About this file

This document appears to be a pre-bid instruction file detailing milestone and deliverable requirements for a vendor contract. The contract requires the vendor to make contracted sites fully operational within 180 calendar days from contract execution. If the vendor anticipates missing the deadline, they must provide written notification at least 30 days prior to the deadline's expiration, including a detailed explanation of delays, corrective actions, and a proposed revised schedule.

The contract includes specific liquidated damages provisions for missed deadlines, with penalties calculated at 2% of the total site value (estimated at $50,000 per site) for each full week beyond the 180-day period, up to a maximum of 10% of the total site value. The State reserves the right to deduct these damages from vendor payments or invoice the vendor directly. The damages are intended to compensate for administrative burdens, interim service costs, and operational disruptions, and do not preclude the State from pursuing additional remedies under the agreement or applicable laws.

1.3. MILESTONES AND DELIVERABLES:

1.3.1 The Vendor shall make the contracted site fully operational and available for use at each designated location within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days from the date of contract execution, or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.

If the Vendor anticipates that it may not meet the 180-day deadline, it shall notify the State in writing as soon as practicable, and no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of the 180-day period. The notice must include a detailed explanation of the reason for the delay, corrective actions underway, and a proposed revised schedule. The State reserves the right to approve or reject any proposed revised schedule in its sole discretion.

Failure to meet the 180-day deadline, without an approved written extension from the State, shall constitute a material breach of contract and shall subject the Vendor to liquidated damages. Such damages shall be calculated at two percent (2%) of the total value of the affected site (estimated at $50,000 per site) for each full week beyond the 180-day period, up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the total site value.

These liquidated damages are not a penalty, but represent a reasonable estimate of the actual damages the State will suffer due to delays, including, but not limited to, administrative burden, costs of interim services, and disruption to State operations.

The State reserves the right to deduct such liquidated damages from any amounts otherwise due to the Vendor under this Agreement, or to invoice the Vendor directly. Nothing in this provision shall be construed to limit the State’s right to pursue any other remedies available under the terms of this Agreement or any applicable laws.
