WOSA 4/2001
3) Training and application deployment.
Given the iterative nature of the development process, these primary tasks will
overlap and encourage feedback to ensure the final products are the result of a
greater Professional/SmartTrips collaboration.
TASK 1 - SCOPING AND PROJECT KICK-OFF
Professional will kick-off the project with a two-day workshop that will include a
traditional scoping component where their technical and PM teams will work with
SmartTrips staff to develop a detailed work plan consisting of identified needs and
desired outcomes. Given the RFP contained a rather detailed and thorough needs
assessment, Professional will plan to use a majority of this time engaged in a work
session where they present usable examples and demonstrations of their approach
(as documented below) and begin soliciting feedback from SmartTrips staff based
on these functional examples. This portion of the workshop will use collective time
more efficiently and ensure we kick-off the project "running."
TASK 2 - DATA COLLECTION AND DATABASE DEVELOPMENT
Database Conversion and Web Interface Development
Based on desired outcomes for the carpool matching application specified in the
RFP, development team will begin programming an application that meets these
needs keeping in mind the need for the application to be intuitive, easy to navigate,
dynamic and flexible. The application will be developed in incremental, but discreet
stages so that application review by SmartTrips staff can be occur over the course
of the development phase. The application will be developed on a production
server accessible to the PM team and SmartTrips staff. Weekly progress reports
will be made to the PM team, which in turn will summarize, present and
demonstrate progress at the weekly check -in meetings. Professional's workflow
process will ensure that project development is iterative, reflects ongoing (and
possibly newly identified) application needs and results in a final product that
presents no surprises at the end of the development cycle.
Existing carpool data will be imported from the RidePro database into a Microsoft
SQL Server database. The new database platform will provide a standardized,
expandable, reliable, and secure foundation for storing an ever growing and
expanded set of carpooling information. This platform will also be designed to
support the use of web -based GIS technologies, including geocoding capabilities.
Prospective carpoolers will enter information (and SmartTrips staff will administer
that information) via an intuitive, user friendly web -based front end. Carpoolers
will create user accounts using a web -based form. This form will be used to
collect initial information on the rider/driver and then will prompt them through a
user account creation process. Once an account is created, the rider/driver will be
4
asked to enter additional information about the type of car they drive, origin and
destination data, shift times, days they will be available to carpool, notification and
privacy -related preferences, and other pertinent information. Users can revisit the
site, update their accounts as their needs or circumstances change. Changes to
accounts are live and instantaneous.
Once the rider/driver information is entered, the website will generate a possible list
of carpoolers and a map showing other potential carpoolers, based on location.
This list will display information that has been entered by other rider/drivers. Some
information may not be displayed, depending on a user's privacy preferences. For
example, some rider/drivers may choose not to disclose their phone number,
instead providing only an email address. The website will give a rider/driver the
ability to request that an email be sent to them with the map and list of potential
carpoolers as well.
Finally, the website will also provide for instantaneous customer follow-up through
an email/web survey. This survey will meet the CDOT standards solicited in the
Request for Proposal or include questions suggested by SmartTrips staff. To the
extent possible, the surveys can be managed and updated using administrative
functions built into the application. In addition, a follow-up survey will be
submitted to the carpoolers so that information can be verified and to determine if
they are still using the carpool service.
GIS Data Collection and System Development
Professional will use ArcIMS (ESRI) web mapping technology as a basis to match
carpooling candidates by origin and destination locations. This platform will
provide the ability to create dynamic, accessible maps and interactive tools for
information viewing, query and exchange.
Professional will acquire and load geographic data layers for use with the spatial
component of the database. To create dynamic maps using ArcIMS software, GIS
data in the form of shapefiles is required. To successfully implement the proposed
solution, a street center line layer is required for each city/county in the project
area. Professional proposes that a commercial product be used to reduce
inefficiencies inherent in coordinating with various county GIS departments and
making the data layers consistent over the project area.
Additional reference data layers (including municipal and county boundaries, etc.)
will be obtained from standard, public domain sources such as the Colorado
Departments of Local Affairs and Transportation to reduce cost and ensure
consistency with other regional datasets.
