Common use of ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION/CANCELLATION Clause in Contracts

ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION/CANCELLATION. The County reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, with or without cause, to waive technicalities, or to accept the proposal which, in its sole judgment best serves the interest of the County, or to award a contract to the next most qualified proposer if a successful proposer does not execute a contract within thirty (30) days after approval of the selection by the Board of County Commissioners or other competent authority. The County also reserves the right to reject the proposal of any proposer who has previously failed in the proper performance of an award or to deliver on time contracts of a similar nature or who, in the County’s opinion, is not in a position to perform properly under this award. The County reserves the right to inspect all facilities of proposers in order to make a determination as to the foregoing. Orange County reserves the right, and the Manager of Procurement Division has absolute and sole discretion, to cancel a solicitation at any time prior to approval of the award by the Board of County Commissioners when such approval is required. The decision to cancel a solicitation cannot be the basis for a protest pursuant to the Orange County Code.
