4.4 FIRM PRICES. Prices shall be held firm throughout the term of the Contract.

5. SPECIFICATIONS

The apparent silence of the Specifications (including any supplemental Specifications) as to any detail, or the apparent omission of a detailed description concerning any point, shall be regarded as meaning that Contractor shall meet the highest standards prevalent in the industry or business most closely involved in providing the Goods and Services to be provided under the Contract.

The Specifications applicable to any Goods and Services provided under the Contract are set forth in Exhibit A to this Contract.

6.2 DELIVERY TERMS. All Goods shall be provided F.O.B. destination with all transportation and handling charges paid by Contractor, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by ODOT. Responsibility and liability for loss or damage shall remain with Contractor until final inspection and acceptance.

6.3 INSPECTIONS. Goods and Services furnished under this Contract shall be subject to inspection and test by ODOT at times and places determined by ODOT. ODOT may request to have a pre-delivery inspection at Contractor's location to ensure specification compliance PRIOR TO DELIVERY. If ODOT finds Goods and Services to be incomplete, not in compliance with Contract requirements, or deficient in any way, ODOT, at its sole discretion, may either reject the Goods and Services, require Contractor to correct any deficiencies without charge, or negotiate with Contractor to sell the Goods and Services to ODOT at a reduced price, whichever ODOT deems equitable under the circumstances. ODOT will provide written notice of any rejected Goods and Services that, at a minimum, itemizes the apparent deficiencies. If Contractor is unable or refuses to cure any deficiencies within a time deemed reasonable by ODOT, ODOT may reject the Goods and Services and cancel the Contract, the PO, or both, in whole or in part. Nothing in this paragraph shall in any way affect or limit ODOT’s rights as Buyer under the Uniform Commercial Code including but not limited to the rights and remedies relating to rejection under ORS 72.6020 and revocation of acceptance under ORS 72.6080. ODOT’s review, approval or acceptance of, or payment for, the Goods and Services required under the Contract shall not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under the Contract or of any cause of action arising out of the Contractor’s performance, and Contractor shall be and shall remain liable to ODOT in accordance with applicable law for all damages to ODOT caused by Contractor’s performance or failure of any of the Goods furnished under the Contract.

6.4 INVOICES. Contractor shall submit invoice(s) to ODOT’s Contract Administrator listed on page 1 after ODOT’s acceptance of Goods and Services provided under this Contract.

6.5.2 Direct Deposit via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). For Contractors that receive ongoing monthly payments from ODOT on one or more contracts or price agreements, ODOT prefers making payments via ACH direct deposit.

As required by ORS 279B.235, Contractor must comply with ORS 652.220 and shall not unlawfully discriminate against any of Contractor’s employees in the payment of wages or other compensation for work of comparable character on the basis of an employee’s membership in a protected class. “Protected class” means a group of persons distinguished by race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability, or age. Contractor’s compliance with this section constitutes a material element of this Contract and a failure to comply constitutes a breach that entitles ODOT to terminate this Contract for cause.

b. Employee Discussions Regarding Compensation. As required by ORS 279B.235, Contractor may not prohibit any of its employees from discussing the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits or other compensation with another employee or another person and may not retaliate against an employee who discusses the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits or other compensation with another employee or another person.

a. Contractor has the power and authority to enter into and perform the Contract and that such Contract and any POs entered into under the PA, when executed and delivered, shall be valid and binding obligations of Contractor enforceable in accordance with their terms.

c. Contractor is duly licensed to provide the Goods and Services specified in the Contract, and if there is no licensing requirement, Contractor is duly qualified and competent to perform in accordance with the highest standards prevalent in the industry or business most closely involved in providing the Goods and Services to be provided under the Contract.

Contractor shall be responsible for completing and processing any warranty registration paperwork required by manufacturer. If a conflict or inconsistency exists between a manufacturer’s warranty and Contractor’s warranty, the warranty that provides the greatest benefit and protection to State shall prevail.

f. Contractor has no undisclosed liquidated and delinquent debt owed to the State or any department or agency of the State.

6.6.2 Warranties Cumulative. The warranties set forth in this section are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other warranties provided in the Contract.

iii. Pursue any or all of the remedies available under the Contract, at law, or in equity.

c. These remedies are cumulative to the extent the remedies are not inconsistent, and ODOT may pursue any remedy or remedies singly, collectively, successively, or in any order whatsoever, to the extent the remedies are not inconsistent.

6.7.2 Contractor's Remedies. In the event ODOT terminates the Contract either Section 6.8.2 or 6.8.3, or in the event ODOT is in default of a material provision of the Contract and whether or not Contractor elects to exercise its right to terminate the Contract under Section 6.8.4, Contractor's sole remedy shall be (a) a claim against ODOT for the unpaid price for any Goods delivered and accepted by ODOT, (b) with respect to Services compensable on an hourly basis, a claim against ODOT for unpaid invoices, hours worked but not yet billed, and authorized expenses for Services completed and accepted by ODOT, or (c) with respect to deliverable-based Services, a claim against ODOT for the sum designated for completing the deliverable multiplied by the percentage of Work completed and accepted by ODOT, less previous amounts paid and any claim(s) which State has against Contractor.

No waiver, consent, modification or change of terms of the Contract (collectively, "Amendment") shall bind either Party unless it is in writing and signed by both Parties and all necessary approvals have been obtained. Amendments shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. The failure of ODOT to enforce any provision of the Contract shall not constitute a waiver by ODOT of that or any other provision. The characterization of provisions of the Contract as material provisions or the failure to comply with certain provisions as a material breach of the Contract shall in no way be construed to mean that any other provisions of the Contract are not material or that failure to comply with any other provisions is not a material breach of the Contract.

6.29 CERTIFIED SMALL BUSINESSES. Respecting certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise, minority-owned business, woman-owned business, business that a service-disabled veteran owns or an emerging small business under ORS 200.055, as and when applicable, the Contractor shall maintain the certifications, and require in its subcontracts that subcontractors maintain the certifications required by ORS 279A.107 as a material condition of the Contract. If the Contractor or subcontractor was awarded the Contract or subcontract, as applicable, in the course of ODOT carrying out an affirmative action goal, policy or program under ORS 279A.100, and Contractor or subcontractor fails to maintain the required certification, ODOT may terminate the Contract, require the Contractor to terminate the subcontractor, or exercise any of remedies reserved for breach of the Contract (except as provided under ORS 279A.107(2)(c)).
