B. The Town is permitted, pursuant to Section 3-3-27 of the Town Code, to make
purchases under the State Contract, at its discretion and with the agreement of the awarded
Contractor, and the State Contract permits its cooperative use by other public entities, including
the Town.
C. The Town and the Contractor desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of
(i) acknowledging their cooperative contractual relationship under the State Contract and this
Agreement, (ii) establishing the terms and conditions by which the Contractor may provide the
Town with HVAC Maintenance, Repair, and Emergency Services (the “Materials and Services”),
and (iii) setting the maximum aggregate amount to be expended pursuant to this Agreement related
to the Materials and Services.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing introduction and recitals, which
are incorporated herein by reference, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Town and the Contractor hereby agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set forth
above and shall remain in full force and effect until May 20, 2022 (the “Initial Term”), unless
terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the State Contract (“Exhibit A”). After the
expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement may be renewed for up to four successive one-year

2
availability and appropriation of funds for renewal in each subsequent year, (ii) the term of the
State Contract has not expired or has been extended, (iii) at least 30 days prior to the end of the

(including any price adjustments approved as part of the State Contract), as evidenced by the Town
Manager’s signature thereon, which approval may be withheld by the Town for any reason. The
Contractor’s failure to seek a renewal of this Agreement shall cause this Agreement to terminate
at the end of the then-current term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Town may, at
its discretion and with the agreement of the Contractor, elect to waive this requirement and renew
this Agreement. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are collectively referred to herein as
the “Term.” Upon renewal, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.
2. Scope of Work. This is an indefinite quantity and indefinite delivery Agreement for
Materials and Services under the terms and conditions of the State Contract (“Exhibit A”). The
Town does not guarantee that any minimum or maximum number of purchases will be made
pursuant to this Agreement. Purchases will only be made when the Town identifies a need and
proper authorization and documentation have been approved. For purchase(s) determined by the
Town to be appropriate for this Agreement, the Contractor shall provide the Materials and Services
to the Town in such quantities and configurations agreed upon between the parties, in a written
invoice, quote, work order or other form of written agreement describing the work to be completed
(each, a “Work Order”). Each Work Order approved and accepted by the parties pursuant to this
Agreement shall (i) contain a reference to this Agreement and the State Contract and (ii) be
attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference. Work Orders submitted without
referencing this Agreement and the State Contract will be subject to rejection.
2.1 Inspection; Acceptance. All Materials and Services are subject to final
inspection and acceptance by the Town. Materials failing to conform to the requirements of this
Agreement and/or the State Contract will be held at Contractor’s risk and may be returned to the

non-conforming Materials or Services, the Town may elect to do any or all of the following by
written notice to the Contractor: (i) waive the non-conformance; (ii) stop the work immediately; or
(iii) bring the Materials or Services into compliance and withhold the cost of same from any
payments due to the Contractor.
2.2 Cancellation. The Town reserves the right to cancel Work Orders within a
reasonable period of time after issuance. Should a Work Order be canceled, the Town agrees to
reimburse the Contractor, but only for actual and documentable costs incurred by the Contractor
due to and after issuance of the Work Order. The Town will not reimburse the Contractor for any
costs incurred after receipt of Town notice of cancellation, or for lost profits, shipment of product
prior to issuance of Work Order or for anything not expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement.
3. Compensation. The Town shall pay Contractor for the Term amount not to exceed
$30,900 for the Materials and Services at the rates that shall be agreed upon by the parties. The
aggregate amount per renewal term shall not exceed $50,000 in any case unless the Agreement is
affirmed and ratified via an executed amendment. All remaining terms and conditions of the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
3
4. Payments. The Town shall pay the Contractor monthly (and the Contractor shall
invoice monthly), based upon acceptance and delivery of Materials and/or Services performed and
completed to date, and upon submission and approval of invoices. Each invoice shall (i) contain a
reference to this Agreement and the State Contract and (ii) document and itemize all work
completed to date. The invoice statement shall include a record of materials delivered, time
expended, and work performed in sufficient detail to justify payment. Additionally, invoices
submitted without referencing this Agreement and the State Contract will be subject to rejection
and may be returned.
5. Records and Audit Rights. To ensure that the Contractor and its subcontractors are
complying with the warranty under Section 6 below, Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ books,
records, correspondence, accounting procedures and practices, and any other supporting evidence
relating to this Agreement, including the papers of any Contractor and its subcontractors’
employees who perform any work or services pursuant to this Agreement (all of the foregoing
hereinafter referred to as “Records”), shall be open to inspection and subject to audit and/or
reproduction during normal working hours by the Town, to the extent necessary to adequately
permit evaluation of the Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with the Arizona
employer sanctions laws referenced in Section 6 below. To the extent necessary for the Town to
audit Records as set forth in this Section, Contractor and its subcontractors hereby waive any rights
to keep such Records confidential. For the purpose of evaluating or verifying such actual or
claimed costs or units expended, the Town shall have access to said Records, even if located at its
subcontractors’ facilities, from the effective date of this Agreement for the duration of the work
and until three years after the date of final payment by the Town to Contractor pursuant to this
Agreement. Contractor and its subcontractors shall provide the Town with adequate and
appropriate workspace so that the Town can conduct audits in compliance with the provisions of
this Section. The Town shall give Contractor or its subcontractors reasonable advance notice of
intended audits. Contractor shall require its subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this
Section by insertion of the requirements hereof in any subcontract pursuant to this Agreement.
6. E-verify Requirements. To the extent applicable under ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 41-
4401, the Contractor and its subcontractors warrant compliance with all federal immigration laws
and regulations that relate to their employees and their compliance with the E-verify requirements
under ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 23-214(A). Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ failure to comply with
such warranty shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and may result in the
termination of this Agreement by the Town.
7. Israel. Contractor certifies that it is not currently engaged in and agrees for the
duration of this Agreement that it will not engage in a “boycott,” as that term is defined in ARIZ.
REV. STAT. § 35-393, of Israel.
8. Conflict of Interest. This Agreement may be canceled by the Town pursuant to
ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 38-511.
9. Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Arizona and a suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in Maricopa
County, Arizona.
4
10. Agreement Subject to Appropriation. The Town is obligated only to pay its
obligations set forth in this Agreement as may lawfully be made from funds appropriated and
budgeted for that purpose during the Town’s then current fiscal year. The Town’s obligations
under this Agreement are current expenses subject to the “budget law” and the unfettered
legislative discretion of the Town concerning budgeted purposes and appropriation of funds.
Should the Town elect not to appropriate and budget funds to pay its Agreement obligations, this
Agreement shall be deemed terminated at the end of the then-current fiscal year term for which
such funds were appropriated and budgeted for such purpose and the Town shall be relieved of
any subsequent obligation under this Agreement. The parties agree that the Town has no obligation
or duty of good faith to budget or appropriate the payment of the Town’s obligations set forth in
this Agreement in any budget in any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which this Agreement
is executed and delivered. The Town shall be the sole judge and authority in determining the
availability of funds for its obligations under this Agreement. The Town shall keep Contractor
informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement. The obligation of the Town to make
any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not a general obligation or indebtedness of the Town.
Contractor hereby waives any and all rights to bring any claim against the Town from or relating
in any way to the Town’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to this section.
11. Conflicting Terms. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict or ambiguity among
the terms of this Agreement, any Town -approved work orders, the State Contract, and invoices,
the documents shall govern in the order listed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in
conformity with Section 2 above, unauthorized exceptions, conditions, limitations or provisions in
conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the State Contract (collectively, the “Unauthorized
Conditions”), other than the Town’s project-specific requirements, are expressly declared void and
shall be of no force and effect. Acceptance by the Town of any work order or invoice containing
any such Unauthorized Conditions or failure to demand full compliance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement or under the State Contract shall not alter such terms and
conditions or relieve Contractor from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its requirements
and obligations in the performance of this Agreement.
12. Rights and Privileges. To the extent provided under the State Contract, the Town
shall be afforded all of the rights and privileges afforded to State and shall be the “State” (as defined
in the State Contract) for the purposes of the portions of the State Contract that are incorporated
herein by reference.
13. Indemnification; Insurance. In addition to and in no way limiting the provisions set
forth in Section 12 above, the Town shall be afforded all of the insurance coverage and
indemnifications afforded to the State to the extent provided under the State Contract, and such
insurance coverage and indemnifications shall inure and apply with equal effect to the Town under
this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Contractor’s obligation to provide the
indemnification and insurance. In any event, the Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Town and each council member, officer, employee or agent thereof (the Town and
any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to which any such Indemnified
Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever (“Claims”), insofar as such
Claims (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are caused by or based upon the
negligent acts, intentional misconduct, errors, mistakes or omissions, in connection with the work
5
or services of the Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, or any tier of subcontractor in the
performance of this Agreement.

