The document is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the County of DuPage, Illinois. It provides instructions and guidelines for bidders to submit their bids for a specific project. The document states that bidders must enclose their bids in a sealed envelope with the bid number and title. Bidders must sign the bid form, and unsigned bids will not be considered. The document also mentions the possibility of submitting alternate/equal bids. The specifications may mention specific brand names or models, but alternative products of equal specifications can be proposed as long as they are accompanied by the manufacturer's specifications and literature. The Procurement Manager will determine if the alternate item is equal to the specified item. Bidders are encouraged to submit cost-saving/value-added alternate bid pricing suggestions, such as rebates, lease agreements, extended warranty periods, trade-in allowances, or discounts for floor model or demonstrator units. The County recognizes the expertise of bidders and encourages creativity in bidding. The document also mentions that the County reserves the right to approve deviations from the specifications if they substantially comply. Bidders can request exceptions up to seven days prior to bid opening. Bidders are responsible for carefully examining the bid and specifications, and any errors resulting from their failure to comply with the instructions will be their responsibility. Facsimile and email transmitted bids are not accepted. If bidders are uncertain about any part of the specifications or the ITB, they are expected to contact the Procurement Services Division at least seven days before the bid opening date. The document provides instructions for the preparation of bids, including filling in all blanks, acknowledging receipt of addenda, and submitting prices for all items. Unit prices must be extended, and the total bid amount must be indicated. The document also mentions that discrepancies between unit prices and totals will be resolved, and the true sum will prevail. Additionally, the document states that if a bidder operates as a "Partnership" or "Sole Proprietor" under an Assumed Name, they must be registered with the Illinois government. The document concludes by stating that bidders should not make erasures or alterations, and bids with omissions, erasures, conditions, or alterations may be rejected. It also specifies the signing requirements for corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietors.
