INFORMATION FOR SUBMITTERS

1. PROPOSAL

Qualification packages are being sought for construction equipment rental services. All work shall

be furnished in full accordance with the specifications.

2. RECEIPT AND OPENING OF QUALIFICATION PACKAGES

Separate sealed submittals shall be received in the Office of the First Selectman, 501 Main Street

South, Southbury, CT 06488, until the time and date stated in the REQUEST FOR

QUALIFICATIONS. All submittals shall be submitted in sealed, opaque envelopes clearly labeled

with the name of the firm, his address, and the words “RFQ 2026-002 – Construction Equipment

Rental Services” so as to guard against opening prior to the time set therefore. One printed copy

and one digital copy (via flash drive) of all qualifications packages shall be submitted.

Submittals may be forwarded by mail. If mailed, the sealed opaque envelope containing the

submittal, marked as described above, shall be enclosed in another envelope properly addressed

for mailing. The Town may consider informal any submittal not prepared and submitted in

accordance with the provisions hereof and may waive any informalities in or reject any and all

submittals. Any submittal may be withdrawn prior to the above scheduled time for the opening

thereof.

3. PREPARATION OF SUBMITTALS

Each submittal must be submitted on the prescribed form and all blank spaces must be filled,

handwritten in ink or type written.

4. WITHDRAWAL OF SUBMITTALS

Submittals may be withdrawn personally or on written or telegraphic request dispatched by the

applicant in time for delivery in the normal course of business prior to the time fixed for opening,

provided that written confirmation of any telegraphic withdrawal over the signature of the

applicant is placed in the mail and postmarked prior to the time set for opening. Negligence on the

part of the applicant in preparing his submittal confers no right of withdrawal or modification of

his submittal after such submittal has been opened.

5. FAMILIARITY WITH LAWS, SITE CONDITIONS AND DOCUMENTS

Each applicant is required to be familiar with and to comply with the terms and conditions of the

specifications and all other RFQ documents and with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances

or regulations which in any manner relate to the furnishing of the services in accordance with the

RFQ. Each applicant shall thoroughly familiarize himself with all conditions of the RFQ

documents and specifications before preparing his submittal. The submission of a qualification

package shall be construed as an assurance that such examination has been made and the failure

4

of the applicant to familiarize himself with conditions relating to the specifications shall not in any

way relieve any applicant from any obligation in respect to his submittal.

6. QUALIFICATIONS OF APPLICANT

Applicants must be regular full time Contractors in the type of service specified. The Town may

make such investigations as it deems necessary to determine the ability of the applicant to perform

the work, and the applicant shall furnish to the Town all such information and data for this purpose

as the Town may request. The Town reserves the right to reject any submittal should the evidence

submitted by, or investigation of, such applicant fail to satisfy the Town that such applicant is

properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the RFQ and to complete the project contemplated

therein. Conditional submittals will not be accepted.

7. ERRORS, INTERPRETATIONS, AND ADDENDA

Should an applicant find any omissions, discrepancies or errors in the specifications or other RFQ

documents or should he be in doubt as to the meaning of the specifications or other RFQ

documents, he should immediately notify the Town who may correct, amend or clarify such

documents by a written interpretation or addendum. No oral interpretations shall be made to any

applicant and no oral statement of the Town shall be effective to modify any of the provisions of

the RFQ documents.
