STD213_Standard_Agreement.pdf

This is a California Standard Agreement (STD 213) form issued by the State of California Department of General Services for use by the California Public Utilities Commission. The document serves as a template for state contracts and establishes the foundational framework for agreement execution between the state agency and contractors. The form is designed to accommodate various contract types and includes designated sections for scope of work, budget details, payment provisions, and general and special terms and conditions. The agreement structure allows for specification of contract start and end dates, maximum contract amounts, and contractor information including business details and authorized representative signatures.

The document functions as a standardized contracting instrument that incorporates exhibits for scope definition (Exhibit A), budget and payment terms (Exhibit B), cost sheets (Exhibit B-1), general terms and conditions (GTC 02/2025), and special terms and conditions (Exhibit C and D). Specific pricing, set-asides, funding sources, and contract-specific requirements are to be populated within the applicable exhibits rather than in the template itself. The form includes approval signature blocks for both contractor and state agency representatives, with designated spaces for agency approval by the Department of General Services. This template approach enables the California Public Utilities Commission and other state agencies to execute compliant agreements with consistent legal and administrative provisions while allowing customization for individual procurement requirements.
