In the event that the solicitation is revised by an addendum, supplier shall submit the original solicitation and any addenda that the buyer requires to be submitted. c.

All prices and notations must be typewritten. b. All prices must be bid in U.S. currency. c. Unit prices may not be more than four (4) places to the right of the decimal point. For example, a unit price of $.56726 each would exceed this limitation. Unit prices which exceed this limitation will automatically be truncated to the fourth decimal place for both evaluation and award purposes. Using the example just cited, the "6" at the end of the unit price would be truncated (i.e., dropped off) leaving a unit price of $.5672 each. d. An error in the bid may cause the rejection of that bid; however, the County may at its sole option retain the bid and make certain arithmetic corrections. In determining if a correction will be made, the County will consider the conformance of the bid to the format and content required by the solicitation, and any unusual complexity of the format and content required by the solicitation. i.

The County may at its sole option correct obvious clerical errors. iii. The total price of unit-price items will be the product of the unit price and the quantity of the item.

Out of state contractors must include California Sales Tax permit number. v. Prices quoted shall be firm for the first period of the price agreement. vi. Cost increases may be considered during Contract renewal periods only. The County requires bona fide proof of cost increases prior to any price escalation adjustment.

When offering escalating price bids, quote applicable labor and material separately as to percentage of total cost. No retroactive pricing adjustments will be considered. The County may enforce, adjust, or cancel escalating price agreements as it sees fit. The net dollar amount of profit will remain firm during the period of the price agreement.

BRAND NAMES: Any reference to brand names and/or numbers in the solicitation is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, unless otherwise specified. Bids offering equivalent items meeting the standards of quality specified may be considered, unless otherwise specified, providing the bid clearly describes the article offered and how it differs from the referenced brand. Unless bidder specifies otherwise, it is understood that the bidder is offering a referenced brand item as specified in the solicitation.

Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the County may accept any item or combination of items as specified in the solicitation, of any bid unless the bidder expressly objects and conditions its response on receiving all items for which it provided a bid. In the event that the bidder so objects, the County may consider the bidder's objection and evaluate whether the award on such basis will result in the lowest price to the County or may determine in its sole discretion that such an objection is non-responsive and renders the bidder ineligible for award. c. All other criteria to be used in evaluating bids will be identified elsewhere in the solicitation. 9. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: a. Current County Employees (PCC Section 10410): i. No officer or employee shall engage in any employment, activity or enterprise from which the officer or employee receives compensation or has a financial interest and which is sponsored or funded by any County Agency/Department, unless the employment, activity or enterprise is required as a condition of regular County employment. ii.

If you have been denied Medi-Cal or you are no longer eligible for Medi-Cal through your county and you have breast and/or cervical cancer, tell your county Eligibility Worker (EW). Your EW can make a referral for you to the BCCTP. An Eligibility Specialist (ES) from the BCCTP will call or write to you for more information. The requested information will help us to see if you are eligible for the program. You may be Medi-Cal eligible through the BCCTP if you are a woman and you meet the following requirements: Have been screened and found in need of treatment for breast and/or cervical cancer, follow-up care for cancer, or precancerous cervical lesions/conditions by an Every Woman Counts (EWC) or Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (FamPACT) provider; and Are a California resident; and Are under age 65; and Are a United States citizen or have satisfactory immigration status; and Have no other health insurance including full-scope no share-of-cost Medi-Cal, or Medicare; and Have a monthly gross family income, at the time of screening and diagnosis, that is at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

Your BCCTP worker will help you find an EWC or FamPACT provider that can confirm your diagnosis. Even if you do not meet all the above requirements, you may still receive BCCTP through the State-funded BCCTP. The State-funded BCCTP can help you for up to18 months for breast cancer or up to 24 months for cervical cancer.

DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS If you think you have been discriminated against, you may submit a complaint application separately to the County or the State, and the Federal Government. The Federal agency that you must complain to depends on which program your complaint is about. You can file a discrimination complaint with: 1. FOR ALL PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY YOUR COUNTY WELFARE DEPARTMENT: The County’s Civil Rights Coordinator. Ask your county office for the name, address and phone number of their Civil Rights Coordinator. He/she will independently investigate your complaint. 2. Civil Rights Bureau California Department of Social Services 744 P Street, MS 8-16-70 Sacramento, CA 95814 (916) 654-2107 (866) 741-6241 (Toll-Free) 3.

If the discrimination also affected the level of your benefits and services, you must also ask for a state hearing within 90 days. A discrimination investigation cannot change your benefit levels or services…only a state hearing can do that. LIMITS ON CERTAIN RIGHTS Although you have the right to privacy and confidentiality, there are certain laws that allow limited exceptions. You can ask the county for the laws.

