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

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 is 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 bidder's 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. PLEASE READ AND RESPOND TO SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
CAREFULLY.

II. GENERAL CONDITIONS
**** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ****
These General Conditions apply to all bids and become a part of the terms and conditions of any bid submitted. The City
shall mean the City of Lubbock.
IQuantities: The quantities appearing in this Invitation to Bid are approximate only and the City reserves the right to
increase, decrease or delete any or all items. If the quantities of materials to be furnished are increased, such increase
shall be paid for according to the unit prices established for the item. In making its bid hereunder, the Seller expressly
recognizes the rights of the City provided herein, and further recognizes that the Seller shall have no claims against the
City for anticipated profits for the quantities called for, diminished or deleted.
2 Product Guarantee: Seller guarantees equipment or product offered will meet or exceed specifications identified in this
bid invitation. The Seller shall, upon request, replace any equipment or product proved to be defective and make any
and all adjustments necessary without any expense to the City. If at any time, the equipment or product cannot
satisfactorily meet the requirements of the specifications, the Seller shall upon written request from the City, promptly
remove such equipment or product without any further expense to the City. At the City's request, Seller will provide
evidence sufficient to demonstrate such equipment or product meets the foregoing.
Invoices: Seller shall submit separate invoices, in duplicate, on each purchase order or purchase release after each
delivery. Invoices shall indicate the purchase order or purchase release number and the supply agreement number if

