I. BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE / OVERVIEW
A. Objective
The City of Fort Collins (City) and Colorado State University (CSU) are requesting
proposals from qualified Service Providers to develop, install, own, operate and maintain
a shared micromobility system. Submittals that do not accommodate both bike share
and scooter share will not be considered.
The City and CSU intend to select a single Service Provider and the ideal program will
incorporate state-of-the-art information technology with shared micromobility vehicles as
a transportation choice other than single occupancy vehicle trips for residents, employees,
and visitors. The system will be owned and operated by the successful applicant
(hereinafter Service Provider) for an initial one- or multi-year term with option to renew for
additional terms with a desired launch date in July 2026. The program will hereafter be
referred to as shared micromobility.
The program will build on the success of Fort Collins’ current shared e-bikes/e-scooters
and its previous shared micromobility. The City’s previous shared micromobility began in
2008 with the Fort Collins Bike Library, with a primary goal of expanding the fleet size and
increasing system density. The contract for Fort Collins’ current shared micromobility
(Spin), launched in July 2021. The end date of the current Spin contract is June 30, 2026.
With the rapidly evolving shared micromobility industry, the City and CSU will utilize this
opportunity to ensure Fort Collins’ shared micromobility provides the optimal solution for
the community and best achieves the program goals. The City and CSU are open to a
wide variety of innovative shared micromobility solutions to achieve the goals set forth in
this RFP. The City and CSU each plan to award the selected Service Provider separate
and independent Service Agreements.
Shared Micromobility Objectives
The City and CSU seek to build on the success of their previous shared micromobility
programs and grow shared micromobility ridership in the community. The Service
Provider’s ability to support achievement of the primary program goals stated below and
demonstrated alignment with the scope of services will be primary considerations in the
rating of the proposals:
1. Reduce emissions and single-occupant-vehicle trips through mode shift.
2. Access for people with low income and people with disabilities.
3. Collaborative partnership with City, CSU, and community.
4. Safety and app functionality.
5. Program continuity and uptime.
B. Background
Fort Collins is a vibrant community of approximately 170,376 located 65 miles north of
Denver, at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The City is 58 square miles in
size and is the northern extension of the “Colorado Front Range” urban corridor. The City
tallied 1.73 million visitor days in 2016-17. Colorado State University is a land-grant
institution and a Carnegie Research University R1: Doctoral University (Very High
Research Activity). CSU’s population includes over 34,000 students and 7,000 faculty and
RFP 10155 Shared Micromobility Page 5 of 52
staff. The 586-acre main campus includes 15 residence halls with a capacity of about
6,300 students and over 1,700 apartment spaces for students with families, undergraduate
and graduate students. On football game days, CSU welcomes more than 40,000 fans to
campus. CSU also hosts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
The City and CSU are pleased to welcome a shared micromobility service provider as a
partner who will add to both the City and CSU’s sustainability- and accessibility-focused
transportation efforts. It is anticipated that the deployment of these modes will bring the
City closer to achieving its Climate Action Plan, Transportation Master Plan and Active
Modes Plan goals, and will bring CSU closer to achieving its Climate Action Plan and
Transportation Demand Management Master Plan goals. The City and CSU recognize the
potential of shared micromobility to help fill first mile/last mile geographic gaps in the City's
transit system, reduce motorized vehicle emissions, improve air quality, and expand
sustainable and equitable travel options.
The City and CSU will evaluate the use of shared micromobility on an ongoing basis to
ensure that the selected Service Provider is appropriately operating in the public right of
way (ROW) and maintaining compliance with all rules, regulations and provisions of the
Service Agreements. Associated permits are subject to change at the City’s discretion as
provided in the City’s Municipal Code.