or to another [S]ubcontractor as a part of a contract with a state governmental unit . . .”The
Contract is to be construed as “a contract with a state governmental unit” for purposes of the
definition. For clarity of intent, a Person carrying out any element of the Work is a Subcontractor
from the moment they first carry out that element of the Work regardless of whether or not a
Subcontract exists then or subsequently.
1.20 Work “Work” means the totality of the Materials and the Services and all the acts of administration,
creation, production, and performance necessary to fulfill and incidental to fulfilling all of
Contractor's obligations and duties under the Contract in conformance with the Contract and
applicable laws.

2.0 Contract Interpretation
2.1 Usage Where the Contract:
1. assigns obligations to Contractor, any reference to “Contractor” is to be construed to be a
reference to “Contractor and all Subcontractors, whether they are first-tier subcontractors,
sub-subcontractors, suppliers, sub-suppliers, consultants, or sub-consultants, as well as all
of Contractor’s and the Subcontractors’ respective agents, representatives, and
employees” in every instance unless the context plainly requires that it is be a reference
only to Contractor as apart from Subcontractors;
2. uses the permissive “may” with respect to a party’s actions, determinations, etc., the term
is to be interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(31) [Definitions]. For clarity of intent, any right
given to State using “State may” or a like construction denotes discretion and freedom to
act so far as any regulatory or operative constraints permit in the relevant circumstances,
provided that: (a) where written “may, at its discretion,” the discretion extends to
whatever is most advantageous to State; and (b) where written only as “may,” the
discretion is constrained by what is fair, reasonable, and as accommodating of the
respective best interests of both parties as practicable under the circumstances;
3. uses the imperative “shall” with respect to a party’s actions, duties, etc., the term is to be
interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(43) [Definitions]. Conversely, the phrase “shall not” is to
be interpreted as an imperative prohibition.
4. uses the term “must” with respect to a requirement, criterion, etc., the term is to be
interpreted as conveying compulsion or strict necessity, and is to be read as though written
“must, if [the subject] is to be entitled to have [the object] considered or credited as being
compliant with, conforming to, or satisfying [the requirement, criterion, constraint, etc.],
otherwise, [the object] will be considered or debited as being non-compliant, non-
conforming, or unsatisfactory for its Contract-related purposes” in every instance;
5. uses the term “might” with respect to an event, outcome, action, etc., the term is to be
interpreted as conveying contingency or non-discretionary conditionality; and
6. uses the term “will” or the phrases “is to be” or “are to be” with respect to an event,
outcome, action, etc., the term or phrase is to be interpreted as conveying such certainty
or imperativeness that “shall” is either unnecessary or irrelevant in that instance.
2.2 Contract Order of
Precedence
COMPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTS. All of the documents forming the Contract are complementary. If
certain work, requirements, obligations, or duties are set out only in one but not in another,
Contractor shall carry out the Work as though the relevant work, requirements, obligations, or
duties had been fully described in all, consistent with the other documents forming the Contract
and as is reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce complete results.
CONFLICTS. In case of any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity among the documents forming the
Contract and their provisions, they are to prevail in the following order, descending from most
dominate to most subordinate, provided that, among categories of documents or provisions
having the same rank, the document or provision with the latest date prevails. Information being
identified in one document but not in another is not to be considered a conflict or inconsistency.
(a) Contract Amendments;
(b) the final Solicitation Documents, in the order:
(1) Special Terms and Conditions;
(2) Exhibits to the Special Terms and Conditions;
(3) Uniform Terms and Conditions;
(4) Scope of Work;

(7) Exhibits to the Pricing Document;

ATTACHMENTS AND EXHIBITS. For clarity of intent, if an item was an Attachment in the Solicitation
Documents or an Offer (either Initial, Revised, Best and Final, or Accepted) and was subsequently
made into an Exhibit, or its content was incorporated into one of the other Contract documents,
then that Attachment no longer exists contractually as an “Attachment” since it has at that point
been made into some other Contract document. In every other case, an Attachment and the
Offeror data therein remain part of the Accepted Offer for purposes of precedence and
contractual effect.
2.3 Independent
Contractor
Contractor is an independent contractor and shall act in an independent capacity in performance
under the Contract. Neither party is or is to be construed as being to be the employee or agent of
the other party, and no action, inaction, event, or circumstance will be grounds for deeming it to
be so.
2.4 Complete
Integration
The Contract, including any documents incorporated into the Contract by reference, is intended by
the parties as a final and complete expression of their agreement. There are no prior,
contemporaneous, or additional agreements, either oral or in writing, pertaining to the Contract.
3.0 Contract Administration and Operation

twelve (12) months unless cancelled, terminated, or permissibly extended.
3.2 Contract

