Section 4d-3-6 - Specifications; samples(a) All specifications shall be minimum standards. If any accepted sample is superior in quality to the specifications, all deliveries shall have the same identity and quality as the accepted sample.(b) Samples, when required, shall be submitted strictly in accordance with instructions, otherwise the bid or proposal may not be considered. If samples are requested subsequent to the due date of bids or proposals, they shall be delivered as specified in the invitation to bid or request for proposals. Samples shall be furnished free of charge and shall be accompanied by descriptive memorandum invoices indicating if the bidder or proposer desires their return, provided they have not been used or made useless by tests. Samples may be held for comparison with deliveries. Samples shall be returned at the bidder's or proposer's risk and expense.(c) When the bid or proposal indicates that an item is to be equivalent to a sample, such sample shall be on display in the department unless another location is specified. Failure on the part of the bidder or proposer to examine the sample shall not relieve them from the conditions imposed by the ITB or RFP.(d) The CIO may amend or reject a specification at any time if the CIO determines that the amendment or rejection is in the best interest of the state.Conn.
