1. What is the State Soliciting?

The Arizona Department of Administration, State Procurement Office (the State), as authorized under A.R.S. § 41-2501 et seq. is seeking to establish one or more mandatory statewide Contracts to provide a standardized secure incident command and management platform to fire and law enforcement agencies based on Federal Emergency Management Agency standards that enable diverse incident management and support entities to work together.

The State anticipates awarding contract(s) with the intent to secure service coverage statewide.

Whether or not it actually enters into any contracts, how many contracts it enters into, and how the work is awarded between those contracts are all at the State’s discretion. Furthermore, the State will use any awarded contracts on an as-needed basis, with no guarantee as to its actual spending under them.

The State reserves the right to accept any item or combination of items specified in the Solicitation, unless the Offeror expressly restricts an item or combination of items in its Offer, and conditions its response on receiving all items for which it provided a proposal. In the event of such restriction, the State will evaluate if an award on such a basis will result in the best value and is in the best interest for the State. The State may otherwise determine, at its sole discretion, that such restriction is non-responsive and deem the Offeror ineligible for further evaluation.

State Procurement Office

Solicitation Requirements | Revision No. 3.1 | Revised 01-23 | Page 9 of 65 discretion and freedom to act so far as any regulatory or operative 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.

2.1.4. uses the term “must” with respect to a requirement, criterion, etc., the term is to be interpreted as conveying compulsion or strict necessity;

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. Contract Amendments;

2.2.2.2. The final Solicitation Documents, in the following order:

(7) Any other documents referenced or included in the Solicitation;

2.2.2.3. Orders, in reverse chronological order; and

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.

Acceptance and continue for twelve (12) months unless canceled, terminated, or permissibly extended.

3.3.3. Changes. State may change the designated Procurement Officer, update contact information, or change the applicable mailing address.

3.4. Signing of Contract Amendments. Contractor’s counter-signature (or “approval” in the

State’s eProcurement System, in the case of an amendment) is not required to give effect if the Contract Amendment only covers either:

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. 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 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

Solicitation No. BPM005086

Statewide Fire Incident Management

Arizona Department of Administration

State Procurement Office

Solicitation Requirements | Revision No. 3.1 | Revised 01-23 | Page 12 of 65

3.6.1. Retain Records. In addition to the audit rights detailed in the Uniform Terms and

Conditions, State also requires that, pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating to any cost and pricing data submitted in satisfaction of §

41-2543 for the period specified in the statute.

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.

3.6.3. Right To Audit. The retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that period. Pursuant to 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.

3.6.4. 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. Subcontract

3.7.1. Initial list. At the time of Contract execution, Contractor’s candidate

Subcontractors were identified in Attachment Proposed Subcontractors to the

Accepted Offer [Proposed Subcontractors]. Agreeing to them being included in the Accepted Offer signified Procurement Officer’s advance consent for

Contractor to enter into a Subcontract with each candidate, which Contractor shall do as promptly as necessary to ensure its ability to carry out the Work in a timely manner.

Solicitation No. BPM005086

Statewide Fire Incident Management

Arizona Department of Administration

State Procurement Office

Solicitation Requirements | Revision No. 3.1 | Revised 01-23 | Page 13 of 65

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.

3.7.3. Flow-down. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions, terms, and conditions of the Contract into every Subcontract by inclusion or by reference, as appropriate.

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. Entering into Subcontracts will not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or duties under the Contract, including, among other things, the duty to supervise and coordinate the work of Subcontractors. Nothing contained in any Subcontract will create or is to be construed as creating any contractual relationship between State and the Subcontractor.

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 not yet completed as of

Solicitation No. BPM005086

Statewide Fire Incident Management

Arizona Department of Administration

State Procurement Office

Solicitation Requirements | Revision No. 3.1 | Revised 01-23 | Page 14 of 65 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.

3.9.3. State shall also be able to cancel Orders freely and without any further obligation at any time prior to Contractor’s formal acknowledgement of the Order.

Solicitation Requirements | Revision No. 3.1 | Revised 01-23 | Page 15 of 65 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 cooperative contract hereunder.

3.10.1. Contractor shall verify if an ordering entity is a current 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/programs/cooperative

3.10.2. 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).

3.10.3. 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 the State to its remedies under Contract Terms and

Conditions Section 8 and its right to terminate for default under Section 9.

Method of calculation, payment procedures, and other details are provided on the State Procurement Office website:

https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting.

3.10.4. Contractor shall submit to State a quarterly usage report documenting all

Contract sales to both Eligible Agencies and Co‑ Op Buyers, itemized separately. 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 the State to its remedies under Contract Terms and Conditions Section 8 and its right to terminate for default under Section 9. Contractor shall submit the report using the forms and following the instructions on the State Procurement Office website:

https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting.

3.10.5. 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 https://spo.az.gov/programs/cooperative https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting

By way of reminder, the only grounds on which the Contractor may reject or refuse an Order are those set out in subparagraph 3.11.3 [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.

3.10.6. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Co‑ Op Buyers in conformance with each Co-Op 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.

