It is the County’s intent to award up to ten (10) contracts to provide the scope of work detailed in this RFP. The vendor(s) awarded a contract as a result of this RFP ( hereinafter referred to as ‘Contractor(s)’) will respond to Requests for Quotation (RFQ) from the County throughout the contract term.

Orders for each County requirement will be awarded to the Contractor providing the goods and services under the following combined conditions:

• Timely, complete and accurate quotes.
• Meets the County’s requirements specified in the RFQ.
• Lowest competitive price (inclusive of any additional fees for items such as freight, special handling or overnight shipping).
• Delivery Time, if specified by the County.

The County will issue a standard Request for Quotation (RFQ) form to all Contractors awarded contracts as a result of this RFP. Contractors will submit their RFQ responses back to the requestor for evaluation by the close of business the following day, or as otherwise specified in the RFQ. RFQs will be evaluated for award based on the criteria noted above.

During the term of the contract, the County may implement an IT Commodities Quotation System which will notify all Contractors of the opportunity to bid on an RFQ and which will require the Contractor to submit their quotation via the IT Commodities Quotation System. If such a system is developed and implemented by the County, all Contractors will be required to utilize it in order to receive notification of RFQs and to respond to RFQs.

The County has the option to request prices for multiple items in a single RFQ and award orders for multiple items.

The County may extend, modify, re-issue, or cancel a RFQ at any time.
