Ownership Disclosure:
During the entire term of the contract, the successful Respondent must

consideration when evaluating the submitted bids.

rendering and acceptance thereof.

corrections must be “whited out” and initialed in ink. Proposals

1.16.5 A Respondent may request that its bid proposal be withdrawn prior

may submit a revised bid proposal as long as the revised bid
proposal is received prior to the announced date and time for the
opening of the proposals. If, after the bid opening but for contract
award, a bidder discovers an error in its proposal, the bidder may
make a request to the Purchasing Department for authorization to
withdraw its proposal from consideration for award. Evidence of
the bidder’s good faith in making this request shall be used in
making the determination. The factors that will be considered are
that the mistake is so significant that to enforce the contract
resulting from the bid proposal will be unconscionable; that the
mistake relates to a material feature of the contract; that the
mistake occurred notwithstanding the bidder’s exercise of
reasonable care; and that the College will not be significantly
prejudiced by granting the withdrawal of the bid proposal.
If during the evaluation of the bid proposals received, an obvious
pricing error made by a potential contract awardee is found, the
8
Purchasing Department shall issue written notice to the bidder.
The bidder will have five days after receipt of the notice to confirm
its pricing. If the bidder fails to respond, its bid proposal shall be
considered withdrawn, and no further consideration shall be given.
If it is discovered that there is an arithmetic disparity between the
unit price and the total extended price, the unit price shall prevail.
If there is any other ambiguity in the pricing other than a disparity
between the unit price and extended price and the bidder’s
intention is not readily discernible from other parts of the bid
proposal, the Purchasing Department may seek clarification from
the bidder to ascertain the true intent of the bid proposal.
1.17
Termination of Contract:
The College reserves the right to terminate the contract with or without
cause by providing at least ten (10) days written notice to the vendor. The
College may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, by written notice
to the Respondent. If such termination is for the College’s convenience,
the College after deducting any amount(s) previously paid, shall pay for
all services rendered or goods provided by the Respondent, as well as any
reasonable costs incurred by the Respondent, up to the time of termination
but not including the Respondent’s lost profits. Under no circumstances
shall Respondent be entitled to recover more than the price of the goods or
services as stated in the contract. Upon receiving notice of the College’s
termination for convenience, Respondent shall use its best efforts to
reduce or mitigate any costs incurred in connection with the goods or
services.
1.18
Ownership of Materials:
Ownership of all data, material and documentation originated and
prepared for the College pursuant to this RFP and ensuing contract shall
become and remain the property of the College.
1.19

College regarding the ability of the Respondents to supply and/or render

Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:

2. I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue

no longer subject to backup withholding, and

Certification instructions. You must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding
because you have failed to report all interest and dividends on your tax return. For real estate transactions, item 2 does not apply. For mortgage
interest paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and
generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN. See the
instructions on page 4.

General Instructions
Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request
your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar
to this Form W-9.
Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are
considered a U.S. person if you are:
• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or
organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,
• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or
business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding
tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business.
Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a
partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person,
and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a
partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United
States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S.
status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise
noted.
Purpose of Form
A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must
obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for
example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest
you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation
of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.
Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident
alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the
requester) and, when applicable, to:
1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a
number to be issued),
2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or
3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt
payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your
allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business
is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of
effectively connected income.

Order 117 (2008)
INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
For Completing The “Two- Year Vendor Certification and Disclosure of Political
Contributions” Forms
Background Information
On September 22, 2004, then-Governor James E. McGreevey issued Executive Order 134, the purpose of which was to
insulate the negotiation and award of State contracts from political contributions that posed a risk of improper influence,
purchase of access or the appearance thereof. To this end, Executive Order 134 prohibited State departments, agencies
and authorities from entering into contracts exceeding $17,500 with individuals or entities that made certain political
contributions. Executive Order 134 was superseded by Public Law 2005, c. 51, signed into law on March 22, 2005
(“Chapter 51”).
On September 24, 2008, Governor Jon S. Corzine issued Executive Order No. 117 (“E.O. 117”), which is designed to
enhance New Jersey’s efforts to protect the integrity of procurement decisions and increase the public’s confidence in
government. The Executive Order builds upon the provisions of Chapter 51.
Two-Year Certification Process
Upon approval by the State, the Certification and Disclosure of Political Contributions form (CH51.1R1/21/2009) is valid
for a two (2) year period. Thus, if a vendor receives approval on Jan 1, 2009, the certification expiration date would be
Dec 31, 2011. Any change in the vendor’s ownership status and/or political contributions during the two-year period will
require the submission of new Chapter 51/EO117 forms to the State Review Unit. Please note that it is the vendor’s
responsibility to file new forms with the State should these changes occur.
Prior to the awarding of a contract, the agency should first send an e-mail to [email protected] to verify the
certification status of the vendor. If the response is that the vendor is NOT within an approved two-year period, then
forms must be obtained from the vendor and forwarded for review. If the response is that the vendor is within an
approved two-year period, then the response so stating should be placed with the bid/contract documentation for the
subject project.
Instructions for Completing the Forms
