BACKGROUND
The Miami Police Department utilizes cellular telephone equipment and services as a tool to
enhance their efficient use of communications in performing law enforcement functions, and for
use by Investigative Units to support investigative operations. The cellular telephones are also
utilized to contact the United States and State Attorney's Offices, other local, state and federal law
enforcement agencies, witnesses, as well as, other City of Miami agencies in support of NET
Operations, and during the coordination of field investigations.
Currently, there are a total of 189 cellular telephones utilized by the Police Department. Ninety-
five (95) funded by the General Fund and nine -four (94) funded by the Law Enforcement Trust
Fund. This legislation is being prepared for the ninety-five (95) cellular telephones funded
by the General Fund. They are utilized primarily to enhance the on-going essential operation of
the Miami Police Department in those law enforcement functions that do not fall within the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund guidelines. Authorized personnel using cellular telephones paid by the
General Fund include the Chief of Police and staff (Chief, Deputy Chief, Assistant Chiefs,
Executive Assistants, Majors and NET Commanders), Neighborhood Resource Officers, selected
Field Support Staff, and Investigators assigned to the General Investigations Units.

General Fund Funded
Cingular and Nextel Communications are the only two (2) vendors under the State of Florida
Contract Number 725-000-03-1, offering Cellular Equipment and Services. Both vendors meet
the needs of the Police Department. Nextel Communications was selected because they are the
only vendor providing cellular equipment and services with the direct connect feature. This feature
is not available with other calling plans and permits free contact with external agencies. Other
mobile -to -mobile telephone plans do not provide free contact with entities external to the
department's plan.

03- 254
the dealers and resellers agree to honor the Contract and the term "Contractor" shall be deemed
to refer to them. Unless awarded the Contract as a direct bidder, however, dealers and resellers
are not parties to the Contract, and the Contractor that certifies them shall be responsible for their
actions and omissions.
"Customer" means the State agencies and other eligible users that will order products directly
from the Contractor under the Contract. By ordering products under the Contract, the Customer
agrees to its terms. Customers are not, however, parties to the Contract.
"Department" means the Florida Department of Management Services. The.Department will be
a party to the Contract. "State Purchasing," a division within the Department's Support
Program, is responsible for administration of this solicitation and will be responsible for day-to-
day administration of the Contract. State Purchasing may be reached at 4050 Esplanade Way,
Suite 360, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0950, (850) 487-4634, or via links posted at
htty://www.myflorida.com/myflorida/business/index.html. The Department reserves the right to

