H. DEFAULT: In case of failure to deliver goods or services in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, Jackson County, after due oral or written notice, may procure substitute goods or services from other sources and hold the contractor responsible for any resulting additional purchasing and administrative costs.

J. ETHICS IN PUBLIC CONTRACTING: By submitting their bids, all bidders certify that their bids are made without collusion or fraud and that they have not offered or received any kickbacks or inducements from any other bidder, supplier, manufacturer or subcontractor in connection with their bid, and that they have not conferred on any public employee having official responsibility for this procurement transaction any payment, loan, subscription, advance, deposit or money, services or anything of more than nominal value, present or promised, unless consideration of substantially equal or greater value was exchanged.

K. DEBARMENT STATUS: By submitting their bids, all bidders certify that they are not currently debarred from bidding on contracts by any agency of the State of

Georgia, nor are they an agent of any person or entity that is currently debarred from submitting bids on contracts by any agency of the State of Georgia.

Jackson County reserves the right to inspect bidder's physical plant prior to award to satisfy questions regarding the bidder's capabilities. Jackson County further reserves the right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigations of, such bidder fails to satisfy

Jackson County that such bidder is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract and to complete the work/furnish the items contemplated therein.

O. WITHDRAWAL OF BID DUE TO ERRORS:

1. The bidder shall give notice in writing of this claim of right to withdraw his bid without penalty due to an error within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the bid opening procedure. Bids may be withdrawn from consideration if the price was substantially lower than the other bids due solely to a mistake therein, provided the bid was submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of the bid, which unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission can be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of original work papers, documents and material used in the preparation of the bide sought to be withdrawn. The bidder’s original work papers shall be the sole acceptable evidence of error and mistake if he elects to withdraw his bid. If a bid is withdrawn under the authority of this provision, the lowest remaining responsive bid shall be deemed low bid.

2. No bidder who is permitted to withdraw a bid shall, for compensation, supply any material or labor or perform any subcontract or other work agreement for the person of firm to whom the contract is awarded or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, from the performance of the project for which the withdrawn bid was submitted.

3. Supplier has up to forty-eight (48) hours to notify the Jackson County Purchasing

Office of an obvious clerical error made in calculation of bid in order to withdraw a bid after bid opening. Withdrawal of bid for this reason must be done in writing within the forty-eight (48) hour period. Suppliers who fail to request withdrawal of bid by the required forty-eight (48) hours shall automatically forfeit bid bond (if one was required). Bid may not be withdrawn otherwise.

4. Bid withdrawal is not automatically granted and will be allowed solely at Jackson

County’s discretion.

P. LATE OFFERS: Jackson County will not be responsible for or consider late receipt of bids.

Q.
