3. Contractor shall pay State an administrative fee against all Contract sales to Co-Op
Buyers,as provided for under A.R.S.§41-2633.The fee rate is one(1%)percent.Failure

rejection will be void.
6. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Co-Op Buyers in conformance with each
buyer's Instructions given at the time of ordering or in any supplemental participating

obligation on State's part,since they are entirely between the Co-Op Buyer and
Contractor.That notwithstanding,Contractor's obligation under the Contract Is to
service Co-Op Buyers commerdally as though they were with an Eligible Agency,and
Contractor's refusal to do so would be a material breach of the Contract.

whatever form the Co-Op Buyer normally uses.Regardless of origin,Orders must cite the State
contract number to be valid.State may,at its discretion in each Instance,determine the scope,
schedule,and price for each Order in any of the following ways:
1. By choosing some or all of the Materials or Services items covered by the Contract for
which a price is established In the Priclne Document then preparing an Order using
those prices(e.g.,filling out an order form),and sending It to Contractor.
2. By instructing Contractor to provide a comprehensive proposal of Item quantities,
combinations,etc.,or services hours,personnel,etc.,for a defined scope using those
established prices as a basis,then validating and negotiating the proposal with

vendors who are contracted within the applicable scope categories and locations,either
sequentially or concurrently,then selecting the proposal or proposals combination that
Is most advantageous to State.
4. As described in(3)above but introducing ad-hoc commercial competition by making the
selection and ordering conditional on obtaining more favorable prices than the
contractually-established ones.

example,a quoted number of hours times the contracted or improved rate plus a fixed amount
for incidentals),by experience and qualifications(for example,having an office nearer the
required work location),or whatever combination thereof it determines is most appropriate to
the work in question.

Contractors for additional or related work.In such cases,Contractor shall cooperate fully with State's

install,or perform at that particular location,then R shall do so nonetheless and
without entitlement to any additional compensation or additional time for performance
if those particular requirements are not expressly stated in the Contract.Contractor is

weapons on State's property by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible is a
material breach of contract and grounds for termination for default.

Question 6: Quality Control—Address each of the following items.
a. How do you maintain communication With your Customers?
b. Whet is your process for responding to Customer concerns?
c. Other methods used to ensure the quality of your services.
Offeror Response:
Question sa, Faceellence in customer service is one of our guiding principles/values.We develop lasting
positive relationships with our customers who feel comfortable contacting us to request services or to let us
brow how we can improve In the lifecycle of a request there is a flurry of communication at the beginning as a
service is being arranged for.On the run up to an event,there are periodic customer contacts to double check
on enrollment and classroom readiness. After an event or modules of an event,we follow up with the summary
evaluation(usually within g business days unless we've detected a problem in which case we are in touch
immediately).If all has gone well,we might not contact a customer again until they reach out for additional
services.
Question sin As mentioned above,a good relationship with our customers is critical. If there are customer
concerns,it is our job to fix the problem and make it right—fast. As soon as we are alerted to an issue we act.
We pride ourselves on resolving issues to the customer's satisfaction.It is through loyal customers we stay in
business.
Question se:AGT3 uses a robust Kirkpatrick first-level evaluation to determine participant satisfaction with a
particular training event and to solicit feedback on how the event could be improved. These evaluations have
been very helpful in identifying areas for improvement.In addition,our faculty members stay current in their
fields of expertise and regularly update their programming to meet new practices and standards.
Question 6: Value-Added Services.
a. What makes the services you are proposing unique/different from other similar services available?
Offeror Response:
Question bar We believe the standards required of us for accreditation by IACET(discussed elsewhere in this
response)and our having evolved into a"one-stop-shop' for a variety of professional development topics
important to the government sector have made us a unique provider/vendor.