3.02 Eligible Customers: Section 287.056 of the Florida Statutes governs agencies' use of the
Contract. Customers participating in the Contract do so according to the following terms: (1)
non -State Customers assume and bear complete responsibility with regard to performance of any
contractual obligation or term; (2) breach of a Contract term by any particular Customer shall not
be deemed a breach of the Contract as a whole, which shall remain in full force and effect, and
shall not affect the validity of the Contract nor the Contractor's obligations to non -breaching
Customers or the Department; (3) the State shall not be liable for any breach by a non -State
Customer; (4) each non -State Customer and the Contractor guarantee to save the State and its
officers, agents, and employees harmless from liability that may be or is imposed by their failure
to perform in accordance with their obligations under the Contract.
3.03 Requests for Ouotes: Unlike most products, technology products historically decrease in
price over time. Therefore, it is in the Customer's best interest not to set the price for any
particular technology product until the date the product is purchased. For all purchases of $2,500
or greater, CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPETITIVELY SETTING THE
PRICE FOR EACH PARTICULAR ORDER, AND THEY SHALL DO SO BY
INITIATING A REQUEST FOR QUOTES ("RFQ"), which is an oral or written request for
written pricing or service information from a Contractor for products available under the
Contract from that Contractor. Customers shall create and maintain written records of oral and
25
03- 254
written requests, as well as records of quotes received. Quotes shall be in writing but otherwise
informal, and need not be received or posted publicly or at a particular time or place. A
Customer shall initiate a sufficient number of requests to obtain a minimum of three quotes,
should look for a Contractor willing to beat its own (or a competitor's) currently authorized
Contract price, and shall place its purchase order with the Contractor quoting the lowest price,
unless the Customer documents in writing that the lowest price quote would not result in best
value (for example, lowest price is for refurbished or remanufactured product).
3.04 Postine and Revision of Authorized Product and Price List: Every Contractor shall
maintain on the Internet a list of the products it is authorized to sell under the Contract. The list
shall clearly indicate the ceiling price for each product, expressed either as a single price or as a
percentage savings off the "benchmark" price. On the Ordering Instructions form submitted with
the bid, bidders shall note the proposed Universal Resource Locator (URL) for this list. Posting
of the list in a form easily accessible to the Department and Customers shall be a condition
precedent to Contractor's right to payment under the Contract. The Department, in its sole
discretion, may maintain Contractor's authorized list or provide electronic links to it.
Regardless of the number of links to the list, Contractor shall ensure that Customers are able to
access one, and only one, version of the authorized list. The authorized list shall include, either
directly or via electronic link, the following: Contract number; contact person; part or product
numbers and descriptions; ordering information; and pricing information.
Contractor's initial authorized list shall be substantially identical to the "benchmark" list submitted
with the bid and used in making the award, or that portion of it bid by Contractor. Contractor shall
not make the list generally available or accept any orders off of it until the Department approves the
list. Contractor may thereafter amend the list to reflect product line and price changes, subject to the
following restrictions.
• For price changes, a Contractor shall only decrease, and shall never increase, the prices
offered initially (stated differently, a Contractor may increase, but never decrease, its
percentage discount). Posted price reductions shall take effect immediately and be applied
to unshipped and subsequent orders. CONTRACTORS ARE FREE TO OFFER
GREATER DISCOUNTS FOR INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS, AND
CUSTOMERS ARE REQUIRED TO SEEK THEM AND TO EXPLORE
WHETHER OTHER CONTRACTORS AUTHORIZED FOR THE PRODUCT
CATEGORY OFFER BETTER DISCOUNTS THROUGH THE RFQ PROCESS.
At least two business days before making any changes to the posted authorized list —
whether to products, to prices, or otherwise — a Contractor shall notify the Contract
Specialist by e-mail of its intent to make a change and describe the proposed change. The
Department may, in its sole discretion, prohibit any requested change or direct a Contractor
to undo any change already made. In addition, the Department may direct rescission of any
purchase order entered into on the basis of an unauthorized product and price list.
• Changes to the authorized list or to related information (for example, ordering information)
shall not be deemed Contract amendments.
26
03 - 254
• On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if directed in writing by the Contract Specialist,
Contractor shall submit written certification of changes made to its authorized list. The
certification shall be substantially in the form included in Section 4 of the solicitation
documents, "Certification of Changes to Authorized Product and Price List." Failure to
submit the form in a timely manner shall constitute grounds for terminating the Contract.
Falsification of any information on the form shall subject Contractor to civil liability and
criminal prosecution.
• The Department reserves the right to revise these restrictions in conjunction with
implementation of an on-line procurement system.
3.05 Product Version: Purchase orders shall be deemed to reference a manufacturer's most
recently released model or version of the product at the time of the order, unless the Customer
specifically requests in writing an earlier model or version and the Contractor is willing to
provide such model or version.
3.06 Ouantity Discounts: Contractors are urged to offer additional discounts for one time
delivery of large single orders of any assortment of items. Customers should seek to negotiate
additional price concessions on quantity purchases of any products offered under the Contract.
State Customers shall document their files accordingly.
3.07 Best Pricing Offer: During the Contract term, if the Contractor sells substantially the same
or a smaller quantity of a product outside the Contract, but upon the same or similar terms of the
Contract, at a lower price, then at the discretion of the Department the price under the Contract
shall be immediately reduced to the lower price.
3.08 Sales Promotions: In addition to decreasing prices for the balance of the Contract term due
to a change in market conditions, a Contractor may conduct sales promotions involving price
reductions for a specified lesser period or for a specific Customer group (e.g., K-12, Higher
Education, State Customers, etc.). A Contractor shall submit to the Contract Specialist
documentation identifying the proposed (1) starting and ending dates of the promotion or (2)
specific Customers to which the promotion is addressed and (3) products involved and (4)
promotional prices compared to then -authorized prices. Promotional prices shall be available to
all Customers. Upon approval, the Contractor shall conspicuously post notice of the promotion
with its authorized product list.
3.09 Trade -In: Customers may trade-in equipment when making purchases from the Contract.
A trade-in shall be negotiated between the Customer and the Contractor. Customers are
obligated to actively seek current fair market value when trading equipment, and to keep
accurate records of the. process. For State agencies, it may be necessary to provide
documentation to the Office of the State Comptroller and to the agency property custodian.
3.10 Americans With Disabilities Act: Contractors should identify any products that may be used
or adapted for use by visually, hearing, or other physically impaired individuals.
27
03- 254
3.11 Energy Star Compliant: The Federal Environmental Protection Agency encourages the
manufacture of energy efficient computer hardware, and the State supports this initiative. The
Department prefers that all products offered under the Contract be Energy Star compliant and bear
the EPA Energy Star Logo. Customers should seek to reduce the total cost of equipment ownership
and operation, and they should consider the purchase of Energy Star compliant equipment if it
meets their performance needs.
3.12 Reserved
3.13 Purchase Orders: A Contractor shall not deliver or furnish products until a Customer
transmits a purchase order. All purchase orders shall bear the Contract number, shall be placed
by the Customer directly with the Contractor, and shall be deemed to incorporate by reference
the Contract terms and conditions. Any discrepancy between the Contract terms and the terms
stated on the Contractor's order form, confirmation, or acknowledgement shall be resolved in
favor of terms most favorable to the Customer. A purchase order for services within the ambit of
section 287.058(1) of the Florida Statutes shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the
requirements of subparagraphs (a) through (f) thereof. Even where not otherwise required,
CUSTOMERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT PROMOTE
GOOD CONTRACT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND ENABLE THE CUSTOMER
AND CONTRACTOR TO MONITOR AND ADJUST PERFORMANCE, for example,
provisions clearly defining the scope of the work, provisions dividing the order into objectively
measured deliverables, provisions setting forth schedules for completion and (where appropriate)
liquidated damages for untimely completion, etc. State Customers shall designate a contract
manager and a contract administrator as required by subsections 287.057(14) and (15) of the
Florida Statutes. The Department reserves the right to revise this section in conjunction with

