Bid Award: OPS reserves the right to reject any or all bids or any part thereof and to waive any and all technicalities and irregularities. OPS reserves the right to make multiple awards to bidders for some of the Products specified or may award the bid to one bidder for all Products. The OPS Board of Education must approve all bid awards and contracts of $50,000.00 or more. Except due to a holiday or an extenuating circumstance, the Board generally meets the first and third Monday of each month for approval of bids and purchases.

OPS will either sign a contract with or issue an official purchase order to the successful bidder which will constitute the contract with OPS for the purchase of the Product or Products specified in the contract or purchase order and will incorporate by reference into the contract or purchase order the Contract Documents (defined in Article III General Terms and Condition, paragraph 1 below). OPS will submit to the successful bidder after the bid award the contract form that will be utilized by the parties.
