BIDDER INFORMATION
- Responses must be submitted through the LACPC Bid Portal managed by LaMATS e-Auction Services (EASiBUY)https://lamats.eauctionservices.com.
- This is a contingency contract, meaning that no municipality has pre-ordered. The purpose of the bid is to have a contract in place so that individual municipalities may avoid having to post and advertise their own bids for curbside garbage containers.
- The bid sponsor is the LACPC, a joint commission created under Louisiana law to assist cooperation between Louisiana municipalities to procure materials and supplies necessary to carry on municipal services.
- There is no obligation on the Lead Agency's or on a Sponsoring Agency's part to place orders, although orders are expected. LACPC will work with chosen vendors to market their curbside garbage containers to LACPC membership.
- The LACPC reserves the right to choose one or more manufactured lines of curbside containers to satisfy legacy lines of containers in current use, provided pricing is competitive and reasonable.
- The Forms attached and labeled "Required) must be used to submit bids.
- The prices offered should be competitive and should reflect the best price offerings available to government. The LACPC reserves the right to schedule a follow-up reverse auction process where initial pricing is determined to be non-competitive.
JOINT USE CONTRACT
Any contract will be offered as a joint-use (or “piggy-back”) contract under Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 33, the Local Services Law. The vendor must accept this term and condition under the Task Bar.
EVALUATION OF BIDS
The LACPC is responsible for and will solely evaluate all bids to determine an award, if any, and reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if it determines the bids submitted are not in the best interests of its membership.
