Monitors
g. Monitors: These will include plug and play compatible monitors that are manufactured for the above systems and/or any other brand that may be specifically called for by the ordering entity and which meet the most current UL and OSHA requirements.

CDW•G’s product portfolio offers a variety of monitor solutions, including plug-and-play compatible monitors. Should the City of Mesa or any OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agency have specific UL or OSHA requirements to meet, we will work with you to determine the best products that meet your needs, requirements, and budget.

CDW•G understands that the right computer monitor or display can make all the difference. No matter the purpose, we get that a good monitor is important to you. CDW•G offers a wide range of monitor and display types with response times of less than 2 ms and 4k resolution. Plus, we partner with all the top monitor brands, including Acer, ASUS, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, ViewSonic, and many more.

Computer Monitors
Computer monitors are an integral part of any setup. For design and media-specific industries, high-resolution monitors are a must and need to be paired with an adequate graphics card.

Other display solutions, such as business computer monitors, are capable of standard office tasks such as word processing or web browsing. No matter what you need a display for, CDW•G has a large selection of computer monitors from industry-leading brands and manufacturers. We are committed to working with you to determine what suits your needs.

Large Format Displays
One of the most powerful tools for a modern business is the implementation of large-format displays. Everything from adaptive menus to digital signage and anything in between can quickly be displayed or adjusted on these large screens. Devices such as smart boards have changed the educational landscape and make lessons and presentations more accessible and diverse than ever before. For advertising, these displays save money and significantly reduce paper waste and the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies’ environmental footprint.

Monitor Accessories
CDW•G experts can help the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies determine which accessories will work best for you and how they can improve your setup.

Monitor accessories like mounts or privacy screens allow you to maximize productivity in any location. Other accessories like specific cables or adapters work to ensure any device can interface and work with any monitor.

Projectors
In addition to a large selection of monitors and accessories, CDW•G also offers projectors.

While not technically monitors, projectors are a common form of computer display that allow the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies obtain display sizes far more extensive than any screen. These large-size displays are perfect for video conferencing with groups, work presentations, staff meetings, or even community events in the park. We offer interactive projectors, large venue projectors, office projectors, as well as projector accessories, from leading brands such as Epson, Sony, LG, and more.

The standard manufacturer warranty that comes with most products is a “best effort” commitment for response time. Regardless of the application of a system for the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies, the “best effort” level of service is frequently not sufficient to achieve desired business continuity. Even a non-critical repair, such as a tablet, can keep a coworker without this tool for 8-10 business days. Moreover, standard manufacturer warranties can quickly expire. The average industry cost for maintenance is $85-$120 per hour plus parts; quickly leaping past the cost to extend the warranty. As such, we recommend the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies take advantage of the warranty, repair, and maintenance options we offer.

CDW•G offers a breadth of warranty options, repair services, and maintenance agreements to provide our customers the insurance of predictable costs and repair response times that a warranty agreement can provide. Our comprehensive suite of product lifecycle support offerings includes:
 Warranty extensions and upgrades
 Post warranty support
 Accidental damage protection
 Maintenance contract agreements
 Post-sale technical support
 Product and certification training
 Onsite repair
 Depot repair
 Help desk service
Account Managers keep a watchful eye on all of their customers’ agreements and have preemptive discussions to ensure customers’ next warranty purchase meets their needs as well.

Examples of our available warranty levels, popular warranty options, and related value added services are included below. The completeness of our portfolio allows us to provide effective problem diagnosis and resolution for every customer need.

Basic Warranty
CDW•G’s basic warranty offering includes the following:
 CDW•G provided 30 day warranty – We offer a complimentary 30 day warranty for all products we sell. Once the 30 days have expired, CDW•G’s technical support or the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies’ dedicated Account Manager assist in requesting the manufacturer warranty service.  Certified technician support – We provide toll-free, email, and on-line chat technical support on all hardware and operating systems for up to two years after purchase from CDW.

improve content quality and velocity, and provide deeper insights into how their users were utilizing the site.

Solution
CDW•G performed a Discovery Phase with key business and IT stakeholders to elicit and document high-level business goals, user personas, site features, high-level user stories, and the high-level technical architecture for an Adobe Experience Manager website implementation. The information gathered from the discovery phase was used as the basis for creating a list of Experience Manager templates and components that would be needed to successfully migrate the existing website to Experience Manager. The CDW•G creative team worked with the customer on their vision for the redesigned website.

After a collaborative process, the team finalized designs that would transform the existing web experience. CDW•G then implemented the required templates, components, and integrations to migrate and launch the new public website on Adobe Experience Manager.

Key features of these phases included:
 Agile delivery: The team adopted an agile process to create and extend more than 50 Experience Manager components and templates across multiple three-week sprints. End-of-sprint demos allowed the State’s stakeholders to provide early feedback on whether any course corrections or minor tweaks were needed.  Website redesign: CDW•G collaborated with the customer and created more than 18 pages of designs, including both website and mobile layouts, to serve as templates that focused on providing website users with a seamless way to find and consume content.
 CDW•G Digital Foundation: The CDW•G Digital Foundation accelerator was leveraged to create the new website. The accelerator consists of dozens of Experience Manager components that CDW•G has invested in developing, based on common client use cases. The use of the accelerator lowered overall development complexity and effort, leading to a reduction in total implementation costs.  Forms search engine: CDW•G created a forms search engine, allowing users to search for forms appropriate for their needs. Content authors can embed references to forms in searchable content, allowing forms to be more easily found than ever before.

The forms search engine makes it simple for the customer to update form data in one place and reflect those form updates sitewide.
 Analytics: Adobe Analytics was configured with Experience Manager using Adobe Launch. CDW•G created an Analytics data layer to capture user behavior based on the customer’s requirements.
 Content author enablement and author guide: CDW•G created an author guide, giving authors a place to find answers to their content questions, as well as a basis for how to create a page and which templates to use.
 Strategic consulting advice: Throughout the project, CDW•G provided strategic consulting advice with respect to Adobe product features and best practices, becoming a trusted advisor to the State’s stakeholders. Our consulting and relationship with the customer were key to the project's success.

Outcome
This customer launched a newly redesigned public website and its ever-expanding capabilities through the MyCase portal. For the citizens of this state, locating and accessing information and tools is easier than ever. Whether at home or on the go, users can journey

Any defective or damaged devices that are discovered during the configuration or warehousing process will be removed from stock and replaced with new, functional devices.

Distribution of Products and Services
B. Describe how supplier proposes to distribute the products/service nationwide. Include any states where products and services will not be offered under the Master Agreement, including US Territories and Outlying Areas.

CDW•G provides nationwide delivery for our hardware products and has a robust system in place to secure timely delivery. Many of our top manufacturers and software publishers’ representatives are onsite at CDW•G’s sales offices to facilitate requests for information and assist with designing the best possible solutions.
 We receive detailed insight into supply chain availability, manufacturing delays, distribution shortages, and overstocks, as well as other disruptions related to supply and demand variability
 We often secure additional inventory to offset any known supply issues  CDW•G works closely with our vendor partners to train and certify our account managers and technical staff and to deploy and manage technologies in customer environments  CDW•G has received awards and recognition from our partners for developing and delivering exceptional solutions
Products and services will be offered to all states under the Master Agreement, including US Territories and Outlying Areas where allowable and applicable by local government regulations, CDW•G contractual limitations, and our relationships with the respective manufacturers.

Additionally, due to the relationships that CDW•G has with both OEM partners and shipping carriers, we ensure the traceability of products regardless of their origin. If products are shipped directly from a manufacturer location, our logistics and drop ship team maintains active communication with the manufacturer and the preferred carrier to ensure that the correct number and model of products are being shipped, and that shipment schedules are being met.

We do not procure from gray market vendors and only work directly with manufacturers and their authorized sources. Our supply chain complies with industry standards to support the IT needs of public sector customers. Our catalog contains a vast range of manufacturers, so customers can expect transparency since we do not manufacture products ourselves. The Government Industry Data Exchange Program provides a report of counterfeit or suspected counterfeit products weekly. We cross-reference this list with our inventory and sales. To date, none (0%) of the products we’ve carried or sold have been classified as counterfeit. All of CDW•G’s shipping and quality processes are based on the ISO 9001:2015 certification standards, of which we are certified.

Streamlined Order Process and Fulfillment
Once an order is credit-released, it goes to the purchasing department to check whether the products are in stock. If products require configuration services, they will be sent to CDW•G configuration center, a designated area of our distribution center, where they will be configured according to the customer’s specifications. Our highly trained and experienced configuration technicians perform custom configurations very efficiently.

A product never leaves the configuration center without receiving a full three-stage quality control check, even if it is only being asset tagged. Also, prior to shipping, all packed boxes go through quality control checks.

Milwaukee Ave. | Vernon Hills, IL 60061 To the extent allowable, all information and documents hereby submitted in response to the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) furnished by the City of Mesa are the Proprietary and Confidential property of CDW Government LLC (“CDW•G”).

Fulfillment
The order fulfillment process begins when a batch of orders are systematically released and sorted according to type and priority; for example, split-case picks, full-case picks, oversized picks, and install picks. Our ISO-certified order fulfillment procedures and requirements meet rigorous industry standards to ensure that your order is shipped quickly and accurately.

Overnight and Configurations-Priority orders receive processing priority during order fulfillment.

Extendable conveyors move in and out of trailers, bringing product directly to the current loading position and optimizing the number of people needed to load a trailer. CDW•G has an agreement with UPS for direct lane shipping and will pre-sort packages into trailers that go directly to a sorting hub closer to the end-destination. This reduces overall processing and travel time to increase our 2-day delivery footprint.

The majority of orders are picked paperlessly, using radio frequency scanners, or voice picking headsets in our Las Vegas (LV) distribution center to identify the product necessary for the shipment and direct the coworker to the proper location. The product UPC is scanned to verify quality and serial numbers are captured via a barcode scan. Smaller items are picked directly into CDW branded boxes or padded envelopes, with automation for the carton assembly and shipping label application in the LV distribution center. Larger items are placed onto the conveyor where the entire carton is goes through a scan tunnel to review all barcodes and then shipping labels are automatically applied. The largest items are picked in a similar manner via forklift; coworkers are directed to the location, the product is scanned for quality, and then the product is taken to a printing station to receive the shipping labels.

Efficient Distribution System
Our distribution centers are designed for continuous commitment to accuracy, quality, and speed. Our facilities have multiple levels of storage, miles of high speed conveyors and sorters, UPC bar code scanning, product serial number capture, with a paperless Radio Frequency (RF) and Voice Directed picking processes. Each step in the product movement process is verified with a barcode scan, from receiving through shipping. We ship 40,000 to 50,000 boxes per day depending on the time of year.

As one of the largest direct marketing resellers in the US, CDW•G has positioned itself very closely with the major shipping companies and other delivery service companies to provide standard or expedited product delivery. Due to the extensive carrier worldwide service capabilities, excellent record for on-time delivery, and competitive pricing, we ship the majority of our products via UPS or FedEx. Both companies have on site employees at our distribution centers, individuals with a track record of supporting CDW•G with sophisticated capabilities to leverage their intermodal transport options. We also have contracts with truck load (TL) and less than truck load (LTL) carriers for large orders and heavy products.

Master Agreement Pricing Compliance
C. Describe how Participating Agencies are ensured they will receive the Master Agreement pricing; include all distribution channels such as direct ordering, retail or in-store locations, through distributors, etc. Describe how Participating Agencies verify and audit pricing to ensure its compliance with the Master Agreement.

Compliance
Immediately upon award of a contract, Ty reviews and disseminates the contract documents and all related proposal documents, recording all items that CDW•G will need to manage. Ty is responsible for ensuring that CDW•G observes commitments included in the contract. For example, if CDW•G commits to a pricing structure based on a certain discount from advertised pricing, it is Ty’s responsibility to record the pricing in the contract management software, which then locks the structure for purchases made under the contract. Since Ty is often the person most familiar with the contract, she will also make recommendations for improvements and efficiencies based upon their constant analysis of the contract’s provisions and trends with the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners' use of the contract.

Automated Contract Management System
Ty sets up the pricing in our Contract Management System and works with our in-house eProcurement/Digital team to update your online catalog with fixed pricing and the various logons and security settings for OMNIA Partners’ Participating Public Agencies. Once the structure is loaded, no additional manual intervention is needed to maintain it. End users will be able to view and verify the contracted pricing through this unique URL without the need to log in with a password.

Most manufacturers send us daily Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) downloads with pricing and product availability information.

Also, we receive timely notifications regarding product changes and lifecycles, as well as real time inventory information.

Our two distribution centers are located in close proximity to principal distributors; this enables us to obtain competitively priced, non-stocked items relatively quickly.

launch contracts to the CDW•G teams with the most powerful and applicable details to optimize the success of this new Agreement.

We bring leaders from across our public sector teams together with OMNIA Partners multiple times a year to review contract initiatives, joint goals, and customer feedback. OMNIA Partners can look forward to collaborating with diverse group of leaders who have extensive experience with the OMNIA contract portfolio, including Mark Ellis, Elysse Wayman, Heather Kohls, and Chris Webb.

Our ongoing effort in specific target accounts helps increase contract utilization and drive contract adoption amongst nonparticipating agencies. We meet monthly to review the current state of the business and execution of our growth and marketing strategies.

Training and Education
ii. Training and education of Supplier’s national sales force with participation from the Supplier’s executive leadership, along with the OMNIA Partners team within first 90 days.

CDW•G is committed to providing training and education to our national sales force in collaboration with our Executive Leadership and OMNIA Partners during the initial phase of contract signing in the first 90 days.

CDW•G’s Program Management and Capture Teams are singularly devoted to launching and managing contracts of this particular magnitude, including significant incumbent contracts with a customized approach. These groups’ responsibilities are separate from those held by account managers. Members of the Program Management Team are dedicated to maintaining contract compliance and administering contract procedures, while the Capture Team focuses on building strategy of contract capture and contract success. Together, they collaborate on a formal contract launch plan. CDW•G invests in these resources based on our understanding that contracts are complex commitments.

The City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners’ dedicated CDW•G Program Manager, Ty Robles, has an in-depth working knowledge of OMNIA Partners, including the former cooperatives, National IPA and TCPN. She collaborates with CDW•G’s marketing department to create awareness and training campaigns to enable our national sales force.

Over the first 90 days, in partnership with the OMNIA Partners team, Ty will engage key members of the CDW•G’s executive leadership team to implement our contract launch strategy plans. With our experience on our existing OMNIA contracts, our robust implementation plan ensures we are able to bring our national sales force up to speed quickly.

We will be ready to roll out a robust training program for our sellers and technical SMEs, upon contract award. Training content will cover contract scope and operations, growth strategy endorsed by executive leadership, and the contract benefits. We expect this to happen within the first 30-45 days of the contract signature. The documentation Ty compiles in conjunction with our marketing department will be customized depending on the needs and the region of the seller to ensure our messaging matches the customers within that geography.

Our sellers will then be equipped with relevant collateral to communicate to customers the benefits and strength of this contract. Curriculum development, trainings, and collateral creation will be completed within 90 days of contract award. Our launch strategy extends beyond 90 days with a quarterly review to ensure plan to action. As with current contract, we will continue to have ongoing training through the life of the contract.

Marketing Plan
B. Provide a detailed ninety-day plan beginning from award date of the Master Agreement describing the strategy to market the Master Agreement to current Participating Public Agencies, existing Public Agency customers of Supplier, as well as to prospective Public Agencies nationwide immediately upon award, to include, but not limited to:

Just as our Program Management team leads contract launch and maintenance requirements, our Marketing team, including Cathy and Trenece, are already engaged will continue to build comprehensive, strategic marketing programs for our OMNIA Partners contracts.

Additionally, our sales force upholds strategic relationships with current and potential OMNIA Participating Public Agencies. These relationships uniquely position us to develop and deliver awareness and growth campaigns to members through a trusted advisor network. Our account teams have long-standing customer relationships in which they often become an extension of their customers’ IT and purchasing teams. Our account managers speak with their customers weekly, if not daily. As a result, our customers turn to their account managers for purchasing recommendations, including which contracts to leverage. Within 90 days of contract award, we will leverage this trusted advisor network and our marketing capabilities (e.g., customer-facing collateral, email campaigns, call campaigns, social media, etc.) to quickly and effectively alert registered and potential customers of the new contract and its benefits.

CDW•G has a robust approach towards publicizing and promoting the new agreement and differentiating from our existing contract. Our live touch approach includes a proactive communication program, as well as both inside and field sales teams meeting with eligible users.

Our customers rely on their account manager as an expert resource; this includes leveraging contracts. CDW•G’s sales and marketing plan combines past CDW•G marketing successes with a strategy to effectively capture net new business. We leverage our reporting capabilities to determine potential target customers. After determining targets, CDW•G can then educate them on the benefits of the new contract and grow net-new business. Through this method, the City of Mesa, OMNIA Partners, and CDW•G will gain traction with users faster than a supplier that does not have these existing relationships in place.

