Notice of rejection may be made to Supplier at any time within 1 month after delivery to the University.
- No Replacement of Defective Tender. Every tender of Goods will fully comply with all provisions of the Agreement as to time of delivery, quantity, quality, and the like. If a tender is made that does not fully conform, this will constitute a breach and Supplier will not have the right to substitute a conforming tender.
- Business Continuity Plan. If requested by the University, Supplier will provide to the University, within 30 days after such request, a comprehensive plan for continuing the performance of its obligations during a Public or Institutional Emergency (the "Business Continuity Plan"). The Business Continuity Plan, at a minimum, will address the following: 1) identification of response personnel by name; 2) key succession and performance responses in the event of sudden and significant decrease in workforce; 3) contingency plans for the Supplier to continue the performance of its obligations under the Agreement, despite the emergency and 4) if Supplier will store, have access to, or otherwise process any University Data, a data recovery plan that includes the following: identification of data recovery personnel by name, how University Data will be recovered, recovery point and recovery time objectives, and steps to be taken to recover University Data. If the University requires a data recovery plan, upon the University’s request, Supplier will provide the University with evidence that Supplier annually tests the data recovery plan. In the event of a Public or Institutional Emergency, Supplier will implement the applicable actions set forth in the Business Continuity Plan and will make other commercially practicable efforts to mitigate the impact of the event. For clarification of intent, Supplier will not be entitled to any additional compensation or extension of time by virtue of having to implement a Business Continuity Plan, unless otherwise agreed to by the University in writing. A "Public or Institutional Emergency" means a natural or human made event that creates a substantial risk to the public, that causes or threatens death or injury to the general public, or that causes a significant disruption to the day-to-day business operations of the University.
- Gratuities. Supplier will not give or offer any gratuities, in the form of entertainment, gifts or otherwise, or use an agent or representative of Supplier to give or offer a gratuity, to any officer or employee of the State of Arizona with a view toward securing an agreement or securing favorable treatment with respect to the awarding or amending, or the making of any determinations with respect to the performing of such Agreement. If the University determines that Supplier has violated this section, the University may, by written notice to Supplier, cancel the Agreement. If the Agreement is canceled by the University pursuant to this section, the University will be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies, to recover or withhold the amount of the costs incurred by Supplier in providing gratuities.
- Modifications. The Agreement may be modified or rescinded only by a writing signed by both parties.
- Interpretation-Parol Evidence. The Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of the trade will be relevant to supplement or explain any term used in the Agreement. Acceptance or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under the Agreement will not be relevant to determine the meaning of the Agreement even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection.
- No Waiver. No waiver by the University of any breach of the provisions of the Agreement by Supplier will be construed to be a waiver of any future breach or bar the University's right to insist on strict performance of the Agreement.
- Assignment of Anti-Trust Overcharge Claims. In actual economic practice, overcharges resulting from anti- trust violations are borne by the ultimate purchaser. Therefore, Supplier hereby assigns to the University any and all claims for such overcharges.
- Sales and Use Tax. Supplier will comply, and require all of the Supplier Parties to comply, with all applicable state and sales excise tax laws and compensation use tax laws and all amendments to same. Supplier will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the University, for, from, and against any and all claims and demands made against it by virtue of the failure of Supplier or any subcontractor to comply with the provisions of any or all tax laws and amendments. The University is not exempt from state sales excise tax and compensation use tax.
- Parking. Supplier will obtain all parking permits and/or decals required while performing any work on the University premises. If needed, Supplier should contact the University Parking and Transportation.
- Campus Deliveries and Mall Access. Supplier will familiarize itself with UA parking, campus delivery options, and loading zones. Not all campus buildings are directly accessible and some require Supplier to unload at lots or loading areas that may not be adjacent to the delivery or work location. As a result, Supplier must then transport Goods by using electric style golf carts, dolly, or other manual device across pedestrian pathways. For details about parking permits, supplier permits and loading zones, go to parking.arizona.edu.
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. To the extent applicable, Supplier will abide by all laws and regulations that protect the privacy of healthcare information to which Supplier obtains access under the Agreement. Certain portions of the Administrative Simplification section of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), as codified at 42 U.S.C. § 1320d through d-8, and the federal privacy regulations as contained in 45 CFR Part 164 may apply to Supplier and the University, and their relationships and operation under the Agreement. If necessary, Supplier and the University will enter into a standard Business Associate Agreement, and any other required HIPAA agreements. To the extent the terms thereof relate to Supplier’s performance under the Agreement, the provisions of the Business Associate Agreement will control.
