RFPs
Bidding
It
is the City's desire to maintain a competitive bid process for
all purchases and to make awards for bids based on the lowest
responsible and responsive bid received. "Lowest responsible bidder"
means the lowest bidder whose offer best responds in quality,
fitness and capacity to the requirement of the proposed supply
or service. Such factors as delivery time, quality, compatibility,
references, experiences, parts and services, freight cost, etc.,
may play an important role in awarding a bid the "lowest responsible
bidder." A "responsive" bid is one that is in substantial conformance
with the requirements of the specifications, the invitation to
bid and the City's contractual terms and conditions. This would
also include such things as completeness of the quotation, forms,
inclusion of references and attachments and completion of required
responses.
