Pine River Group; Bid-Contract 0510492; Cooperative Purchasing Agreement.pdf

This document is Section 5 of a bidder agreement for Wisconsin's Cooperative Purchasing Service, establishing a cooperative purchasing arrangement under Wisconsin statute 16.73. The agreement allows Wisconsin municipalities to purchase from state contracts, with participating vendors providing opportunities for additional sales without additional bidding. Wisconsin municipalities are defined broadly to include counties, cities, villages, towns, school districts, board of school directors, sewer districts, drainage districts, vocational and technical education districts, and other public bodies having authority to award public contracts, as well as federally recognized Indian tribes and bands within the state.

The bidder has agreed to furnish commodities or services to Wisconsin municipalities with special conditions noted as "6 UNITS FOR FREE DELIVERY" and additional handwritten terms that appear to reference freight charges and order minimums. Interested municipalities will contact the contractor directly using the state agency contract number for orders, and are responsible for receipt, acceptance, inspection, and direct payment to the contractor. The State of Wisconsin is not party to these municipal purchases and bears no liability for delivery or payment. Vendors may specify minimum order sizes by volume or dollar amount, additional charges beyond normal delivery areas, or other minimal charges for municipalities participating in the cooperative purchasing program.
