H. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY: Offeror’s shall submit and include in their pricelist’s, a list of names, addresses, and phone numbers of authorized dealers responsible to the contractor who may be contacted by ordering activities for repair and maintenance of rental equipment.

It is the intent to keep the replacement in replace for the duration of the contract term.

I. MONTHLY EFFECTIVENESS LEVEL (MEL): Each rental equipment furnished under the resulting contract shall perform at a

95% or higher Monthly Effectiveness Level. The Monthly Effectiveness Level percentage shall be calculated as fol lows:

Monthly Effectiveness Level percent = (total monthly production period in hours) minus (total number of rental equipment downtime hours over the monthly production period) divided by (total monthly production period in hours) times 100. The total monthly production period in hours shall be calculated by multiplying 8 hours per day times the number of working days in the month (weekend and Federal holidays excluded). The total number of equipment downtime hours over the monthly production period shall be calculated as the number of minutes the rental equipment was down (unable to perform one or more of its specified functions) during the monthly production period, divided by 60.

J. CREDIT (MEL): Failure of any rental equipment to achieve a Monthly Effectiveness Level of 95% or higher shall entitle the Government to unilaterally take credit against the monthly billing for that particular equipment. The credit shall be calculated as the difference between 100 percent and the achieved MEL percent times the monthly rental charge. In any month in which the Monthly Effectiveness Level is less than 95%, the Government will not be responsible for paying any charge for lack of monthly volume. If the MEL is 95% or higher, no credit will be taken by the Government.

e.g. Credit calculation: If rental equipment was down for 1200 minutes in a month which had a total monthly production of 21 days and the monthly rental charge was $300, the Government’s unilateral credit against the monthly billing would be calculated as follows:

Total monthly productions hours: 21 days times 8 hours = 168 total monthly production hours

Total number of rental equipment downtime hours over the monthly production period:

1200 minutes divided by 60 =20 hours

MEL percent: (168 minus 20, divided by 168) times 100 = 88.095 percent

Credit percent taken: 100 percent minus 88.095 percent = 11.005 percent

Government credit: 11.005 percent of $300 = $33.02

Credit (Extensive Downtime)

If the Monthly Effectiveness Level is less than 90 percent for the three consecutive months, the Government reserves that right to require the contractor to replace the equipment or – terminate the order with no termination or removal charges being assessed to the Government.

4 2/13/17

K. ORDERS: A written order shall be the only basis for rental in accordance with these terms and conditions.

L. PERIOD: Orders for rental shall cover only the period of use of the equipment within the contract period. Rental charges shall commence on the next working day following that on which the equipment is installed ready to operate.

M. TERMINATION: Pricing for each rental period has been developed and established based on the completion of the rental term. Should a rental be canceled by an agency prior to the end of the selected term, termination penalties will be imposed as follows:

A. Lack of Fiscal Funds: No penalty

B. Activity Closure due to Congressional Mandate: No penalty

C. Formal Reorganization Duly Authorized by the Head of the Agency: No penalty

D. Any Other Discontinuance:

The difference between the monthly rental rate for the selected rental order term and the published standard monthly rental rate which would have been paid for the term of the actual rental period, to the closest full annual rental period, multiplied by the number of months of actual rental. An exception to this is for the one year plan which will have a penalty of three (3) months rental rate for early termination, not to exceed a total of twelve (12) payments for the actual rental months combined with the penalty.

The following are examples of the termination charges based on the rental term:

4. Repair service shall include the furnishing of such items of equipment as may be necessary to repair the equipment being serviced.

5. Guarantee. All repair work will be unconditionally guaranteed for a period of ninety (90) days.

C. MAINTENANCE PROVISIONS: Maintenance service agreement consists of preventative and repair (remedial) services.

Preventative consists of those scheduled service calls necessary to maintain the equipment in first-class operating condition (e.g., cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, and replacing parts when needed). Repair (remedial) services consist of those unscheduled service calls necessary for repairs not caused by fire, water, accident, and fluctuations in electrical power or customer abuse. The Maintenance Service Agreement and Repair Service include the cost of labor, transportation, replacement/spare parts, (excluding consumable operating supplies). The greater the distance from the maintenance facility to the user's facility the higher the monthly fees. In the event the Government’s equipment requires initial repair or overhaul prior to acceptance by the contractor for coverage under a maintenance service agreement, the charges for such repairs, including replacement parts and labor, and for a complete rebuilding or overhauling of Government’s equipment are usually not included in the preventative service agreement.

