Definitions
Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser or
reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known as
“Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”.
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of
performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The generally accepted
definition of Andrew Savitz for TBL is that it “captures the essence of sustainability by
measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its profitability
and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.”

by the City of Fort Collins.”
In case of the breach of any provision of the Insurance Requirements, the City, at its
option, may take out and maintain, at the expense of the Service Provider, such
insurance as the City may deem proper and may deduct the cost of such insurance from
any monies which may be due or become due the Service Provider under this

insureds on the Service Provider 's general liability and automobile liability insurance
policies for any claims arising out of work performed under this Agreement.

liability insurance as will provide coverage for damage claims of personal injury,

CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICES provided to the City of Fort Collins (the “City”) pursuant to
this Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Service Provider hereby acknowledges that it has been
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
collectively, regardless of nature, referred to as “information”) that are the property of and/or
relate to the City or its employees, customers or suppliers, which access is related to the
performance of services that the Service Provider has agreed to perform, the Service Provider
hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
That information that has or will come into its possession or knowledge in connection with the
performance of services for the City may be confidential and/or proprietary. The Service
Provider agrees to treat as confidential (a) all information that is owned by the City, or that
relates to the business of the City, or that is used by the City in carrying on business, and (b) all
information that is proprietary to a third party (including but not limited to customers and
suppliers of the City). The Service Provider shall not disclose any such information to any
person not having a legitimate need-to-know for purposes authorized by the City. Further, the
Service Provider shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself,
or any third party, except as specifically authorized by the City.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Service Provider understands that it shall
have no obligation under this Agreement with respect to information and material that (a)
becomes generally known to the public by publication or some means other than a breach of
duty of this Agreement, or (b) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed,
provided that the request for such disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that
which is required. In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Service Provider shall
furnish a copy of this Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and
shall promptly advise the City in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Service Provider ceases to perform services for the City, or the City so
requests for any reason, the Service Provider shall promptly return to the City any and all
information described hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or summaries (handwritten or
mechanically produced) thereof, in its possession or control or as to which it otherwise has
access.
The Service Provider understands and agrees that the City’s remedies at law for a breach of the
Service Provider’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be inadequate and that
the City shall, in the event of any such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including
without limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in
addition to all other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
