4.4.3 All other prices shall be held firm throughout the term of the contract.

5. SPECIFICATIONS

The apparent silence of the Specifications (including any supplemental Specifications) as to any detail, or the apparent omission of a detailed description concerning any point, shall be regarded as meaning that Contractor shall meet the highest standards prevalent in the industry or business most closely involved in providing the Goods to be provided under the Contract.

The Specifications applicable to any Goods provided under the Contract are set forth in Exhibit A to this Contract.

6.STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6.1CONFLICT OF INTEREST (COI): Contractor shall comply with the ODOT COI Guidelines (as may be revised from time to time) available at: https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/Business/Procurement/Pages/PSK.aspx. Contractor shall immediately submit to ODOT an accurate and complete Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form (available at the above website) if any disclosures are required per the ODOT COI Guidelines.

6.2 Delivery Terms. All Goods shall be provided F.O.B. destination with all transportation and handling charges paid by Contractor, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by ODOT. Responsibility and liability for loss or damage shall remain with Contractor until final inspection and acceptance.

6.3 INSPECTIONS. Goods furnished under this Contract shall be subject to inspection and test by ODOT at times and places determined by ODOT. ODOT may request to have a pre-delivery inspection at Contractor's location to ensure specification compliance PRIOR TO DELIVERY. If ODOT finds Goods to be incomplete, not in compliance with Contract requirements, or deficient in any way, ODOT, at its sole discretion, may either reject the Goods , require Contractor to correct any deficiencies without charge, or negotiate with Contractor to sell the Goods to ODOT at a reduced price, whichever ODOT deems equitable under the circumstances. ODOT will provide written notice of any rejected Goods that, at a minimum, itemizes the apparent deficiencies. If Contractor is unable or refuses to cure any deficiencies within a time deemed reasonable by ODOT, ODOT may reject the Goods and cancel the Contract in whole or in part. Nothing in this paragraph shall in any way affect or limit ODOT’s rights as Buyer under the Uniform Commercial Code including but not limited to the rights and remedies relating to rejection under ORS 72.6020 and revocation of acceptance under ORS 72.6080. ODOT’s review, approval or acceptance of, or payment for, the Goods required under the Contract shall not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under the Contract or of any cause of action arising out of the Contractor’s performance, and Contractor shall be and shall remain liable to ODOT in accordance with applicable law for all damages to ODOT caused by Contractor’s performance or failure of any of the Goods furnished under the Contract.

6.4 INVOICES. Contractor shall submit invoice(s) to ODOT’s Contract Administrator listed on page 1 after ODOT’s acceptance of Goods provided under this Contract. . Contractor’s invoice must include:

· Contract number;

· The description and quantity of Goods ordered, the quantity of Goods delivered, the date Goods were delivered, the price per unit, if applicable;

· The total amount due and the payment address.

6.5COMPENSATION
6.5.1Payment terms. No Payment shall be made for Goods provided before all necessary governmental approvals have been obtained, the Contract is fully executed, and a Notice-To-Proceed or a PO has been issued by ODOT. Payment to Contractor for Goods provided will normally be made within 30 calendar days following the date the invoice (prepared in conformance with Contract requirements) is received. After 45 calendar days, Contractor may assess overdue account charges to ODOT on unpaid invoices only in accordance with ORS 293.462. Contractor shall not be compensated by any other agency or department of the State for Goods or Services provided under the Contract.

6.5.2 Direct Deposit via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). For Contractors that receive ongoing monthly payments from ODOT on one or more contracts or price agreements, ODOT prefers making payments via ACH direct deposit. While not required, if Contractor has not previously authorized ACH direct deposit and would prefer ACH to expedite transfer of payments after invoices are approved, Contractor must complete a Vendor ACH Authorization form and submit to ODOT per the instructions on the form.

6.5.3 Basis of Payment. Full completion. ODOT will pay all amounts due upon approval of Contractor’s invoice, but only after ODOT has determined that Contractor has provided and ODOT has accepted all Goods required and in conformance with Contract and PO requirements.

6.5.4 Expenses. All Contractor travel and other expenses, if any, are included in the fixed-price amount(s) established in the Contract and are not separately reimbursable under the Contract.

a. Discriminatory Wage Rates Prohibited. As required by ORS 279B.235, Contractor must comply with ORS 652.220 and shall not unlawfully discriminate against any of Contractor’s employees in the payment of wages or other compensation for work of comparable character on the basis of an employee’s membership in a protected class. “Protected class” means a group of persons distinguished by race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability, or age. Contractor’s compliance with this section constitutes a material element of this Contract and a failure to comply constitutes a breach that entitles ODOT to terminate this Contract for cause.

b. Employee Discussions Regarding Compensation. As required by ORS 279B.235, Contractor may not prohibit any of its employees from discussing the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits or other compensation with another employee or another person and may not retaliate against an employee who discusses the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits or other compensation with another employee or another person.

6.27 COUNTERPARTS.

6.28 MERGER; AMENDMENT; WAIVER; INTERPRETATION. The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties on the subject matter thereof.

This Contract may be amended, within the scope of this procurement, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and administrative rules. No waiver, consent, modification or change of terms of the Contract (collectively, "Amendment") shall bind either Party unless it is in writing and signed by both Parties and all necessary approvals have been obtained. Amendments shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. The failure of ODOT to enforce any provision of the Contract shall not constitute a waiver by ODOT of that or any other provision. The characterization of provisions of the Contract as material provisions or the failure to comply with certain provisions as a material breach of the Contract shall in no way be construed to mean that any other provisions of the Contract are not material or that failure to comply with any other provisions is not a material breach of the Contract.

6.29 CERTIFIED SMALL BUSINESSES. Respecting certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise, minority-owned business, woman-owned business, business that a service-disabled veteran owns or an emerging small business under ORS 200.055, as and when applicable, the Contractor shall maintain the certifications, and require in its subcontracts that subcontractors maintain the certifications required by ORS 279A.107 as a material condition of the Contract. If the Contractor or subcontractor was awarded the Contract or subcontract, as applicable, in the course of ODOT carrying out an affirmative action goal, policy or program under ORS 279A.100, and Contractor or subcontractor fails to maintain the required certification, ODOT may terminate the Contract, require the Contractor to terminate the subcontractor, or exercise any of remedies reserved for breach of the Contract (except as provided under ORS 279A.107(2)(c)). Contractor shall promptly provide written notice to ODOT if Contractor or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain an applicable certification under this provision.

6.30 ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.
