Title: Historical Data Repository Oracle Software Licensing and Support Services - Purchase Order
Contact: Katherine Gettings 916-746-1865 [email protected]
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of a purchase order with Mythics LLC (dba Mythics VIII LLC) utilizing OMNIA Partners Cooperative Contract No. R240202 for the purchase of Oracle licensing and support services for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition network’s Historical Data Repository of the Environmental Utilities Department. The total cost for the purchase order is $129,496.48. Funding will be provided from the Environmental Utilities Department’s annual operating budgets and will be split 67% Wastewater Operations and 33% Water Operations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a purchase order with Mythics LLC (dba Mythics VIII LLC) utilizing OMNIA Partners Cooperative Contract No. R240202 for the purchase of Oracle licensing and support services for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition network’s Historical Data Repository of the Environmental Utilities Department.
BACKGROUND
One of the Environmental Utilities Department’s (EUD) core responsibilities is to ensure safe and reliable water, wastewater, and recycled water services. Meeting this responsibility includes the utilization of an Historical Data Repository (HDR) with two main areas of focus: information reporting and analysis.
Although the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is the primary mechanism for the automated operation, the HDR system collects data and is used to produce data reports. These reports and data must be maintained for regulatory compliance and reporting, but are also used for predictive and preventative maintenance, and operations optimization. EUD’S HDR system uses Oracle software with support services that require annual renewal.
OMNIA Partners Contract No. R240202 with Mythics LLC was the result of a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicited by Region 4 Education Service Center as the lead agency for “Oracle Products and Services”.
This contract was awarded on January 1, 2025 and expires on December 31, 2027. Mythics LLC provides the negotiated pricing and discounts to maintain the correct Oracle software licensing and support services for the operation of the City's current HDR system.
FISCAL IMPACT
The not-to-exceed cost of the purchase order for FY2025-26 is $129,496.48. Funding will be provided from the Environmental Utilities Department’s annual operating budgets and will be split 67% Wastewater Operations and 33% Water Operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA Statute §21065 and CEQA State Guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378.
The purchase of Oracle Software licensing and support services meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.

O
PEN RECORDS POLICY
All proposals, information and documents submitted are subject to the Public Information Act requirements governed by the State of Texas once a Contract(s) is executed. If an Offeror believes its response, or parts of its response, may be exempted from disclosure, the Offeror must specify page- by-page and line- by-line the parts of the response, which it believes, are exempt and include detailed reasons to substantiate the exemption. Price is not confidential and will not be withheld. Any unmarked information will be considered public information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act.
The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 4 ESC must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the Offeror are not acceptable. Region 4 ESC must comply with the opinions of the OAG. Region 4 ESC assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments on behalf of any Offeror. Offeror is advised to consult with their legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting from this procurement process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other proprietary information.

Requirement #9. Describe customer fulfillment process.
We use NetSuite's ERP and CRM functionality to manage the complete customer lifecycle, from the first contact to billing and ongoing customer support. CRM provides us with customer lifecycle management, from marketing automation, opportunity & order management to customer service.
It gives us a real -time full view of our customers' information, from lead generation and opportunity creation to order proce ssing, support renewal tracking, and ongoing service. ERP handles all our critical back -office operations and financial processes, including accounting, inventory and supply chain, and order management.
Our account managers create account information starting with the initial point of contact. During the initial lead phase, we capture contact information, project overview, and existing product information. As a transaction progresses from a lead to an opportunity, we input itemized Oracle technology information, the scope of any services, pricing, and associated contract fees. Upon receipt of an order, our sales team uploads all relevant documents, including the customer PO, the customer quote, and any necessary Oracle approvals. Once completed, our sales t eam creates a sales order that automatically triggers a notice to Accounting. to review and cut a PO to Oracle and any other third-party service delivery partners.
Once Accounting. reviews and validates, we draft the Mythics PO for Oracle along with an Oracle- required Ordering Document. For non -standard transactions, Sales attaches the Oracle Ordering Document to the opp. Once finalized, NetSuite triggers an automated review process requiring our sales, customer and partner contracts, and, if necessary, ex ecutive management review for accuracy and Oracle order and contract vehicle compliance.
After all reviews and approvals, Accounting. submits the order to Oracle for processing. This event creates an invoice(s) based on the agreed -upon payment terms with the Agency and notifies our finance team. Our Accounting. tracks the receipt of Oracle invoices and pays them based on our agreed payment terms.
Because NetSuite is our lifeblood, we implement the necessary safeguards and incentives to ensure the data we collect is up-to-date, correct, and always available. Further, using NetSuite's ad -hoc reporting capabilities, we generate project -specific and comprehensive performance reports required by the contract.
Requirement #9. Diversity Program Certifications
If there are any diversity programs, provide a copy of their certification.
Mythics has provided the U.S. Small Business Administration certification documents for our top-tier diversity partners with whom we collaborate often, which includes Astute Business Solutions, Concept Plus LLC, GNC Consulting Inc, Project Partners LLC, and Seneca Telecommunications LLC. Should you require additional certifications from any of our other diversity partners identified as part of our Diversity Supplier Program, these can be provided upon request.