- Liens. All Goods/Services delivered and performed under the Agreement will be free of all liens and, if the University requests, Supplier will deliver to the University a formal release of all liens.
- Performance and Payment Bonds. At the request of the University, Supplier will provide and pay for performance and payment bonds. Bonds will cover the faithful performance (100%) of the Agreement and the payment of all obligations (100%) thereunder, in such form as the University may prescribe. Supplier will deliver the required bonds to the University not later than the date of executing the Agreement. Supplier will require the attorney in fact who executes the required bonds on behalf of surety to affix thereto a certified and current copy of his/her power of attorney indicating the monetary limit of such power. Surety will be a company licensed to do business in the State of Arizona and will be acceptable to the University. Supplier will increase the bond amount to include any change order, at 100% of the total value amount of each change order.
- Price Adjustment. The University normally considers price changes at the end of one contract period and the beginning of another. Price change requests will be supported by evidence of increased costs to Supplier. The University will not approve price increases that will merely increase gross profitability of Supplier at the expense of the University. Price change requests will be a factor in the contract extension review process. The University will determine whether any requested price increase or an alternate option is in the best interest of the University. Any price adjustment to the Agreement will require an updated PO.
- Academic Freedom and Accreditation. The University will maintain ultimate authority over all curriculum. Nothing in the Agreement will limit the University’s academic freedom or require the University to violate any of the policies, standards, and requirements of ABOR or any accrediting entities.
- Essence of Time. Time will be of the essence as to matters contemplated by the Agreement.
- Non-Discrimination. The parties will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and executive orders governing equal employment opportunity, immigration, and nondiscrimination, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. If applicable, the parties will abide by the requirements of 41 CFR §§ 60- 1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, protected veteran status or disability.
- Conflict of Interest. If within 3 years after the execution of the Agreement, Supplier hires as an employee or agent any University representative who was significantly involved in negotiating, securing, drafting, or creating the Agreement, then the University may cancel the Agreement as provided in ARS § 38-511.
- Arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate disputes filed in Arizona Superior Court that are subject to mandatory arbitration pursuant to ARS § 12-133.
- Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises under the Agreement, the parties will exhaust all applicable administrative remedies provided for under Arizona Board of Regents Policy 3-809.
- Records. To the extent required by ARS § 35-214, Supplier will retain all records relating to the Agreement. Supplier will make those records available at all reasonable times for inspection and audit by the University or the Auditor General of the State of Arizona during the term of the Agreement and for 5 years after the completion of the Agreement. The records will be provided at the University in Tucson, Arizona, or another location designated by the University on reasonable notice to Supplier.
- Failure of Legislature to Appropriate. In accordance with ARS § 35-154, if the University’s performance under the Agreement depends on the appropriation of funds by the Arizona Legislature, and if the Legislature fails to appropriate the funds necessary for performance, then the University may provide written notice of this to Supplier and cancel the Agreement without further obligation of the University. Appropriation is a legislative act and is beyond the control of the University.
- Weapons, Explosives, and Fireworks. The University’s Weapons, Explosives, and Fireworks Policy prohibits the use, possession, display or storage of any weapon, explosive device or fireworks on all land and buildings owned, leased, or under the control of the University or its affiliated entities, in all University residential facilities (whether managed by the University or another entity), in all University vehicles, and at all University or University affiliate sponsored events and activities, except as provided in ARS § 12- 781, or unless written permission is given by the University’s Police Chief or a designated representative. Supplier will notify all persons or entities who are employees, officers, subcontractors, consultants, agents, guests, invitees or licensees of Supplier of this policy and Supplier will enforce this policy against all such persons and entities.
- Confidentiality. The University, as a public institution, is subject to ARS §§ 39-121 to 39-127 regarding public records. Any provision regarding confidentiality is limited to the extent necessary to comply with Arizona law.
- Indemnification and Liability Limitations. Because the University is a public institution, any indemnification, liability limitation, releases, or hold harmless provisions are limited as required by Arizona law, including Article 9, Sections 5 and 7 of the Arizona Constitution and ARS §§ 35-154 and 41-621. The University’s liability under any claim for indemnification is limited to claims for property damage, personal injury, or death to the extent caused by acts or omissions of the University.
- Advertising, Publicity, Names and Marks. Supplier will not do any of the following, without, in each case, the University’s prior written consent: (i) use any names, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos, or other identifying names, domain names, or identifying marks of the University ("University Marks"), including online, advertising, or promotional purposes; (ii) issue a press release or public statement regarding the Agreement; or (iii) represent or imply any University endorsement or support of any product or service in any public or private communication. Any permitted use of University Marks must comply with the University’s requirements, including using the ® indication of a registered mark.
