This section should either contain a proposed
contract or address contract issues in either a general or
specific manner.
Consider attaching a completed contract, ready for
signature with a paragraph similar to the following:
Proposed Contract
Attached to the bid documents is the contract the
county desires to execute with the successful bidder. The
bidder must identify any contract changes and additions which are
requested or desired by the bidder before execution of the
contract. Changes and additions suggested must be specific.
Changes to the contract must be referenced to section or paragraph
number. Any required change that is not acceptable to the
county will result in the rejection of the bidder's proposal.
Therefore, bidders may wish to identify contract clauses as
desired rather than required. Excessive changes and
additions, or references to the bidder's "standard contract" will
be considered non-responsive.
If no contract is attached, then include "boiler
plate" terms and add a sentence such as:
If awarded the Bid, Bidder will be required to
enter into a contract with provisions that same or similar to the
following:
