TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
RECOMMENDATION
DATE: Proposed Resolution FILE:
SUBJECT: Sixty Month Lease/Purchase
Of Xerox DocuColor 12
REFERENCES: Color Copier
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
approving a sixty (60) month lease/purchase of a Xerox DocuColor 12 color copier from Xerox
Corporation, a Non-Local/Non-Minority vendor, located at 15150 N.W. 79t' Court, Miami
Lakes, Florida 33016, as per terms and conditions under State of Florida Contract No. 250-000-
03-1; effective thru 7/31/05, subject to further extensions by the State of Florida, at an annual
amount not to exceed $22,000 with an end of lease buy-out option in the amount not to exceed
$2,000. Funding is available from the Department of General Services Administration, Graphic
Reproductions Division, Account Code No. 505000.420501.6.610 (FY03'), subject to the
availability of funds and budgetary approval.
BACKGROUND
The Department of General Services Administration, Graphic Reproductions Division, is
requesting to lease/purchase a Xerox DocuColor 12 color copier. This would give the Graphic
Reproductions Division a greater flexibility when working on special projects. This machine
would operate like a network printer allowing users to print from their computers over the city
network. Jobs would then be sent to a queue where they would be prioritized and printed by a
Graphic Reproductions staff person. This would eliminate the need of individuals to travel to the
Graphic Reproductions Division to deliver jobs.
The DocuColor 12 color copier is capable of running 20 lb. bond to 140 lb. cover with full bleeds
on 8.5" x 11" and 11" x 17" pages. It produces twelve (12) full color 8.5" x 11" pages per minute
and fifty (50) pages per minute in black and white. The DocuColor 12 has two (2) meters, one for
black & white and another for color. Also, the copier's scanner can detect whether the original is
color or black & white and charge appropriately. This is very helpful in reproducing documents
with scattered color.

