1.22. Work the totality of the Materials and the Services and all the acts of administration, creation, production, and performance necessary to fulfill and incidental to fulfilling all of Contractor's obligations and duties under the Contract in conformance with the Contract and applicable laws.

2. Contract Interpretation

2.1. Usage

Where the Contract:

2.1.1. assigns obligations to Contractor, any reference to “Contractor” is to be construed to be a reference to “Contractor and all Subcontractors, whether they are first-tier subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, suppliers, sub-suppliers, consultants, or sub-consultants, as well as all of Contractor’s and the Subcontractors’ respective agents, representatives, and employees” in every instance unless the context plainly requires that it is be a reference only to Contractor as apart from Subcontractors;

2.1.2. uses the permissive “may” with respect to a party’s actions, determinations, etc., the term is to be interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(31) [Definitions]. For clarity of intent, any right given to State using “State may” or a like construction denotes discretion and freedom to act so far as any regulatory or operative constraints permit in the relevant circumstances, provided that:

2.1.2.1. where written “may, at its discretion,” the discretion extends to whatever is most advantageous to State; and https://spo.az.gov/administration-policy/state-procurement-resource/procurement-regulations

2.1.2.2. 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(43) [Definitions]. Conversely, the phrase “shall not” is to be interpreted as an imperative prohibition.

2.1.4. uses the term “must” with respect to a requirement, criterion, etc., the term is to be interpreted as conveying compulsion or strict necessity, and is to be read as though written “must, if [the subject] is to be entitled to have [the object] considered or credited as being compliant with, conforming to, or satisfying [the requirement, criterion, constraint, etc.], otherwise, [the object] will be considered or debited as being non-compliant, non-conforming, or unsatisfactory for its Contract-related purposes” in every instance;

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. In case of any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity among the documents forming the Contract and their provisions, they are to prevail in the following order, descending from most dominate to most subordinate, provided that, among categories of documents or provisions having the same rank, the document or provision with the latest date prevails.

Information being identified in one document but not in another is not to be considered a conflict or inconsistency.

2.2.2.1. State of Arizona Participating Addendum and Exhibits A, B, and C;

2.2.2.2. Master Agreement including all Addendums, in the order of precedence stated therein.

2.2.3. ATTACHMENTS AND EXHIBITS. For clarity of intent, if an item was an Attachment in the Solicitation Documents or an Offer (either Initial, Revised, Best and Final, or Accepted) 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.

2.3. Independent Contractor Contractor is an independent contractor and shall act in an independent capacity in performance under the Contract. Neither party is or is to be construed as being to be the employee or agent of the other party, and no action, inaction, event, or circumstance will be grounds for deeming it to be so.

2.4. Complete Integration The Contract, including any documents incorporated into the Contract by reference, is intended by the parties as a final and complete expression of their agreement. There are no prior, contemporaneous, or additional agreements, either oral or in writing, pertaining to the Contract.

3. Contract Administration and Operation

3.1. Term of MPA will commence on the date indicated on the Execution page of the Participating Addendum and continue for twelve (12) months unless cancelled, terminated, or permissibly extended.

3.3. Notices and Correspondence

3.3.1. TO CONTRACTOR. State shall:

3.3.1.1. address all Contract correspondence other than formal notices to the email address indicated in the State’s e-Procurement System Vendor Profile; and

3.3.1.2. address any required notices to Contractor to the “Contact Name and Title” at the “Mailing Address” indicated in this MPA, as that address might have been amended during the term of the Contract.

3.3.2. TO STATE. Contractor shall :

3.3.2.1. address all Contract correspondence other than format notices to the email address indicated in “Contact Instructions” in the The State’s e-Procurement System Summary for State; and

3.3.2.2. address any required notices to State to Procurement Officer identified as “Contract Owner” in the State’s e-Procurement System Summary at the following mailing address:

Arizona Department of Administration State Procurement Office 100 N 15th Ave., Suite 305 Phoenix, AZ 85007

3.3.3. CHANGES. State may change the designated Procurement Officer, update contact information, or change the applicable mailing address by Contract Amendment.

