ractor means an entity that receives a contract as defined in Contract.
Co
operative 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:

C
onflicts 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 organiz ation 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”) mus t 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.

The Davis -Bacon Act only applies to the emergency Management Preparedness Grant Program, Homeland Security Grant Program, Nonprofit Security Grant Program, Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program, Port Security Grant Program, and Transit Security Grant Program. It does not apply to other FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs, including the Public Assistance Program. b. All prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141-3144 and 3146

d. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under worki ng
c
onditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open mar

“C
ompliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. �����������������
Version January 29, 2021
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one- half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

7. Clean Air Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act . Contracts of amounts in excess of $150,000 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.

“C
lean Air Act

Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non procurement Debarment and Suspension).
c. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are Robertson Recreato
�����������������
Version January 29, 2021
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 Procurement Guidance for Recipients and Subrecipients Under 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Rules):
Supplement to the Public Assistance Procurement Disaster Assistance Team (PDAT) Field Manual Chapter IV, ¶ 6.d, and Appendix C, ¶ 2 [hereinafter PDAT Supplement]. 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; PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV, ¶ 6.d and Appendix C, ¶ 2.
d. 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 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 subrecipient. e. 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, regardless of amount. (3) The contract is for federally required audit services. (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. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified:
“S
uspension 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, its 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 and 2 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 (insert name of subrecipient). 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 availabl e t
o (name of state agency serving as recipient and name of subrecipient), the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspensi on 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 cover ed

71 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 Se rvices 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#1 2 .
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 t
he forms are county- based, they list all legislativ e 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. I
t 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 a t ht
tp://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.

C) Qualification and Experience
i. Provide a brief history of the Offeror, including year it was established and corporate office location.
Robertson was founded in 1991 as a company that focused on the installation of pool decks for both commercial and residential applications. Years later, it has evolved, along side it’s partners, into the largest company in America that provides safety surfacing solutions for Playgrounds and outdoor spaces.
Robertson has included in its offerings a full suite of recreational safety surfacing options and has expanded its reach to cover a nationwide footprint. By growing capacity with regards to sales, installation, and customer service Robertson has cemented themselves as an industry leader in the play surfacing space.
Robertson Recreational Surfaces was the first surfacing company to join the Playcore family, which now includes 6 other surfacing companies. The partnership with Playcore has only helped to boost Robertson’s name and message to even more users that play on and are protected by its safe surfaces.
Robertson’s corporate head quarter is located in Tempe, AZ.
ii. Describe the Offeror’s reputation in the marketplace.
Robertson Recreational Surfaces and its partners are the largest surfacing operation in the United States. We have reached this size due to providing a quality product and customer service to all our users and customers. Our reputation is that of an industry leader who excels not only in terms of sales volume but also service and a commitment to do right by our customers. The growth of our reach has not altered our attention to detail and dedication to satisfying our customers. We continue to do outreach in the architectural world to provide cutting edge products for high design spaces and remain leaders in the world of specifications and details widely used in public solicitations across the country.
�����������������
iii. Describe the Offeror’s Reputation of products and services in the marketplace.
The reputation of Robertson product in the marketplace is evident in how commonly it is used as the driver of specifications in public bids. Schools, municipalities, architects and engineers continue to request Robertson’s surfacing products when building RFP’s across the country. Customers are satisfied not only with the product itself with the longevity of it and continue to request us as their recreational surfacing solutions.
Robertson’s commitment to excellent service can also be seen in our multi-year agreements entered with various cities and school districts. While some focus on new builds, others are contracts to maintain an uphold parks and school play spaces for years on end, trusting Robertson and our installers to continue keeping their spaces safe and aesthetically pleasing for the length of those contracts.
iv. Describe the Offeror’s experience and qualifications of key employees.
Robertson’s excellence comes from the experience and knowledge of our staff.
Across all divisions of Robertson – sales, manufacturing, installation, marketing, accounting, human resources, etc – you will find employees who have a passion for their job and a long history of performing it to a high standard.
Our key employees are industry experts with long term experience in the play and recreation market, with the most junior members of our leadership team boasting 5+ years of experience and our most senior 25+ years. The sharing of knowledge and experience is part of our culture as we move to build a team of people that can always serve as resources and subject matter experts to the customers who trust us with their projects.
The knowledge and experience does not stop with our leadership team. We consider every employee vital to our success and continue to make training and best practices a common theme in our organization. Robertson and our partners have made sure to always have employees certified to necessary safety regulatory boards as well as have participation in those boards as well, ensuring we remain with our finger to the pulse of all things recreational surfacing.
v. Describe the Offeror’s experience working with the government sector.
Given the nature of our products and services, the government sector makes up the vast majority our business. Most of our customers are school districts and �����������������
municipalities. We work with the government sector every day, communicating and collaborating continuously to meet their needs. While executing the multiple phases of a project (planning, purchasing, installing, maintaining) we work with government agencies, entities, and employees at every level – teachers, principals, superintendents, maintenance, public works, parks and recreation, administration, accounting, purchasing, and many more.
Our long-term history and daily experience working with the government sector is a driving force for our interest in being a part of cooperative purchasing agreements. We have seen through firsthand experience the tremendous value of a cooperative purchasing agreement to provide schools and cities with not only a quality, vetted, product, but also at a competitive market price.
vi. Describe past litigation, bankruptcy, reorganization, state investigations of entity or current officers and directors.
There are no instances of bankruptcy or investigation to report. Regarding reorganization, Robertson Recreational Surfaces joined the Playcore family in 2007 and is now one of 7 companies under the Playcore umbrella. Throughout the acquisitions of other surfacing entities as sister companies, Robertson has shifted and reorganized however we saw fit in order to always provide our customers with the best products and competitive prices. Whether it was incorporating new employees into our model, changing our sales and installation models, using new research and analysis, or adopting new products or ways to improve our current products, we have always been invested in learning and improvement.
vii. Provide a minimum of 5 customer references relating to the products and services within this RFP. Include entity name, contact name and title, contact phone and email, city, state, years serviced, description of services and annual volume.

