Template-Test and Pilot Program Instructions and Form.pdf

The document outlines instructions for participating in tests and pilot projects involving goods or services provided by vendors at little to no cost to the City. It emphasizes that such projects should not be used to circumvent competitive purchase processes and must adhere to specific requirements, including being at the vendor's sole expense, having appropriate insurance coverage, and not resulting in sole source procurements. The agreement between the vendor and the City includes details on project goals, timelines, responsibilities, and insurance obligations. Additionally, the document specifies detailed insurance requirements for vendors, including general and specific coverage requirements, endorsements, and the need to provide a Certificate of Insurance to the City. The City reserves the right to review and adjust insurance coverage as necessary during the project period.
