Bid Preparation Costs: The University will not pay any costs in the preparation or submission of a bid. Respondent is responsible for its preparation costs. Assistance to Respondents with a Disability: In the event that a respondent has a disability, the University will make reasonable accommodation to allow them to participate, provided that the individual requesting assistance contacts the Solicitation Coordinator no later than 10 days before the response deadline. Questions/Interpretations: If any respondents find discrepancies in, or omissions from, the University's solicitation documents, or be in doubt as to their meaning, the respondent must notify Procurement Services in writing (email is acceptable) no later than 5 business days prior to the bid response deadline. Procurement Services will reply to respondent's inquiries via written addendum and will publish this addendum with the bid documents to all prospective bidders, unless Procurement Services exercises its discretion to reply only to the respondent. It is the respondent's responsibility to ensure that Procurement Services has received respondent's questions, and to check the electronic bidding system to see if Procurement Services has issued any amendments or addenda. Time of Acceptance: If a respondent fails to state a time within which a bid must be accepted, respondent acknowledges that its proposal shall remain valid for 120 calendar-days beyond the bid opening date, or until 30 days after the date that any protest is resolved, whichever is longer, and the University may accept the proposal at any time within that time period. Confidentiality: The University will not sign non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements related to respondent's response to any bid. Tennessee law limits the University's ability to withhold records from public disclosure. Respondents should assume that all documentation, including pricing, submitted to the University will be subject to public disclosure. The University hereby notifies all respondents that placing confidentiality notices on documents submitted to the University does not make the documents confidential under Tennessee law. The University will not be bound by such notices. Moreover, the University will not agree to provide advanced notice of any public disclosure or agree to assist the respondent to limit disclosure. Tax Exemption: The University is exempt from federal excise taxes and from state sales taxes on purchases of tangible personal property. Copies of the appropriate exemption documentation will be provided upon request and these taxes should not be included in the respondent's bid prices. Sales Data: Upon request, the respondent agrees to furnish the University a summary of sales made under the agreement. This data may include: delivery date, department name, invoice date, invoice number, item description, list price, method of payment, net price, order date, order method, quote number and manufacturer part number. The University may terminate the award if this information is not provided in a reasonable time period. No funds resulting from this award will be paid either directly or indirectly to any University employees, their spouses or dependent children. This prohibition applies for up to six months after they terminate their employment with the University. University reserves the right to reject the bid and negotiate terms of an agreement with the next low cost respondent or next highest point scoring respondent.
