26. TRADE-INS
Trade-ins are not included in this contract but will be considered as Open Market items and not subject to the Multiple Award Schedule contract. ABM will pick up and remove any trade-in equipment upon request at the local prevailing transportation rates on an Open Market basis.
27. EXCLUSIONS
ABM reserves the right to return orders requiring installation in remote areas not readily or adequately service by ABM.
28. OPEN MARKET
Orders not issued as stated in this catalog will be Open Market and as such, this contract number may not be used. No deviations from terms and conditions specified in this schedule are authorized.
29. METER READINGS - DATA COLLECTION AGENT
SOFTWARE
The remote data collection process is recommended as the most efficient method of collecting data from covered devices as this provides for highly secure, accurate remote collection of the meter reads for all covered devices being utilized on the network. A requirement of this functionality is that all devices are on the network and available to the DCA (Data Collection Agent). The software is secure and offers NO threat to network security. It operates through outbound communication only and communicates to the printing devices through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
Installing the DCA is coordinated through the key operator POC and requires minimal effort.
30. METER READINGS - MANUAL PROCESS
The Manual process provides for meter readings at sites where security prohibits the use of software monitoring. This process does not offer the most optimal method for servicing devices but can be set up in select environments. ABM’s Manual process requires the coordination with agency representatives to gather the device configuration page data and submit monthly. In the event a meter reading is not provided on a timely basis, ABM may estimate the meter.
ABM Federal is registered and active in SAM http://www.section508.gov/

The breaching party shall have 30 days from the receipt of notice to cure the alleged breach and to notify the non-breaching party in writing that cure has been effected. If the breach is not cured within the 30 day time period, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement effective upon receipt of notice to terminate. Upon Termination of this Agreement for cause Contractor will remove the Monitoring Software from the Agency’s network and the services shall be terminated immediately.

III. FORCE MAJEURE Neither party shall be liable in damages or have the right to terminate this
Agreement for any delay or default in performing hereunder (other than for delay in the payment of money due and payable hereunder) if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its control including, but not limited to Acts of God, Government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export or other necessary license), wars, insurrections and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party whose performance is affected. The party experiencing the difficulty shall give the other prompt notice with full details following the occurrence of the cause.

VI. TRACKING SOFTWARE
A. If Tracking Software is involved, Contractor shall be granted Permission to Install and Maintain Tracking Software. Contractor’s software (“Tracking Software”) enables monitoring the usage of, and the copy count produced on, the Equipment. Ordering Agency agrees that the Tracking Software must be installed on one or more of the Ordering Agency’s computer networked station(s) and the Contractor will coordinate the installation with the Ordering Agency’s designated management representative. Generally the Tracking Software can be installed by the Agency’s Information Services staff by way of a CD and instructions provided to the Agency by the Contractor; however, should it become necessary for the Contractor to install the Tracking Software, the scheduling of time will be coordinated through the Agency’s IT Department or CIO office. Ordering Agency agrees to provide Contractor, access to Agency’s computer-networked station(s) to enable Contractor to upgrade, modify or maintain the Tracking Software or to install new releases or additions to the Tracking Software. Under no circumstances will the Tracking Software provide Contractor access to Government information other than information directly related to this Contract. Ordering Agency agrees to not delete or remove the Tracking Software or to alter, modify or otherwise render it unusable during the term of this Contract without the prior written consent of Contractor.
B. No License, other Prohibitions. Nothing herein shall be construed as granting a license to Ordering Agency for the use of the Tracking Software. Ordering Agency may not, nor permit or cause any other person to (a) use or copy the Tracking Software, in whole or in part, in any manner,
(b) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or dissemble the Tracking Software, (c) rent, lease, loan, resell, distribute, use in a customer-server network to provide third parties access to, or otherwise transfer the Tracking Software, or (d) remove any proprietary notices on the Tracking Software.
C. Intellectual Property Rights. All rights (including all intellectual property rights, whether recognized currently or in the future) in and to the Tracking Software (including any source code, executable code, object code, tools and/or libraries related to the Tracking Software) will at all times be owned by Contractor. No modifications and/or use by Ordering Agency of the Tracking Software shall under any circumstances transfer any right, title or interest in or to the Tracking Software to the Ordering Agency or any third party.
D. Tracking Software Warranty, Liability. Ordering Agency acknowledges that the Tracking Software will be installed on Government networked workstation(s) “as is” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Contractor does not warrant that the Tracking Software will be error free or will operate without interruption. Contractor shall in no event be liable to Ordering Agency or any third party for any special, consequential, incidental or indirect damages in connection with the Tracking Software. If the software is found to cause issues on the Ordering Agency’s network and these issues can be reasonably associated to the installation of the software through uniform software testing and tracing methodologies, our liability will be limited to the removal of said Tracking Software from Ordering Agency’s environment. If the Tracking Software fails due to no fault of the Government Agency or Contractor, the Government Agency is not responsible for paying fees to manually collect meter readings.

INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
WHERE APPLICABLE, DAMAGES FOR LOSS TO OR DESTRUCTION OF COMPUTER
CODE, DATA OR INFORMATION, LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY
LOSSES OR DAMAGES) ARISING FROM THE INSTALLATION, USE, OPERATION OF,
OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING
DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES IS TO BE CONSTRUED AS INDEPENDENT OF THE
LIMITATION OF REMEDIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CONTRACTOR’S
ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND GOVERNMENTS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
MONETARY REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DEMANDS, WHETHER
FOUNDED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, OR ANY
OTHER LEGAL THEORY, ARISING FROM GOVERNMENTS INSTALLATION,

ABM Federal Managed Print Solutions
Scope and Description of Services
• Purpose - ABM Federal offers our ABM Federal – Managed Print Solutions program under SIN 541611MPS. As a solution provider, ABM’s, Managed Print Services Offering combines Best in Class elements from our strategic go to market alliances. The primary alliance partners are Supplies Network, our sister company, utilizing their Carbon Six program and multiple OEM’s including Hewlett-Packard, Lexmark, Dell and others. These exclusive partner agreements enable ABM to blend fleet and workflow efficiencies to assist our customers in achieving their overall print output objectives.
• Goal - The primary goal of the ABM Federal-Managed Print Services (MPS) Program is helping our customers gain control of their office printing costs and provide measurable economies. The following process improvements facilitate achievement of this primary goal.
• Cost Containment - Studies predict that office print usage will grow by 5.5% this year. The alarming number behind this statistic is that color printing is forecast to grow at 18.5%. Color prints cost 5-10 times that of black and white. The ABM Federal Program provides predictable costs through scheduled monthly billing, pay only what you print, reduced redundant acquisition costs, decreased miscellaneous supply purchases, reduced inventory storage requirements, etc.
• Management Control – The ABM Federal Program provides visibility across a print infrastructure to understand who, what, and where documents are printed and by what devices. Having actionable data enables customers to make informed decisions about reducing overall costs in their printing environments. This visibility across mixed fleets combined with the ability to analyze user data provides the level of granularity essential to implementing comprehensive printing strategies that improve workflows and reduce overall costs.
o One process improvement example being: Develop and implement a universal printing policy that includes forced duplexing, redirected print, selectable print to least expensive devices, etc.
Implementing just one of these policies across a print infrastructure has proven to provide substantial savings.
• Standardization – ABM Federal has a system to ensure continuous productivity. Very few things inhibit office productivity more than a printer that is out of service. Many of the companies we serve initially had many different brands and models of printers. That meant that it was nearly impossible to stock all of the required toner, manage all of the print drivers and coordinate service with multiple vendors. ABM Federal consultants provide expertise in optimizing print infrastructures through development of printer standards, recommendations for device placements, user productivity, energy reduction, universal print policy guidance, etc.
The ABM Federal Business Unit delivers both the 541611MPS Managed Print Services and Needs Assessment and Analysis Services. ABM Federal has built on its knowledge and expertise in supply and distribution management, asset management, fleet configuration design and exceptional customer services capabilities to offer a comprehensive Managed Print Services Program.

Under a SOW (statement of work) level of effort based pricing model, ABM incorporates its CPI pricing with devices included or not and develops implementation schedules based upon objectives defined in a SOW. We recognize that most organizations are at various stages of evaluating their Printing/Imaging Infrastructures and may need to balance budgets and objectives to achieve their cost savings, environmental initiatives and workflow efficiencies. ABM Federal’s Program spans the spectrum from a basic entry level Print Management System with turn-key toner replenishment to a fully Managed Output Service incorporating workflow efficiencies, device optimization, and flexible financing to gain complete control of print output costs across an enterprise.
Needs Assessment & Analysis
Our Assessment methodology is aimed at establishing specific achievement objectives based upon Agency initiatives and goals. The most critical step towards optimizing a fleet and increasing worker productivity understands the current state of the print output environment. Once a baseline is established a print output strategy can be developed that includes Device and Workflow optimizations. ABM’s Standard Scope Assessment begins with discovering the Fleet and providing that visibility into the current state. ABM provides Needs Assessment and Analysis services to help Federal Agencies formulate document output strategies for future implementation.
ABM’s Assessment Components included in Standard Scope of Work - Fleet Discovery at the per device pricing model.
• Scope Meeting - Establish Customer objectives – Centralized Device Management, Fleet Optimization, etc.
• Fleet Discovery – Data collection utilizing remote software and manual USB tools.
• Site Surveys – Record device placements, space requirements, device health
• Data Analysis – Document current state environment
• Present Findings - Provide documentation for current state environment, make recommendations for future state improvements based upon customer objectives established in Scope meeting.
ABM offers this service as a Per Device Pricing Model for the Standard Scope of Fleet Discovery. (MPS Specialist performs the work, hourly rate does not apply.

ABM offers Extended Scope Services and pricing for Future State Design, Workflow Analysis, TCO Analysis, Secure Printing Solution Design, Carbon Footprints Reduction Strategies, etc. These are priced and offered under a SOW identifying resources and level of effort and billed at the applicable hourly rate.
Travel expenses are not included in the hourly rates.
ABM Federal is a comprehensive Managed Print Services program that empowers our customers with the ability to gain control of office printing costs across multi-vendor environments while maintaining maximum uptime efficiencies, high print quality, and optimal workflows.
Our methodology emerges from a device (printer, copier, and scanner) independent view. Today’s exceptional device technology facilitates the ability to look beyond the device to the printing/imaging system as a whole and optimize the complete system. This printing system is comprised of the device, the user and the document and the ABM Federal program incorporates optimization throughout this print system.
As a Solution Provider, we can offer multi-vendor options that merge Best in Class hardware and software capabilities to meet the distinct missions and objectives of our Federal Agency Customers. Our OEM Elite status partnerships with HP, Lexmark, Dell, Canon, Xerox, and others enable ABM to optimize, manage, and improve on a broad range of printing environments. The backbone of ABM’s ABM Federal offering currently has over 75,000 devices under management providing auto-toner replenishment and break fix services to the commercial marketplace. Beginning with the assessment process the print output objectives and fleet specific needs are established to create a baseline for print optimization. This process is a continuum with ongoing planned improvements included in an overall print strategy.
