ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONTRACT CONDITIONS

REVISED EXHIBIT A

The Contractor and agencies, as defined in section 287.012, Florida Statutes acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Master Contract except as otherwise specified in the Contract, which includes the Special Contract Conditions and these Additional Special Contract Conditions.

A. Information Technology Standard: Pursuant to section 282.0051 and 282.318, F.S. the

Department is to establish standards for the implementation and management of information technology resources. Contractor agrees to cooperate with the Department and Customer in furtherance of efforts to comply with the standards, established in Rule Title 60GG, F.A.C., as applicable.

B. Annual Certification: At the request of the Department or the Customer, the Contractor will submit an annual certification demonstrating compliance with the Warranty of Security in accordance with the standards established in Rule Title 60GG, F.A.C.

C. Orders: Contractor must be able to accept MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) purchase orders.

D. Contractor and Subcontractors, Affiliates, Partners, Resellers, Distributors, and Dealers:

By execution of a Contract, the Contractor acknowledges that it will not be released of its contractual obligations to the Department or state agencies because of any failure of an affiliate, partner, subcontractor, reseller, distributor, or dealer. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its affiliates, partners, subcontractors, resellers, distributors, and dealers providing commodities and performing services in furtherance of the Contract do so in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Contractor is fully responsible for satisfactory completion of all work performed under the Contract.

E. Preferred Pricing: It is the responsibility of the Contractor to provide a completed Preferred

Pricing Affidavit upon Contract execution and annually thereafter throughout the Contract term in accordance with the Special Contract Conditions.

F. Purchases Prerequisites: Contractor must ensure that entities receiving payment directly from Customers under this Contract must have met the following requirements:

• Have an active registration with the Florida Department of State, Division of

Corporations (www.sunbiz.org), or, if exempt from the registration requirements, provide the Department with the basis for such exemption.

• Be registered in the MFMP Vendor Information Portal (https://vendor.

myfloridamarketplace.com).

DocuSign Envelope ID: CB5E61C6-3032-46DD-8D2D-8EB7E6958CAF http://www.sunbiz.org/ https://vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com/ https://vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com/

• Have a current W-9 filed with the Florida Department of Financial Services (https://flvendor.myfloridacfo.com)

G. Punchout Catalog and Electronic Invoicing.

The Contractor is encouraged to provide a MFMP punchout catalog. The punchout catalog provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State access to Products awarded under the Contract. The punchout catalog also allows for direct communication between the MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which can reflect real-time Product inventory/availability information.

Through utilization of the punchout catalog model, a Florida buyer will “punch out” to a supplier’s website. Using the search tools on the supplier’s Florida punchout catalog site, the user selects the desired Products. When complete, the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site and the shopping cart (full of Products) is “brought back” to MFMP.

No orders are sent to a supplier when the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site.

Instead, the chosen Products are “brought back” to MFMP as line items in a purchase order. The user can then proceed through the normal workflow steps, which may include adding/editing the Products (i.e., line items) in the purchase order. An order is not submitted to a supplier until the user approves and submits the purchase order, at which point the supplier receives an email with the order details.

The Contractor may supply electronic invoices in lieu of paper-based invoices for those transactions processed through MFMP. Electronic invoices may be submitted to the agency through one of the mechanisms as listed below:

1) EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (810) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used for invoicing via the Ariba Network (AN) for catalog and non-catalog goods and services.

2) PO Flip via AN

This online process allows Contractors to submit invoices via the AN for catalog and non-catalog goods and services. Contractors have the ability to create an invoice directly from their inbox in their AN account by simply "flipping" the PO into an invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical capabilities.

The Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third-party provider of MFMP, a State contractor, the right and license to use, reproduce, transmit, distribute, and publicly display within MFMP. In addition, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third-party provider the right and license to reproduce and display within MFMP the Contractor's trademarks, system marks, logos, trade dress, or other branding designation that identifies the products https://flvendor.myfloridacfo.com/ made available by the Contractor under the Contract.

H. Contract Reporting: The Contractor shall provide the Department the following accurate complete reports associated with this Contract.

1) Contract Quarterly Sales Reports. The Contractor shall submit complete Quarterly

Sales Reports to the Department’s Contract Manager within 30 calendar days after the close of each State fiscal quarter (the State’s fiscal quarters close on September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30).

Reports must be submitted in MS Excel using the DMS Quarterly Sales Report Format, which can be accessed at https://www.dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/_purchasing/vendor_resources/ quarterly_sales_report_format. Initiation and submission of the most recent version of the Quarterly Sales Report posted on the DMS website is the responsibility of the Contractor without prompting or notification from the Department’s Contract Manager.

If no orders are received during the quarter, the Contractor must email the DMS Contract Manager confirming there was no activity.

2) Certified and Minority Business Enterprises Reports. Upon Customer request, the

Contractor shall report to each Customer spend with certified and other minority business enterprises in the provision of commodities or services related to the Customer orders. These reports shall include the period covered; the name, minority code, and Federal Employer Identification Number of each minority business enterprise utilized during the period; commodities and services provided by the minority business enterprise; and the amount paid to each minority business enterprise on behalf of the Customer.

3) Ad Hoc Sales Reports. The Department may require additional Contract sales information such as copies of purchase orders or ad hoc sales reports. The Contractor shall submit these documents and reports in the format acceptable to the Department and within the timeframe specified by the Department.

4) MFMP Transaction Fee Reports. The Contractor shall submit complete monthly MFMP

Transaction Fee Reports to the Department. Reports are due 15 calendar days after the end of each month. Information on how to submit MFMP Transaction Fee Reports online can be located at https://www.dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/state_/myfloridamarketplace/mf mp_vendors/transaction_fee_and_reporting. Assistance with transaction fee reporting is also available by email at feeprocessing@myfloridamarketplace.com or telephone at 866-FLA-EPRO (866-352-3776) from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The financial consequences below will be paid and received by the Department of Management Services within 30 calendar days from the due date specified by the Department.

3.7 Transaction Fees

The State of Florida, through the Department of Management Services, has instituted MyFloridaMarketPlace, a statewide eProcurement system. Pursuant to Section 287.057(24), F.S., all payments shall be assessed a Transaction Fee of one percent (1.0%), or as may otherwise be established by law, which the vendor shall pay to the State.

For payments within the State accounting system (FLAIR or its successor), the Transaction Fee shall, when possible, be automatically deducted from payments to the vendor. If automatic deduction is not possible, the vendor shall pay the Transaction Fee pursuant to subsection 60A- 1.031(2), F.A.C. By submission of these reports and corresponding payments, vendor certifies their correctness. All such reports and payments shall be subject to audit by the State or its designee.

The vendor shall receive a credit for any Transaction Fee paid by the vendor for the purchase of any item(s) if such item(s) are returned to the vendor through no fault, act, or omission of the vendor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Transaction Fee is non-refundable when an item is rejected or returned, or declined, due to the vendor’s failure to perform or comply with specifications or requirements of the agreement.

Vendors will submit any monthly reports required pursuant to the rule. All such reports and payments will be subject to audit. Failure to comply with the payment of the Transaction Fees or submission of required reporting of transactions shall constitute grounds for declaring the Vendor in default.
