An awarded vendor who sells product under contract to the LACPC (City of Walker) or to a joint/cooperative purchaser, shall be responsible for paying a 2% electronic processing/administrative fee on all net contract receipts ($20 per $1000 of product sold), but not to exceed $3000 per sale.  (The applicable fee for additional sales beyond the initial sale may be negotiated.)

For any questions about cooperative sales, please contact the following: LACPC Contracts Administrator -- LACPC@lamats.net.

No interpretation of the meaning of the specifications or contract documents will be made orally to any Bidder. Every request for such interpretation should be in writing and emailed to Paul Holmes, Contracts Administrator, at LACPC@lamats.net.  To be given consideration, such requests must be received sufficiently prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids to permit distribution of response to all Proposers. 

The contract may be offered as a joint-use (or “piggy-back”) contract under Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 33, Local Services Law by the LACPC Cooperative Purchasing Joint Commission. Final pricing should be firm and should apply to additional sales placed within 6 months of bid closing.  For distributors wishing to keep price availability longer, a price increase (or reduction) formula may apply.

Joint use of the expected contract, if any, will be administered through LaMATS Purchasing Services (“LPS”) on behalf of the LACPC and the purchaser. 

The LACPC reserves the right to seek additional price bids through a reverse auction process where more than one proposal submitted substantially satisfies the specifications.  Please see the Pricing Section of the Proposal Form.