3.4. Signing of Contract Amendments

3.4.1. Contractor’s counter-signature – or “approval” in The State’s e-Procurement System, in the case of an amendment – is not required to give effect if the Contract Amendment only covers either:

3.4.1.1. extension of the term of the Contract within the maximum aggregate term;

3.4.1.2. revision to Procurement Officer appointment or contact information; or

3.4.1.3. modifications of a clerical nature that have no effect on terms, conditions, price, scope, or other material aspect of the Contract.

3.4.2. In every case other than those listed in (3.4.1.1), (3.4.1.2), and (3.4.1.3) above, both parties’ signature – or “approval” in The State’s e-Procurement System, in the case of an Amendment

– are required to give it effect.

3.5. Click Through Terms and Conditions

If either party uses a web based ordering system, an electronic purchase order system, an electronic order acknowledgement, a form of an electronic acceptance, or any software based ordering system with respect to the Contract (each an “Electronic Ordering System”), the parties acknowledge and agree that an Electronic Ordering System is for ease of administration only, and Contractor is hereby given notice that the persons using Electronic Ordering Systems on behalf of State do not have any actual or apparent authority to create legally binding obligations that vary from the terms and conditions of the Contract. 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 Systems, 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. Books and Records

3.6.1. RETAIN RECORDS. By A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating for any cost and pricing data submitted in satisfaction of § 41-2543 for the period specified in the statute.

3.6.2. RIGHT TO AUDIT. The retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that period. By A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating to performance under the Contract for the period specified in the statute and those retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that period.

3.6.3. AUDITING. Contractor or Subcontractor shall either make all such books and records under subparagraphs 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 available to State at all reasonable times or produce the records at a designated State office on State’s demand, the choice of which being at State’s discretion. For the purpose of this paragraph, “reasonable times” are during normal business hours and in such a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with normal business activities.

3.7. Contractor Licenses

3.8. Inspection and Testing

By A.R.S. § 41-2547, State may at reasonable times inspect the part of Contractor’s or Subcontractors’ plant or places of business related to performance under the Contract. Accordingly, Contractor agrees to permit (for itself) and ensure (for Subcontractors) access for inspection at any reasonable time to its facilities, processes, and services. State may inspect or test, at its own cost, any finished goods, work-in-progress, components, or unfinished materials that are be supplied under the Contract or that will be incorporated into something to be supplied under the Contract. If the inspection or testing shows non-conformance or defects, then Contractor will owe State reimbursement or payment of all costs it incurred in carrying out or contracting for the inspection and testing, as well as for any re-inspection or re-testing that might be necessary. Neither inspection of facilities nor testing of goods, work, components, or unfinished materials will of itself constitute acceptance by State of those things.

All intellectual property originated or prepared by Contractor pursuant to the Contract, including but not limited to, inventions, discoveries, intellectual copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, technical communications, records reports, computer programs and other documentation or improvements thereto, including Contractor’s administrative communications and records relating to the Contract, are considered work product and Contractor’s property, provided that, State has Government Purpose Rights to that work product as and when it was delivered to State.

All pre-existing software and other materials developed or otherwise obtained by or for Contractor or its affiliates independently of the Contract or applicable Purchase Orders are not part of the work product to which rights are granted State under subparagraph 3.9.1 above, and will remain the exclusive property of Contractor, provided that:

When making any post-execution consent requests, Contractor shall include its warrant that it will do the same for the pending Subcontracts covered by the request.

3.11. Offshore Performance of Certain Work Prohibited

3.12.1. ORDER SUFFICIENCY. The Contract was awarded in accordance with the Arizona Procurement Code; the transactions and procedures required by the code for competitive source selection have been met. An Order issued that cites the correct State contract number will suffice to authorize Contractor to provide the Materials and perform the Services covered by that Order.

3.12.2. ORDER TERMS. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms and Conditions; an Order cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions.

3.12.3. 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 not yet completed as of expiration or earlier termination of the Contract unless State instructs otherwise at the time.

