The county will pay as compensation to contractor for the goods/services described above, upon proper presentation of a detailed monthly invoice attached to a Schuyler County voucher, or upon such other schedule as might be set forth and specified in the attachments hereto.
All proposals shall be evaluated by the Schuyler County Planning Department, the County Attorney, and the County Legislature. Proposals will be accepted and/or rejected at a regular meeting of the Schuyler County Legislature. It is anticipated that the county will act to select a proposer at the next regular meeting of the County Legislature after the date set forth in paragraph 2 above. Schuyler County will give preference to proposers who reuse and recycle collected electronics. The county of Schuyler reserves the right to award this contract on the basis of best value, as determined by the county, rather than low proposal.
Respondents shall respond in writing to each item listed in Part I: Background and Experience, Part II: Technical Proposal, and Part III: Cost Proposal. The county shall hold each respondent totally responsible for the written proposal, regardless of any third party involvement in the preparation of such a response. Respondents must sign the certification: Accuracy of Proposers Representations found at the end of this document.
The successful proposer will be required to complete a site visit prior to the holding of any event in Schuyler County, if deemed necessary, to handle the volume of electronics.
In the event a prospective proposer desires clarification of any details on the specifications, request for such clarification, in order to receive consideration, must be made to the county, in writing, via email to ***@***. *. *, in time to be received by the county at least seven 7 days before the scheduled opening.
Any proposal which is incomplete, conditional, obscure, or contains irregularities of any kind may be rejected. If a proposal contains a significant deficiency for a criterion, it will not be considered acceptable for that criterion. Failure of a responding proposer to demonstrate its ability to meet the requirement of handling, transporting, and recycling unwanted electronics without going through a third-party firm shall be automatic grounds for rejection of the proposal by the county.
