The purpose of this Request for Quote (RFQ) package is to solicit quotes for the efficient completion of spring planting work outlined in the attached project description and contract documents. Questions pertaining to RFQ specifications must be submitted in writing via email to Patsi Shandera at pshandera@idl.idaho.gov. The deadline for receiving questions is 1:00 PM, MT, Tuesday, March 23, 2022. Only questions answered by written amendment are binding. Oral interpretations have no legal effect. Unofficial communication streams are not binding and at your own risk. Responses to questions received will be posted as an addendum on the IDL website electronically. Verbal questions will not be accepted. To guarantee full and faithful compliance with the terms and conditions of the contract, IDL may require a performance bond, at the discretion of IDL, in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total contract price on all contracts with a total contract value of $10,000 or more. When required, IDL will hold the performance bond until all project work has been satisfactorily completed and IDL receives the affidavit of compliance. IDL will require the performance bond in the form of cash, by certified check, or money order made payable to the Treasurer, State of Idaho. The Contractor must submit the performance bond to the State prior to the execution of the contract by the IDL. In lieu of a cash bond, contractors may submit a Certificate of Deposit or Letter of Credit in a form that is acceptable to the State. IDL must approve such documents prior to the execution of the contract. All price quotes must be entered on the attached Schedule A. All fields on the Schedule A must be completed with a dollar amount to be considered. The signed Schedule A may be returned to either the Email or physical address listed below. Idaho Department of Lands shall award the contract to the qualified Contractor submitting the lowest responsible and responsive quote. In the case of math errors, the PRICE PER UNIT OF MEASURE will be correctly extended and the corrected TOTAL EXTENDED AMOUNT will be the basis for award. The State shall not be required to provide advance written notice or a cure period and may immediately terminate this Contract in whole or in part for an Event of Default if the State, in its sole discretion, determines that it is reasonably necessary to preserve public safety or prevent immediate public crisis. Time allowed for cure shall not diminish or eliminate Contractor's liability for damages, including liquidated damages to the extent provided for under this Contract. Payment will be made to the Contractor upon satisfactory completion of all fieldwork at the rates set forth in Schedule A. Invoices must be sent to Chase Bolyard - cbolyard@idl.idaho.gov. Payment will be made after receipt of contractor's itemized invoice for satisfactorily completed work. Itemized invoices shall be submitted no more than monthly and will include a description of services completed during the period being invoiced. Prior to the issuance of a contract, the State shall have the right to reject all quotations or to cancel a solicitation or request for quotations.
