Late proposals cannot be accepted. CHA's Concord Dental location is in need of an HVAC system replacement. There are no design components involved, as this is a direct equipment replacement project. Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this RFP and any addenda issued hereto. The RFP is comprised of the main body of this RFP document, plus the attachments, and any addenda released before the contract award. All attachments and addenda released for this RFP in advance of any contract award are incorporated herein by reference. All terms in this RFP shall be enforceable as contract terms. The use of phrases such as "shall," "must," and "requirements" are intended to create enforceable contract conditions. Each Vendor shall provide (a) its proposed contract by which CHA will retain Vendor's services, and (b) any other applicable contract that Vendor will ask CHA to sign. CHA's terms and conditions set forth in Attachment B should either be built into or be incorporated by reference in the contract(s) that Vendor proposes in its terms and conditions proposal. CHA will entertain exceptions taken by Vendors to certain of these provisions, but Vendors are cautioned that CHA has a limited ability and willingness to agree to modifications to these standard CHA provisions. CHA will compare and contrast the terms and conditions proposals submitted by qualified Vendors at the same time it evaluates the cost proposals of qualified Vendors. At the conclusion of this evaluation, CHA may elect to award the contract to the Vendor(s) whose aggregate proposal to CHA determines to be most advantageous to CHA. CHA may enter into contract negotiations with one or more qualified Vendors in an effort to reach mutually agreeable contract terms and conditions if CHA is not satisfied with the terms and conditions proposed by the applicable Vendor(s). CHA is not obligated to negotiate with all qualified Vendors. CHA reserves the right to eliminate from further consideration any Vendor that submits a cost proposal or proposes terms and conditions that are not advantageous to CHA. CHA- Concord Dental is located at 280 Concord Pkwy, Suite 110A-B, Concord, NC 28027. Enter the main lobby of the building and wait it the reception area for the Facilities Managers to receive you. Call (704) 920-1307 upon arrival if there are any questions or concerns. All qualified proposals will be evaluated, and awards will be made to the Vendor(s) meeting the RFP requirements and achieving the highest and best final evaluation, based on the evaluation criteria described below. While the intent of this RFP is to award a contract to a single Vendor, CHA reserves the right to make separate awards to different Vendors for one-or-more line items, to not award one-or-more line items or to cancel this RFP in its entirety without awarding a contract, if it is considered to be most advantageous to CHA to do so. CHA shall review all Vendor responses to this RFP to confirm that they meet the specifications and requirements of the RFP. CHA reserves the right to waive any minor informality or technicality in proposals received. Question Deadline 08/29/2022 at 3:00 PM ET Written questions shall be e-mailed to Sue.Yates@CabarrusHealth.org by the Vendors should enter RFP # 705-2023-0003: Questions as the subject for the email. Questions should include a reference to the applicable RFP section and be submitted. Proposals will be received from each responsive Vendor in a sealed envelope or package. All proposals must be received by CHA no later than the date and time specified on the cover sheet of this RFP. At that date and time, the package containing the proposals from each responding firm will be opened publicly and the name of the Vendor and total cost offered will be announced. Interested parties are cautioned that these costs and their components are subject to further evaluation for completeness and correctness and therefore may not be an exact indicator of a Vendor's pricing position. At their sole option, the evaluators may request oral presentations or discussion with any or all Vendors for the purpose of clarification or to amplify the materials presented in any part of the proposal. Vendors are cautioned, however, that the evaluators are not required to request presentations or other clarification--and often do not; therefore, all proposals must be complete and reflect the most favorable terms available from the Vendor. Vendors are cautioned that this is a request for proposals, not a request to contract, and CHA reserves the unqualified right to reject any and all offers at any time if such rejection is deemed to be in the best interest of CHA. CHA reserves the right to reject all original offers and request one or more of the Vendors submitting proposals to submit best and final offers (BAFOs), prepared in collaboration with CHA after the initial responses to the RFP have been evaluated.
