16.6. Verification of Coverage

State of Arizona project/contract number and project description shall be noted on the certificate of insurance. The State of Arizona reserves the right to require complete copies of all insurance policies required by this Contract at any time.

The Department reserves the right to require, at any time throughout the life of the Contract, proof from the Contractor that its subcontractors have the required coverage.

16.8. Approval and Modifications

The Contracting Agency, in consultation with State Risk, reserves the right to review or make modifications to the insurance limits, required coverages, or endorsements throughout the life of this contract, as deemed necessary. Such action will not require a formal Contract amendment but may be made by administrative action.

16.9. Exceptions

In the event the Contractor or subcontractor(s) is/are a public entity, then the Insurance Requirements shall not apply. Such public entity shall provide a certificate of self-insurance. If the Contractor or subcontractor(s) is/are a State of Arizona agency, board, commission, or university, none of the above shall apply

17. AMINISTRATIIVE FEE

The Contractor shall pay the State an administrative fee against all Contract sales to eligible cooperative purchasing members, as provided for under A.R.S. § 41‐2633. The fee for services provided under this Contract is one (1%) percent.

18. USAGE REPORT

18.1 Administrative Fee Reporting

Contractor shall submit to ADOA‐SPO a Quarterly Report documenting all Contract sales to both eligible State agencies and cooperative purchasing members, itemized separately.

The Contractor shall further itemize divisions, groups or areas within a given Eligible Agency if they place Orders independently of each other.

Quarterly reports on transactions with cooperative purchasing members are required to be filed with ADOA‐SPO. Failure to remit the administrative fees/usage reports 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 at https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting.

18.2 ADOT Usage Report Requirements

The Contractor shall furnish ADOT a quarterly report showing all purchasing activity under this contract. This usage report shall be provided in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit 3.

Usage reports shall be submitted to the Procurement Officer no later than 30 days after the end of each quarter.

Usage report quarters shall be defined as follows:

January through March – Report due April 30

April through June – Report due July 30

October through December – Report due January 30 continued employment under the contract is inconsistent with the interest of the Department.

20. CO-OP USAGE

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/contractor-resources/statewide-contracts-administrative-fee

Contractor shall sell to Co-Op Buyers at the same price, and with the same lead times and other terms and conditions under which it sells to Eligible Agencies. With the sole exception of any legitimate 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).

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.

21. POST AWARD MEETING

At the discretion of the Department, the Contractor, at their expense, shall attend and participate in post award meetings as scheduled by the Procurement Officer.
