The document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the University of Central Missouri's Procurement and Material Management Office. The document provides terms and conditions for potential bidders who wish to submit a bid for the purchase of equipment, supplies, and/or services.
The document includes definitions for various terms used in the RFQ, such as amendment, attachment, target date and time, bidder, buyer, contract, contractor, exhibit, RFQ, may, must, pricing page(s), shall, and should.
It emphasizes the importance of open competition and encourages bidders to ask questions or seek clarification if any part of the RFQ appears ambiguous or restrictive. Bidders are advised to direct their communication to the buyer mentioned in the RFQ and to submit any questions at least five calendar days prior to the bid target date.
The document also states that the University's official position is only communicated through the RFQ or its amendments and that no other means of communication should be considered as a formal or official response. It mentions that the Procurement and Material Management Office monitors procurement activities to detect any anticompetitive conduct by bidders.
The document further highlights that the Procurement and Material Management Office reserves the right to modify or cancel the RFQ after issuance.
Regarding the preparation of bids, bidders are instructed to carefully examine the entire RFQ and ensure that their bids meet or exceed the stated specifications and requirements. They are allowed to offer equivalent brands but must provide detailed explanations as to why the proposed equivalent meets or exceeds the specifications. Bids lacking any indication of an alternate brand or exception will be considered in compliance with the specifications.
Bidders are required to offer new equipment and supplies unless specified otherwise and to include all packing, handling, and shipping charges in their prices. The validity of bid prices is typically 90 days from the target date, and if the bid is accepted, the prices will remain firm for the specified contract period.
To submit a bid, bidders must ensure that it is signed by an authorized representative, contains all required information as specified in the RFQ, is priced as required, and is mailed or delivered to the designated address by the specified deadline.
