If the agency is closed for any unforeseen reason which prevents the acceptance and/or opening of sealed or electronic bids, or prevents the live reverse auction at the advertised date and time, all bids shall be publicly opened and read aloud with the reverse auction commencing on the next business day that the agency shall be open at the previously advertised time.  The agency shall not be held responsible for the receipt of any bids for which delivery was attempted and failed due to unforeseen closure of the agency.  Each vendor/contractor shall be required to ensure delivery and receipt of its sealed and/or electronic bid by the agency prior to the new date and time of the bid opening.

The County further reserves the right to utilize Aanti-sniping@ for reverse auctions.  Anti-sniping is a tool that automatically extends the bid tie for reverse auctions by five (5) minutes if a vendor places a bid in the final five (5) minutes of the reverse auction.  The anti-sniping effect will automatically extend the reverse auction bid time in the event a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes of the reverse auction and can auto extend the reverse auction multiple times until the bidding on the reverse auction ends.
 
By order of the Clay County Board of Supervisors hereby witness my hand and official seal of office.