Correspondence
3.3.1 TO CONTRACTOR. State shall:
(a) address all Contract correspondence other than formal notices to the email address

3.3.3 CHANGES. State may change the designated Procurement Officer, update contact
information, or change the applicable mailing address by Contract Amendment.
3.4 Signing of Contract
Amendments
Contractor’s counter-signature – or “approval” in The State’s e-Procurement System, in the case of
an amendment – is not required to give effect if the Contract Amendment only covers either:
1. extension of the term of the Contract within the maximum aggregate term;

2. revision to Procurement Officer appointment or contact information; or
3. modifications of a clerical nature that have no effect on terms, conditions, price, scope, or
other material aspect of the Contract.
In every case other than those listed in (1), (2), and (3) above, both parties’ signature – or
“approval” in The State’s e-Procurement System, in the case of an Amendment – are required to
give it effect.
3.5 Click-Through Terms
and Conditions
If either party uses a web based ordering system, an electronic purchase order system, an
electronic order acknowledgement, a form of an electronic acceptance, or any software based
ordering system with respect to the Contract (each an “Electronic Ordering System”), the parties
acknowledge and agree that an Electronic Ordering System is for ease of administration only, and
Contractor is hereby given notice that the persons using Electronic Ordering Systems on behalf of
State do not have any actual or apparent authority to create legally binding obligations that vary
from the terms and conditions of the Contract. Accordingly, where an authorized State user is
required to “click through” or otherwise accept or be made subject to any terms and conditions in
using an Electronic Ordering Systems, any such terms and conditions are deemed void upon
presentation. Additionally, where an authorized State user is required to accept or be made
subject to any terms and conditions in accessing or employing any Materials or Services, those
terms and conditions will also be void.
3.6 Books and
Records
3.6.1 RETAIN RECORDS. By A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually
require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating for any cost and pricing
data submitted in satisfaction of § 41-2543 for the period specified in the statute.
3.6.2 RIGHT TO AUDIT. The retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that
period. By A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each
Subcontractor to retain books and records relating to performance under the Contract for
the period specified in the statute and those retained books and records are subject to
audit by State during that period.
3.6.3 AUDITING. Contractor or Subcontractor shall either make all such books and records
under subparagraphs 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 available to State at all reasonable times or produce
the records at a designated State office on State’s demand, the choice of which being at
State’s discretion. For the purpose of this paragraph, “reasonable times” are during
normal business hours and in such a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with
normal business activities.
3.7 Contractor Licenses Contractor shall maintain current all federal, state and local licenses and permits required for the
operation of its business in general, for its operations under the Contract, and for the Work itself.
3.8 Inspection
and Testing
By A.R.S. § 41-2547, State may at reasonable times inspect the part of Contractor’s or
Subcontractors’ plant or places of business related to performance under the Contract.
Accordingly, Contractor agrees to permit (for itself) and ensure (for Subcontractors) access for
inspection at any reasonable time to its facilities, processes, and services. State may inspect or
test, at its own cost, any finished goods, work-in-progress, components, or unfinished materials
that are be supplied under the Contract or that will be incorporated into something to be supplied
under the Contract. If the inspection or testing shows non-conformance or defects, then
Contractor will owe State reimbursement or payment of all costs it incurred in carrying out or
contracting for the inspection and testing, as well as for any re-inspection or re-testing that might
be necessary. Neither inspection of facilities nor testing of goods, work, components, or unfinished
materials will of itself constitute acceptance by State of those things.
3.9 Ownership of
Intellectual
Property
3.9.1 RIGHTS IN WORK PRODUCT. All intellectual property originated or prepared by Contractor
pursuant to the Contract, including but not limited to, inventions, discoveries, intellectual
copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, technical communications, records
reports, computer programs and other documentation or improvements thereto,
including Contractor’s administrative communications and records relating to the
Contract, are considered work product and Contractor’s property, provided that, State
has Government Purpose Rights to that work product as and when it was delivered to

State.
(a) “Government Purpose Rights” are:
i. the unlimited, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, non-exclusive, worldwide
right to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, sublicense, disclose
and create derivatives from that work product without restriction for any
activity in which State is a party;
ii. the right to release or disclose that work product to third parties for any State
government purpose; and
iii. the right to authorize those to whom it rightfully releases or discloses that
work product to use, modify, release, create derivative works from the work
product for any State government purpose; such recipients being understood
to include the federal government, the governments of other states, and
various local governments.
(b) “Government Purpose Rights” do not include any right to use, modify, reproduce,
perform, release, display, create derivative works from, or disclose that work
product for any commercial purpose or to authorize others to do so.
3.9.2 JOINT DEVELOPMENTS. The parties may each use equally any ideas, concepts, know-how,
or techniques developed jointly during the course of the Contract, and may do so at their
respective discretion, without obligation of notice or accounting to the other party.
3.9.3 PRE-EXISTING MATERIAL. All pre-existing software and other materials developed or
otherwise obtained by or for Contractor or its affiliates independently of the Contract or
applicable Purchase Orders are not part of the work product to which rights are granted
State under subparagraph 3.9.1 above, and will remain the exclusive property of
Contractor, provided that:
(a) any derivative works of such pre-existing material or elements thereof that are
created pursuant to the Contract are part of that work product;
(b) any elements of derivative work of such pre-existing material that was not created
pursuant to the Contract are not part of that work product; and
(c) except as expressly stated otherwise, nothing in the Contract is to be construed to
interfere or diminish Contractor’s or its affiliates’ ownership of such pre-existing
materials.
3.9.4 DEVELOPMENTS OUTSIDE OF CONTRACT. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the
Contract does not preclude Contractor from developing competing materials outside the
Contract, irrespective of any similarity to materials delivered or to be delivered to State
hereunder.
3.10 Subcontracts 3.10.1 INITIAL LIST. At the time of Contract execution, Contractor’s candidate Subcontractors
were identified in Attachment 3-C to the Accepted Offer [Proposed Subcontractors].
Agreeing to them being included in the Accepted Offer signified Procurement Officer’s
advance consent for Contractor to enter into a Subcontract with each candidate, which
Contractor shall do as promptly as necessary to ensure its ability to carry out the Work in
a timely manner.
3.10.2 ADDITIONAL NAMES. Contractor shall not enter into a Subcontract without first obtaining
Procurement Officer’s written consent with any prospective Subcontractor that (a) was
not listed on Attachment 3-C at time of Contract execution or (b) is for any Materials or
Services categories other than the ones for which they were previously consented. For
either case (a) or (b), Contractor shall submit a written request sufficiently in advance of
the need date for those materials or services so that performance under the Contract is
not impaired. Procurement Officer may request any additional information he or she
determines is necessary to assess the submittal, and may withhold consent pending it.
3.10.3 FLOW-DOWN. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions, terms, and conditions of the
Contract into every Subcontract by inclusion or by reference, as appropriate. When
making any post-execution consent requests, Contractor shall include its warrant that it