Press Release
i. Creation and distribution of a co-branded press release to trade publications To successfully implement a marketing plan, marketers must first know their audience and how to access them. CDW•G partners with various trade publications to access our target customers.

We continue to examine opportunities for underpenetrated or net new customers to increase adoption of the contract.

We have a large manufacturer presence in our offices across the country and are blanketed in the field with our field account executives. To provide each OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agency with one contact who is knowledgeable of every nuance of your organizations, Account Teams are further segmented by agency type, Education (K-12/High Ed) or Government.

Together, AMs, ATAEs, and their respective managers are led by Sales Directors, also segmented by region and vertical.

satisfaction. Dedicated account teams serve their customers with exemplary service and customer satisfaction across State agencies, local governments, and municipalities; public and private school districts / K-12; and institutions of higher education.

Our teams are responsible for quotes, orders, pre-and post-sales consultation, and issue resolution over the life of the contract. Graphics that illustrate our sales organization are provided below.

Each segment is further broken down by region and supported by local offices across the country. This regional, state, and local focus gives dedicated CDW•G Account Managers the opportunity to do the following:

 Account Managers in education understand the unique impact of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and other privacy laws on technology solutions and services.  Education Strategists have the background knowledge and experience in helping districts win competitive grants.

With roughly 1,900 CDW•G coworkers, supported by more than 12,000 coworkers throughout the entirety of CDW, our segment and regional focus help ensure that our account teams are best prepared to support the local landscape in a way unmatched by other suppliers.

Sales Organization
As mentioned above, Account Teams are organized geographically, enhancing their knowledge of the local landscape, including key partnerships and local practices for contracting. Supporting our Account Teams are technology specialists and engineers, including segment-specific experts like our K-12 Education Strategists. All of these coworkers will act as an extension of our Account Teams in support of the City of Mesa and each OMNIA Partners’ Participating Public Agency. Through their expertise in specific solution sets, our subject matter experts advise the City and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies on technology to make informed decisions in support of mission-critical objectives.

The CDW•G customer support models start with our Account Managers. As part of the CDW•G Experience, we organize our sales force differently from other companies to best serve the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies. First, our Account Managers are trained to become experts within the public sector segment they support: K-12, Higher Education, State and Local government, Federal government, and Healthcare. The advantage is that they can address the very specific needs of their unique customers. To further equip our Account Managers to support the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies, CDW•G divides the salesforce into distinct geographic regions to ensure that sellers are prepared to support the local landscape.

Your CDW•G Account Manager maintains the overall responsibility for coordinating resources to achieve the highest standards of customer service. CDW•G Account Managers, their supporting product specialists, and their sales managers understand the current technology trends and are specialized to only work with public-sector customers. This is one of the great benefits of partnering with CDW•G. The City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies will have access to much more than a single resource; they will also have access to an entire sales and support team ready to address any agency’s need. CDW•G, from the executive level down to your Account Manager, is focused on ensuring that the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies’ needs are consistently and satisfactorily met.

Implementation
I. Explain in detail how the sales teams will work with the OMNIA Partners team to implement, grow and service the national program.

The City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies’ first point of contact with CDW•G is their dedicated account manager. As such, we understand how critical it is for our account managers to understand the scope and benefits of the OMNIA agreement. In conjunction with the technical trainings offered to our CDW•G account teams, our Program Management team will train our sales teams regarding the OMNIA agreement with CDW•G. The diverse nature of our training program gives each account team confidence to support OMNIA Partners through the entire sales cycle from project inception, purchase, solution deployment, and post-sale support. Our account teams clearly and concisely deliver the value of the OMNIA Partners agreement to non-members helping to drive increased adoption and contract growth.

Public sector customers are seeking a digital platform for quick and simple procurement of transactional items. CDW•G Account Managers, across all segments and regions nationwide, will be poised and prepared to guide and educate members on this procurement option.

Tenured CDW•G Account Managers are actively marketing the current City of Mesa OMNIA agreement to customers and are very familiar with its benefits, including product categories, administrative fee structure, and flexibility. While there will be subsequent trainings upon award, this contract will easily be added to our account manager’s repertoire. The ramp up time for our account managers will be far quicker than account managers who lack such familiarity with OMNIA agreements.

In addition to our Account Managers, our Business Development team, including Mark Ellis, Elysse Wayman, Jason Schwartz, and Chris Webb, is actively engaged with OMNIA Regional Managers and leaders in Partner Development and Strategic Accounts to review the state of our joint business, develop growth goals and strategies and execute prescriptively to drive business the OMNIA Partners portfolio. This new contract will fit seamlessly into the overall program allowing us to quickly develop and expand contract usage utilizing a proven model.

Program Management
I. Explain in detail how Supplier will manage the overall national program throughout the term of the Master Agreement, including ongoing coordination of marketing and sales efforts, timely new Participating Public Agency account set-up, timely contract administration, etc.

This contract will continue to be led by your Program Manager, Ty, with the full support of the Program Management Team, ensuring contract compliance and administering contract procedures, including contract launch. We use proprietary tools for pricing, account setup, and other contract lifecycle management activities to ensure compliance and seamless use of the contract for OMNIA Partners Participating Public Agencies. As an incumbent, we believe the transition efforts will be minimal and provide a better experience for the City and OMNIA PPA.

We have quality assurance tools to ensure timely reporting, fee payments and other contractual obligations. In addition, we have monthly meetings with OMNIA and any issues will be addressed in an expedient manner.

Upon award, the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners’ CDW•G’s Program Manager, Ty Robles, will work directly with the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners to stand-up all aspects of the new agreement within our system (e.g., member lists, pricing, reporting, fee schedules, and other compliance requirements). We will load the contract structure into our internal contract editor system, which will then update the information on the City of Mesa and OMNIA Partners’ premium page; this page will reflect the contracted price. Due to our robust systems, pricing is dynamically and systematically managed requiring little to no manual intervention.

After contract launch, the Program Management team is responsible for adding new members to the contract by linking their account to the new contract. We review the OMNIA members list in a frequent cadence to ensure new members, are offered the contract, as applicable. Contract stand-up also includes creation of internal and external resources to aid our customers and sales teams in transitioning to the new Agreement. Additionally, Ty and the Program Management team will continue to ensure all sales reporting and administrative fees are provided accurately and on time.

Our ongoing marketing efforts will include the previously discussed topics – i.e., training, publications, attendance at events – to ensure this contract is continually being marketed from contract launch through completion.

FEDERAL CERTIFICATIONS
ADDENDUM FOR AGREEMENT FUNDED BY U.S. FEDERAL GRANT
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Participating Agencies may elect to use federal funds to purchase under the Master Agreement. This form should be completed and returned.

DEFINITIONS
Contract means a legal instrument by which a non–Federal entity purchases property or services needed to carry out the project or program under a Federal award. The term as used in this part does not include a legal instrument, even if the non–Federal entity considers it a contract, when the substance of the transaction meets the definition of a Federal award or subaward Contractor means an entity that receives a contract as defined in Contract.

Cooperative agreement means a legal instrument of financial assistance between a Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity and a non–Federal entity that, consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6302–6305:
(a) Is used to enter into a relationship the principal purpose of which is to transfer anything of value from the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to the non–Federal entity to carry out a public purpose authorized by a law of the United States (see 31 U.S.C. 6101(3)); and not to acquire property or services for the Federal government or pass-through entity's direct benefit or use;
(b) Is distinguished from a grant in that it provides for substantial involvement between the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity and the non–Federal entity in carrying out the activity contemplated by the Federal award. (c) The term does not include:
(1) A cooperative research and development agreement as defined in 15 U.S.C. 3710a; or (2) An agreement that provides only:
(i) Direct United States Government cash assistance to an individual; (ii) A subsidy;
(iii) A loan;
(iv) A loan guarantee; or
(v) Insurance.

Federal awarding agency means the Federal agency that provides a Federal award directly to a non–Federal entity Federal award has the meaning, depending on the context, in either paragraph (a) or (b) of this section:
(a)(1) The Federal financial assistance that a non–Federal entity receives directly from a Federal awarding agency or indirectly from a pass-through entity, as described in § 200.101 Applicability; or (2) The cost-reimbursement contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulations that a non–Federal entity receives directly from a Federal awarding agency or indirectly from a pass-through entity, as described in § 200.101 Applicability.
(b) The instrument setting forth the terms and conditions. The instrument is the grant agreement, cooperative agreement, other agreement for assistance covered in paragraph (b) of § 200.40 Federal financial assistance, or the cost-reimbursement contract awarded under the Federal Acquisition Regulations. (c) Federal award does not include other contracts that a Federal agency uses to buy goods or services from a contractor or a contract to operate Federal government owned, contractor operated facilities (GOCOs). (d) See also definitions of Federal financial assistance, grant agreement, and cooperative agreement.

