GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Vendor: The general
rules and conditions which follow apply to purchases and become a definite
part of each formal solicitation and resulting contract award issued
by the Purchasing Department, unless otherwise specified. Bidders
or their authorized representatives are expected to inform themselves
fully as to the conditions, requirements, and specifications before
submitting bids; failure to do so will be at the bidder’s own risk
and relief cannot be secured on the plea of error.)
Subject to all State
and local laws, policies, resolutions, and regulations and all accepted
rules, regulations and limitations imposed by legislation of the Federal
Government, bids on all solicitations issued by the Purchasing Department
will bind bidders to applicable conditions and requirements herein set
forth unless otherwise specified in the solicitation.
1.1ANTI-DISCRIMINATION:
By submitting their bid, the Bidder certifies to the School Board that
they will conform to the provisions of the Federal Civil Rights Act

Act of 1975, as amended, where applicable, the Virginians With Disabilities
Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act and 2.2-4311 of the Virginia
Public Procurement Act (VPPA).
If the award is made to a faith-based organization, the organization
shall not discriminate against any recipient of goods, services, or
disbursements made pursuant to the contract on the basis of the recipients
religion, religious belief, refusal to participate in a religious practice,
or on the basis of race, age, color, gender, or national origin and
shall be subject to the same rules as other organizations that contract
with public bodies to account for the use of the funds provided; however,
if the faith-based organization segregates public funds into separate
accounts, only the accounts and programs funded with public funds shall
be subject to audit by the public body (Code of Virginia,
2.2-4343.1E).
In every contract
over $10,000 the provisions in 1.1.1 through 1.1.4 below apply:

The contractor will not discriminate
against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion,

there is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary
to the normal operation of the contractor. The contractor agrees
to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants
for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination
clause.
The Contractor, in all solicitations
or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor,
will state that such Contractor is an equal opportunity employer.
Notices, advertisements and
solicitations placed in accordance with federal law, rule or regulation
shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of meeting these requirements;
The Contractor will include

over $10,000, so that the provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor
or vendor.

1.21NONDISCRIMINATION
OF CONTRACTORS: A bidder, offeror, or contractor shall not
be discriminated against in the solicitation or award of this contract
because of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, disability,
faith-based organizational status, or any other basis prohibited by
state law relating to discrimination in employment or because the bidder

or institution has made a written determination that employing ex-offenders
on the specific contract is not in its best interest. If the award
of this contract is made to a faith-based organization and an individual,
who applies for or receives goods, services, or disbursements provided
pursuant to this contract objects to the religious character of the
faith-based organization from which the individual receives or would
receive the goods, services or disbursements, the public body shall
offer the individual, within a reasonable period of time after the date
of his objection, access to equivalent goods, services or disbursements
from an alternate provider.
1.22OFFICIAL
NOT TO BENEFIT:
1.22.1Each
Bidder shall certify upon signing a bid that to the best of his/her
knowledge no ACSB official or employee having official responsibility
for the procurement transaction or member of his/her immediate family
has received or will receive any financial benefit of more than nominal
or minimal value relating to the award of this contract. If such
a benefit has been received or will be received, this fact shall be
disclosed with the bid or as soon thereafter, as it appears that such
a benefit will be received. Failure to disclose the information
prescribed above may result in suspension or debarment or recession
of the contract made or could affect payment pursuant to the terms of
the contract.
1.22.2Whenever
there is a reason to believe that benefit of the sort described in the
paragraph above has been or will be received in connection with the
bid or contract and that the Contractor has failed to disclose such
benefit or has inadequately disclosed it, ACSB, as a prerequisite to
payment pursuant to the Contractor, or at any time may require the contractor
to furnish, under oath, answers to any interrogatories related to such
possible benefit.
1.22.3In
the event the Bidder has knowledge of benefits as outlined above, this
information should be submitted with the bid. If the above does
not apply at time of award of contract and becomes known after the inception
of a contract the Bidder shall address the disclosure of such facts
to: Supervisor of Purchasing, Augusta County School Board, 6 John Lewis
Road, Fishersville, VA 22939. The Invitation for Bids Number shall
be referenced in the disclosure.
1.23PAYMENT

offers of discounts for payment in less than 30 days.
1.24PAYMENT
TO SUBCONTRACTORS: A contractor awarded a contract under this
solicitation is hereby obligated to:
1.24.1Pay
the subcontractor(s) within seven days of the contractor’s receipt
of payment from the School Board for the proportionate share of the

the agency and the subcontractor(s), in writing, of the Contractor’s
intention to withhold payment and the reason for such.
1.24.3The
contractor is obligated to pay the subcontractor(s) interest at the

of the contract) on all amounts owed by the contractor that remain unpaid
seven days following receipt of payment from the School Board, except
for amounts withheld as stated in (2) above. The date of mailing
any payment by U.S. Mail is deemed to be payment to the addressee.
These provisions apply to each sub-tier contractor performing under
the primary contract. A contractor’s obligation to pay an interest
charge to a subcontractor may not be construed to be an obligation of
the School Board or any participating jurisdiction.
1.25PRECEDENCE
OF TERMS: All of these General Terms and Conditions shall
apply in all instances. In the event there is a conflict between
any of the General Terms and Conditions and Special Terms and Conditions
in this solicitation, the Special Terms and Conditions shall apply.

