GENERAL PROVISIONS
THESE GENERAL PROVISIONS SHALL BE DEEMED AS PART OF THE BID SPECIFICATIONS.
The provisions of the Procurement Ordinance for the Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia as adopted and amended by Council shall apply to all invitations for bids and award of all contracts and is specifically incorporated herein by this reference. A copy of the ordinance is on file in the Purchasing Division.
1. TERM “CITY”. The term “City” as used throughout these documents will mean Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia.
2. PREPARATION OF FORM. Bid proposals shall be submitted on the forms provided by the City. All figures must be written in ink or typewritten. Figures written in pencil or erasures are not acceptable. However, mistakes may be crossed out, corrections inserted adjacent thereto, initialed in ink by the person signing the proposal. If there are discrepancies between unit prices quoted and extensions, the unit price will prevail. Failure to properly sign forms, in ink, will render bid incomplete.
3. EXECUTION OF THE BID PROPOSAL. Execution of the bid proposal will indicate the bidder is familiar and in compliance with all local laws, regulations, ordinances, site inspections, licenses, dray tags, etc.
4. BID SUBMISSION. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope or package. The exterior of the envelope or package must reference the bidder’s name and address, the bid number, bid title, and must indicate the contents represent a “bid” or “no bid” submission. Failure to properly identify the bid submission may result in rejection of the bid.
5. BID DUE DATE. The bid submission must arrive in the Purchasing Division on or before the stated due date and time. Upon receipt, bids will be time and date stamped. Bids will remain sealed and secured until the stated due date and time for the bid opening.
6. BID OPENING. The Purchasing Division Manager or Purchasing staff appointee will open bids. The bid amount and other pertinent information as determined by the Purchasing Division Manager will be read and recorded. The bids as recorded at the bid opening represent a draft tabulation and may include incorrect price extensions or transcription errors and are subject to change if conflicting information is discovered during analysis of the bid responses. A bid tabulation will be made available to bidders after extensions have been checked and all other specification compliance has been determined. In the essence of time, bidders may not be allowed to review bids at the bid opening.
However, bidders will be allowed to make appointments to review the bids at a later date.
7. LATE BIDS. It is the responsibility of the bidder to ensure bids are submitted by the specified due date and time.
Bids received after the stated date and time will be returned, unopened, to the bidder. The official clock to determine the date and time will be the time/date stamp located in the Finance Department. All bids received will be time and date stamped by the official clock. The City will not be held responsible for the late delivery of bids due to the U.S.
Mail Service, or any other courier service.
8. RECEIPT OF ONE SEALED BID. In the event only one sealed bid is received, no formal bid opening shall take place. First, the Purchasing Division shall conduct a survey of vendors to inquire of “no bid” responses and non-responsive vendors. If, from the survey, it is determined by the Purchasing Division that specifications need revision, the one bid received will be returned, unopened, to the responding vendor, with a letter of explanation and a new bid solicitation prepared. If it is determined that other vendors need to be contacted, the bid due date will be extended, and the one bid received will remain sealed until the new bid opening date. The vendor submitting the single bid will receive a letter of explanation.
If it is determined the one bid received is from the only responsive, responsible bidder, then the bid shall be opened by the Purchasing Division Manager or designee, in the presence of at least one other witness. The single bid will be evaluated by the using agency for award recommendation.
9. RECEIPT OF TIE BIDS. In the event multiple responsive, responsible bidders are tied for the lowest price and all other terms and requirements are met by all tied bidders, the award recommendation shall be resolved in the order of the preferences listed below:
1. Award to the local bidder whose principal place of business is located in Columbus, Georgia.
2. Award to bidder previously awarded based on favorable prior experience.
3. Award to bidder whose principal place of business is located in the State of Georgia.
4. If feasible, divide the award equally among the bidders.
5. If it is not feasible to award equally and only two bidders are tied, perform a coin toss in the presence of the two bidders, either in person or virtually.
6. If the above preferences are insufficient to resolve the tie, all bid responses will be rejected and the bid will be re-advertised.
10. RECEIPT OF MULTIPLE BIDS. Unless otherwise stated in the bid specifications, the City will accept one and only one bid per vendor. Any unsolicited multiple bid(s) will not be considered. If prior to the bid opening, more
RFB No. 22-0006 Weapons Purchase and Trade-In Page 5 of 6 than one bid is received from the same vendor, the following will occur: (1) the bidder will be contacted and required to submit written acknowledgment of the bid to be considered; (2) the additional bid(s) will be returned to the bidder unopened. If at the bid opening more than one bid is enclosed in a single bid package, the City will consider the vendor non-responsive and bids will be returned to the bidder.
11. CONDITIONS AND PACKAGING.

12. FREIGHT/SHIPPING/HANDLING CHARGES. All freight, shipping, and handling charges shall be included in the bid price. The City will pay no additional charges.
13. CORRECTIONS OR WITHDRAWAL OF BID/CANCELLATION OF AWARDS.

Mistakes discovered before bid opening may be modified or bid withdrawn by written notice received in the office of Purchasing prior to the time of the bid opening.
After bid opening, no changes in bid prices or other provisions of bids prejudicial to the interest of the City or fair competition shall be permitted.

All decisions to permit corrections or withdrawals of bids or to cancel awards or contracts based on bid mistakes will be supported by the written determination of the Purchasing Officer.
14. ADDENDA AND INTERPRETATIONS. If it becomes necessary to revise any part of this bid, a written addendum will be provided to all bidders. The City is not bound by any oral representations, clarifications, or changes made to the written specifications by City employees, unless such clarification or change is provided to the bidders in written addendum form from the Purchasing Officer. Bidders will be required to acknowledge receipt of the addenda (if applicable) in their sealed bid proposal. The vendor may provide an initialed copy of each addendum or initial the appropriate area on the bid form (pricing page). Failure to acknowledge receipt of the addenda (when applicable) will render bid incomplete. It is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure that they have received all addenda.
15. BID EVALUATION AND AWARD. During the evaluation of bids, the City reserves the right to request clarification of bid responses and to request the submission of references, if deemed necessary for a complete evaluation of bid responses.

acts of God; acts of public enemy; acts of the City and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather.
