OAR 731-005-0490
Bids or Proposals Are Offers

(1)

Offer and Acceptance. The Bid or Proposal is the Bidder’s or Proposer’s Offer to enter into a Contract. The Offer is a “Firm Offer,” i.e., the Offer shall be held open by the Offeror for ODOT’s acceptance for the period specified in OAR 731-005-0630 (Time for Agency Acceptance). ODOT’s award of the Contract constitutes acceptance of the Offer and binds the Offeror to the Contract.

(2)

Responsive Offer. ODOT may award a Contract only to a Responsible Offeror with a Responsive Offer.

(3)

Contingent Offers. Except to the extent the Offeror is authorized to propose certain terms and conditions pursuant to OAR 731-005-0470 (Solicitation Methods) and 731-005-0650 (Offer Evaluation and Award), an Offeror shall not make its Offer contingent upon ODOT’s acceptance of any terms or conditions (including Specifications) other than those contained in the Solicitation Document.

(4)

Offeror’s Acknowledgement. By signing and returning the Offer, the Offeror acknowledges it has read and understands the terms and conditions contained in the Solicitation Document and that it accepts and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Solicitation Document. If the Request for Proposal permits proposal of alternative terms under OAR 731-005-0470 (Solicitation Methods)(2), the Offeror’s Offer includes the nonnegotiable terms and conditions and any proposed terms and conditions offered for negotiation upon and to the extent accepted by ODOT in Writing.