Instructions to Bidders
Page 2 of 7
1.04 Who May Bid: ONLY THE MANUFACTURERS OF BRANDS IDENTIFIED IN
THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS MAY SUBMIT BIDS. "Manufacturer" means the
entity that holds the trademark in the identified brand name. At its option, a manufacturer may
authorize a single entity, such as a distributor or other agent, to represent the manufacturer for
purposes of bidding and entering into the Contract, in which case conclusive proof of such
authorization shall be submitted with the bid. Dealers and resellers shall not submit bids. The
Department reserves the right to accept bids from entities offering products that satisfy the
"other" brand criteria outlined in the technical specifications but that do not have protected trade
names.
1.05 Ordering Instructions and Manufacturer's Certification: On the Ordering Instructions
form included in section 4.0 of these solicitation documents, bidders shall identify those dealers
or resellers that will accept orders and complete deliveries and certify that they are authorized to
do so. BIDDERS SHALL IDENTIFY AT LEAST THREE AUTHORIZED DEALERS OR
RESELLERS PER (SUB)CATEGORY, AT. LEAST ONE OF WHICH SHALL BE A
FLORIDA CERTIFIED WOMAN- OR MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESS. A bidder may
identify itself as an authorized dealer, in which case it need only identify two more. Information
on certified minority vendors is available from the Office of Supplier Diversity at
http:Hosd.dms.state. fl.us. The certification shall be executed by a duly -authorized
manufacturer's representative; dealers and resellers are not authorized to sign this certification on
behalf of the manufacturer. AUTHORIZED DEALERS AND RESELLERS MAY SELL
ITEMS UNDER THE CONTRACT DIRECTLY TO CUSTOMERS, PROVIDED THEY
OFFER AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE THEN -CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED
PERCENTAGE SAVINGS FOR THE BRAND. Bidders shall indicate on the Ordering
Instructions form the standard delivery time, which is the number of calendar days normally
required to make delivery after receipt of a purchase order. Bidders shall also identify on the
Ordering Instructions form all service representatives that will be responsible for providing
service during the term of the Contract. For every entity identified on the Ordering Instructions
form, the bidder shall include complete and detailed ordering instructions, including SPURS
vendor number(s). A manufacturer may add or delete dealers, resellers, and service
representatives during the Contract term by submitting a revised Ordering Instructions form to
the Contract Specialist, which shall not be deemed a Contract amendment.
1.06 Basis for Award: The Department intends to make multiple awards on a state-wide basis
to responsive bidders offering discounted prices. EACH BIDDER SHALL SUBMIT WITH
ITS BID BOTH A HARD COPY AND AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE LIST THE
BIDDER USES AS THE BENCHMARK LIST AGAINST WHICH TO MEAURE
OFFERED PRICE SAVINGS. Failure to measure percentage savings against the "benchmark"
list, or an attempt to include reference to any other price, product, or similar list, will render a bid
non-responsive and constitute grounds for rejecting the bid. EACH BIDDER MUST OFFER
A PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT OF AT LEAST 5% OFF OF ITS PUBLISHED PRODUCT
LIST FOR THE FLORIDA MARKET. The percentage shall not reflect any savings that may
be offered for refurbished or remanufactured product. Bidders shall note the percentage on the
Savings/Price Increases or Reductions form (PUR 7064) included in section 4.0 of these
solicitation documents. Bidders need not, however, use their retail lists for the Florida market as
the "benchmark" list; for example, a bidder may choose to use as its "benchmark" a list
associated with a contract with the General Services Administration of the United States.
Bidders may bid fewer than all of the product categories and sub -categories outlined in the
Technical Specifications and noted on the bid tables included in section 4.0 of these solicitation
documents. For each sub -category, a bidder shall enter on the bid table either a numeT4
http://www.myflorida.com/st—contracts/25000003 I/Instructions%20to%2OBidders.htm 8/7/2002
Instructions to Bidders
Page 3 of 7
percentage to the nearest tenth (e.g., 35.5%) representing the offered savings, or "N/A"
representing that the bidder is not bidding that sub -category. Alternatively, and to avoid
submitting many pages filled with "N/A," a bidder may return only those bid tables containing
categories it is bidding, but shall identify in a cover letter exactly which pages it is submitting
(for example, if bidding only the category of Uninterruptable Power Supplies and Surge
Suppressors, a bidder need only return page 20 of the bid tables and so state in its cover letter).
Bidders are solely responsible for submitting the appropriate forms with their bid.
The Department reserves the right to make award by individual item, group of items, or a
combination thereof. The Department reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids, or
separable portions, and to waive any minor irregularity, technicality, or omission if the
Department determines that doing so will serve the State's best interest.
1.07 Questions/Contract Specialist: Bidders shall address any question regarding this
solicitation to the Contract Specialist, who is identified on the cover sheet of this solicitation
package. Do not contact Customers directly. Questions shall be in writing, shall reference the
ITB number and the bid opening date, and shall be RECEIVED NO LATER THAN APRIL
22, 2002, and shall be answered in writing on or before April 29, 2002. To minimize the need
for written questions and answers, the DEPARTMENT WILL CONDUCT A PRE-BID
CONFERENCE ON APRIL 18, 2002, AT 1:00 P.M. in Room 301 of the Department's
offices, 4050 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, Florida. Bidders are encouraged, but not required, to

