Appendix C Vendors Acceptance of the SCC Terms and Conditions RFP-SSA-FY26-0522 Community Living Connection_1.docx

This document is an Appendix to an RFP issued by the County of Santa Clara Social Services Agency's Department of Aging and Adult Services for the Community Living Connection program. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to provide case management and related services to high-risk older and disabled adults in Santa Clara County, enabling them to maintain independent living. The County anticipates awarding a contract with an initial term of one year and the option to renew for up to four additional years, subject to satisfactory performance and continued funding.

Appendix C requires vendors to accept or object to the County's standard terms and conditions as outlined in RFP Section VIII and the Sample Agreement (Attachment A). Vendors must initial either Statement 1 and 2 (accepting County terms and conditions as written) or Statement 3 (objecting to specific provisions and proposing alternative language with supporting justification). Failure to initial defaults to acceptance of the County's terms as presented. The County will not accept general references to vendor terms or complete substitutions of its standard agreement language and reserves the right to disqualify proposals that do not comply with these requirements.
