(b) Within 30 Business Days following the State’s receipt of a Change Proposal, the State will by written notice to Contractor, approve, reject, or propose modifications to such Change Proposal. If the State proposes modifications, Contractor must modify and re-deliver the Change Proposal reflecting such modifications, or notify the State of any disagreement, in which event the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreement. Upon the State’s approval of the Change Proposal or the parties’ agreement on all proposed modifications, as the case may be, each parties’ Contractor Administrator will sign a Change Notice.,
(c) However, if the parties fail to enter into a Change Notice within 15 Business Days following the State’s response to a Change Proposal, the State may, in its discretion:
(i) require Contractor to perform or provide the Deliverables under the existing Statement of Work without the Change;
(ii) require Contractor to continue to negotiate a Change Notice;
(iii) initiate a Dispute Resolution Procedure; or
(iv) notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in a Statement of Work, terminate this Contract under Subsection 16.1.
(d) No Change will be effective until the parties have executed a Change Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Statement of Work or Change Notice executed after the Effective Date will construed to amend or modify this Contract in any way, unless it specifically states its intent to do so and cites the section or sections amended. Except as the State may request in its Change Request or otherwise in writing, Contractor must continue to perform its obligations in accordance with a Statement of Work pending negotiation and execution of a Change Notice. Contractor will use its best efforts to limit any delays or Fee increases from any Change to those necessary to perform the Change in accordance with the applicable Change Notice. Each party is responsible for its own costs and expenses of preparing, evaluating, negotiating, and otherwise processing any Change Request, Change Proposal, and Change Notice.
(e)The performance of any functions, activities, tasks, obligations, roles and responsibilities comprising the Services as described in this Contract are considered part of the Services and, thus, will not be considered a Change.
This includes the delivery of all Deliverables in accordance with their respective Specifications, and the diagnosis and correction of Nonconformities discovered in Deliverables prior to their Acceptance by the State or, subsequent to their Acceptance by the State, as necessary for Contractor to fulfill its associated warranty requirements and its Support Services under this Contract.
(f) Contractor may, on its own initiative and at its own expense, prepare and submit its own Change Request to the State. However, the State will be under no obligation to approve or otherwise respond to a Change Request initiated by Contractor.
2.3 Contractor Personnel.
(a) Contractor is solely responsible for all Contractor Personnel and for the payment of their compensation, including, if applicable, withholding of income taxes, and the payment and withholding of social security and other payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance payments and disability benefits.
(b) Prior to any Contractor Personnel performing any Services, Contractor will:
(i) ensure that such Contractor Personnel have the legal right to work in the United States;
(ii) upon request, require such Contractor Personnel to execute written agreements, in form and substance acceptable to the State, that bind such Contractor Personnel to confidentiality provisions that are at least as protective of the State’s information (including all Confidential Information) as those contained in this Contract; and
(iii) upon request, or as otherwise specified in a Statement of Work, perform background checks on all Contractor Personnel prior to their assignment. The scope is at the discretion of the State and documentation must be provided as requested. Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with the requested background checks. The State, in its sole discretion, may also perform background checks. Pursuant to Michigan law, all agencies subject to IRS Pub. 1075 are required to ask the Michigan State Police to perform fingerprint background checks on all employees, including Contractor and subcontractor employees, who may have access to any database of information maintained by the federal government that contains confidential or personal information, including, but not limited to, federal tax information. Further, pursuant to Michigan law, any agency described above is prohibited from providing Contractors or subcontractors with the result of such background check. For more information, please see Michigan Public Act 427 of 2018.
(c) Contractor and all Contractor Personnel will comply with all rules, regulations, and policies of the State that are communicated to Contractor in writing, including security procedures concerning systems and data and remote access, building security procedures, including the restriction of access by the State to certain areas of its premises or systems, and general health and safety practices and procedures.
(d) The State reserves the right to require the removal of any Contractor Personnel found, in the judgment of the State, to be unacceptable. The State’s request must be written with reasonable detail outlining the reasons for the removal request. Replacement personnel for the removed person must be fully qualified for the position. If the State exercises this right, and Contractor cannot immediately replace the removed personnel, the State agrees to negotiate an equitable adjustment in schedule or other terms that may be affected by the State’s required removal.
2.4 Contractor Project Manager. Throughout the Term of this Contract, Contractor must maintain a Contractor employee acceptable to the State to serve as Contractor Project Manager, who will be considered Key Personnel of Contractor.