C. Shared Mobility History
Fort Collins launched its first bike lending program in 2008 with the Fort Collins Bike
Library. This program was funded by the City and through various grants, in-kind
donations, and community partners. The program was operated by Bike Fort Collins, a
501(c)(3) non-profit, and staffed by employees and volunteers. The Fort Collins Bike
Library offered a variety of bikes, from youth bikes to tandem bikes, and allowed users to
check out bikes for several days at a time. Between 2008 and 2015, the bike fleet grew
from 50 to 200 and recorded nearly 20,000 bike checkouts by over 15,000 riders. The Bike
Library initially operated out of an iconic kiosk in Fort Collins’ Old Town Square and
eventually moved to the City’s Downtown Transit Center. The Fort Collins Bike Library
was an attraction for visitors and integral to Fort Collins’ unique brand as a biking town.
Beginning in 2012, the City commissioned multiple studies and feasibility analyses to
evaluate alternatives for implementing an automated bike share program, building on the
success of the Fort Collins Bike Library, and including the 2014 Bike Share Business Plan.
All studies recommended Fort Collins advance an automated bike share program – noting
that Fort Collins had the many characteristics that would be conducive to a successful
system.
In 2015, the City released a RFP soliciting service providers to own and operate an
automated bike share program. The City selected Zagster, Inc. through this process and
launched the station-based bike share program in April 2016. The program launched with
13 stations and 66 bikes, mostly in downtown Fort Collins, and ultimately expanded to 250
bikes and 42 stations at its high point in 2020. While the system experienced ridership and
membership growth year over year, the program did not grow fast enough nor was the
fleet size large enough to reach the latent demand for bike sharing in Fort Collins. In 2018,
Zagster converted its model to Pace, and more than doubled the system size. At this time,
the City elected to significantly expand the coverage with new bike share stations provided
throughout the city. While this resulted in ridership growth, the expansion was not dense
RFP 10155 Shared Micromobility Page 6 of 52
enough to truly capitalize on Fort Collins bike sharing potential. In 2019, approximately
21,500 trips were taken using the Pace Bike Share system.
The Pace Bike Share Program was supported by several local sponsors, including the
City and CSU, along with New Belgium Brewery, Odell Brewery, UC Health, Housing
Catalyst, Dellenbach Subaru, Kaiser Permanente, Ed Carroll Motors, Associates in Family
Medicine and Elevations Credit Union. Sponsors typically provided annual sponsorships
to support the cost of individual stations.
In 2019, the City and CSU released a joint RFP soliciting a sole service provider to operate
a one-year e-scooter pilot program with the option to renew for up to four additional years.
Bird was the selected service provider and the pilot program launched on October 23,
2019. By the end of the program in April 2021, more than 47,000 trips were taken using
the e-scooter program despite the small initial fleet size, weather, technology constraints,
and the COVID-19 crisis, which required a temporary suspension of the program.
In 2021, the City and CSU released a joint RFP soliciting a sole service provider to operate
a one-year e-scooter/e-bike program with the option to renew for up to four additional
years. Spin was the selected service provider and the program launched on July 26, 2021.
With 900 e-scooters and e-bikes, Spin ridership exceeded the ridership of any previous
system by an order of magnitude, and almost 650,000 trips were taken over three years.
The number of discounted trips taken by people enrolled in the low-income discount
program has steadily increased. Spin’s launch in Greeley in 2024 has prompted
conversations among neighboring communities and communities along the Poudre River
Trail (over 20 miles of paved trail connecting Fort Collins and Greeley) about regional
coordination.
Since the launch of the original contract in 2021, the shared micromobility landscape has
evolved significantly. Community adoption has grown, and we are now in a position to
pursue a longer-term, stable partnership to ensure continued success and minimize
potential service disruptions moving forward.

EXHIBIT [CHOOSE ONE]
CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES to be provided by SERVICE PROVIDER under
this AGREEMENT, the parties agree to comply with reasonable policies and procedures with
regard to the exchange and handling of confidential information and other sensitive materials
between the parties, as set forth below.
1. Definitions.
For purposes of this AGREEMENT, the party who owns the referenced information and is
disclosing same shall be referenced as the “Disclosing Party.” The party receiving the
Disclosing Party’s information shall be referenced as the “Receiving Party.”