Requirement #17. Submit FEIN and Dunn & Bradstreet report.
Mythics’ FEIN # is 54-1987871.
Please find our D&B report beginning on the following page.
Region 4 Education Service Center
RFP 24-02
Oracle Products and Services
06/13/2024
Requirement #31.Current OPN resale rights, specializations Offerors must identify their current OPN Resale Rights, Specializations, and other relevant expertise they hold for all products and services offered through this RFP. In addition, Offerors should identify and validate any product enabling and value-added services they offer in support of the listed Oracle technologies.
Oracle encourages its customers to validate and use OPN qualifications to differentiate its partners when procuring Oracle technology—gaining assurance that their partner of choice has relevant expertise and achieved success with similar customers.
Oracle has replaced its legacy Partner Program with Oracle's Partner Expertise Program. For contextual reference, we'll ex plain why it's vital to OMNIA, how the OMNIA can validate the information, and summarize the qualifications of each Oracle partner eligible to respond to this RFP.
Oracle Partner Expertise Program
Oracle believes its customers need partners that align technology to business value. To help them select the right partner based on their needs, Oracle developed its Oracle Partner Expertise Program, where Oracle validates an OPN member's skills with Oracle technologies and verifies their customer success.
To earn Expertise, OPN members must employ a minimum number of certified sales specialists and/or solutions engineers, have met minimum annual revenue targets, and have a record of positive customer satisfaction with a specific Oracle technology.
Oracle grants resale rights to OPN members as they earn Expertise, which makes earning Expertise a critical success factor for OPN members' go -to-market strategies. Oracle categorizes each Expertise into the following Solution Areas, which helps OPN members differentiate themselves:
▪ Service Expertise: Implement, Deploy, and/or Manage Oracle Cloud Services ▪ Sell Expertise: Resell Oracle Cloud Technology on Behalf of Oracle ▪ Build, Sell, or Service Oracle License and Hardware Products (Service and Sell) For example, an OPN mem ber may qualify for and earn Expertise for Oracle E -Business Suite, Oracle Hyperion, and Oracle Primavera Unifier. Having all three would count as 3 Expertise. All 3 Expertise belong to the Build, Sell, or Service Oracle License and Hardware Products (Sell ) Solution Area.
NOTE: In some instances, Oracle may grant an OPN member opportunity -specific approval to waive the requirement to have Expertise to resell a specific technology. It does not mean that the OPN member has met the Expertise criteria, nor does it imply Oracle will provide any resources to supplement the OPN member's deficiencies. However, due to Oracle's expansive portfolio, it is unrealistic to expect an OPN member to have earned Expertise in every Oracle technology.
Oracle makes it easy for c ustomers to search for and validate any OPN member's Expertise here:https://partner-finder.oracle.com/catalog/
Region 4 Education Service Center
RFP 24-02
Oracle Products and Services
06/13/2024
Each Expertise earned equates to a deep understanding of a specific Oracle technology. Therefore, customers can safely presume that OPN members with more Expertise across more Solution Areas have a broader and deeper knowledge across the Oracle portfolio than those with less.
Mythics’ product enabling and value-added services have been described in detail in our responses to requirement #72 where we describe the full line of products and services offered by supplier as well as our response to requirement #42 where we provide additional information on products and services Mythics proposes to enhance and add value to the Contract.

