15. Invoicing and Payment. Invoices shall contain the Contract number, purchase order number if
applicable, and the appropriate vendor identification number. The State may require any other
information from the Contractor that the State deems necessary to verify any purchase order placed under
the Contract.
At the State's option, Contractors may be required to invoice electronically pursuant to guidelines of the
Department of Management Services. Current guidelines require that Contractor supply electronic
invoices in lieu of paper-based invoices for those transactions processed through the system. Electronic
invoices shall be submitted to the Customer through the Ariba Supplier Network (ASN) in one of the
following mechanisms—EDI 810,cXML,or web-based invoice entry within the ASN.
Payment shall be made in accordance with sections 215.422 and 287.0585 of the Florida Statutes,which
govern time limits for payment of invoices. Invoices that must be returned to a Contractor due to
preparation errors will result in a delay in 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.
16. 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. Any exceptions to this paragraph shall be explicitly noted by the Customer
in the special contract conditions section of the solicitation or in the Contract or purchase order.
17. Governmental Restrictions. If the Contractor believes that any governmental restrictions have been
imposed that require alteration of the material, quality, workmanship or performance of the products
offered under the Contract, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Customer in writing, indicating
the specific restriction. The Customer reserves the right and the complete discretion to accept any such
alteration or to cancel the Contract at no further expense to the Customer.
18. Lobbying and Integrity. Customers shall ensure compliance with Section 11.062, FS and Section
216.347, FS. 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 Customer'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:
http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/barm/genschedules/gensched.htm). 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
23
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.
19. 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,however,that the foregoing obligation shall not apply to a Customer's misuse or
modification of Contractor's products or a Customer's operation or use of Contractor's products in a
manner not contemplated by the Contract or the purchase order. 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 rental for past use. The customer shall
not be liable for any royalties.
The Contractor's obligations under the preceding two paragraphs with respect to any legal action are
contingent upon the State or Customer giving 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 any legal action
without the Contractor's prior written consent,which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
20. Limitation of Liability. For all claims against the Contractor under any contract or purchase order,
and regardless of the basis on which the claim is made, the Contractor's liability under a contract or
purchase order for direct damages shall be limited to the greater of$100,000, the dollar amount of the
contract or purchase order, or two times the charges rendered by the Contractor under the purchase order.
This limitation shall not apply to claims arising under the Indemnity paragraph contain in this agreement.
Unless otherwise specifically enumerated in the Contract or in the purchase order,no party shall be liable
to another for special, indirect,punitive, or consequential damages, including lost data or records (unless
the contract or 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.
21. Suspension of Work. The Customer may in its sole discretion suspend any or all activities under the
Contract or purchase order, at any time, when in the best interests of the State to do so. The Customer
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
24
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 Customer shall either (1) issue a notice authorizing resumption of work, at which time
activity shall resume, or (2) terminate the Contract or purchase order. Suspension of work shall not
entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation.
22. Termination for Convenience. The Customer, by written notice to the Contractor, may terminate
the Contract in whole or in part when the Customer determines in its sole discretion that it is in the State's
interest to do so. The Contractor shall not furnish any product 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.
23. Termination for Cause. The Customer may terminate the Contract if the Contractor fails to (1)
deliver the product 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), F.A.C., governs the procedure
and 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 products 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 Customer. The rights and remedies of the Customer in this clause are in addition to any other rights
and remedies provided by law or under the Contract.
24. 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. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract price or
payment of any kind from the Customer 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 Customer 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 Customer may (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from the
Contractor, provided that the Contractor grants preferential treatment to Customers with respect to
25
products subjected to allocation, 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.
25. Changes. The Customer 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 Customer 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
Customer may solicit separate bids to satisfy them.
26. Renewal. Upon mutual agreement, the Customer and the Contractor may renew the Contract, in
whole or in part, for a period that may not exceed 3 years or the term of the contract, whichever period is
longer. Any renewal shall specify the renewal price, as set forth in the solicitation response. The renewal
must be in writing and signed by both parties, and is contingent upon satisfactory performance
evaluations and subject to availability of funds.
