This is a Standard Agreement (STD 213) between the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and a contractor for semimonthly inspection, maintenance, and servicing of the water treatment plant at San Joaquin Hatchery located in Friant, California. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals for twice-monthly inspection and maintenance of the facility's water treatment equipment, including pumps, filters, tanks, chemical systems, and associated plumbing and electrical systems. The contract term extends from CDFW approval through June 30, 2029, with an anticipated first maintenance visit scheduled for the first week of each month and a second visit during the third week of each month. The contractor must schedule appointments at least three business days in advance and perform all work during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.).

Compensation is provided on a flat-rate basis for each semimonthly inspection and maintenance service, with an estimated 72 services over the contract period and up to three diagnostic services, contingent upon actual completion and CDFW Contract Manager approval. The maximum agreement amount is not specified in the document provided (listed as "$Dollar Amount").

If you are a Contractor outside the State of California, you will need to submit to CDFW, a copy of your business license or incorporation papers for your respective State showing that your company is in good standing in that State.
In the event any licenses and/or permits expire at any time during the term of this Agreement, Contractor agrees to provide the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) a copy of the renewed licenses and/or permits within thirty (30) days following the expiration date. In the event the Contractor fails to keep all required licenses and permits current, the State may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, terminate this Agreement upon occurrence of such event.
2. RIGHTS IN DATA ~ The Contractor agrees that all data, plans, drawings, specifications, reports, computer programs, operating manuals, notes and other written or graphic work produced in the performance of this Agreement, are subject to the rights of the State as set forth in this section.
The State will have the right to reproduce, publish, and use all such work, or any part thereof, in any manner and for any purposes whatsoever and to authorize others to do so. If any such work is copyrightable, the Contractor may copyright the same, except that, as to any work which is copyrighted by the Contractor, the State reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, and use such work, or any part thereof, and to authorize others to do so.
3. RIGHT TO TERMINATE ~ CDFW reserves the right to terminate this agreement subject to 30 days written notice to the Contractor. Contractor may submit a written request to terminate this agreement only if the State should substantially fail to perform its responsibilities as provided herein.
However, the agreement can be immediately terminated for cause. The term “for cause” will mean that the Contractor fails to meet the terms, conditions, and/or responsibilities of the contract. In this instance, the contract termination will be effective as of the date indicated on the State’s notification to the Contractor.
This agreement may be suspended or cancelled without notice, at the option of the Contractor, if the Contractor or State’s premises or equipment are destroyed by fire or other catastrophe, or so substantially damaged that it is impractical to continue service.
4. SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES ~ Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this Agreement which cannot be resolved informally, will be decided by the following two (2) step procedure:
a. The Contractor must provide written notice of the particulars of such disputes to the CDFW Contract Manager or appointed representative. The CDFW Contract Manager must respond, in writing, within ten (10) working days of receipt of the written notice of dispute.

The second level appeal must be filed within fifteen (15) working days upon receipt of the CDFW Contract Manager’s decision. Failure to submit an appeal within the period specified will constitute a waiver of all such rights to an adjustment of this Agreement.

The Contractor will not be required to keep confidential any data or information which is publicly available, independently developed by the Contractor, or lawfully obtained from third parties.

9. DISABLED VETERAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DVBE) PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
~ The Contractor agrees to use DVBE subcontractors or suppliers originally identified by the Contractor, unless the Contractor requests substitution, in writing beforehand to the CDFW Contract Manager and the CDFW Contract Manager has approved such substitution. At a minimum, the request must include:
a. A written explanation of the reason for the substitution; and
b. The identity of the person or firm substituted.
The request and the CDFW Contract Manager’s approval is not to be construed as an excuse for noncompliance with any other provision of law, including but not limited to the subletting and subcontracting Fair Practices Act or any other Agreement requirements relating to the substitution of subcontractors. Failure to adhere to at least the level of participation for DVBE proposed by the Contractor may be cause for Agreement termination and recovery of damages under the rights and remedies due the State.
If the Contractor enters into a subcontract with a DVBE, CDFW and the Contractor are required to follow Military and Veterans Code Sections 999.5, 999.55 and 999.7.
Pursuant to the Military and Veterans Code (M&VC) Section 999.5, when a Contractor has entered into a subcontract with a DVBE, the Contractor must complete a Prime Contractor’s DVBE Subcontracting Report (STD 817), within 60 days after receiving final payment. Upon request by CDFW, the Contractor must provide proof of total payment amount to the DVBE subcontractor.
A person or entity that knowingly provides false information will be subject to a civil penalty for each violation in the minimum amount of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) and the maximum amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). An action for a civil penalty under this subdivision may be brought by any public prosecutor in the name of the people of the State of California and the penalty imposed will be enforceable as a civil judgment.
Pursuant to the M&VC Section 999.7, CDFW will withhold ten thousand dollars ($10,000) from the final payment, or the full final payment if less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), until the Contractor complies with the certification requirements of Military and Veterans Code Section
999.5. Contractors that fail to comply with the certification requirements will be given notice and allowed to cure the defect. If after 15 calendar days but not more than 30 calendar days from the date of the notice, the Contractor fails to comply with the certification requirements, CDFW will permanently deduct ten thousand dollars ($10,000) from the final payment, or the full payment if less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The withholding applies to all procurement approaches with a DVBE subcontractor, as defined by M&VC Section 999(b)(4).
