  • YEAR CREATED: 2004
  • ENTITY TYPE: State
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: CONT - Contract, Agreement
The document provides information about the requirements and terms for palletization, delivery, and contract performance for a specific commodity (breaded mozzarella cheese sticks) being procured by the State. The contractor is required to palletize the commodity on 48" x 40" GMA pallets with a maximum weight of 2500 pounds and an overall height not exceeding 48". The pallets should have a uniform block and tier, and the containers should be strapped or shrink-wrapped to prevent movement during shipping. The pallets will be returned to the vendors at the time of delivery or as arranged between the contractor and the ordering agency. In case of any discrepancy between the purchase order and the contract, it is the contractor's responsibility to seek clarification from the ordering agency. The document also outlines the consequences of late delivery, non-delivery, contract default, and product deviations. The State reserves the right to charge back administrative and inspection costs to the contractor for contract deviations. If delivery is not received within the established time or the product does not meet specifications, the State may purchase the product from the open market at the contractor's expense or from the next low bidder. The contractor is responsible for reimbursing the State for any additional costs incurred. The document also mentions the assessment of liquidated damages for delays or defaults in delivery, where the contractor will be charged $100 per product per State working day. Non-complying products may be rejected, and the contractor will bear all associated costs. In case of significant delivery delays or contract breaches, the reletting cost will be $250, and the contractor will reimburse the State for this cost and any cost increase under a new contract. The State has the right to deduct any assessments from the contractor's payments or demand prompt payment. The contract can be canceled by the State with a three-month notice after the initial twelve months, and the minimum term of the contract is twelve months. Price escalation is not allowed, but price decreases are permitted. The contract can be renewed for additional periods, not exceeding a total contract term of five years, if mutually agreed. The State can terminate the contract due to non-availability of USDA donated product. In the event of a replacement contract not being issued, the State may unilaterally extend the contract for up to one month, with the same terms and conditions. With the contractor's agreement, the extension can be up to three months. However, the extension will be terminated if the replacement contract is issued in the interim.
