APPENDIX A

PATRICK COUNTY

BID OR PROPOSAL CONDITIONS

IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING BID!

1. A bidder may withdraw or cancel a bid or proposal at any time prior to the date

set for opening. After such time, the bidder may not withdraw for a period of

sixty (60) calendar days. Any bidder may be required to clarify his bid or

acknowledge by written confirmation that the minimum requirements of the

request for proposal are included in the bidder's proposal.

2. Any invitation to bid, a request for proposal, any other solicitation or any and all

bids or proposals may be canceled or rejected when it is determined that it is in

the best interest of the County to do so. The reasons therefore shall be made a

part of the contract file. Any bid which is incomplete, conditional, obscure, or

which is not in conformance with the specifications may be rejected, or any such

irregularities may be waived at the option of the County.

3. If more than one bid or proposal received is for the same total amount or unit

price, quality and service being equal, the tie bidders shall be invited to resubmit

written bids below the original bid and the award shall be made to the bidder with

the lowest price.

4. If the lowest acceptable bid exceeds available funds, the County may negotiate

with the bidder to obtain a contract price within available funds. The negotiations

shall be confined to a reduction in the contract price and shall not deal with

changes in the contract requirements.

5. Except in the case of an emergency affecting the public health safety or welfare,

no contract shall be awarded on the basis of cost plus a percentage of cost. This

paragraph shall not apply to contracts of insurance. Public contracts may be

awarded on any other basis.

6. No contract other than one for the professional services of an accountant,

architect, land surveyor, landscape architect, attorney, doctor of medicine or

optometry or professional engineer, shall be awarded for a period in excess of

three (3) years.

3

7. With the following exceptions procurement documents are subject to the Virginia

Freedom of Information Act:

A. Cost estimates relating to a proposed procurement transaction prepared by

or for the County shall not be opened to public inspection.

B. Bid and proposal records shall be opened to public inspection only after

award of the contract. Any bidder or offerer may be allowed to inspect the

bid or proposal records prior to award unless the County decides not to

accept any bids and to reopen the contract.

C. Trade secrets or proprietary information submitted to the County are not

subject to disclosure if requested by the person submitting such information.

Any such request must identify what is to be protected and state the reasons

therefore.

8. Any bidder or offerer submitting a proposal to the County subjects himself to the

decision of the administrator or the public body as to the quality of what is offered,

responsiveness of the bid, accountability of the bidder, and the qualifications of any

offerer. The administrator or the public body, as the case may be, in their sole

discretion will evaluate bids or proposals and in all cases the decision made shall

be final. Every offerer submitting a bid or proposal agrees to abide by the decisions

of such officials as a condition precedent to the submission of the bid.

9. The County does not accept the responsibility for maintaining a bid list and will not

accept the responsibility for the failure of any competitor to receive a solicitation

directly from the County.

10. Once invitations to bid or requests for proposal have been advertised, should a

prospective bidder find any discrepancy in or omissions from the specifications,

requests for proposal, or other contract documents, or should he be in doubt as to

their meaning, he shall at once notify the specified contact person who will send

written instructions to all bidders. The County will not be responsible for any oral

instructions.

11. The provisions of Sections 2.2-4305, 2.2-4315, 2.2-4311, 2.2-4312, 2.2-4330, 2.2-

4333 through 2.2-4338, 2.2-4340, 2.2-4341, 2.2-4363, and 2.2-4367 through 2.2-

4377 of the Code of Virginia of 1950 are incorporated into these conditions by

reference as fully as if set forth herein.

12. The administrator may at his sole discretion require a bid, performance or payment

bond in any procurement solicitation. The requirement for such bond shall be

clearly stated in the bid documents.

4

13. By submitting a bid or proposal, the offerer agrees and warrants that he has

examined all the contract documents and, if appropriate, the subject of the contract

and where the specifications require a given result to be produced, that the

specifications are adequate and the required results can be produced under the

specifications in the contract. Omissions from the specifications shall not relieve

the offerer from the responsibility of complying with the general terms of the

contract as indicated by the specifications. Once the award has been made, failure

to have read all the conditions, instructions and specifications of the contract will

not be a cause to alter the original contract or proposal or for the offerer to request

additional compensation.

14. The firm, corporate or individual name of the bidder or proposer must be signed in

ink in the space provided for the signature on the page following these conditions.

In the case of a corporation the title of the officer signing must be stated and each

officer must be thereunto duly authorized. In the case of a partnership, the signature

of at least one of the partners must follow the firm name using the term "member

of the firm."

15. Pursuant to Section 2.2-4343.1 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, in all invitations to

bid, requests for proposals, contracts, and purchase orders, the County does not

discriminate against faith-based organizations.

16. Pursuant to an invitation to bid, the project will be awarded to the lowest responsive

and responsible bidder, as those concepts are defined in Section 2.2-4301 of the

Code of Virginia of 1950. When competitive sealed bidding is used the following

factors shall be considered in addition to price when determining the lowest

responsive and responsible bidder:

A. The ability, capacity and skill of the bidder to perform the contract or

provide the services required;

B. Whether the bidder can perform the contract or provide the service

promptly, or within the time specified, without delay or interference;

C. The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency

of the bidder;

D. The quality of performance of previous contracts or services;

E. The previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws and

ordinances relating to the contract or service;

F. The sufficiency of financial resources and ability of the bidder to perform

the contract or provide the service.

G. The quality, availability and adaptability of the goods or services to the

particular use required;

H. The ability of the bidder to perform future maintenance and service for use

of the subject of the contract;