Non–Federal entity means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.

Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 49 of 133
Nonprofit organization means any corporation, trust, association, cooperative, or other organization, not including IHEs, that:
(a) Is operated primarily for scientific, educational, service, charitable, or similar purposes in the public interest; (b) Is not organized primarily for profit; and
(c) Uses net proceeds to maintain, improve, or expand the operations of the organization.

Obligations means, when used in connection with a non–Federal entity's utilization of funds under a Federal award, orders placed for property and services, contracts and subawards made, and similar transactions during a given period that require payment by the non–Federal entity during the same or a future period.

Pass-through entity means a non–Federal entity that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal program.

Recipient means a non–Federal entity that receives a Federal award directly from a Federal awarding agency to carry out an activity under a Federal program. The term recipient does not include subrecipients.

Simplified acquisition threshold means the dollar amount below which a non–Federal entity may purchase property or services using small purchase methods. Non–Federal entities adopt small purchase procedures in order to expedite the purchase of items costing less than the simplified acquisition threshold. The simplified acquisition threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1908. As of the publication of this part, the simplified acquisition threshold is $250,000, but this threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. (Also see definition of § 200.67 Micro-purchase.)
Subaward means an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract.

Subrecipient means a non–Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of other Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency.

FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Awarded Supplier(s) (also referred to as Contractors) may need to respond to events and losses where products and services are needed for the immediate and initial response to emergency situations such as, but not limited to, water damage, fire damage, vandalism cleanup, biohazard cleanup, sewage decontamination, deodorization, and/or wind damage during a disaster or emergency situation. By submitting a proposal, the Supplier is accepted these FEMA and Additional Federal Funding Special Conditions required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal entities. “Contract” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as the “Master Agreement”. “Contractor” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as “Supplier” or “Awarded Supplier”.

Conflicts of Interest
No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a FEMA award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a “financial interest” to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an “apparent” conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, officer, or agent participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of the Participating Public Agency nor the Participating Public Agency (“NFE”) must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE’s may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE’s written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE’s employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.

Contractor Integrity
A contractor must have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics. Contractors that are debarred or suspended, as described in and subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R.

Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension), must be rejected and cannot receive contract awards at any level.

Notice of Legal Matters Affecting the Federal Government In the event FTA or DOT funding is used by Participating Public Agency, Contractor agrees to:
1) The Contractor agrees that if a current or prospective legal matter that may affect the Federal Government emerges, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Participating Public Agency of the legal matter in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §§ 180.220 and 1200.220. 2) The types of legal matters that require notification include, but are not limited to, a major dispute, breach, default, litigation, or naming the Federal Government as a party to litigation or a legal disagreement in any forum for any reason.

Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 60 of 133
3) The Contractor further agrees to include the above clause in each subcontract, at every tier, financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by the FTA.

Public Policy
A contractor must comply with the public policies of the Federal Government and state, local government, or tribal government. This includes, among other things, past and current compliance with the:
a. Equal opportunity and nondiscrimination laws
b. Five affirmative steps described at 2 C.F.R. § 200.321(b) for all subcontracting under contracts supported by FEMA financial assistance; and FEMA Procurement Guidance June 21, 2016 Page IV- 7 c. Applicable prevailing wage laws, regulations, and executive orders Affirmative Steps
For any subcontracting opportunities, Contractor must take the following Affirmative steps:

1. Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises on solicitation lists;

2. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;

3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises;

4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises; and

5. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce.

Prevailing Wage Requirements
When applicable, the awarded Contractor (s) and any and all subcontractor(s) agree to comply with all laws regarding prevailing wage rates including the Davis-Bacon Act, applicable to this solicitation and/or Participating Public Agencies. The Participating Public Agency shall notify the Contractor of the applicable pricing/prevailing wage rates and must apply any local wage rates requested. The Contractor and any subcontractor(s) shall comply with the prevailing wage rates set by the Participating Public Agency.

Federal Requirements
If products and services are issued in response to an emergency or disaster recovery the items below, located in this FEMA Special Conditions section of the Federal Funds Certifications, are activated and required when federal funding may be utilized.
2 C.F.R. § 200.326 and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, Required Contract Clauses

1. CONTRACT REMEDIES
Contracts for more than the federal simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), the dollar amount below which an NFE may purchase property or services using small purchase methods, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018,4 must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms and must provide for sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

1.1 Applicability
This contract provision is required for contracts over the SAT, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018. Although not required for contracts at or below the SAT, FEMA suggests including a remedies provision.

Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 61 of 133

1.2 Additional Considerations
For FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, recipients must include a penalty clause in all contracts for any AFG-funded vehicle, regardless of dollar amount. In that situation, the contract must include a clause addressing that non-delivery by the contract’s specified date or other vendor nonperformance will require a penalty of no less than $100 per day until such time that the vehicle, compliant with the terms of the contract, has been accepted by the recipient. This penalty clause should, however, account for force majeure or acts of God. AFG recipients should refer to the applicable year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for additional information, which can be accessed at FEMA.gov.

2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND CONVENIENCE
a. Standard. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal entity, including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(B). b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.

3. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
When applicable:
a. Standard. Except as otherwise provided under 41 C.F.R. Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 C.F.R. § 60- 1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity (30 Fed. Reg. 12319, 12935, 3 C.F.R. Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p.

b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA contracts awarded by the non- federal entity in excess of $100,000 under grant and cooperative agreement programs that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers. It is applicable to construction work. These requirements do not apply to the purchase of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
c. Suggested Language. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b) provides contract clause language concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. FEMA suggests including the following contract clause:

Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. (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 suchworkweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(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 (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), 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 (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $27 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 (b)(1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The Federal agency or loan/grant recipient 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 Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 67 of 133

7. RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS MADE UNDER A CONTRACT ORAGREEMENT a. Standard. If the FEMA award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37C.F.R. § 401.2(a) and the non-Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding agreement,” the non- Federal entity must comply with the requirements of 37 C.F.R. Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements), and any implementing regulations issued by FEMA. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(F). b. Applicability. This requirement applies to “funding agreements,” but it DOES NOT apply to the Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program, Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households – Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards under these programs do not meet the definition of “funding agreement.”
c. Funding Agreements Definition. The regulation at 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) defines “funding agreement” as any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into between any Federal agency, other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph.

8. CLEAN AIR ACT AND THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROLACT a. Standard.

Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension).
b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.
c. Requirements.
i. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(H); and 2 C.F.R. § 200.213. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.

SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. §180.530. ii. In general, an “excluded” party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a “covered transaction,” to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 69 of 133
as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a “covered transaction,” which is any non-procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a “primary” or “secondary” tier. Although “covered transactions” do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non-procurement common rule and DHS’s implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipients.
iii. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services:

1. The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000.

2. The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardlessof amount.

3. The contract is for federally-required auditservices.

4. A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of$25,000.
d. Suggested Language. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified.

Suspension and Debarment
(1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor’s principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995) or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. §180.935).
(2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.

If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to the Participating Public Agency, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. (4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer.

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (http://www nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006 html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational.

1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).

2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.

3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.

4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.
a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at http://www nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/lpcl html#12. They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted.
d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.

5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006.html). A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE: This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.

When the business entity is a natural person, “a contribution by that person’s spouse or child, residing therewith, shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.” [N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26(b)] The contributor must be listed on the disclosure.

Any business entity that fails to comply with the disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount to be determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity failed to report.

The enclosed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/or candidate campaign committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to identify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be disclosed.

The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement.

The enclosed form, a content-consistent facsimile, or an electronic data file containing the required details (along with a signed cover sheet) may be used as the contractor’s submission and is disclosable to the public under the Open Public Records Act.

The contractor must also complete the attached Stockholder Disclosure Certification. This will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under the law. NOTE: This section does not apply to Board of Education contracts. * N.J.S.A. 19:44A-3(s): “The term "legislative leadership committee" means a committee established, authorized to be established, or designated by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly or the Minority Leader of the General Assembly pursuant to section 16 of P.L.1993, c.65 (C.19:44A10.1) for the purpose of receiving contributions and making expenditures.” Version June 28, 2023

8. LATE RESPONSES: The Respondent assumes responsibility for having the Response submitted on time. All Responses received after the Response Due date and time shall not be considered and will be unopened. The Respondent assumes the risk of any delay caused by not being able to access the system. Respondents must allow adequate time to accommodate all registration and submission requirements. It shall not be sufficient to show that Respondent attempted to submit a response before the due date and time as the Response must be received by the City. All times are Mesa, Arizona local times.

