2. PR I C E E SC A L A T I O N - D E - E SC A L A T I ON : Discounts are to be considered the minimum for the entire term of the resulting contract. Price adjustments and/or discount adjustments may be permitted for changes in the contractor’s cost of materials, services and other items that may not affect the price.

The contractor shall document the amount of any general change in the price of materials. Documentation shall be supplied with the contractor’s request for increase which will: (1) verify that the requested price increase is general in scope and not applicable just to the Commonwealth of Virginia; and (2) verify the amount or percentage of increase which is being passed on to the contractor by the contractor’s suppliers. All changes in the prices and / or discounts applicable to the Commonwealth must be approved in writing prior to implementation by the contractor(s). The contractor shall fill all purchase orders received prior to the effective date of the price adjustment at the old contract prices. The contractor is further advised that decreases which affect the cost of materials are required to be communicated immediately to the purchasing office.

3. C AN C E L L A T IO N O F C O N T R A C T: The purchasing agency reserves the right to cancel and terminate this contract, in part or in whole, without penalty, upon 60 days written notice to the Contractor. In the event the initial contract period is for more than 12 months, the resulting contract may be terminated by either party, without penalty, after the initial 12 months of the contract period upon 60 days written notice to the other party. Any contract cancellation notice shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligation to deliver and/or perform on all outstanding orders issued prior to the effective date of cancellation.

4. A P P L I C A B LE L A WS A N D C OU R T S : This contract and any resulting modifications shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and any litigation with respect thereto shall be brought in the courts of the Commonwealth. The agency and the Contractor are encouraged to resolve any issues in controversy arising from the award of the contract or any contractual dispute using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures (Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4366). ADR procedures are described in Chapter 9 of the Vendors Manual. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations.

5. AN T I- D I S C R I M I NA T I O N : Contractor certifies to the Commonwealth that they will conform to the provisions of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, as well as the Virginia Fair Employment Contracting Act of 1975, as amended, where applicable, the Virginians With Disabilities Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act and § 2.2-4311 of the Virginia Public Procurement Act (VPPA). If the award is made to a faith-based organization, the organization shall not discriminate against any recipient of goods, services, or disbursements made pursuant to the contract on the basis of the recipient's religion, religious belief, refusal to participate in a religious practice, or on the basis of race, age, color, gender or national origin and shall be subject to the same rules as other organizations that contract with public bodies to account for the use of the funds provided; however, if the faith-based organization segregates public funds into separate

Michele Skaggs, 11/17/16,
This is where the appropriate terms and conditions are included from the solicitation and/or any negotiated changes – BUT – they aren’t just cut/pasted over. There will need to be procedures, but also training on a methodology – it’s a thought process, not just a check box. Thoughts: in the solicitation, there are general Ts & Cs and special Ts & Cs. There are regulations surrounding each set, but at a negotiated contract, they can just become Ts & Cs – there is no need to separate them. In the solicitation, vendors are referred to as bidders or offerors as appropriate. In the contract document, they’re changed to contractor. Any T & C that is relevant only to the solicitation process can be omitted from the contract document. For example, there’s a T & C that any bid/proposal must be submitted on the proper form. There’s no need for that in the contract document. Also, if there are similar generals and specials in the solicitation, they can now ‘live’ together – where they make sense. If there’s a general on delivery and a more detailed special for delivery, put them near each other. Or if one over-rules the other or creates confusion, omit one – or redraft it based on negotiated changes.

accounts, only the accounts and programs funded with public funds shall be subject to audit by the public body. (Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4343.1E).

The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

b. The Contractor, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, will state that such Contractor is an equal opportunity employer.

c. Notices, advertisements and solicitations placed in accordance with federal law, rule or regulation shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose of meeting these requirements.

2. The Contractor will include the provisions of 1. above in every subcontract or purchase order over$10,000, so that the provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor.

6. AU D I T : The contractor shall retain all books, records, and other documents relative to this contract for five(5) years after final payment, or until audited by the Commonwealth of Virginia, whichever is sooner. The agency, its authorized agents, and/or state auditors shall have full access to and the right to examine any ofsaid materials during said period.

8. E T H I C S I N P U B L I C C O N T R A C T I N G : By entering into this contract, Contractor certifies that their participation in the procurement process is made without collusion or fraud and that they have not offered or received any kickbacks or inducements from any other offeror, supplier, manufacturer or subcontractor in connection with their proposal, and that they have not conferred on any public employee having official responsibility for this procurement transaction any payment, loan, subscription, advance, deposit of money, services or anything of more than nominal value, present or promised, unless consideration of substantially equal or greater value was exchanged.

