BIDDER
COMPLIES
YES NO
Each bid shall be accompanied by a "Contractor's Proposal" consisting of a detailed description of the
apparatus and equipment proposed and to which the apparatus furnished under contract shall
conform.
Bidder's proposal shall be in the same order as specifications so that it may be easily compared and ✓
checked for compliance. All bid proposals not complying with this requirement may be rejected.
The total price on the bidder's proposal sheet must include all items in the specifications. Listing any
requirement contained in the specifications, as an option at additional cost shall automatically be
cause for bid rejection.
MANUFACTURER'S RELIABILITY
The manufacturer must be satisfactory to the purchaser from the standpoint of experience, reliability,
reputation, competence, and demonstrated ability to manufacture equipment, comparable as to size
and type, as specified, for the past fifteen (15) years. A list of fire departments, with contact names
and telephone numbers, who have purchased the same type of apparatus from the bidder over the
past five years, must be supplied along with the bid for physical evaluation.
BRAND NAMES
Whenever a brand or manufacturers name is utilized in these specifications, it is included for
descriptive purposes and to establish a level of quality. Products that are equivalent to those named
may be proposed, providing that full supporting documentation be furnished establishing such
equivalency. Simply providing manufacturers literature will not be considered justification for the
substitution.
All substitutions must be listed as exceptions for evaluation. The purchaser shall be the sole judge if a ✓

proposal in bid sequence, citing page, and paragraph number of the specification. Bidder must explain
in detail and with full supporting data, how the proposed deviation meets or exceeds the
specifications. Failure to comply with this requirement will automatically disqualify the bid
The purchaser reserves the right to determine which (if any) deviations are acceptable. A complete set
of bidder's specifications for the proposed apparatus must be submitted with the bid, in bid order.
"Yes" answers on the bid evaluation sheets do not relieve the bidder of the requirement to submit an
accurate proposal. Discrepancies found in the bidders' specifications will be considered non-
compliant.
The purchaser's specifications shall, in all cases, govern the construction of the apparatus, unless a
properly documented exception or deviation was approved. This is not a RFP (Request for Proposal).
Any bid indicating that the bidder's proposal shall supersede the Purchaser's specifications shall be
viewed as taking total exception to the specification and will be cause for immediate rejection.
