Solicitation No. BPM007596 Bridge Inspections CN
Solicitation Requirements (IFB) | Revision No. 0 | Revised 08-25 | Page 16 of 54 constraints permit in the relevant circumstances, provided that: (a) where written “may, at its discretion,” the discretion extends to whatever is most advantageous to State; and (b) where written only as “may,” the discretion is constrained by what is fair, reasonable, and as accommodating of the respective best interests of both parties as practicable under the circumstances;
2.1.3. uses the imperative “shall” with respect to a party’s actions, duties, etc., the term is to be interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(44) [Definitions]. Conversely, the phrase “shall not” is to be interpreted as an imperative prohibition.

2.1.5. uses the term “might” with respect to an event, outcome, action, etc., the term is to be interpreted as conveying contingency or non-discretionary conditionality; and
2.1.6. uses the term “will” or the phrases “is to be” or “are to be” with respect to an event, outcome, action, etc., the term or phrase is to be interpreted as conveying such certainty or imperativeness that “shall” is either unnecessary or irrelevant in that instance.
2.2. Contract Order of Precedence
2.2.1. Complementary Documents. All of the documents forming the Contract are complementary. If certain work, requirements, obligations, or duties are set out only in one but not in another, Contractor shall carry out the Work as though the relevant Work, requirements, obligations, or duties had been fully described in all, consistent with the other documents forming the Contract and as is reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce complete results.
2.2.2. Conflicts.

2.2.3. Attachments and Exhibits. For clarity of intent, if an item was an Attachment in the Solicitation Documents or an Offer and was subsequently made into an Exhibit, or its content was incorporated into one of the other Contract documents, then that Attachment no longer exists contractually as an “Attachment” since it has at that point been made into some other Contract document. In every other case, an Attachment and the Offeror Data therein remain part of the Accepted Offer for purposes of precedence and contractual effect.

3.4.1. extension of the term of the Contract within the maximum aggregate term; or
3.4.2. modifications of a clerical nature that have no effect on terms, conditions, price, scope, or other material aspect of the Contract.
In every case other than those listed in 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 above, both parties’ signatures (or “approval” in the State’s eProcurement System in the case of an Amendment) are required to give it effect.
3.5. Click-through Terms and Conditions.

Accordingly, where an authorized State user is required to “click through” or otherwise accept or be made subject to any terms and conditions in using an Electronic Ordering System, any such terms and conditions are deemed void upon presentation. Additionally, where an authorized State user is required to accept or be made subject to any terms and conditions in accessing or employing any Materials or Services, those terms and conditions will also be void.

3.6.2. Usage Information. Additionally, any and all information (including, but not limited to, documentation or Data) related to Eligible Agency and Co-Op Buyer usage retained solely within the Contractor’s system (for example, related to punch-out or Contractor catalog sales) shall be considered public information or information that can be shared with and distributed by the State freely and for any purpose under the State’s government purpose rights detailed in Section 3 of the Uniform Terms and Conditions [Ownership of Intellectual Property]. Any modifications to this Contract notwithstanding, the State shall have free use of any and all information related to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer purchasing. Upon request by the State, Contractor shall promptly provide the State with any usage information requested and shall not attempt to limit the State's use in any way.

Solicitation Requirements (IFB) | Revision No. 0 | Revised 08-25 | Page 20 of 54
3.7.2. Additional names. Contractor shall not enter into a Subcontract to perform Work under the Contract, without first obtaining Procurement Officer’s written consent with any prospective Subcontractor that (a) was not listed on the Attachment Proposed Subcontractors at time of Contract execution or (b) is for any Materials or Services categories other than the ones for which they were previously consented. For either case (a) or (b), Contractor shall submit a written request sufficiently in advance of the need date for those materials or services so that performance under the Contract is not impaired. Procurement Officer may request any additional information he or she determines is necessary to assess the submittal, and may withhold consent pending it.
Approval of additional subcontractors shall be added to the Contract by a bilateral Contract Amendment.

