The total of each bid shall be firm and irrevocable. Each quotation should be on your company letterhead and specific in regard to cost of services. Bid prices shall include any and all costs associated with services. The Logan County Board of Education reserves the right to require any bidder to furnish, free of charge, samples of the bid products tagged with bidder's name and bid identification. Samples will be returned to the bidder at bidder's request and expense. The product numbers and/or brand names (if and when) used in the specifications are to indicate a minimum standard of acceptable quality and if not stated "or equal" shall be implied. It is not the intent to limit acceptance to any one material or product specified, but rather to name or describe it as the absolute minimum standard that is desired or acceptable. However, if a bidder bids an item(s) other than what is specified, he shall so indicate, and the responsibility of providing a substituted item as an equal to that specified shall be the duty of the bidder; it shall not be the responsibility of the Logan County board of Education. Proof of an item(s) being equal shall accompany the bid and be indexed to the item(s) as contained in the specifications. The Logan County Board of Education reserves the absolute authority to determine the equivalency of a substitution to a specified product. By making requests for substitution the contractor warrants: a. That he has personally investigated the proposed substitute product and determined that it is equal or superior in all aspects to that specified. b. That the vendor will provide the same warranty for the substitution that the contractor would for the specified product.That the vendor's bid is complete and includes all related costs under the contract and he hereby waive all claims for additional costs related to the substitution, which subsequently becomes apparent.
