may be requested to review and answer any pertinent questions concerning the bid and the specifications.

2. Each bid must be submitted in a separate sealed envelope and received by the City of Gadsden, Alabama in

the City Clerk’s office, 90 Broad Street, P.O. Box 267, Gadsden, Alabama, 35902. All bidders must use our

bid form and show on the envelope the bid number, name of project (purpose), and opening date. Any bid

received after the opening date and time will not be considered. If it becomes necessary to revise any part of

this bid, a written addendum will be provided to all bidders.

3. NEAPA encourages utilization of minority business enterprise in our procurement activities. NEAPA

provides equal opportunities for all businesses and does not discriminate against any vendor regardless of

race, color, creed, sex, national origin, disability, religion or age in consideration for an award.

4. The attached specifications are being provided to potential bidders as guidelines, which describe the type

and quality of equipment, supply, and/or service that NEAPA is seeking to purchase. The bidder must

indicate compliance or list exceptions to each specification item for consideration. Failure to comply with

this provision could be cause for rejection of the bid.

5. The name of a certain brand, make, manufacturer, or definite specification is to denote the quality standard

of the article desired but does not restrict the bidder to the specified brand, make, manufacturer or

specification names. It is set forth to convey the general style, type, character, and quality of the article

desired by NEAPA. Whenever the words "or approved equal" appear in the specifications, they shall be

interpreted to mean an item of material or equipment similar to that named, and which is suited to the same

use as that named and which is approved by the Purchasing Department. Vendor shall incur all cost

involved in obtaining an independent analysis if NEAPA deems it necessary to determine the suitability of

items as being approved equal.

6. It will be assumed that all bids are based upon the specifications unless the bidder stipulates to the contrary

on the proposal form; in which case, the bidder shall point out in detail any and all deviations from the

specifications. Bidders having items, which do not meet the specifications may offer the same on an

optional basis. Minor exceptions from the specifications may be considered if they do not alter the

performance for the intended purpose.

7. All bids shall be typewritten or printed in ink on the form(s) prepared by NEAPA. Bids prepared in pencil

will not be accepted. All proposals must be signed by officials of the corporation or company duly

authorized to sign bids. Any bid submitted without being signed will automatically be rejected.

8. All corrections or erasures shall be initialed and dated by the person authorized to sign bids. If there are

discrepancies between unit prices quoted and extensions, the unit price will prevail.

9. Prices quoted shall be delivered prices, exclusive of all federal or state excise, sales, and manufacturer's

taxes. NEAPA will assume no transportation or handling charges other than specified in this bid. NEAPA is

exempted from sales and use tax by 40-23-4(11) and 40-23-62(13), Alabama Code (1975).

11. The delivery schedule, if any, must be entered in the appropriate space in order for the bid to be considered.

If all items cannot be delivered on the same schedule, please note variances.

shall be attached with the proposal setting out the conditions of the warranty. The manufacturer's standard

warranty shall be furnished.

13. If the total amount of the bid exceeds $10,000, an original bid bond in the amount of 5% (of the total bid) is

required. In lieu of a bid bond, the bidder may submit a postal money order, certified check, or cashiers

check in the required amount. The bid bond or other security shall be retained by the City until a contract is

executed, a purchase order is issued, or in some cases, until materials and/or equipment is received. Failure

to submit a bid bond when required will result in rejection of the bid.

14. NEAPA reserves the right to request a demonstration of any and all items bid before making the award.

15. NEAPA reserves the right to accept or reject any or all items covered in the request, or any portion(s)

thereof, waive formalities, re-advertise and/or make the award on merit and/or features of design and

quality, delivery, and availability of parts and service and/or take such other steps deemed necessary and in

the best interest of NEAPA,

16. All bids will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This determination may involve

all or some of the following factors: price, conformity to specifications, financial ability to meet the contract,

previous performance, facilities and equipment, availability of repair parts, experience, delivery promise,

terms of payments, compatibility as required, other costs, and other objective and accountable factors which

are reasonable. When bids are equal, local vendor shall be favored.

17. Unless Special Terms and Conditions of the bid specify otherwise, NEAPA reserves the right to make an

award in whole or part to one or more bidders whenever deemed necessary and in the best interest of

NEAPA.

18. The successful bidder agrees, by entering into this contract, to defend, indemnify, and hold NEAPA

harmless from any and all causes of action or claims of damages arising out of or related to bidder's

performance under this contract.

19. All items bid will be inspected by a representative of NEAPA upon delivery to ascertain compliance with

the specifications. Items not in compliance with the specifications will be rejected until proper remedial