Any Respondent needing assistance or guidance using the online system may contact the Procurement Officer/Supervisor. Do not wait for the last day to submit a response.

The City may accept the Response, subject to successful contract negotiations, at any time during this period.

10. LOBBYING PROHIBITION: Any communication regarding this Solicitation for the purpose of influencing the process or the award, between any person or affiliates seeking an award from this Solicitation and the City including, but not limited to, City Council, City employees, and consultants hired to assist the City in the Solicitation, is prohibited.

This prohibition is imposed from the time of the first public notice of the Solicitation until the City cancels the Solicitation, rejects all Responses, awards a contract, or otherwise takes action that

INSTRUCTIONS
2024056 Page 5 of 133
ends the Solicitation process. This section shall not prohibit public comment at any City Council meeting, study session, or City Council committee meeting.

This prohibition shall not apply to Respondent-initiated communication with the contact(s) identified in the Solicitation or City-initiated communications for the purposes of conducting the procurement including, but not limited to, vendor conferences, clarification of Responses, presentations if provided pursuant to the Solicitation, requests for Best and Final Responses (as set forth in the City Procurement Rules), contract negotiations, protest/appeal resolution, or surveying nonresponsive vendors.

Violations of this provision shall be reported to the Purchasing Administrator. Persons violating this prohibition may be subject to a warning letter or rejection of their Response depending on the nature of the violation.

11. LAWFUL PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES: Arizona Revised Statutes § 1-501 and § 1-502 require all persons who will be awarded a contract (a Public Benefit as defined in 8 USC Section 1621) must demonstrate they are lawfully present in the United States. A person under the statute is defined as a natural person and therefore excludes Limited Liability Companies, Corporations, Partnerships, or other similar types of business entities as indicated on a W-9 form.

Individuals (natural persons) or Sole Proprietorships must complete the affidavit in the “Required Response Forms” section of this Solicitation. Respondents who fail to provide a completed affidavit and fail to provide the necessary documentation may be deemed non-responsive.

12. COMMENCEMENT OF WORK: If a Respondent begins any billable work before the City’s final approval and execution of the contract, Respondent does so at its own risk.

13. RESPONSIBILITY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND: Failure to read, examine, and understand the Solicitation and any of its addenda will not excuse any failure to comply with the requirements of the Solicitation or any resulting contract, nor shall such failure be a basis for claiming additional compensation. The City is not responsible for and will not pay any costs associated with the preparation and submission of a Response. Respondents are cautioned to verify their Responses before submission, as amendments to or withdrawal of Responses submitted after the time specified for the opening of Responses may not be considered. The City will not be responsible for any Respondent errors or omissions.

14. FORM AND CONTENT OF RESPONSES: Responses must be submitted online through the City of Mesa’s Purchasing Website Vendor Self Service portal at https://vendor.mesaaz.gov under the appropriate Solicitation opportunity. Physical submissions, e-mail, or fax submissions will not be accepted unless explicitly allowed by the City of Mesa Purchasing Division. Unless otherwise instructed or allowed, Responses shall be submitted on the forms provided. Responses, including modifications, must be submitted electronically, and signed by an authorized representative of the Respondent. Please line through and initial rather than erase changes. Any modifications to the Solicitation must be identified in the “Exceptions” section of the required response forms. The City does not encourage exceptions. The City is not required to grant exceptions and depending on the exception, the City may reject the Response as non-responsive. The City reserves the right at its sole discretion to negotiate exceptions with a Respondent. If the Response is not properly signed or if any changes are not initialed, it may be considered non-responsive. In the event of a disparity between the unit price and the extended price, the unit price shall prevail unless obviously in error, as determined by the City. The Response must provide all information requested and must address all points set forth in the Solicitation.

15. SPECIFICATIONS: Technical specifications define the minimum acceptable standard. When the specification calls for “Brand Name or Equal,” the brand name product is acceptable. The use of a brand name is for the purpose of describing the standard of quality, performance, and characteristics desired and is not intended to limit or restrict competition. If a Respondent wishes to provide a material or service that is not the brand name, the equivalent material or service must

INSTRUCTIONS
2024056 Page 6 of 133
meet the standard of quality of the brand name product, which is determined at the City’s sole discretion. Equivalent products will be considered upon showing the other product meets the stated specifications and is equivalent to the brand-name product in terms of quality, performance, and desired characteristics. Products that are substantially equivalent to those brands designated will qualify for consideration.

Minor differences that do not affect the suitability of the supply or service for the City’s needs may be accepted. Burden of proof that the product meets the minimum standards or is equal to the brand name product is on the Respondent. The City reserves the right to reject Responses that the City deems unacceptable for any reason.

16. MODIFICATION/WITHDRAWAL OF RESPONSE: Written requests to modify or withdraw a Response received by the City before the scheduled opening time for Responses will be accepted and will be corrected after the Response due date and time. No oral requests will be allowed.

Requests must be addressed and labeled in the same manner as the Response and marked as a MODIFICATION or WITHDRAWAL of the Response. Requests for withdrawal after the Response Due date and time will only be granted upon proof of undue hardship and may result in the forfeiture of any Response security. Any withdrawal after the Response due date and time shall be allowed solely at the City’s discretion.

17. DEBARMENT DISCLOSURE: If the Respondent has been debarred, suspended, or otherwise lawfully precluded from participating in any public procurement activity, including being disapproved as a subcontractor with any federal, state, or local government or agency, or if any such preclusion from participation from any public procurement activity is currently pending, the Respondent shall include a letter with its Response identifying the name and address of the governmental unit, the effective date of the suspension or debarment, the duration of the suspension or debarment, and the relevant circumstances relating to the suspension or debarment. If suspension or debarment is currently pending, a detailed description of all relevant circumstances must be provided by the Respondent, including the details enumerated above. A Response from a Respondent who is currently debarred, suspended, or otherwise lawfully prohibited from any public procurement activity may be rejected. Failure of a Respondent to disclose a debarment or suspension in accordance with this Section may result in the Response being disqualified for an award of the Solicitation.

18. RESERVATIONS: The City reserves the right to reject any or all Responses or any part thereof; to re-issue the Solicitation; to reject non-responsive or non-responsible Responses; to reject unbalanced Responses; to reject Responses where the terms, prices, or awards are conditioned upon another event; to reject individual Responses for failure to meet any requirement; to award by item, part or portion of an item, group of items, or total; to make multiple awards; to waive minor irregularities, defects, omissions, informalities, technicalities or form errors in any Response; to conduct exclusive or concurrent negotiations of any terms, conditions, or exceptions taken by a Respondent or the terms of any agreement/document a Respondent would require the City to sign should Respondent be awarded a contract; and to reject Responses that are outside the City’s budgeted amount for the materials or services that are the subject of the Solicitation. The City may seek clarification of the Response from Respondent at any time, and failure to respond is cause for rejection. Submission of a Response confers no right to an award or a subsequent contract. The City is charged by its Charter to make an award that is in the best interest of the City. All decisions on compliance, evaluation, terms, and conditions shall be made solely at the City’s discretion and made to favor the City. No binding contract will exist between the Respondent and the City until the City executes a written contract or purchase order.

19. EXCEPTIONS TO A SOLICITATION: Changes to the Solicitation document requested by a Respondent may not be acknowledged or accepted by the City. Award or execution of a contract does not constitute acceptance of a changed term, condition, or specification in the Solicitation unless specifically acknowledged and agreed to by the City. The copy of the Solicitation, including all addenda, maintained, and published by the City shall be the official Solicitation document. Any

INSTRUCTIONS
2024056 Page 7 of 133
exception to the Solicitation must be set forth in the “Exceptions” portion of the Response; any exceptions not indicated in the “Exceptions” portion of the Response will be deemed rejected by the City, void and of no contractual significance. The City reserves the right to: (i) reject any or all exceptions requested by a Respondent; (ii), determine a proposal non-responsive due to the exception(s) made by Respondent; (iii) enter into negotiations with a Respondent regarding any of the Respondent’s exceptions, or (iv) accept any or all of a Respondent’s exceptions outright.

20. COPYING OF RESPONSES: The Respondent hereby grants the City permission to copy all parts of its Response including, without limitation, any documents and/or materials copyrighted by the Respondent. The City’s right to copy shall be for internal use in evaluating the Response.