Bidders shall disclose with their bid the name of any officer, director, employee or other agent
who is also an employee of the State. Bidders shall also disclose the name of any State
employee who owns, directly or indirectly, an interest of five percent (5%) or more in the bidder
or its affiliates.
1.09 Convicted Vendors: A person or affiliate placed on the convicted vendor list following a
conviction for a public entity crime is prohibited from doing any of the following for a period of
36 months from the date of being placed on the convicted vendor list: submitting a bid on a
contract to provide any goods or services to a public entity; submitting a bid on a contract with a
public entity for the construction or repair of a public building or public work; submitting bids
on leases of real property to a public entity; being awarded or performing work as a contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, or consultant under a contract with any public entity; and transacting
business with any public entity in excess of the Category Two threshold amount ($25,000)
provided in section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes.
1.10 Discriminatory Vendors: An entity or affiliate placed on the discriminatory vendor list
pursuant to section 287.134 of the Florida Statutes may not submit a bid on a contract to provide
any goods or services to a public entity; may not submit a bid on a contract with a public entity
for the construction or repair of a public building or public work; may not submit bids on leases
of real property to a public entity; may not be awarded or perform work as a contractor, supplier,
sub -contractor, or consultant under a contract with any public entity; and may not transact
business with any public entity.

made in conformance with those terms and conditions.
If an award is made to the bidder, the bidder agrees that it intends to be legally bound
to the Contract that is formed with the State.

preparing, approving, or submitting the bid, and has been advised by each of them
that he or she has not participated in any communication, consultation, discussion,
agreement, collusion, act or other conduct inconsistent with any of the statements and
representations made in the bid.
The bidder shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Department and its
employees against any cost, damage, or expense which may be incurred or be caused
by any error in the bidder's preparation of its bid.
All information provided by, and representations made by, the bidder are material

capacity of the manufacturer for the production, distribution, and servicing of the product bid. If
the Department determines that the conditions of the solicitation documents are not complied
with, or that the product proposed to be furnished does not meet the specified requirements, or
that the qualifications, financial standing, or facilities are not satisfactory, or that performance is
untimely, the Department may reject the bid or terminate the Contract. Bidder may be
disqualified from receiving awards if bidder, or anyone in bidder's employment, has previously
failed to perform satisfactorily in connection with public bidding or contracts. This paragraph
shall not mean or imply that it is obligatory upon the Department to make an investigation either

or rejected.
1.18 Clarifications/Revisions: Before award, the Department reserves the right to seek
clarifications, to request bid revisions, and to request any information deemed necessary for
proper evaluation of bids from all bidders deemed eligible for Contract award. Failure to provide
requested information may result in rejection of the bid.

evaluate the bidder's claim of exemption. If the Department receives a public records request
related to the bid, the Department shall notify the bidder in writing at least seven days before

responsible for taking whatever action it deems appropriate to legally protect its claim of
exemption from the public records law. If the bidder fails to do so, the Department shall make
the information available for review. In no event shall the Department or any of its employees or
agents be liable for disclosing, or otherwise failing to protect the confidentiality of, information
submitted in response to this solicitation.

