requirements of this Request for Proposal, at its sole discretion, and reject any proposals not meeting the intent or
requirements set forth herein. Award(s) shall be made to the responsible Offeror whose proposal is determined in

purpose and intent of any term, condition and/or specification set forth herein.

inspection, except to the extent that the withholding of information is required or permitted by law. Pursuant to
ARS. § 35-214, and 41-1330 et seq., all records relating to the Request for Proposal and contract shall be subject

confidential, a statement advising the procurement officer of this fact shall accompany the submission and

treating the section confidential. Failure of the vendor to appropriately designate confidential information in
this manner will relieve the City of any obligation to protect this information as confidential.

B. The information identified by the person as confidential shall not be disclosed until the Procurement Office

Cc. If the City determines to disclose the information, the Offeror shall be informed in writing of such

agreement of the parties, but no cure period may exceed ninety () days. A default notice will be deemed

parties and as a complete and exclusive statement of the Contract unless the signing of a subsequent Contract is
specifically called for in this Request for Proposal. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage

Tempe, Arizona 85280

[Contractor's Name]
[Attn of Offeror Named in Contract]
[Address]
Or to such other address as either party may from time to time furnish in writing to the other by notice hereunder.

No Waiver: No breach of default hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by the City, except by written
instrument to that effect signed by an authorized agent of the City. No waiver of any such breach or default shall
operate as a waiver of any other succeeding or preceding breach or default or as a waiver of that breach or default
after demand by the City for strict performance of this Contract. Acceptance of partial or delinquent payments or
performance shall not constitute the waiver of any right of the City. Acceptance by the City of any materials shall
not bind the City to accept remaining materials, future shipments or deprive the City of the right to return materials
already accepted. Acceptance by the City of delinquent or late delivery shall not constitute a waiver of a later claim
for damages and/or bind the City for future or subsequent deliveries.

Ordering Process: Upon award of a Contract by the Procurement Office, the City may procure the specific material
and/or service awarded by the issuance of a purchase order to the appropriate Contractor. Each purchase order
must cite the correct Contract number. Such purchase order is required for the City to order and the Contractor to

Procurement of Recycled Materials: If the price of recycled material that conforms to specifications is within five
percent (5%) of the lower priced material that is not recycled and the recycled Offeror is otherwise the lowest
responsive and responsible Offeror, the proposal containing recycled material shall be considered more
advantageous; provided the item(s) to be obtained contains at least the minimum amount of recycled content
material as defined in the City’s solicitation and sufficient funds have been budgeted for the purchase.

Provisions by Law: Each and every provision of law and any clause required by law to be in this Contract will be
read and enforced as though it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not
inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon the application of either party the Contract will forthwith be physically
amended to make such insertion or correction.

include a written statement as to the basis for considering the marked pages confidential and the Procurement
Office will review the material and make a determination, pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 39-121, et seg., and 41-151, et seq.
A general statement of confidentiality (boiler plate statement) that is not appropriately referenced to a specific
section of the RFP will not be sufficient to warrant protection by the City. The confidential portion of the submission
must be clearly noted with accompanying justification for treating the section confidential. Failure of the vendor to
appropriately designate confidential information in this manner will relieve the City of any obligation to protect this
information as confidential.

Records: Pursuant to provisions of Title 35, Chapter 1, Article 6 Arizona Revised Statutes §§ 35-214 and 36-215,
Contractor shall retain, and shall contractually require each subcontractor to retain, all books, accounts, reports,

Upon request, a legible copy of any or all such documents shall be produced at the offices of the City Attorney or
Procurement Office.

and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venture, or associate of the other party. The Contractor is an
independent Contractor and shall be solely responsible for any unemployment or disability insurance payments, or

or local law with respect to any compensation paid to the Offeror. An employee or agent of one party shall not be
an employee or agent of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

Rights and Remedies: No provisions of this Request for Proposal or in the proposal shall be construed, expressly
or by implication, as a waiver by the City of any existing or future right and/or remedy available by law in the event
of any claim of default or breach of Contract. The failure of the City to insist upon strict performance of any term or
condition of the Contract or to exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in the Contract, or by
law, shall not release the Contractor from any responsibilities or obligations imposed by the Contract or by law, and
shall not be deemed a waiver of any right of the City to insist upon the strict performance of the Contract.

and Health Standards of the State of Arizona Industrial Commission, the National Electric Code and the National