3.12.4. SPECIAL CASE. In the special case where both the following conditions are true, Procurement Officer’s signature on the Acceptance is Contractor’s authorization to perform and therefore no Order is required:

3.12.4.1. the Contract is identified as being a “single-agency/single-project” contract and

3.12.4.2. the Contract was created in The State’s e-Procurement System as something other than a “Master/ Blanket” type.

3.12.5. NO MINIMUMS OR COMMITMENTS

3.12.5.1. Contractor shall not impose any minimum dollar amount, item count, services volume, or services duration on Orders;

3.12.5.2. 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;

3.12.5.3. Contractor shall only deliver or perform as authorized by Orders; and

3.12.5.4. State is not limited as to the number of Orders it may issue for the Contract.

3.12.5.5. For clarity of intent, the foregoing applies equally whether an Eligible Agency issues the Order or, if applicable, a Co Op Buyer issues it.

3.12.6. NON-CONTRACTED MATERIALS OR SERVICES. Any attempt to knowingly represent for sales, marketing, or related purposes that goods or services not specifically awarded are under a State contract is a violation of the Contract and law.

3.13. Provisions for Statewide Contracts: Co-Op Usage; Eligible Agencies; and Quarterly Reporting

3.13.1. The Contract is a “statewide” contract for multiple purchases, projects, or assignments, and can be purchased against by some or all Eligible Agencies and any Co Op Buyers that elect to participate. Even if only one Eligible Agency needs or elects to purchase against the Contract, it is to be construed as being a “statewide” contract hereunder.

3.13.2. The Contract is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) type of contract; it is to be construed as a “delivery order” sub type of ID/IQ contract to the extent the Work is Materials, and a “task order” sub-type to the extent the Work is Services.

3.13.3. Co-Op Usage

3.13.3.1. Contractor shall verify if an ordering entity is a bona fide Co-Op Buyer before selling Materials to or providing Services for them under the Contract. The current list of Co Op Buyers is available on the State Procurement Office website:

https://spo.az.gov/procurement-services/cooperative-procurement/state-purchasing-cooperative

3.13.3.2. Contractor shall sell to Co-Op Buyers at the same price and on the same lead times and other terms and conditions under which it sells to Eligible Agencies, with the sole exception of any legitimately additional costs for extraordinary shipping or delivery requirements if the Co-Op Buyer is having Materials delivered or installed or Services performed at locations not contemplated in the contracted pricing (e.g.

delivery to a location outside Arizona).

3.13.3.3. Contractor shall pay State an administrative fee against all Contract sales to Co Op Buyers, as provided for under A.R.S. § 41 2633. The fee rate is one (1%) percent.

Failure to remit the administrative fees is a material breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right to terminate for default under Article 9. Method of calculation, payment procedures, and other details are provided on the State Procurement Office website:

https://spo.az.gov/procurement-services/cooperative-procurement/state-purchasing-cooperative https://spo.az.gov/procurement-services/cooperative-procurement/state-purchasing-cooperative https://spo.az.gov/contractor-resources/statewide-contracts-administrative-fee

3.13.3.4. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Co-Op Buyers in conformance with each buyer’s instructions given at the time of ordering or in any supplemental participating agreement Contractor might have with them. Orders from Co-Op Buyers create no obligation on State’s part, since they are entirely between the Co- Op Buyer and Contractor. That notwithstanding, Contractor’s obligation under the Contract is to service Co-Op Buyers commercially as though they were with an Eligible Agency, and Contractor’s refusal to do so would be a material breach of the Contract.

3.13.4. Eligible Agencies – Orders

3.13.4.1. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within 1 (one) business day after receipt by either:

3.13.4.1.1. “Approving” the Order electronically in The State’s e-Procurement System, which will indicate Contractor’s unqualified acceptance of the Order as-issued; or,

3.13.4.1.2. “Rejecting” the Order electronically in The State’s e-Procurement 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 Contractor may reject or refuse an Order are those set out in subparagraph 3.14.3 (Orders are Obligatory).

3.13.4.2. Unless and until Contractor has approved the Order in the State’s e-Procurement 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 e-Procurement System within three (3) business days.

Contractor shall thereafter be barred from subsequently rejecting the Order in The State’s e-Procurement System and if it does so the rejection will be void.

