COOPERATIVE PRICING CONDITIONS

METHOD OF AWARDING CONTRACTS

Contract(s) of purchase shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder(s) as declared by the County of Somerset. The contract awarded between the County of Somerset and the successful vendor(s):

(1) shall establish the contractual obligation regarding the specific items, specifications and quantities to be provided to the Lead Agency; and (2) shall also set forth the estimated quantities, together with relevant delivery information, with respect to the Other Agencies, as specified in these specifications.

All Other Agencies ordering any materials, supplies or work pursuant to this master contract shall do so by issuance of the appropriate contract between the Other Agency and the vendors, subject to the requirements of the master contract, which may be referred to by reference. No such subsidiary contract issued by another agency shall provide for any deviation from the specifications, price or quality set forth in the master contract pursuant to these specifications.

No vendor shall be required or permitted to extend bid prices to participating contracting units unless so specified in the bids. In the event that the lowest responsible bidder, responding to these specifications, indicates by the appropriate checkmark unwillingness to extend the bid prices to the

Other Agencies category, then the contract for the stated needs of the Lead Agency will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, and new bids will be sought and a second master contract subsequently awarded with respect to the needs of the Other Agencies (OR... the contract for the stated needs of the Lead Agency will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, and a second

*(Master) contract for the Other Agencies will be awarded to the next lowest bidder whose bid agrees to so extend his prices); (OR... only the contract for the Lead Agency’s needs will be awarded, and all other bids shall be rejected, and no further bids will be sought by the Lead Agency on behalf of the

Other Agencies.

The purpose of the master contract with respect to the Lead Agency shall be to establish the specifications and price. The subsidiary contracts, placing the orders with the vendor shall establish the quantities required by each Other Agency within the limits set forth in the master contract. The successful vendor shall invoice each of the Other Agencies, and Other Agencies shall pay the vendor directly. No additional contract will be required with respect to the needs of the Lead Agency as specified in the awarded master contract.

OTHER AGENCY REQUIREMENTS

WILLING to provide the item(s) herein bid upon to Other Agencies in System 2-SOCCP, Somerset

County Cooperative Pricing System, without substitution or deviation from specifications, size, features, quality, price or availability as herein set forth. It is understood that orders will be placed directly by the other participating agencies by separate contract, subject to the overall terms of the master Contract to be awarded by the County of Somerset that no additional service or delivery charges will be levied except as permitted by these specifications.

NOT WILLING to extend prices to Other Agencies as described. It is understood that this will not adversely affect consideration of this bid with respect to the needs of the County (Lead Agency).

*In keeping with Somerset County’s commitment to providing cooperative pricing contracts for its membership, refusal to extend pricing to the co-op may result in a dual award to include an alternate vendor willing to extend pricing for the duration of the contract.