- Privacy; Educational Records. Student educational records are protected by the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and its implementing regulations ("FERPA"). Supplier will not require any University students or employees to waive any privacy rights (including FERPA or the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR")) as a condition for receipt of any educational services, and any attempt to do so will be void. Supplier will comply with FERPA and will not access or make any disclosures of student educational records to third parties without prior notice to and consent from the University or as otherwise provided by law. If the Agreement requires or permits Supplier to access or release any student records, then, for purposes of the Agreement only, the University designates Supplier as a “school official” for the University under FERPA, as that term is used in FERPA. In addition, any access or disclosures of student educational records made by Supplier or any Supplier Parties must comply with the University’s definition of legitimate educational purpose in FERPA: Release of Student Information. If Supplier violates the terms of this section, Supplier will immediately provide notice of the violation to the University.
Supplier will continually monitor its operations and take any action necessary to assure that the FERPA Records are safeguarded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the request of the University, Supplier agrees to provide the University with a written summary of the procedures Supplier uses to safeguard the FERPA Records. - Data Protection. Supplier will ensure that all services undertaken pursuant to the Agreement are performed in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, rules, and regulations. In addition, Supplier is responsible to University for compliance with the Agreement by all Supplier Parties. If Supplier will serve as a Processor of University Data that includes Personal Data of Data Subjects in the European Union, Supplier will cooperate with University to comply with the GDPR with respect to such Personal Data and Data Subjects. This includes ensuring that all Data Subjects have signed appropriate Consents and signing and complying with all documents and agreements reasonably requested by University, including any data processing agreements. All capitalized terms in this section not otherwise defined in the Agreement are defined in the GDPR.
- Authorized Presence Requirements. As required by ARS § 41-4401, the University is prohibited from awarding a contract to any contractor or subcontractor that fails to comply with ARS § 23-214(A) (verification of employee eligibility through the e-verify program). Supplier warrants that it and its subcontractors comply fully with all applicable immigration laws, rules, and regulations that relate to their employees and their compliance with ARS § 23-214(A). A breach of this warranty will be a material breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and including termination of the Agreement. The University retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any contractor or subcontractor employee who works hereunder to ensure that the contractor or subcontractor is complying with the above warranty.
- Small Business. If subcontracting (Tier 2 and higher) is necessary, Supplier will make commercially reasonable efforts to use Small Business (SB) and Small Diverse Business (SDB) in the performance of the Goods/Services. The University may request a report at each annual anniversary date and at the completion of the Agreement indicating the extent of SB and SDB participation.
- Tobacco Free. The University is tobacco-free. For details visit the Smoking and Tobacco Policy.
- Title IX Obligation. Title IX protects individuals from discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment. The University fosters a learning and working environment built on respect and free of sexual harassment. The University’s Title IX Guidance is available online. Supplier will: (i) comply with the University’s Title IX Guidance; (ii) provide the University’s Title IX Guidance to any Supplier Parties reasonably expected to interact with University students or employees, in person or online; and (iii) ensure that all Supplier Parties comply with the University’s Title IX Guidance.
- No Boycott of Israel. If the Goods/Services provided under this Agreement include the acquisition of services, supplies, information technology or construction with a value of at least $100,000 and Supplier is engaged in for-profit activity and has 10 or more full-time employees, then, to the extent required by ARS § 35-393.01, Supplier certifies it is not currently engaged in, and during the term of this Agreement will not engage in, a boycott of goods or services from Israel.
- Insurance Requirements. Without limiting any liability of or any other obligation of Supplier, Supplier will purchase and maintain (and cause its subcontractors to purchase and maintain), until all of their obligations have been discharged or satisfied, including any warranty periods under the Agreement, insurance against claims that may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by Supplier, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors, as described at PO Insurance Requirements. In addition, Supplier and the University will reasonably cooperate to reach mutual agreement if the State of Arizona requires modification or variation from the Insurance Requirements.
- Provision of Goods/Services to the University Component Units. In addition to providing the Goods/Services to the University, Supplier will provide some or all of the Goods/Services to each of the University’s Component Units that so requests. Supplier will enter into a Consent and Agreement to be Bound with each such requesting Component Unit, and except as may be set forth in the Consent and Agreement to be Bound, Supplier will provide the Goods/Services to each such Component Unit to the same extent and on the same terms provided to the University under this Agreement. The University’s "Component Units" are described in the University’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (Note B to Financial Statements).
