The Authority may make an award, and/or subsequently accept any proposal, as to all of the items set forth in Exhibit 4 as to which the Bidder has proposed prices or as to any single item or combination of items specified therein, unless Exhibit 4 provides that the award will be made on a lowest, total-bid basis.

Bidders may include exceptions to Exhibit 4, but only to the extent that the Authority, in its sole discretion, determines that such exceptions do not constitute material changes thereto, and by submitting this Proposal the Bidder expressly waives any right to contest any such determination by the Authority. ELA 21-10 REFUSE CHASSIS Page 5 11. DATE, TIME AND PLACE OF DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF ITEMS. If this Proposal is accepted by the Authority in whole or in part, the Bidder will deliver the accepted items, F.O.B. destination, as provided in Exhibit 4, on the date or dates also set forth in Exhibit 4. The items delivered must conform to Exhibit 4 or the accepted Proposal. Deliveries to be made to garages should be scheduled with the garage supervisors at least one (1) day in advance. The Chairperson of the Authority, or his designee, shall have a reasonable time in which to inspect the items so delivered, to determine if the Authority will accept them. In the event any of the items delivered by the bidder do not conform to Exhibit 4 or the accepted Proposal, the Chairperson of the Authority, or his designee, may reject the same and shall notify the Bidder to replace the same with such items as shall be acceptable to him and which shall be in accordance with Exhibit 4 or the accepted Proposal. If such satisfactory replacement is not made within a reasonable time, as determined by the Authority in its sole discretion (as to which the Bidder hereby expressly waives any right to contest), the Authority shall replace such items from other sources, and, in doing so, shall have the right to recover any price differential and administrative costs, as well as any costs incurred by the Authority in returning delivered items to the Bidder, from the Bidder who has failed to make said replacements. 12. PRICES. All prices submitted by the Bidder in Exhibit 4 shall be based upon the following: a. b. No taxes of any kind shall be included in any price. All transportation costs of every kind, including transit insurance, required to effectuate the delivery of the items shall be included in every price. All items shall be delivered F.O.B. destination. No discounts of any kind shall be included in any price. Discounts, if any, offered to the Authority for prompt payment shall be available for a period of not less than forty-five (45) days after acceptance by the Authority of the items. If offered, discounts must apply to the total price of items as to which the Authority accepts this Proposal, which may be fewer than the total number of items as to which the Bidder proposes prices on Exhibit 4. The size of discounts, but not the length of time therefore after forty-five (45) days, will be considered by the Authority in determining the lowest responsible bid meeting specifications. Exhibit 4 provides an opportunity for the Bidder to set forth discount terms. All prices quoted shall be firm prices without contingencies for increase. No reference to price increases is permitted. No price increases will be permitted for any reason, including inflation or scarcity. The Bidder hereby expressly waives its right to the defense of impracticability of performance or similar defenses. No separate terms, including, but not limited to, interest of any kind or in any amount, may be included for late or partial payments by the Authority. c. d. 13. BID AND PERFORMANCE BONDS AND OTHER SECURITY. No Proposal shall be proper and qualify for acceptance by the Authority unless it is accompanied by a bid bond in the form attached to this Proposal as Exhibit 1, unless total bid is less than $200,000.00, (See Exhibit 4; Section 6). A successful Bidder shall promptly furnish to the Authority a performance bond in the form attached to this Proposal as Exhibit 2. All bid and performance bonds shall be in the amount as specified in Exhibit 4. However, the amount of the bid bond or the performance bond required may be reduced to an amount not less than ten (10%) percent of the total of all prices proposed by the Bidder on Exhibit 4 in the sole discretion of the Authority, if so provided in Exhibit 4 or at any time after acceptance of any proposals, in ELA 21-10 REFUSE CHASSIS Page 6 the sole discretion of the Authority. The requirements of a bid bond and a performance bond may be substituted for by a certified or cashier's check, or an irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit, of equal amount payable to the Authority accompanying this Proposal or upon the acceptance hereof. The Authority is under no duty to invest any certified or cashier's checks and such checks delivered with respect to a bid will be returned to all unsuccessful bidders only after the expiration of sixty (60) days from the opening date of this Proposal, and will be returned to each successful bidder only after the Authority has accepted delivery of the items which said bidder has contracted to supply or upon the substitution of such certified/cashier's check or letters of credit with a performance bond meeting the requirements hereof. The Authority may, in its sole discretion, return all unsuccessful bidder's checks or letters of Credit or Bond within said sixty (60) day period. In addition, in the event that the Bidder delivers a certified or cashier's check in lieu of the performance bond, the Bidder hereby expressly authorizes the Authority to retain such check beyond the date that the Authority has accepted delivery of all items which the Bidder has contracted to supply. This additional security shall be deemed to be a warranty bond the purpose of which shall be to secure the performance, by the Bidder, of all obligations arising from the manufacturer's warranty. The warranty bond shall remain in effect until the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty. The Authority may, however, at its sole discretion, reduce the amount of such warranty bond, reduce the duration of its effectiveness, or totally waive its requirement. 