About this file
This is a Technology Purchase Agreement form between the City of St. Petersburg, Florida and a contractor for the provision of an Energy Management Software platform. The agreement establishes a comprehensive framework for implementing an advanced software solution to centralize the City's oversight of municipal utility accounts. The system must automatically integrate with utility provider billing systems to provide real-time consumption data and historical usage trends, with alert capabilities for overconsumption and abnormal usage patterns. The platform must include robust project management capabilities for energy efficiency initiatives, integration with existing City infrastructure including solar panels and electric vehicle chargers, and scalable graphical data displays with forecasting abilities. The agreement consists of an Implementation Term during which the contractor delivers the system, followed by an Initial Usage Term of specified duration and potential successive Renewal Usage Terms, with time being of the essence for all contractual deadlines and milestones.
The agreement establishes fees through a comprehensive Implementation Fee covering all implementation services, hardware, licenses, and hosting services during the implementation period, plus recurring annual Usage Fees during each usage term that cover licensing, hosting, and support services. Usage Fee increases are limited to three percent annually and require 90 days' notice to accommodate City Council legislative approval. The contractor must provide commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, commercial automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit, cyber liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and technology errors and omissions insurance of $1,000,000. The contractor is responsible for all hosting infrastructure redundancy and disaster recovery planning, with mandatory geographically remote secondary hosting facilities capable of activation within one minute of primary facility failure. The City retains all intellectual property rights in its data and content, and the contractor assumes full indemnification obligations for third-party claims, security issues, and regulatory compliance violations.

ARTICLE 2
FEES
2.1 Fees, Generally. The City shall pay the Contractor through the combination of an Imple-mentation Fee and a Usage Fee, as each is defined below. The amount and schedule for payment of each Fee is stated in the Fee Schedule, and the City has no obligation to pay any Fee that exceeds the amount shown in the Fee Schedule or to pay any Fee more frequently than shown in the Fee Schedule. The amount of each Fee (and any other dollar amount set forth in the Agreement) is stated in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated.
2.2 Implementation Fee. During the Implementation Term, the City shall pay the Contractor a comprehensive fee (the “Implementation Fee”) that covers all of the following: (i) any Imple-mentation Services; (ii) any Hardware; (iii) any aspect of the License that is perpetual; (iv) any aspect of the License that is limited to the Implementation Term; and (v) any Hosting Service provided during the Implementation Term. The Implementation Fee may not exceed the total amount shown in the Fee Schedule.
2.3 Usage Fee.
(a) During each Usage Term, the City shall pay the Contractor a recurring fee (the “Usage Fee”) that covers all of the following: (i) any aspect of the License that is limited to that Term; (ii) all Hosting Services during that Term; and (iii) all Support Services during that Term. During the Initial Usage Term, the Usage Fee may not exceed the annual amount shown in the Fee Schedule.
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 7 of 38
(b) Any increase in Usage Fees is subject to the following:
(1) The Contractor acknowledges (i) that increasing Usage Fees may require approval by the St. Petersburg City Council, which is a time-consuming, legislative process;
(ii) that failure to provide the City with sufficient notice to accommodate that pro-cess could prevent the City for obtaining the funding necessary to renew the Agreement; and (iii) that non-renewal due to an unexpected increase in Usage Fees would result in termination of the Agreement that would be abrupt, unplanned, and likely to cause significant damage to the City. Accordingly, the Contractor waives its right to increase the Usage Fee for an upcoming Usage Term unless the Contrac-tor notifies the City of the proposed increase at least 90 days before the start of the applicable Renewal Usage Term.
(2) The Contractor shall not propose any increase to the Usage Fee that would exceed 3% or that would result in a Usage Fee that exceeds the Contractor’s then-current rate for comparable software and services.
2.4 Scope of Fees. Each Fee must include all out-of-pocket expenses required to comply with the terms of the Agreement, including transportation, mileage, lodging, meals. Except as specifi-cally provided by the Agreement, the Contractor shall, at no additional cost to the City, furnish all tools, equipment, apparatus, facilities, transportation, labor, and material necessary to furnish all Services, and the City shall not reimburse the Contractor for any out-of-pocket expenses unless specifically provided for in the Agreement. Except as provided in subsection 1.2(c)(1), no increase in any Fee will be effective unless made through an amendment to the Agreement.
