This Invitation for Bids IFB is issued in accordance with the State of Utah Procurement Code and the Utah Administrative Code. If any provision of this IFB conflicts with the Utah Procurement Code or the Utah Administrative Code, then Utah Procurement Code and then Utah Administrative Code will take precedence. The purpose of this IFB is to enter into a contract with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder to provide: various seeds for fall. It is anticipated that this IFB will result in multiple contract awards. The methodology or formula that will be used to determine the number of contract awards is: All awards will be based upon the lowest pure live seed (PLS Price per Pound carried out to three decimals places) price offered and the nearest date of delivery for each item meeting the minimum seed bid specifications (listed on the request spreadsheet) for that line item. Each bid will be ranked lowest bid to highest per line item by PLS price rounded to the nearest three decimal places. Preference may be given to items that can be delivered on or before dates specified on the bid solicitation sheet (Attachment C), but items with later delivery date will be considered if they meet the timeline needs of the State. Once the lowest PLS bid of a line item, that meets the timeline needs of the State, is exhausted per supplier bid, the State will then move to the next lowest bid until the line item need is fulfilled. Past performance (including, but not limited to: failure to supply awarded seed, late delivery, repeatedly supplying seed below specifications, etc.) of the vendor may be considered when making awards. Award amount will be for Bulk Price per Pound, rounded to the nearest two decimal places. Bid prices must include delivery to the Great Basin Research Center Seed Warehouse located at 494 West 100 South, Ephraim, Utah. The bidder is responsible for any/all damage occurring in transit. All seed must be delivered on pallets to be retained by the DWR. Weight of pallets cannot exceed 2,500 lbs. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is the issuing procurement unit and the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is the conducting procurement unit for this IFB (referred to as the State). The reference number for this IFB is Solicitation #AS23-68. This solicitation number must be referred to on all bids, correspondence, and documentation submitted to the State relating to this IFB. Multiple or alternate bids will not be accepted, unless otherwise specifically required or allowed in the invitation for bids. If a bidder submits multiple or alternate bids that are not requested in this IFB, the chief procurement officer or head of a procurement unit with independent procurement authority will only accept the bidder's primary bid and will not accept any other bids constituting multiple or alternate bids
