    incurred by any Proposer in the submission of a response, or in making necessary studies or
    designs for the preparation thereof, or for procuring or contracting for the items to be furnished
    under the RFP.

    CONTRACT AWARD AND EXECUTION:
    a. The District reserves the right to make an award without further discussion of the proposal
    submitted. Therefore, the proposal should be initially submitted on the most favorable terms
    the Vendors can offer. It is understood that the proposal will become a part of the official file
    on this matter without obligation to the District.
    b. The general conditions and specifications of the RFP and as proposed by the District and the
    successful Vendor's response, as amended by agreements between the District and the
    Vendor, will become part of the contract documents. Additionally, the District will verify
    Vendor representations that appear in the proposal. Failure of the Vendor's products to meet
    the mandatory specifications may result in elimination of the Vendor from competition or in
    contract cancellation or termination.
    c. Once District staff has selected the Vendor that can best meet the District’s needs, based on
    the evaluation factors, the District will negotiate the specific District system requirements
    with the selected Vendor, using the Vendor’s proposal to determine the cost of the system
    components and options as determined in the sole discretion of the District. After that
    negotiation period has ended and District has, in its sole discretion, finalized the system
    requirements, the Vendor selected as the apparent successful Vendor will be expected to
    enter into a contract with the District substantially in the form and content attached, but
    with the addition of specific information pertaining to the agreed‐upon system to be
    provided for the District. The successful Proposer is expected to execute this contract
    verbatim unless it has proposed specific changes to the contract in its response to this RFP
    and has later obtained agreement from the District for the contract change. All such
    proposed changes should be accompanied by an estimate of the cost savings to the District
    that would result from the recommended change.
    d. If the selected Vendor fails to sign the contract within five (5) business days of delivery of the
    final contract, the District may elect to cancel the award and award the contract to the next‐
    highest‐ranked Vendor. No cost chargeable to the proposed contract may be incurred before
    receipt of a fully executed contract.

    DEFENSE, INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS: In addition
    to other standard contractual terms, the District will require the selected Vendor to comply with the defense, indemnification, hold harmless and insurance requirements as outlined below: Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold the District, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers harmless for, from and against any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or suits including attorney fees, arising out of or resulting from the acts, errors or omissions of the Vendor and its agents in performance of this Agreement, except for injuries and damages caused by the sole negligence of the District.

The cost of such insurance shall be paid by the Vendor. Vendor’s purchase of insurance under the awarded contract shall not be construed in such a way as to waive or terminate the statutory or common law immunities enjoyed by District. District shall retain all immunities, including those immunities contained within Missouri Revised Statute § 537.600 et.seq. Any insurance purchased by Vendor is not intended to act as a waiver of any defense available to the District and its employees by statute or common law.

    the amount of $1,000,000 single limit liability for each occurrence, and aggregate
    coverage of not less than $2,000,000.
    II. The insurance shall cover any occurrences, resulting from any conduct, act, or failure
    to act, by VENDOR, or by an employee, representative, or agent of VENDOR, and
    which occurrence or occurrences result in damages of any kind, including, but not
    limited to, personal injury or death to any person or persons, damage to any property
    (personal or real), or damage to any contractual or other commercial right or interest.
    III. Certificate of Insurance: VENDOR shall require its insurance carrier to provide to the
    DISTRICT a certificate of insurance evidencing said coverage. Said policy shall
    provide that such coverage cannot be modified, terminated or canceled by the carrier
    without six (6) months written notice sent by certified mail by the insurance carrier to
    the DISTRICT. It is agreed that no person shall perform any acts on behalf of VENDOR
    without having said insurance in full force and effect.

    NON-COLLUSION AFFIDAVIT: The Vendor submitting a proposal thereby certifies that no officer,
    agent, or employee of the District who has a pecuniary interest in this RFP, has participated in the Price Agreement negotiations on the part of the District, that the proposal is made in good faith without fraud, collusion, or connection of any kind with any other Vendor of the same request for proposal and that the Vendor is competing solely in its own behalf without connection with, or obligation to, any undisclosed person or firm. Vendor will complete the enclosed Non-Collusion Affidavit and submit it with their proposal.

    EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COMPLIANCE: The District is an equal opportunity employer and requires
    all Proposers to comply with policies and regulations concerning equal opportunity. All Proposers must be certified as Equal Employment Opportunity Affirmative Action Employers. The Proposer, in the performance of this agreement, agrees not to discriminate in its employment because of an employee’s or applicant’s race, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual preference, age, or disability.

    OTHER COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS: In addition to any nondiscrimination and affirmative
    action compliance requirements previously listed, the Proposer awarded a contract shall comply

    health; environmental protection; waste reduction and recycling; the protection of natural
    resources; permits; fees; taxes; and similar subjects.

    OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS: Any reports, studies, conclusions, and summaries prepared by the
    Proposer, including all proposal documents, shall become the property of the District.

    ORAL INSTRUCTIONS: Oral instructions or information concerning the RFP documents or the
    project given out by officers, employees, or agents of the District to prospective Proposers shall not bind the District.