will do the same for the pending Subcontracts covered by the request. Entering into
Subcontracts will not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or duties under the
Contract, including, among other things, the duty to supervise and coordinate the work of
Subcontractors. Nothing contained in any Subcontract will create or is to be construed as
creating any contractual relationship between State and the Subcontractor.
3.11 Offshore
Performance of Certain
Work Prohibited
Contractor shall only perform those portions of the Services that directly serve State or its clients
and involve access to secure or sensitive data or personal client data within the defined territories
of the United States. Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Scope of Work, this paragraph
does not apply to indirect or overhead services, redundant back-up services, or services that are
incidental to performance under the Contract. This provision applies to work performed by
Subcontractors at all tiers.
3.12 Orders 3.12.1 ORDER SUFFICIENCY. The Contract was awarded in accordance with the Arizona
Procurement Code; the transactions and procedures required by the code for competitive
source selection have been met. An Order issued that cites the correct State contract
number will suffice to authorize Contractor to provide the Materials and perform the
Services covered by that Order.
3.12.2 ORDER TERMS. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms and Conditions; an Order
cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions.
3.12.3 ORDERS ARE OBLIGATORY. Until the expiration or earlier termination of the Contract,
State may issue and Contractor shall accept Orders that make proper reference to the
Contract and are permissible hereunder, provided that, Contractor is not obliged to
accept any Order that is not consistent with the then-current pricing, lead times,
specifications, or payment provisions of the Contract. Contractor shall fulfill and complete
any Orders that are begun but not yet completed as of expiration or earlier termination of
the Contract unless State instructs otherwise at the time.
3.12.4 SPECIAL CASE. In the special case where both the following conditions are true,
Procurement Officer’s signature on the Acceptance is Contractor’s authorization to
perform and therefore no Order is required: (a) the Contract is identified as being a
“single-agency/single-project” contract and (b) the Contract was created in The State’s e-
Procurement System as something other than a “Master/ Blanket” type.
3.12.5 NO MINIMUMS OR COMMITMENTS. (a) Contractor shall not impose any minimum dollar
amount, item count, services volume, or services duration on Orders; (b) State makes no
commitment of any kind concerning the quantity or monetary value of activity actually
initiated or completed during the term of the Contract; (c) Contractor shall only deliver or
perform as authorized by Orders; and (d) State is not limited as to the number of Orders it
may issue for the Contract. For clarity of intent, the foregoing applies equally whether an
Eligible Agency issues the Order or, if applicable, a Co-Op Buyer issues it.
3.12.6 NON-CONTRACTED MATERIALS OR SERVICES. Any attempt to knowingly represent for
sales, marketing, or related purposes that goods or services not specifically awarded are
under a State contract is a violation of the Contract and law.
3.13 Provisions for
Statewide Contracts:
- Co-Op Usage
- Eligible Agencies
- Quarterly Reporting
The Contract is a “statewide” contract for multiple purchases, projects, or assignments, and can be
purchased against by some or all Eligible Agencies and any Co-Op Buyers that elect to participate.
Even if only one Eligible Agency needs or elects to purchase against the Contract, it is to be
construed as being a “statewide” contract hereunder.
The Contract is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) type of contract; it is to be
construed as a “delivery order” sub-type of ID/IQ contract to the extent the Work is Materials, and
a “task order” sub-type to the extent the Work is Services.
Co-Op Usage
1. Contractor shall verify if an ordering entity is a bona fide Co-Op Buyer before selling Materials
to or providing Services for them under the Contract. The current list of Co-Op Buyers is
available on the State Procurement Office website:

