Award of a contract will be based on criteria set forth in City Code Sections 15.1-42 through 15.1-47. The entire City Code section on Procurement is available for inspection in the City Manager's Office. The City of Radford is an equal opportunity employer and requires that the successful bidder execute an antidiscrimination and equal opportunity guarantee prior to the award of a contract. The right to reject any and all proposals and to waive any informality is herewith reserved exclusively by the City. All bids are the property of the City of Radford and are available for public inspection. The City is required to handle each proposal so that disclosure of the identity of any bidder in the contents of any proposal to competing bidders during the process of bidding or negotiation does not occur. Therefore, each bid proposal shall be provided by the bidder in a plain envelope indicating only the subject upon which the bid is being entered. The City will not be held responsible for proposals not marked. Until and unless the responsive proposal from the lowest responsible bidder is rejected or cancelled, the City reserves the right to negotiate with the apparent low bidder for the lower contract price in the event the proposal from the lowestresponsible bidder exceeds funds made available for thepurchase by the City. Changes or modifications may be made or authorized by the City, in the requirement of any of the contract documents, including the plans and specifications, which may be deemed appropriate by the City or which could be accomplished by a change order after the contract is awarded. If such negotiations result in a contract price within available funds, the City may award the contract based thereon, but reserves to itself the right to reject thesame for any reason deemed sufficient by it, in which event the project may be re-advertised or not, as the City deems to be in its interests.
