A. In addition to the requirements or criteria contained in a bid package or proposal package, or contained in other solicitation documents, any bid, proposal or other offer or submission may be evaluated in accordance with the following:
1. The procurement rules may state criteria by which any submission may be evaluated.
2. The City may inspect, test, and otherwise evaluate any equipment, goods, supplies, services, products, plants, places of business or other items used in or subject to a City procurement process or City contract. The City may reject any supply, service, or other item in connection with such inspection, test, or evaluation.
3. A written determination of nonresponsibility of a bidder or offeror shall be made in accordance with the procurement rules. The unreasonable failure of a bidder or offeror to promptly supply information in connection with an inquiry with respect to responsibility may be grounds for a determination of nonresponsibility.
B. In addition to the requirements contained in a bid package or proposal package, or contained in other solicitation documents, a bid for a building improvement or public works project shall include application of the criteria set forth in section 3.24.115 of this article. (Ord. 17-12, 2012)
