7. In the event of a tie quote, the CHP reserves the right to determine the bidder based on the percent of discount specified on Quote Request Form, if applicable.

12. Agreements are not valid unless and until approved by the Department of General Services (DGS), or, under its authority, the CHP. The State has no legal obligation unless and until the agreement is approved.
