goods or services from the other bidders.

Shawnee County reserves the right to negotiate separately with any vendor after the opening of this RFP

when such action is considered in its best interest. Subsequent negotiations may be conducted, but such

negotiations will not constitute acceptance, rejection or a counteroffer on the part of the County.

Shawnee County interprets the term “lowest responsible and best bidder” as requiring Shawnee County to:

A. Choose between the kinds of materials, goods, wares, or services subject to the proposal, and

B. Determine which proposal is most suitable for its intended use or purpose. Shawnee County can

consider among other factors such things as labor cost, service and parts availability and maintenance

costs of items upon which proposals are received. Shawnee County can determine any differences or

variations in the quality or character of the material, goods, wares or services performed or provided by

the respective vendors.

Shawnee County will award the bid. If the successful vendor refuses or fails to make deliveries of the

materials/services within the times specified in the RFP, purchase order or contractual agreement, Shawnee

County may by written notice, terminate the contract OR purchase order. The successful vendor will certify

and warrant that goods, personal property, chattels, and equipment sold and delivered are free and clear of

any and all liens, or claims of liens, for materials or services arising under, and by virtue of the provisions of

K.S.A. 58-201, et seq., and any other lien, right, or claim of any nature or kind whatsoever.

The vendor hereby certifies that he or she has carefully examined all of the documents for the project, has

carefully and thoroughly reviewed this RFP, understands the nature and scope of the work to be done; and

that this proposal is based upon the terms, specifications, requirements and conditions of the RFP, and

documents. The vendor further agrees that the performance time specified is a reasonable time, having

carefully considered the nature and scope for the project as aforesaid.

(K.S.A. 10-1112 and 10-1113), the Budget Law (K.S.A.79-2935). Agreements shall be construed and

interpreted so as to ensure that the County shall at all times stay in conformity with such laws, and as a
