pricing prevails.
SILENCE OF SPECIFICATIONS

regarded as meaning that only the best commercial practice is to prevail and that only material and workmanship of the finest quality are to be used.

latest product in production to commercial trade and shall be of the highest quality as to materials used and workmanship. Manufacturer furnishing
these items shall be experienced in design and construction of such items and shall be an established supplier of the item bid.

bid, must also be in the returned bid package. Failure to include all necessary and proper supplemental materials may be cause to reject the entire
bid.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Under the "Hazardous Communication Act", commonly known as the "Texas Right To Know Act", a offeror must provide to the County with each
delivery, material safety data sheets which are applicable to hazardous substances defined in the Act. Failure of the offeror to furnish this
documentation will be cause to reject any bid applying thereto.
NAME BRANDS
Specifications may reference name brands and model numbers. It is not the intent of Harris County to restrict these bids in such cases, but to
establish a desired quality level of merchandise or to meet a pre-established standard due to like existing items. Offerors may offer items of equal
stature and the burden of proof of such stature rests with offerors. Harris County shall act as sole judge in determining equality and acceptability of
products offered.
COLOR SELECTION
Determination of colors of materials is a right reserved by the using department unless otherwise specified in the bid. Unspecified colors shall be
quoted as standard colors, NOT colors which require upcharges or special handling. Unspecified fabrics or vinyls should be construed as medium
grade. If offeror fails to get color/material approvals prior to delivery of merchandise, the using department may refuse to accept the items and
demand correct shipment without penalty, subject to other legal remedies.
EVALUATION
Evaluation shall be used as a determinant as to which bid items or services are the most efficient and/or most economical for the County. It shall be
based on all factors which have a bearing on price and performance of the items in the user environment. All bids are subject to tabulation by the
Harris County Purchasing Department and recommendation to Harris County Commissioners Court. Compliance with all bid requirements, delivery
and needs of the using department are considerations in evaluating bids. Pricing is NOT the only criteria for making a recommendation. The
Harris County Purchasing Department reserves the right to contact any offeror, at any time, to clarify, verify or request information with regard to
any bid.
INSPECTIONS
Harris County reserves the right to inspect any item(s) or service location for compliance with specifications and requirements and needs of the using
department. If an offeror cannot furnish a sample of a bid item, where applicable, for review, or fails to satisfactorily show an ability to perform, the
County can reject the bid as inadequate.
TESTING
Harris County reserves the right to test equipment, supplies, material and goods bid for quality, compliance with specifications and ability to meet the
needs of the user. Demonstration units must be available for review. Should the goods or services fail to meet requirements and/or be unavailable
for evaluation, the bid is subject to rejection.
DISQUALIFICATION OF OFFEROR
Upon signing this bid document, an offeror offering to sell supplies, materials, services, or equipment to Harris County certifies that the offeror has
not violated the antitrust laws of this state codified in Texas Business and Commerce Code §15.01, et seq., as amended, or the federal antitrust laws,
and has not communicated directly or indirectly the bid made to any competitor or any other person engaged in such line of business. Any or all bids
may be rejected if the County believes that collusion exists among the offerors. Bids in which the prices are obviously unbalanced may be rejected.
If multiple bids are submitted by a offeror and after the bids are opened, one of the bids is withdrawn, the result will be that all of the bids submitted
by that offeror will be withdrawn, however, nothing herein prohibits a vendor from submitting multiple bids for different products or services.
AWARD
Page 4 of 33
Harris County reserves the right to award this contract on the basis of LOWEST AND BEST BID in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas,
to waive any formality or irregularity, to make awards to more than one offeror, to reject any or all bids. In the event the lowest dollar offeror
meeting specifications is not awarded a contract, the offeror may appear before the Commissioners Court or Hospital District Board of Managers, as
applicable, and present evidence concerning his responsibility.
ASSIGNMENT

order and said cost will be included. Service will commence only upon expiration of applicable warranties and should be priced accordingly.
CONTRACT OBLIGATION
Harris County Commissioners Court must award the contract and the County Judge or other person authorized by the Harris County Commissioners
Court must sign the contract before it becomes binding on Harris County or the offerors. Department heads are NOT authorized to sign agreements
for Harris County. Binding agreements shall remain in effect until all products and/or services covered by this purchase have been satisfactorily

points of delivery. Receiving times may vary with the using department. Generally, deliveries may be made between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. Offerors are advised to consult the using department for instructions. The place of delivery shall be shown under the
"Special Requirements/Instructions" section of this bid package and/or on the Purchase Order as a "Deliver To:" address.
WARRANTIES
Offerors shall furnish all data pertinent to warranties or guarantees which may apply to items in the bid. Offerors may not limit or exclude any

may return the product for correction or replacement at the offeror's expense. If offeror fails to make the appropriate correction within a reasonable
time, Harris County may correct at the offeror's expense.
PURCHASE ORDER AND DELIVERY

Pricing/Delivery Information form. Any special information concerning delivery should also be included, on a separate sheet, if necessary. All items
shall be shipped F.O.B. INSIDE DELIVERY unless otherwise stated in the specifications. This shall be understood to include bringing
merchandise to the appropriate room or place designated by the using department. Every tender or delivery of goods must fully comply with all
provisions of these requirements and the specifications including time, delivery and quality. Nonconformance shall constitute a breach which must
be rectified prior to expiration of the time for performance. Failure to rectify within the performance period will be considered cause to reject future
deliveries and cancellation of the contract by Harris County without prejudice to other remedies provided by law. Where delivery times are
critical, Harris County reserves the right to award accordingly.
CONTRACT RENEWALS
Renewals may be made ONLY by written agreement between Harris County and the offeror. Any price escalations are limited to those stated by the
offeror in the original bid.

County will pay on invoice. Contracts providing for a monthly charge will be billed and paid on a monthly basis only.
Page 5 of 33

the offeror becomes insolvent or commits acts of bankruptcy. Such right of termination is in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies which
Harris County may have in law or equity. Default may be construed as, but not limited to, failure to deliver the proper goods and/or services within
the proper amount of time, and/or to properly perform any and all services required to Harris County's satisfaction and/or to meet all other obligations
and requirements. Contracts may be terminated without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to either party unless otherwise specified.

preference application.

conflict between the terms and provisions of the County's published bid specifications, or any portion thereof, and the terms and provisions of the bid
response made by offeror, the County's bid specifications as published shall control. Furthermore, if an alteration of any kind to the County's
