivisions authorized to purchase through the Office of State Purchasing.

The agreement specifies critical administrative details about contract management and delivery. 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 this cooperative purchase agreement understand that deliveries to other state agencies, political subdivisions, or quasi-agencies will occur on a statewide basis. The document emphasizes direct communication between the ordering entity and the contractor, ensuring clear procurement procedures across different state entities.