""Georgetown Parks and Recreation has been very impressed with the professionalism of Robertson Recreational Surfaces. Lisha has outstanding customer service and willing to work with us through the process. She is extremely knowledgeable about the products and provides answers to any question. The install crew proved to be very experienced and met our deadlines. We have used other installers and their quality of work was not up to Robertson standards. The City of Georgetown takes pride in the creating outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy and Robertson Recreational Surfaces holds those same values. I highly recommend Robertson for your next project."

Customer Reviews
"I have been with the school district for seven years and have established a good working relationship with Tot Turf on our playground surface repair needs. Anytime we have needed repairs performed on our artificial turf or PIP surfaces, Tot Turf has always responded in a reasonable time frame to investigate the problem, send a proposal and make the repair once approved to proceed. They have been highly reliable on all of our needs whether turf or PIP and have replaced a lot of our worn out Turf surfaces over these past seven years as well.
They are a reliable and responsive company to our playground surface safety needs and we will continue to use them in this new year and beyond." Ron Martin
Director of Maintenance, Martin County School District, Stuart, Florida "It is always a pleasure working with {our rep} at Robertson Tot Turf. He is always willing to listen to your needs and responds with professionalism and consideration. He is knowledgeable and diligent, turns over his quotes quickly and he gives a 110% effort to assure that his customers are satisfied from the start of the project to the end. Thanks for all that you do!"
Terri Barber
Northern California Playworks, Inc.
"{Our Rep} has been a very communicative representative for Tot turf throughout these years.
I’ve enjoyed his thorough feedback, short and precise information, and quick responses with such positive energy. In addition, when he was not available right at the time of our inquiry, he assigned his colleagues to contact us which was very helpful. He has also met with us at a playground reviewing the safety rubber condition after years of use and provided us with useful information to remediate the problem. He is one of the best representatives I have encountered so far."