Prior to acceptance of any equipment for maintenance, an inspection visit will be performed at no additional charge to the Government. The government will make arrangements for the contractor to perform a pre-inspection visit in order to ascertain if obvious abuse or damage exists. All equipment and maintenance inspection visits will be required through the end of the agreement. Failure to perform inspection service as stipulated in the contract (unless unlimited repairs calls are allowed) will result in a deduction of 1/12 of the yearly rate for each month of such delay. Further failure to tender emergency service within nine (9) working hours (maximum) after written or oral notification, unless otherwise stated, will be subject to a deduction of 1/30 of the monthly rate for each day the equipment is inoperative. The performance period shall begin within one week of the installation date (unless, delayed in accordance with provision entitled a delay of start of performance period and shall end when the equipment has met the standards of performance for period of thirty (30) consecutive days by operating in conformance with the contractors technical specifications and functional descriptions at an effectiveness level of 90% to 95% or more. The contractor shall grant a credit to the government for any machine that fails to perform at an effective level of 90% during any month. Any non-conformance must be corrected within 30 days of notification by the agency.

If the performance is not corrected within 60 days of written notice, the Government may terminate the agreement and request immediate removal of the equipment. The offeror shall grant a credit to the agency for any machine, which fails to perform at an effectiveness level of 90% during any month. The effectiveness level for a machine is computed by dividing the total productive time, by the sum of that time, plus machine failure downtime. The credit shall be a percentage amount of the fixed monthly maintenance charge, which is determined by subtracting the actual percentage of effectiveness level attained during the month from 90%. Example: if the effectiveness level for a machine if 87% for the month, the credit would be 3% of the fixed monthly maintenance charge; if the effectiveness level is 90% or higher, there is no credit due under this provision.

27. SPECIAL PROVISION APPLICABLE TO LEASING LTOP (SIN 51-58) and OPERATING LEASE (SIN 51-58a)

1. STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTENT

For the purpose of this solicitation, Lease Term is defined as the duration of the lease in months (not to exceed 60 months) as shown on the Ordering Agency’s initial delivery order. It is understood by all parties to this contract that this is a leasing arrangement. In that regard, the Government anticipates fulfilling the leasing agreement subject to the availability of appropriated funds and the continued needs of the Ordering Agency. The Ordering Agency, upon issuance of any delivery order pursuant to Special Item Numbers (SIN’s) 51 58, 51 58a or 51 58b, intends to use the equipment for the lease term specified in the initial delivery order so long as the needs of the Ordering Agency for the equipment or functionally similar equipment continues to exist and adequate funds are appropriated. Each lease hereunder shall be initiated by a delivery order which shall, either through a statement of work or other attachment specify the equipment being leased, and the terms of the transaction as required in other sections of SIN’s 51 58, 51 58a or 51 58b. The lease commencement is the date of acceptance as defined by FAR Subpart 12.4

The first period or initial term of the leasing agreement will be through September 30th of the fiscal year in which the order is placed, or as extended by act of Congress, unless the ordering office has multi-year funding.

Ordering Agencies are advised to follow the guidance provided in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 7.4 Equipment Lease or Purchase, and to review the lease terms and conditions prior to ordering and obligating funding for a lease. Ordering Agencies are responsible for the obligation of the funding consistent with fiscal law when entering into any lease arrangement.

2. ORDERING PROCEDURES

(A) Ordering Agencies are strongly encouraged to conduct a needs assessment prior to the procurement of copiers.

(B) When the Ordering Agency expresses an interest in leasing a product(s), the Ordering Agency will provide the following information to the prospective vendors:

a. Which product(s) is (are) required.

b. The required delivery date.

c. The proposed term of the lease.

d. Where the equipment will be located.

e. Description of the intended use of the equipment.

(C) The contractor will respond with:

(1) Whether the contractor can provide the required equipment.

(2) The monthly payment based on the rate and the initial and residual values of the equipment.

(3) The estimated cost, if any, of applicable State or local taxes.

(4) A confirmation of the availability of the equipment on the required delivery date.

(5) Extent of warranty coverage, if any, of the leased products.

(6) Cite the cost of any mandatory maintenance as applicable.

(7) The Termination Ceiling Charges, as applicable. (See Section 13, Early Termination Charges).