27. Purchase Order Duration. Purchase orders issued pursuant to a state term or agency contract must
be received by the Contractor no later than close of business on the last day of the contract's term to be
considered timely. The Contractor is obliged to fill those orders in accordance with the contract's terms
and conditions. Purchase orders received by the contractor after close of business on the last day of the
state term or agency contract's term shall be considered void.
Purchase orders for a one-time delivery of commodities or performance of contractual services shall be
valid through the performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the state term or agency
contract shall apply to the single delivery/performance,and shall survive the termination of the Contract.
Contractors are required to accept purchase orders specifying delivery schedules exceeding the contracted
schedule even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the state term or agency
contract. For example, if a state term contract calls for delivery 30 days after receipt of order(ARO), and
an order specifies delivery will occur both in excess of 30 days ARO and after expiration of the state term
contract, the Contractor will accept the order. However, if the Contractor expressly and in writing
notifies the ordering office within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the purchase order that Contractor
will not accept the extended delivery terms beyond the expiration of the state term contract, then the
purchase order will either be amended in writing by the ordering entity within ten (10) calendar days of
receipt of the contractor's notice to reflect the state term contract delivery schedule, or it shall be
considered withdrawn.
The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliveries of commodities or performance of services shall
not exceed the expiration of the state term or agency contract by more than twelve months. However, if
an extended pricing plan offered in the state term or agency contract is selected by the ordering entity,the
contract terms on pricing plans and renewals shall govern the maximum duration of purchase orders
reflecting such pricing plans and renewals.
Timely purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor,
and all terms and conditions of the state term or agency contract shall apply to the recurring
delivery/performance as provided herein,and shall survive the termination of the Contract.
Ordering offices shall not renew a purchase order issued pursuant to a state term or agency contract if the
underlying contract expires prior to the effective date of the renewal.
26
28.Advertising. Subject to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Contractor shall not publicly disseminate
any information concerning the Contract without prior written approval from the Customer, including,but
not limited to mentioning the Contract in a press release or other promotional material, identifying the
Customer 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 or the 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.
29. Assignment. The Contractor shall not sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations
under the Contract,or under any purchase order issued pursuant to the Contract,without the prior written
consent of the Customer. In the event of any assignment, the Contractor remains secondarily liable for
performance of the contract, unless the Customer expressly waives such secondary liability. The
Customer may assign the Contract with prior written notice to Contractor of its intent to do so.
30. Antitrust Assignment. The Contractor and the State of Florida recognize that in actual economic
practice, overcharges resulting from antitrust violations are in fact usually borne by the State of Florida.
Therefore, the contractor hereby assigns to the State of Florida any and all claims for such overcharges as
to goods,materials or services purchased in connection with the Contract.
31. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute concerning performance of the Contract shall be decided by the
Customer's designated contract manager, who shall reduce the decision to writing and serve a copy on the
Contractor. The decision shall be final and conclusive unless within twenty one (21) days from the date
of receipt, the Contractor files with the Customer a petition for administrative hearing. The Customer's
decision on the petition shall be final, subject to the Contractor's right to review pursuant to Chapter 120
of the Florida Statutes. Exhaustion of administrative remedies is an absolute condition precedent to the
Contractor's ability to pursue any other form of dispute resolution; provided, however, that the parties
may employ the alternative dispute resolution procedures outlined in Chapter 120.
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 and the parties waive any right to jury trial.
32. 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 and shall comply
with all controlling laws and regulations relevant to the services they are providing under the Contract.
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.
33. Security and Confidentiality. The Contractor shall comply fully with all security procedures of the
United States, State of Florida 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
27
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.
34.Contractor Employees, Subcontractors, and Other Agents. The Customer and the State shall take
all actions necessary to ensure that Contractor's employees, subcontractors and other agents are not
employees of the State of Florida. Such actions include,but are not limited to, ensuring that Contractor's
employees, subcontractors, and other agents receive benefits and necessary insurance (health, workers'
compensations, and unemployment)from an employer other than the State of Florida.
35. 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. Providing and maintaining adequate insurance coverage is a material obligation of the Contractor.
Upon request,the Contractor shall provide certificate of insurance. 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 or eligible to write policies in
Florida.
