Potential vendors must submit a completed Exhibit A HHS Solicitation Affirmations and Exhibit C Pricing Sheet, with failure to submit these documents resulting in bid disqualification.

The estimated total contract amount is $50,000.00, with delivery expected within 14 days after order receipt, and F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid & Included. The contract allows for flexibility in ordering, with quantities that can be increased or decreased based on the Mexia State Supported Living Center's needs during the contract period. Vendors must provide product information with their bid quote and be prepared to meet comprehensive legal and ethical standards outlined in the HHSC's detailed affirmation documents. Pricing is required to be firm and fixed, with potential adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and federal minimum wage changes, subject to HHSC approval.