the protest and the relief sought. The Bid Protest Officer shall
issue a decision in writing within ten (10) days of the receipt of the
protest stating the reasons for the action taken.
1.26.1If
prior to award it is determined that the decision to award is arbitrary
and capricious then the sole relief shall be a finding to that effect.
The Supervisor of Purchasing shall cancel the proposed award or revise
it to comply with the law. If, after an award, it is determined
that an award of a contract was arbitrary and capricious, then the sole
relief shall be as hereinafter provided. Where the award has been
made but performance has not begun, the performance of the contract
may be declared void by ACSB. Where the award has been made and
performance begun, the Supervisor of Purchasing may declare the contract
void upon finding that this action is in the best interest of ACSB.
Where a contract is declared void, the performing Contractor shall be
compensated for the cost of performance at the rate specified in the
contract up to the time of such declaration. In no event shall
the performing Contractor be entitled to lost profits.
1.26.2Pending
final determination of a protest or appeal, the validity of a contract
awarded and accepted in good faith in accordance with this paragraph
shall not be affected by the fact that a protest or appeal has been
filed.
1.26.3An
award need not be delayed for the period allowed a Bidder to protest,
but in the event of a timely protest, no further action to award the
contract will be taken unless there is a written determination that
proceeding without delay is necessary to protect the public interest
or unless the offer would expire.
1.27QUALIFICATIONS
OF BIDDERS: The School Board may make reasonable investigations
as deemed proper and necessary to determine the ability of the bidder
to perform the services/furnish the goods and the bidder shall furnish
to the School Board all such information and data for this purpose as
may be requested. The School Board reserves the right to inspect
bidder’s physical facilities prior to award to satisfy questions regarding
the bidder’s capabilities. The School Board further reserves
the right to reject any bid if the evidence submitted by, or investigations
of, such bidder fails to satisfy the School Board that such bidder is
properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract and
to provide the services and/or furnish the goods contemplated therein.
1.28SMALL

to undertake every effort to increase opportunity for utilization of
small and minority businesses in all aspects of procurement to the maximum
extent feasible. In connection with the performance of this contract,
the Contractor agrees to use their best effort to carry out this policy
and ensure that Small and Minority Businesses shall have the maximum
practicable opportunity to compete for subcontract work under this contract
consistent with the efficient performance of this contract.
Contractors may
rely on oral or written representation by subcontractors regarding their
status as small and/or minority business enterprises in lieu of an independent
investigation.
Where Federal
grants or monies are involved, it is the policy of the School Board
through its agents and employees to comply with the requirements set
forth in the Standards governing State and Local Grantee Procurement

Administrative Requirements for Grants-in-Aid to State and Local Governments,
as they pertain to small and minority business utilization.

TERMINATION FOR CAUSE/DEFAULT: In case of failure to deliver
goods or provide services in accordance with the contract terms and
conditions, ACSB, after due oral or written notice, may procure them
from other sources and hold the Contractor responsible for any resulting
additional purchase and administrative costs. This remedy shall
be in addition to any other remedies which ACSB may have. Specifically,
1.30.1If,
through any cause, the Contractor shall fail to fulfill in a timely
and proper manner their obligations under this contract, or if the Contractor
shall violate any of the covenants, agreements, or stipulations of this
contract, ACSB shall thereupon have the right to terminate, specifying
the effective date thereof, at least five (5) days before the effective
date of such termination. In such event, all finished or unfinished
documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, and reports
prepared by the Contractor under the contract shall at the option of
ACSB, become its property and the Contractor shall be entitled to receive
just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work completed
on such documents.
1.30.2Notwithstanding
the above, the Contractor shall not be relieved of liability to ACSB
for damages sustained by ACSB by virtue of any breach of contract by
the Contractor. ACSB may withhold any payments to the contractor
for the purpose of set off until such time as the exact amount of damages
due to the ACSB from the Contractor is determined.
1.31
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE: ACSB reserves the right to cancel
and terminate any resulting contract, in part or in whole, without penalty,
whenever the Supervisor of Purchasing determines that such a termination
is in the best interest of ACSB. Any such termination shall be
effected by delivery to the Contractor, at least ten (10) working days
prior to the termination date, a Notice of Termination specifying the
extent to which performance shall be terminated and date upon which
such termination becomes effective. After receipt of a notice
of termination, the Contractor must stop all work or deliveries under
the purchase order/contract on the date and to the extent specified;
however, any contract termination notice shall not relieve the Contractor
of the obligation to deliver and/or perform on all outstanding orders
issued prior to the effective date of termination. An equitable
adjustment in the contract price shall be made for completed service,
but no amount shall be allowed for anticipated profit on unperformed
services.
1.32
TESTING AND INSPECTION: ACSB reserves the right to conduct
any test or inspection it may deem advisable to ensure services conform
to the specification.
1.33
USE OF BRAND NAMES: Unless otherwise provided in this solicitation,
the name of a certain brand, make or manufacturer does not restrict
bidders to the specific brand, make or manufacturer named, but conveys
the general style, type, character, and quality of the article desired.
Any article which the ACSB, in its sole discretion, determines to be
equal of that specified, considering quality, workmanship, economy of
operation, and suitability for the purpose intended, shall be accepted.
The bidder is responsible to clearly and specifically identify the product
being offered and to provide sufficient descriptive literature, catalog
cuts and technical detail to enable ACSB to determine if the product
offered meets the requirements of the solicitation. ONLY THE
INFORMATION FURNISHED WITH THE BID WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE EVALUATION.
FAILURE TO FURNISH ADEQUATE DATA FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES MAY RESULT
IN DECLARING A BID NON-RESPONSIVE. Unless the bidder clearly
indicates in its bid that the product offered is an “equal” product,
such bid will be considered to offer the brand name product referenced
in the solicitation.
1.34

be open to public inspection only after award of the contract.

shall be subject to reasonable restrictions to ensure the security and
integrity of the records.

in writing prior to or upon submission of the data or other materials,
and must identify the data or other materials to be protected, and state