and stocking in appropriate, clearly labeled, shipping containers and according to accepted
commercial practice, without extra charge for packing materials, cases, or other types of
containers. All containers and packaging shall become and remain Customer's property.
3.15 Manufacturer's Name and Approved Equivalents: Unless otherwise specified, any
manufacturers' names, trade names, brand names, information and/or catalog numbers listed in a
specification are descriptive, not restrictive. With the Department's prior approval, the
Contractor may offer any product that meets or exceeds the applicable specifications. The
Contractor shall demonstrate comparability, including appropriate catalog materials, literature,
specifications, test data, etc. The Department shall determine in its sole discretion whether a
product is acceptable as an equivalent.

under pressure, operation by connection to an electric source, or operation involving connection
to a manufactured, natural, or LP gas source shall be constructed and approved in a manner
acceptable to the appropriate State inspector. Acceptability customarily requires, at a minimum,
identification marking of the appropriate safety standard organization, where such approvals of
listings have been established for the type of device offered and furnished, for example: the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers for pressure vessels; the Underwriters Laboratories
and/or National Electrical Manufacturers' Association for electrically operated assemblies; and

shall be licensed to the Customer in accordance with the Contractor or ISPO's standard licensed
agreement, provided, however, that the license agreement shall, at a minimum, (1) grant the
Customer a non-exclusive license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, adapt (unless the
Contractor demonstrates to the Customer before execution of a purchase order that adaptation

license capacity identified in the purchase order with all license rights necessary to effect the
Customer's stated purpose, and (2) recognize the State as the licensee, where the Customer is
part of the State. Where these rights are not otherwise covered by the ISPO's standard license
agreement, the Contractor shall obtain these rights at its sole expense. The Customer shall
reproduce all copyright notices and any other legend of ownership on any copies authorized
under this paragraph.
For custom products, effective upon creation the Contractor hereby conveys to the

to use and distribute modifications and customizations of the product to and for use by any
Customers otherwise licensed to use the product, provided that any modifications, however
extensive, shall not diminish licensor's proprietary title or interest. This paragraph grants no
license, right, or interest in any trademark, trade name, or service mark.