3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Poured in Place Surfacing: Components of the poured in place surfacing shall be mixed on site in a rotating tumbler to ensure components are thoroughly mixed and are in accordance with manufactures recommendations. Installati on of surfacing s hall be seamless up t o 2,000 squa re feet per day. Material shall cover all foundations and fill around all elements penetrating the surface.
B. Attenuation Cushion Layer: Whenever practical, attenuation cushion layer of surfacing material sh all be installed in one continuous pou r on the sam e day of up to 2,000 square feet. When a second pour is required, step the seam (see detail) and fully coat the step of the previous work with polyurethane binder to ensure 100% bond with new work. Apply adhesive in small q uantities so that new attenuation cushion layer can be placed before the adhesive dries.
C. Wear Course: Wear course must be quality peroxide cured TPV granules. wear surface shall be bonded to attenuation cushion layer. If necessary, additi onal primer will be used between the a ttenuation c ushion layer and wear course. Apply adhesive to attenuation cushion layer in small quantities allowing the wear course to be applied before adhesive dries. Surface shall be hand troweled to a smooth, even f inish. Expect continuous and seamless up to 2,000 square feet per day (contact sales representative for seamless in excess of 2,000 square feet). Where seams are required due to color change, size or adverse weather, a step configuration will be constructe d to maintain wear course integrity. The edge of initial pour shall be coated with adhesive and wearing surface mixture shall be immediately applied. Pads with multiple seams are encouraged to include a top coat of urethane before being placed into use. B utt joint seams are not acceptable except for repairs. Under special conditions and with Owners written approval seams may be permitted in same color pad. Consult with Manufacturer for specific applications.
D. Perimeter: For installations over existing conc rete, the perimeter shall be saw cut t o provide a keyway 1” deep x 1” wide, or formed during the pour, with surfacing rolled down into the void. Primer adhesive must be applied to all sides of the void. When connecting to a concrete curb or border, the ins ide vertical edge shall be primed with adhesive and the final 2” of the attenuation cushion layer shall be tapered to allow the wear surface material to be 1.5”– 2” thick where it joins the concrete.
E. Asphalt: When installing over new asphalt, a curb or oth er type of border is recommended aroun d the entire pad to separate the new surface from other ground materials. Primer adhesive must be applied to the inside vertical edge of the border before poured in place surface installation.

d) Value Add
i. Provide any additional information related to products and services Offeror proposes to enhance and add value to the Contract.
Robertson Recreational Surfaces is committed to continuous innovation and improvement of our products and services. We are not satisfied with being the industry leader in play surfacing today, we aim to continue to be in perpetuity. We have detailed in this proposal the value we will bring from a sales and operational capacity, so now we would like to expand on some other benefits of partnering with Robertson and the sister companies we work in conjunction with to bring the best value to our customer base.
We have made vertical integration a strategy at Robertson and our surfacing group a t large to being the value of a streamlined product to all we do business with. By controlling aspects of raw material sourcing as well as installation of products we are able to provide an added layer of quality control to all of the projects we manage. As an added benefit, when appropriate, we have the capability to influence portions of our supply chain to meet deadlines and other needs of customers to a greater extent than an operation that relies on outside channels to function.
The value of an expansive operation does not stop at logistics alone, but also positions us to be a full-service provider, offering a full suite of products and services to serve the recreational surfacing market, as well as other products we are proposing within this solicitation. We provide vast options of surfacing types for play surfacing, including poured-in- place rubber, interlocking tiles, artificial turf, bonded rubber, engineered wood fiber, and rubberized mulch. Outside of these “traditional” options, our ancillary products also serve a number of other customer needs with regards to surfacing including aquatic surfacing options for splash pads and water play areas (as well as equipment for these areas), tennis, pickleball, and basketball resurfacing products, game tiles, and more.
In order to provide the highest quality solutions to any of our customers we are very careful to source high quality raw materials and combine them with quality installation labor to ensure top notch performance. With respect to poured-in-place rubber (the most commonly sold product outside of engineered woof fiber), we elected to install Gezolan EPDM and Rosehill TPV as our wear course rubber as we found these were industry leading raw materials. �����������������
A higher polymer content, better color retention under UV testing, and sole sourcing are a few of the benefits of these rubber options. We also work closely with urethane manufacturers to offer the ideal urethane options given
each project's conditions (humidity, temperature, etc.). This ensures proper curing and longevity of the installed product. Our installation crews are all either employees of Robertson or certified sub-contractors, meaning we have vetted their work prior to assigning them to our projects and to represent our company in the field.
Considering that play is at the heart of what we do, providing safe and compliant products and services is of paramount importance at Robertson. We are not content with just being compliant to regulatory boards, but aim for an Above Compliance position, which is a commitment of all of the companies within our parent company’s umbrella. Our products are certified to IPEMA (International Playground Equipment Manufacturer’s Association), as well as ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). In the past and present, members of our organization have sat in boards and been members of a few of the aforementioned regulatory agencies, showing our commitment to keep our finger on the pulse of safe, responsible play products.
Outside of sales and installation, we also offer extensive warranty and maintenance programs. We want to ensure our users continue to enjoy a quality product as long as possible.
In this section we have included some maintenance guides and service instructions on how to properly manage our installations for maximum longevity.
Please refer to additional documents in this section about the additional values we bring.

