The pricing evaluation is used as part of the evaluation <br />process. The City reserves the right to negotiate the final terms, conditions and pricing of the contract as <br />may be in the best interest of the City. Price is only one factor and the contract will be awarded in conformity <br />with the criteria set forth in Section 62-8 of the City Code. <br /> <br />4.4 Negotiations <br /> <br />The City may award a contract on the basis of initial offers received, without discussions. Therefore, each <br />initial offer should contain the Proposer’s best terms from a monetary and technical standpoint. <br /> <br />Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the City and said Proposer(s) cannot reach agreement on a contract, the <br />City reserves the right to terminate negotiations and may, at the City Manager’s or designee’s discretion, <br />begin negotiations with the next lowest responsible and responsive Proposer. This process may continue until <br />a contact acceptable to the City has been executed or all proposals are rejected. No Proposer shall have any <br />rights against the City arising from such negotiations or termination thereof. <br /> <br />Any Proposer recommended for negotiations may be required to provide to the City: <br /> <br />a) Its most recent certified business financial statements as of a date not earlier than the end of the <br />Proposer’s preceding official tax accounting period, together with a statement in writing, signed by a duly <br />authorized representative, stating that the present financial condition is materially the same as that <br />shown on the balance sheet and income statement submitted, or with an explanation for material change <br />in the financial condition. A copy of the most recent business income tax return will be accepted if certified <br />financial statements are unavailable. <br />b) Information concerning any prior or pending litigation, either civil or criminal, involving a governmental <br />agency or which may affect the performance of services to be rendered herein, in which the Proposer, <br />any of its employees or subcontractors is or has been involved within the last three years. <br /> <br /> <br />END OF SECTON <br /> <br />