- Third-Party Arrangements. From time to time, the University may enter into arrangements with third parties that may require Supplier to work cooperatively with and/or connect and use infrastructure with third parties. On a case-by-case basis, the University and Supplier will work cooperatively, timely, and in good faith to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the University’s third-party agreements. Supplier will not be bound to terms and conditions of a third party that are different from this Agreement unless expressly agreed in writing. If the third-party terms and conditions conflict with this Agreement’s terms, impact Supplier’s ability to meet service level agreements of this Agreement, or may cause Supplier to incur additional costs, then the parties will enter into good faith negotiations for an amendment to this Agreement prior to Supplier agreeing to compliance with the third-party terms and conditions.
- Independent Contractor. Supplier is an independent contractor. Neither the University nor Supplier may bind the other. None of the Supplier Parties will be employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of the University. None of the Supplier Parties will be eligible for any benefits from the University, including worker’s compensation coverage. Supplier is responsible to the University for compliance with the Agreement by the Supplier Parties. Supplier will determine Supplier’s hours of work, and will provide all tools, equipment, and supplies Supplier determines to be necessary to deliver and perform the Goods/Services. Supplier will maintain all business registrations and licenses required to deliver and perform the Goods/Services. Supplier is using its own knowledge, skill, and technical know-how in the delivery and performance of the Goods/Services and is not being supervised by the University. The conduct and control of Services lies solely with Supplier, and the University is interested only in final results.
- No Forced Labor of Ethnic Uyghurs. To the extent required by A.R.S. § 35-394, Supplier certifies it is not currently, and during the term of this Agreement will not use: 1) the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China; 2) any goods or services produced by the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China; or 3) any contractors, subcontractors or suppliers that use the forced labor or any goods or services produced by the forced labor of the ethnic Uyghurs in the People’s Republic of China. If Supplier becomes aware during the term of the agreement that it is not in compliance with this written certification, it shall notify the University within five (5) business days of becoming aware of the noncompliance.
- Expense Reimbursements. If authorized as part of any resulting contract, all reimbursable travel expenses must be authorized in writing by the University in advance of the planned travel and must be consistent with Financial Policy 9.12 Independent Contractor Services, items 33-42. Each request for reimbursement shall be itemized and accompanied by copies of original receipts. If applicable, reimbursements for airfare shall be for standard airline coach travel only. If applicable, reimbursement for auto travel and per diem shall be made at the rate permitted for State of Arizona employees. Note that the purchase of alcohol shall not be permitted as a reimbursable expense under this Contract. Vendor will submit all receipts and any required backup documentation to the University within 90 days after the applicable expenses were incurred. The University will not be required to reimburse Vendor for any expenses, invoices, or receipts for expenses received after that time.
- Federal Funding Provisions. If the Agreement involves the use of United States federal funds, including from a government grant or funds from a subcontract at any tier relating to a federal government grant, the following terms apply to the Agreement:
- Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment. If the Agreement is for $100,000 or more, Supplier will file the certifications required by 31 U.S.C 1352 and associated regulations. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not or has not used federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any federal contract, grant, or any other award covered by 31U.S.C. 1352. Each tier will also disclose any lobbying with non-federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining a federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the University.
- Debarment & Suspension. Supplier represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its subcontractors supplying the Goods/Services have either directly or indirectly or through subcontractors, been suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in or penalized by any federal or state procurement, non- procurement, or reimbursement program. Supplier affirms that it has confirmed the above statement by checking The System for Award Management (SAM) www.uscontractorregistration.com within 180 days prior to commencing work under the Agreement. Supplier will provide immediate written notice to the University upon learning that it or any of its subcontractors are under any investigation or proposed action that could result in such exclusion, suspension, or debarment.
- Rights to Inventions Made Under an Agreement or Agreement. If this Agreement is a “funding agreement” under 37 CFR 401.3, the Parties agree to incorporate by this reference the standard patent rights clause found in 37 CFR 401.14 and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.
- Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards. To the extent any of the provisions of 2 CFR Appendix II to Part 200 apply to this Agreement, such provisions are incorporated by reference.
- Government Subcontract Provisions. If this order is a subcontract under a U.S. government prime contract, the clauses referenced below of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations ("DFAR"), or the Armed Services Procurement Regulations (ASPR) are incorporated into the Agreement by this reference. Each regulation contains criteria for determining applicability of the regulation to a particular contract.
In the following clauses, the terms "Government" and "Contracting Officer" will mean the University; the term "Agreement" will mean the Agreement and the term “Contractor" will mean Supplier. Supplier will comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) and Debarment and Suspension (45 CFR 620).
For purchases funded with federal funds, the following provisions are incorporated into the Agreement by reference where applicable and form a part of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Supplier agrees to flow down all applicable clauses to lower-tier entities.