(a) Contractor Project Manager must:
(i) have the requisite authority, and necessary skill, experience, and qualifications, to perform in such capacity;
(ii) be responsible for overall management and supervision of Contractor’s performance under this Contract; and
(iii) be the State’s primary point of contact for communications with respect to this Contract, including with respect to giving and receiving all day-to-day approvals and consents.
(b) Contractor Project Manager must attend all regularly scheduled meetings as set forth in the Implementation Plan and will otherwise be available as set forth in a Statement of Work.
(c) Contractor will maintain the same Contractor Project Manager throughout the Term of this Contract, unless:
(i) the State requests in writing the removal of Contractor Project Manager;
(ii) the State consents in writing to any removal requested by Contractor in writing;
(iii) Contractor Project Manager ceases to be employed by Contractor, whether by resignation, involuntary termination or otherwise.
(d) Upon the occurrence of any event set forth in Subsections 2.4(c)(i-iii) above, Contractor will promptly replace its Contractor Project Manager. Such replacement will be subject to the State's prior written approval.
2.5 Contractor’s Key Personnel.
(a) The State has the right to recommend and approve in writing the initial assignment, as well as any proposed reassignment or replacement, of any Key Personnel. Before assigning an individual to any Key Personnel position, Contractor will notify the State of the proposed assignment, introduce the individual to the State Program Managers or their designees, and provide the State with a resume and any other information about the individual reasonably requested by the State. The State reserves the right to interview the individual before granting written approval. In the event the State finds a proposed individual unacceptable, the State will provide a written explanation including reasonable detail outlining the reasons for the rejection.
(b) Contractor will not remove any Key Personnel from their assigned roles on this Contract without the prior written consent of the State. The Contractor’s removal of Key Personnel without the prior written consent of the State is an unauthorized removal (“Unauthorized Removal”). An Unauthorized Removal does not include replacing Key Personnel for reasons beyond the reasonable control of Contractor, including illness, disability, leave of absence, personal emergency circumstances, resignation, or for cause termination of the Key Personnel’s employment. Any Unauthorized Removal may be considered by the State to be a material breach of this Contract.
(c) It is further acknowledged that an Unauthorized Removal will interfere with the timely and proper completion of this Contract, to the loss and damage of the State, and that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine and remedy the actual damage sustained by the State as a result of any
Unauthorized Removal. Therefore, Contractor and the State agree that in the case of any Unauthorized Removal in respect of which the State does not elect to exercise its rights under Section 16, Contractor will issue to the State an amount equal to $25,000 per individual (each, an “Unauthorized Removal Credit”).
(d) Contractor acknowledges and agrees that each of the Unauthorized Removal Credits assessed under Subsection 2.5(c) above: (i) is a reasonable estimate of and compensation for the anticipated or actual harm to the State that may arise from the Unauthorized Removal, which would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate; and (ii) may, at the State’s option, be credited or set off against any Fees or other charges payable to Contractor under this Contract.2.6 Subcontractors. Contractor must obtain prior written approval of the State, which consent may be given or withheld in the State’s sole discretion, before engaging any Permitted Subcontractor to provide Services to the State under this Contract.
Third parties otherwise retained by Contractor to provide Contractor or other clients of contractor with services are not Permitted Subcontractors, and therefore do not require prior approval by the State. Engagement of any subcontractor or Permitted Subcontractor by Contractor does not relieve Contractor of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Contract. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor will:
(a) be responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of each such subcontractor (including such Permitted Subcontractor and Permitted Subcontractor's employees who, to the extent providing Deliverables, will be deemed Contractor Personnel) to the same extent as if such acts or omissions were by Contractor or its employees;
(b) name the State a third-party beneficiary under Contractor’s Contract with each Permitted Subcontractor with respect to the Services;
(c) be responsible for all fees and expenses payable to, by or on behalf of each Permitted Subcontractor in connection with this Contract, including, if applicable, withholding of income taxes, and the payment and withholding of social security and other payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation insurance payments and disability benefits; and
(d) notify the State of the location of the Permitted Subcontractor and indicate if it is located within the continental United States.
3. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Contract must be in writing and will be considered given and received: (a) when verified by written receipt if sent by courier; (b) when actually received if sent by mail without verification of receipt; or (c) when verified by automated receipt or electronic logs if sent by facsimile or email.
