MODIFICATIONS RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT - CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
By submitting its bid during the COVID-19 period, the TENDER is aware of the government measures and economic context in effect on the day of submission. It will therefore not be possible for it to invoke these measures as a case of force majeure in order to avoid its obligations.

However, it is possible that additional governmental measures or new unforeseeable events may occur after the contract has been awarded, and thus affect the completion deadlines.

In such a case, the PUBLIC BODY and the SERVICE PROVIDER will negotiate in good faith.

RECEIPT OF BIDS
Bids will be received electronically by SEAO or addressed to the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION when submitted on paper at 1325, rue Industrielle, La Prairie (Québec) J5R 2E4, no later than 10:00 a.m., local time,
on June 20, 2024.


As of June 1, 2019, the transmission of the same bid electronically and on paper constitutes the filing of multiple bids and will result in the automatic rejection of all bids so filed. If a SUBMITTER wishes to submit a bid electronically, it must send a single bid via the SEAO. This may no longer be accompanied by a paper bid, on pain of automatic rejection.


OPENING OF BIDS
Bids shall be opened publicly, in the presence of a witness, at the place indicated above, immediately after the time and date set for receipt of Bids. BIDDERS may attend the bid opening in person.