2. Confidential Information.
Confidential Information controlled by this AGREEMENT refers to information that is not public
and/or is proprietary, including but not limited to location information, network security system,
business plans, formulae, processes, intellectual property, trade secrets, designs,
photographs, plans, drawings, schematics, methods, specifications, samples, reports,
mechanical and electronic design drawings, customer lists, financial information, studies,
findings, inventions, ideas, CITY customer identifiable information (including account,
address, billing, consumption, contact, and other customer data), utility metering data, service
billing records, customer equipment information.
To the extent practical, Confidential Information shall be marked “Confidential” or
“Proprietary.” Nevertheless, SERVICE PROVIDER shall treat as Confidential Information all
customer identifiable information in any form, whether or not bearing a mark of confidentiality
or otherwise requested by the CITY, including but not limited to the non-exclusive list of
Confidential Information above. In the case of disclosure in non-documentary form of non-
customer identifiable information, made orally or by visual inspection, the Disclosing Party
shall have the right, or, if requested by the Receiving Party, the obligation to confirm in writing
the fact and general nature of each disclosure within a reasonable time after it is made in
order that it is treated as Confidential Information. Any information disclosed to the other party
before the execution of this AGREEMENT and related to the services for which SERVICE
PROVIDER has been engaged shall be considered in the same manner and be subject to the
same treatment as the information disclosed after the execution of this AGREEMENT with
regard to protecting it as Confidential Information.
3. Use of Confidential Information.
Receiving Party hereby agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information solely for the
purpose of performing its obligations under this AGREEMENT and not in any way detrimental
to Disclosing Party. Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care Receiving Party
uses with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information, which in any event shall
result in a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the
Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, Receiving Party shall keep
confidential and not disclose the Confidential Information. The CITY and SERVICE
PROVIDER shall cause each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives,
and subcontractors to become familiar with, and abide by, the terms of this Exhibit, which shall
survive this AGREEMENT as an on-going obligation of the Parties.
Services Agreement

Last updated 3/2025
SERVICE PROVIDER shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit
for itself, or any third party, other than in the performance of obligations under this
AGREEMENT.
4. Exclusions from Definition.
The term “Confidential Information” as used herein does not include any data or information
which is already known to the Receiving Party or which before being divulged by the
Disclosing Party: (a) was generally known to the public through no wrongful act of the
Receiving Party; (b) has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party
without restriction on disclosure and without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, a
breach of an obligation of confidentiality; (c) has been approved for release by a written
authorization by the other party hereto; or (d) has been disclosed pursuant to a requirement
of a governmental agency or by operation of law, subject to Paragraph 5 below.
5. Required Disclosure.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 4(d) above, if the Receiving Party receives a request (by
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand
or similar process, or by federal, state, or local law, including without limitation, the Colorado
Open Records Act) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Parties agree the Receiving
Party will provide the Disclosing Party with immediate notice of such request, so the Disclosing
Party may seek an appropriate protective order before disclosure or waive the Receiving
Party’s compliance with this Exhibit.
The Receiving Party shall furnish a copy of this Exhibit with any disclosure.
Notwithstanding this Paragraph 5, Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information
to any person, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, except as required by law or
authorized in writing by Disclosing Party.
6. Red Flags Rules.
If applicable, SERVICE PROVIDER must implement reasonable policies and procedures to
detect, prevent and mitigate the risk of identity theft in compliance with the Identity Theft Red
Flags Rules found at 16 Code of Federal Regulations part 681. Further, SERVICE
PROVIDER must take appropriate steps to mitigate identity theft if it occurs with any of the
CITY’s covered information and must notify the CITY in writing within twenty-four (24) hours
of discovery of any breaches of security or Red Flags to the CITY.
7. Data Protection and Data Security.
SERVICE PROVIDER shall have in place information security safeguards designed to
conform to or exceed industry best practices regarding the protection of the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of Confidential Information and shall have written agreements
requiring any subcontractor to meet those standards. These information security safeguards
(the “Information Security Program”) shall be materially consistent with, or more stringent than,
the safeguards described in this Exhibit.
