In connection with the performance of work, the Bidder agrees to comply with the Fair Labor Standard Act, Equal Opportunity Employment Act, and all other applicable ITB#106-04/15M.doc ITB #106-04/13M, Refurbish Refuse Containers -Annual Pricing Federal, State, and Local laws, regulations, and executive orders to the extent that the same may be applicable. 13.7 NO INDIVIDUAL OF ANY USING DEPARTMENT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO LEGALLY AND/OR FINANCIALLY COMMIT THE CITY TO ANY CONTRACT, AGREEMENT OR PURCHASE ORDER FOR GOODS OR SERVICES, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SANCTIONED BY THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS INVITATION TO BID. 13.8 Responsible Bidder Criteria: The City shall consider only responsible Bidders. Responsible Bidders are those that have, in the sole judgment of the City, the financial ability, experience, resources, skills, capability, reliability and business integrity necessary to perform the requirements of the contract. The City may also consider references and financial stability in determining a responsible Bidder. 14 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 14.1 Bidder agrees that it will not discriminate in hiring, promotion, treatment, or other terms and conditions of employment based on race, sex, national origin, age, disability, or in any way violative of Title VII of 1964 Civil Rights Act and amendments, except as permitted by said laws. 15 SPECIFICATIONS 15.1 Any catalog, brand name or manufacturer's reference in the specifications is descriptive and NOT restrictive, and are used to indicate type and quality level desired. Bids on brands of like nature and quality may be considered unless specifically excluded. 15.2 If bidding on other than reference or specifications, bid must show manufacturer, brand, trade name, catalog and/or lot number, etc., on article offered and certify article offered is equivalent to specifications. If other than specified brand of items are offered, specifications, catalog sheets, illustrations and complete descriptive literature must be submitted with bid. 15.3 Minor deviations from written specifications shall not necessarily disqualify a vendor's bid. The City of Lubbock specification committee will be the sole determiner of what constitutes a minor deviation. 15.4 The City may deem it necessary to specify Approved Brands after conclusive testing, prior to usage or standardization. The City may test any sample(s), supplied free of charge, to qualify for the Approved Brand list. Each sample must be marked with bidders name and address. At bidder's request and expense, the sample(s) not destroyed or used in examinations and testing will be returned. 15.5 When specifications call for samples to be submitted, samples shall be delivered by the bidder, at bidder's expense, five days prior to the opening of bids. Each sample shall be clearly tagged to show bidder's name and address and item number. 15.6 The City of Lubbock reserves the right to determine which specific items on any specification requirements require strict adherence, or are most important, and those that are not, or requiring a lesser degree of importance (i.e., the shade of paint is far less important than the horsepower of a motor). Such determination can and will be a basis for evaluating, recommending and making award. The City will, at its sole discretion, assess warranty offered, and utilize life -cycle costing and/or performance factors as the evaluation method and basis for award. The low bid most closely meeting specifications is usually the bid given the award, although delivery time is sometimes a necessary factor (i.e., a low bid that best meets specifications will not do us much good if delivery is two years from now). Should a requested specification sheet not be submitted with a bid, this is considered non -responsive and therefore may not be considered.