SECTION 2-C: Special Terms and Conditions
Page 23 of 49 2
Available online at: APP.AZ.gov
2. Contractor shall sell to Co-Op Buyers at the same price and on the same lead times and other
terms and conditions under which it sells to Eligible Agencies, with the sole exception of any
legitimately additional costs for extraordinary shipping or delivery requirements if the Co-Op
Buyer is having Materials delivered or installed or Services performed at locations not
contemplated in the contracted pricing (e.g. delivery to a location outside Arizona).
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 to remit the
administrative fees is a material breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies
under Article 8 and its right to terminate for default under Article 9. Method of calculation,
payment procedures, and other details are provided on the State Procurement Office
website:
https://spo.az.gov/contractor-resources/statewide-contracts-administrative-fee
4. 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
agreement Contractor might have with them. Orders from Co-Op Buyers create no 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
commercially as though they were with an Eligible Agency, and Contractor’s refusal to do so
would be a material breach of the Contract.
Eligible Agencies – Orders
Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within 1 (one) business day after
receipt by either:
(a) “Approving” the Order electronically in The State’s e-Procurement System, which
will indicate Contractor’s unqualified acceptance of the Order as-issued; or,
(b) “Rejecting” the Order electronically in The State’s e-Procurement System, with a
concurrent explanation by email to relevant originator as to the reason for
rejecting it. By way of reminder, the only grounds on which Contractor may
reject or refuse an Order are those set out in subparagraph 3.14.3 (Orders are
Obligatory).
Unless and until Contractor has approved the Order in the State’s e-Procurement System, it will
have no effect under the Contract and will not oblige either State or Contractor. If the relevant
Eligible Agency explicitly instructs at the time that a verbal acceptance is sufficient because of
urgency or other unusual circumstances and Contractor duly gives its verbal acceptance, then
Contractor will be deemed to have accepted the Order immediately upon commencing
performance, provided that, Contractor must follow-up its verbal acceptance by accepting the
Purchase Order electronically In The State’s e-Procurement System within three (3) business days.
Contractor shall thereafter be barred from subsequently rejecting the Order in The State’s e-
Procurement System and if it does so the rejection will be void.
Quarterly Usage Reports
Contractor shall submit to State a Quarterly Usage Report documenting all Contract sales to both
Eligible Agencies and Co-Op Buyers, itemized separately. A Quarterly Usage Report shall still be
submitted, even if there have been no sales to either Eligible Agencies and/or Co-Op Buyers.
Contractor shall further itemize divisions, groups or areas within a given Eligible Agency if they
place Orders independently of each other. Failure to submit the report is a material breach of
contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right to terminate for default
under Article 9. Contractor shall submit the report using the forms and following the instructions
on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/contractor-resources/statewide-contracts-administrative-fee
3.14 Multiple-Use
Provisions
Eligible Agencies may issue Orders for Services in several forms, all of which become final and
effective by a “Release Purchase Order” in The State’s e-Procurement System. Orders issued by
Co-Op Buyers will be in 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 Pricing 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 Contractor
and issuing an Order if and when reaching agreement.
3. As described in (2) above but requesting the proposal from both Contractor and other
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.
When evaluating the proposals under (3) and (4) above, State may select based on price (for
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.
3.15 Other
Contractors
State may undertake with its own forces or award other contracts to the same or other vendors
for additional or related work. In such cases, Contractor shall cooperate fully with State’s
employees and such other vendors and carefully coordinate, fit, connect, accommodate, adjust, or
sequence its work to the related work by others. Where the Contract requires handing-off
Contractor’s work to others, Contractor shall cooperate as State instructs regarding the necessary
transfer of its work product, services, or records to State or the other vendors. Contractor shall not
commit or permit any act that interferes with the State’s or other vendors’ performance of their
work, provided that, State shall enforce the foregoing section equitably among all its vendors so as
not impose an unreasonable burden on any one of them.
3.16 Work on State
Premises
3.16.1 COMPLIANCE WITH RULES. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its personnel
comply with State’s rules, regulations, policies, documented practices, and documented
operating procedures while delivering or installing Materials or performing Services on
State’s grounds or in its facilities. For clarity of intent, the foregoing means that if
Contractor is required to comply with certain security requirements in order to deliver,
install, or perform at that particular location, then it 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 reminded
that violation of the prohibition under A.R.S. § 13-1502 against possession of weapons on
State’s property by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible is a material breach of
contract and grounds for termination for default.
3.16.2 PROTECTION OF GROUNDS AND FACILITIES. Contractor shall deliver or install the
Materials and perform the Services without damaging any State grounds or facilities.
Contractor shall repair or replace any damage it does cause promptly and at its own
expense, subject to whatever instructions and restrictions State needs to make to prevent
inconvenience or disruption of operations. If Contractor fails to make the necessary
repairs or replacements and do so in a timely manner, State will be entitled to exercise its
remedies under paragraph 8.5 [Right of Offset].
4.0 Costs and Payments
4.1 Payments 4.1.1 PAYMENT DEADLINE. State shall make payments in compliance with Arizona Revised
Statues Titles 35 and 41. Unless and then only to the extent expressly stated otherwise in
the Pricing Document, State shall make payment in full for Materials that have been
delivered and accepted and Services that have been performed and accepted within the

time specified in A.R.S. § 35-342 after both of the following become true: (a) all of the
Materials being invoiced have been delivered or installed (as applicable) and accepted
and all of the Services being invoiced have been performed and accepted; and
(b) Contractor has provided a complete and accurate invoice in the form and manner
called for in the Pricing Document, provided that, State will not make or be liable for any
payments to Contractor until Contractor has registered properly in The State’s e-
Procurement System and provided a current IRS Form W-9 to State unless excused by law
from providing one.
4.1.2 PAYMENTS ONLY TO CONTRACTOR. Unless compelled otherwise by operation of law or
order of a court of competent jurisdiction, State will only make payment to Contractor
under the federal tax identifier indicated on the Accepted Offer.
4.2 Applicable
Taxes
4.2.1 CONTRACTOR TO PAY ALL TAXES. State is subject to Arizona TPT. Therefore, Arizona TPT
applies to all sales under the Contract and Arizona TPT is Contractor’s responsibility (as
seller) to remit. Contractor’s failure to collect Arizona TPT or any other applicable sales or
use taxes from an Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer (as buyer) will not relieve Contractor of
any obligation to remit sales or use taxes that are due under the Contract or laws. Unless
stated otherwise in the Pricing Document, all prices therein include Arizona TPT as well as
every other manner of transaction privilege or sales/use tax that is due to a municipality
or another state or its political subdivisions. Contractor shall pay all federal, state, and
local taxes applicable to its operations and personnel.
4.2.2 TAX INDEMNITY. Contractor shall hold State harmless from any responsibility for taxes or
contributions, including any applicable damages and interest, that are due to federal,
state, and local authorities with respect to the Work and the Contract, as well any related
costs; the foregoing expressly includes Arizona TPT, unemployment compensation
insurance, social security, and workers’ compensation insurance.
5.0 Contract Changes
5.1 Contract Amendments The Contract is issued for State under the authority of Procurement Officer. Only a Contract
Amendment can modify the Contract, and then only if it does not change the Contract’s general
scope. Purported changes to the Contract by a person not expressly authorized by Procurement
Officer or made unilaterally by Contractor will be void and without effect; Contractor will not be
entitled to any claim made under the Contract based on any such purported changes.
5.2 Assignment and
Delegation
5.2.1 IN WHOLE. Contractor shall not assign in whole its rights or delegate in whole its duties
under the Contract without Procurement Officer’s prior written consent, which consent
Procurement Officer may withhold at his or her discretion. If Contractor’s proposed
assignment or delegation stems from a split, sale, acquisition, or other non-merger
change in control, then no such consent will be given in any event without the assignee or
delegate giving State satisfactory and equivalent evidence or assurance of its financial
soundness, competency, capacity, and qualification to perform as that which Contractor
possessed when State first awarded it the Contract.
5.2.2 IN PART. Subject to paragraph 3.10 [Subcontracts] with respect to subcontracting,
Contractor may assign particular rights or delegate particular duties under the Contract,
but shall obtain Procurement Officer’s written consent before doing so. Procurement
Officer shall not unreasonably withhold consent so long as the proposed assignment or
delegation does not attempt to modify the Contract in any way or to alter or impair
State’s rights or remedies under the Contract or laws.
6.0 Risk and Liability

