BID PROPOSAL ITEMS below. Nixa Public Schools is a public school district organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of Missouri.

Nixa Public Schools may cancel this Request for Bid or reject a bid at any time prior to an award. Should Nixa Public Schools determine in writing and in its sole discretion that only one Vendor is fully qualified, or that one Vendor is clearly more highly qualified than the others under consideration, a bid proposal may be negotiated and awarded to that Vendor.

Nixa Public Schools reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids/proposals, in whole or in part, to take exception to any RFP specifications, to make an award based solely on the proposals received or to negotiate further with one or more Vendors. Nixa Public Schools also reserves the right to negotiate a contract with the selected Vendor(s), which is at variance with the RFP initially prepared by Nixa Public Schools and/or responded to by the Vendor. Failure to comply with the RFP by a Vendor, as determined by Nixa Public Schools may be grounds for the exclusion of such Vendor from further consideration by Nixa Public Schools.
