Standard Terms~87.pdf

This document is the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions for state and local contracts, issued by the Chief Procurement Office General Services. These are standard contractual terms that apply to vendors entering into agreements with the State of Illinois and its agencies. The document establishes uniform requirements and expectations governing the relationship between the State and vendors across all procurement activities.

The document establishes comprehensive operational and compliance requirements for vendors rather than specific goods or services. Key provisions include payment terms governed by the State Prompt Payment Act, with late payment charges applied per 30 ILCS 540; minority contractor initiative fees of $15 for contracts valued at $1,000 or more; prevailing wage compliance requirements for applicable categories including public works and janitorial services; and mandatory insurance coverage including General Commercial Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, Auto Liability of $1,000,000, and Workers' Compensation as required by law. The contract requires vendor maintenance of books and records for three years following final payment, prohibits assignment without State consent, mandates prior written approval for subcontractors, and establishes State ownership of all work products and intellectual property. Additional requirements include compliance with federal, state and local laws; equal opportunity employment standards; background checks for security purposes; and adherence to prevailing wage rates established by the Illinois Department of Labor. The State retains termination rights for cause with written notice and cure periods, or for convenience with thirty days' notice. The contract is contingent upon appropriated funds and subject to Illinois law.
