The County of Bland is requesting proposals for the removal and replacement of roof coverings for the Bland County Courthouse and Extension Office. If you need any reasonable accommodation for any type of disability in order to participate in this procurement, please contact this division as soon as possible. The intent of this Request for Proposal and resulting contract is to obtain the services of a qualified contractor to remove/replace roof coverings on the Bland County Courthouse and Extension Office. 1. A bidder may withdraw or cancel a bid or proposal at any time prior to the date set for opening. After such time, the bidder may not withdraw for a period of sixty (60) calendar days. Any bidder may be required to clarify his bid or acknowledge by written confirmation that the minimum requirements of the request for proposal are included in the bidder's proposal. 2. Any invitation to bid, a request for proposal, any other solicitation or any and all bids or proposals may be canceled or rejected when it is determined that it is in the best interest of the County to do so. The reasons therefore shall be made a part of the contract file. Any bid which is incomplete, conditional, obscure, or which is not in conformance with the specifications may be rejected, or any such irregularities may be waived at the option of the County. 3. If more than one bid or proposal received is for the same total amount or unit price, quality and service being equal, the tie bidders shall be invited to resubmit written bids below the original bid and the award shall be made to the bidder with the lowest price. 4. If the lowest acceptable bid exceeds available funds, the County may negotiate with the bidder to obtain a contract price within available funds. The negotiations shall be confined to a reduction in the contract price and shall not deal with changes in the contract requirements. 5. Except in the case of an emergency affecting the public health safety or welfare, no contract shall be awarded on the basis of cost plus a percentage of cost. This paragraph shall not apply to contracts of insurance. Public contracts may be awarded on any other basis. 6. No contract other than one for the professional services of an accountant, architect, land surveyor, landscape architect, attorney, doctor of medicine or optometry or professional engineer, shall be awarded for a period in excess of three (3) years. Nothing in any resulting contract shall be construed as authority for either party to make commitments which will bind the other party beyond the scope of service contained herein. This contract is subject to appropriations by the County.
