1. Compliance with Laws and Regulations: Each vendor shall comply with all applicable Federal,

State, and Local laws and/or regulations concerning the type of goods and/or services being

procured under this Request for Formal Quotes, which are deemed to be incorporated herein by

reference.

The selected vendor agrees to comply with all statutes, rules, and regulations governing safe and

healthful working conditions, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C.

650 et seq., as amended, and KRS Chapter 338. The selected vendor also agrees to notify the City

in writing immediately upon detection of any unsafe and/or unhealthful working conditions at the

job site. The selected vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless from all

penalties, fines, or other expenses arising out of the alleged violation of said laws.

2. Equal Opportunity Statutes: The City is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate

on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, physical or mental

disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by law. The

City is also committed to employing only United States citizens and aliens who are authorized to

work in the United States. The City complies with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Therefore, the selected vendor must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that it also

will reimburse the City for any damages incurred due to any violation of the above-mentioned

statutes by the vendor while under contract to the City.

3. Failure to Submit Required Documentation: Failure to submit ALL forms and information

required in this Request for Formal Quotes may be grounds for disqualification. At the time of

submission, each vendor will be presumed to have inspected the site(s), if necessary, and to have

read the scope and to be thoroughly familiar with the project plans and contract documents

(including any and all addenda). The failure or omission of any vendor to examine any form,

instrument, or document shall in no way relieve any vendor from any obligation with respect to

this Request for Formal Quotes.

4. Submittal of Additional Information: Vendors must provide manufacturer’s product literature, if

available and appropriate, with the formal quote submission. While not necessary, the vendor

may include any product brochures, software documentation, sample reports, or other

documentation that may assist the City in better understanding and evaluating the vendor’s

response. Additional documentation shall not serve as a substitute for other documentation

which is required by this Request for Formal Quotes to be submitted with the formal quote.

5. Indication of Compliance: Each vendor shall indicate compliance with either a “Yes” or a “No” for

each item specification. Blank spaces shall be considered an indication of non-compliance. Any

meeting the specification(s), must be clearly cited on the attached “EXCEPTIONS TO

SPECIFICATIONS AND/OR COMMENTS” page. No deviation below “minimum” specifications will

formal quote which is addressed in the same manner as the formal quote, and received by the

City prior to the scheduled deadline for receipt of formal quotes, will be accepted. The formal

firm/company has adequate equipment, personnel, experience and understanding of the

specifications to perform service under the contract to be awarded.

Business Licenses, payroll and net profits, and any other ordinances which may apply to any

numbers, etc., it is intended merely to establish a standard; any materials, articles or equipment

of other manufacturers and vendors which will perform adequately the duties imposed by the

general design will be considered equally acceptable provided the material, article or equipment

so proposed is, in the opinion of the City, of equal substance and function.

commodities, fresh stock, latest model, design, or package.

12. Vendor Preference: Pursuant to KRS 45A.494, which is incorporated herein by reference: “A