21. CONTRACTOR ETHICS: Contractors doing business with the City shall adhere to the Procurement Ethics Standards, Article 7 of the Procurement Rules. It is the policy of the City to promote courtesy, fairness, impartiality, integrity, service, professionalism, economy, and government by law in the Procurement process. The responsibility for implementing this policy rests with each individual who participates in the Procurement process, including Respondents and Contractors. The failure of a Respondent or Contractor to meet the ethical standards may result in the disqualification of an award under the Solicitation or the termination of a contract with the City.

To achieve the purpose of this Section, it is essential Respondents and Contractors doing business with the City observe the ethical standards prescribed herein and in the City Charter, Code Procurement Rules, and Management Policy 200. It shall be a breach of ethical standards to:
a. Exert any effort to influence any City official, employee, or agent to breach the standards of ethical conduct.
b. Intentionally invoice any amount greater than provided in a contract or invoice for materials or services not provided.
c. Intentionally offer or provide sub-standard materials or services or intentionally not comply with any term, condition, specification, or other requirements of a City contract.

22. GIFTS: The City will accept no gifts, gratuities, or advertising products from Respondents or prospective Respondents and affiliates. The City may request product samples from Respondents solely for the purpose of product evaluation.

23. EVALUATION PROCESS: Responses will be reviewed by an evaluation committee comprised of City employees and/or agents authorized by the City to participate in the evaluation. The evaluation committee may utilize multiple rounds of review to determine which Respondent is most advantageous for the City to award; Respondents’ scores may be adjusted throughout the evaluation process/rounds. The City reserves the right to consider all information relevant to determining an award in the best interest of the City, including Respondents’ performance under prior contracts. The evaluation process may include but is not limited to: a review of proposal Responses, interviews, presentations, site visits, product/service demonstrations, Best and Final Offers, requests for additional information, and requests for clarification. City staff may initiate discussions with Respondents for clarification purposes; however, a request for clarification is not an opportunity for a Respondent to change the Response. A request for clarification and/or additional information from a Respondent does not guarantee clarification and/or additional information will be requested from any other Respondent. Respondents shall not initiate discussions with any City employee, agent, or official as set forth in the Lobbying section of these instructions including, but not limited to, members of the evaluation committee.

24. PRESENTATIONS/INTERVIEWS: A Respondent must provide a formal presentation/interview upon request of the City.

25. SHORT-LISTING: The City, at its sole discretion, may create a shortlist of the highest scored Responses based on a preliminary evaluation of the Responses against the evaluation criteria.

Only those short-listed Respondents will be invited to give presentations/interviews. Upon

INSTRUCTIONS
2024056 Page 8 of 133
conclusion of any presentations/interviews, the City will finalize the scoring against the evaluation criteria.

26. BEST AND FINAL OFFERS: The City may request Best and Final Offers if the City deems it necessary and the City will determine the scope and subject of any Best and Final request.

Respondents should not expect the City will always ask for Best and Final Offers. Therefore, all Respondents must submit their best offer based on the specifications, terms, and conditions in the Solicitation.

27. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION AND AWARD:
a. The criteria that will be evaluated and their relative weights are:

Round Description Point

1. Minimum Qualifications Assessment Pass or Fail

2. Questionnaire(s)
• Proposer Experience and Qualifications 200.00
• Proposed Method and Approach 400.00
City’s Terms and Conditions 25.00
Proposed Pricing 125.00

3. Interviews/Demo (optional at the City’s discretion), Questions/Answers, and Reference Checks 200.00

4. Best and Final Offer (Pricing)* 125.00
*Pricing points from Round two (2) will be removed from the total score and Round Five (5) (Best and Final) pricing points will be added to the total score.

Pricing will be evaluated based on the below equation:

Lowest Proposal Cost
Proposal Cost being evaluated X Price Points Possible = Pricing Score b. If less than three (3) Responses to a Solicitation are deemed responsive by the City, at the City’s sole discretion, the Responses may be evaluated using simple comparative analysis instead of any announced method of evaluation, subject to meeting administrative and responsibility requirements.
c. Each Response will be evaluated based on responsiveness and responsibility criteria. A failure to meet responsiveness or responsibility criteria will render a Respondent ineligible for the award of a contract under the Solicitation.

1. Responsiveness. The City will determine whether the Response complies with the instructions for submitting a Response set forth in the Solicitation (i.e., the completeness of the Response which encompasses the inclusion of all required attachments and submissions). Responsiveness will also be examined as it pertains to items set forth in this Solicitation that state a Respondent may be deemed non-responsive based upon the content of their Response. The City will reject any Responses that are submitted late.

Failure to meet any requirements in the Solicitation may result in the rejection of a Response as non-responsive.

2. Responsibility. The City will determine whether a Respondent is one with whom the City should do business. Factors the City may evaluate to determine responsibility include, but are not limited to: an excessively high or low priced Response; past performance under any agreement with the City; references from any source including, but not limited to, those

INSTRUCTIONS
2024056 Page 9 of 133
found outside the references listed in the Response and City employees, agents or officials who have experience with the Respondent; compliance with applicable laws; Respondent’s record of performance and integrity (e.g. has the Respondent been delinquent or unfaithful to any contract with the City, whether the Respondent is qualified legally to contract with the City, financial stability and the perceived ability to perform completely as specified). A Respondent must at all times have financial resources sufficient, in the opinion of the City, to ensure the performance of the contract and must provide proof upon request. City staff may also use Dun & Bradstreet or any generally available industry information to evaluate the Respondent. The City reserves the right to inspect and review Respondent’s facilities, equipment, and personnel and those of any identified subcontractors. The City will determine whether any failure to supply information or the quality of the information will result in Respondent being deemed non-responsible.
d. Respondents who have a Transaction Privilege Tax license for Mesa and who, if awarded a contract, would charge the City TPT to be paid to Mesa, will have 2.00% removed from the taxable item(s) from the price set forth in the Response for the purpose of award evaluation.

The awarded Respondent shall however charge the full amount of tax on their invoice(s).

This consideration does not apply to:

1. Construction procurements or any other procurement done using Arizona Revised Statutes Title 34 processes.

2. Purchases using federal or other funds where the agreement that provided the funds precludes any local consideration or preference.

28. COST JUSTIFICATION: In the event, that only one Response to the Solicitation is received, the City may require the Respondent to submit a cost offer in sufficient detail for the City to perform a cost/price analysis to determine if the Response price is fair and reasonable.

29. CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AND ACCEPTANCE: Respondent must be prepared for the City to accept the Response as submitted. If Respondent fails to sign all documents necessary to successfully execute the final contract within a reasonable time as specified, or negotiations do not result in an acceptable agreement, the City may reject the Response or revoke the award and may begin negotiations with another Respondent. Final contract terms must be approved or signed by the appropriately authorized City official(s). No binding contract will exist between the Respondent and the City until the City executes a written contract or purchase order.

30. NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD: Notices of the City’s intent to award a contract are posted to the Purchasing Division’s website before 6:00 P.M. local Arizona time at least seven (7) calendar days before award.

It is the Respondent’s responsibility to check the City of Mesa’s Vendor Self Service portal at https://vendor.mesaaz.gov/ to view Purchasing’s Intent to Award notices. This may be the only notification you will receive regarding the City’s Intent to Award a contract related to this Solicitation.

31. PROTESTS AND APPEALS: If a Respondent or any person believes there is a mistake, impropriety, or defect in the Solicitation, believes the City improperly rejected its Response, or believes the selected Response should not receive the City contract based upon a fact supported issue with the Solicitation or selected Respondent or otherwise protests the award to the Respondent, the Respondent may submit a written protest. All protests and appeals are governed by the City Procurement Rules (“Procurement Rules”). The rules surrounding protests and appeals may be found in Section 6 of the Procurement Rules which are located on the Purchasing Division website at http://mesaaz.gov/business/purchasing.

6. OMNIA PARTNERS CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS. The City of Mesa, as the Principal Procurement Agency, defined in ATTACHMENT E, has partnered with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (“OMNIA Partners”) to make the resultant contract (also known as the “Master Agreement” in materials distributed by OMNIA Partners) from this solicitation available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary

SCOPE OF WORK
2024056 Page 12 of 133
and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program. The City of Mesa is acting as the contracting agency for any other Public Agency that elects to utilize the resulting Master Agreement. Use of the Master Agreement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners (a “Participating Public Agency”) and by using the Master Agreement, any such Participating Public Agency agrees that it is registered with OMNIA Partners, whether pursuant to the terms of a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto on ATTACHMENT E, or as otherwise agreed to. ATTACHMENT E contains additional information about OMNIA Partners and the cooperative purchasing program.

