STATE OF IDAHO STANDARD CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND
SOLICITATION INSTRUCTIONS TO VENDORS: The State of Idaho Standard Contract
Terms and Conditions and Solicitation Instructions to Vendors are hereby incorporated
by reference into this solicitation as if set forth herein in their entirety, and are located
on the Internet at http://adm.idaho.gov/purchasing/purchasingrules.html.. If you do not
have internet access, you may contact the Div. of Purchasing at 208-327-7465 to obtain
a copy. The Standard Contract Terms and Conditions and Solicitation Instructions to
Vendors shall apply to this solicitation and the State of Idaho Standard Contract Terms
and Conditions shall apply to any contract resulting from this solicitation. Failure by
any submitting vendor to obtain a copy of such shall in no way constitute or be
deemed a waiver by the State of either document, or any part of them. No liability will
be assumed by the Division of Purchasing for a submitting vendor's failure to consider
the State of Idaho Standard Contract Terms and Conditions in its response to the
solicitation.

2:

RFP DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS: Offerors must download attachments (open, save,
or print document(s) on their own computer system), enter pricing where indicated,
complete any other required information, sign the Request for Proposal (RFP)
signature page, and return the completed solicitation response package to the Idaho
Division of Purchasing on or before the proposal closing date and time.

3:

NEGOTIATIONS: The State may, following receipt and evaluation of bids or proposals
and any allowed Best and Final Offer procedures, negotiate with the apparent low
responsive and responsible bidder. Prior to authorizing negotiations the Administrator,
Division of Purchasing, shall determine in writing that negotiations may be in the best
interest of the State. In addition to any other negotiation criteria described in the
specifications, the State may, for example, negotiate to ensure the submitting vendor
has a clear understanding of the scope of work required and requirements that must be
met, ensure that the vendor will make available the required personnel and facilities to
satisfactorily perform the contract, or agree to any clarifications regarding scope of
work or other contract terms. During negotiation, adequate procedures will be used to
ensure that disclosure of any information, including price, from competing proposals
is not revealed. If negotiations are unsuccessful, they shall be formally terminated and
the State may undertake negotiations with the next ranked submitting vendor.

4:

BEST AND FINAL OFFERS: The State may, at its sole option, either accept an offerors
initial proposal by award of a contract or enter into discussions with offerors whose
proposals are deemed to be reasonably susceptible of being considered for award.
Offerors should submit their best proposals initially as there is no guarantee the State
will conduct discussions. During the initial evaluation process, offerors proposals
deemed incapable of meeting the scope & needs of the RFP in a satisfactory manner
may be removed from further consideration during any best & final offer phase.
During the evaluation phase & any discussions conducted, adequate procedures will
be used to ensure that the contents of the offerors proposals are kept under strict
security & disclosure of any information from competing proposals is prohibited.
If discussions are deemed necessary, they may be used to determine in greater detail
the offerors qualifications, explore with the offeror the scope & nature of the project,
determine that the offeror will make available the necessary personnel & facilities to
perform within the required time, or discuss compensation which is fair & reasonable.
The primary purpose of any such discussions will be to assure that the offeror has full
understanding of the solicitation requirements.
The State will schedule a time for the discussions & provide a date & time for receipt of
best & final offers. If during discussions there is a need for clarification or change of
the RFP it shall be amended to incorporate such clarification or change.
Offerors will be accorded fair & equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for
discussions & revisions of proposals. If the offeror does not submit a notice of
withdrawal or a best & final offer, once a date & time has been established for receipt
of best and final offers, the offerors initial or immediate previous offer will be

construed as its best & final offer.
5:

Shipping: Prices must be stated as FOB-Destination, unless otherwise indicated in the
solicitation.