Page 5 of 11CONTRACT VCCS-ITS-16-080-MAI

a. Invoices for items ordered, delivered and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor directly to the payment address shown on the purchase order/contract. All invoices shall show the state contract number and/or purchase order number; social security number (for individual Contractors) or the federal employer identification number (for proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations).

e. Unreasonable Charges. Under certain emergency procurements and for most time and material purchases, final job costs cannot be accurately determined at the time orders are placed. In such cases, Contractors should be put on notice that final payment in full is contingent on a determination of reasonableness with respect to all invoiced charges. Charges which appear to be unreasonable will be researched and challenged, and that portion of the invoice held in abeyance until a settlement can be reached. Upon determining that invoiced charges are not reasonable, the Commonwealth shall promptly notify the Contractor, in writing, as to those charges which it considers unreasonable and the basis for the determination. A Contractor may not institute legal action unless a settlement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days of notification. The provisions of this section do not relieve an agency of its prompt payment obligations with respect to those charges which are not in dispute (Code of Virginia, § 2.2-4363).

2. To Subcontractors:

a. Contractor is hereby obligated:

(1) To pay the subcontractor(s) within seven (7) days of the Contractor’s receipt of payment from the Commonwealth for the proportionate share of the payment received for work performed by the subcontractor(s) under the contract; or

(2) To notify the agency and the subcontractor(s), in writing, of the Contractor’s intention to withhold payment and the reason.

The date of mailing of any payment by U. S. Mail is deemed to be payment to the addressee. These provisions apply to each sub-tier Contractor performing under the primary contract. A Contractor’s obligation to pay an interest charge to a subcontractor may not be construed to be an obligation of the Commonwealth.

GO O D S AN D P R I C I N G S CH E DU LE

Attachment "A" is hereby incorporated into and made an integral part of contract VCCS-ITS-16- 080-MAI. In the event of any discrepancy between this Attachment “A” and the Contract, the provisions of the Contract shall control.

I. LIS T I N G OF G OO D S A N D SE R V I C E S

All requirements stated in the Commonwealth’s RFP VCCS-IT-16-080, Section III, entitled “Statement of Needs”; and the Solution, including all goods and services, and integral products to the Solution, as applicable and as delineated in Contractor's proposal, submitted in response thereto, for the provision of network managed services as delineated therein, in accordance with the following, or as otherwise stipulated in any Modification to this Contract.

II. T I E R S CH E DU L E

MAI’s managed service solution will be provided through MAI’s Network Monitoring Software (NMS) platform from our Network Operations Center (NOC). This platform in addition to MAI’s proposed staff, offers all of the required solution features, as outlined below.

• Provide 24/7/365 monitoring and alerting from a staffed NOC.• Tool must allow VCCS staff access.

o SNMP and ICMP Basedo Error Rates on Packets Sent/Receivedo Traffic Analysiso NAT Exceptions

• Automatic alerts on service impacting network issues to the Director ofEnterprise.

• Services, within 60 minutes of the incident, as well as a follow-up phone call• Incident Closure by mutual agreement.• Staff dispatch decision made within 90 minutes.• Inventory of comparable equipment maintained to ensure high levels of uptime.• Updates and patches will be scheduled in advance and installed during

the VCCS maintenance window or as mutually determined.• Backup of Routers as well as all other network device configurations.• Access tables for devices verified.• QOS definitions to prioritize mission critical traffic.

Michele Skaggs, 11/17/16,
Other good section ideas: Authorized users – maybe it’s only for 3 colleges; maybe it’s a coop; who the contract administrator is; delivery requirements, who to call when you get to campus, etc.
Michele Skaggs, 11/17/16,
This section was specific to this contract – not a requirement. Sections can be added or deleted as needed. Other sections might include information from the statement of needs, proposal, specific requirements, service level agreements, performance metrics, etc. The purpose is to outline the expectations within the contract. While there is detail in the proposal that is still relevant, it may not need to be included in the contract. For example, there may be 10 pages of information in the proposal describing how they are going to install a piece of equipment. The statement here might only include the specific information and expectations needed to do / manage the contract. For many of our contracts, there are going to be sections for PM and IT as well.
Michele Skaggs, 11/17/16,
What are we contracting for? In short, everything we asked for in the SON and everything you proposed. There could be more general language to identify the purpose of the contract.
Michele Skaggs, 11/17/16,
This statement ties it as binding to the contract document
Michele Skaggs, 11/17/16,
This is where we get into the specific details of the contract. The actual contract isn’t likely to change … but the attachment A (and/or subsequent attachments) may. This allows a modification, and revised attachment without changing the contract document.
