Purchasing Department RFPs & Bids Bidding It is the Township's desire to maintain a competitive bid process for all purchases and to make awards for bids based on the lowest responsible and responsive bid received. "Lowest responsible bidder" means the lowest bidder whose offer best responds in quality, fitness and capacity to the requirement of the proposed supply or service. Such factors as delivery time, quality, compatibility, references, experiences, parts and services, freight cost, etc., may play an important role in awarding a bid the "lowest responsible bidder." A "responsive" bid is one that is in substantial conformance with the requirements of the specifications, the invitation to bid and the Township's contractual terms and conditions. This would also include such things as completeness of the quotation, forms, inclusion of references and attachments and completion of required responses. RFP and Biding Process Request for proposal (RFP) and request for bid (RFB) are on an as needed basis. They are advertised in the Retrospect, which is the official newspaper of the Township. Some bids may require a fee for various plans and specifications. |