3.13.5. Quarterly Usage Reports

Contractor shall submit to State a Quarterly Usage Report documenting all Contract sales to both Eligible Agencies and Co Op Buyers, itemized separately. A Quarterly Usage Report shall still be submitted, even if there have been no sales to either Eligible Agencies and/or Co- Op Buyers. Contractor shall further itemize divisions, groups or areas within a given Eligible Agency if they place Orders independently of each other. Failure to submit the report is a material breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right to terminate for default under Article 9. Contractor shall submit the report using the forms and following the instructions on the State Procurement Office website:

3.14. Multiple-Use Provisions

3.14.1. Eligible Agencies may issue Orders for Services in several forms, all of which become final and effective by a “Release Purchase Order” in The State’s e-Procurement 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:

3.14.1.1. By choosing some or all of the Materials or Services items covered by the Contract for which a price is established in the Pricing Document, then preparing an Order using those prices (e.g., filling out an order form), and sending it to Contractor.

3.14.1.2. By instructing Contractor to provide a comprehensive proposal of item quantities, combinations, etc., or services hours, personnel, etc., for a defined scope using those established prices as a basis, then validating and negotiating the proposal with Contractor and issuing an Order if and when reaching agreement.

3.14.1.3. As described in (3.14.1.2.) above but requesting the proposal from both Contractor and other vendors who are contracted within the applicable scope categories and locations, either sequentially or concurrently, then selecting the proposal or proposals combination that is most advantageous to State.

3.14.1.4. As described in (3.14.1.3.) above but introducing ad-hoc commercial competition by making the selection and ordering conditional on obtaining more favorable prices than the contractually-established ones.

3.14.2. When evaluating the proposals under (3.14.1.3) and (3.14.1.4) above, State may select based on price (for example, a quoted number of hours times the contracted or improved rate plus a fixed amount for incidentals), by experience and qualifications (for example, having an office nearer the required work location), or whatever combination thereof it determines is most appropriate to the work in question.

3.15. Other Contractors

State may undertake with its own forces or award other contracts to the same or other vendors for additional or related work. In such cases, Contractor shall cooperate fully with State’s employees and such other vendors and carefully coordinate, fit, connect, accommodate, adjust, or sequence its work to the related work by others. Where the Contract requires handing-off Contractor’s work to others, Contractor shall cooperate as State instructs regarding the necessary transfer of its work product, services, or records to State or the other vendors. Contractor shall not commit or permit any act that interferes with the State’s or other vendors’ performance of their work, provided that, State shall enforce the foregoing section equitably among all its vendors so as not impose an unreasonable burden on any one of them.

3.16. Work on State Premises

3.16.1. COMPLIANCE WITH RULES

Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its personnel comply with State’s rules, regulations, policies, documented practices, and documented operating procedures while delivering or installing Materials or performing Services on State’s grounds or in its facilities. For clarity of intent, the foregoing means that if Contractor is required to comply with certain security requirements in order to deliver, install, or perform at that particular location, then it shall do so nonetheless and without entitlement to any additional compensation or additional time for performance if those particular requirements are not expressly stated in the Contract.

Contractor is reminded that violation of the prohibition under A.R.S. § 13-1502 against possession of weapons on State’s property by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible is a material breach of contract and grounds for termination for default.

3.16.2. PROTECTION OF GROUNDS AND FACILITIES

Contractor shall deliver or install the Materials and perform the Services without damaging any State grounds or facilities. Contractor shall repair or replace any damage it does cause promptly and at its own expense, subject to whatever instructions and restrictions State needs to make to prevent inconvenience or disruption of operations. If Contractor fails to make the necessary repairs or replacements and do so in a timely manner, State will be entitled to exercise its remedies under paragraph 8.5 [Right of Offset] of the Uniform Terms and Conditions.