involves licensee's right to copy a previously licensed and accepted master copy, the term shall
begin the date the purchase order is executed.
Documentation: Upon request, the Contractor shall deliver to the licensee at the
Contractor's expense (1) one master electronic copy and one hard , copy of product
documentation or (2) one master electronic copy and hard copies of the product documentation

to make, reproduce (including downloading electronic copies), and distribute, either
electronically or otherwise, copies of product documentation as necessary to enjoy full use of the

accordance with the product documentation, without significant functional downtime to ongoing
operations during the maintenance term. The Customer shall not be required to purchase
maintenance for use of the product, and the Customer's license shall not be invalidated for
refusal to purchase maintenance. The maintenance term(s) and any renewals are independent of
the Contract term. The Customer may discontinue maintenance at the end of any current
maintenance term upon notice to the Contractor; provided, the term shall not automatically
renew. If the Customer does not initially acquire, or discontinues, maintenance, the Customer

transfers, but licensee shall give prior written notice to the Contractor. There shall be no
additional license or other transfer fees due, provided that (1) the maximum capacity of the
consolidated machine is equal to the combined individual license capacity of all licenses running
at the consolidated or transferred site (e.g., named users, seats, or MIPS) or (2) if the maximum
capacity of the consolidated machine is greater than the individual license capacity being
transferred, a logical or physical partition or other means of restricting access will be maintained
within the computer system to restrict use and access to the product to that unit of licensed
capacity solely dedicated to beneficial use for licensee. If the maximum capacity of the
consolidated machine is greater than the combined individual license capacity of all licenses
running at the consolidated or transferred site, and a logical or physical partition or other means
of restricting use is not available, the fees due the Contractor shall not exceed the fees otherwise
payable for a single license for the upgrade capacity.
Restricted Use by Third Parties: Outsourcers, facilities management, service bureaus, or
other services retained by licensee shall have the right to use the product to maintain licensee's

performance by the licensee. Royalty payments for use of intellectual property shall be separate
from and independent of payments for performance of all other obligations under the Contract
(e.g., continuing development obligations, maintenance and support obligations, obligations to
provide updates, indemnity obligations, etc.). Upon request, the licensor shall furnish licensee
any intellectual property, as defined in the Code, and any embodiment of that intellectual

payment. Contractors may call (850) 413-7269 Monday through Friday to inquire about the
status of payments by State agencies. The Customer is responsible for all payments under the
Contract. A Customer's failure to pay, or delay in payment, shall not constitute a breach of the
Contract and shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligations to the Department or to other
Customers.
3.25 Taxes: The State does not pay Federal excise or sales taxes on direct purchases of tangible
personal property. The State will not pay for any personal property taxes levied on the
Contractor or for any taxes levied on employees' wages. Purchases by non -State Customers may
be subject to taxes, which shall be computed based on the purchase price and added to the
invoice submitted to such entity for payment.

for payment, then the Contractor may, upon ten days advance written notice to both the
Department and Customer's purchasing official, suspend additional shipments of product or
provision of services to that specific Customer until such time as reasonable arrangements have
been made and assurances given by the Customer for current and future Contract payments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contractor shall, in writing and at least ten days before
declaring a Customer in breach of the terms of a particular order, notify both the Department and
Customer's purchasing official of the specific facts, circumstances and grounds upon which the
Contractor intends to declare a breach. If the Contractor's basis for declaring a breach is

audit by the State. Contractors shall be responsible for reporting sales and paying user fees
resulting from sales made by authorized resellers. The Department reserves the right to revise
collection and reporting requirements in conjunction with implementation of an on-line
procurement system.

surcharge fees. CONTRACTORS DELINQUENT IN PAYING USER FEES MAY BE
EXCLUDED FROM BIDDING ON DEPARTMENT CONTRACTS.
3.29 Governmental Restrictions: If the Contractor believes that any governmental restrictions

non -exhaustive example, Chapter 287 of the Florida Statutes and Chapter 60A-1 of the Florida
Administrative Code govern the Contract. By way of further non -exhaustive example, the
Contractor shall comply with section 247A(e) of the Immigration and Nationalization Act, the

religion, sex, creed, national origin, handicap, marital status, or veteran's status. Violation of

