notify the Successful Bidder/Contractor, in writing, of its intent to extend the Contract in accordance with the
existing terms and conditions for a specified number of days. Additional extensions beyond the first one hundred
twenty (120) day extension may occur, if, the City and the Successful Bidder/Contractor are in mutual agreement of
such extensions.
F. Where the Contract involves a single shipment of goods to the City, the Contract term shall conclude upon
completion of the expressed or implied warranty periods.
G. The City reserves the right to award the Contract on a split -order, lump sum, individual -item basis, or such

the next lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, or all Bid responses may be rejected.

manufacturers, trade names, or Bidder catalog numbers are specified, it is for the purpose of establishing the type,
function, minimum standard of design, efficiency, grade, or quality of goods only. When the City does not desire to