Using javascript, ASP, and HTML, Professional will customize the ArcIMS
environment to create a series of user-friendly, interactive tools that will aid a
potential carpooler in finding existing carpoolers with similar geographic profiles.
5
Upon logging in to the carpool application using the username and password
emailed to them during the registration process, the rider/driver will be prompted
for information to define their profile (i.e., origin and destination locations and time
of travel).
The application will present a list of potential meeting places that are within the
rider/driver's acceptable travel distance. Once this information has been supplied,
the rider/driver will be presented with a map of the project area and the x and y
locations of existing carpool registrants. During the map loading process, a custom
function will geocode the origin and destination provided by the rider/driver. If the
addresses provided are successfully geocoded, points will be displayed on the map
indicating the location of the origin and destination. In the event that an address
cannot be located, a tool will be provided to manually create origin and destination
points on the map. Upon successful location of the origin and destination
locations, the x and y location of the origin will be captured and written to the
database.
This information will be used to create locations for potential carpool matches of
future carpool registrants. A straight line will then be created between the origin
and destination points and will be used as a basis to create a buffer at a distance
representing the acceptable distance the rider/driver will travel to a meeting
location. This system will allow riders to search for other carpoolers, display
information on potential meeting places (which may not be a carpoolers home, but
rather a public meeting place such as a coffee shop, etc.), provide users with a
map of the routes, and account for differing shift times.
The created buffer will be used to select origin points of existing carpoolers whose
geographic profile is similar to the current rider/driver's. The selected candidate's
information will be displayed in a form with an option for the rider/driver to email
the list of potential candidates and a map of the locations to themselves.
The integrated web -based carpool matching application will be accessed through
the www.smarttrips.org website, but the application will be hosted on
Professional's web server infrastructure. The look and feel of the application will
match the SmartTrips website so that it will be a seamless transition from one
website to another. Extensive reporting capability as well as the ability to produce
mailing lists and labels will be available to administrative users regardless of
physical location or computing platform.
TASK 3 - TRAINING AND DEPLOYMENT
Professional will provide training for the SmartTrips staff on how to use the
application and how to perform administrative functions, including database
management, reporting or producing mailing labels. The application would be
developed in a testing environment where SmartTrips staff will have continual
E
access to the monitor application as it is being developed. After thorough final
testing of the integrated application has been conducted, the application will be
migrated onto hosting server where the system would become live for users.
SmartTrips staff will be provided an illustrated administrator's user guide as well as
two half days of on -site training over a period of three days. This approach allows
for an intensive hands-on training during the first half -day session and some time
for SmartTrips staff to use the site and explore the administrative capabilities
before continuing the training The second half -day session would be an interactive
question / answer session driven by staff needs. An online user's guide and FAQ
would accompany the site.
It is Professional's belief that their proposed development approach will reduce the
need for an extensive post -development training as the SmartTrips staff will be
consistently involved in the development of the application throughout the project.
As part of Professional's proposed maintenance package, SmartTrips staff would
have access to their PMs and developers should questions arise regarding the use
of the carpool matching application over a 5-year time period. All hardware and
software upgrades, licensing fees, and maintenance would occur on Professional's
servers and would therefore also be covered under this plan. SmartTrips staff
would only be responsible for administrative functions including reporting and the
maintenance of database records. Commercial GIS data layers (e.g., centerlines
will be updated on an annual basis.

29 C.F.R. 5 (1995)
29 C.F.R. 1926 (1995)
Pursuant to Section 102 (Overtime):
(1) Overtime requirements - No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the
contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require
or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such
work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives
compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours
worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages - In the event of anyviolation of the
clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section the contractor and any subcontractor responsible
therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such contractor and subcontractor shall
be liable to the United States for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed
with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in
violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (1) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar
day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek
of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph
(1) of this section.
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages - The MPO shall upon its own action
or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or
cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or
subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other federally -assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be
necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and
liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (2) of this section.
(4) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses
set forth in this section and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in
any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in this section.
(5) Payrolls and basic records - (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be
maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three
years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or under the United
States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the construction or development
of the project). Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each
such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of
contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the
types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours
worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found
under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any
costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1
(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall maintain records which show that the
commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in
providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices ortrainees underapproved programs
shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of
trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs.
Section 107 (OSHA):
Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
(i) The Contractor agrees to comply with section 107 of the Contract t Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act, 40 U.S.C. section 333, and applicable DOL regulations, " Safety and Health
Regulations for Construction " 29 C.F.R. Part 1926. Among other things, the Contractor agrees
that it will not require any laborer or mechanic to work in unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous
surroundings or working conditions.
(ii) Subcontracts - The Contractor also agrees to include the requirements of this section in each
subcontract. The term "subcontract' under this section is considered to refer to a person who
agrees to perform any part of the labor or material requirements of a contract for construction,
alteration or repair. A person who undertakes to perform a portion of a contract involving the
furnishing of supplies or materials will be considered a "subcontractor" underthis section if the work
in question involves the performance of construction work and is to be performed: (1) directly on or
near the construction site, or (2) by the employer for the specific project on a customized basis.
Thus, a supplier of materials which will become an integral part of the construction is a
"subcontractor if the supplier fabricates or assembles the goods or materials in question
specifically for the construction project and the work involved may be said to be construction
activity. If the goods or materials in question are ordinarily sold to other customers from regular
inventory, the supplier is not a "subcontractor." The requirements of this section do not apply to
contracts or subcontracts for the purchase of supplies or materials or articles normally available on
the open market.
If it is later determined by the MPO that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing,
such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the
Contractor, the MPO, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the
Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
C. Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The MPO in its sole discretion may, in the case
of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in
which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which
cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions.
4
If Contractor fails to remedy to the MPO' satisfaction the breach or default or any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (1 0) days] after receipt by Contractor or written
notice from the MPO setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the MPO shall have the right
to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor Any such termination for
default shall not in any way operate to preclude the MPO from also pursuing all available remedies
against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that the MPO elects to waive its remedies for
any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by the
MPO shall not limit the MPO' remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term,
covenant, or condition of this Contract.
Termination for Default (Supplies and Service) If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies or to
perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension or if the Contractor
fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the MPO may terminate this contract for
default. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying
the nature of the default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered
and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set forth in
this contract.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was
not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had
been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
f. Termination for Default (Transportation Services) If the Contractor fails to pick up the
commodities or to perform the services, including delivery services, within the time specified in this
contract or any extension or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this
contract, the MPO may terminate this contract for default. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to
the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of default. The Contractor will only be
paid the contract price for services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set
forth in this contract.
If this contract is terminated while the Contractor has possession of Recipient goods, the
Contractor shall, upon direction of the MPO, protect and preserve the goods until surrendered to
the Recipient or its agent. The Contractor and the MPO shall agree on payment for the
preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the
Dispute clause.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was
not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had
been issued for the convenience of the MPO.
g. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the
work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within the time specified
in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor
fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the MPO may terminate this contract for
default. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to the Contractora Notice of Termination specifying
the nature of the default. In this event, the Recipient may take over the work and compete it by
contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on
the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for
any damage to the Recipient resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work
b. The MPO may, at any time during the term of a particular Work Order and without
invalidating the Agreement, make changes within the general scope of the particular services
assigned and the Service Provider agrees to perform such changed services.
2. Changes in the Work. The MPO reserves the right to independently bid any services
rather than issuing work to the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing within this
Agreement shall obligate the MPO to have any particular service performed by the Service Provider.
3. The Work Schedule. The services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall
be performed in accordance with the Work Schedule stated on each Work Order.
4. Time of Commencement and Completion of Services. The services to be performed
pursuant to this Agreement shall be initiated as specified on each Work Order. Time is of the
essence. Any extensions of any time limit must be agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto.
5. Contract Period. This Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution shown
on the signature page of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect for one (1) year,
unless sooner terminated as herein provided. In addition, at the option of the MPO, the Agreement
may be extended for additional one year periods not to exceed four (4) additional one year periods.
