It shall be the vendor's responsibility to ask questions, request changes or clarification, or otherwise advise MoDOT if any language, specifications or requirements of an IFB appear to be ambiguous, contradictory, and/or arbitrary, or appear to inadvertently restrict or limit the requirements stated in the IFB to a single source. Any and all communication from vendors regarding specifications, requirements, competitive bid process, etc., must be directed to the IFB Contact, unless the IFB specifically refers the vendor to another contact. Such e-mail, fax, or phone communication should be received at least ten calendar days prior to the official bid end date.

However, in order to maintain a fair and equitable bid process, all vendors will be advised, via the issuance of an addendum to the IFB, of any relevant or pertinent information related to the procurement.

Registered vendors are electronically notified of those bid opportunities that match the commodity codes for which the vendor registered in MissouriBUYS. If a registered vendors e-mail address is incorrect, the vendor must update the e-mail address themselves on the state's MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System at https://missouribuys.mo.gov/.

2. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the IFB, any manufacturer names, trade names, brand names, information and/or catalog numbers listed in a specification and/or requirement are for informational purposes only and are not intended to limit competition. The vendor may offer any brand which meets or exceeds the specification for any item, but must state the manufacturer's name and model number for any such brands in the bid. In addition, the vendor shall explain, in detail, (1) the reasons why the proposed equivalent meets or exceeds the specifications and/or requirements and (2) why the proposed equivalent should not be considered an exception thereto.

Bids which do not comply with the requirements and specifications are subject to rejection without clarification.

3. Bids lacking any indication of intent to bid an alternate brand or to take an exception shall be received and considered in complete compliance with the specifications and requirements as listed in the IFB.

4. In the event that the vendor is an agency of state government or other such political subdivision which is prohibited by law or court decision from complying with certain provisions of an IFB, such vendor may submit a bid which contains a list of statutory limitations and identification of those prohibitive clauses. The vendor should include a complete list of statutory references and citations for each provision of the IFB, which is affected by this paragraph. The statutory limitations and prohibitive clauses may (1) be requested to be clarified in writing or (2) be accepted without further clarification if the statutory limitations and prohibitive clauses are deemed acceptable. If MHTC determines clarification of the statutory limitations and prohibitive clauses is necessary, the clarification will be conducted in order to agree to language that reflects the intent and compliance of such law and/or court order and the IFB.

5. All equipment and supplies offered in a bid must be new, of current production, and available for marketing by the manufacturer unless the IFB clearly specifies that used, reconditioned, or remanufactured equipment and supplies may be offered.

6. Prices shall include all packing, handling and shipping charges FOB destination, freight prepaid and allowed unless otherwise specified in the IFB.
