Vendor acknowledges that any equipment purchased under this provision is and shall remain the property of the Agency/Buyer.

The Agency/Buyer reserves the right to maintain any equipment purchased under this Contract using Agency/Buyer personnel or third-party maintainers. In such case, Vendor shall provide the Agency/Buyer or its maintenance provider with such services, documentation, materials and parts under reasonable terms and conditions and at reasonable costs. The Agency/Buyer reserves the right to return to Vendor's maintenance following written certification by Vendor that the equipment is eligible for Vendor's maintenance. Vendor's standard charges for the certification inspection, plus any applicable charges required to bring the equipment into eligibility for Vendor's maintenance shall apply. Exercise of these rights by the Agency/Buyer shall be without penalty or sanction by Vendor.

If Vendor discontinues service or maintenance of equipment or software provided under this Contract, Vendor shall provide to the Agency/Buyer at no cost adequate documentation and access to specialized or proprietary tools to allow the Agency/Buyer or a subcontractor to maintain the equipment or software. This provision shall not apply if Vendor arranges for continued service and maintenance through another Vendor and at a price acceptable to the Agency/Buyer.

5.1.14 USE OF THIRD PARTIES:

The Agency/Buyer acknowledges that the Vendor may contract with third parties for the performance of any of the Vendor’s obligations under this Contract. However, all subcontracts shall be subject to prior approval by the Agency/Buyer, so the Vendor shall obtain the Agency/Buyer's prior written consent before allowing any Third Party to perform any of the Vendor’s obligations under this Contract.

A Vendor who obtains the Agency/Buyer’s prior written consent and subsequently enters into a contract with a Third Party for performance of any of the Vendor’s obligations under this Contract remains responsible for all services performed under this Contract. All restrictions, obligations and responsibilities of the Vendor under this Contract shall also apply fully and completely to subcontractors. This includes requiring all subcontractors to submit certifications and disclosures to Agency/Buyer for review and approval upon request. The Agency/Buyer shall have the right to request the removal of a subcontractor from the Contract for good cause.

5.1.15 EMPLOYMENT OF ILLINOIS WORKERS DURING PERIODS OF EXCESSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT Whenever there is a period of excessive unemployment in Illinois, which is defined herein as any month immediately following two consecutive calendar months during which the level of unemployment in the State of Illinois has exceeded five percent as measured by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in its monthly publication of employment and unemployment figures, the Vendor shall employ at least 90 percent Illinois laborers.

Other laborers may be used when Illinois laborers as defined herein are not available, or are incapable of performing the particular type of work involved, if so certified by the Vendor and approved by the Engineer. The Vendor may place no more than three of his/her regularly employed non-resident executive and technical experts, who do not qualify as Illinois laborers, to do work encompassed by this Contract during period of excessive unemployment.
