Any such assignment however, does not excuse Contractor from fulfilling their obligations outlined in the terms and conditions of either the NASPO ValuePoint Master Contract #189398 or the Participating Addendum. Contractor intends to assign, solely for financing purposes, rights as set forth immediately above and this paragraph constitutes the required written notification to the State of Florida.

All lease and rental programs must remain with the Contractor, Authorized Dealers, Contractor’s leasing partners, or third-party financial institutions throughout the term of the agreement.

End of Term Notification: Contractor must notify a Purchasing Entity, in writing, of their End of Term options at least sixty (60) to ninety (90) days prior to the end of any Initial Lease or Rental Term. Such notification may include, but not be limited to, the following:

i. Any acquisition or return options, based on the type of lease or rental agreement;

ii. Any renewal options, if applicable; and/or

iii. Hard drive removal and surrender cost, if applicable.

End of Term Options: If a Purchasing Entity desires to exercise a purchase, renewal, or return of the Equipment, it shall give Contractor at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the expiration of such lease or rental term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Purchasing Entity fails to notify Contractor of its intent with respect to the exercise of a purchase, renewal, or return of the Equipment, the Initial Lease or Rental Term shall be terminated on the date as stated in the Order and removal of the Product will be mutually arranged.

G. Product Installation & Invoicing: Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, signing the delivery and acceptance (“D&A”) certificate constitutes Acceptance of the Device(s) and allows Contractor to invoice for the Device(s). Failure to sign the D&A or reject the Device(s) within the foregoing five (5) day period shall be deemed as Acceptance by the Purchasing Entity.

Contractor will provide timely billing and Purchasing Entity will notify Contractor, in writing, of any billing concern. In order for Contractor to generate accurate service invoices, Purchasing Entities shall provide meter reads within the Contractor(s) requested timeframe.

Invoices that are generated without receiving the proper meter-read information from the Purchasing Entity will not be considered inaccurate.

The Purchasing Entity shall provide written notice of any alleged invoicing issue(s) and the Contractor will be allowed a thirty (30) day cure period to address any such issue.

Failure on the Contractors part to maintain accurate invoicing shall result in a $25.00 per instance credit on the following month’s invoice.

H. Not Specifically Priced (“NSP”) Open Market Items: Not Specifically Priced (NSP) items compliment or enhance the Products and/or Services offered under the resulting Master Contract, and may be purchased as a stand-alone option. NSP items will not include:

i) Interactive White boards;

ii) Computers, monitors, or other related items;

iii) Fax machines;

iv) Overhead Projectors; and

NSP items may only be acquired through the Contractor or their Authorized Dealers and must be reported quarterly with all other sales under the resulting Master Contract. NSP items must be priced at a minimum discount of 15% from MSRP or List Price. The maximum allowable amount of all NSP items in a single Order shall be determined by the Participating State or Entity.

I. Showroom Equipment: Upon request by a Purchasing Entity, showroom Equipment for

Groups A and B may be converted to a purchase, lease, or rental providing the following conditions are met:

a. The meter count on Group A and Group B Devices does not exceed 10,000 copies total (i.e. b&w and color combined); and

c. The Purchasing Entity and the Contractor must indicate on the Order that the Device is a showroom model.

J. Software: Purchasing Entities that acquire software shall be subject to the license agreements distributed with such software. Software subscriptions shall not be subject to automatic renewals, unless otherwise agreed to in an Order. Purchasing Entities shall have the option to finance software subscriptions by utilizing Contractor lease and rental rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict in language between an end user license agreement (EULA) and the Master Contract, the language in the Master Contract will supersede and control, unless otherwise agreed to by a Participating State or Entity. In addition, any language in a EULA which violates a Participating State’s constitution or a statute of that state; or violates the laws of a local entity making a purchase, will be deemed void, and of no force or effect.

K. Maintenance Service Level Agreements: Purchasing Entities are subject to the Contractor’s Standard Service Levels as outlined in the Master Contract, Contractor’s Supplemental Documents, or as otherwise negotiated by the Participating State or Entity.

L. Managed Print Services (“MPS”) Level Agreement: Purchasing Entities are subject to the Contractor’s “Sample MPS Statement of Work” provided in Master Contract Attachment 8, or a similar format approved by both parties. Contractor may not provide MPS maintenance or repair Services on any Devices that are being leased or rented to a Purchasing Entity by another Manufacturer, unless they have a written agreement with the Manufacturer to do so. All MPS engagements shall require the Contractor and Purchasing Entity to complete a detailed statement of work, which must be approved by both parties prior to the initiation of any engagement.

M. 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 made available by the Contractor under the Contract.

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

1) Contract Quarterly Sales Reports. The Contractor shall submit Quarterly Sales Reports in the manner and format required by the Department 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).

The Quarterly Sales Report template can be found here: Quarterly Sales Report Format / Vendor Resources / State Purchasing / Business Operations / Florida Department of Management Services - DMS (myflorida.com). 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. Sales will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. If no sales are recorded in two consecutive quarters, the Contractor may be placed on probationary status, or the Department may terminate the Contract. Failure to provide the Quarterly Sales Report, or other reports requested by the Department, will result in the imposition of financial consequences and may result in the Contractor being found in default and the termination of the Contract.

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

O. Financial Consequences: The Department reserves the right to impose financial consequences when the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Contract.

The following financial consequences will apply for the Contractor’s non-performance under the Contract. The Customer and the Contractor may agree to add additional Financial Consequences on an as-needed basis beyond those stated herein to apply to that Customer’s resultant contract or purchase order. The State of Florida reserves the right to withhold payment or implement other appropriate remedies, such as Contract termination or nonrenewal, when the Contractor has failed to comply with the provisions of the Contract. The Contractor and the Department agree that financial consequences for non-performance are an estimate of damages which are difficult to ascertain and are not penalties.

3.4 Purchase Order.

A Customer may use purchase orders to buy commodities or contractual services pursuant to the Contract and, if applicable, the Contractor must provide commodities or contractual services pursuant to purchase orders. Purchase orders issued pursuant to the Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than the close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term. The Contractor is required to accept timely purchase orders specifying delivery schedules that extend beyond the Contract term even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the Contract. Purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the Contract shall survive the termination or expiration of the Contract and apply to the Contractor’s performance. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliverables shall not exceed the expiration of the Contract by more than twelve months. However, if an extended pricing plan offered in the state term or agency contract is selected by the ordering entity, the contract terms on pricing plans and renewals shall govern the maximum duration of purchase orders reflecting such pricing plans and renewals. Any purchase order terms and conditions conflicting with these Special Contract Conditions shall not become a part of the Contract.

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.