About TPV Premium Rubber
Traditional rubber safety surfaces in the past were installed using EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). EPDM is a common generic term that is used for colored rubber. Depending on the manufacture at the time, including those manufactures that are no longer in business today. There was a wide range of products in the market place that ranged from top quality (produced in a plant with rigid quality standards), to those that made a product that were labeled “Just good enough”. These sub standard products had numerous failures, color lot issues, and even pigment releasing. In addition to that, some EPDM rubber granules were often formulated with sulphur, clay fillers, plasticizers and heavy metals such as Zinc. Polymer content had been reduced to as low as to include only 16% of its actual name sake EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer).
American Recycling Center, Inc (our supplier) with a synergy from Rosehill Polymers in the UK has made some strategic decisions to change the quality of colored rubber offerings in North America and to utilize the advancements in technology to do so. And because of that today you will see installs of Rosehill TPV around the globe with such high profile projects listed to it’s credit at the Olympics in London, Russia and Brazil.
This advancement of premium colored rubber has been branded Rosehill TPV. Starting off with no less that 22-24 % polymer, this polymer is essentially a cousin to EPDM in the elastomer arena, and the technology allowed it to fill the quality gap that was missing in safety surface materials. The Rosehill TPV elastomers are the high-performance elastomers that combine the best attributes of vulcanized rubber – such as flexibility and low compression set – with the processing ease of thermoplastics. This process is the solution to the color range issues that have always been an ongoing issue with traditional generic brands EPDM’s.
When comparing colored rubber in the safety surface industry, make sure to clarify the source of their materials. Currently there is only one Rosehill TPV brand that is proprietary and has been tested and proven by top installers of running tracks and playgrounds alike. �����������������

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice:
If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment. First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection).
Inhalation:
Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocket mask, etc). If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to a medical facility.
Skin contact:
Remove material from skin immediately by washing with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while washing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Wash clothing before reuse. An MDI skin decontamination study demonstrated that cleaning very soon after exposure is important, and that a polyglycol-based skin cleanser or corn oil may be more effective than soap and water. Discard items which cannot be decontaminated, including leather articles such as shoes, belts and watchbands. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be available in work area.

Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately available.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11:
Toxicology Information.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to physician: Excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting asthma and other respiratory disorders (e.g. emphysema, bronchitis, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome). Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. May cause asthma-like (reactive airways) symptoms.
Bronchodilators, expectorants, antitussives and corticosteroids may be of help. May cause respiratory sensitization or asthma- like symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants and antitussives may be of help. Treat bronchospasm with inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids. Respiratory symptoms, including pulmonary edema, may be delayed. Persons receiving significant exposure should be observed 24-48 hours for signs of respiratory distress. If you are sensitized to diisocyanates, consult your physician regarding working with other respiratory irritants or sensitizers. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function but will be less effective.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous combustion products:
During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Nitrogen oxides. Isocyanates. Hydrogen cyanide. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Material reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide which can cause pressure buildup and rupture of closed containers.
Elevated temperatures accelerate this reaction. Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Dense smoke is produced when product burns. Electrically ground and bond all equipment.
Advice for firefighters
Fire Fighting Procedures:
Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Water is not recommended but may be applied in large quantities as a fine spray when other extinguishing agents are not available. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and fire-affected zone until fire is out. Contain fire water run- off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS.
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective firefighting clothing (includes firefighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during firefighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant firefighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant sections.

