Trio Northwest Amendments.pdf

This is a Contract Amendment between the State of Washington, specifically the Department of Enterprise Services, and Trio Northwest Business Solutions, Inc. (doing business as Trio Group), a Washington profit corporation. The document is the Second Amendment to Contract No. 20422 for Communications and Marketing Services, dated June 1, 2025, involving a state governmental agency and a contractor.

The amendment extends the contract term by thirty-six (36) months, with the new end date being February 28, 2029. Additionally, it adds a "pay equality" provision requiring the contractor to compensate 'similarly employed' individuals as equals, with allowances for differentials based on legitimate factors such as seniority, merit systems, and bona fide job-related factors. The contract appears to be for communication and marketing services, with provisions for pass-through costs related to media buys, telecommunications, mailing, postage, delivery, photography, advertisement space, and other third-party expenses. The amendment also ensures that the contractor can be suspended or terminated if they fail to provide satisfactory evidence of compliance with the pay equality provision within thirty days.