OMNIA Partners is the largest and most experienced purchasing organization for public and private sector procurement. Through the economies of scale created by OMNIA Partners’ public sector subsidiaries and affiliates, our participants have access to competitively solicited and publicly awarded cooperative agreements. For all public sector contracts, the lead agency contracting process continues to be the foundation on which we were established. OMNIA Partners is proud to offer more value and resources to state and local government, higher education, K-12 education, and non-profits.

OMNIA Partners provides shared services and supply chain optimization to government, education, and the private sector. With corporate, pricing, and sales commitments from the Contractor, OMNIA Partners provides marketing and administrative support for the Contractor that directly promotes the Contractor’s products and services to Participating Public Agencies through multiple channels, each designed to promote specific products and services to Public Agencies on a national basis. Participating Public Agencies benefit from pricing based on aggregate spend and the convenience of a contract that has already been advertised and publicly competed. The Contractor benefits from a contract that generally allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Contractor’s need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the Contractor must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a nationwide Contractor, and respond to the OMNIA Partners documents (ATTACHMENT E).

The City of Mesa anticipates spending approximately $150 million over the full potential Master Agreement term for Technology Solutions and Services. While no minimum volume is guaranteed to the Supplier, the estimated annual volume of Technology Solutions and Services purchased under the Master Agreement through OMNIA Partners is approximately $1.5 billion. This projection is based on the current annual volumes among the City of Mesa, other Participating Public Agencies anticipated to utilize the resulting Master Agreement to be made available to them through OMNIA Partners, and volume growth into other Public Agencies through a coordinated marketing approach between the Contractor and OMNIA Partners.

7. ORDERING. Although the City is open to alternate ordering methods, the primary methods for customers placing orders with the Supplier are the following:
a. Online
b. Email
c. Telephone
d. Fax

8. DELIVERY REQUIREMENT. The contractor agrees to deliver all products to the desktop of the ordering customer and be delivered F.O.B. destination, freight pre-paid and allowed to various locations throughout the City. In many cases within the City, the Contractor may be asked to deliver all goods to the front counter within a given department. This is the City of Mesa requirement and other participating agencies may have other delivery requirements.

All transactions, purchase orders, invoices, payments etc., will occur directly between the Supplier and each Participating Public Agency individually, and neither OMNIA Partners, any Principal Procurement Agency nor any Participating Public Agency, including their respective agents, directors, employees or representatives, shall be liable to Supplier for any acts, liabilities, damages, etc., incurred by any other Participating Public Agency.

These requirements are incorporated into and are considered an integral part of this RFP. OMNIA Partners reserves the right to determine whether to make the Master Agreement awarded by the Principal Procurement Agency available to Participating Public Agencies, in its sole and absolute discretion, and any party submitting a response to this RFP acknowledges that any award by the Principal Procurement Agency does not obligate OMNIA Partners to make the Master Agreement available to Participating Procurement Agencies.

1.2 Marketing, Sales and Administrative Support

1.3 Estimated Volume
The dollar volume purchased under the Master Agreement is estimated to be approximately 1.5 billion annually. While no minimum volume is guaranteed to Supplier, the estimated annual volume is projected based on the current annual volumes among the Principal Procurement Agency, other Participating Public Agencies that are anticipated to utilize the resulting Master Agreement to be made available to them through OMNIA Partners, and volume growth into other Public Agencies through a coordinated marketing approach between Supplier and OMNIA Partners.

In instances where supplemental terms and conditions create additional risk and cost for Supplier, Supplier and Participating Public Agency may negotiate additional pricing above and beyond the stated contract not-to-exceed pricing so long as the added price is commensurate with the additional cost incurred by the Supplier.

Any supplemental agreement developed as a result of the Master Agreement is exclusively between the Participating Agency and the Supplier (Contract Sales are reported to OMNIA Partners).

All signed Supplemental Agreements and purchase orders issued and accepted by the Supplier may survive expiration or termination of the Master Agreement. Participating Agencies’ purchase orders may exceed the term of the Master Agreement if the purchase order is issued prior to the expiration of the Master Agreement. Supplier is responsible for reporting all sales and paying the applicable Administrative Fee for sales that use the Master Agreement as the basis for the purchase order, even though Master Agreement may have expired.

DEFINITIONS
Contract means a legal instrument by which a non–Federal entity purchases property or services needed to carry out the project or program under a Federal award. The term as used in this part does not include a legal instrument, even if the non–Federal entity considers it a contract, when the substance of the transaction meets the definition of a Federal award or subaward Contractor means an entity that receives a contract as defined in Contract.

Cooperative agreement means a legal instrument of financial assistance between a Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity and a non–Federal entity that, consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6302–6305:
(a) Is used to enter into a relationship the principal purpose of which is to transfer anything of value from the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to the non–Federal entity to carry out a public purpose authorized by a law of the United States (see 31 U.S.C. 6101(3)); and not to acquire property or services for the Federal government or pass-through entity's direct benefit or use;
(b) Is distinguished from a grant in that it provides for substantial involvement between the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity and the non–Federal entity in carrying out the activity contemplated by the Federal award. (c) The term does not include:
(1) A cooperative research and development agreement as defined in 15 U.S.C. 3710a; or (2) An agreement that provides only:
(i) Direct United States Government cash assistance to an individual; (ii) A subsidy;
(iii) A loan;
(iv) A loan guarantee; or
(v) Insurance.

Federal awarding agency means the Federal agency that provides a Federal award directly to a non–Federal entity Federal award has the meaning, depending on the context, in either paragraph (a) or (b) of this section:
(a)(1) The Federal financial assistance that a non–Federal entity receives directly from a Federal awarding agency or indirectly from a pass-through entity, as described in § 200.101 Applicability; or (2) The cost-reimbursement contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulations that a non–Federal entity receives directly from a Federal awarding agency or indirectly from a pass-through entity, as described in § 200.101 Applicability.
(b) The instrument setting forth the terms and conditions. The instrument is the grant agreement, cooperative agreement, other agreement for assistance covered in paragraph (b) of § 200.40 Federal financial assistance, or the cost-reimbursement contract awarded under the Federal Acquisition Regulations. (c) Federal award does not include other contracts that a Federal agency uses to buy goods or services from a contractor or a contract to operate Federal government owned, contractor operated facilities (GOCOs). (d) See also definitions of Federal financial assistance, grant agreement, and cooperative agreement.

Non–Federal entity means a state, local government, Indian tribe, institution of higher education (IHE), or nonprofit organization that carries out a Federal award as a recipient or subrecipient.

Version June 28, 2023

Obligations means, when used in connection with a non–Federal entity's utilization of funds under a Federal award, orders placed for property and services, contracts and subawards made, and similar transactions during a given period that require payment by the non–Federal entity during the same or a future period.

Pass-through entity means a non–Federal entity that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal program.

Recipient means a non–Federal entity that receives a Federal award directly from a Federal awarding agency to carry out an activity under a Federal program. The term recipient does not include subrecipients.

Simplified acquisition threshold means the dollar amount below which a non–Federal entity may purchase property or services using small purchase methods.

The simplified acquisition threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1908. As of the publication of this part, the simplified acquisition threshold is $250,000, but this threshold is periodically adjusted for inflation. (Also see definition of § 200.67 Micro-purchase.)
Subaward means an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a Federal program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract.

Subrecipient means a non–Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of other Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency.

FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Awarded Supplier(s) (also referred to as Contractors) may need to respond to events and losses where products and services are needed for the immediate and initial response to emergency situations such as, but not limited to, water damage, fire damage, vandalism cleanup, biohazard cleanup, sewage decontamination, deodorization, and/or wind damage during a disaster or emergency situation. By submitting a proposal, the Supplier is accepted these FEMA and Additional Federal Funding Special Conditions required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal entities. “Contract” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as the “Master Agreement”. “Contractor” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as “Supplier” or “Awarded Supplier”.

Conflicts of Interest
No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a FEMA award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a “financial interest” to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an “apparent” conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, officer, or agent participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of the Participating Public Agency nor the Participating Public Agency (“NFE”) must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE’s may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE’s written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE’s employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.

Contractor Integrity
A contractor must have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics. Contractors that are debarred or suspended, as described in and subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R.

Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension), must be rejected and cannot receive contract awards at any level.

Notice of Legal Matters Affecting the Federal Government In the event FTA or DOT funding is used by Participating Public Agency, Contractor agrees to:
1) The Contractor agrees that if a current or prospective legal matter that may affect the Federal Government emerges, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Participating Public Agency of the legal matter in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §§ 180.220 and 1200.220. 2) The types of legal matters that require notification include, but are not limited to, a major dispute, breach, default, litigation, or naming the Federal Government as a party to litigation or a legal disagreement in any forum for any reason.

Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 60 of 133
3) The Contractor further agrees to include the above clause in each subcontract, at every tier, financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by the FTA.

Public Policy
A contractor must comply with the public policies of the Federal Government and state, local government, or tribal government. This includes, among other things, past and current compliance with the:
a. Equal opportunity and nondiscrimination laws
b. Five affirmative steps described at 2 C.F.R. § 200.321(b) for all subcontracting under contracts supported by FEMA financial assistance; and FEMA Procurement Guidance June 21, 2016 Page IV- 7 c. Applicable prevailing wage laws, regulations, and executive orders Affirmative Steps
For any subcontracting opportunities, Contractor must take the following Affirmative steps:

1. Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women's business enterprises on solicitation lists;

2. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;

3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises;

4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises; and

5. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce.

Prevailing Wage Requirements
When applicable, the awarded Contractor (s) and any and all subcontractor(s) agree to comply with all laws regarding prevailing wage rates including the Davis-Bacon Act, applicable to this solicitation and/or Participating Public Agencies. The Participating Public Agency shall notify the Contractor of the applicable pricing/prevailing wage rates and must apply any local wage rates requested.

1. CONTRACT REMEDIES
Contracts for more than the federal simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), the dollar amount below which an NFE may purchase property or services using small purchase methods, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018,4 must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms and must provide for sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

1.1 Applicability
This contract provision is required for contracts over the SAT, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018. Although not required for contracts at or below the SAT, FEMA suggests including a remedies provision.

2024056 Page 61 of 133

1.2 Additional Considerations
For FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, recipients must include a penalty clause in all contracts for any AFG-funded vehicle, regardless of dollar amount. In that situation, the contract must include a clause addressing that non-delivery by the contract’s specified date or other vendor nonperformance will require a penalty of no less than $100 per day until such time that the vehicle, compliant with the terms of the contract, has been accepted by the recipient. This penalty clause should, however, account for force majeure or acts of God. AFG recipients should refer to the applicable year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for additional information, which can be accessed at FEMA.gov.

2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND CONVENIENCE
a. Standard. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal entity, including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement.

(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:

Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.

The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.

The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.

Each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The non-Federal entity must report all suspected or reported violations to FEMA. Additionally, in accordance with the regulation, each contractor and subcontractor must furnish each week a statement with respect to the wages paid each of its employees engaged in work covered by the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act and the Davis Bacon Act during the preceding weekly payroll period. The report shall be delivered by the contractor or subcontractor, within seven days after the regular payment date of the payroll period, to a representative of a Federal or State agency in charge at the site of the building or work.

Sample Language. The following provides a sample contract clause:

6. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDSACT
a. Standard. Where applicable (see 40 U.S.C. §§ 3701-3708), all contracts awarded by the non-Federal entity in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. §§ 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 5. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(E). Under 40 U.S.C. § 3702, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. Further, no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous.
b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA contracts awarded by the non- federal entity in excess of $100,000 under grant and cooperative agreement programs that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers. It is applicable to construction work. These requirements do not apply to the purchase of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
c. Suggested Language. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b) provides contract clause language concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. FEMA suggests including the following contract clause:

Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. (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 suchworkweek. (2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(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 (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), 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 (b)(1) of this section, in the sum of $27 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 (b)(1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The Federal agency or loan/grant recipient 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 Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 67 of 133
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
(4) Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses set forth in paragraph (b)(1) through (4) of thissection 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 paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of thissection.

7. RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS MADE UNDER A CONTRACT ORAGREEMENT a. Standard. If the FEMA award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37C.F.R. § 401.2(a) and the non-Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding agreement,” the non- Federal entity must comply with the requirements of 37 C.F.R. Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements), and any implementing regulations issued by FEMA. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(F). b. Applicability. This requirement applies to “funding agreements,” but it DOES NOT apply to the Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program, Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households – Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards under these programs do not meet the definition of “funding agreement.”
c. Funding Agreements Definition. The regulation at 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) defines “funding agreement” as any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into between any Federal agency, other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph.

8. CLEAN AIR ACT AND THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROLACT a. Standard. If applicable, contracts must contain a provision that requires the contractor to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders, or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 7401-7671q.) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387). Violations must be reported to FEMA and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(G).
b. Applicability. This requirement applies to contracts awarded by a non-federal entity of amounts in excess of $150,000 under a federalgrant.
c. Suggested Language. The following provides a sample contract clause.

Clean Air Act

1. The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.

Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 68 of 133

2. The contractor agrees to report each violation to the Participating Public Agency and understands and agrees that the Participating Public Agency will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office.

3. The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided byFEMA.

Federal Water Pollution Control Act

1. The contractor agrees to comply with all applicablestandards, orders, or regulations issued pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.

2. The contractor agrees to report each violation to the Participating Public Agency and understands and agrees that the Participating Public Agency will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office.

3. The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided byFEMA.

9. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
a. Standard. Non-Federal entities and contractors are subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension).
b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.
c. Requirements.
i. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(H); and 2 C.F.R. § 200.213. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.

SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. §180.530. ii. In general, an “excluded” party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a “covered transaction,” to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such Version June 28, 2023
2024056 Page 69 of 133
as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a “covered transaction,” which is any non-procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a “primary” or “secondary” tier. Although “covered transactions” do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non-procurement common rule and DHS’s implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipients.
iii. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services:

1. The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000.

2. The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardlessof amount.

3. The contract is for federally-required auditservices.

4. A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of$25,000.
d. Suggested Language. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified.

Suspension and Debarment
(1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor’s principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995) or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. §180.935).
(2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.
(3) This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon by the Participating Public Agency. If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to the Participating Public Agency, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. (4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, 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.

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns_2006.html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational.

1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).

2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.

3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.

4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.
a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/lpcl.html#12. They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted.
d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.

5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns_2006.html). A sample Certification form is part of this package and the instruction to complete it is included in the Contractor Instructions. NOTE: This section is not applicable to Boards of Education.

This law provides that 10 days prior to the award of such a contract, the contractor shall disclose contributions to:
• any State, county, or municipal committee of a political party • any legislative leadership committee*
• any continuing political committee (a.k.a., political action committee) • any candidate committee of a candidate for, or holder of, an elective office:
o of the public entity awarding the contract
o of that county in which that public entity is located o of another public entity within that county
o or of a legislative district in which that public entity is located or, when the public entity is a county, of any legislative district which includes all or part of the county The disclosure must list reportable contributions to any of the committees that exceed $300 per election cycle that were made during the 12 months prior to award of the contract. See N.J.S.A. 19:44A-8 and 19:44A-16 for more details on reportable contributions.

N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 itemizes the parties from whom contributions must be disclosed when a business entity is not a natural person. This includes the following:
• individuals with an “interest” ownership or control of more than 10% of the profits or assets of a business entity or 10% of the stock in the case of a business entity that is a corporation for profit • all principals, partners, officers, or directors of the business entity or their spouses • any subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity • IRS Code Section 527 New Jersey based organizations, directly or indirectly controlled by the business entity and filing as continuing political committees, (PACs).

When the business entity is a natural person, “a contribution by that person’s spouse or child, residing therewith, shall be deemed to be a contribution by the business entity.” [N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26(b)] The contributor must be listed on the disclosure.

Any business entity that fails to comply with the disclosure provisions shall be subject to a fine imposed by ELEC in an amount to be determined by the Commission which may be based upon the amount that the business entity failed to report.

The enclosed list of agencies is provided to assist the contractor in identifying those public agencies whose elected official and/or candidate campaign committees are affected by the disclosure requirement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to identify the specific committees to which contributions may have been made and need to be disclosed.

The disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement.

The enclosed form, a content-consistent facsimile, or an electronic data file containing the required details (along with a signed cover sheet) may be used as the contractor’s submission and is disclosable to the public under the Open Public Records Act.

The contractor must also complete the attached Stockholder Disclosure Certification. This will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under the law. NOTE: This section does not apply to Board of Education contracts. * N.J.S.A. 19:44A-3(s): “The term "legislative leadership committee" means a committee established, authorized to be established, or designated by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the General Assembly or the Minority Leader of the General Assembly pursuant to section 16 of P.L.1993, c.65 (C.19:44A10.1) for the purpose of receiving contributions and making expenditures.” Version June 28, 2023