Requirement # 32. List and describe the Offeror's current number of OPN Resale Rights and Specializations, as well as any other relevant OPN qualifications.
Oracle replaced its legacy Partner Program with Oracle's Partner Expertise Program. Mythics has provided the itemized list of our 77 current number of OPN Resale Rights and Specialization, now referred to by Oracle as Sell and Service Expertise, below.
A summary of the Sell and Service Categories and Mythics’ total Expertise earned in these categories can be found immediately below:

Requirement #42. Value-Add
Mythics is much more than a simple Oracle fulfillment partner. Our entire business model focuses on selling Oracle technology and services to the public sector. Our existence depends on our ability to sustain and increase our Oracle competencies and maximize our customer's value in obtaining and using Oracle products. This commitment has propelled us to become the Oracle experts, enabling us to provide substantial value to both the contract itself and its users.
At Mythics, we recognize the impossibility of mastering every aspect of technology, which is why we've dedicated ourselves to specializing in Oracle, becoming unrivaled experts in the field. This commitment has led us to invest substantially in internal resources and offerings tailored to benefit our clients.

Patching fixes mi stakes or errors in the code of our technology. Often this requires installing updates to fix the vulnerabilities, but managing this in a large organization can be difficult. Modern environments consist of many assets that require regular maintenance and patching updates. With that, Mythics created our Patch Management as a Service which is a subscription model that gives customers flexibility and assurance that their systems are updated. We plan patch application with you, and then work within your change management process (or provide our own) to apply patches at times that are convenient with you. During the process, we keep you up -to-date with the latest status and notifications through our portal, provide testing capabilities, and ensure that systems function properly. The portal allows our customers to easily engage to request new patching or view their patch management roadmap and plan. Progress is tracked and kept up to date in our portal, and notifications are proactively sent as we work through the patch plans and roadmaps.
This flexible service allows you to choose the support you need to fit your organization’s needs best. As part of the engagement, we will provide you with a change management plan and schedule that includes patching details, scope, deliverables, and execution plan.

Region 4 Support/AAR Reduction
On-premise Oracle support is calculated at 22% of net license fees for software support and 12% of net hardware fees for the first year. In subsequent years, Oracle Support Renewal pricing is set to increase per Oracle’s standard Annual Adjustment Rate (AAR) each year. Oracle’s current AAR is set at an 8% increase over prior year’s fees. Mythics sought and obtained approvals to set the AAR for support renewals purchased against the Region 4 contract at a 4% increase, for the term of the contract , should Mythics be an awardee. This is a great value add and considerable cost savings for Region 4 customers which should further drive business through this contract.
Mythics License Orchestrator - Asset Management Portal
Mythics can help customers optimize their assets by managing the deployment of Oracle technologies. We have developed a web -based platform called Mythics License Orchestrator (MLO) to manage, track, and report Oracle ass et inventories, spare pools, support contracts, and other user-defined Oracle asset management requirements. Upon request, Mythics can provide customers access to a private, customizable instance of MLO—the same web-based solution used by the United States Department of Homeland Security, the United States Air Force, the Defense Information Systems Agency, among many others— to manage their enterprise-wide procurement and deployment of Oracle software licenses, cloud subscriptions, support renewals and consulting services through a single, easy-to-use portal.