6.3 Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the
State of Arizona, and its departments, agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers,
officials, agents, and employees (hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitee”) from and against any
and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including court costs, attorneys’
fees, and costs of claim processing, investigation and litigation) (hereinafter referred to as
“Claims”) for bodily injury or personal injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangible or
intangible property caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the negligent or willful
acts or omissions of Contractor or any of its owners, officers, directors, agents, employees or
subcontractors. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of, or recovered under,
the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such Contractor to conform to any
federal, state, or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or court decree. It is the specific
intention of the parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely
from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be indemnified by Contractor
from and against any and all claims. It is agreed that Contractor will be responsible for primary loss
investigation, defense, and judgement costs where this indemnification is applicable. In
consideration of the award of this contract, the Contractor agrees to waive all rights of
subrogation against the State of, its officers, officials, agents, and employees for losses arising
from the work performed by the Contractor for the State of Arizona. This indemnification will
survive the termination of the above listed contract with the Contractor.
This indemnity shall not apply if the Contractor or sub-contractor(s) is/are an agency, board,
commission or university of the State of Arizona.
6.4 Patent and Copyright
Indemnification
CONTRACTOR/VENDOR (NOT PUBLIC AGENCY). With respect to Materials or Services provided or
proposed by a Contractor Indemnitor for performance under the Contract, Contractor shall

costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, for infringement or
violation of any patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret by the Materials and the Services.

any action on an indemnified claim including all negotiations for its settlement or
compromise;
3. State may elect to participate in such action at its own expense; and
4. State may approve or disapprove any settlement or compromise, provided that, (i) State
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such approval or disapproval and (ii) State shall
cooperate in the defense and in any related settlement negotiations.
If Contractor is a public agency, this paragraph 6.4 does not apply.
6.5 Force Majeure 6.5.1 DEFINITION. For this paragraph, “force majeure” means an occurrence that is (a) beyond
the control of the affected party, (b) occurred without the party’s fault or negligence, and
(c) something the party was unable to prevent by exercising reasonable diligence.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, force majeure expressly includes acts of
God, acts of the public enemy, war, riots, strikes, mobilization, labor disputes, civil
disorders, fire, flood, lockouts, injunctions-intervention-acts, failures or refusals to act by
government authorities, and, subject to paragraph 7.66 [Performance in Public Health
Emergency], declared public health emergencies. Force majeure expressly does not
include late delivery caused by congestion at a manufacturer’s plant or elsewhere, an
oversold condition of the market, late performance by a Subcontractor unless the delay
arises out of an occurrence of force majeure, or inability of either Contractor or any
Subcontractor to acquire or maintain any required insurance, bonds, licenses, or permits.
6.5.2 RELIEF FROM PERFORMANCE. Except for payment of sums due, the parties are not liable
to each other if an occurrence of force majeure prevents its performance under the
Contract. If either party is delayed at any time in the progress of their respective
performance under the Contract by an occurrence of force majeure, the delayed party
shall notify the other no later than the following working day after the occurrence, or as
soon as it could reasonably have been expected to recognize that the occurrence had
effect in cases where the effects were not readily apparent. In any event, the notice must
make specific reference to this paragraph specifying the causes of the delay in the notice
and, if the effects of the occurrence are on-going, provide an initial notification and
thereafter the delayed party shall provide regular updates until such time as the effects
are fully known. To the extent it is able, the delayed party shall cause the delay to cease
promptly and notify the other party when it has done so. The parties shall extend the
time of completion by Contract Amendment for a period equal to the time that the
results or effects of the delay prevented the delayed party from performing.
6.5.3 EXCUSABLE DELAY IS NOT DEFAULT. Failure in performance by either party will not
constitute default hereunder or give rise to any claim for damages or loss of anticipated
profits if and to the extent that such failure was or is being caused by an occurrence of
force majeure.
6.5.4 DEFAULT DIMINISHES RELIEF. Entitlement to relief from the effects of an occurrence of
force majeure is diminished to the extent that the delay did or will result from the
affected party’s default unrelated to the occurrence, in which case and to that extent the
other party’s normal remedies and the affected party’s obligations would apply
undiminished.
6.6 Third Party
Antitrust
Violations
Contractor assigns to State any claim for overcharges resulting from antitrust violations to the
extent that those violations concern materials or services supplied by third parties to Contractor
toward fulfillment of the Contract.
7.0 Warranties
7.1 Conformity to
Requirements
Contractor warrants that, unless expressly provided otherwise elsewhere in the Contract, the
Materials and Services will for 1 (one) year after acceptance and in each instance: (1) conform to
the requirements of the Contract, which by way of reminder include without limitation all
descriptions, specifications, and drawings identified in the Scope of Work and any Contractor
affirmations included as part of the Contract; (2) be free from defects of material and
workmanship; (3) conform to or perform in a manner consistent with current industry standards;

and (4) be fit for the intended purpose or use described in the Contract. Mere delivery or
performance does not substitute for express acceptance by State. Where inspection, testing, or
other acceptance assessment of Materials or Services cannot be done until after installation, the
forgoing warranty will not begin until State’s acceptance.
7.2 Contractor
Personnel
Contractor warrants that its personnel will perform their duties under the Contract in a
professional manner, applying the requisite skills and knowledge, consistent with industry
standards, and in accordance with the requirements of the Contract. Contractor further warrants
that its key personnel will maintain any certifications relevant to their work, and Contractor shall
provide individual evidence of certification to State’s authorized representatives upon request.
7.3 Intellectual
Property
Contractor warrants that the Materials and Services do not and will not infringe or violate any
patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights or laws, except
only to the extent the Specifications do not permit use of any other product and Contractor is not
and cannot reasonably be expected to be aware of the infringement or violation.
7.4 Licenses and Permits Contractor warrants that it will maintain all licenses required under paragraph 3.7 [Contractor
Licenses] and all required permits valid and in force.
7.5 Operational Continuity Contractor warrants that it will perform without relief notwithstanding being sold or acquired; no
such event will operate to mitigate or alter any of Contractor’s duties hereunder absent a
consented delegation under paragraph 5.3 [Assignment and Delegation] that expressly recognizes
the event.
7.6 Performance in Public
Health Emergency
Contractor warrants that it will:
1. have in effect promptly after commencement a plan for continuing performance in the
event of a declared public health emergency that addresses, at a minimum: (a)
identification of response personnel by name; (b) key succession and performance
responses in the event of sudden and significant decrease in workforce; and
(c) alternative avenues to keep sufficient product on hand or in the supply chain; and
2. provide a copy of its current plan to State within 3 (three) business days after State’s
written request. If Contractor claims relief under paragraph 6.5 [Force Majeure] for an
occurrence of force majeure that is a declared public health emergency, then that relief
will be conditioned on Contractor having first implemented its plan and exhausted all
reasonable opportunity for that plan implementation to overcome the effects of that
occurrence, or mitigate those effects to the extent that overcoming entirely is not
practicable.
For clarification of intent, being obliged to implement the plan is not of itself an occurrence of
force majeure, and Contractor will not be entitled to any additional compensation or extension of
time by virtue of having to implement it. Furthermore, failure to have or implement an
appropriate plan will be a material breach of contract.
7.7 Lobbying 7.7.1 PROHIBITION.
(a) Contractor warrants that:
i. it will not engage in lobbying activities, as defined in 40 CFR part 34 and A.R.S.
§ 41-1231, et seq., using monies awarded under the Contract, provided that,
the foregoing does not intend to constrain Contractor's use of its own monies
or property, including without limitation any net proceeds duly realized under
the Contract or any value thereafter derived from those proceeds; and
ii. upon award of the Contract, it will disclose all lobbying activities to State to the
extent they are an actual or potential conflict of interest or where such
activities could create an appearance of impropriety.
(b) Contractor shall implement and maintain adequate controls to assure compliance
with (a) above.
(c) Contractor shall obtain an equivalent warranty from all Subcontractors and shall
include an equivalent no-lobbying provision in all Subcontracts.
7.7.2 EXCEPTION. This paragraph does not apply to the extent that the Services are defined in