14. DAMAGES. The Bidder and its surety on the bid , a letter of Credit and performance bond, or the Bidder with reference to a certified check submitted in lieu of such bond or bonds, shall be liable to the extent of damages actually sustained by the Authority and caused by the Bidder's default. As used in this paragraph, "default" means any breach of the terms of conditions of this Proposal which would proximately result in (a) the Authority's purchasing such items at additional cost, which due to inflation or otherwise, and/or (b) the Authority's incurring additional administrative costs, and/or (c) the Authority's paying the Bidder more than necessary for such items due to collusion. The Bidder's responsibility to pay damages is not limited to the amount of any such financial security delivered to the Authority. The Bidder and the surety shall be liable, singly or jointly, for liquidated damages, in addition to other damages authorized in this paragraph, in the amount per day specified in Exhibit 4. It is the express intent of both the Bidder and the Authority that such liquidated damages shall represent a good faith effort to estimate, in advance, the actual damages that will ensue by a default by the Bidder and that such damages in no way represent a penalty for non-performance. In addition to the damages specified in this paragraph, and elsewhere in this Proposal, the Authority reserves the right to accept the Proposal(s) of other Bidder(s) for those items involved in the default, or to seek additional bidder(s) for the same, and to cancel, without liability to the Authority, the acceptance of the Proposal of the defaulting Bidder. Additionally, it may be considered a default, in the sole discretion of the Authority, if lawsuits, liens or claims, including, but not limited to, lawsuits involving patents or inventions, of third parties involving the items delivered have been filed against the Authority. The Bidder hereby expressly agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Authority from all such lawsuits, liens or claims, and further expressly agrees that the Authority may, in its sole discretion, retain as security for the performance of such indemnification, such amount, as the Authority solely determine to be appropriate, of any payment due the Bidder under this Proposal. If the Authority breaches this Proposal after its acceptance thereof, the Bidder hereby expressly agrees that its damages will be limited to, but may be less than, the total amount of its bid set forth in Exhibit 4. ELA 21-10 REFUSE CHASSIS Page 7 15. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The Bidder hereby certifies that no member of the Authority or officer or employee thereof is either directly or indirectly a party to or is in any manner interested in this Proposal. The Bidder here-by acknowledges that if this Proposal is accepted in violation of the immediately preceding certification, this Proposal shall be null and void and no action may be maintained hereon against the Authority. The Bidder hereby agrees to make available to the Authority, upon request, the names of all of its partners or shareholders (to the extent reasonably practicable). 16. LAWSUITS BY OR AGAINST THE AUTHORITY. The Bidder hereby agrees to provide, without expense to the Authority, such evidence and information as may been its possession or reasonably available to it as may be useful, in the judgment of the Authority, in any lawsuit filed or threatened to be filed by or against the Authority. 17. COLLUSION. The Bidder hereby certifies that it has not engaged in collusion of any kind concerning this Proposal. 18. ASSIGNMENT OF ANTITRUST CLAIMS. By submitting this Proposal to the Authority, the Bidder hereby offers to assign, sell and transfer to the Authority all rights, title and interest in and to all causes of action which the Bidder may have under the antitrust laws of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any other state, for price fixing, which causes of action have accrued prior to the effective date of said assignment, and which relate solely to the particular items purchased or procured by the Authority pursuant to this Proposal. Such offer of assignment shall be deemed to be accepted by the Authority upon final payment by the Authority to the Bidder for such items. 19. SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES. The Bidder expressly agrees that in the event of any disagreement or controversy arising between the Authority and the Bidder, as to the interpretation of Exhibit 4 or the interpretation or proper execution of this Proposal or as to the settlement hereunder, or in the event of any disagreement as to any question or matter whatever which may arise or be in dispute under this Proposal or said Exhibit 4 or as to the terms or conditions thereof, such disagreement or controversy shall be immediately inquired into and decided by the Chairperson of the Authority, whose decision thereon, based upon the reasonable exercise of the discretion granted herein, shall be final and conclusive as to all matters in controversy. 20. ASSIGNMENTS. This Proposal may not be assigned by the Bidder without the prior written consent of the Authority. An assignment made without such written consent may be considered as a breach hereof, in the sole discretion of the Authority, for which, among other things, bid and performance bonds, or checks in lieu thereof, may be forfeited. Any assignment agreed to by the Authority shall not relieve the Bidder of its responsibilities under this Proposal, and the Bidder shall remain liable hereon. The Bidder agrees to terminate any assignment immediately upon notification by the Authority, and if the Bidder does not agree with the Authority as to such termination, the Bidder nonetheless agrees to accomplish such termination immediately and then to proceed with the settlement of said controversy in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Proposal. This paragraph is expressly applicable to subcontractors, as well as to assignments, and to any and all delegations by the Bidder of duties under this Proposal. ELA 21-10 REFUSE CHASSIS Page 8 21. APPLICABLE LAW. This Proposal shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in effect on the effective date hereof. With respect to matters not specified in this Proposal, the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall govern, including, but not limited to, the Municipality Authorities Law of 1945, P. L. 382, 53 P.S. 301 et seq. 22. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. This Proposal, together with all exhibits and any supplements, amendments, addenda and/or riders thereto, when accepted by the Authority, shall constitute the contract between the Bidder and the Authority. Such contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns where permitted by this Proposal. 23. SEVERABILITY In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Proposal shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Proposal shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 24. CAPTIONS. The captions herein are inserted only for convenience of reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Proposal or any particular paragraph or section hereof, nor the proper construction hereof. 25. MBE/WBE SOLICITATION AND COMMITMENT - It is the Authority's current goal to encourage increased minority and women's participation in all Authority contracts. It is believed that it is reasonable to expect that within five years minority participation will constitute twenty-five percent (25%) and women's participation will constitute ten percent (10%) of the total dollar of Authority contracts. The Authority, therefore, requires that all bidders demonstrate a good faith effort to obtain the participation of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises in work to be performed under this contract. In order to demonstrate this good faith commitment, all bidders are required to complete and submit with their bids either an MBE/WBE Solicitation and Commitment Statement, which details the efforts made by the bidder to obtain such participation, or an MBE/WBE Commitment Waiver Request. Failure to submit either an MBE/WBE Solicitation and Commitment statement or an MBE/WBE Commitment Waiver Request may result in rejection of the bid. (Exhibit B) A. B. Bids must be accompanied by either an MBE/WBE Solicitation and Commitment Statement or an MBE/WBE Commitment Waiver Request. On contracts for $25,000 or more, the performance security will be retained by the Authority at least until all work is performed under the contract and the contractor submits a final report to the Authority detailing the actual levels of MBE and WBE participation as well as explaining any failure to meet MBE and WBE goals which had been stated in the previously submitted MBE/WBE Solicitation and Commitment Statement. The report must be submitted within thirty (30) days after the Authority's request. 26. MBE/WBE REPORT - By entering into a contract with the Authority the bidder agrees to submit a final report, within thirty (30)days of the request, detailing the actual levels of MBE and WBE participation in the contract. Any disparity between actual participation levels and the Statement will be explained in the final report. The performance security will be retained by the Authority at least until such time as the MBE/WBE participation report is received. Failure to make a good faith effort to meet the goals stated in the MBE/WBE Solicitation and Commitment Statement may be considered a material breach of the contract resulting in debarment from participation in future contracts. ELA 21-10 REFUSE CHASSIS Page 9 By its execution hereof in the space(s) provided below, the Bidder represents and certifies that it has carefully read this Proposal, including the Exhibits attached hereto, and fully understands the meaning of the same, and hereby agrees that it will comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and further represents that the Bidder intends for the Authority to rely upon this representation and certification.
