1.0 Proposal Invitation

Washtenaw Community College (“College” and/or “WCC”) seeks proposals from vehicle dealerships that

can fulfill the deliverables as outlined in this RFP. The major goal of this project is to supply a new 2026

Model year Ford F-450 vehicle for the College’s automotive programs.

The purpose of this RFP is to assess the current availability of the selections outlined herein. The College,

at its sole discretion, may consider the closest comparable substitution for award. The selected supplier

will be able to provide all deliverables outlined in the RFP.

Response to this RFP confirms an understanding that this is not a contract or offer of business by the

College. This request for proposal in no manner obligates the College to the eventual purchase of any

products or services described, implied, or which may be proposed, until confirmed by written agreement,

and may be terminated by the College without penalty or obligation at any time prior to the signing of an

agreement, contract, or purchase order. In submitting a proposal, Supplier agrees that all materials

associated with, attached to, or referenced by the submitted proposal will become the property of the

College and may be incorporated into a subsequent contractual agreement between the successful

Supplier and the College.

The College is not liable in any manner or to any extent for any cost or expense incurred by the Supplier

in the preparation, submission, presentation, or any other action connected with proposing or otherwise

responding to this RFP. Such exemption from liability applies whether such costs are incurred directly by

the Supplier or indirectly through the Supplier’s agents, employees, assigns, or others, whether related or

not to the Supplier.

The College reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and waive any irregularities. Proposals which

fail to comply fully with any provisions of this document may be considered invalid and may not receive

consideration. The College also reserves the right to negotiate terms and conditions of a contract with the

chosen Supplier. The College reserves the right to award a contract based on any combination of the

specifications described herein.

The awarded Supplier’s proposal response shall be subject to, and governed by the College’s Terms and

Conditions for Product Purchase and Installation, located at

https://www.wccnet.edu/about/purchasing/purchasing-terms-products.php, as a condition of award,

and are hereby incorporated herein as a substantive part of the solicitation documents. In the event

there is any conflict or inconsistency between the Terms & Conditions referenced in the RFP documents

and those included in a Supplier’s Proposal response, Supplier’s quote, or listed on the Supplier’s

website, the Terms & Conditions of the RFB documents shall govern. Proposal submissions must include

all exceptions to the College’s terms and conditions of purchase. A purchase order signed by an

authorized agent of the College is required to constitute acceptance of Proposal offer and offer terms

and conditions of service. This RFP and any subsequently offered contracts will be governed by the laws

of the State of Michigan. Any and all applicable valid executive orders, Federal, State or local laws,

ordinances or rules or regulations shall apply to any contract if and when offered and are deemed

incorporated herein.