3.01 Definitions:
The term "bid" means the offer extended to the Department in response to this solicitation. The
forms to accompany the bid are included in section 4.0 of these solicitation documents.
"Contract" means the legally enforceable agreement, if any, that results from this solicitation.
The parties to the Contract will be the Department and Contractors. The Contract shall be
reduced to writing substantially in the form included in section 4.0 of these solicitation
documents.
"Contract Specialist" means the State Purchasing employee who is primarily responsible for
administration of the Contract. The Contract Specialist is identified in the Instructions to
Bidders, and the Department shall conspicuously post contact information on its Internet web
page associated with the Contract. The Department may appoint a different Contract Specialist,
which shall not constitute an amendment to the Contract, by updating the posted contact
information and sending notice to Contractor. Any communication to the Department by
Contractors, by State Customer contract managers or contract administrators, or by other
Customer purchasing officials, shall be addressed to the Contract Specialist.
"Contractor" means a successful bidder, which, along with the Department, will enter into the
Contract. The Department anticipates making a multiple award, but for sake of convenience the
solicitation documents use the singular form of this term. If a Contractor is a manufacturer, its
certified dealers and resellers may also furnish products under the Contract; in choosing to do so,
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
http://www.myflorida.com/st—contracts/25 000003 1 /General%20Conditions.htrn 8/7/2002
General Conditions
Page 3 of 20
a parry 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
http:/h,-N,v1v.mvtlorida.com/niyflorida/business.%index.html. The Department reserves the right to
contract with a third -party service provider to assume responsibility for administration of the
Contract.
"Product" means any deliverable under the Contract, which may include commodities, services,
technology or software.
"Purchase order" means the form or format a Customer uses to make a purchase under the
Contract (e.g., a formal written purchase order, electronic purchase order, procurement card, or
other authorized means).
"State" means the State of Florida and its agencies.
3.02 Eligible Customers: Section 287.056 of the Florida Statutes. governs agencies' use of the
Contract. Others may seek Department approval under section 287.042(2)(a) as an eligible user
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 Quotes: 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
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 Posting 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 product line changes, a Contractor shall offer products under the Contract only
within those sub -categories it is currently authorized to offer. For example, if a
Contractor currently is authorized to sell servers but not personal computers, the
Contractor shall not add personal computers to its authorized list of products. During
the term of the Contract, however, a Contractor may seek to increase the number of
product categories it is authorized to offer by being added as an authorized Contractor
for other categories, as outlined in paragraph 3.12 of these General Conditions. Upon
written request of a Customer, the Department may waive this prohibition for a
particular transaction and allow a Contractor to bundle and sell products that it is not
currently authorized to sell along with products that is authorized to sell, if the
Customer conclusively demonstrates, to the Department's satisfaction, that the
"package deal" would provide the best value to the State. Within its currently
authorized product categories, a Contractor may amend its list to reflect product
developments. Any added product shall be offered at the then -current authorized
percentage discount, which shall always be at least as great as the discount offered
initially.
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.
A&I Changes to the authorized list or to related information (for example, ordering
information) shall not be deemed Contract amendments.

4'► 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.
.A' 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 Quantity 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.
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. 02-1236 2_1236

3.12 Authorized Product Categories: Upon Contractor's written request, the Department may
authorize the Contractor to furnish product under other categories or subcategories identified in
the solicitation documents. In considering Contractor's request, the Department shall apply
substantially the same terms and conditions governing the initial solicitation. The Department's
decision on the request shall be final and not subject to appeal of any kind.
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
implementation of an on-line procurement system.
3.14 Packaging: Tangible product shall be securely and properly packed for shipment, storage,
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.
3.16 Inspection at Contractor's Site: The State reserves the right to inspect, at any reasonable
time with prior notice, the equipment or product or plant or other facilities of a Contractor or
prospective Contractor (bidder) to assess conformity with Contract requirements and to
determine whether they are adequate and suitable for proper and effective Contract performance.
3.17 Safety Standards: All manufactured items and fabricated assemblies subject to operation
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

any point within thirty (30) days after the Customer places an Order. A Contractor, within five
(5) days after receiving a purchase order, shall notify the Customer of any potential delivery
delays. Evidence of inability to deliver or intentional delays shall be cause for Contract
cancellation and Contractor suspension.
3.20 Installation: Where installation is required, Contractor shall be responsible for placing and
installing the product in the required locations at no additional charge, unless otherwise
designated on the purchase order. Contractor's authorized product and price list shall clearly and
separately identify any additional installation charges. All materials used in the installation shall
be of good quality and shall be free of defects that would diminish the appearance of the product
or render it structurally or operationally unsound. Installation includes the furnishing of any
equipment, rigging, and materials required to install or replace the product in the proper
location. Contractor shall protect the site from damage and shall repair damages or injury caused
during installation by Contractor or its employees or agents. If any alteration, dismantling,
excavation, etc., is required to achieve installation, the Contractor shall promptly restore the
structure or site to its original condition. Contractor shall perform installation work so as to
cause the least inconvenience and interference with Customers and with proper consideration of
others on site. Upon completion of the installation, the location and surrounding area of work
shall be left clean and in a neat and unobstructed condition, with everything in satisfactory repair
and order.
3.21 Inspection and Acceptance: Inspection and acceptance shall be at destination unless
otherwise provided. For Contractor -installed products, the date of acceptance is the date the
Customer accepts the product as installed and in good working order, as determined by any
appropriate acceptance testing, and the Customer shall certify in writing to the Contractor when
the product is accepted (if training or other post -installation services are included in the purchase
order, the acceptance shall be conditional). For Customer -installed products, the date of
acceptance shall be the delivery date. Until acceptance, risk of loss or damage shall remain with
the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for filing, processing, and collecting all
damage claims. To assist the Contractor with damage claims, the Customer shall: record any
evidence of visible damage on all copies of the delivering carrier's Bill of Lading; report damage

