Page 6

promptly determine whether the substitute is equal in every respect to the item
specified, and approve or deny the request accordingly, and shall notify the
vendor of the determination made, in writing of the decision. Unless the request
is granted, substitution will not be permitted.
Pricing of products
It is beneficial to the bidder to provide pricing on all items so that an
accurate price comparison can be made. In addition to providing the item's list
price and discounted price, a percentage discount for each item should also be
included that would be made available to the City regardless of the list price.
Failure to provide the requested information may be considered non -responsive
and result in disqualification of the proposal. Additionally, as part of the proposal
review, a comparison will be conducted between prices offered on the bidder's
retail site and the proposed bid prices.
Note, that the award of the purchase order is based on a number of
criteria including price, discount, agreement to limit changes in price, and the
bidder's ability to provide the requested products timely. Bidders should base
their quote on the best available pricing to the City of Palm Desert rather
than on a tiered basis or plan, as the purchase order will be awarded based on
the quotes submitted.
Percentage discounts should be honored for the duration of the purchase
order which shall be the fiscal year or a part thereof, depending on the date of
the purchase order.
