Proposals received from Bidders who do not manufacturer the chassis shall provide a separate
warranty which is issued jointly and severally by, both the Bidder and the chassis manufacturer.
This document shall be included in the bid response package.
If the successful Bidder does not manufacture the chassis, the Bidder shall supply a separate
warranty bond (in addition to their performance bond) along with their signed contract which
guarantees all terms and conditions of the warranty and names, as co-principals, both the Bidder
and the chassis manufacturer. This warranty bond shall be issued for the contract amount and
shall remain in force for a term which is consistent with the term of the warranty quoted in the
bid.
Bidders who manufacture the chassis should provide a warranty issued in their name only.
9.) Financing
The apparatus to be acquired under this invitation shall be financed under a lease to be secured and
offered by the bidder.
The Town shall make its first lease payment of $100,000 within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the truck
in a fully operational condition. Should items of correction be needed, the payment will be made within
thirty (30) days of the corrections having been made and accepted by the Town.
The Town will then make four additional payments on the anniversary of the first payment in the amount
to be specified in the bid.
The lease must have a standard “escape” clause which allows the Town to cancel the lease in the event
the Town Meeting does not appropriate subsequent lease payments.
The lease must allow the Town to “buy-out” the balance of the payments at any time if it should so wish.
10.) Bid due Date and Methods of Delivery
Sealed bids will be accepted until 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, June April 26, 2012 in the Offices of the
SelectBoard, 6 Holland Street, PO Box 139, Moultonborough, NH 03254 at which time they will be
opened and publicly read aloud. Each submitted bid should be in a sealed envelope marked, Town of
Moultonborough, Rescue 1, with the due date clearly marked. If mailed, the bid submission should be in
a similarly marked separate sealed envelope to protect against the actual bid being opened in error.