(a) SERVICE PROVIDER’s information security safeguards shall address the following
elements:
• Data Storage, Backups and Disposal
• Logical Access Control (e.g., Role-Based)
Services Agreement

• Information Classification and Handling
• Secure Data Transfer (SFTP and Data Transfer Specification)
• Secure Web Communications
• Network and Security Monitoring
• Application Development Security
• Application Security Controls and Procedures (User Authentication, Security
Controls, and Security Procedures, Policies and Logging)
• Incident Response
• Vulnerability Assessments
• Hosted Services
• Personnel Security
(b) Subcontractors. SERVICE PROVIDER may use subcontractors, though such activity shall
not release or absolve SERVICE PROVIDER from the obligation to satisfy all conditions
of this AGREEMENT, including the data security measures described in this Exhibit, and
to require a substantially similar level of data security, appropriate to the types of services
provided and Confidential Information received, for any subcontractor SERVICE
PROVIDER may use. Accordingly, any release of data, confidential information, or failure
to protect information under this AGREEMENT by a subcontractor or affiliated party shall
be attributed to SERVICE PROVIDER and may be considered to be a material breach of
this AGREEMENT.
8. Information Storage. Confidential Information is not to be stored on any local workstation,
laptop, or media such as CD/DVD, USB drives, external hard drives or other similar portable
devices unless the SERVICE PROVIDER can ensure security for the Confidential Information
so stored. Workstations or laptops to be used in the Services will be required to have personal
firewalls on each, as well as have current, active anti-virus definitions.
9. Continuing Obligation. The agreement not to disclose Confidential Information as set forth in
this Exhibit shall apply during the term of the Services and or AGREEMENT and at any time
thereafter unless specifically authorized by the CITY in writing.
10. Termination Remedy. If SERVICE PROVIDER breaches any of the terms of this Exhibit, in
the CITY’s sole discretion, the CITY may immediately terminate this AGREEMENT and
withdraw SERVICE PROVIDER’s right to access Confidential Information.
11. Return of Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this AGREEMENT to provide
Project Instruments and work product, all material, i.e., various physical forms of media in
which Confidential Information is stored, including but not limited to writings, drawings, tapes,
diskettes, prototypes or products, shall remain the sole property of the Disclosing Party and,
upon request, shall be promptly returned, together with all copies thereof to the Disclosing
Party. Upon return of such materials, all digital and electronic data shall also be deleted in a
non-restorable way by which it is no longer available to the Receiving Party. Upon Disclosing
Party’s request, written verification of the deletion (including date of deletion) is to be provided
to the Disclosing Party within ten (10) days after completion of engagement, whether it be via
termination, completion or otherwise.

12. Injunctive Relief. SERVICE PROVIDER Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing
Party may, based upon the representations made in this AGREEMENT, disclose security
information that is critical to the continued success of the Discloser’s business. Accordingly,
Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party does not have an adequate remedy at law
for breach of this AGREEMENT and therefore, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, as a non-
exclusive remedy, and in addition to an action for damages, to seek and obtain an injunction
or decree of specific performance or any other remedy, from a court of competent jurisdiction
to enjoin or remedy any violation of this AGREEMENT.

VI. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1) Independent Contractor. Contractor, and all persons employed or engaged by Contractor to
perform under the attached Scope of Work, shall perform as an independent contractor and
not an employee or agent of the University. The means and methods of performance are to
be determined by the Contractor in order to achieve the results required under the Scope of
Work. Contractor shall perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the highest
standards of care, skill and diligence in Contractor’s industry, trade, or profession and in the
sequence and manner set forth in this Contract. Contractor and its employees and agents
are not entitled to unemployment insurance or workers compensation benefits through the
University and the University shall not pay for or otherwise provide such coverage for
Contractor or any of its agents or employees. Unemployment insurance benefits shall be
available to Contractor and its employees and agents only if such coverage is made
available by Contractor or a third party. Contractor shall pay when due all applicable
employment taxes and income taxes and local head taxes incurred pursuant to this
Contract. Contractor shall not have authorization, express or implied, to bind the University
to any contract, liability or understanding, except as expressly set forth herein. Contractor
shall (a) provide and keep in force workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation
insurance in the amounts required by law, (b) provide proof thereof when requested by the
University, and (c) be solely responsible for its acts and those of its employees and agents.
2) Inspection/Monitoring. The University reserves the right to inspect Contractor’s performance
at all reasonable times and places during the Term of this Contract, including any
extensions or renewals. If Contractor’s performance fails to conform to the requirements of
this Contract, the University may require Contractor promptly to come into conformance at
Contractor’s sole expense. If Contractor’s performance cannot be brought into conformance
by such corrective measures, the University may exercise any or all of the remedies
available under this Contract, at law or in equity. Contractor shall permit the University, the
federal government, and governmental agencies having jurisdiction, in their sole discretion,
to monitor all activities conducted by Contractor pursuant to the terms of this Contract using
any reasonable procedure.
3) Late Payments/Interest. Per C.R.S. § 24-30-202(24), the University shall pay each invoice
within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, for the work performed by Contractor and accepted
by the University. If the University contests any amount invoiced, it shall pay the
uncontested amount and provide a written statement of the reason(s) for withholding the
remaining amount together with such partial payment. Uncontested amounts not paid by the
University within forty-five (45) days after due date shall bear interest on the unpaid balance
beginning on the forty-sixth (46th) day at a rate not to exceed one percent (1.0%) per month
until paid in full; provided, however, that interest shall not accrue on unpaid amounts that are
subject to a good faith dispute. Contractor shall invoice the University separately for accrued
interest on delinquent amounts. The billing shall reference the delinquent payment, the
number of days’ interest to be paid, and the interest rate.
4) Fund Availability. Financial obligations of the University payable after the current fiscal year
are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise
made available. If federal funds are used to fund this Contract, in whole or in part, the
University’s performance hereunder is contingent upon the continuing availability of such
federal funds and Exhibit C attached hereto is incorporated herein by this reference. If such
funds are not appropriated, or otherwise become unavailable, the University may terminate

Official Purchasing Document
Last updated 3/2025
this Contract immediately, in whole or in part, without further liability in accordance with the
provisions hereof and shall remit payment to the Contractor for its performance prior to
termination. If the amount due cannot readily be determined from this Contract, then the
amount shall be calculated on a pro rata basis according to the percentage of the entire
Scope of the Work that was completed and accepted by University.
5) Contractor Records. Contractor shall make, keep and maintain a complete file of all records,
communications and documents pertaining in any manner to its performance hereunder.
Contractor shall maintain such records for a period of at least three (3) years until the last to
occur of: (i) the date this Contract expires or is sooner terminated, (ii) final payment is made
hereunder, (iii) the resolution of any pending Contract matters, or (iv) if an audit is occurring,
or Contractor has received notice that an audit is pending, until such audit has been
completed and its findings have been resolved (collectively, the “Record Retention Period”).
Contractor shall permit the University and, if federal funds are used in the payment of this
Contract, the federal government, and any duly authorized agent of either, to audit and
inspect Contractor’s records during the Record Retention Period to assure compliance with
the terms hereof or to evaluate performance hereunder.
6) Confidential Information. Confidential Information as used in this Contract, shall include any
and all documents, materials, data or information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing
Party”) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) that (i) is clearly identified as Confidential
Information at the time of disclosure, or (ii) the Recipient knows to be Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information shall not include any
information which at the time of disclosure is in the public domain, or which after disclosure
is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain in any manner other than by
violation of this Contract; or was in the possession of the Recipient at the time of disclosure.
Confidential Information shall not include information required to be disclosed pursuant to
the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. §§ 24-72-200.1, et seq. (“CORA”). The Parties
shall keep all Confidential Information secret at all times and comply with all laws and
regulations concerning confidentiality of such information. Any request or demand by a third
party for Confidential Information shall be immediately forwarded to the Disclosing Party’s
designated representative. If disclosure of the Confidential Information is required pursuant
to CORA or to any lawful subpoena, court order, or other legal process, it shall be the sole
responsibility of the Disclosing Party to initiate and prosecute a legal action to prevent, limit
or prohibit the disclosure, at its own expense. The Recipient shall reasonably cooperate with
the Disclosing Party with respect to any such legal action but shall always have the right to
proceed as it believes, in its sole discretion and judgment, to be required in accordance with
the law.
