SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE

Supplier Files
Purchasing has established supplier files for all suppliers. All suppliers should keep Purchasing advised of any address changes as well as additions or deletions in goods or services offered. The information in our files must be kept current to insure that your firm receives bid invitations or RFPs.

Delivery Dates
Failure to meet specified delivery dates reflects on the supplier's performance and could be a factor in subsequent award determinations. It is the supplier's responsibility to notify the appropriate buyer when a delay in the delivery schedule occurs. At that time, the supplier shall indicate the new anticipated delivery date and the reason for the delay. It should be noted that failure to delivery in accordance with contract schedules may result in the supplier being declared in default. Termination action may also be taken by the City.

Quality and Service
Unsatisfactory product quality or service performance reflects on the supplier and could be a factor in subsequent award determinations or result in the removal of the supplier from bidders lists. Poor performance can increase the City's operation costs and must be taken into consideration to comply with the City Charter stipulation that awards should made for the lowest and most advantageous bid.

Equal Employment Opportunity
Seller agrees that during the performance of its contract it will:
a. Treat all applicants and employees without discrimination as to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, age, or handicap.
b. Identify itself as an Equal Opportunity Employer in all help-wanted advertisements or requests.

The Seller shall be advised of any complaints filed with the City alleging that Seller is not an Equal Opportunity Employer.

The City reserves the right to consider reports from the City's Human Relations administrator in response to such complaints and to determine whether or not to terminate any portion of the contract for which purchase orders or authorities to deliver have not been included. The Seller, however, is specifically advised that no Equal Opportunity Employment complaint will be the basis for canceling any contract for which a purchase order has been issued or authority to deliver granted.


Conflicts of Interest
Seller agrees to comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the City charter and Code of Ordinances. Seller agrees to maintain current updated disclosure of information on file with the City purchasing office throughout the term of any contract.
