Routine Dock Delivery: TCI will deliver items to the using entity’s receiving dock and in the absence of a receiving dock; the order will be placed inside the front door of the lowest floor. The receiving entity is responsible for all additional movement to storage or user location.

TCI will take action to cause the freight carrier to deliver, un-package and install the packaged furniture to this specified location. The using entity shall be responsible for the removal of any existing furniture and equipment from the area in which the contract items are to be installed. An additional charge may apply if no elevator is available.

SHIPPING & INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

Freight
A flat rate per item freight charge will apply to each item based on the type of product purchased and the Council of Government District in which the receiving entity is located.

Installation
A flat rate per item installation charge is available only for deliveries within the following Council of Government Districts 12,13,14,15,16 & 18. Installation of deliveries to Council of Government Districts outside of those listed above shall be by quote only and included in the Purchase Order using Clause #36.
