If a Bidder wishes to withdraw a submitted Bid, the Bidder must do so using the “Withdraw Quote” button in OregonBuys prior to Closing/Bid Opening Date and time specified in OregonBuys for this ITB.

SECTION D—AWARD

Bids must be submitted in accordance with all instructions in this ITB prior to the Bid Opening Date specified in OregonBuys for this ITB (see also Solicitation Schedule). Bids received after the Bid Opening Date will not be considered for award.

D.1 PRELIMINARY BID RESULTS.

ODFW may post preliminary bid results on the OregonBuys system. Such postings may not be correct and are not final. The posting of the preliminary bid results shall not operate as a representation by ODFW that any Bid submitted was complete, sufficient, lawful in any respect, or otherwise in substantial compliance with the ITB requirements.

D.2. METHOD OF AWARD.

Award will be made to the responsible Bidder whose Bid will best serve the interests of ODFW, taking into account price; the Bidder submitting the lowest responsive base bid and any alternates included in award will be selected for award.

Provided ODFW does not cancel the solicitation or reject all Bids pursuant to OAR 137-049-0270, Award will be made to the responsible Bidder submitting the total of the lowest responsive Bid, calculated as follows.

1.) LUMP SUM. If the ITB requires a lump-sum Bid, without additive or deductive alternates, or if ODFW elects not to award additive or deductive alternates, Bids will be compared on the basis of lump-sum prices, or lump-sum base Bid prices, as applicable. If the ITB calls for a lump-sum base Bid, plus additive or deductive alternates, the total Bid price will be calculated by adding to or deducting from the base Bid those alternates selected by ODFW, for the purpose of comparing Bids.

2.) UNIT PRICE. If the Bid includes unit pricing for estimated quantities, the total Bid price will be calculated by multiplying the estimated quantities by the unit prices submitted by the Bidder and adjusting for any additive or deductive alternates selected by ODFW, for the purpose of comparing Bids. ODFW will specify within the ITB the estimated quantity of the procurement to be used for determination of the low Bidder. In the event of mathematical discrepancies between unit price and any extended price calculations submitted by the Bidder, the unit price governs. (See OAR 137- 049-0350(2)(b)).

ODFW may Award by Bid item, groups of bid items, or the entire Bid provided such Award is in the public interest.

D.2.1 APPLICATION OF RECIPROCAL PREFERENCE. In determining the lowest Responsive Bid, ODFW will, in accordance with OAR 137-046-0310, add a percentage increase to the Bid of a nonresident Bidder equal to the percentage, if any, of the preference given to that Bidder in the state in which the Bidder resides. Adjustments made to account for reciprocal preferences will be for Bid evaluation purposes only. No such adjustments shall operate to amend Bidder’s Bid or any Contract awarded pursuant thereto.

D.2.2. RESPONSIVENESS. For its Bid to be considered responsive, the Bidder must substantially comply in all material respects with applicable solicitation procedures and requirements and the solicitation documents. Bids may be considered non-responsive and rejected if the Bid:

• includes non-approved alternate product brands where approval is required;

• takes exception to the Specifications or Plans or contractual terms of the ITB;

• is contingent upon OFDW or the Agency’s acceptance of Specifications, Plans, or Contract terms that conflict with or are in addition to those advertised in this ITB; or

• is unreadable.

In making a responsiveness determination, ODFW may waive minor informalities as described in OAR 137-049-0350, and ODFW may seek clarification of any response that, in its sole discretion, it deems necessary or advisable. However, Bidders may not supplement their Bids to provide for missing information.

D.2.3. RESPONSIBILITY. Prior to award of a Contract, ODFW will evaluate whether the apparent successful Bidder meets the applicable standards of responsibility identified in ORS 279C.375(3) and OAR 137-049-0390. In doing so, ODFW may investigate Bidder and request information in addition to that already required in this ITB in Attachment A, Form A-1, Responsibility Inquiry, when ODFW, in its sole discretion, considers it necessary or advisable.

ODFW shall notify the apparent successful Bidder, in Writing, of any other documentation required for it to complete its responsibility inquiry, which may include, but is not limited to: recent profit-and-loss history, current balance statements, assets-to-liabilities ratio (including number and amount of secured versus unsecured creditor claims), availability of short and long-term financing, bonding capacity, credit information, material, equipment, facility and personnel information, performance record of Contract performance, and similar information. Submission of a signed Bid shall constitute approval for ODFW to obtain any information ODFW deems necessary to conduct the evaluation.

Failure to promptly provide this information shall result in Bid rejection. ODFW may postpone the award of the Contract after announcement of the apparent successful Bidder in order to complete its investigation and evaluation. Failure of the apparent successful Bidder to demonstrate responsibility as required under OAR 137-049-0390 shall render the Bidder non-responsible and shall constitute grounds for Bid rejection, as required under OAR 137-049-0440.

D.3. REJECTION OF BIDS.

D.3.1. REJECTION OF ALL BIDS. ODFW may reject all Bids for good cause upon its finding that it is in the public interest to do so. ODFW will issue written findings if all offers are rejected.

D.3.2. LIQUIDATED AND DELINQUENT DEBT. ODFW may reject a particular Bid if a Bidder has liquidated and delinquent debt owed to the State or any department or agency of the State.

D.3.3. REJECTION OF PARTICULAR BIDS. ODFW may reject a particular Bid for any of the reasons listed under OAR 137-049-0440.

D.4. NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD.

ODFW will issue to each bidder or post, electronically or otherwise, a notice of its intent to award a contract, pursuant to ORS 279C.375.

D.5. PROTEST OF INTENT TO AWARD.

Bidders who are adversely or affected or aggrieved because all other Bids were nonresponsive or ODFW committed a violation of a provision of the ITB or procurement statute or administrative rules in evaluation of the Bids may submit a protest of the Notice of Intent to Award. The protest must be in Writing, specify the grounds upon which the protest is based and be submitted via email to the Purchaser/SPC within seven (7) days after issuance of the Notice of Intent to Award. Protests received after that date will not be considered. See also OAR 137-049-0450.

D.6. FINAL AWARD.

Upon expiration of the intent-to-award protest period (or after affirmation of the Award following a protest, if any) the Award will be final. If only one Bid is submitted, there will be no Intent to Award protest period.

D.7. INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED BY THE AWARDED BIDDER.

The Awarded Bidder shall provide the following information to ODFW within seven (7) days of Final Award. Failure to present the required documents within the time period required may result in revocation of award.

• Proof of Insurance: Awarded Bidder shall furnish proof of insurance meeting the requirements provided in Attachment D-5.