3.31 LobbyingLand Integrity: Pursuant to section 216.347 of the Florida Statutes, the Contractor
may not expend any State funds for the purpose of lobbying the Legislature, the judicial branch,
or a state agency. In addition, the Contractor shall not, in connection with this or any other
agreement with the State, directly or indirectly (1) offer, confer, or agree to confer any pecuniary
benefit on anyone as consideration for any State officer or employee's decision, opinion,
recommendation, vote, other exercise of discretion, or violation of a known legal duty, or (2)
offer, give, or agree to give to anyone any gratuity for the benefit of, or at the direction or request
of, any State officer or employee. For purposes of clause (2), "gratuity" means any payment of
more than nominal monetary value in the form of cash, travel, entertainment, gifts, meals,
lodging, loans, subscriptions, advances, deposits of money, services, employment, or contracts of
any kind. Upon request of the Department's Inspector General, or other authorized State official,
the Contractor shall provide any type of information the Inspector General deems relevant to the
Contractor's integrity or responsibility. Such information may include, but shall not be limited
to, the Contractor's business or financial records, documents, or files of any type or form that
refer to or relate to the Contract. The Contractor shall retain such records for the longer of (1)
three years after the expiration of the Contract or (2) the period required by the General Records
Schedules maintained by the Florida Department of State (available at:
hM://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/barm/genschedules/gensched.hti-n). The Contractor agrees to reimburse
the State for the reasonable costs of investigation incurred by the Inspector General or other
authorized State official for investigations of the Contractor's compliance with the terms of this
or any other agreement between the Contractor and the State which results in the suspension or
debarment of the Contractor. Such costs shall include, but shall not be limited to: salaries of
investigators, including overtime; travel and lodging expenses; and expert witness and
documentary fees. The Contractor shall not be responsible for any costs of investigations that do
not result in the Contractor's suspension or debarment.
3.32 Indemnification: The Contractor shall be fully liable for the actions of its agents,
employees, partners, or subcontractors and shall fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
State and Customers, and their officers, agents, and employees, from suits, actions, damages, and
costs of every name and description, including attorneys' fees, arising from or relating to
personal injury and damage to real or personal tangible property alleged to be caused in whole or
in part by Contractor, its agents, employees, partners, or subcontractors; provided, however, that
the Contractor shall not indemnify for that portion of any loss or damages proximately caused by
the negligent act or omission of the State or a Customer. Further, the Contractor shall fully
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the State and Customers from any suits, actions, damages,
and costs of every name and description, including attorneys' fees, arising from or relating to
violation or infringement of a trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret or intellectual property
right, provided that the State or Customer shall give the Contractor (1) written notice of any
action or threatened action, (2) the opportunity to take over and settle or defend any such action
at Contractor's sole expense, and (3) assistance in defending the action at Contractor's sole
expense. The Contractor shall not be liable for any cost, expense, or compromise incurred or
made by the State or Customer in an infringement action without the Contractor's prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any product is the subject of an
infringement suit, or in the Contractor's opinion is likely to become the subject of such a suit, the
Contractor may at its sole expense procure for the Customer the right to continue using the
krol
03- 254
product or to modify it to become non -infringing. If the Contractor is not reasonably able to
modify or otherwise secure the Customer the right to continue using the product, the Contractor
shall remove the product and refund the Customer the amounts paid in excess of a reasonable
rental for past use. The Customer shall not be liable for any royalties. Except as specified in the
foregoing portions of this section, for all other claims against the Contractor under any individual
purchase order, and regardless of the basis on which the claim is made, the Contractor's liability
under a purchase order for direct damages shall be the greater of $100,000, the dollar amount of
the purchase order, or two times the charges rendered by the Contractor under the purchase
order. Unless otherwise specifically enumerated in the Contract or in the purchase order, no
party shall be liable to another for special, indirect, or consequential damages,. including lost data
or records (unless the purchase order requires the Contractor to back-up data or records), even if
the party has been advised that such damages are possible. No party shall be liable for lost
profits, lost revenue, or lost institutional operating savings. The State and Customer may, in
addition to other remedies available to them at law or equity and upon notice to the Contractor,
retain such monies from amounts due Contractor as may be necessary to satisfy any claim for
damages, penalties, costs and the like asserted by or against them. The State may set off any
liability or other obligation of the Contractor or its affiliates to the State against any payments
due the Contractor under any contract with the State.
3.33 Performance Bond: Customers may require the Contractor to furnish without additional
cost a performance bond or negotiable irrevocable letter of credit or other form of security for the
faithful performance of work under the Contract. Such requirement shall be set forth in the
purchase order.
3.34 Suspension of Work: The Department may in its sole discretion suspend any or all
activities under the Contract, at any time, when in the best interests of the State to do so. The
Department shall provide the Contractor written notice outlining the particulars of suspension.
Examples of the reason for suspension include, but are not limited to, budgetary constraints,
declaration of emergency, or other such circumstances. After receiving a suspension notice, the
Contractor shall comply with the notice and shall not accept any purchase orders. Within ninety
days, or any longer period agreed to by the Contractor, the Department shall either (1) issue a
notice authorizing resumption of work, at which time activity shall resume, or (2) terminate the
Contract. Suspension of work shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation.
3.35 Termination for Convenience: The Department, by written notice to the Contractor, may
terminate the Contract in whole or in part when the Department determines in its sole discretion
that it is in the State's interest to do so. The Contractor shall not furnish any goods or perform
any services after it receives the notice of termination, except as necessary to complete the
continued portion of the Contract, if any. The Contractor shall not be entitled to recover any
cancellation charges or lost profits.
3.36 Termination for Cause: The Department may terminate the Contract if the Contractor
fails to (1) deliver the supplies or perform the services within the time specified in the Contract