3.11. 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:

3.11.1. 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;

3.11.2. 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;

3.11.3. As described in 3.11.2 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; or

3.11.4. As described in 3.11.3 above but introducing ad-hoc commercial competition by making the selection and ordering conditional on obtaining more favorable prices than the contractually-established ones.

3.12. Work on State Premises

3.12.1. 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.

3.12.2. 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 in a timely manner, State will be entitled to exercise its remedies under paragraph 8.5 of the Uniform

Terms and Conditions [Right of Offset].

3.13. Transitions

3.13.1. During commencement, Contractor shall attend transition meetings with any outgoing suppliers to coordinate and ease the transition so that the impact on

State’s operations is kept to a minimum. State may elect to have outgoing suppliers complete some or all of their Work or Orders in progress, even if that

Work could be covered under the incoming supplier’s Contract. Conversely, the

State may have a continued need for the same Materials and Services upon expiration or earlier termination of the Contract. Accordingly, Contractor shall work closely with any incoming supplier and State to ensure as smooth and complete a transition transfer as is practicable.

3.13.2. Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyers representative will coordinate all transition activities and facilitate joint development of a comprehensive transition plan by both Contractor and the incoming supplier. As with the incoming transition, State

Solicitation No. BPM005086

Solicitation Requirements | Revision No. 3.1 | Revised 01-23 | Page 18 of 65 may permit Contractor, when Contractor is outgoing, to complete work or orders in progress to ease the transition as is safest and most efficient in each instance.

3.13.3. RESERVED [for additional transition needs including, but not limited to, the transfer of any required data]

4. Costs and Payments

4.1. Type of Pricing. Offeror shall include only firm, fixed pricing in the Offer.

4.2. Contractor’s Best Pricing. Contractor warrants that, for the term of the Contract, the prices and discounts set out in the Attachments titled BPM005086 Pricing Document, including any subsequent agreed amendment to it (the “Contract Pricing”), shall be equal to or better than the lowest prices and largest discounts, both separately and in combination, at which

Contractor sells equivalent services, items of equipment, and materials.

4.2.1. That price-plus-discount equivalence (“Contractor’s Best Pricing”) is intended to be irrespective of whether or not those other sales have special purchase terms, conditions, rebates, or allowances.

4.2.2. If Contractor’s Best Pricing for equivalent services, items of equipment, and materials is better than the Contract Pricing, then Contractor agrees to adjust the Contract Pricing to match the Contractor’s Best Pricing for all sales related to the Contractor made after the date when the Contractor’s Best Pricing was first better than the Contract Pricing.

4.2.3. For clarification of intent, that date is intended to be the date when the difference first occurred, which might have been before the difference was first identified.

If the difference occurred before it was identified, then Supplier agrees to charge less than the Contract Pricing until the extended difference that would have been realized (i.e. if the Contractor’s Best Pricing had been applied when it should have been) has been settled.

4.3. Pricing is all-inclusive, including any ancillary fees and costs required to accomplish the

Scope of Work and all aspects of Contractor’s offer as accepted by State.

4.3.1. Details of service not explicitly stated in the Scope of Work or in Contractor’s

Offer, but necessarily a part of, are deemed to be understood by Contractor and included herein. All administrative, reporting, or other requirements, all overhead costs and profit and any other costs toward the accomplishment of the requirements in the Contract are included in the pricing provided.

4.3.2. Additional Charges. Any charges or fees not delineated in the Contract shall not be added, billed, or invoiced under the Contract.

4.4. Price Increase. The State may review a fully documented request for a price increase.

4.4.1. Initial Contract prices shall be honored for one year after award of Contract.

4.4.2. All written requests for price adjustments made by the Contractor shall be initiated thirty (30) days in advance of any desired price increase to allow the

State sufficient time to make a fair and equitable determination to any such requests. This may be waived upon proper documentation demonstrating the urgency of the request.

4.4.3. All price adjustments will be implemented by a formal Contract Amendment.

State shall determine whether the requested price increase or an alternate option is in the best interest of the State.

4.4.4. State expects Contractors to use Lean Six Sigma principles to reduce costs in their supply chain, and not simply pass new costs on to the State. If a price increase is requested, State will ask for evidence that Lean Six Sigma principles and tools have been used by Contractor to attempt to reduce costs in advance of any request for a price increase under the Contract.

4.5. Price Reductions. Price reductions shall be immediately passed along to State and may be submitted in writing to State for consideration at any time during the Contract period.

The contractor shall offer State a price reduction on the Contract product(s) concurrent with a published price reduction made to other customers. The State at its own discretion may accept a price reduction. The price reduction request shall be in writing and include documentation showing the actual reduction of cost. Sales promotions requests shall include differences in pricing, begin, and end date of promotion along with the products covered.

4.6. Travel. Contractor shall request and receive written approval prior to any travel under the

Contract in which reimbursement of expenses will be requested. Contractor will be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in accordance with the current rates specified in the State's Travel Policy. Contractor shall itemize all per diem and lodging charges.

Eligible Agency or State shall reject any claim for travel reimbursement for which

Contractor did not receive prior written approval.
