NEGOTIATION PROCEDURES A. At least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of this Agreement, the parties will begin negotiations for a new Agreement covering wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment of employees covered by this Agreement.
B. In any negotiations described in this article, neither party shall have control over the selection of the negotiating representatives of the other party and each party may select its representatives from within or outside the school district. It is recognized that no final Agreement between the parties may be executed without ratification by the Board and the Association. The parties mutually pledge that representatives selected by each shall be clothed with necessary power and authority to make proposals and concessions in the course of negotiations, subject only to such ultimate ratification.
C. If the parties fail to reach an agreement in any such negotiations, either party may invoke the procedures established under Public Act 379 as amended.
D. Members of the Association’s negotiating team and/or consultants thereto, who are employees of the Employer, shall be released from their normal duties without loss of salary when meetings of the two negotiating teams are scheduled during their normal working hours.
E. The parties hereby agree that their Teams shall meet at least quarterly during the school year to attempt to resolve problems. The topics for these meetings shall be established by the group at the previous quarter’s meeting whenever possible. Topics will remain on the agendas until resolved or until deleted by mutual agreement.
F. Prior to the establishment of any new position in the bargaining unit, the Employer shall notify the Association of such a contemplated action, and meet with the Association to negotiate workload for the position. This provision does not preclude the Employer’s ability to create and post positions. If the timing of the decision to establish the position precludes such a meeting, the Employer shall meet with the Association as soon as possible. The parties may agree that the position should be allowed to operate without a defined workload for some defined period of time to determine what a reasonable workload might be.
G. By mutual consent of both parties any section of this agreement may be reopened.
Preliminary Examination 24.1 The Purchaser will examine the bids to determine whether they are complete, whether any computational errors have been made, whether required sureties have been furnished, whether the documents have been properly signed, and whether the bids are generally in order. 24.2 Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis. If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail, and the total price shall be corrected. If the Supplier does not accept the correction of the errors, its bid will be rejected, and its bid security may be forfeited. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail. 24.3 The Purchaser may waive any minor informality, nonconformity, or irregularity in a bid which does not constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the relative ranking of any Bidder. 24.4 Prior to the detailed evaluation, pursuant to ITB Clause 25 the Purchaser will determine the substantial responsiveness of each bid to the bidding documents. For purposes of these Clauses, a substantially responsive bid is one which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding documents without material deviations. Deviations from, or objections or reservations to critical provisions, such as those concerning Bid Security (ITB Clause 15), Applicable Law (GCC Clause 30), and Taxes and Duties (GCC Clause 32), will be deemed to be a material deviation. The Purchaser’s determination of a bid’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the bid itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.

Preliminary Title Report (a) Not later than four (4) business days after the date of this Agreement, Seller, with Buyer's assistance and cooperation as necessary, shall arrange for the Title Company to prepare and deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report (the "Title Report") covering the Real Property dated not earlier than the date of this Agreement, such report showing all matters of record and all items which would be shown as exceptions on a ALTA owner's policy of title insurance, together with a recent ALTA survey of the Real Property certified by a licensed land surveyor and a legible copy of each recorded document underlying any exceptions shown in the Title Report. Subject only to the following permitted exceptions (the "Permitted Exceptions"), Seller shall cause all exceptions to title to the Real Property set forth in such Title Report to be removed prior to the Closing: (1) the standard printed exceptions contained in the Title Company's form of Owner's Policy; (2) building restrictions and zoning regulations heretofore or hereafter adopted by any municipal or other public authority relating to the Property; (3) current property taxes not yet delinquent; (4) the exceptions approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 5.13(b); and (5) any exception to which Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, specifically and expressly consents in writing prior to the Closing. Buyer shall pay all fees and costs associated with obtaining the Title Report.
(b) Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the fifth (5th) calendar day following Buyer's receipt of the Title Report to disapprove, in Buyer's sole discretion, any matters set forth in the Title Report; provided, however, that Buyer may not disapprove of the exceptions described in items (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.13(a). If Buyer timely disapproves of any matters set forth in the Title Report, other than with respect to the exceptions described in items (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.13(a), Seller shall have three (3) business days to indicate in writing whether Seller will cause such disapproved matters to be removed as exceptions to title prior to or concurrently with the Closing. Seller's failure to timely respond shall be deemed to constitute Seller's irrevocable agreement to remove all such disapproved matters as exceptions to title. If Seller timely indicates that it is unwilling to remove any such disapproved matters as exceptions to title, Buyer may elect to (i) proceed with the transaction contemplated hereby and take title subject to such disapproved matters, or (ii) terminate this Agreement. Buyer's failure to make such election within three (3) business days after being informed of Seller's decision shall be deemed an election of option (i). If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.13(b), the Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations to one another except for any obligations that, by their terms, survive the termination of this Agreement.