or any extension, (2) maintain adequate progress, thus endangering performance of the Contract,
(3) honor any term of the Contract, or (4) abide by any statutory, regulatory, or licensing
requirement. Rule 60A-1.006(3), Florida Administrative Code, governs the procedure and
37
03- 254
consequences of default. The Contractor shall continue work on any work not terminated.
Except for defaults of subcontractors at any tier, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess
costs if the failure to perform the Contract arises from events completely beyond the control, and
without the fault or negligence, of the Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused by the
default of a subcontractor at any tier, and if the cause of the default is completely beyond the
control of both the Contractor and the subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of
either, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs for failure to perform, unless the
subcontracted services or supplies were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time for the
Contractor to meet the required delivery schedule. If, after termination, it is determined that the
Contractor was not in default, or that the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of the
parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the
Department. The rights and remedies of the Department in this clause are in addition to any
other rights and remedies provided by law or under the Contract.
3.37 Force Maieure, Notice of Delay, and No Damases for Delay: The Contractor shall not
be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the
negligence of the Contractor or its employees or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is
due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar
cause wholly beyond the Contractor's control, or for any of the foregoing that affect
subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor. In case
of any delay the Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor shall notify the Customer in
writing of the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten
(10) days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if the Contractor could
reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result, or (2) if delay is not reasonably
foreseeable, within five (5) days after the date the Contractor first had reason to believe that a
delay could result. THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE THE CONTRACTOR'S
SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT TO DELAY. Providing notice in strict
accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No claim for damages,
other than for an extension of time, shall be asserted against the Customer or the Department.
The Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract price or payment of any kind
from the Customer or Department for direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs,
expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising
because of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If
performance is suspended or delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in
this paragraph, after the causes have ceased to exist the Contractor shall perform at no increased
cost, unless the Department determines, in its sole discretion, that the delay will significantly
impair the value of the Contract to the State or to Customers, in which case the Department may
(1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from the Contractor, provided that the Contractor
grants preferential treatment to Customers with respect to products subjected to allocation,
and/or (2) purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by the Contractor for the related
costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the products that are the subject of the delay, which
purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantity, or (3) terminate the Contract in whole or
in part.
3.38 Equitable Adiustment: The Department may, in its sole discretion, make an equitable
adjustment in the Contract terms and/or pricing if pricing or availability of supply is affected by
38
o3. 254
extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace, that is, by circumstances that satisfy all the
following criteria: (1) the volatility is due to causes wholly beyond the Contractor's control, (2)
the volatility affects the marketplace or industry, not just the particular Contract source of
supply, (3) the effect on pricing or availability of supply is substantial, and (4) the volatility so
affects the Contractor that continued performance of the Contract would result in a substantial
loss.
3.39 Scope Changes: The Department may unilaterally require, by written order, changes
altering, adding to, or deducting from the Contract specifications, provided that such changes are
within the general scope of the Contract. The Department may make an equitable adjustment in
the Contract price or delivery date if the change affects the cost or time of performance. Such
equitable adjustments require the written consent of the Contractor, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If unusual quantity requirements arise, the Department may solicit
separate bids to satisfy them.
3.40 Renewal: Subject to Chapter 287 of the Florida Statutes, and upon mutual agreement, the
Department and the Contractor may renew the Contract, in whole or in part. Any renewal shall
be in writing and signed by both parties.
3.41 Advertising: The Contractor shall not publicly disseminate any information concerning the
Contract without prior written approval from the Department, including, but not limited to
mentioning the Contract in a press release or other promotional material, identifying the
Department or the State as a reference, or otherwise linking the Contractor's name and either a
description of the Contract or the name of the State, the Department, or any Customer in any
material published, either in print or electronically, to any entity that is not a party to Contract,
except potential or actual authorized distributors, dealers, resellers, or service representative.
3.42 Assignment: The Contractor shall not sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, duties or
obligations under the Contract, or under any purdhase order issued pursuant to the Contract,
without the prior written consent of the Department; provided, the Contractor assigns to the State
any and all claims it has with respect to the Contract under the antitrust laws of the United States
and the State. The Department may assign the Contract with prior written notice to Contractor of
its intent to do so.
3.43 Dispute Resolution: Any dispute concerning performance of the Contract shall be decided
by the Contract Specialist, who shall reduce the decision to writing and serve a copy on the
Contractor and, if appropriate, the Customer. The decision of Contract Specialist shall be final
and conclusive unless within ten (10) days from the date of receipt, the Contractor files with the
Department a petition for administrative hearing. The Department's decision on the petition
shall be final, subject to the Contractor's right to review pursuant to Chapter 120 of the Florida
Statutes. Without limiting the foregoing, the exclusive venue of any legal or equitable action
that arises out of or relates to the Contract shall be the appropriate state court in Leon County,
Florida; in any such action, Florida law shall apply, the Contractor waives any right to jury trial
that it may have, and the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable costs incurred, including
attorneys' fees and costs on appeal.

