This is an Exhibit C document from the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) outlining general contracting terms and conditions applicable to state and local contract opportunities. The document establishes the foundational framework for various procurement activities involving Connecticut state agencies and authorized political subdivisions. The exhibit addresses the procedural requirements, responsibilities, and obligations of both the State and contractors participating in competitively bid solicitations. Key procedural elements include provisions for bid submissions, evaluation criteria, contract award determinations, and the rights and remedies available to both parties throughout the contracting process.

The document contains standard contractual provisions governing payment terms, insurance requirements, compliance with state and federal regulations, and performance standards expected of awarded contractors. It establishes that contracts are subject to Connecticut General Statutes and applicable federal law, with particular attention to compliance with prevailing wage requirements where applicable, non-discrimination provisions, and safety standards. The exhibit specifies that all contractors must maintain appropriate insurance coverage, comply with state environmental and labor regulations, and adhere to specified performance schedules. Additionally, the document reserves the right for the State to audit contractor records, inspect work sites, and enforce remedies for non-compliance, including contract termination for cause. The terms apply uniformly across all state agencies and authorized local entities utilizing the master contract framework.
