Sealed responses may be submitted to the Taney County Purchasing Office until the solicitation closing date and time indicated herein, subject to Instructions and General Conditions and any special conditions. United States Postal Service ("U.S.P.S.") WARNING: Because there is no mail delivery service at our offices, we strongly discourage bidders from using the U.S.P.S. If a Bidder elects to use the U.S.P.S., do NOT send "return receipt requested." The Post Office only recognizes the P.O. Box address. Other delivery services require the physical address. It is the Bidder's responsibility to ensure responses are delivered in a timely fashion to the Purchasing Department. Courier or hand delivery is recommended. Award/Timeline: Recommendation for award will be made formally to the Taney County Commission as soon as possible after a complete departmental review. Updates may be sent via email should the award process become delayed, 10 or more days, for any reason. Withdrawals: Responses may be withdrawn on written request from the Bidder at the address shown prior to the time of acceptance of the response. Once a response is opened, and accepted, it can only be withdrawn by order of the Taney County Commission Sealed & Marked: Responses must be submitted in a sealed envelope identified with the bid number and dates of closing & opening. List the bid number on the outside surface of the box or envelope and note "Response to Request for Bid enclosed" with a return name & address. No fax or electronic transmitted responses will be accepted. Payment Terms: Standard payment terms are Net 30 after receipt of an invoice. The County cannot, and will not, agree to any other payment terms. Once products, or services, are received and accepted, Taney County will process payment in full. Invoices need to be issued and mailed to the requesting department - not Purchasing. Multiple Awards: Responses may be awarded to one company or multiple companies, when such award is deemed in the best interest of the County. Bid Term: All Responses submitted shall be binding and remain firm for ninety (90) calendar days following the opening, unless otherwise indicated. Pricing/Costs submitted with a response must be honored for that set timeframe. Submitted pricing, once opened, cannot be changed for any reason. Any such changes will disqualify that response.
