The City <br />Manager may also reject all bids received. Award shall be made in accordance with Section 1.31 <br />of this ITB, and each submittal shall include the following: <br /> <br />a. Contact information to expedite communications between the City and Vendor (telephone, <br />email address, and fax). Must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. <br /> <br />b. Listing of the vehicle communication system in place (e.g., mobile phones or two-way radio <br />equipment), that allows regular communication with all vehicles providing transportation <br />services. <br /> <br />c. Listing of the Vendor’s fleet (include Vehicle #, Make, Model, Year, Capacity, Own/Lease). <br /> <br />d. Provide an hourly rate for motor coach transportation services. For estimating purposes, see <br />Attachment A for the City’s sample use of motor coach services from a previous year <br />(number of trips, motor coaches, hours, passenger count, and destination descriptions). The <br />City is exempt from all taxes (Federal, State, and Local). Bid price should not include taxes. <br />Tax Exemption Certificate may be furnished upon request. <br /> <br />2.6 MULTIPLE AWARDS <br /> <br />The City may award multiple Bidders (primary, secondary and tertiary) as available, by line item, <br />by group, or in its entirety. The City will endeavor to utilize Bidders in order of award. The lowest <br />responsive and responsible bidder for each group shall be considered the primary awardee and <br />should receive the largest volume of work, upon meeting the required qualifications and <br />acceptance to the City’s terms. However, the City may utilize other Bidders in the event that: 1) <br />a contract Bidder is not or is unable to be in compliance with any contract or delivery <br />requirement; 2) it is in the best interest of the City to do so regardless of reason. In the event <br />that one of the successful bidders (primary, secondary or tertiary) are deemed to be performing <br />unsatisfactorily as determined by the City, the City may opt to award their designated bid group <br />to the Bidder performing to City’s approval. <br /> <br />2.7 PRICE <br /> <br />If the vendor is awarded a contract under this solicitation, the prices proposed by the vendor shall <br />remain fixed and firm during the term of contract, except as detailed in Section 2.4 OPTIONS TO <br />RENEW. <br /> <br />2.8 BIDDER’S MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS <br /> <br />Bids will be considered from firms that have successfully, with supporting references, <br />completed a minimum of three (3) projects of similar scope over the past three (3) years, in the <br />state of Florida.