7) Licenses, Permits and Other Authorizations. Contractor represents and warrants that, as of
the Effective Date, the Contractor shall, and that at all times during the Term and any
Renewal Terms or extensions hereof, maintain at its sole expense, all licenses,
certifications, approvals, insurance, permits, and other authorizations required by law to
perform its obligations hereunder. Contractor, if a foreign corporation or other foreign entity
transacting business in the State of Colorado, further warrants that it currently has obtained
and shall maintain a business registration with the Colorado Secretary of State and
designated a registered agent in Colorado to accept service of process. Any revocation,
withdrawal or non-renewal of licenses, certifications, approvals, insurance, permits or any
such similar requirements necessary for Contractor to properly perform the terms of this
Contract is a material breach by Contractor and constitutes grounds for termination of this
Contract.

satisfactory to the University showing compliance with this provision.
Notwithstanding this subsection, if the Contractor is a “public entity” within the
meaning of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. §§ 24-10-101, et
seq., as amended (“CGIA”), the Contractor shall at all times during the Term of
this Contract maintain such liability insurance, by commercial policy or self-
insurance, as is necessary to meet its liabilities under the CGIA. Upon request by

the University.
C. The Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System acting by and
through Colorado State University, a division of the State of Colorado, shall be

H. Self-insurance programs do not meet the University’s insurance requirements
unless the Contractor provides satisfactory evidence of a loss reserve fund of not
less than the minimum coverage amount specified herein, plus excess liability
coverage as appropriate to the industry, financial statements of the business, and
proof of Department of Labor certification of self-insurance program for worker’s
compensation. This paragraph shall not apply to political subdivisions or
agencies in the State of Colorado with a self-insurance program.
10) Default. The failure of either Party to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in
whole or in part or in a timely or satisfactory manner constitutes an event of default. The
institution of proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law, by
or against Contractor, or the appointment of a receiver or similar officer for Contractor or any
of its property, which is not vacated or fully stayed within twenty (20) days after the
institution or occurrence thereof, shall also constitute an event of default. In the event of a
default, notice shall be given in writing by the non-defaulting Party to the defaulting Party. If
such default is not cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice, or if a cure cannot
reasonably be expected to be completed within thirty (30) days, or if cure has not begun
within thirty (30) days and pursued with due diligence, then the defaulting Party shall be in
breach of this Contract, and the non-defaulting Party may terminate the Contract pursuant to
any of the remedies contained herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
University, in its sole discretion, need not provide advance notice or a cure period and may
immediately terminate this Contract in whole or in part if reasonably necessary to preserve
public safety or to prevent immediate and/or irreparable harm.
11) Remedies for Default – Termination.
A. In the event of default, either Party may terminate this Contract in its entirety upon
written notice. The University may terminate this Contract in whole or in part.
Exercise by the University of this right shall not be a breach of its obligations
hereunder. Contractor shall continue performance of this Contract to the extent not
terminated, if any and may incur obligations as are necessary to do so within this
Contract’s terms. To the extent specified in any termination notice, Contractor shall
not incur further obligations or render further performance hereunder past the
effective date of such notice and shall terminate outstanding orders and
subcontracts with third parties. Upon termination, Contractor shall take timely,
reasonable and necessary action to protect and preserve property in the possession
of Contractor in which the University has an interest. All materials owned by the
University in the possession of Contractor shall be immediately returned to the
University. Any completed deliverables, at the option of the University, shall be
delivered by Contractor to the University and shall become the University’s property.
The University shall remunerate Contractor only for accepted performance up to the
date of termination.
B. Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the University, Contractor shall remain
liable to the University for any damages sustained by the University by virtue of any
default under this Contract by Contractor and the University may withhold any
payment to Contractor for the purpose of mitigating the University’s damages, until

exercise one or more of the following remedies in addition to other remedies available to it:
