TVMs at the South Transit Center. All TVM models are S&B FAA 2000 TS Fare Vending. Cash
receipt totals from the TVMs are unknown at this point as revenue operations along the MAX
BRT Guide-way will not commence until mid-August, 2014.
Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, lists each location, the number of TVMs per
site and when the service is expected to come online. The selected Contractor and all its
representatives are required to conform to the scope of services contained in this Request for
Proposal as part of the contract.
This project involves Federal Transit Administrative (FTA) funding and the successful firm and

informed that the City has established policies and procedures with regard to the handling of
confidential information and other sensitive materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and

the Government's best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract
close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination. The

not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or, if the contract is

in the contract.
If it is later determined by the (Recipient) 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 (Recipient), 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient)'s satisfaction the breach or default of any of the
terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (10) days] after receipt by
Contractor of written notice from (Recipient) setting forth the nature of said breach or
default, (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract,
such waiver by (Recipient) shall not limit (Recipient)'s remedies for any succeeding
breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract.
E. Termination for Convenience (Professional or Transit Service Contracts) The
7656 Max Ticket Vending Machines – Collection Services Page 32 of 40
(Recipient), by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in

the effective date of termination.
F. 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
(Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient) 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.

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.
G. 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

surrendered to the Recipient or its agent. The Contractor and (Recipient) 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 (Recipient).
H. 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
(Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient) 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 charged with
damages under this clause if-
7656 Max Ticket Vending Machines – Collection Services Page 33 of 40

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
(Recipient) in writing of the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the (Recipient), the
delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment
of the (Recipient) 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.

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 (Recipient)

directs otherwise), and (2) 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.

terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the

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 (Recipient), or property supplied to the Contractor by the
(Recipient). If the termination is for default, the (Recipient) may fix the fee, if the contract

performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its
termination claim to the (Recipient) and the parties shall negotiate the termination
settlement to be paid the Contractor.

If the termination is for the convenience of the (Recipient), the Contractor shall be paid its
contract close-out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for payment of a fee, in

9. GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)
Background and Applicability
In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal
agencies, DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This
government-wide regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension,
Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Section 2455, Public Law
103-355, 108 Stat. 3327).
The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level
expected to equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract (at any level) for
Federally required auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change from prior
7656 Max Ticket Vending Machines – Collection Services Page 37 of 40
practice in that the dollar threshold for application of these rules has been lowered from
$100,000 to $25,000. These are contracts and subcontracts referred to in the regulation as
“covered transactions.”
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions
are required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) they propose to
contract or subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this by (a) Checking the
Excluded Parties List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that person, or (c) Adding a clause or
condition to the contract or subcontract. This represents a change from prior practice in that certification is
still acceptable but is no longer required. 49 CFR 29.300.
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must require the entities
they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include this requirement in their own
subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows down to subcontracts at all levels).
Clause Language
The following clause language is suggested, not mandatory. It incorporates the optional
method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified by certification.
Suspension and Debarment
This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the
contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at
49 CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or
disqualified as defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945.
The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include the
requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered
transaction it enters into.
By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows:
The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by {insert
agency name}. If it is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an
erroneous certification, in addition to remedies available to {insert agency name}, the Federal
Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or
debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR 29,
Subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise
from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such
compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.
10. BREACHES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Disputes - Disputes arising in the performance of this Contract which are not resolved by
agreement of the parties shall be decided in writing by the authorized representative of City's
[title of employee]. This decision shall be final and conclusive unless within [ten (10)] days
from the date of receipt of its copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes a written
appeal to the [title of employee]. In connection with any such appeal, the Contractor shall be
afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its position. The
decision of the [title of employee] shall be binding upon the Contractor and the Contractor
shall abide be the decision.
7656 Max Ticket Vending Machines – Collection Services Page 38 of 40
Performance During Dispute - Unless otherwise directed by City, Contractor shall continue
performance under this Contract while matters in dispute are being resolved.
Claims for Damages - Should either party to the Contract suffer injury or damage to person
or property because of any act or omission of the party or of any of his employees, agents or
others for whose acts he is legally liable, a claim for damages therefor shall be made in
writing to such other party within a reasonable time after the first observance of such injury of
damage.
Remedies - Unless this contract provides otherwise, all claims, counterclaims, disputes and
other matters in question between the City and the Contractor arising out of or relating to this
agreement or its breach will be decided by arbitration if the parties mutually agree, or in a
court of competent jurisdiction within the State in which the City is located.
Rights and Remedies - The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and
the rights and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any
duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law. No action or
failure to act by the City, (Architect) or Contractor shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty
afforded any of them under the Contract, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute
an approval of or acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as may be specifically
agreed in writing.
