Common use of Rejected Items; Abandonment Clause in Contracts

Rejected Items; Abandonment. If DOIT notifies Bidders that they must retrieve samples, or any other Systems, goods or equipment (collectively, the “Rejected Items”) belonging to the Bidder, wherever located, the Bidder must do so within forty-eight (48) hours after notification unless public health and safety require immediate destruction or other disposal of the Rejected Items. The Bidder agrees and acknowledges that its failure to retrieve and remove from any State premises the Rejected Items within such time shall be deemed to be an abandonment of the Rejected Items and, without more required of any party, shall vest authority in DOIT or any Agency to use or dispose of the Rejected Items as if they were the State’s own property, as they deem it to be appropriate and in accordance with the law without incurring any liability or obligation to the Bidder or any other party. To the extent that DOIT and/or any Agency incurs any costs or expenses in connection with the Rejected Items, including, but not limited to, disposing of the Rejected Items, the Bidder shall reimburse the appropriate State entity no later than thirty (30) days after the date of invoice for such costs and expenses. All samples will be set up at DOIT unless DOIT indicates another location.
