1. Mistakes discovered following bid opening but prior to award: If there is a significant and obvious disparity between the prices of the lowest apparent responsive bidder and other bidders, the low bidder may be contacted by the purchasing authority to confirm the bid price. This does not relieve a bidder from the responsibility for the submission of a correct bid.

2. Mistakes discovered after award: Bids containing mistakes by bidders shall not be withdrawn after award of a contract or issuance of a purchase order.

Y. Precedence of Terms: All Special Conditions contained in this solicitation that may be in variance or conflict with these General Terms and Conditions shall have precedence over these General Terms and Conditions. If no changes or deletions to General Terms and Conditions are made in the Special Conditions, then the General Terms and Conditions shall prevail in their entirety.

Z. Preferences: In accordance with Section 2.2-4324 (B) of the Code of Virginia, whenever the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is a resident of any other state and such state under its laws allows a resident contractor of that state a percentage preference, a like preference shall be allowed to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who is a resident of Virginia and is the next lowest bidder. If the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is a resident of any other state and such state under its laws allows a resident contractor of that state a price-matching preference, a like preference shall be allowed to responsive and responsible bidders who are residents of Virginia. If the lowest bidder is a resident contractor of a state with an absolute preference, the bid shall not be considered. The Commonwealth’s Department of General Services shall post and maintain an updated list on its website of all states with an absolute preference for their resident contractors and those states that allow their resident contractors a percentage preference, including the respective percentage amounts. For purposes of compliance with this section, the County will rely upon the accuracy of the information posted on this website. In accordance with Section 2.2-4324 (D) of the Code of Virginia, for the purposes of this section, a Virginia person, firm or corporation shall be deemed to be a resident of Virginia if such person, firm or corporation has been organized pursuant to Virginia law or maintains a principal place of business within Virginia.

In accordance with Section 2.2-4328 of the Code of Virginia and Article 4, Section 2-47 of the County Code, in the case of a tie bid, the County may give preference to goods, services, and construction produced in the County or provided by persons, firms or corporations having principal places of business in the County. If such choice is not available, preference shall then be given to goods and services produced in the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to Code of Virginia 2.2-4324 or where goods are being offered, and existing price preferences have already been taken into account,

Page 11: CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PURCHASING DEPARTMENT …2. Bids or changes to a bid response shall not be accepted via fax or E-mail. 3. In the event that Chesterfield County government offices

Page 11 of 31 preference shall be given to the bidder whose goods contain the greatest amount of recycled content. If no County or Commonwealth of Virginia preference is applicable, the tie shall be decided by lot.

Any exception to this application of policies shall be approved by the CCPS Department of Technology/County Information Security Manager and Chief Information Officer or designees.

FF. Taxes: Chesterfield County is exempt from payment of Federal Excise Tax and State and Local Sales and Use Tax on all tangible personal property purchased or leased by Chesterfield County for its use or consumption. Tax exemption certification will be furnished upon request. Sales tax, however, is paid by Chesterfield County on materials and supplies that are installed by a Contractor and become a part of real property. Contractors are not exempt from paying taxes on these materials and supplies, as they are considered to be a cost of doing business and should be considered in pricing when preparing a bid.

GG. Termination: It shall be the sole right of the County to terminate the contract upon written notification to the Contractor.

HH. Termination for Breach or Non-Performance: If the Contractor fails to perform the work promptly and diligently, or if the Contractor breaches the Contract in any other way, the County may:

1. after providing the Contractor with 15 days written notice, supply any workmen, equipment or materials necessary to ensure that the work is performed promptly and diligently. The County may deduct the cost of supplying additional workmen, equipment or materials from payments due to the Contractor;

2. terminate the contract, enter upon the premises, take possession of all equipment, materials or appurtenances, and employ any person or persons to finish the work.

If the contract is terminated by the County, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment from the County until completion of the work has occurred. After completion of the work, the County shall pay to the Contractor the amount of the unpaid balance due to the Contractor at the time the contract was terminated minus the cost incurred by the County to complete the work. If the cost incurred by the County to complete the work exceeds the unpaid balance due to the Contractor, the Contractor shall be due no money from the County and, instead, the Contractor shall pay to the County the difference between the unpaid balance due and the County’s cost to complete the work.

II. Vendor Rewards/Gift Programs: It is the policy of the County not to participate in any rewards programs offered by vendors and not to accept any gifts or gift cards, or other rewards from vendors for purchases made by the County. If you customarily provide, or if you plan to provide, rewards programs, gifts or gift cards, or other rewards to your customers for purchases made by such customers, you must identify this fact in your bid and demonstrate in the bid how you have applied the value of such rewards to a reduction in the price of the goods and/or services being offered to the County.

KK. Withdrawal of Bids

1. Withdrawal: Construction (Code of Virginia 2.2-4330)

A bidder for a public construction contract, other than a contract for construction or maintenance of public highways, may withdraw his bid from consideration if the price bid was substantially lower than the other bids due solely to a mistake in the bid, provided the bid was submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor, or material made directly in the compilation of a bid, which unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission can be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of original work papers, documents and materials used in the preparation of the bid sought to be withdrawn. If a bid contains both clerical and judgment mistakes, a bidder may withdraw his bid from consideration if the price bid would have been substantially lower than the other bids due solely to the clerical mistake, that was an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of a bid that shall be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of original work papers, documents and materials used in the preparation of the bid sought to be withdrawn.

The bidder shall give notice in writing to the Director of Purchasing of his claim of right to withdraw his bid within two business days after the conclusion of the bid opening procedure and shall submit original work papers with such notice. The work papers, documents and materials shall, at the bidders request, be considered as trade secrets or proprietary information subject to compliance with the provisions of Code of Virginia §2.2-4342(F).

Within 5 business days, the County will notify the bidder in writing of its decision. If the County denies the withdrawal of a bid under the provisions of this section, it shall state in such notice the reasons for its decision and award the contract to such bidder at the bid price, provided such bidder is a responsible and responsive bidder. At the same time that the notice is provided, the County will also return all work papers and copies thereof to the bidder.

2. Withdrawal: Other than Construction

A bidder for a public contract may request withdrawal of his bid from consideration if the price bid was substantially lower than the other bids due solely to a mistake therein, provided the bid was submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake, and was actually due to an unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor, or material made directly in the compilation of the bid which unintentional arithmetic error or unintentional omission can be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of work papers, documents or materials used in the preparation of the bid sought to be withdrawn. If a

Page 14 of 31 bid contains both clerical and judgment mistakes, a bidder may request withdrawal of his bid from consideration if the price bid would have been substantially lower than the other bids due solely to the clerical mistake, that was an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of a bid which shall be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection of work papers, documents or materials used in the preparation of the bid sought to be withdrawn. Such notice shall be sent to the Purchasing Department prior to award.