2.5 Invoices. The City is obligated to pay the Contractor for performance under the Agreement only if the Contractor has submitted an invoice in accordance with the City’s procedures for sub-mission of such an invoice, and the City must be provided with at least 45 days to make payment under each invoice. Additionally, if the City determines that an invoice does not conform to any requirement of the Agreement or the City’s invoicing procedures or if the Contractor is in Breach at the time an invoice is due, the City may withhold payment on that invoice until a corrected invoice has been issued or the Breach has been cured. During any period in which the City with-holds payment pursuant to this section, the Contractor shall not terminate, suspend, impair, degrade, or otherwise limit the City’s access to any Deliverable.
2.6 Non-Appropriation. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the ob-ligation of the City as to any payment or funding required pursuant to the Agreement (including any acceleration of payment or penalty resulting from termination of the Agreement before the end of the Term) shall be limited to an obligation in any given year to budget, appropriate, and pay from legally available funds, after monies for essential city services have been budgeted and
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 8 of 38 appropriated, sufficient monies for the funding that is required during that year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City is not prohibited from pledging any legally available non-ad-valorem rev-enues for any obligations heretofore or hereafter incurred, which pledge shall be prior and superior to any obligation of the City pursuant to the Agreement.
ARTICLE 3
SCOPE OF WORK
3.1 Implementation Term, Generally.
(a) During the Implementation Term, the Contractor shall perform all Implementation Services stated in the Implementation SOW and as otherwise necessary to ensure that the System delivered to the City meets or exceeds requirements of the Agreement.
(b) The Contractor warrants that the Implementation SOW provides for all Implementation Services necessary for implementation of the System, including all Implementation Ser-vices necessary for (i) project management and requirements gathering; (ii) installation, configuration, integration, data migration, and testing; and (iii) user training.
3.2 Usage Term, Generally.
(a) During the Usage Term, the Contractor shall perform all Hosting Services and Support Services stated in the Hosting and Support SOW and as otherwise necessary to ensure that the System continues to meet or exceed the requirements of the Agreement.
(b) The Contractor warrants that the Hosting and Support SOW provides for all Hosting Ser-vices and Support Services necessary for the City to use the System in accordance with the Agreement, including all services necessary to (i) maintain and provide access to up-to-date Documentation; (ii) provide “help desk” support for the System; (iii) provide any Up-date needed to keep the System in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Agreement and the Documentation; and (iv) provide any Update that has been made gen-erally available to other users of the System.
3.3 Acceptance of Deliverables. The following provisions apply to the City’s acceptance of any Deliverable other than an Update to Hosted Software (which is governed by section 7.4):
(a) When the Contractor delivers a Deliverable to the City, the Contractor shall include with the Deliverable a document identifying the Deliverable and providing the City with any information necessary for the City to inspect and use the Deliverable.
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 9 of 38
(b) Following receipt of a Deliverable and the documentation required by the preceding sub-section, the City shall inspect that Deliverable to determine whether it complies with the Agreement and accept or reject the Deliverable in accordance with the following:
(1) If the Deliverable conforms to the Agreement, the City shall accept that Deliverable and provide the Contractor with notice of acceptance. No testing, trial use, or other form of inspection of a Deliverable by the City prior to acceptance constitutes ac-ceptance of that Deliverable or limits the City’s right to reject the Deliverable.
(2) If the Deliverable does not conform to the Agreement, that non-conformance con-stitutes Breach by the Contractor (as defined in article 10), and the City’s rejection of the Deliverable constitutes a notice of Breach under section 10.2.
3.4 Deadlines. The Contractor acknowledges that time is of the essence in performing any obligation of the Contractor subject to a deadline in the Agreement, including every milestone within a schedule included in the Scope of Work. Accordingly, the Contractor’s failure to meet any deadline in the Agreement constitutes a Breach that must be cured in accordance with arti-cle 10, generally, and the following, specifically:
(a) The Breach may be cured by extending the applicable deadline to provide the Contractor with additional time to satisfy the applicable obligation. Extension of a deadline up to 90 days may be effectuated through mutual agreement of the parties and without amend-ment of the Agreement. Otherwise, any extension of a deadline in the Agreement requires amendment of the Agreement.
(b) If the City incurs any additional costs due to a delay that is attributable, in whole or in part, to the Contractor, the City may require, as a condition of curing the Breach, an amendment to the Agreement to compensate the City for those additional costs through a reduction in Fees or otherwise.
