2024 -2025 Liquid Propane All bids are to be sealed and marked on the outside "Bid for Liquid Propane.” Bid prices must be firm for length of contract (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025). No bidder may withdraw his bid for a period of sixty (60) days after date set for the opening thereof. A violation of this provision on part of the bidder or a failure to comply with the award made him shall forfeit to the Owner his deposit as liquidated damages for his breach of this provision. The bid award will be based on the lowest responsible bidder complying with the conditions of the invitation to bid, provided his bid is reasonable and it is to the interest of the owner to accept it. The owner, however, reserves the right to reject any and all bids or parts thereof or items therein and to waive any informality in bids received wherever such rejections or waiver is in the interest of the owner. The owner also reserves the right to reject the bid of a bidder who has previously failed to perform properly or complete on time, bids of a similar nature, or the bid of a bidder who is not in a position, in the opinion of the owner, to perform the bid. Each bidder shall be required to attach to his bid a certified check or bid bond in the amount of five percent (5%) of the base bid. The bidder agrees that the amount of this check is the amount of liquidated damages that will be sustained by the owner in the event of his failure to supply the materials within 120 days from notifications of award of the contract. This check shall then become the property of the School District. All checks, except as stated above, will be promptly returned. Bid items that have been awarded to a vendor are expected to be delivered at the price specified on the vendor’s bid. Failure to deliver a specified bid item will result in vendor forfeiting required 5% bid bond or certified check up to the amount of the next low bidder. The maximum amount a vendor can forfeit by failing to supply a specified bid item is the entire 5% bid bond or certified check.