Pricing changes shall be negotiated by and agreed to by both parties and may not exceed the
Denver - Boulder CPI-U as published by the Colorado State Planning and Budget Office. Written
notice of renewal shall be provided to the Service Provider and mailed no laterthan ninety (90) days
prior to contract end.
6. Early Termination by MPO. Notwithstanding the time periods contained herein, the
MPO may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause by providing written notice of
termination to the Professional. Such notice shall be delivered at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
termination date contained in said notice unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
All notices provided under this Agreement shall be effective when mailed, postage prepaid and sent
to the following addresses:
WOSA 4/2001
within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated.
This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Recipient in completing the work.
The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor changed with damages
under this clause if-
1. the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God,
acts of the Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the
Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and
2. the contractor, within [1 0] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the MPO in writing of
the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the MPO, the delay is excusable, the time for completing
the work shall be extended. The judgment of the MPO shall be final and conclusive on the parties,
but subject to appeal under the Disputes clauses.
If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not
in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same
as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
h. Termination for Convenience or Default (Architect and Engineering) The MPO may
terminate this contract in whole or in part, for the Recipient's convenience or because of the failure
of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to the
Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature, extent, and effective date of the
termination. Upon receipt of the notice, the Contractor shall
(1) immediately discontinue all services affected (unless -the notice directs otherwise), and
deliver to the Contracting Officer all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries,
and other information and materials accumulated in performing this contract, whether completed or
in process.
If the termination is for the convenience of the Recipient, the Contracting Officer shall make an
equitable adjustment in the contract price but shall allow no anticipated profit on unperformed
services. If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the
Recipient may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any
additional cost incurred by the Recipient.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was
not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had
been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost -Type Contracts) The MPO may terminate this
contract, or any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the Contractor. The notice shall
state whether the termination is for convenience of the MPO or for the default of the Contractor. If
the termination is for default, the notice shall state the manner in which the contractor has failed to
perform the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall account for any property in its
possession paid for from funds received from the MPO, or property supplied to the Contractor by
the MPO. If the termination is for default, the MPO may fix the fee, if the contract provides for a
fee, to be paid the contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up to the time of
termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the MPO and the parties
shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid the Contractor.
1.1
If the termination is for the convenience of the MPO, the Contractor shall be paid its contract close-
out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for payment of a fee, in proportion to the work
performed up to the time of termination.
If, after serving a notice of termination for default, the MPO determines that the Contractor has an
excusable reason for not performing, such as strike, fire, flood, events which are not the fault of
and are beyond the control of the contractor, the MPO, after setting up a new work schedule, may
allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.

performance set forth in the contract.
If it is later determined by the MPO that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not
performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the
control of the Contractor, the MPO, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may
allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
C. Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The MPO in its sole discretion may, in the case
of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in
which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which
cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions.
If Contractor fails to remedy to the MPO' satisfaction the breach or default or any of the
terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (1 0) days] after receipt by Contractor or
written notice from the MPO setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the MPO shall have
the right to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such
termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude the MPO from also pursuing all
available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that the MPO elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such
waiver by the MPO shall not limit the MPO' remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any
other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract.
e. Termination for Default (Supplies and Service) If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies
or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension or if the
Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the MPO may terminate this
contract for default. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of

Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the
termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
f. Termination for Default (Transportation Services) If the Contractor fails to pick up the
commodities or to perform the services, including delivery services, within the time specified in this
contract or any extension or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this

the Recipient or its agent. The Contractor and the MPO shall agree on payment for the
preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the
Dispute clause.

Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the
termination had been issued for the convenience of the MPO.

g. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the
work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within the time specified
in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor
fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the MPO may terminate this contract for
default. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying
the nature of the default. In this event, the Recipient may take over the work and compete it by
contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on
the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for
any damage to the Recipient resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work
within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated.
This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Recipient in completing the work.
The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor changed with
damages Under this clause if-
1. the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God,
acts of the Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the
Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and
2. the contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the MPO in writing of the
causes of delay. If in the judgment of the MPO, the delay is excusable, the time for completing the
work shall be extended. The judgment of the MPO shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but
subject to appeal under the Disputes clauses.