3.5 System Standards.
(a) The Contractor shall ensure that the System operates in a manner that (i) meets or exceeds the System Standards and any other requirement stated in the Agreement and (ii) is con-sistent with the Documentation. In the event of conflict, a requirement in the Agreement will take precedence over a requirement in the Documentation.
(b) The Contractor shall ensure that every Update (i) will not have an adverse impact on the overall performance and operation of the System; (ii) will be backwards compatible with the System unless otherwise agreed to by the parties; and (iii) will be backwards compati-ble with any applicable Non-System Equipment unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 10 of 38
3.6 Service Standards.
(a) Generally, the Contractor shall provide each Service (i) in accordance with the Agreement;
(ii) in an expedient, professional, and competent manner; and (iii) once the System (as a whole) has been accepted by the City, in a manner that allows the City to use the System without significant functional downtime to ongoing operations.
(b) The Contractor shall ensure that every person providing any Service to the City (including any employee of the Contractor or a third party acting on Contractor’s behalf) will have skills and training that meet or exceed industry standards, and the Contractor shall replace any person providing the Service to the City if the City, in its sole discretion, determines either (i) that the person is incompetent, careless, unsuitable, objectionable, or otherwise does not comply with this obligation or (ii) that the person’s involvement is contrary to the best interests of the City. Regardless of the reason for replacement, the Contractor’s re-placement must have reasonably sufficient skill, experience, and project knowledge to fulfill applicable obligations under the Agreement.
(c) The Contractor shall meet or exceed industry standards related to prevention of a Security Vulnerability and shall handle any Security Issue that occurs in accordance with sec-tion 3.7.
3.7 Handling of Security Issues. The existence of a Security Issue constitutes a Breach by the Contractor that must be cured in accordance with article 10, generally, and the following, spe-cifically:
(a) The Contractor shall promptly notify the City of the Security Issue, and that notice must disclose the extent to which Sensitive City Content was or may have been disclosed. The Contractor shall not delay that notice for purposes of performing any action required under subsection (b) and may delay that report only to the extent authorized by Law or needed to determine the general nature of the Security Issue. Contractor’s notice under this subsec-tion is effective to initiate the cure process in section 10.2 without any action by the City.
(b) The Contractor shall cure the Breach by eliminating the Security Issue in a manner that meets or exceeds industry standards, including any standard for the speed with which elim-ination of the Security Issue should occur, which supersedes the default period for cure in section 10.2.
(c) If, before completion of the actions required under subsection (b), the Contractor identifies any information that would assist the City in mitigating or otherwise responding to the Security Issue, the Contractor shall immediately provide that information to the City by email unless prohibited by Law from doing so.
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 11 of 38
(d) The Contractor shall not send notice of any Security Issue to any law enforcement agency, regulatory authority, user, or other person or entity for or on behalf of the City unless re-quired to do so by Law or expressly requested to do so by the City. But if the City requests that the Contractor send any such notice, the Contractor shall prepare and send each such notice (i) in accordance with applicable requirements for timing and content under Law, which the Contractor acknowledges may vary depending on the residency of a person whose information is disclosed; (ii) at no expense to the City; and (iii) following review and approval of the notice and distribution list by the City.
(e) No more than 30 days after the Security Issue has been eliminated, the Contractor shall provide the City a written root cause assessment and future incident mitigation plan that sets out details regarding the Contractor’s investigation of the Security Issue. Upon the City’s request, the Contractor shall provide a second, more in-depth investigation and re-sults of its findings.
(f) If the City determines that the Security Issue was caused, in whole or in part, by any act or omission of the Contractor, the Contractor shall, as part of curing the Breach, reimburse the City for any cost or expense incurred by the City in responding to or remediating the Security Issue.
3.8 Approval of Third-Party Performance. Except as otherwise provided in section 5.2 (de-livery of Hardware) or section 7.2 (provision of Hosting Services), the Contractor shall not utilize any third party to perform any of Contractor’s obligations the Agreement without prior approval of the City, which may, in the City’s sole discretion, be withheld or granted subject to conditions.
This prohibition applies without regard to the form of agreement between the Contractor and the third party (e.g., subcontract or otherwise) or the nature of the relationship between the Contractor or the third party (e.g., agent, independent contractor, or otherwise). If the Contractor requests approval of a third party under this section, the Contractor shall provide the City with any infor-mation necessary for the City to evaluate that request.