ADDITIONS OR SURCHARGES.
Delivery Delay When delivery delay can be foreseen, the Seller shall give prior notice to the Purchasing Manager,
who shall have the right to extend the delivery date if reasons for delay appear acceptable. The Seller must keep the
Purchasing Manager informed at all times of the status of the order. Default in any manner under the contract,
including, but not limited to default on promised delivery, without acceptable reasons, or failure to meet specifications
hereunder authorizes the Purchasing Manager to purchase goods elsewhere and charge any increase in cost and
handling to the defaulting Seller, and/or exercise any and all rights available to it by law, equity and/or under the terms
of the contract. Every effort will be made by the Purchasing Office to locate the goods at the same or better price as
than originally contracted.
No Warranty By The City Against Infringements: As part of the contract for sale, Seller agrees to ascertain whether
goods manufactured in accordance with the specifications attached to the contract will give rise to the rightful claim of
any third person by way of infringement of the like. The City makes no warranty that the production of goods
according to the specification will not give rise to such a claim, and in no event shall The City be liable to Seller for
indemnification in the event that Seller is sued on the grounds of infringement or the like. If Seller is of the opinion
that an infringement or the like will result, he will notify the City to this effect in writing within two weeks after the
signing of the contract. If the City does not receive notice and is subsequently held liable for the infringement or the
like, Seller will save The City harmless. If Seller in good faith ascertains the production of the goods in accordance
with the specifications will result in infringement or the like, the contract shall be null and void.
Gratuities: The City may, by written notice to the Seller, cancel the contract or purchase order without liability to
Seller if it is determined by the City that gratuities, in the form of entertainment, gifts or otherwise, were offered or
given by the Seller, or any agent or representative of the Seller, to any officer or employee of the City of Lubbock with
a view toward securing a contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the awarding or amending, or the
making of any determinations with respect to the performing of such a contract. In the event the Contract is canceled
by the City pursuant to this provision, the City shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies, to recover
or withhold the amount of the cost incurred by Seller in providing such gratuities.
7 Warran -Price: a. The price to be paid by the City shall be that contained in Seller's bid which Seller warrants to be no
higher than Seller's current prices on orders by other parties for products of the kind and specification covered by the
contract for similar quantities under similar or like conditions and methods of purchase. In the event Seller breaches
ITB#05-111-BM.doc 11
ITB # 05-111-BM, Police Body Armor —Annual Pricing]
this warranty, the prices of the items shall be reduced to the Seller's current prices on orders by other, or in the
alternative. The City may cancel the contract without liability to Seller for breach or Seller's actual expenses. b. The
Seller warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure the contract upon an
agreement or understanding for commission, percentage brokerage, or contingent fee excepting bona fide employees
of bona fide established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the Seller for the purpose of securing business.
For breach or violation of this warranty the City shall have the right in addition to any other right or rights to cancel
the contract without liability and to deduct from the Contract price, or otherwise recover the full amount of such
claimed commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
8 Cancellation: The City shall have the right to cancel for default all or any part of the undelivered portion of this order
if Seller breaches any of the terms hereof including warranties of Seller or if the Seller becomes insolvent and/or files
bankruptcy or has bankruptcy filed against it. Such right to cancellation is in addition to and not in lieu of any other
remedies which the City may have in law, equity or hereunder.
9 Material Safety Data Sheets: Seller shall provide the City of Lubbock with current Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for
each chemical defined as hazardous under the Texas Hazard Communication Act (every chemical bearing any manner of
warning label on the container) to comply with provisions of the Texas Hazard Communication Act, Title 6, Subchapter D,
Chapter 502, Texas Health and Safety Code Ann. (This Act is corollary to OSHA Standard 29 CRF 1910.1200, which is
generally known as the Right to Know Law.)
10 Termination: The contract or purchase order may be terminated in whole, or in part by the City. Termination hereunder
shall be effected by the delivery to the Seller of a "Notice of Termination" specifying the extent to which the contract
or purchase order is terminated and the date upon which such termination becomes effective. In the event of said
termination, in whole or in part, provided that Seller shall not be in default under the Contract, the Seller shall be
entitled to payment only for goods actually delivered, and/or services actually performed under and in compliance with
the terms of the contract or purchase order.
11 Force Majeure: Neither party shall be held responsible for losses or damages hereunder, if the fulfillment of any terms
of provisions of the contract is delayed or prevented by strike, walkouts, acts of God, or public enemy, fire, or flood.
12 Assignment -Delegation: No right or interest in the contract shall be assigned or delegation of any obligation made by
Seller without the written permission of the City. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Seller shall be wholly
void and totally ineffective for all purposes unless made in conformity with this paragraph.
13 Waiver: No claim or right arising out of a breach of the contract can be discharged in whole or in part by a waiver or
renunciation of the claim or right unless the waiver or renunciation is supported by consideration and is in writing
signed by the aggrieved party.
14 Interpretation -Parole Evidence: This writing, plus any specifications for bids and performance provided by the City in
its advertisement for bids and any other document provided by Seller as part of his bid, is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and is intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their
agreement. Whenever a term defined by the Uniform Commercial Code is used in the contract, the definition
contained in the Code is to control.
15 Applicable Law: The Contract shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. Wherever the term "Uniform
Commercial Code" is used, it shall be construed as meaning the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of
Texas as effective and in force on the date of the contract.
16 Right To Assurance: Whenever one party to the contract in good faith has reason to question the other party's intent to
perform he may demand that the other party give written assurance of this intent to perform. In the event that a
demand is made and no assurance is given within five (5) days, the demanding party may treat this failure as an
anticipatory repudiation of the Contract.
17 Indemnification: Seller shall indemnify, defend, keep and save harmless the City, its agents, officials and employees,
against all injuries, deaths, loss, damages, claims, patent claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, which
may in anywise arise or accrue against the City in consequence of the granting of the contract or which may anywise
result therefrom, whether or not it shall be alleged or determined that the act was caused through negligence or
omission of the Seller or its employees, or of the subcontractor or assignee or its employees, if any, and the Seller
shall, at his own expense, appear, defend and pay all charges of attorneys and all costs and other expenses arising
therefrom or incurred in connection therewith, and, if any judgment shall be rendered against the City in any such
ITB#05-111-BM.doc 12
ITB # 05-111-BM, Police Body Armor— Annual Pricing]
action, the Seller shall, at its own expenses, satisfy discharge the same. Seller expressly understands and agrees that
any bond required by the contract, or otherwise provided by Seller, shall in no way limit the responsibility to
indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the City as herein provided.
18 Nonappropriation: All funds for payment by the City under this contract are subject to the availability of an annual
appropriation for this purpose by the City. In the event of nonappropriation of funds by the City Council of the City of
Lubbock for the goods or services provided under the contract, the City will terminate the contract, without
termination charge or other liability, on the last day of the then -current fiscal year or when the appropriation made for
the then -current year for the goods or services covered by this contract is spent, whichever event occurs first. If at any
time funds are not appropriated for the continuance of this contract, cancellation shall be accepted by the Seller on
thirty (30) days prior written notice, but failure to give such notice shall be of no effect and the City shall not be
obligated under this contract beyond the date of termination.
19 Time: It is hereby expressly agreed and understood that time is of the essence for the performance of the contract, and
failure by Seller to meet the time specifications of the contract will cause Seller to be in default of the contract.
20 Silence of Specification: The apparent silence of specifications as to any detail, or the apparent omission from it of a
detailed description concerning any point, shall be regarded as meaning that only the best commercial products and
practices are to prevail and that only material and workmanship of the finest quality are to be used. All interpretations
of the specifications in this bid shall be made on the basis of this statement. The items furnished under this contract
shall be new, unused, of the latest product in production to commercial trade, and shall be of the highest quality as to
materials used and workmanship. Manufacturer furnishing these shall be experienced in design and construction of
such items and shall be an established supplier of the item bid.

environmental performance by controlling and mitigating the environmental impact of City activities, operations, and
