DOCUMENT
RFP - Closed Circuit Sewer Inspection Unit 2004
- YEAR CREATED: 2004
- ENTITY TYPE: City/Township
- TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
The document is a request for proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Topeka. The document outlines the terms and conditions for vendors interested in providing a CCTV Sewer Inspection Unit.
The document states that the vendor must accept the Contractual Provisions Attachment, which is incorporated into all contracts with the City. It also specifies that the contract documents, including any amendments, the response from the successful vendor, and the Contractual Provision Attachment, will form the complete understanding between the parties. In case of any conflict in language among the documents, the order of precedence is outlined.
The document further explains that a contract will only be considered entered into by the City once all required signatures and certifications have been obtained and a written contract has been signed by the successful vendor. It also mentions that all proposals become the property of the City and are subject to public review once a contract is signed or all proposals are rejected.
Regarding taxes, the document states that the proposal price should include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, except for certain purchases for the Water Division. The City of Topeka is exempt from state sales or use taxes and federal excise taxes.
The document mentions that any vendor who defaults on delivery may be barred from bidding on subsequent requests at the discretion of the Procurement Director. It also clarifies that the City is not required to purchase insurance for loss or damage to personal property and that the vendor bears the risk in such cases.
The document highlights that all contracts entered into by the City are subject to the State of Kansas Cash Basis and Budget laws. It explains that any obligation incurred as a result of the issuance of the specifications is binding only to the extent that cash is available at the time of payment. It also states that contracts extending beyond the City's current fiscal year do not create an indebtedness or obligation for the subsequent fiscal year, and the City reserves the right to cancel any contract until the first date of the subsequent fiscal year.
In terms of proposal instructions, the document specifies that prices should be entered in the provided spaces on the proposal cost form. It emphasizes that proposals should be prepared independently and without collusion with other vendors. Technical proposals should provide a concise description of the vendor's capabilities to meet the requirements of the RFP.
The document outlines the submission process, requiring three copies of the vendor's technical proposal and one copy of the cost proposal to be sealed securely in separate envelopes or containers. It also provides the address for submission and states that faxed or telephoned proposals are not acceptable.
Other instructions include the requirement for proposals to be signed by an authorized representative and to acknowledge receipt of any addenda to the RFP. It allows for modifications and withdrawals of proposals under certain conditions.
The document mentions that at the time of closing, only the names of the vendors who submitted proposals will be made public, while price information will not be released. It provides information on how to obtain copies of individual proposals under the Kansas Open Records Act.
Finally, it states that an award is made upon execution of the written contract by all parties. Only the City is authorized to issue news releases relating to this RFP, its evaluation, award, and/or performance.