3.8. Orders
3.8.1. Order Sufficiency. The Contract was awarded in accordance with the Arizona Procurement Code; the transactions and procedures required by the Arizona Procurement Code for competitive source selection have been met. An Order issued that cites the correct State contract number will suffice to authorize the Contractor to provide the Materials and perform the Services covered by that Order.
3.8.2. Order Terms. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms and Conditions; an Order cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions. Any Contractor terms added to quotes or otherwise unilaterally added to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer Orders are null and void.
3.8.3. Orders are Obligatory. Until the expiration or earlier termination of the Contract, State may issue and Contractor shall accept Orders that make proper reference to the Contract and are permissible hereunder, provided that, Contractor is not obliged to accept any Order that is not consistent with the then-current pricing, lead times, specifications, or payment provisions of the Contract. Contractor shall fulfill and complete any Orders that are begun but
Solicitation No. BPM007596 Bridge Inspections CN
Solicitation Requirements (IFB) | Revision No. 0 | Revised 08-25 | Page 21 of 54 not yet completed as of expiration or earlier termination of the Contract unless State instructs otherwise at the time.
3.8.4. No Minimums or Commitments. (a) Contractor shall not impose any minimum dollar amount, item count, services volume, or services duration on Orders; (b) State makes no commitment of any kind concerning the quantity or monetary value of activity actually initiated or completed during the term of the Contract;
(c) Contractor shall only deliver or perform as authorized by Orders; and (d) State is not limited as to the number of Orders it may issue for the Contract.
For clarity of intent, the foregoing applies equally whether an Eligible Agency issues the Order or, if applicable, a Co-Op Buyer issues it.
3.8.5. Non-contracted Materials or Services. Any attempt to knowingly represent for sales, marketing, or related purposes that Materials or Services not specifically awarded are under a State contract is a violation of the Contract and law.
3.9. Order Cancellations. State may cancel Orders within a reasonable period after issuance and at its discretion. The same method used for ordering will be used for cancellation.
3.9.1. If State cancels an Order, then State shall:
3.9.1.1. pay Contractor for any portion of the Materials and Services from that Order that have been properly delivered or performed as of the cancellation effective date; and
3.9.1.2. reimburse Contractor for actual, documented costs incurred in fulfilling the Order up to the cancellation effective date and the cost of any obligations incurred in fulfilling the Order up to the cancellation effective date that demonstrably cannot be canceled or that have pre-established cancellation penalties specified in the relevant Subcontracts, to the extent the penalties are reasonable and customary for the work in question.
3.9.2. Contractor shall not charge or be entitled to charge State for any new costs it incurs after receiving the cancellation notice; State is not liable for any Materials that were produced, shipped, or delivered, or Services that were performed before Contractor had acknowledged the corresponding Order.

This contract is a single-agency contract for the sole use of [DEMA].
3.9.4. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within one (1) business day after receipt by either: (a) “approving” the Order electronically in the State’s eProcurement System, which will indicate Contractor’s unqualified acceptance of the Order as‑issued; or (b) “rejecting” the Order electronically in the State’s eProcurement System, with a concurrent explanation by email to relevant originator as to the reason for rejecting it. By way of reminder, the only grounds on which the Contractor may reject or refuse an Order are those set out in subparagraph 3.8.3 [Orders are Obligatory]. Unless and until Contractor has approved the Order in the State’s eProcurement System, it will have no effect under the Contract and will not oblige either State or Contractor. If the relevant Eligible Agency explicitly instructs at the time that a verbal acceptance is sufficient because of urgency or other unusual circumstances and Contractor duly gives its verbal acceptance, then Contractor will be deemed to have accepted the Order immediately upon commencing performance, provided that, Contractor must follow-up its verbal acceptance by accepting the Purchase Order electronically in the State’s eProcurement System within three
(3) business days. Contractor shall thereafter be barred from subsequently rejecting the Order in the State’s eProcurement System and if it does so the rejection will be void.
3.10. Multiple-Use Provisions. Eligible Agencies may issue Orders for Services in several forms, all of which become final and effective by a Purchase Order in the State’s eProcurement System. Orders issued by Co-Op Buyers will be in whatever form the Co-Op Buyer normally uses. Regardless of origin, Orders must cite the State contract number to be valid. State may, at its discretion in each instance, determine the scope, schedule, and price for each Order in any of the following ways:
3.10.1. By choosing some or all of the Materials or Services items covered by the Contract for which a price is established in the Contract, then preparing an Order using those prices (e.g. filling out an order form), and sending it to the Contractor;
3.10.2. By instructing Contractor to provide a comprehensive quote of item quantities, combinations, etc., or services hours, personnel, etc., for a defined scope using those established prices as a basis, then…
