CITY OF CHEYENNE SURCHARGE AND ESCALATOR – SPECIAL PROVISION
The City of Cheyenne is including in this Bid, a provision to account for unforeseen and unknown Surcharges and Model Year Escalators.
The City will include at the time of Bid award, a Surcharge & Escalator Contingency, in an amount not-to-exceed Fifteen Percent (15%), of the total value of requested items on the Bid (Not including any Trade-Ins). If any Additional Bid Items (ABI) or Options are included with the Bid request, the City will state on the Bid Form which of those items (If any) Bidders will be required to account for in the valuation of the Surcharge & Escalator Contingency.
There will be a space designated on the Bid Form to calculate and provide this Percentage Amount, and will include all items to be included in the calculation of the Contingency amount. Bidders SHALL include 5% of this Contingency amount, in the amount of their submitted Five Percent (5%) Bid Guarantee/Bid Bond. (Bidders will have to first calculate the cost of the Surcharge & Escalator Contingency, and then include that value in their Bid Guarantee calculation).
This contingency percentage amount will be included in the total value of the Bid presented to the Governing Body for approval at the time of Bid award. The utilization of these Contingency funds SHALL NOT be automatic or guaranteed and are subject to review & approval by the City.
The City of Cheyenne is willing to review surcharges related to the following items:
1. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and/or Body surcharges applied to the cost of the vehicles after the bid opening date.
2. Model year escalators.
The awarded bidder shall be responsible for furnishing all documentation to certify the validity of the requested increase in any costs, and shall provide requests on company letterhead along with any documentation provided by the OEM or Body manufacturers in reference to the surcharge or increase. Surcharges directly related to the Body, shall be provided directly from the Body Manufacturer through the Body Dealership to the Awarded Bidder/Chassis Company. The burden of proof for any request for surcharge increase shall solely reside with the Awarded Bidder. The City reserves the right to deny surcharge requests, or request supplementary information, if the request is deemed to be unfounded or without adequate documentation.
The City cannot provide a waiver of Liquidated Damages, in reference to the timing of Delivery. Bidders are provided the opportunity to present their required Delivery time to the City on the Bid Form. Delivery Time will have no bearing on Bid Award Determination.
The undersigned Bidder certifies that any requested cost surcharges or increases proposed to be paid from the Surcharge/Escalator Contingency, shall be fair and proper and not tainted by any collusion, conspiracy, connivance, or unlawful agreement on the part of the bidder or any of the bidder’s agents, representatives, owners, employees, or parties in interest.
Bidder agrees to abide by the award of the Bid and waives their right to contest any and all future application and payment of Surcharges to any Awarded Bidder.
EXAMPLE Calculation of Bid Guarantee & Surcharge & Escalator Contingency
Please see example of calculations below:
Cost Submitted, for 1 Unit, $100,000.00
Trade-In Offered for 1 Unit ($10,000.00)
Calculation of Surcharge & Escalator Contingency:
$100,000.00 * (Fifteen Percent (15%)) = $15,000.00 in Surcharge & Escalator Contingency.
Calculation of Bid Guarantee Amount:
Bid Guarantee shall be calculated at:
Five Percent (5%) of “$100,000.00 (Cost of Unit)” + “$10,000.00 (Plus not Less, Trade In Offer)”
($100,000.00 COST + $10,000.00 TRADE) = $110,000.00
(5% * 110,000.00) = $5,500.00
PLUS (+)
Five Percent (5%) of $15,000.00 (Surcharge & Escalator Contingency Amount)”
(5% * $15,000.00) = $750.00
EQUALS (=) Bid Guarantee Submitted for $6,250.00 ($5,500.00 + $750.00)
