determine costs of savings. Any claim for an adjustment in price under this
provision must be asserted by written notice to SCPS within thirty (30) days from

amount of adjustment, the question of an increase or decrease in the contract price

contract on the basis of the recipient’s religion, religious belief, refusal to participate in a religious
practice, or on the basis of race, age, color, gender or national origin and shall be subject to the
same rules as other organizations that contract with public bodies to account for the use of the

discriminated against in the solicitation or award of this contract because of race, religion, color,
sex, national origin, age, disability, faith-based organizational status, any other basis prohibited by
state law relating to discrimination in employment or because the bidder or offeror employs exoffenders unless the County has made a written determination that employing ex-offenders on the

organization and an individual, who applies for or receives goods, services, or disbursements
provided pursuant to this contract objects to the religious character of the faith-based organization
from which the individual receives or would receive the goods, services, or disbursements, the
public body shall offer the individual, within a reasonable period of time after the date of his
objection, access to equivalent goods, services, or disbursements from an alternative provider.
NON-DISCRIMINATION OF FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS: SCPS does not discriminate
against faith-based organizations.

their knowledge no SCPS official or employee having official responsibility for the procurement

benefit has been received or will be received this fact shall be disclosed with the response or
response or as soon thereafter as it appears that such a benefit will be received. Failure to disclose
the information prescribed above may result in suspension or debarment or recession of the
contract made or could affect payment pursuant to the terms of the contract.
Whenever there is reason to believe that benefit of the sort described in the paragraph above has
been or will be received in connection with response, bid or contract and that the Contractor has
failed to disclose such benefit or has inadequately disclosed it, SCPS, as a prerequisite to payment
pursuant to the Contractor, or at any time require the contractor to furnish, under oath, answers to
any interrogatories related to such possible benefit.

known after inception of a contract the offeror shall address the disclosure of such facts to:
Director of Finance, Shenandoah County Public Schools, 600 N. Main Street, Suite 200,
Woodstock, VA 22664. The Request for Proposal Number should be referenced in the disclosure.

contract void upon a finding that this action is in the best interest of SCPS. Where a contract is
declared void, the performing Contractor shall be compensated for the cost of performance at the
rate specified in the contract up to the time of such declaration. In no event shall the performing
Contractor be entitled to lost profits.
- 18 -

in good faith in accordance with this paragraph shall not be affected by the fact that a protest or
appeal has been filed.
An award need not be delayed for the period allowed a Offeror to protest, but in the event of a
timely protest, no further action to award the contract will be taken unless there is a written
determination that proceeding without delay is necessary to protect the public interest or unless
the response would expire.

proposal if the evidence submitted about, or investigations of, such offeror fails to satisfy SCPS
that such offeror is properly qualified to carry out the obligations of the contract and to complete
the work/furnish the item(s) contemplated therein.
RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS: It is the responsibility of the offeror to assure that the proposal is
delivered to the place designated for receipt of proposals prior to the time set for receipt of
proposals. No proposal received after the time designated for receipt of proposals shall be
considered.

