CODE OF SILENCE:

From the date the RFQ is issued; through the time the Agreement is finally awarded by NOLA-PS

Elected Officials, Proposers shall not contact any Representatives of NOLA-PS, nor the District Staff,

nor their Advisors or Consultants with respect to this RFQ, or RFQ process, other than to submit

questions or protest in accordance with the Instructions to Proposers therein. This prohibition does not

apply to questions or comments sent in writing to the Executive Director of Procurement, or questions

made at Pre-Qualifications conferences, in presentations before evaluation committees, or during

contract negotiations. Proposers who violate this Code of Silence may be deemed non-responsive, and

their qualifications response may be rejected for cause.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS DOCUMENTS: A complete set of Request for

Qualifications documents shall be used in preparing qualifications responses; neither the Orleans

Parish School Board nor its representatives assume any responsibility for errors or misinterpretations

resulting from the use of incomplete sets of Request for Qualifications Documents.

The forms furnished as part of the specifications MUST be used for filing of Request for Qualifications

and must be signed by the proposer. No qualifications responses will be considered unless made on

the forms provided and must not be detached from the qualifications response document of which it

forms a part. Failure to follow these instructions may result in your qualifications response being

disqualified.

OBJECTION TO THE AWARD: If any Proposer who submitted a qualifications response has an

objection to the award of the contract to the Selected Proposer, the objecting Proposer shall furnish that

protest, in writing, to the Executive Director of Procurement (or Designee) within ten (10) Business

Days of the notification of non-award. The protest shall describe in detail the basis for the protest and

shall request a determination under this section of the Instructions to Proposers.

If a protest is filed in a timely fashion, the Executive Director of Procurement (or Designee) will review

the basis for the protest and relevant facts under such terms and conditions as he considers proper. Upon

completion of the review, the Executive Director of Procurement (or Designee) shall submit applicable

findings and recommendations to the Superintendent and/or Chief Financial Officer, who shall then

review the matter under such terms and conditions, as deemed proper. Upon receipt of authority to act

from the Superintendent or NOLA-PS, the Executive Director of Procurement (or Designee) will notify

those Proposers involved of its decision. The decision shall be final and binding on the objecting

Proposer.

WITHDRAWAL OF BID: Any bid may be withdrawn if clear and convincing sworn, written

evidence of obvious mechanical, clerical or mathematical error is furnished by the proposer to the

Executive Director of Procurement within 48 hours of qualifications response receipt.

SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION: The proposer, vendor, service provider

and/or supplier performance process will involve evaluating the proposer, vendor, service provider

and/or supplier’s overall quality status, as well as evaluating the quality of each material or service the

NOLA-PS wishes to purchase. Prior to the invoice submission, the proposer, vendor, service provider

and/or supplier, shall meet with a purchasing representative to discuss and review deliverables and

timeline events for said services. Contract with automatic renewals will be based upon the NOLA-PS

evaluating and analyzing proposer, vendor, service provider, and/or supplier performance.

DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION: To ensure that the Orleans Parish School Board does not enter

into a contract with a debarred or suspended company or individual, each responsive proposer must

include a certification statement with each bid. By signing the certification statement, the proposer

certifies that neither it nor any of its principals (e.g., key employees) have been proposed for

debarment, debarred or suspended by a Federal Agency. It is the responsibility of each proposer to

sign the attached certification statement and submit it with the bid. Failure to comply with this

requirement will cause your bid to be disqualified and declared non-responsive.