3.9 Conditions for Third-Party Performance. If a third party performs any obligation of the Contractor under the Agreement, the following conditions apply, in addition to any other require-ments in the Agreement regarding a specific type of third-party performance and regardless of whether that third party has been approved in accordance with section 3.8:
(a) Except as necessary to perform the Contractor’s obligations under the Agreement, the Con-tractor shall not transfer any City Content to the third party or allow the third party to access any City Content.
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 12 of 38
(b) The Contractor shall ensure that the third party complies with the Agreement. If a third party fails to comply with the Agreement, that failure constitutes Breach by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall cure any such Breach in accordance with section 10.2, and the City may require as a condition of that cure that the Contractor remove or replace the applicable third party.
(c) Any recital, representation, declaration, statement of fact, warranty, or consent in the Agreement that is made by the Contractor with respect to the third party or with respect to an action to be performed by the third party is deemed to be made by the Contractor for itself and on behalf of the third party. Accordingly, if any such recital, representation, dec-laration, statement of fact, warranty, or consent is or becomes false or is otherwise not fulfilled by the Contractor or the third party, it constitutes Breach by the Contractor.
3.10 Compliance with Law. The Contractor shall, in its performance of the Agreement, comply with every applicable federal, state, and local constitution, charter, statute, ordinance, rule, regu-lation, policy, and procedure, along with every applicable judgement, order, or other form of decree issued by an authority with jurisdiction over the matter at issue (collectively, “Law”). Addition-ally, by executing, amending, or renewing the Agreement, the Contractor is deemed to have made each certification required under Florida Statutes section 287.135 at the time of the applicable execution, amendment, or renewal.
3.11 Governmental Approval. The Contractor shall obtain every permit, license, certification, or other form of approval from a government agency that is required by Law for the Contractor’s performance of the Agreement (“Governmental Approval”), with the cost of any such Govern-mental Approval included in the applicable Fee. Upon request of the City, the Contractor shall provide the City with documentation of any such Governmental Approval.
3.12 Living Wage Requirements. The living wage requirements in St. Petersburg City Code Chapter 2, Article V, Division 9 (collectively and as may be amended from time to time, the “Liv-ing Wage Requirements”) are incorporated into the Agreement, and Contractor shall comply with those Living Wage Requirements. Accordingly, the Contractor shall pay its employees for any hours worked pursuant to the Agreement in accordance with the Living Wage Requirements and comply with all other Living Wage Requirements. Contractor’s failure to comply with the Living Wage Requirements constitutes a Breach by the Contractor and will result in consequences for non-compliance set forth in St. Petersburg City Code Chapter 2, Article V.

ARTICLE 4
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
4.1 License.
(a) The Contractor hereby grants to the City the non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-trans-ferrable right and license to use every Deliverable that embodies Intellectual Property in accordance with the limits provided by the Agreement (collectively, the “License”) for the following periods of time:
(1) The License for any Hardware and associated Firmware is perpetual.
(2) The License for any Local Software is perpetual.
(3) The License for any Hosted Software is effective throughout the Term.
(4) The License for any Documentation is perpetual.
(b) The License is paid for in full by the Fees and may be exercised without payment of any additional royalty or other form of payment by the City.
(c) Subject only to the express limitations in the Agreement, including any limit on the number of users, the License may be exercised by any official, officer, employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor, or volunteer of the City in the course of any lawful business or function of the City, without geographic limitation.
(d) If any aspect of the System is utilized by the public to interact with the City, the City may, for the purpose of providing support to the public or developing Law or internal policies or procedures, reproduce and adapt (i) any image of that aspect of the System and (ii) any Documentation related to that aspect of the System.
(e) With respect to any Deliverable that is not Hosted Software, the City may copy and use that Deliverable for archival backup, disaster-recovery, or other internal purposes.
4.2 No Transfer of Ownership. The License does not transfer ownership of any Intellectual Property to the City. Accordingly, the owner of Intellectual Property in any Deliverable, whether the Contractor or a third party, retains ownership of that Intellectual Property. Accordingly, the City shall not intentionally (i) remove or modify any markings or notice of any Intellectual Prop-erty in any Deliverable; (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile any Software; or
(iii) make any Deliverable available to any third party except as authorized by the License.
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 14 of 38
4.3 Third-Party Intellectual Property.
(a) The License provides the City with the right and license to use any third-party Intellectual Property incorporated into a Deliverable (“Third-Party IP”), regardless of whether the Agreement expressly identifies that Third-Party IP. For example, if a third party holds the copyright for a code library that has been incorporated into the Software pursuant to a license granted by that third party to the Contractor but is not mentioned anywhere in the Agreement, the License nonetheless includes a sublicense from the Contractor to the City to use that code library in accordance with the Agreement.
