Page 1 of 1 FREQUENTLY ASKED OUESTIONS CAN I PURCHASE NON -OFFICE FURNITURE FROM THIS CONTRACT? It is not the intent of this contract to furnish non- office spaces, however, if there are items needed for a public or conferencing area, the purchase would be acceptable. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT ORDERING LATERAL FILES FROM THIS CONTRACT? The stability of files is assured if they are properly installed and loaded, therefore we strongly recommend all laterals be ordered "Delivered and Installed" from the manufacturer. Follow the instructions that are shipped with the files to ensure that they are properly installed to provide safe performance. Instructions should include information about leveling files and ganging files together. Counterbalance for lateral file units is recommended unless cabinets are ganged from most manufacturers. There may be an additional charge for counterbalance. CAN I PURCHASE FROM A SERVICING DEALER THAT IS NOT LISTED WITHIN A MANUFACTURER'S CONTRACT? Technically, a servicing dealer must be listed as an approved contract dealer prior to order placement. Check with the manufacturer to make sure that you're looking at the most updated version of their dealer Iisting. If you need further verification of a dealer's approval, you can contact the State Purchasing contract administrator. WHEN INSTALLATION OR SPACE PLANNING FEES ARE LISTED AS "NEGOTIABLE", HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M BEING CHARGED TOO MUCH? Contractors, or their servicing dealers, will quote installation or space planning fees based on a variety of different factors — delivery requirements, time -intensive planning, non-standard hours, to name a few. The variation of product will produce a wide range of charges, and therefore, there is no standard charge within the industry for some of these services. Of courses, the final decision will rest with the customer. If the charges are extraordinary, you are not obligated to accept the quote. Just be sure that this issue is negotiated up front, prior to any labor being supplied. CAN I CANCEL A CUSTOM FURNITURE ORDER? Only with thetritten agreement of the contractor. Be aware that if a custom order has already begun production, contractors are not obligated to accept your request for cancellation. Also, if a contractor agrees to keep the cancelled product, they may charge a re -stocking fee. I'M NOT ABLE TO ACCESS A MANUFACTURER'S CONTRACT WEB SITE — HOW DO I FIND THE INFORMATION THAT I NEED TO PLACE AN ORDER? Just in case the manufacturer has updated their web site, try to "reload" or "refresh" the web site (especially if you've book marked that particular site). If there are other technological problems that hamper access to the site, please report that situation to the State Purchasing contract administrator. State Purchasing may be able to provide you with the necessary information quickly, and can check into restoring access to the manufacturer's site. THIS LIST OF -QUESTIONS MAY BE UPDATED PERIODICALLY.