4. Costs and Payments

4.1. Payments

4.1.1. PAYMENT DEADLINE. State shall make payments in compliance with Arizona Revised Statues Titles 35 and 41. Unless and then only to the extent expressly stated otherwise in the Pricing Document, State shall make payment in full for Materials that have been delivered and accepted and Services that have been performed and accepted within the time specified in A.R.S. § 35-342 after both of the following become true:

4.1.1.1. all of the Materials being invoiced have been delivered or installed (as applicable) and accepted and all of the Services being invoiced have been performed and accepted; and

4.1.1.2. Contractor has provided a complete and accurate invoice in the form and manner called for in the Pricing Document, provided that, State will not make or be liable for any payments to Contractor until Contractor has registered properly in The State’s e-Procurement System and provided a current IRS Form W-9 to State unless excused by law from providing one.

4.1.2. PAYMENTS ONLY TO CONTRACTOR. Unless compelled otherwise by operation of law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, State will only make payment to Contractor under the federal tax identifier indicated in the States E-procurement System.

4.2. Applicable Taxes

4.2.1. CONTRACTOR TO PAY ALL TAXES. State is subject to Arizona TPT. Therefore, Arizona TPT applies to all sales under the Contract and Arizona TPT is Contractor’s responsibility (as seller) to remit. Contractor’s failure to collect Arizona TPT or any other applicable sales or use taxes from an Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer (as buyer) will not relieve Contractor of any obligation to remit sales or use taxes that are due under the Contract or laws. Unless stated otherwise in the Pricing Document, all prices therein include Arizona TPT as well as every other manner of transaction privilege or sales/use tax that is due to a municipality or another state or its political subdivisions. Contractor shall pay all federal, state, and local taxes applicable to its operations and personnel.

4.2.2. TAX INDEMNITY. Contractor shall hold State harmless from any responsibility for taxes or contributions, including any applicable damages and interest, that are due to federal, state, and local authorities with respect to the Work and the Contract, as well any related costs; the foregoing expressly includes Arizona TPT, unemployment compensation insurance, social security, and workers’ compensation insurance.

5. Contract Changes

5.1. Contract Amendments

The Contract is issued for State under the authority of Procurement Officer. Only a Contract Amendment can modify the Contract, and then only if it does not change the Contract’s general scope. Purported changes to the Contract by a person not expressly authorized by Procurement Officer or made unilaterally by Contractor will be void and without effect; Contractor will not be entitled to any claim made under the Contract based on any such purported changes.

5.2. Assignment and Delegation

5.2.1. IN WHOLE. Contractor shall not assign in whole its rights or delegate in whole its duties under the Contract without Procurement Officer’s prior written consent, which consent Procurement Officer may withhold at his or her discretion. If Contractor’s proposed assignment or delegation stems from a split, sale, acquisition, or other non-merger change in control, then no such consent will be given in any event without the assignee or delegate giving State satisfactory and equivalent evidence or assurance of its financial soundness, competency, capacity, and qualification to perform as that which Contractor possessed when State first awarded it the Contract.

5.2.2. IN PART. Subject to paragraph 3.10 [Subcontracts] with respect to subcontracting, Contractor may assign particular rights or delegate particular duties under the Contract, but shall obtain Procurement Officer’s written consent before doing so. Procurement Officer shall not unreasonably withhold consent so long as the proposed assignment or delegation does not attempt to modify the Contract in any way or to alter or impair State’s rights or remedies under the Contract or laws.

6. Risk and Liability

6.1. Risk of Loss

Contractor shall bear all risk of loss to Materials while in pre-production, production, storage, transit, staging, assembly, installation, testing, and commissioning, if and as those duties are within the scope of the Work, until they have been accepted as conforming by State in the particular location and situation specified in the Order, or as specified generally elsewhere in the Contract if the Order does not provide particulars, provided that, risk of loss for nonconforming Materials will remain with Contractor notwithstanding acceptance to the extent the loss stems from the nonconformance.

6.2. Contractor Insurance

6.2.1. Contractor and subcontractors shall procure and maintain until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under this Contract, are satisfied, insurance against claims for injury to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, his agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

6.2.2. The insurance requirements herein are minimum requirements for this Contract and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Contract. The State of Arizona in no way warrants that the minimum limits contained herein are sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the work under this contract by the Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors, and Contractor is free to purchase additional insurance.

MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMITS OF INSURANCE: Contractor shall provide coverage with limits of liability not less than those stated below.
