All items are to be delivered to Port Chester, NY 10573, with the county requesting immediate delivery after award. Bidders must provide unit prices for each line item, and the county reserves the right to award by individual item, grouped items, or lot.

Bidders must comply with various legal requirements, including Executive Order No. 6-2007 regarding lead-free merchandise. The bid includes favorable payment terms of 2% 10 net 30, and specifically excludes federal, state, or local taxes from pricing.