8 2/13/17 http://www.sharpusa.com/AboutSharp/CompanyProfile/AccessibilitySection508.aspx

(D) The ordering agency and contractor shall agree upon a termination ceiling charge which is established in accordance with the appropriate formula in Section 13. Early Termination Charges (See FAR Subpart 17.1)

(E) The Contracting Officer shall insert the agreed upon termination ceiling charge for the first year in the order and modify it for successive years upon availability of funds.

3. ORDERS AND PERIOD OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

(A) Lease Options: At a minimum, Ordering Agencies placing orders for equipment under a leasing arrangement must specify on the delivery order the applicable leasing SIN under which the equipment is being leased.

51 58: Lease to Ownership Plan (LTOP) (Lease/Purchase)(Copier)

51 58A: Lease with Option to Own (Operating Lease) (Copier)

51 58B: Lease with Option to Own (Operating Lease) (All Other Products under the 36 Schedule)

(B) Annual Year Funding. When using annually appropriated funds when placing an order for leasing, the following applies:

(1) Any lease executed by the Ordering Agency shall be on the basis that the known requirements exceed the remainder of the fiscal year. Due to funding constraints, however, the Ordering Agency cannot normally commit to a term longer than one fiscal year at the commencement of the lease. To facilitate the exercise of renewal options for future fiscal years, the lease term will be specified in the delivery order. All orders for leasing shall remain in effect through the

Government fiscal year (or as extended by Act of Congress), or the planned expiration date of the lease, whichever is earlier, unless the Ordering Agency exercises its rights hereunder to acquire title to the equipment prior to the planned expiration date. Despite the fact that the delivery order will specify the total lease term, orders under the lease shall not be deemed to obligate succeeding fiscal year’s funds or to otherwise commit the Ordering Agency to a renewal.

(2) All orders for leasing automatically terminate at the end of the Government fiscal year (or as extended by Act of

Congress) or the contract term, whichever is earlier. However, Ordering Agencies should notify the contractor in writing thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of such orders as to the Government’s intent to renew.

Ordering Agencies are instructed to follow the guidelines set forth in Paragraph 14 of this section with regard to termination of lease terms for non-appropriation or agency decisions not to renew. Should Ordering Agencies decide to terminate the lease prior to the expiration of the lease term under any other condition other than those set forth in

Paragraph 14, early termination charges shall apply, (See Section 13, Early Termination).

(C) Multi-Year Funding Within contract Period: Where an Ordering Agency’s specific appropriation authority provides for funds in excess of a 12 month (fiscal year) period, the Ordering Agency may place a schedule contract order for leasing for a period up to the expiration of its period of appropriation availability, or the expiration of the contract period whichever comes first, notwithstanding the intervening fiscal years.

(D) In recognition of the types of products on this Schedule and the potential adverse impact to the Government’s mission, the

Government’s quiet and peaceful possession and unrestricted use of the equipment shall not be disturbed in the event the equipment is sold by the Contractor, or in the event of bankruptcy of the contractor, corporate dissolution of the

Contractor, or other event, so long as the Government is not in default. The equipment shall remain in the possession of the Government until the expiration of the lease. Any assignment, sale, bankruptcy, or other transfer of the leased equipment by the contractor will not relieve the Contractor of its obligations to the Government, and will not change the

Government’s duties or increase the burdens or risks imposed on the Government.

(E) Assignment of Claims: In accordance with GSAR 552.232-23 Assignment of Claims under this contract, the Ordering

Agency Contracting Officer may approve the assignment of claim for an order under these leasing Special Item Numbers

(SINs) in accordance with FAR 32.803. Contractors cannot prohibit or otherwise limit the Government’s ability to setoff lease payments under any lease or assignment of a lease.

(F) Government Rights under Lease: The Government does NOT waive any performance requirements, warranty rights nor other contract or statutory rights, such as the right to set off payments against other Government debt, as a part of the lease. The Government’s acceptance of an assignment of a lease, does not waive any of the Government contract provisions.

4. MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION

(1) Maintenance and installation, when applicable, are not included in the lease payments. The Ordering Agency will obtain installation and/or maintenance from the contractor or a designated authorized service provider.

(2) When installation and/or maintenance are to be performed by the Contractor, the payments, terms and conditions will be as stated in this contract. Maintenance payments and terms and conditions during subsequent renewal periods of this lease will be those of the prevailing GSA Schedule contract in effect.

