and perform due diligence prior to submitting a bid. The contracted unit cost of the chemical is the awarded bid price. The successful bidder may seek a price increase for any nontrivial change requested by the participating BACC agency in the terms and conditions of the participating BACC agency’s purchase order, purchase agreements, and / or contracts. The successful bidder may not change the price throughout the term of the contract unless by mutual written agreement between BACC agency and successful bidder per Section 4.4 Modification of Contract. 3.6 Taxes Pursuant to the Sales and Use Tax Law, water treatment facilities are entitled to submit Resale Certificates to the California State Board of Equalization which exempt that utility from paying sales tax on any chemical purchased for the expressed use of producing a consumable water product. The participating BACC agencies that provide potable and/or recycled water to customers will be responsible for providing the successful bidder with these certificates or letter documenting their determination if the chemical they seek to purchase is exempt from sales tax. BACC agencies that do not notify the successful bidder that their agency is exempt from paying sales tax shall be invoiced with sales tax shown as a separate, itemized cost on the invoice. Chemicals purchased solely for the use in wastewater treatment and disposal facilities are subject to sales tax. 3.7 Delivery Requirements Bidders are responsible for reviewing each of the listed delivery locations or geographic regions for each participating BACC agency and ensuring that their product can be delivered to each location prior to submitting a bid. Bidders that intend to utilize the services of a third party hauling company for some or all of their deliveries are responsible for ensuring that the hauler they have selected can and will deliver their product to each location listed in Section III-2, Delivery Details, and for submitting an affidavit pertaining to assurance with their bid. Failure to provide this assurance and submit an affidavit may be cause for rejecting their bid. Delivery bills of lading must be provided for each shipment. All bulk shipments must include a weight ticket from a certified weigh station in addition to a shipping manifest. Delivery times and dates must be coordinated between the successful bidder and each participating BACC agency on a schedule that meets the needs of the BACC agency, but at no time can a delivery occur more than seven (7) days after the order is placed unless the respective BACC agency requests a later delivery. No delivery can be made when a BACC agency representative is not on site. The successful bidder must notify the BACC agency of any anticipated late deliveries at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled delivery time and date, unless delivery delays are the result of in-route transportation delays, then notification must be provided as soon as possible to inform the BACC agency of the anticipated delivery date and time. Persistently late or cancelled deliveries (defined as three or more over the contract period) may be used as a basis for contract termination. Failure to provide notice of late delivery as required by this section may also be a basis for contract termination. Any deliveries not meeting chemical quality, regulatory, safety, or delivery requirements will be returned to the successful bidder at no cost to the BACC agency, and must be re-delivered by the bidder within 48 hours of the unacceptable delivery. 13