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity:
Products based on diisocyanates like TDI and MDI react with many materials to release heat. The reaction rate increases with temperature as well as with increased contact; these reactions can become violent. Contact is increased by stirring or if the other material acts as a solvent. Products based on diisocyanates such as TDI and MDI are not soluble in water and will sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The reaction forms carbon dioxide gas and a layer of solid polyurea.
Chemical stability:
Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Possibility of hazardous reactions:
Can occur. Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose and generate gas. This can cause pressure build-up and/or rupturing of closed containers. Polymerization can be catalyzed by: Strong bases. Water.
Conditions to avoid:
Exposure to elevated temperatures can cause product to decompose. Generation of gas during decomposition can cause pressure in closed systems. Pressure build-up can be rapid. Avoid moisture. Material reacts slowly with water, releasing carbon dioxide which can cause pressure buildup and rupture of closed containers. Elevated temperatures accelerate this reaction.
Incompatible materials:
Avoid contact with: Acids. Alcohols. Amines. Water. Ammonia. Bases. Metal compounds. Moist air. Strong oxidizers. Products based on diisocyanates like TDI and MDI react with many materials to release heat. The reaction rate increases with temperature as well as with increased contact; these reactions can become violent. Contact is increased by stirring or if the other material acts as a solvent. Products based on diisocyanates such as TDI and MDI are not soluble in water and will sink to the bottom, but react slowly at the interface. The reaction forms carbon dioxide gas and a layer of solid polyurea. Avoid contact with metals such as: Aluminum. Zinc. Brass. Tin. Copper. Galvanized metals. Avoid contact with absorbent materials such as: Moist organic absorbents. Avoid unintended contact with polyols. The reaction of polyols and isocyanates generate heat.
Hazardous decomposition products:
Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials. Gases are released during decomposition.

Sensitization
A component in this mixture has been shown to be a skin sensitizer.
Animal studies have shown that skin contact with isocyanates may play a role in respiratory sensitization.
A component in this mixture may cause an allergic respiratory response.
MDI concentrations below the exposure guidelines may cause allergic respiratory reactions in individuals already sensitized.
Asthma-like symptoms may include coughing, difficult breathing and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Occasionally, breathing difficulties may be life threatening.
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Single Exposure) Contains component(s) which are classified as specific target organ toxicant, single exposure, category 3.
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Repeated Exposure) Tissue injury in the upper respiratory tract and lungs has been observed in laboratory animals after repeated excessive exposures to MDI/polymeric MDI aerosols.
Carcinogenicity
Lung tumors have been observed in laboratory animals exposed to respirable aerosol droplets of MDI/Polymeric MDI (6 mg/m3) for their lifetime. Tumors occurred concurrently with respiratory irritation and lung injury. Current exposure guidelines are expected to protect against these effects reported for MDI.
Teratogenicity
In laboratory animals, MDI/polymeric MDI did not cause birth defects; other fetal effects occurred only at high doses which were toxic to the mother.
Reproductive toxicity
No relevant data found.
Mutagenicity
Genetic toxicity data on MDI are inconclusive. MDI was weakly positive in some in vitro studies; other in vitro studies were negative. Animal mutagenicity studies were predominantly negative.
Aspiration Hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard. No aspiration toxicity classification
COMPONENTS INFLUENCING TOXICOLOGY:
Polymethylenepolyphenyl polyisocyanate, polypropyleneglycol copolymer Acute inhalation toxicity
At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to low volatility. However, certain operations may generate vapor or mist concentrations sufficient to cause respiratory irritation and other adverse effects. Such operations include those in which material is heated, sprayed or otherwise mechanically dispersed such as drumming, venting or pumping. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. May cause pulmonary edema (fluid on lungs). Effects may be delayed. Decreased lung function has been associated with overexposure to isocyanates.
The LC50 has not been determined.

Routine Maintenance Instructions
Poured In Place Surfacing
Because poured-in-place surfacing has many positive inherent features if installed correctly at the proper critical depth for the play equipment, it is important to keep it as near to installation quality as possible. These positive features may include proper, continuous impact attenuation; a level, accessible, firm, stable, and slip-resistant surface; proper porosity or drainage provisions; attractive surface color combinations, patterns and designs; and long-term durability.
The presence of foreign objects and deposits can quickly diminish these qualities.
These include a wide range of items from sand, dirt, and stones; to leaves, tree sap, chewing gum, bird droppings, urine and blood, scuff marks, tar, and common park maintenance products such as gasoline or grease. The longer these items are left on the surfacing, the more damage they cause, so prompt maintenance is important.
The Principal Key to Effective Poured-In-Place Surface Maintenance: Keep Loose Debris Off
Loose debris such as sand, dirt, and small stones on top of unitary surfacing can produce slip hazards. In addition, fine particles can accumulate in porous openings and clog important drainage features of some surfaces, as can matting materials such as leaf litter. These particles can also be abrasive; they accelerate wear and shorten surface life. It is recommended that a regular periodic removal of this loose debris be done. It is best to vacuum porous surfaces to clear the permeable openings as well as removing top litter, but blowing can also be an effective means of achieving this. Dry sweeping or scrubbing will remove the loose litter, but can force more fine particles into porous openings of some surfaces. This should be done at least every two-three weeks, but may be necessary more often if local conditions warrant.
�����������������
Routine Maintenance Instructions (Continued)
Lawn vacuum or blower for porous surfaces or soft-bristle push broom for non-porous surfaces
Disposable rags
Disposable gloves
2 cleaning and rinsing buckets
2 small reusable pump spray containers (for vinegar and hydrogen peroxide)
Aerosol spray cleaner (Formula 409™ has been highly recommended) Orange oil cleaner
Liquid detergent
Powder cleaning compound (Borax™ has been highly recommended) STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate)
White Vinegar (5% acid; available at grocery stores)
Hydrogen Peroxide (3% solution; available at drug stores) Paste or powder cleanser (Goop™ and Bon Ami™ have been highly recommended)
A Basic Routine Maintenance Equipment and Supply Kit for Poured-In-Place Surfaces
Maintenance divisions with several playgrounds that have unitary surfaces may find it useful to establish a standard routine maintenance kit for these areas. Here is a recommended list of equipment and supplies for such a kit:
It is important that the maintenance division obtains the MSDS for each of these chemical products from the manufacturer. Include them in all chemical in-service training and has them on file for future reference. The quantities of these cleaning products will depend upon the amount of unitary surfacing to be maintained.
�����������������
Routine Maintenance Instructions (Continued)
Use the Right Cleaner for Problem Deposits
Elbow grease is always useful, but it helps to use the right cleaner to remove problem deposits or spills on unitary surfacing. For these tough problems, we recommend the following:
Bird Droppings or Other Excrement
Wear disposable gloves. Do not attempt to loosen any dry excrement that is stuck to the surfacing, as this could cause disease-causing fungus in the deposition to become air-borne. Remove any loose excrement. Scrub deposits with dampened Bon Ami™, Borax™ or STPP and then wash with a Borax™ or STPP solution. Soak up residue with disposable rags. Disinfect by spraying hydrogen peroxide on affected area. Let stand for at least two minutes and then spray again with vinegar. Let stand for an additional two minutes. Soak up residue with disposable rags. Double-rinse with clean water. (Do not mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar together. Do not mix these together; spray separately for best results.)
Blood
Wear disposable gloves. Disinfect by spraying hydrogen peroxide on affected area.
Let stand for at least two minutes and then spray again with vinegar. Let stand for an additional two minutes. Soak up residue with disposable rags. Double rinse with clean water.
Chewing Gum
Apply dry ice (regular ice isn’t as effective) to freeze the gum and chip it from the surface and remove it.
�����������������
Routine Maintenance Instructions (Continued)
Gasoline
Wash with a detergent and water. Soak up with disposable rags. Double rinse with clean water.
Grass Stains
Apply orange oil cleaner. Work in and soak up with disposable rags. Double rinse with clean water.
Moss / Algae / Mildew / Mold
Saturate with hydrogen peroxide and let stand for at least five minutes. Repeat using vinegar. Soak up with disposable rags. Double rinse with clean water.
Scuff Marks
Scrub with dampened Bon Ami™, Borax™, or STPP. Double rinse with clean water.
Soda or Juice
Saturate with Formula 407™. Work in and soak up with disposable rags. Then wash with a liquid detergent, Borax™ or STPP solution. Double rinse with clean water.
Tar / Crayon / Lipstick / Tree Sap / Motor Oil / Grease Apply one or more of the following: orange oil cleaner, Goop™, or Formula 407™.
Work in and soak up with disposable rags. Then scrub with dampened Bon Ami™, Borax™ or STPP. Double rinse with clean water.
Urine / Vomit / Nasal Discharge
Wear disposable gloves. Wash with a Borax™ or STPP solution. Soak up residue with disposable rags. Disinfect by spraying on hydrogen peroxide and let stand for at least two minutes, then spraying again with vinegar and let stand for an additional two minutes. (Do not mix these together. Spray separately for best results.) Soak up residue with disposable rags. Double rinse with clean water. �����������������

AVOID HARMFUL SOLVENTS AND CLEANING PRODUCTS
The following are effective cleaning agents but they are not recommended on most unitary safety surfaces. They may be detrimental to the surfacing because, over time, they could break down the polyurethane binding component and may lead to de- plasticization of the EPDM rubber. Most are not environmentally friendly. Some also change the appearance of the cleaned area compared to the rest of the surface, or make the surface very slippery:
The information provided here is condensed from Maintaining Safe Play, the course manual of the new NPSI Playground Maintenance Service Program.
Maintenance for Snow and Ice Conditions
To remove ice or snow, Calcium Chloride is an acceptable solution. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.

