Failure to <br />comply with the terms of this provision will disqualify any proposal. The City reserves the <br />right to reject any proposal based upon the Proposer's prior history with the City or with any <br />other party, which documents, without limitation, unsatisfactory performance, adversarial or <br />contentious demeanor, significant failure(s) to meet contract milestones or other contractual <br />failures. <br />Q. NEGOTIATIONS <br />The City reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms with any Proposer selected. The <br />contract between the parties will consist of the RFP together with any modifications thereto, <br />and the awarded Contractor's proposal, together with any modifications and clarifications <br />thereto that are submitted at the request of the City during the evaluation and negotiation <br />process. In the event of any conflict or contradiction between or among these documents, <br />the documents shall control in the following order of precedence: the final executed contract, <br />the RFP, any modifications and clarifications to the awarded Contractor's proposal, and the <br />awarded Contractor's proposal. Specific exceptions to this general rule may be noted in the <br />final executed contract. <br />23-115 Pre -Employment Medical Screening Services Page 14 of 34 <br />
