Delivery must be FOB Destination to Morris, MN, with the contractor responsible for all associated costs and ensuring the product's good condition upon arrival. The contractor must contact Michael Budd three days prior to delivery to arrange a specific time, as the government will not provide labor or equipment for unloading.