every effort to increase opportunity for utilization of small and minority businesses in all aspects
of procurement to the maximum extent feasible. In connection with the performance of this
contract, the Contractor agrees to use their best effort to carry out this policy and insure that Small
and Minority Businesses shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to compete for
subcontract work under this contract consistent with the efficient performance of this contract. As
used in this contract, the following definitions apply:
"Small Business" means a business concern which, regardless of ownership or
control, does not exceed fifty (50) employees; gross annual income does not exceed
two (2) million dollars; is independently owned and operated (not subsidiary of
another firm); and is not dominant in its field of operation.
"Minority Business" means a business concern which is operated and controlled by
a minority. The term "operated and controlled" shall mean that the managerial and
official staff of the business concern is comprised of minority persons, sufficient in
ratio and gross earnings to demonstrate that the business transactions are, in fact,
controlled by minority persons or a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship
in which minority persons collectively own, operate, control and share in earnings
- 19 -
of fifty one (51) percent or more of such an enterprise.
"Minority Person" means Black, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islanders; American
Indians or Alaskan Natives; and women, regardless of race or ethnicity.
Contractors may rely on oral or written representation by subcontractors regarding
their status as small and/or minority business enterprises in lieu of independent
investigation.
Where Federal grants or monies are involved, it is the policy of the School Board
through its agents and employees to comply with the requirements set forth Standards governing State and Local Grantee Procurement - of the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget Circular No. A-102, Uniform Administrative
Requirements for Grants-in-Aid to State and Local Governments, as they pertain to
small and minority business utilization.
SUBCONTRACTING: If one or more subcontractors are required, the contractor is encouraged to
utilize small, minority-owned, and women-owned business enterprises. Upon award of a contract,
the prime contractor agrees to make maximum effort to provide the names and addresses of each
subcontractor, the subcontractor’s status as well as the type and dollar value of the subcontracted
goods/services provided.
TAX EXEMPTION: SCPS is exempt from the payment of federal excise or Virginia Sales and
Use Tax. The proposal price must be net, exclusive of taxes. When under established trade
practice, any federal excise tax is included in the list price; offeror may quote the list price and
shall show separately the amount of federal excise tax, either as a flat sum or as a percentage of
the list price, which shall be deducted by SCPS. Contractors located outside the Commonwealth
of Virginia are advised that when materials are picked up by SCPS at their place of business, they
may charge and collect their own local/state sales tax.
TERMINATION FOR CAUSE/DEFAULT: In case of failure to deliver goods or provide services
in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, SCPS, after due oral or written notice, may
procure them from other sources and hold the Contractor responsible for any resulting additional
purchase and administrative costs. This remedy shall be in addition to any other remedies which
SCPS may have.
If, through any cause, the Contractor fails to fulfill in a timely and proper manner their obligations
under this contract, or if the Contractor violates any of the covenants, agreements, or stipulations
of this contract, the School Board shall thereupon have the right to terminate, specifying the
effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such termination. In such
event, all finished or unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, and
reports prepared by the Contractor under the contract shall at the option of the School Board
become its property and the Contractor shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation
for any satisfactory work completed on such documents.
Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall be relieved of liability to the School Board for
damages sustained by the School Board by virtue of any breach of contract by the Contractor for
the purpose of set off until such time as the exact amount of damages due to the School Board
from the Contractor is determined.
- 20 -
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE: SCPS reserves the right to cancel and terminate any
resulting contract, in part or in whole, without penalty, whenever the Director of Finance
determines that such a termination is in the best interest of SCPS. Any such termination shall be
effected by delivery to the Contractor, at least ninety (90) days prior to the termination date, a
Notice of Termination specifying the extent to which performance shall be terminated and date
upon which such termination becomes effective. After receipt of a notice of termination, the
Contractor must stop all work or deliveries under the purchase order/contract on the date and to
the extent specified; however, any contract termination notice shall not relieve the Contractor of
the obligation to deliver and/or perform on all outstanding orders issued prior to the effective date
of termination. An equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made for completed service,
but no amount shall be allowed for anticipated profit on unperformed services.
TESTING AND INSPECTION: SCPS reserves the right to conduct any test/inspection it may
deem advisable to assure goods and services conform to the specifications.
TRANSPORTATION AND PACKAGING: All prices submitted must be FOB Destination Freight Prepaid and Allowed. By submitting their proposals, all offerors certify and warrant that

best rate and is based upon the actual weight of the goods to be shipped. Except as otherwise
specified herein, standard commercial packaging, packing and shipping containers shall be used.
All shipping containers shall be legibly marked or labeled on the outside with purchase order
number, commodity description, and quantity.
VIRGINIA FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT: Except as otherwise provided, and in
accordance with Virginia Code § 2.2-4342, all proceedings, records, contracts and other public
records relating to the County’s procurement transactions shall be open to the inspection of any
citizen, or any interested person, firm or corporation, in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of
Information Act (Virginia Code § 2.2-3700 et seq).
Any offeror, upon request shall be afforded the opportunity to inspect bid records within a
reasonable time after the opening/receipt of all proposals, but prior to award, except in the event
that SCPS decides not to accept any of the proposals and to re-solicit. Otherwise proposal records
shall be open to public inspection only after award of the contract.
Any inspection of procurement transaction records under this section shall be subject to reasonable
restrictions to ensure the security and integrity of the records. Trade secrets or proprietary
information submitted by a offeror or contractor in connection with a procurement transaction shall
not be subject to public disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, however, the
offeror or Contractor must invoke the protection of this section in writing prior to or upon
submission of the data or other materials, and must identify the data or other materials to be
protected, and stating the reasons why protection is necessary.
Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to require SCPS to furnish a statement of the
reasons why a particular proposal was not deemed to be the most advantageous to SCPS.
