and has determined that this published specification is best suited for the MPDHD needs in terms of
quality and features. This specification shall not be interpreted as restrictive but rather as a measure of
quality and performance against which all other 10' Rotary Mowers will be compared.

In comparing proposals, comparison will not be confined to price only. The successful proposer will be
one whose product is judged as best serving the interest of the MPDHD when price, product, quality and
delivery are considered. The MPDHD also reserves the right to reject any or all proposals or any part
thereof, and to waive any minor technicalities. A contract will be awarded to the proposer submitting
the lowest responsible proposal meeting the requirements.

2.0 EQUIVALENT PRODUCT

Proposals will be accepted for consideration on any make or model that is equal or superior to the 10'
Rotary Mowers specified. Decisions of equivalency will be at the sole interpretation of the MPDHD. A
blanket statement that equipment proposed will meet all requirements will not be sufficient to establish
equivalence. An original manufacture’s brochure of the proposed product is to be submitted with
proposal.

3.0 INTERPRETATIONS

In order to be fair to all proposers, no oral interpretations will be given to any proposer, as to the
meaning of the specification documents or any part thereof. Every request for such a consideration

accordance with local state laws.

The specification herein states the minimum requirements of the MPDHD. All proposals must be regular
in every respect. Unauthorized conditions, limitations, or provisions shall be cause for rejection. The
MPDHD will consider as irregular or non-responsive any and all proposals that are not prepared and
submitted in accordance with proposal document and specification, or any proposal lacking sufficient
technical literature to enable the MPDHD to make a reasonable determination of compliance to the
specification. It shall be the proposer’s responsibility to carefully examine each item of the specification
(COMPLY: YES / NO) will cause the proposal to be rejected without review as non responsive. All
variances, exceptions and/or deviations shall be fully described in the appropriate section. Deceit in
