The county reserves the right to reject any bids, evaluate equivalent products, and make awards by individual items, grouped items, or complete lots. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with federal, state, and county regulations, provide tax-exempt purchasing documentation, and meet quality and delivery expectations as outlined in the procurement guidelines.