Lading and damage inspection report. When a Customer rejects a product, Contractor shall
remove it from the premises within ten days after notification of rejection. Upon rejection
notification, the risk of loss of rejected or non -conforming product shall remain with the
Contractor. Rejected product not removed by the Contractor within ten days shall be deemed
abandoned by the Contractor, and the Customer shall have the right to dispose of it as its own
property. Contractor shall reimburse the Customer for costs and expenses incurred in storing or
effecting removal or disposition of rejected product.
3.22 Title to Deliverables: For purposes of this section, a "product" is any deliverable furnished

under the Contract, including but not limited to (1) components of the hardware environment, (2)
printed materials, (3) third -parry software, (4) programs and programming modifications,
customizations, tools, data, modules, and components, and (5) any tangible or intangible
properties embedded therein. A product is "existing" if it is a tangible or intangible licensed
product that exists before Contract work begins (the Contractor shall bear the burden of proving
that a product existed before work began). A product is "custom" if it is any product,
preliminary or final, that is created under the Contract for the Customer by the Contractor or its
employees, subcontractors, or agents.
For existing hardware products, title to a hardware product shall pass to Customer upon
written acceptance. For existing software products, that are normally commercially distributed
on a license basis by the Contractor or other independent software proprietary owner (ISPO),
whether or not embedded in, delivered, or operating in conjunction with hardware or a custom
product, title shall remain with the Contractor or ISPO. Effective upon acceptance, such product
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
will violate existing agreements or law) and distribute the product to authorized users up to the
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
Customer the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in the product, including all trademark
and copyrights, and the Contractor shall take all necessary and appropriate steps to ensure that
the products are protected against unauthorized copying, reproduction, or marketing through the
Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents; provided, that the Contractor may
otherwise use any related or underlying general knowledge, skills, ideas, concepts, techniques
and experience developed under the Contract. In the alternative to taking exclusive ownership
and title to such products, the Customer may elect, by pFoviding written notice to the Contractor,
to take a non-exclusive license to use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, and distribute the
product as described in the preceding paragraph.
3.23 Software License Grant: Where product is acquired on a licensed basis, the following
terms shall constitute the license grant.
Scope: Licensee is granted a non-exclusive license to use, execute, reproduce, display,
perform, or merge the product within its business enterprise in the United States up to the
maximum licensed capacity identified on the purchase order. The product may be accessed,
used, executed, reproduced, displayed, or performed up to the capacity measured by the
applicable licensing unit identified on the purchase order (i.e., payroll size, number of
employees, CPU, MIPS, MSU, concurrent user, workstation, etc.). Licensee shall have the right
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.