36. Warranty of Authority. Each person signing the Contract warrants that he or she is duly authorized
to do so and to bind the respective party to the Contract.
37. Warranty of Ability to Perform. 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 notify the Customer in
writing if its ability to perform is compromised in any manner during the term of the Contract.
38. Notices. All notices required under the Contract shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt
requested,by reputable air courier service, or by personal delivery to the agency designee identified in the
original solicitation, or as otherwise identified by the Customer. Notices to the Contractor shall be
delivered to the person who signs the Contract. Either designated recipient may notify the other, in
writing,if someone else is designated to receive notice.
39. Leases and Installment Purchases. Prior approval of the Chief Financial Officer (as defined in
Section 17.001, F.S.) is required for State agencies to enter into or to extend any lease or installment-
purchase agreement in excess of the Category Two amount established by section 287.017 of the Florida
Statutes.
40. Prison Rehabilitative Industries and Diversified Enterprises, Inc. (PRIDE). Section 946.515(2),
F.S. requires the following statement to be included in the solicitation: "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 the provisions of the
Contract shall be deemed to be substituted for the agency insofar as dealings with such corporation are
28
concerned." Additional information about PRIDE and the products it offers is available at
http://www.pridefl.com.
41. Products Available from the Blind or Other Handicapped. Section 413.036(3), F.S. requires the

Statutes, in the same manner and under the same procedures set forth in section 413.036(1) and (2),

parties, which terms and conditions shall govern all transactions between the Customer and the
Contractor. The Contract may only be modified or amended upon mutual written agreement of the
Customer and the Contractor. No oral agreements or representations shall be valid or binding upon the
Customer or the Contractor. No alteration or modification of the Contract terms,including substitution of
product, shall be valid or binding against the Customer. 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. The 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.
43. Cooperative Purchasing. Pursuant to their own governing laws, and subject to the agreement of the
Contractor, other entities may be permitted to make purchases at the terms and conditions contained
herein. Non-Customer purchases are independent of the agreement between Customer and Contractor,
and Customer shall not be a party to any transaction between the Contractor and any other purchaser.
State agencies wishing to make purchases from this agreement are required to follow the provisions of s.
287.042(16)(a), F.S. This statute requires the Department of Management Services to determine that the
requestor's use of the contract is cost-effective and in the best interest of the State.
44. Waiver. The delay or failure by the Customer to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this
Contract shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of the Customer'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.
45. Annual Appropriations. The State's performance and obligation to pay under this contract are
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature.
46. 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.
47. Severability. 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.

shall submit plans addressing each of the State's five (5) objectives listed below, to the extent applicable
to the items/services covered by this solicitation.
1) One Florida Initiative: Florida is a state rich in its diversity. Governor Bush's One Florida
Initiative is dedicated to fostering the continued development and economic growth of small and
minority and women-owned businesses. Central to this initiative is the participation of a diverse
group of vendors doing business with the state.
To this end,it is vital that minority and women-owned business enterprises participate in the State's
procurement process as both prime contractors and subcontractors under prime contracts. Small
and minority and women-owned businesses are strongly encouraged to submit replies to this
solicitation.
To track the success of the One Florida Initiative,which has achieved substantial gains in extending
opportunity to minority- and women-owned businesses, the State of Florida maintains data to
establish benchmarks from which to measure supplier diversity in State contracting. Vendors who
contract with the state are obligated to provide information related to the use of minority- and
women-owned businesses and subcontractors.
The Contractor shall submit documentation addressing the Governor's One Florida Initiative and
describing the efforts being made to encourage the participation of small and minority and women-
owned businesses. Please refer to the Governor's"Equity in Contracting Plan"when preparing this
documentation:

�.html
Equity in Contracting documentation should identify any participation by diverse contractors and
suppliers as prime contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, resellers, distributors, or such other
participation as the parties may agree. Equity in Contracting documentation shall include the
timely reporting of spending with certified and other minority business enterprises. Such reports
must be submitted at least quarterly and include the period covered, the name, minority code and
Federal Employer Identification Number of each minority vendor utilized during the period,
commodities and services provided by the minority business enterprise, and the amount paid to