If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor
was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be
the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
h. Termination for Convenience or Default (Architect and Engineering) The MPO may
terminate this contract in whole or in part, for the Recipient's convenience or because of the failure
of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations. The MPO shall terminate by delivering to the
Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature, extent, and effective date of the
termination. Upon receipt of the notice, the Contractor shall

unperformed services.
If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the
Recipient may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any
additional cost incurred by the Recipient.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the
Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the
10
termination had been issued for the convenience of the Recipient.
I. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost -Type Contracts) The MPO may
terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the Contractor.
The notice shall state whether the termination is for convenience of the MPO or for the default of
the Contractor. If the termination is for default, the notice shall state the manner in which the
contractor has failed to perform the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall account for
any property in its possession paid for from funds received from the MPO, or property supplied to
the Contractor by the MPO. If the termination is for default, the MPO may fix the fee, if the contract
provides for a fee, to be paid the contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up
to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the MPO
and the parties shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid the Contractor.
If the termination is for the convenience of the MPO, the Contractor shall be paid
its Contract close-out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for payment of a fee, in proportion to
the Work performed up to the time of termination.

PATENT AND RIGHTS IN DATA
37 CFR Part 401
49 CFR Parts 18 and 19
The FTA patent clause is substantially similar to the text of 49 C.F.R. Part 19, Appendix A, Section
5, but the rights in data clause reflects FTA objectives. For patent rights, FT/k is governed by
Federal law and regulation. For data rights, the text on copyrights is insufficient to meet FTA's
purposes for awarding research grants. This model clause, with larger rights ,as a standard, is
proposed with the understanding that this standard could be modified to FTA's needs.
CONTRACTS INVOLVING EXPERIMENTAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR RESEARCH WORK.
A. Rights in Data -This following requirements apply to each contract involving experimental,
developmental or research work:
(1) The term "subject data" used in this clause means recorded information, whether or not
copyrighted, that is delivered or specified to be delivered under the contract. The term includes
graphic or pictorial delineation in media such as drawings or photographs; text in specifications or
related performance or design -type documents; machine forms such as punched cards, magnetic
tape, or computer memory printouts; and information retained in computer memory. Examples
include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists,
specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications,
and related information. The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses,
and similar information incidental to contract administration.
(2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of the
contract to which this Attachment has been added:
(a) Except for its own internal use, the Purchaser or Contractor may not publish or reproduce
subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Purchaser or Contractor
authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the Federal Government, until such time as
the Federal Government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the
public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic
institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. 19.36, the Federal Government
reserves a royalty -free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise
use, and to authorize others to use, for "Federal Government purposes," any subject data or
copyright described in subsections (2)(b)I and (2)(b)2 of this clause below. As used in the previous
sentence, "for Federal Government purposes," means use only for the direct purposes of the
Federal Government. Without the copyright owner's consent, the Federal Government may not
extend its Federal license to any other party.
1. Any subject data developed under that contract, whether or not a copyright has been
obtained; and
2. Any rights of copyright purchased by the Purchaser or Contractor using Federal assistance
in whole or in part provided by FTA.
(c) When FTA awards Federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research work, it
14
w
is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the public, rather than
to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that work. Therefore, unless FTA
determines otherwise, the Purchaser and the Contractor performing experimental, developmental,
or research work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment is added agrees to
permit FTA to make available to the public, either FTA's license in the copyright to any subject data
developed in the course of that contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the
contract for which a copyright has not been obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or
research work, which is the subject of the underlying contract, is not completed for any reason
whatsoever, all data developed under that contract shall become subject data as defined in
subsection (a) of this clause and shall be delivered as the Federal Government may direct. This
subsection (c), however, does not apply to adaptations of automatic data processing equipment or
programs for the Purchaser or Contractor's use whose costs are financed in whole or in part with
Federal assistance provided by FTA for transportation capital projects.
(d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the Federal Government, the Purchaser
and the Contractor agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Federal Government, its
officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official duties against any liability,
including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or intentional violation by the Purchaser or
Contractor of proprietary rights, copyrights, or right of privacy, arising out of the publication,
translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data furnished under that contract.
