1.10.1 It is not the intent of these specifications to rule out or eliminate any prospective proposer. If the goods and services you intend to propose do not comply with the specifications as written, you are instructed to attach to your proposal response a complete itemization and explanation for each deviation or variation to the specifications. The University may, at its discretion, consider or deny any deviation and purchase the goods and services which best suit its intended use. The proposer shall not purposely propose goods or services of a lesser quality, which require deviation from the specifications, if the proposer can furnish the goods and services which will comply with the minimum specifications. 1.11 RFP Status and Submission Information: 1.11.1 RFP Acceptance/Rejection: The University reserves the right to cancel this RFP, to reject any or all proposals received, or any part thereof without penalty, to waive informalities or irregularities and to award a contract not based solely on the lowest cost, but based on an offer which, in the sole opinion of the University, best fulfills or exceeds the requirements of this RFP and is deemed in the best interest of the University. Non-acceptance of a proposal shall mean that another proposal was deemed more advantageous to the University or that all proposals were rejected. Firms whose proposals are not accepted shall be notified after a binding contractual agreement between the University and the selected proposer exists or after the University has rejected all proposals. 1.11.2 RFP Submittals: Any exceptions and/or alternates must be stated in the response to the RFP. Failure to provide required data to allow for evaluation of the RFP or failure to complete the accompanying documents may be grounds for rejecting the RFP. Further, the University expressly reserves the right to negotiate prior to an award, any contract which may result from this RFP. Further, this RFP creates no obligation on the part of the University to award a contract. The company's proposal will represent its best and final offer. 1.11.3 Effective Period of Proposals: The proposals submitted must remain in effect for a minimum period of one hundred and twenty (120) days after the closing date to allow time for evaluation, approval and award of the contract. 1.11.4 Minor Defects: If, during the evaluation process, the University determines that a particular mandatory requirement may be modified or waived and still allow the University to obtain goods/services that substantially meet the intent of this RFP, the mandatory requirement will be modified or waived for all bidders, and all proposals will be re-evaluated in light of the change. 1.11.5 Withdrawal of Proposals: A proposal shall not be modified, withdrawn or canceled by the bidder for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days following the date and time assigned for the receipt of proposals. Prior to the time and date assigned for receipt, proposals submitted early shall be modified or withdrawn only by written notice to the University. The Coordinator, as identified in paragraph 1.8, shall receive such written notice. Modified proposals may be submitted up to the time designated for receipt of the 10
proposals as noted in paragraph 1.9.1 provided they are then fully in conformance with these terms and conditions. 1.11.6 Sales Tax Exemption: The University of Connecticut is exempt from Federal Excise taxes and no payment will be made for any taxes levied on the contractor's employees' wages. The University is exempt from State and Local Sales and Use Taxes on the services and/or goods supplied pursuant to this Agreement. 1.12 Addenda to the RFP: If it becomes necessary to revise any part of this RFP, notice of the revision will be given in the form of an addendum to all prospective proposers who are on record with the Purchasing Department as having received this RFP. All addenda shall become a part of this RFP. Receipt of addenda must be acknowledged by each proposer, and the failure of a proposer to acknowledge any addendum shall not relieve the proposer of the responsibility for complying with the terms thereof. All addenda must be signed by an authorized Respondent representative and returned with the proposal on or before the proposal opening date. Failure to sign and return any and all addendum acknowledgements shall be grounds for rejection of the proposal response. 1.13 Pre-Award Presentations and Negotiations: 1.13.1 Pre-Award Presentations: As a part of the evaluation process, the University may require, but is not obligated to, presentations from one or more of the highest ranked vendors. If a proposer is requested to make a presentation, the proposer will make the necessary arrangements and bear all costs associated with the presentation. 1.13.2 Award Negotiations: Selection may be made without further discussion or negotiation; therefore, proposals should be submitted on the most favorable terms which can be submitted in response to this Request for Proposal. Proposals must demonstrate an understanding of the scope of work and the ability to accomplish the tasks set forth and must include information that will enable the University to determine the vendor's over all qualifications. The University reserves the right to request additional information or clarification on any matter included in the proposal. Prior to the award, the University may elect to conduct negotiations with one or more of the highest ranked vendors for purposes which include: 1.13.2.1 Resolving minor differences and informalities 1.13.2.2 Clarifying necessary details and responsibilities 1.13.2.3 Emphasizing important issues and points 1.13.2.4 Receiving assurances from vendors 1.13.2.5 Exploring ways to improve the final contract 1.14 Formation of Agreement: 1.14.1 At its option, the University may take either one of the following actions in order to form an agreement between the University and the selected respondent: 1.14.1.1 Accept a proposal as written by issuing a written "Notice of Award" to the selected respondent which refers to this RFP and accepts the proposal as submitted; or 1.14.1.2 Enter into negotiations with one or more respondents in an effort to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement which will be executed by both parties and 11