5. MONTHLY PAYMENTS

(1) Prior to the placement of an order under this SIN, the Ordering Agency and the contractor must agree on a “base value” for the products to be leased. The base value will be the contract purchase price (less any discounts). For operating leases the residual value is independent of the purchase option price. The residual value will be used in the calculation of the original lease payment.

(2) To determine the initial lease term payment, the contractor agrees to apply the negotiated lease factor to the agreed upon base value:

Examples: Lease factor one (1) percent over the rate for the three year (or other term) Treasury Bill (T-bill) at the most current U. S. Treasury auction.

Or

The Contractor’s most favored finance rate factor as agreed to during contract negotiations.

The lease payment may be calculated by using a programmed business calculator or by using “rate” functions provided in commercial computer spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 1-2-3, Excel).

Rate factors may be adjusted on a quarterly basis. Please confirm rates with your Sharp Government Account Executive or call Sharp directly at 800-813-6127.

(3) The purchase option price will be based upon the unamortized principle of the product. The payment will be based upon the unamortized principle, as shown on the payment schedule as of the last payment prior to date of transfer of ownership. In the event the Government desires, at any time, to acquire title to equipment leased hereunder, the

Government may make a one-time lump sum payment.

6. EXPIRATION OF LEASE TERM

(1) Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, the Ordering Agency will:

a) Upon 30 day written notice, return the Equipment to the Contractor or -

b) Purchase the equipment at the fair market value of the equipment or;

c) Obtain requirements in accordance with FAR 8.4 (Ordering Procedures) by issuing a new request for quote.

Note: Customers are advised to see paragraph 15-18 for additional lease expiration provisions.

7. ADDITIONS

For the purpose of this solicitation the definition of an addition is defined as follows:

Additions: The addition of accessories features or other enhancements available for lease under this contract to an existing model (base unit) already installed. Additions shall not change the functionality of the installed equipment.

(1) The ordering agency may require the contractor to modify existing leased equipment through order modifications, provided the modifications are customarily offered by the contractor for the equipment leased. The price of the modification will be mutually agreed upon by the ordering agency and the contractor. The ordering agency may pay for the modification at full price upon acceptance, or the modification price may be leased coterminous with the initial lease term. The contract lease interest rate in effect at the time of order of the modification will be used to calculate the monthly payment applicable to the modification. For Operating leases a residual value should be negotiated for the modification.

For example:

Lease to ownership Price of the modification - $1,000 Months remaining on the equipment lease - 19 Current contract lease factor at the time of the modification - 045 for 24 month lease, the term closest to remainder of lease.

Interest equivalent (i) for lease factor is 0.625% per month [rate(N,-pmt,Price)/rate(24,-0.045,1)] Modification Payment $55.98 [PMT(i,N,P)/PMT(.625%,19,1000)]

(2) The Ordering Agency may affix or install any accessory, addition, equipment or device on the equipment ("additions") provided that such additions:

a. can be removed without causing material damage to the equipment;

b. do not reduce the value of the equipment; and

c. are obtained from or approved by the contractor, and are not subject to the interest of any third party other than the contractor.

(3) Any other additions may not be installed without the contractor's prior written consent. At the end of the lease term, the

Government shall remove any additions which:

a. were not leased from the contractor, and

b. are readily removable without causing material damage or impairment of the intended function, use, or value of the equipment, and restore the equipment to its original configuration.

(4) Any additions, which are not removable, will become the contractor's property (lien free).

(5) Payment may be modified based on the schedule price adjusted to reflect the actual period until the end of the lease term.

(6) Should the Ordering Agency elect to replace equipment under the lease, a new FAR 8.4 competition is required. This does not preclude substitution for failure to perform. Ordering Agencies are advised that when making the decision to conduct a new competition, consideration must be given to the early termination of existing equipment and/or the financial considerations involved with the rollover of existing equipment should the current contractor prevail. Ordering Agencies are strongly advised to perform a cost benefit analysis in accordance with their agency procedures and policies with regard to rollovers.

8. RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE

The Government is relieved from all risk of loss or damage to the equipment during periods of transportation, installation, and during the entire time the equipment is in possession of the Government, except when loss or damage is due to the fault or negligence of the Government. The Government shall assume risk of loss or damage to the equipment during relocation unless the Contractor shall undertake such relocation.

9. WARRANTY

In accordance with Clause 552.246-73 under this contract, the contractor’s warranty, as stated in the contractor’s GSA Authorized Price List, is applicable to the lease.
