Region 4 ESC, in its sole discretion and for any reason or no reason, reserves the rights to reject any or all bids, accept only a part of any bid, accept the bid deemed most advantageous to Region 4 ESC, and waive any technicalities. The issuance of this IFB does not obligate Region 4 ESC to make an award or negotiate or execute a contract. Region 4 ESC reserves the right to amend the terms and provisions of the IFB, negotiate with a proposer, add, delete, or modify the contract and/or the terms of any bid submitted, extend the deadline for submission of bids, ask for best and final offers, or withdraw the IFB entirely for any reason solely at Region 4 ESC’s discretion. An individual bid may be rejected if it fails to meet any requirement of this IFB. Region 4 ESC may seek clarification from a bidder at any time, and failure to respond within a reasonable time frame is cause for rejection of a bid. 2 Please be advised that all information and documents submitted will be subject to the Public Information Act requirements governed by the State of Texas. Because contracts are awarded by a governmental entity, all responses submitted are subject to release as public information after contracts are executed. If an Offeror believes that its response, or parts of its response, may be exempted from disclosure, the Offeror must specify page-by-page and line-by-line the parts of the response, which it believes, are exempt. In addition, the Offeror must specify which exception(s) are applicable and provide detailed reasons to substantiate the exception(s). Offeror must provide this information on the “Acknowledgement and Acceptance to Region 4 ESC’s Open Record Policy” form found on the next page of this solicitation. Any information that is unmarked will be considered public information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act. The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 4 Education Service Center (“ESC”) must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the Offeror are not acceptable. Region 4 ESC must comply with the opinions of the OAG. Region 4 ESC assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments on behalf of any Offeror. Offerors are advised to consult with their legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting from this procurement process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other proprietary information.