Understand what is happening with your application and aid. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO… All people and organizations providing public assistance must respect your rights. They can help you understand and apply for benefits and services. YOUR RIGHTS 1. Keep records of all your information, documents, and contacts with the county. 2. Get a receipt when you turn anything in. 3. You can bring someone with you to a meeting with your worker. 4. Complain. There are 4 ways to do this: ■ Informal: You can ask to speak to a supervisor to talk about problems with a worker or to go over the rules and the proposed action on your aid or services. ■ State Hearing: Ask for a state hearing if there is a problem with your aid or services. You must ask for a hearing within 90 days of the county's action. You may be able to file after 90 days if you have a good reason, like illness or a disability. ■ Discrimination complaint: If you feel that the county has discriminated against you, you can make a discrimination complaint to the County’s Civil Rights Coordinator or to the State Civil Rights Bureau, and to the Federal Government. You must do this within 180 days of the discrimination. For more on this, see the section beginning “Prohibited Discrimination.” IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR AID OR SERVICES: 2. Get written and oral explanations about your application and aid. 3. Get a receipt for any documents you turn in. 4. See your case record. 5. See state and county laws and regulations. 6. Ask a judge to review any county decision about your eligibility, benefits, or services. 7. Not face discrimination in receiving program benefits or services. 8. File a complaint about discrimination. 9. Get extra help from county staff to make sure you get your benefits if you have a disability or impairment that makes it hard to understand the program rules. 10. Have your information kept confidential. 11. Be treated with courtesy and respect. You can ask for a state hearing any time you disagree with a county’s action on your benefits or services. You can also ask for a state hearing if the county is not giving you benefits or services which you think you should get. A state hearing is heard by a state Administrative Law Judge. The county will have someone at the hearing to explain why they took their action. A state hearing is not a court hearing. You do have the right to have a representative with you. There are free legal services in every county. They are listed on the back of your county notices. You can bring witnesses. You have the right to a free interpreter. Ask the county how to get one. • If your problem is with General Assistance or general relief, you must ask for a county hearing. • If your problem is with Social Security benefits, you must contact the Social Security Administration. The county must give you a notice at least 10 days before any action to change your aid or services takes place. If you ask for a hearing before the action takes place, you can get “aid paid pending” your hearing. This means your aid stays the same until you get a hearing decision. You MUST ask for a hearing on any new notice you get, if you disagree. CONTINUING YOUR AID OR SERVICES PENDING A STATE HEARING ■ ■ ■ ■ STATE HEARINGS ■ If the discrimination also affects your benefits or services, you must also ask for a state hearing if you wish to challenge the county’s decision on your benefits or services. Grievance: You can file a complaint with the county if they have a grievance procedure. This does not protect your benefits in the way that asking for a state hearing does. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Bid 017-926202-SL The County does not give you a free interpreter. A worker tells a certain ethnic group about more programs and services than people of other ethnicities. The County won’t help you get audio tapes of a program orientation to help you with a disability that makes it hard for you to read. A worker learns of your religion or politics and then treats you differently. You can’t get to appointments because the county building does not have an elevator. EXAMPLES OF DISCRIMINATION Under State law, welfare agencies may not provide you aid, benefits or services that is different from aid provided to others on the basis of Race, Color, National Origin (including language), Ethnic Group Identification, Age, Disability, Religion, Sex, Sexual Orientation, Political Affiliation, Marital Status, or Domestic Partnership Federal laws also prohibit discrimination on several, although not all, of the bases listed above. Federal Law also prohibits : 1. Delaying or denying the placement of a child for adoption or into foster care on the basis of race, color or national origin of the adoptive or foster parents, or the child; 2. Denying to any individual the opportunity to become a foster or adoptive parent on the basis of race, color or national origin of the individual or child involved. PROHIBITED DISCRIMINATION 1.

SI TIENE PROBLEMAS CON SU ASISTENCIA O SUS SERVICIOS: 3. Obtener un recibo para cada documento que entrega. 4. Ver el expediente de su caso. 5. Ver las leyes y los ordenamientos del Estado y del Condado. 6. Pedirle a un juez que revise cualquier decisión del Condado sobre su elegibilidad, beneficios, o servicios. 7. No ser víctima de discriminación en cuanto a recibir beneficios o servicios de los programas. 8. Presentar una queja sobre cualquier discriminación. 9.

Puede pedir una audiencia con el Estado si no está de acuerdo con una acción del Condado en relación a sus beneficios o servicios. También puede pedir una audiencia con el Estado si el Condado no le da los beneficios o servicios que usted cree que debe recibir. Un juez de leyes administrativas del Estado está a cargo de la audiencia con el Estado. Un representante del Condado estará presente también en la audiencia para explicar por qué tomó su acción el Condado. Una audiencia con el Estado no es una audiencia de la corte. Usted tiene el derecho de llevar un representante a la audiencia. Hay servicios legales gratuitos en cada condado los cuales se indican en la segunda página de las notificaciones del Condado. Puede llevar testigos. Tiene el derecho de tener un intérprete gratis. Pregúntele al Condado cómo hacerlo. • Si tiene un problema con el Programa de Asistencia General/Ayuda General, tiene que pedir una audiencia con el Condado. • Si tiene un problema con sus beneficios de Seguro Social, tiene que comunicarse con la Administración del Seguro Social. El Condado tiene que darle una notificación por lo menos 10 días antes de que entre en vigor cualquier acción que cambie su asistencia o sus servicios. Si pide una audiencia antes de que entre en vigor la acción, puede continuar recibiendo asistencia hasta que se lleve a cabo la audiencia (“aid paid pending”). Esto significa que su asistencia quedará igual hasta que se emita una decisión sobre la audiencia. USTED TIENE QUE pedir una audiencia cada vez que reciba una notificación sobre cualquier acción con la cual usted no está de acuerdo.

Esto no protege sus beneficios de la misma manera que lo hace el pedir una audiencia con el Estado. El Condado no le ayuda a obtener cintas de grabación (audio tapes) de la orientación para un programa para ayudarle con una incapacidad/discapacidad que le hace difícil leer.