Mythics Ongoing Consultation and Guidance Support
Since we employ so many certified staff, we have ample in -house resources and expertise to shorten the sales cycle to help the customer, Oracle, and Mythics reach their respective goals in less time. We provide ongoing consultation and support to help customers better:
• Manage their volume or enterprise license agreements. We assess previous, existing, and potential Oracle usage before any software, hardware, or cloud purchase and support renewal to make recommendations that optimize our customer's investment in Oracle. Especially in the case of cloud, we also analyze customers' spend on competing technologies to identify other potential savings and develop business cases to justify moving to the Oracle platform. • Leverage their existing and potential usage to maximize value and working with Oracle to obtain the best quote on high volume purchases. The key to obtaining better discounts is authoring better approvals for discounts that Oracle will likely consider. We have an entire team dedicated and experienced in authoring business cases and a long history of earning such approvals. VARs that do not have this capability simply cannot influence heavy Oracle discounts.
• Use historical purchase information to provide targeted assistance . As Mythics’ in the incumbent contractor, we have access to historical information, which is a significant benefit in providing targeted assistance.
• Realize investment’s full benefit through support, training, and professional services.
Because Oracle technology is so tightly integrated with our customer's missions and objectives, obtaining the right level of Oracle support and training is critical to their success.
We are also one of only six (6) OPN partners eligible to sell support to public sector customers.
This is why we have an entire team dedicated to meeting our customer's support and training requirements.
• Educate through Webinars, Events, and Blogs. We are constantly developing webinars promoting how to best utilize Oracle technologies.
• Determine the Best Use of Oracle Technologies. We see the distinct challenges and constraints put upon our public sector customers. We help them realize the benefits of applying Oracle technology to their unique IT requirements. • Understand their Oracle IT Asset Usage. We advise customers to maintain a complete list of all applications and programs in use (for those choosing to utilize M ythics’ License Orchestrator (MLO) , this functionality is built into the portal). We also recommend fully document the details of their hardware environment as changes to the environment could adversely impact licensing levels. For instance, common mistakes include installing unlicensed software or assuming Oracle has granted the re-distribution of licenses to another subordinate organization. For user-based licensing, we recommend having a process in place that accurately tracks users from the first time they access an Oracle-based system to the time they leave the organization.
• Implement IT Asset Tracking and Rev iew Processes. While our public sector customers have made significant strides and realized the tremendous cost benefits of strategic sourcing, they still struggle to manage their IT assets, specifically their Oracle portfolios. This is why

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.
Version March 19, 2024
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.
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
Version March 19, 2024
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.
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.
339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity, and implementing regulations at 41 C.F.R. Part 60 (Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor). See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(C).
b. Key Definitions.
i. Federally Assisted Construction Contract. The regulation at 41 C.F.R. § 60-
1.3 defines a “federally assisted construction contract” as any agreement or modification thereof between any applicant and a person for construction work which is paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the Government or borrowed on the credit of the Government pursuant to any Federal program involving a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or undertaken pursuant to any Federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or any application or modification thereof approved by the Government for a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee under which the applicant itself participates in the construction work.
Version March 19, 2024
ii. Construction Work. The regulation at 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.3 defines “construction work” as the construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension, demolition or repair of buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements to real property, including facilities providing utility services.

c. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.
d. Required Language. The regulation at 41 C.F.R. Part 60-1.4(b) requires the insertion of the following contract clause.
During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(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. (5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
Version March 19, 2024
(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders. (7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. (8) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. 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
Version March 19, 2024
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.

Part 3 (Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States). The Copeland Anti- Kickback Act provides that 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.

5. COPELAND ANTI-KICKBACK ACT
a. Standard. Recipient and subrecipient contracts must include a provision for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all contracts for construction or repair work above $2,000 in situations where the Davis-Bacon Act also applies. It DOES NOT apply to the FEMA Public Assistance Program.
c. Requirements. If applicable, the non- federal entity must include a provision for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 3 (Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States). 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.

a. Contractor. The contractor shall comply with 18 U.S.C. § 874, 40 U.S.C. § 3145, and the requirements of 29 C.F.R. pt. 3 as may be applicable, which are incorporated by reference into this contract.
b. Subcontracts. The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clause above and such other clauses as FEMA may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts.
The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of these contract clauses.
c. Breach. A breach of the contract clauses above may be grounds for
Version March 19, 2024
termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 C.F.R. §5.12.”
6. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT
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 such workweek.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages.

7. RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS MADE UNDER A CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT
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 CONTROL ACT
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
Version March 19, 2024
amounts in excess of $150,000 under a federal grant.
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.
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 by FEMA.
Federal Water Pollution Control Act
1. The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, 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 by FEMA.
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
Version March 19, 2024
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 as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there i s 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, 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. 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
Version March 19, 2024
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.