(b) In appendix E, the Contractor has provided either (i) disclosure of every obligation of the City imposed by the owner of that Third-Party IP (each, a “Third-Party IP Obligation”) or (ii) a warranty that no Third-Party IP Obligations exist. A Third-Party IP Obligation applies only with respect to the applicable Third-Party IP and is inapplicable to every other aspect of the System.
(c) The City acknowledges that the Contractor’s right to use Third-Party IP may allow the applicable third party to modify a Third-Party IP Obligation without permission of the Con-tractor or the City. The following provisions apply to any such modification:
(1) If the Contractor receives notice of such a modification, the Contractor shall pro-vide that notice to the City.
(2) If the modification would result in appendix E being incomplete or incorrect, that constitutes an Undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation under subsection (d).
(3) If the modification frustrates the purpose of the Agreement or is inconsistent with any material term of the Agreement, the modification constitutes a Breach by the Contractor that must be cured in accordance with subsection (e).
(d) If at any time during the Term, a Third-Party IP Obligation is not disclosed in appendix E (an “Undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation”), the following provisions apply:
(1) The undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation constitutes a Breach by the Contractor that must be cured in accordance with subsection (e).
(2) Violation of an Undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation by the City does not consti-tute Breach by the City, but it may give rise to the Contractor’s indemnity obligations, as more particularly described in section 9.3.

(e) If a Breach (as defined in article 10) concerns infringement, misappropriation, or other vi-olation related to or arising from Third-Party IP, the Contractor shall cure the Breach in accordance with the following:
(1) The Contractor may cure the Breach by removing the Third-Party IP at issue from the System.
(2) The Contractor may cure the Breach by negotiating with the applicable third party to eliminate the Third-Party IP Obligation at issue.
(3) If the Breach is the Contractor’s failure to actually hold a right to Third-Party IP that was purportedly granted as part of the License, the Contractor may cure that Breach by obtaining the missing right and executing any amendment of the Agree-ment or other document necessary to include the missing right in the License.
(4) If the Breach is an Undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation that does not frustrate the purpose of the Agreement, the Breach may be cured by an amendment to the Agree-ment to include the Undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation. If the City will incur any additional costs in complying with the Undisclosed Third-Party IP Obligation, the City may condition its acceptance of that amendment upon a reduction in Fees to offset those increased costs.
4.4 Status of Updates. The Contractor’s installation of an Update is deemed to be a grant of whatever right and license is necessary to incorporate that Update into the scope of the License, and after any Update has been installed in accordance with the Agreement, that Update is deemed part of the applicable Software.
4.5 Copyleft IP Prohibited. “Copyleft IP” means software subject to a license that requires as a condition of use, modification, or distribution that the software be (i) disclosed or distributed in source code or similar form; (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (iii) re-distributable at no charge. Copyleft IP specifically includes any software subject to the GNU General Public License, GNU Lesser General Public License, or any similar license. The Con-tractor shall not include any Copyleft IP in the Software.
4.6 Effect of Bankruptcy. For purposes of section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, the parties intend the License to be a license of rights to “intellectual property” and the applicable Deliverable to be an “embodiment” of “intellectual property,” as those terms are defined in section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing in the Agreement limits the City’s rights under section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or constitutes an election by the City under section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. But the City expressly reserves the right to request any such intellectual property or
TECH-100 / 00875631 / FORM v06.00 16 of 38 embodiment of intellectual property held by a trustee for the Contractor to the full extent author-ized by section 365(n)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Accordingly, the City retains own-ership of all (i) any Intellectual Property embodied in City Content, including City Content processed or stored by the System; (ii) any data, document, or other information created by the City using the System; and (iii) any work flow, business process, training material, report, or other information conceived, invented, created, or acquired by the City independently of any Service.
4.8 Artificial Intelligence. The Contractor shall not use any Sensitive City Content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any large-language model or other artificial intelligence system unless that model or system is for the City’s exclusive use and is not available to any other cus-tomer or third party. This section does not prohibit the use of such a model or system to evaluate Sensitive City Content in a transitory manner that avoids retaining or incorporating the Sensitive City Content in(to) the applicable model or system.
