CONTRACT TERMS

This Request for Proposal (“RFP”) and the information contained are invitations to bid.

This RFP is not a contract nor an offer to contract. No contractual obligations shall arise until a formal agreement between Lone Star College and the successful respondent(s) is executed.

The term of the award with the successful respondent will be for an initial period of three years, with an additional two (2) one-year options, by mutual consent—not to exceed a total contract term of five years.

Per Lone Star College Policy Manual, Section III.D.1.4 and III.D.1.7, all vendors are responsible for verifying an individual’s or organization’s authority before any purchase, contract, or debt is incurred.