03" 234
3.44 Employees, Subcontractors, and Agents: All Contractor employees, subcontractors, or
agents performing work under the Contract shall be properly trained technicians who meet or
exceed any specified training qualifications. Upon request, Contractor shall furnish a copy of
technical certification or other proof of qualification. All employees, subcontractors, or agents
performing work under the Contract must comply with all security and administrative
requirements of the Customer. The State may conduct, and the Contractor shall cooperate in, a
security background check or otherwise assess any employee, subcontractor, or agent furnished
by the Contractor. The State may refuse access to, or require replacement of, any personnel for
cause, including, but not limited to, technical or training qualifications, quality of work, change
in security status, or non-compliance with a Customer's security or other requirements. Such
approval shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to perform all work in compliance with
the Contract. The State may reject and bar from any facility for cause any of the Contractor's
employees, subcontractors, or agents.
3.45 Security and Confidentiality: The Contractor shall comply fully with all security
procedures of the State and Customer in performance of the Contract. The Contractor shall not
divulge to third parties any confidential information obtained by the Contractor or its agents,
distributors, resellers, subcontractors, officers or employees in the course of performing Contract
work, including, but not limited to, security procedures, business operations information, or
commercial proprietary information in the possession of the State or Customer. The Contractor
shall not be required to keep confidential information or material that is publicly available
through no fault of the Contractor, material that the Contractor developed independently without
relying on the State's or Customer's confidential information, or material that is otherwise
obtainable under State law as a public record. To insure confidentiality, the Contractor shall take
appropriate steps as to its personnel, agents, and subcontractors. The warranties of this
paragraph shall survive the Contract.
3.46 Independent Contractor Status of Contractor: The Contractor, together with its agents,
distributors, resellers, subcontractors, officers and employees, shall have and always retain under
the Contract the legal status of an independent contractor, and in no manner shall they be deemed
employees of the State or Customer or deemed to be entitled to any benefits associated with such
employment. During the term of the Contract, Contractor shall maintain at its sole expense those
benefits to which its employees would otherwise be entitled to by law, including health benefits,
and- all necessary insurance for its employees, including workers' compensation, disability, and
unemployment insurance, and provide Customers with certification of such insurance upon
request. The Contractor remains responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, and
all FICA contributions.
3.47 Insurance Requirements: During the Contract term, the Contractor at its sole expense shall
provide commercial insurance of such a type and with such terms and limits as may be reasonably
associated with the Contract, which, as a minimum, shall be: workers' compensation and
employer's liability insurance per Florida statutory limits (currently $100,000 per accident,
$100,000 per person, and $500,000 policy aggregate) covering all employees engaged in any
Contract work; commercial general liability coverage on an occurrence basis in the minimum
amount of $500,000 (defense cost shall be in excess of the limit of liability), naming the State as an
additional insured; and automobile liability insurance covering all vehicles, owned or otherwise,
40
03- 254
v
used in the Contract work, with minimum combined limits of $500,000, including hired and non -
owned liability, and $5,000 medical payment. Providing and maintaining adequate insurance
coverage is a material obligation of the Contractor and is of the essence of the Contract. Upon
request, the Contractor shall provide certificate of insurance. The Contract shall not limit the types
of insurance Contractor may desire to obtain or be required to obtain by law. The limits of coverage
under each policy maintained by the Contractor shall not be interpreted as limiting the Contractor's
liability and obligations under the Contract. All insurance policies shall be through insurers
authorized to write policies in Florida.
3.48 Service: If a Customer is unable to obtain service/warranty within the time specified, or if
difficulties are encountered in obtaining service from the Contractor's designated service
location, the Customer shall notify the individual designated on the Contractor's ordering
instruction sheet, who shall then arrange and coordinate service by an alternate service dealer at
no additional cost to the Customer.
3.49 Warranty: Contractor warrants that all product furnished under the Contract shall be free
of defective material and workmanship, and shall otherwise perform in accordance with required

