will not be considered,
i All the articles of stationery must be of the very
\ best quality?samples ot the principal articles of
which, such as paper, quills, metallic pens, lead
pencils, knives, ink, &c., must accompany the bids,
put up in classes as per schedule ; and the Department
reserves the right to retain such sumples, and
pay for the same at the prices stated in the offer, or
to return them, at its option. No bid will be considered
where the articles accompanying it are not
of the kind and quality required for the Department.
Each proposal must be signed by the individual
or firm making it, and must specify a price, and but
one price, for each and every article contained in the
schedule. Should any articles be required not enumerated
, they are to be furnished at tne lowest market
prices, according to quality. Blank forms for
( proposals will be furnished at the Department to
persons applying for them; and as without uniformity
therein tne Department would find it difficult
to make a decision, none will be token into consideration
unless substantially agreeing therewith.
The printing must be executed with new and perfect
type, and on the best paper used for the different
descriptions required. The paper for the printing
will be furnished by the contractor; the Department,
or the office ordering it, to designate the kind
of paper and type, whether script or otherwise, and
the number to go on a sheet, when the matter or
article will admit of more than one.
Each class will be considered separately, and, all
other things being equal, it will be assigned to the
lowest bidder. Where more than one class is assigned
to a bidder, they may all be embraced in one
contract; and each bidder who may have one or
more classes assigned to him, shall take all such
classes, or forfeit his right to any portion ol the con?
tract.
All the articles to be furnished and work to be
executed must be of the best quality, and delivered
without delay when ordered, and to the satisfaction
* of the head of the office for which they are required.
The Department reserves to itself the right of ordering
a greater or less quantity of each and every
article contracted for, a* the public service may require.
Bonds, with approved security, to be given by
the person or persons contracting; and in case of a
failure to supply the arUcles or to perform the work,
the contractor and his sureties shall be liable for the
forfeiture specified in such bond, as liquidated damages.
The subjoined lists specify, as nearly as now can
be done, the amount, quality, and description of
each of the kinds of articles and work that will be
wantedbeing
impracticable to give a precise description
of the nature and quality of tne various
kinds of printing, bidders are referred to the samples
in the different offices for specimens of the general
descriptions required.
