INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SHEET
Please complete the checklist for technical specifications set forth below. Each Bidder must indicate whether it can meet the technical specifications by inserting an “X” next to each specification. The “X” will demonstrate that the Bidder’s offering meets the technical specification. If a Bidder cannot meet a technical specification, then the Bidder must give an explanation for each exception and for equipment that is not available. All explanations must be provided in detail on separate pages along with the justification as to why the alternative equipment or deliverables will be as good as the equipment or deliverables described in the detailed specifications for desired items. A copy of the vendor specification proposal must be provided. Following these instructions is essential for proper bid evaluation. If a Bidder fails to provide requested information or if information on a quote is found to be false or misleading, the quote will be rejected as unresponsive.
| The following abbreviations must be used by interested Bidders: | |
| X | Meeting Specification |
| N/A | Not Available |
| AE | Approved equal process |
The award will be made on a best value basis to the vendor that either meets or most closely meets the specifications, while taking price and delivery into consideration.