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 Polit ical 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 a warded 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 a n ap
propriate 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, an d
v
arious 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 a n
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 i
n 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 i

A
ny 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 disclosed information may exceed the minimum requirement.
T
he 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.
T
he contractor must also complete the attached Stockholder Disclosure Certification. This will assist the agency in meeting its obligations under the law.

Article IV – Confidentiality, Indemnity and Limitation of Liability
1. Confidentiality. In performing consulting services under this Agreement, Mythics may be exposed to and will be required to use certain “Confidential Information” (as hereinafter defined) of the Client. Mythics agrees that Mythics will not, and Mythics’ employees, agents or representatives will not, use, directly or indirectly, such Confidential Information for the benefit of any person, entity or organization other than the Client, or disclose such Confidential Information without the written authorization of the President of the Client, either during or after the term of this Agreement, for as long as such information retains the characteristics of Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means information, not generally known, and proprietary to the Client or to a third party for whom the Client is performing work, including, without limitation, information concerning any patents or trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes, formulae, source codes, plans, devices or material, research and development, proprietary software, analysis, techniques, materials or designs (whether or not patented or patentable), directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the business of the Client, any vendor names, client and supplier lists, databases, management systems and sales and marketing plans of the Client, any confidential secret development or research work of the Client, or any other confidential information or proprietary aspects of the business of the Client. All information which Mythics acquires or becomes acquainted with during the period of this Agreement, whether developed by Mythics or by others, which Mythics has a reasonable basis to believe to be Confidential Information, or which is treated by the Client as being Confidential Information, shall be presumed to be Confidential Information.
2. Indemnification. Mythics covenants to fully indemnify, save and hold harmless Client, its officers, employees, and agents ("Indemnitees") against all liability, damage, loss, claims, demands and actions brought by a third party of any kind on account of 1) personal injuries (including, without limiting the foregoing, workers' compensation and death claims), or 2) property loss or damage of any kind, which arise out of or are in any manner connected with, or are claimed to arise out of or be in any manner connected with services or products provided by Mythics under this agreement which may be attributed to neglige nce or willful misconduct by Mythics.
In the event an indemnifiable event arises, the Indemnitee shall do the following:
a. Notifies Mythics promptly in writing, as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after the Indemnitee receives notice the claim, (or sooner if required by applicable law); b. gives the Mythics sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and c. gives the Mythics the information, authority, and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.
If the aforementioned requirements are not met, and such action or inaction on the part of the Indemnitee unreasonably hinders or harms Mythics’ ability to adequately defend against such claims, Mythics shall be alleviated from its indemnification obligations and the Indemnitee(s) shall have waived there right to seek such Indemnification. Client may, at any time and for any reason, elect to retain counsel and participate in the defense at its own expense.
3. Intellectual Property Indemnification. If a third party makes a claim against you (“Recipient”), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material (“Material”) furnished by Mythics (“Provider”), and used by the Recipient infringes its intellectual property rights, the Provide r, at its sole cost and expense, will defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider if the Recipient does the following:
a. Notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice the claim, (or sooner if required by applicable law);
b. gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and c. gives the Provider the information, authority, and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.
If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s inte llectual property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non -infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for it and any unused, prepaid technical support fees you have paid for the license. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient alters the
Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider's user documentation or if the Recipient uses a version of the Materials which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was provided to the Recipient. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Provider. Mythics will not indemnify you to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or services not provided by Mythics. Mythics will not indemnify you for infringement caused by your actions against any third party if the program(s) as delivered to you and used in accordance with the terms of this agreement would not otherwise infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. Mythics will not indemnify you for any claim that is based on: (1) a patent that you were made aware of prior to the effective date of this agreement (pursuant to a claim, demand or notice); or (2) your actions prior to the effective date of this agreement. This section provides the parties' exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.
4. Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INC LUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, OR SAVINGS) INCURRED BY
EITHER PARTY, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT , TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR A VIOLATION OF THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SECTION BELOW, MYTHICS’ TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION
WHATSOEVER, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY CLIENT UNDER THE APPLICABLE STATEMENT OF WORK FROM WHICH SUCH LIABILITY ARISES.
