In order to protect the State’s interest, ITS reserves the right to attempt to resolve the contractual disagreements that may arise between the Vendor and its subcontractor after award of the contract. References to Vendor to Include Subcontractor All references in the RFP to “Vendor” shall be construed to encompass both the Vendor and its subcontractors. Outstanding Vendor Obligations Any Vendor who presently owes the State of Mississippi money pursuant to any contract for which ITS is the contracting agent and who has received written notification from ITS regarding the monies owed, must submit, with the proposal, a certified check in the amount due and owing in order for the proposal in response to this RFP to be considered. For a Vendor currently in bankruptcy as of the RFP submission date, this requirement is met, if and only if, ITS has an active petition before the appropriate bankruptcy court for recovery of the full dollar amount presently owed to the State of Mississippi by that Vendor. If the Vendor has emerged from bankruptcy by the RFP submission date, the Vendor must pay in full any amount due and owing to the State, as directed in the court-approved reorganization plan, prior to any proposal being considered. Any Vendor who is presently in default on existing contracts for which ITS is the contracting agent, or who otherwise is delinquent in the performance of any such contracted obligations, is in the sole judgment of the State required to make arrangement for fulfilling outstanding obligations to the satisfaction of the State in order for the proposal to be considered. The State, at its sole discretion, may reject the proposal of a Vendor with any significant outstanding financial or other obligations to the State or who is in bankruptcy at the time of proposal submission. Equipment Condition For all RFPs requiring equipment, the Vendor must furnish only new equipment in response to ITS specifications, unless an explicit requirement for used equipment is otherwise specified. Delivery Intervals The Vendor’s proposal must specify, in the Cost Information Submission and in response to any specific instructions in the Technical Specifications, delivery and installation intervals after receipt of order. Pricing Guarantee The Vendor must explicitly state, in the Cost Information Submission and in response to any specific instructions in the Technical Specifications, how long the proposal will remain valid. Unless stated to the contrary in the Technical Specifications, pricing must be guaranteed for a minimum of ninety (90) days.
