IV. Withdrawal of Proposal

Submitters may withdraw their submitted Proposal at any time by giving written notice to the RFQ

Contact.

V. Proposal Errors

Submitters are cautioned to verify their Proposal before submission. Negligence on the part of the

submitter in preparing the Proposal confers no right of modification of the Proposal after the closing

time for its receipt. Inadvertent errors (such as the omission of one page of a multi-page document)

that have a correction submitted after the designated submission time may be considered at the

sole discretion of the Town if the submitter submits sufficient information with the correction to

prove that the error was inadvertent. Such amendments are not favored, and in the case of doubt,

requests will be denied.

VI. Late Proposals; Misrepresentations

Late Proposals will not be accepted. The Town does not specify the method by which Proposals are

to be delivered; therefore, it cannot be held responsible for any delay, regardless of reason, in the

receipt of Proposals. Proposals delivered by mail or messenger will be considered only when said

Proposals are received on or before the due date and time. The Town does not guarantee that

Proposals received in the building by mail or messenger will be delivered at or before the time the

proposal is due. Any material misrepresentations made by the submitter(s) will void the response

and eliminate the submitter(s) from further consideration. The Town reserves all rights with regard

to this solicitation.

VII. Grounds for Protests

Protest of Contents of Solicitation (Invitation For Bids or RFQs or other solicitation documents,

whichever is applicable, or any amendment to it, if the amendment is at issue): Any Proposer who

is aggrieved in connection with a solicitation document shall file a written protest to the Town

Administrator, jcrosland@townofirmosc.com, within four calendar days of the date of posting of

the solicitation, RFQ, RFP, or other solicitation document or any addendums to it on the Towns’s

website.

Protest of Award: Any Proposer who is aggrieved in connection with the award of the contract shall

file a written protest with the Town Administrator within four calendar days of the date the Intent

to Award memorandum is posted on the Town’s website. Any matter that could have been raised

pursuant to the section above on protest of contents of solicitation may not be raised as a protest

of award.

Exclusive remedy: The rights and remedies granted in this section to Proposers, either actual or

prospective, are to the exclusion of all other rights and remedies of Proposers against the Town.

3

Failure to file a timely protest: If the Proposer fails to request a protest within the four calendar

days, the solicitation or award shall be final.

VIII. Procedures for Protests

Protest: A protest must be in writing, filed with the Town Administrator, and set forth the grounds

of the protest and the relief requested with enough specificity to give notice of the issues to be

decided. The protest must be received by the Town Administrator within the time provided.

Burden of Proof: The protestant bears the burden of proving the validity of the protest or claim

against the Town.

Administrative Review and Decision: The Town Administrator will conduct an administrative review

of all claims set forth within the protest document and shall issue a decision in writing within four

calendar days of receiving the protest.

Appeals of Decision: Any appeal of the Town Administrator’s decision pursuant to the above

paragraph must be filed with the Town Administrator, in writing, within four calendar days of the

date of the decision. The Town Council shall hear and decide on any appeals at its next regular or

special council meeting.

Stay of Award: The contract award is stayed until issuance of a final decision by the Town. Once a

final decision is issued, the filing of a petition to appeal that decision does not stay enforcement of

the Town’s decision to award the contract.

IX. Incurred Cost and Return of Proposals

All costs incurred in the preparation and submission of Proposals shall be borne by the submitter.

The Town is under no obligation to return any Proposals or materials submitted by the submitter as

a response to this RFQ.

The RFQ Evaluation Committee shall represent the Town in all matters pertaining to this RFQ and

reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals during any stage of this RFQ, or to modify,

withdraw, cancel, or reissue this solicitation, either in whole or in part, in the event that responses

are deemed inadequate or that it is otherwise in the best interest of the Town.

The RFQ Evaluation Committee also reserves the right to disregard any minor informality in the RFQ

when, in its opinion, the best interests of the Town will be served by such action.

The Town of Irmo reserves the right to enter negotiations with a single company OR may create a

short list of firms, based upon qualifications and pricing, and may conduct interviews, engage in

further discussion, or negotiate pricing terms.
