CITY OF LA PORTE GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS 1. RECEIPT AND OPENING OF PROPOSALS The City of La Porte, (hereinafter called the "Owner"), invites proposals on the form attached hereto. Proposals shall be retumed, in duplicate, in the envelope provided, bearing the name and address of offeror. Owner will receive proposals at the Purchasing Office, 2963 N. 23rd Street, La Porte, TX 77571. Proposals will be publicly opened immediately after the closing hour of said date. Vendor name only will be read aloud so as to avoid disclosure of contents. Any proposal received after the time and date specified shall not be considered. Each proposal must be submitted, in duplicate, on the prescribed form. All blank spaces for proposal prices must be filled in, in ink or typewritten figures, and must be fully completed and executed when submitted. The Owner may not consider any proposal not prepared and submitted in accordance with the provisions hereof and may waive any informalities or reject any and all proposals. Any proposal may be withdrawn prior to the scheduled time for the opening of proposals or authorized postponement thereof. 2. PROPOSAL MODIFICATIONS Any offeror may modify his proposal by written communication at any time prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of proposals, provided such communication is received by the Owner prior to closing time. The communication should not reveal the proposal price, but should provide the addition or subtraction or other modification so that the Owner will not know the final prices or terms until the sealed proposal is opened. 3. QUALIFICATIONS OF OFFEROR At the time of the opening of proposals, each offeror will be presumed to be thoroughly familiar with the plans and contract documents (including all addenda). The failure or omission of any offeror to examine any form, instrument, or document shall in no way relieve any offeror from any obligation in respect of his proposal. The Owner may make such investigations as he deems necessary to determine the ability of the offeror to perform the work, and the offeror shall fumish to the Owner all such information and data for this purpose as the Owner may request. The Owner reserves the right to reject any proposal if the evidence submitted by, or investigation of, such offeror fails to satisfy the Owner that such offeror is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract and to complete the work contemplated therein. Conditional proposals will not be accepted. 4