Neither the Purchaser nor the Contractor shall be required to indemnify the Federal Govemmentfor
any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the Federal
Government.
(e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the Federal
Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right
otherwise granted to the Federal Government under any patent.
(f) Data developed by the Purchaser or Contractor and financed entirely without using Federal
assistance provided by the Federal Government that has been incorporated into work required by
the underlying contract to which this Attachment has been added is exempt from the requirements
of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, provided that the Purchaser or Contractor identifies
that data in writing at the time of delivery of the contract work.
(g) Unless FTA determines otherwise, the Contractor agrees to include these requirements in
each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part
with Federal assistance provided by FTA.
(3) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing, irrespective
of the Contractor's status i.e., a large business, small business, state government or state
instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher education, individual,
etc.), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the necessary actions to provide, through
FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of
Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business
Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R. Part 401.
(4) The Contractor also agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for
experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance
provided by FTA.
B. Patent Rights - The following requirements apply to each contract involving experimental,
developmental, or research work:

Project Approach
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND OVERVIEW
During the contract term, Professional will assist the SmartTrips program in
creating a state-of-the-art, sustainable, responsive and user friendly, web -based
carpool matching application that is accessible by any computer with an Internet
connection.
Professional's approach includes conversion of the current RidePro database to a
web -based database that is scalable, robust and built upon standards to ensure
future compatibility and expansion opportunities. Professional will develop a user-
friendly, intuitive and Internet accessible carpooling application that can be
administered by SmartTrips staff regardless of physical location. Carpooler home
and destination locations will be geocoded and resulting maps will show potential
carpooling scenarios based on a user's preferences and needs. The end result will
be a tool to encourage and facilitate a meaningful reduction in Northern Front
Range single passenger vehicle trips.
Described below is Professional's customized application that they will deliver to
the MPO. Professional's project team will embrace the "spiral development"
approach whereby components of the application are posted for review by
SmartTrips staff on our production server as they are made ready. Thus, testing
and refinement of application components will occur throughout the development
process.
Professional's goal is to work as a member of this team, facilitating the needs of
the SmartTrips program and the communities it serves.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Given the aggressive time schedule associated with this project, efficient and
effective project management (PM) is of utmost importance.
Professional's PM team consists of two persons, each having slightly different
responsibilities. John Armstrong will manage the overall project, to ensure
deadlines are met and the final products are delivered on time. Based in Fort
Collins, he also will be the primary contact with the SmartTrips staff. Renee
Walmsley will manage application development and ensure that the development
track stays on schedule and within budget. Ms. Walmsley will also be a functional
part of the development team. The PM team will facilitate communication between
the application development team and SmartTrips staff to ensure that technical
aspects of the project are communicated effectively and in language appropriate
for the respective audience.

implementation.
TECHNICAL PROCESS
As the PM team is locally based,
Professional plans to make Mr. Armstrong
accessible in person on a weekly "check -in"
basis to ensure that communication between
SmartTrips and Walsh team is clear
throughout the course of the project. This
project check -in might consist of a briefing
as to the project's progress and the fielding
of ongoing questions. Professional believes
this face-to-face process will greatly aid to
the iterative nature of their spiral
development approach and help ensure that
the final application fully meets the needs
and exceeds the expectations of SmartTrips
staff and the public.
Project management will be aided by the use
of Microsoft Project and other software tools
to provide the PM team with readily
accessible information on task progress and
associated costs. Project updates will be
provided to SmartTrips PMs on a weekly
basis.
The PM team will be primarily responsible for
training and support of the final carpool
matching application. Training will occur on
site in a "real world," hands-on scenario to
ensure that SmartTrips staff can confidently
support public use of the application.
Should SmartTrips staff have questions, this
same team will respond to those questions.
The PM staff is highly experienced in IT/GIS
application development and use in their
own right; therefore, they will be effective
facilitators during the course of the project
and efficiently support it after
Professional has organized their approach into three (3) primary tasks:
1) Scoping and project kick-off;
2) Data collection and database development; and
