In the event that the rest area or one of the rest areas specified in this IFB is to be closed for a period of more than two weeks for any reason (such as fire, vandalism, sewage or water system problems, highway construction, rest area renovation, reduction of funding, etc.) it is agreed by the parties that, upon written notification by email from the DEPARTMENT to the CONTRACTOR, payments provided for in the resulting purchase order, will be discontinued starting two weeks after the date of postmark.

If the notification of closure falls between monthly payment periods the amount due will be prorated based upon the monthly rate and the number of days worked prior to the date payment will be discontinued.

When the rest area becomes operational, payment will commence from the first day the services are rendered. If services are provided for less than one full month, payment will be for the number of days worked based on the monthly rate.

If this IFB is for maintenance services on a dual rest area and only one facility is taken out of service, payments will be reduced by 1/3, based upon the monthly rate.

1.14. CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES

If the Contractor believes that additional compensation is due them for work or material not clearly covered in the contract, or not ordered as extra work, as defined herein, they shall prosecute their claim in the following manner.

Prior to doing the work on which they believe additional compensation is due them, the Contractor shall notify the Division Maintenance Chief in writing of their intent to file a claim. If such notification is not given, and the Division Maintenance Chief is not afforded the opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual costs, as required, then the Contractor shall thereby waive their right to any claim for such additional compensation.

At a minimum, the detailed letter shall include a narration of events, citing of entitlement, and a showing of the amount of compensation and/or adjustment of time believed due. Full documentation for all elements in the letter shall be included. The claim will be considered and a determination made by the Division Maintenance Chief who will notify the Contractor of the decision in writing.

The Division Maintenance Chief's decision will be final and conclusive unless, within 30 days from receipt of the Division Maintenance Chief's letter, the Contractor appeals in writing to the Chief of the Procurement Services Section in Helena. All pertinent information, references, arguments and data to support the claim shall be included. The Procurement Services Section Supervisor, along with the Maintenance Division Administrator, will review the claim and notify the Contractor by certified mail of the decision. This decision will be final and conclusive upon the State and the Contractor, unless subsequently changed by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Contractor shall exhaust their administrative remedies in the manner provided herein prior to the further pursuing their claim as prescribed by law.

In connection with any appeal proceeding under this subsection, the Contractor will be afforded an opportunity to be heard and offer evidence in support of their claim at any level of review. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder the Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of the resulting purchase order and in accordance with the Division Maintenance Chief's decision.

1.15. COMPLIANCE

If the Department registers a formal and written complaint with the Contractor in respect to undesirable or unsanitary conditions in this rest area, the Contractor will have 24 hours in which to respond in person to the complaint, at the Miles City Maintenance Division office to remedy the problems. Failure to respond in the prescribed time to the complaint or to remedy the problem may result in termination of the resulting purchase order as provided in Section 1.16 TERMINATION.

If the Department is not satisfied with the results and remediation of the complaint, the Department may require periodic and joint inspections of the rest area with the Contractor to discuss and point out Contractor violations. Failure of the Contractor to attend these inspections may result in termination of the resulting purchase order.

1.16. TERMINATION

The resulting Purchase Order may be terminated for failure to provide the services or accomplish work enumerated herein. Upon receiving written notice from the DEPARTMENT, the CONTRACTOR has 24 hours to cure the failure; the CONTRACTOR'S failure to cure the failure within the time allowed will be grounds for the immediate termination of the resulting Purchase Order.

The resulting purchase order may be terminated by the DEPARTMENT without cause; the party DEPARTMENT must give written notice of intention to do so to the CONTRACTOR at least thirty (30) days prior to effective day of termination, unless immediate termination is necessary.

If the Contractor fails to provide services required by the resulting purchase order or such services within the time specified herein or any extension thereof, the Department may, by written notice of default to the Contractor, cancel the whole or any part of the resulting purchase order upon written notice.

The Department may, upon finding that the Contractor is not in compliance with any law or regulation, or applicable licensure and certification requirement, cancel the resulting purchase order upon written notice to the Contractor.

The above remedies are in addition to any other remedies provided by law or the terms on the resulting purchase order.

Due to requirements of Federal labor laws, individuals who are presently a Montana State employee will not be considered for potential award of the resulting Purchase Order. A successful bidder who, during the post-bid period or during the term of the resulting Purchase Order, becomes a Montana State employee, must immediately notify in writing the DEPARTMENT'S Procurement Services Section. CONTRACTOR agrees that, if it becomes a Montana State employee during those periods, or if it hires anyone to perform more than 50% of the work under the resulting Purchase Order who is a Montana State employee, the resulting Purchase Order is subject to immediate termination.

Should the Contractor neglect to prosecute the work properly, or fail to perform any provision of the resulting purchase order, the Department, after seven days' written notice to the Contractor, may, without prejudice to any other remedy they may have, make good the deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from the payment then or thereafter due to the Contractor or, at its option, may terminate the resulting purchase order and take possession of all materials, tools, fixtures, and finish the work by such means as the Department sees fit, and if the unpaid balance of the resulting purchase order price exceeds the expense of finishing the work, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor, but if such expense exceeds such unpaid balance, the Contractor or their surety shall pay the difference to the Department.

1.17. PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS

The making and acceptance of payment for work, or material replacement, performed by the Contractor shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor, other than those arising from faulty work and of all or any claims by the Contractor previously made and unsettled.
