Each proposal must be submitted with four (4) paper copies and one (1) electronic copy on CD or DVD media disk, or USB memory drive.

The Christina School District will receive proposals until the date and time shown in this RFQ. Proposals will be opened only in the presence of the Christina School District personnel.

The contents of any proposal shall not be disclosed to competing vendors prior to contract award. The Christina School District reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals or any part of any proposal, to waive defects, technicalities or any specifications (whether they be in the Christina School District's specifications or vendor's response), to sit and act as sole judge of the merit and qualifications of each product offered, or to solicit new proposals on the same project or on a modified project which may include portions of the originally proposed project as the Christina School District may deem necessary in the best interest of the Christina School District. The final award of a contract is subject to approval by the Christina School District. The Christina School District has the sole right to select the successful vendor(s) for award, to reject any proposal as unsatisfactory or non-responsive, to award a contract to other than the lowest priced proposal, to award multiple contracts, or not to award a contract, as a result of this RFQ. Notice in writing to a vendor of the acceptance of its proposal by the Christina School District and the subsequent full execution of a written contract will constitute a contract, and no vendor will acquire any legal or equitable rights or privileges until the occurrence of both such events. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