endeavors to prevent such orders from occurring, Contractor is responsible for not accepting any
such Orders, State may, at its discretion, return any such items under subparagraph 11.17 or
cancel any such Order under subparagraph 11.18, n either case being without obligation and at

Contract; regardless of who makes the request, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a fair price
for any additional products, but State may elect not to add some or all of the products in question
if no agreement is reached on pricing in a timely manner. Contractor’s request or proposal in
response to State’s request must include: (a) documentation demonstrating that the additional
products meet or exceed the specifications for the original products while remaining in the same
product groups as the original ones; and (b) documentation demonstrating that the proposed

notification. State, at its discretion, will either allow Contractor to provide substitutes for the
discontinued products or delete the products from the scope of the Contract, both of which will be
accomplished by Contract Amendment. Contractor shall then update all applicable catalogs and
price lists and make them available to all affected entities at no additional cost. The parties shall
negotiate in good faith a fair price for any substitute product, but State may elect to delete the
products from the scope of the Contract if no agreement is reached on substitute pricing in a
timely manner. When notifying State of the discontinuance, Contractor shall provide:
(a) manufacturer’s announcement or documentation stating that the products have been
discontinued, with identification by model/part number; (b) documentation demonstrating that
the substitute products meet or exceed the specifications for the discontinued products while
remaining in the same product groups as were the discontinued ones; and (c) documentation
demonstrating that the proposed price for the substitute products is both fair and reasonable and
at the same level of discount relative to market price as were the discontinued ones.

3. Whether State will permit Contractor to repair in place or demands that Contractor remove
and replace is at State’s discretion in each instance, provided that, State shall not apply
that discretion punitively if repair in place is practicable and doing so would not create
safety hazards, put property at risk, unreasonably interfere with operations, create public
nuisance, or give rise to any other reasonable concern on State’s part.
State may, at its discretion, return for full credit and with no restocking charges any delivered
Materials unused in the original packaging, including any instruction manuals or other incidental
item that accompanied the original shipment, within thirty (30) days after receipt. If State elects to
return delivered Materials, then State shall pay all freight, delivery, and transit insurance costs to
return the products to the place from which Contractor shipped them, provided that, if State
returns delivered Materials because they are defective or non-conforming or for any other reason
having to do with Contractor fault or error, then State will not be responsible for paying freight,
delivery, or transit insurance costs to return the products and may, at its discretion, either have
those billed directly to Contractor or offset them under paragraph 8.5 [Right of Offset] of the
Uniform Terms and Conditions.
State may cancel Orders within a reasonable period after issuance and at its discretion. The same
method as that used for ordering will be used for cancellation. If State cancels an Order, then State

communication documentation required under the US Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) “Hazard Communication Standard” (often referred to as the
“HazCom 2012 Final Rule”) that is reasonably necessary for State to comply with regulations when
it or its other contractors install, handle, operate, repair, maintain or remove any Materials. Note
that, in the past, those documents might have been referred to as “Material Safety Data Sheets”
or “Product Safety Data Sheets”, but State (and this Contract) use only the more up-to-date “SDS”
reference. Contractor shall ensure that all its relevant personnel understand the nature of and
hazards associated with, to the extent it they are Contractor’s responsibility under the Contract,
the design, shipping, handling, delivery, installation, repair and maintenance of any portion of the
Work that is, contains or will become upon use a hazardous material, with “hazardous material”
being any material or substance that is: (1) identified now or in the future as being hazardous,

12.0 General Provisions for Services
12.1 Applicability Contractor shall provide the comprehensive range of services for which a price is established in the
Pricing Document for ordering by Eligible Agencies, and Co-Op Buyers if co-op buying applies.
12.2 Comprehensive
Services Offering State at its discretion may modify the scope of the Contract by Contract Amendment to include
additional services or service categories that are within the general scope of the ones originally
covered by the Contract if it determines that doing so is in its best interest. Once the Contract
Amendment is fully executed, Contractor shall then update all applicable price lists and make them
available to all affected entities at no additional cost. Either party may make the request to add
services to the Contract; regardless of who makes the request, the parties shall negotiate in good
faith a fair price for any additional services, but State may elect not to add some or all of the
services in question if no agreement is reached on pricing in a timely manner. Contractor’s request
or proposal in response to State’s request must include documentation demonstrating that the
proposed price for the additional services is both fair and reasonable and comparable to the
original ones.
12.3 Additional Services Contractor shall ensure that the design and/or procedures for the Services ordering method
prevents Orders for off-contract or excluded services. Notwithstanding that State might have its
own internal administrative rules regarding off contract or excluded service ordering, and
endeavors to prevent such orders from occurring, Contractor is responsible for not accepting any
such Orders. State may, at its discretion, cancel any such Order without obligation. As used above,
“off-contract service” refers to any service not included in the scope of the Contract and for which
no price or compensation has been established contractually, and “excluded service” refers to any
service expressly excluded from the scope of the Contract.
12.4 Off-Contract Services Notwithstanding that Contractor is in every circumstance responsible for hiring, assigning,
directing, managing, training, disciplining, and rewarding its personnel, State may at its discretion
and without the obligation to demonstrate cause instruct Contractor to remove any of its
personnel from State’s facilities or from further assignment under the Contract. In such cases,
Contractor shall promptly replace them with other personnel having equivalent qualifications,
experience, and capabilities.
12.5 Removal of Personnel During commencement, Contractor shall attend transition meetings with any outgoing vendors to
coordinate and ease the transition so that the effect on State’s operations is kept to a minimum.
State may elect to have outgoing vendors complete some or all of their work or orders in progress
to ease the transition as is safest and most efficient in each instance, even if that scope is covered
under the Contract. Conversely, State anticipates having a continued need for the same materials
and services upon expiration or earlier termination of the Contract. Accordingly, Contractor shall
work closely with any new (incoming) vendor and State to ensure as smooth and complete a
transfer as is practicable. State’s representative shall coordinate all transition activities and
facilitate joint development of a comprehensive transition plan by both Contractor and the
incoming vendor. As with the incoming transition. State may permit Contractor (outgoing) to
complete work or orders in progress to ease the transition as is safest and most efficient in each
instance.
12.6 Transitions Contractor is responsible for the accuracy of the Services, and shall promptly make all necessary
revisions or corrections resulting from errors and omissions on its part without additional
compensation. Acceptance by State will not relieve Contractor of responsibility for correction of
any errors discovered subsequently or necessary clarification of any ambiguities.
12.7 Accuracy of Work Contractor personnel shall perform their assigned portions of the Services at the specific location
indicated in the Order (if applicable). Contractor acknowledges that the location might be inside an
industrial building, institutional building, or one of various office types and classes. Additionally, if

