The document outlines the requirements and procedures for submitting bids for alternate items, conducting demonstrations/samples, and the delivery, warranties, acceptance, and evaluation of materials for the City of Lincoln, Nebraska. According to the document, bidders must prove to the satisfaction of the City that their proposed alternate items are equal to or better than the specified product. Bidders are required to provide a complete description of the alternate items, including illustrations, performance test data, and any other necessary information for evaluation. Any variances from the specification document must be fully explained. Bidders may be requested to demonstrate the exact item(s) proposed within seven days of receiving a request from the City. The demonstration can take place at the City delivery location or a surrounding community. If the bidder does not have the item in the area, they must bear the expense of sending City personnel to the nearest location to view and inspect the proposed item(s). If the items are small and malleable or if the bidder is proposing an alternate product, they must provide a sample of the exact item, which will be returned at the bidder's expense. Delivery of the equipment or merchandise should be stated on the proposal form, and the City reserves the right to cancel orders if delivery is not made within the specified time. All bids should be based on inside delivery with all transportation charges paid. The document also addresses warranties, guarantees, and maintenance. Bidders must provide copies of manufacturer's warranties and/or guarantees and their maintenance policies and associated costs. The bidder is required to guarantee in writing that any defective components discovered within one year after acceptance will be replaced at no expense to the City. Acceptance of material is contingent upon a physical inspection and actual usage, as well as compliance with specifications and the accepted proposal. If the delivered material is found to be defective or non-compliant, the City reserves the right to cancel the order and return the materials at the bidder's expense. The document includes provisions regarding bid evaluation and award. The bid will be awarded to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder that best serves the City's requirements. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, request rebids, and waive minor irregularities. Lastly, the document includes an indemnification clause, stating that the bidder shall indemnify and save harmless the City from any losses, claims, damages, and expenses arising from the performance of the contract, except for losses caused solely by the City's negligence. This indemnification obligation is not limited to the acts made by any of the parties involved.