than the time the Contractor returns a signed copy of the Contract, with proof of a Certificate of
Status from the Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, demonstrating that the Contractor is
in good standing and legally authorized to transact business in Florida. Failure to submit this
documentation shall be sufficient grounds for withholding payment under the Contract and cause
for termination. The Contractor warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, there is no pending
or threatened action, proceeding, or investigation, or any other legal or financial condition, that
would in any way prohibit, restrain, or diminish the Contractor's ability to satisfy its Contract
obligations. The Contractor warrants that neither it nor any affiliate is currently on the convicted
vendor list maintained pursuant to section 287.133 of the Florida Statutes, or on any similar list
maintained by any other state or the federal government. The Contractor shall immediately

mechanisms (sometimes called "time bombs," "time locks," or "drop dead" devices) or that
would permit the Contractor to access the product to cause such disablement or impairment
(sometimes called a "trap door" device). The Contractor agrees that upon an alleged breach of
this provision, the Customer shall not have an adequate remedy at law, including monetary
damages, and that the Customer shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order,
injunction, or other form of equitable relief against the continuance of such breach, in addition to
any other remedies to which the Customer shall be entitled.

extent that a product is certified by or is available from PRIDE, and has been approved in
accordance with section 946.515(2) of the Florida Statutes, it is expressly understood and agreed
that any articles which are the subject of, or required to carry out, the Contract shall be purchased
from the corporation identified under Chapter 946 of the Florida Statutes (PRIDE) in the same
manner and under the same procedures set forth in section 946.515(2) and (4) of the Florida
Statutes; and for purposes of the Contract the person, firm, or other business entity carrying out

of the Florida Statutes; additional information about PRIDE and the products it offers is available
at htM://www.pridefl.com.
3.57 Products Available from the Blind or Other Handicapped: To the extent that a product
is included on the procurement list created and distributed pursuant to section 413.035(2),
Florida Statutes, it is expressly understood and agreed that any articles that are the subject of, or

the Contractor may offer the Customer more advantageous pricing, payment, or other terms and
conditions than those set forth in the Contract. In such event, upon request the Contractor shall
furnish to the Department a copy of the better offer. The Department shall determine, in its sole
discretion, whether the offer, on the whole, is in fact more advantageous. Any offer that is not
more advantageous, even if this determination is not made until after acceptance, shall be
voidable at the Customer's option, in which case the Contract terms and conditions shall govern.
Other than where terms are more advantageous for the Customer than those set forth in the
Contract, no alteration or modification of the Contract terms, including substitution of product,
shall be valid or binding against the Customer unless authorized by the Department or specified
in the notice of award. The Contractor may not unilaterally modify the terms of the Contract by
affixing additional terms to product upon delivery (e.g., attachment or inclusion of standard
preprinted forms, product literature, "shrink wrap" terms accompanying or affixed to a product,
whether written or electronic) or by incorporating such terms onto the Contractor's order or
fiscal forms or other documents forwarded by the Contractor for payment. A Customer's
acceptance of product or processing of documentation on forms furnished by the Contractor for
approval or payment shall not constitute acceptance of the proposed modification to terms and
conditions.
3.59 Waiver: The delay or failure by the Department to exercise or enforce any of its rights
under this Contract shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of the Department's right
thereafter to enforce those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
3.60 Execution in Counterparts: The Contract may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
3.61 Severabilitv: If a court deems any provision of the Contract void or unenforceable, that
provision shall be enforced only to the extent that it is not in violation of law or is not otherwise
unenforceable, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
