The State may terminate for cause if vendors fail to comply with terms or for convenience without penalty and may pursue damages including administrative fees, court costs, and attorney fees. All contracts are governed by Michigan law and subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws, including prevailing wage and nondiscrimination requirements.
