The document contains the general terms and conditions for a contract between the City of Houston and a Prime Contractor/Supplier. The document outlines various guidelines and requirements related to the delivery of items, taxes, payment, inspections and audits, fair campaign ordinance, contractor/supplier ownership disclosure ordinance, change orders, and specifications.
According to the document, invoices for delivered items should be mailed to the Accounts Payable Section of the Department and the address mentioned on individual purchase orders. Delivery tickets and packing slips should contain the same information as the invoice and must be signed by the receiving employee and the Prime Contractor/Supplier's representative. The City is exempt from certain taxes, and the bid price should be net exclusive of those taxes unless specified otherwise. The payment is due thirty days after the City approves the invoice or accepts the equipment and all required documents.
The Prime Contractor/Supplier is responsible for making timely payments to all persons and entities involved in the contract and must protect, defend, and indemnify the City from any claims or liability arising from the failure to make such payments. The City reserves the right to review all payments made to the Prime Contractor/Supplier and may recover any overpayments through auditing. City representatives also have the right to perform audits of the Prime Contractor/Supplier's books and records and inspect the places where work is undertaken.
The document also mentions the City of Houston Fair Campaign Ordinance, which prohibits Contractors/Suppliers from offering contributions to candidates for City elective office. The ordinance specifies the time periods during which contributions can be solicited or received. Additionally, the document includes the City of Houston Contractor/Supplier Ownership Disclosure Ordinance, which requires the disclosure of the identities of the owners of entities seeking to contract with the City.
The document concludes with information about change orders, stating that the City Purchasing Agent can issue change orders to modify the scope of services or change plans and specifications as necessary. The Prime Contractor/Supplier is required to comply with the change order requirements and any special provisions or instructions issued for the additional work. The document explicitly states that the Prime Contractor/Supplier should not make any changes to the specifications without proper authorization.