Term: The license term shall begin the date the product is accepted. Where a license
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
by type of license in the following amounts, unless otherwise agreed: for individual/named user,
one copy per licensee; for concurrent users, ten copies per site; for processing capacity, ten
copies per site. The master electronic copy shall be in either CD-ROM or diskette format and
usable without conversion (for example, if a unit has only a 3%" disk drive, software shall be
provided on 3'/Z" diskettes). The Contractor hereby grants the Customer a perpetual license right
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
product in accordance with the terms of the license.
Technical Support and Maintenance: Licensee may elect the technical support and
maintenance ("maintenance") set forth in the Contract by giving written notice to the Contractor
any time during the Contract term. Maintenance shall include, at a minimum, (1) providing error
corrections, patches, updates, revisions, fixes, upgrades, and new releases to licensee, and (2)
Help Desk assistance accessible via toll-free or local telephone call or on-line. The Contractor
shall maintain the products so as to provide licensee with the ability to use the products in
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
may at any later time reinstate maintenance without any penalties or other charges, by paying the
Contractor the amount, if any, that would have been due under the Contract for the period that
maintenance had lapsed, or for twelve months, whichever is less.
Transfers: Licensee's operations may be altered, expanded, or diminished. Licenses may
be transferred or combined for use at an alternative or consolidated site not originally specified
in the license, including transfers between agencies. Contractor approval is not required for such
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 NIPS) 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

such third party, site of intended use of the product, and means of access, (2) the third party has
executed, or agrees to execute, the product manufacturer's standard nondisclosure or restricted
use agreement, which agreement shall be accepted by the Contractor, and (3) the third party shall
maintain a logical or physical partition within its computer system to restrict access to the
program to that portion solely dedicated to beneficial use for licensee. Licensee shall not be
liable for any third parry's compliance or noncompliance with the terms of the nondisclosure
agreement, nor shall the nondisclosure agreement create or impose any liabilities on the State or
the licensee. Any third parry with whom a licensee has a relationship for a State function or
business activity shall have the temporary right to use product (e.g., Java applets), provided that
such use shall be limited to the period during which the third parry is using the product for the
function or activity.
Archival Backup: Licensee may use and copy the product and related documentation in
connection with reproducing a reasonable number of copies for archival backup and disaster
recovery procedures.
Source Code Escrow: If either the product manufacturer/developer or the Contractor
offers source code or source code escrow to any other commercial customer, or if either entity
seeks bankruptcy protection, then the Contractor shall either (1) provide licensee with source
code for the product, (2) place the source code in a third -parry escrow arrangement with a
designated escrow agent, which shall be identified to the Department, and which shall be
directed to release the deposited source code in accordance with a standard escrow agreement
acceptable to the Department, or (3) certify to the Department that the product
manufacturer/developer has named the State, acting by and through the Department, and the
licensee, as named beneficiaries of an established escrow arrangement with its designated escrow
agent, which shall be identified to the Department and licensee, and which shall be directed to
release the deposited source code in accordance with the terms of escrow. Source code, as well
as any corrections or enhancements, shall be updated for each new release of the product in the
same manner as provided above and such updated shall be certified in writing to the
Department. The Contractor shall identify the escrow agent upon commencement of the
Contract term and shall certify annually that the escrow remains in effect in compliance with the
terms of this paragraph. The State may release the source code to licensees under the Contract
which have licensed product or obtained services, and which may use the copy of the source
code to maintain the product.
Confidentiality: The product is a trade secret, copyrighted and propriety product.
Licensee and its employees shall not disclose or otherwise distribute or reproduce any product to
anyone other than as authorized under the Contract. Licensee shall not remove or destroy any of
the Contractor's proprietary markings.
Restricted Use: Except as expressly authorized by the terms of license, licensee shall not:
copy the product; cause or permit reverse compilation or reverse assembly of the product or any
portion; or export the product in violation of any U.S. Department of Commerce export
administration regulations.
Proof of License: The Contractor shall provide to each licensee that places a purchase
order either (1) the product developer's certified license confirmation certificates in the name of
the licensee or (2) a written confirmation from the proprietary owner accepting the product
invoice as a proof of license. The Contractor shall submit a sample certificate, or alternative
confirmation, which shall be in a form acceptable to the licensee. o2 _ 1236

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
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

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

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,

continued portion of the Contract, if any. The Contractor shall not be entitled to recover any
cancellation charges or lost profits.

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 Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages 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 Adjustment: 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
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

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.

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