for wait time, comebacks, or the like nor excuse late performance if Contractor has failed to make
the confirmation or comply with the applicable conditions.
12.8 Requirements at
Services Location State has the right to make acceptance of Services subject to acceptance criteria. State
may apply as acceptance criteria conformity to the Contract, accuracy, completeness, or
other indicators of quality or other matter for which the Contract or law states a
requirement, whether stated directly or by reference to another document, standard,
reference specification, etc. State will not owe Contractor any payment for un-accepted
Services; and State may, at its discretion, withhold or make partial payment for any
rejected Services if Contractor is still in the process of re-performing or otherwise curing
the grounds for State’s rejection.
12.9 Services Acceptance Notwithstanding any other guarantees, general warranties, or particular warranties Contractor has
given under the Contract, if Contractor fails to perform any material portion of the Services,
including failing to complete any contractual deliverable, or if its performance fails to meet
agreed-upon service levels or service standards set out in or referred to in the Contract, then
Contractor shall perform a root-cause analysis to identify the source of the failure and use all
commercially reasonable efforts to correct the failure and meet the Contract requirements as
promptly as is practicable.

detailed corrective action plan promptly after the date the failure occurred (or the date
when the failure first became apparent, if it was not apparent immediately after
occurrence).

shall make any corrections State instructs and adopt State’s recommendations so far as is
commercially practicable, provided that State may insist on any measures it determines
within reason to be necessary for safety or protecting property and the environment.
Contractor shall take the necessary action to avoid any like failure in the future, if doing so is
appropriate and practicable under the circumstances.
12.10 Corrective Action
Required Notwithstanding any other guarantees, general warranties, or particular warranties Contractor has
given under the Contract, if Contractor fails to perform any material portion of the Services,
including failing to complete any contractual deliverable, or if its performance fails to meet agreed-
upon service levels or service standards set out in or referred to in the Contract, then Contractor
shall perform a root-cause analysis to identify the source of the failure and use all commercially
reasonable efforts to correct the failure and meet the Contract requirements as promptly as is
practicable.

detailed corrective action plan promptly after the date the failure occurred (or the date
when the failure first became apparent, if it was not apparent immediately after
occurrence).
4. State may demand to review and approve Contractor’s analysis and plans, and Contractor
shall make any corrections State instructs and adopt State’s recommendations so far as is
commercially practicable, provided that State may insist on any measures it determines
within reason to be necessary for safety or protecting property and the environment.

Contractor may satisfy its indemnification obligations under the Contract by, to the extent
permissible by law, passing through to State such indemnity as it receives from the third-
party source (each a “Pass-Through Indemnity”) and cooperating with State in enforcing
that indemnity. If the third party fails to honor its Pass-Through Indemnity, or if a Pass-
Through Indemnity is insufficient to indemnify State Indemnitees to the extent and degree

indemnify, defend and hold harmless State Indemnitees to the extent the Pass-Through
Indemnity does not.
14.4.2 NOTIFY OF CLAIMS. State shall notify Contractor promptly of any claim to which a Pass-

knowingly used for the acquisition, operation, or maintenance of Materials or
Services in violation of intellectual property laws or a third party’s intellectual
property rights.
14.5 Systems and Controls 14.6.1 REPLACE, LICENSE, OR MODIFY. If Contractor becomes aware that any Materials or
Services infringe, or are likely to be infringing on, any third party’s intellectual property
rights, then Contractor shall at its sole cost and expense and in consultation with State
either:
(a) replace any infringing items with non-infringing ones;
(b) obtain for State the right to continue using the infringing items; or
(c) modify the infringing item so that they become non-infringing, so long as they
continue to function as specified following the modification.

reasonably be accomplished, or if the continued use of the infringing items is
impracticable, State may cancel the relevant Order or terminate the Contract and
Contractor shall take back the infringing items. If State does cancel the Order or terminate
the Contract, Contractor shall refund to State:
(a) for any software created for State under the Contract, the amount State paid to

3 (three) times the purchase price of the specific Materials or Services giving rise to the
claim.
14.7.2 PROVISOS. This paragraph 14.7 limits liability for first party direct, indirect, incidental,
special, punitive, and consequential damages relating to the Work regardless of the legal
theory under which the liability is asserted. This paragraph 14.7 does not limit liability
arising from any:
(a) Indemnified Claim against which Contractor has indemnified State Indemnitees
under paragraph 6.3;
(b) claim against which Contractor has indemnified State Indemnitees under paragraph
6.4; or

Order (or if no Order applies), then “purchase price” in Subparagraph 14.7.1 above means
the aggregate Contract price current at the time of Contract expiration or earlier
termination, including all Contract Amendments having an effect on the aggregate price
through that date. In all other cases, “purchase price” above means the total price of the
Order for the specific equipment, software, or services giving rise to the claim, and
therefore a separate limit will apply to each Order.
14.7.4 NO EFFECT ON INSURANCE. This paragraph does not modify the required
coverage limits, terms, and conditions of, or any insured’s ability to claim against,
any insurance that Contractor is required by the Contract to provide, and
Contractor shall obtain express endorsements that it does not.

Limitation 14.8.1 SPECIFIED DESIGN. Where the Scope of Work for information technology Work provides a
detailed design specification or sets out specific performance requirements, Contractor
warrants that the Work will provide all functionality material to the intended use stated in
the Contract, provided that, the foregoing warranty does not extend to any portions
of the Materials that are:
(a) modified or altered by anyone not authorized by Contractor to do so;
(b) maintained in a way inconsistent to any applicable manufacturer
recommendations; or