Implementation of House Bill 1295
Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295):
In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of the Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016.
The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission’s website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to enforce or interpret House Bill 1295.
Filing Process:
Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission made available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract.
The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission’s filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. This process is known as acknowledging the certificate. The commission will post the acknowledged Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governm ental entity or state agency. The posted acknowledged form does not contain the declaration of signature information provided by the business.
A certificate will stay in the pending state until it is acknowledged by the governmental agency.
Only acknowledged certificates are posted to the commission’s website.

I. SCOPE OF WORK
Region 4 Education Service Center (“Region 4 ESC”) requests proposals from qualified suppliers with the intent to enter into a Contract for Playground and Recreational Surface Products and Services. Region 4 ESC is seeking a provider that has the depth, breadth and quality of resources necessary to complete all phases of the Contract. Awarded Offeror(s) shall deliver products and services under the terms of this agreement. Participating Public Agencies may be seeking to fund products, services, and solutions through capital and operational cost avoidance methods. While this solicitation specifically covers Playground and Recreational Surface Products and Services, each awarded Offeror may offer their complete product and service offering, or balance of line. Region 4 ESC reserves the right to accept or reject any or all balance of line items offered.
Region 4 ESC is an education service center established by the Texas Legislature in 1967 to assist school districts and charter schools in improving efficiencies. Region 4 serves a seven- county area comprised of 47 public school districts and 40 open-enrollment charter schools, representing more than 1.2 million students, 105,000 educators and 1,500 campuses. Through cooperative contracts Region 4 ESC extends the opportunity to operate more efficiently and economically to agencies nationwide through OMNIA Partners (see below).
The Contract is based on the need to provide the economic benefits of volume purchasing and reduction in administrative costs through cooperative purchasing to schools and other members. Although the awarded Offeror(s) may restrict sales to certain public units (for example, state agencies or local government units), any proposal that prohibits sales from being made to public school districts may not be considered. Sales without restriction are preferred. These types of contracts are commonly referred to as being “piggybackable.”
Due to the potential scope of work needed by Participating Public Agencies, awarded Contractor(s) may use unit prices established for the contracts specified by the latest version of the RSMeans Construction Procurement Catalog (Unit Price Book “UPB”) when providing Playground and Recreational Surface Products and Services under a Master Agreement; in such cases, the UPB that may be utilized by an awarded Contractor(s) is incorporated by reference into this RFP. As part of the Products/Pricing section of this RFP, located under the Evaluation Process and Criteria, a national co-efficient for standard and non-standard hours is being requested as it relates to when/if a UPB is being utilized.
NATIONAL CONTRACT
Region 4 ESC, as the Principal Procurement Agency, defined in Appendix D, 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 and higher education entities, non-profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program. Region 4 ESC 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 O MNIA 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 Appendix D, or as otherwise agreed to. Appendix D contains additional information about OMNIA Partners and the cooperative purchasing program.
�����������������
RFP Page 3
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, National IPA and U.S. Communities, our participants now have access to more competitively solicited and publicly awarded cooperative agreements. The lead agency contracting process continues to be the foundation on which we are founded. 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 Supplier, OMNIA Partners provides marketing and administrative support for the Offeror that directly promotes the Offeror’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 Offeror benefits from a contract that generally allows Participating Public Agencies to directly purchase goods and services without the Offeror’s need to respond to additional competitive solicitations. As such, the Offeror must be able to accommodate a nationwide demand for services and to fulfill obligations as a nationwide Offeror and respond to the OMNIA Partners documents (Appendix D).
While no minimum volume is guaranteed to the Contractor, the estimated annual volume of Playground and Recreational Surface Products and Services purchased under the Master Agreement through OMNIA Partners is approximately $50M. This projection is based on the current annual volumes among Region 4 ESC, 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.
SPECIAL OFFERS/PROMOTIONS
In addition to decreasing prices for the balance of the Contract term due to a change in market conditions, Contractor may conduct sales promotions involving price reductions for a specified lesser period. Contractor may offer Participating Agencies compet itive pricing which is lower than the not -to-exceed price set forth herein at any time during the Contract term and such lower pricing shall not be applied as a global price reduction under the Contract.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Contractor shall provide timely and accurate technical advice and sales support to Region 4 ESC staff and Participating Agencies. Contractor shall respond to such requests within one (1) working day after receipt of the request.
PROJECT SCOPE
Playground and Recreational Surface Products and Services could include but is not limited to:

Implementation of House Bill 1295
Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295):
In 2015, the Texas Legislature adopted House Bill 1295, which added section 2252.908 of the Government Code. The law states that a governmental entity or state agency may not enter into certain contracts with a business entity unless the business entity submits a disclosure of interested parties to the governmental entity or state agency at the time the business entity submits the signed contract to the governmental entity or state agency. The law applies only to a contract of a governmental entity or state agency that either (1) requires an action or vote by the governing body of the entity or agency before the contract may be signed or (2) has a value of at least $1 million. The disclosure requirement applies to a contract entered into on or after January 1, 2016.
The Texas Ethics Commission was required to adopt rules necessary to implement that law, prescribe the disclosure of interested parties form, and post a copy of the form on the commission’s website. The commission adopted the Certificate of Interested Parties form (Form 1295) on October 5, 2015. The commission also adopted new rules (Chapter 46) on November 30, 2015, to implement the law. The commission does not have any additional authority to enforce or interpret House Bill 1295.
Filing Process:
Staring on January 1, 2016, the commission made available on its website a new filing application that must be used to file Form 1295. A business entity must use the application to enter the required information on Form 1295 and print a copy of the completed form, which will include a certification of filing that will contain a unique certification number. An authorized agent of the business entity must sign the printed copy of the form. The completed Form 1295 with the certification of filing must be filed with the governmental body or state agency with which the business entity is entering into the contract.
The governmental entity or state agency must notify the commission, using the commission’s filing application, of the receipt of the filed Form 1295 with the certification of filing not later than the 30th day after the date the contract binds all parties to the contract. This process is known as acknowledging the certificate. The commission will post the acknowledged Form 1295 to its website within seven business days after receiving notice from the governm ental entity or state agency. The posted acknowledged form does not contain the declaration of signature information provided by the business.
A certificate will stay in the pending state until it is acknowledged by the governmental agency.
Only acknowledged certificates are posted to the commission’s website.

EXHIBIT A
RESPONSE FOR NATIONAL COOPERATIVE CONTRACT
1.0 Scope of National Cooperative Contract
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Master Agreement or in the Administration Agreement between Supplier and OMNIA Partners.
1.1 Requirement
Region 4 ESC (hereinafter defined and referred to as “Principal Procurement Agency”), on behalf of itself and the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company, a Delaware corporation d/b/a OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (“OMNIA Partners”), is requesting proposals for Playground and Recreational Surface Products and Services. The intent of this Request for Proposal is any contract between Principal Procurement Agency and Supplier resulting from this Request for Proposal ( “Master Agreement”) be made available to other public agencies nationally, including state and local governmental entities, public and private primary, secondary and higher education entities, non- profit entities, and agencies for the public benefit (“Public Agencies”), through OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program. The Principal Procurement Agency has executed a Principal Procurement Agency Certificate with OMNIA Partners, an example of which is included as Exhibit D, and has agreed to pursue the Master Agreement. Use of the Master Ag reement by any Public Agency is preceded by their registration with OMNIA Partners as a Participating Public Agency in OMNIA Partners’ cooperative purchasing program.
Registration with OMNIA Partners as a Participating Public Agency is accomplished by Public Agencies entering into a Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, an example of which is attached as Exhibit C , 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 the Master Intergovernmental Purchasing Cooperative Agreement or as otherwise agreed to. The terms and pricing established in the resulting Master Agreement between the Supplier and the Principal Procurement Agency will be the same as that available to Participating Public Agencies through OMNIA Partners.
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 repre sentatives, shall be liable to Supplier for any acts, liabilities, damages, etc. , incurred by any other Participating Public Agency. Supplier is responsible for knowing the tax laws in each state.
This Exhibit A defines the expectations for qualifying Suppliers based on OMNIA Partners’ requirements to market the resulting Master Agreement nationally to Public Agencies. Each section in this Exhibit A refers to the capabilities, requirements, obligations, and prohibitions of competing Suppliers on a nationa l level in order to serve Participating Public Agencies through OMNIA Partners. �����������������
Version January 29, 2021
These requirements are incorporated into and are considered an integral part of this RFP.
