whichever is longer.
12. PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
A. The pricing, terms and conditions established under the agreement resulting from this ITB shall be equal to or
better than those offered to other comparable institutions/preferred customers/consortiums, etc. If during the term
of the agreement the supplier offers more favorable terms, conditions or prices to another entity the supplier shall
notify this office to immediately modify the agreement to reflect the more favorable terms, conditions, or prices.
B. The supplier may increase any discount at the time during the term of the resulting agreement. The Associate
Director of Procurement, Nellie Nido, must be notified within 10 calendar days after the changes are in effect.
C. The customer may, in its sole discretion, make an equitable adjustment in the agreement terms or pricing if
pricing or availability of supply is affected by extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace, that is, by
circumstances that satisfy all the following criteria: (1) the volatility is due to causes wholly beyond the supplier's
control, (2) the volatility affects the marketplace or industry, not just the particular supplier source of supply, (3) the
effect on pricing or availability of supply is substantial, and (4) the volatility so affects the supplier that continued
performance of the agreement would result in a substantial loss. The supplier must promptly notify the Associate
Director of Procurement, Nellie Nido, of any manufacturer pricing policy changes that affect the agreement or have
a negative net effect on the acquisition cost.
D. As technology changes, the agreement resulting from this ITB will include any and all new products added to the
manufacturers' product line during the life of the agreement. Therefore, suppliers are requested to submit bids
identifying discounts as specified on the bid sheet. Suppliers awarded any part of this agreement shall provide a
catalog for the manufacturer they are awarded every six months to oir@ucf.edu at the Office of Instructional
Resources. In addition, awarded suppliers will provide the discount rate in all quotations for these products
throughout the duration of this agreement. This requirement is a must and is necessary for transparency in prices.
Discount percentages are to be held firm for the entire agreement term. Customers can at their discretion choose
to accept the price of a new item when calculated using the discount off of MSRP, negotiate the price or receive
quotes from competing suppliers.
13. TRADE-IN: Customers may trade-in equipment when making purchases from the Contract. A trade-in shall be
negotiated between the Customer and the Supplier. Customers are obligated to actively seek current fair market
value when trading equipment, and to keep accurate records of the process. For State agencies, it may be
necessary to provide documentation to the Property Board pursuant to Chapter 273, F.S.
14. INSTALLATION:
Customers will be authorized to negotiate installation with a supplier of a specific product(s) order or issue request
for quotes for installation among the Suppliers that were awarded Lots under this agreement. A formal solicitation
for installation will not be required. All materials used in the installation shall be new and shall be free of defects
that would diminish the appearance of the product or render it structurally or operationally unsound. Suppliers shall
protect the site from damage and shall repair damages or injury caused during installation by Supplier or its
employees or agents. If any alteration, dismantling, excavation, etc., is required to achieve installation, the Supplier
shall promptly restore the structure or site to its original condition. Supplier shall perform installation work so as to
cause the least inconvenience and interference with Customers and with proper consideration of others on site.
Upon completion of the installation, the location and surrounding area of work shall be left clean and in a neat and
unobstructed condition, with everything in satisfactory repair and order.

and/or related data, and that any ITAR or EAR restricted technologies and/or data produced in furtherance of the

any export controlled technologies, related data, or information be intentionally or inadvertently transferred to the
University, its facilities, labs, staff, researchers, employees, officers, agents, servants or students in the performance
of that agreement.
If the Contractor wishes to disclose export controlled technology or technical data to the University, the Contractor
will, prior to disclosing any information, technical data or source code that is subject to export controls under federal
law, notify the University in writing that the material is export controlled and shall identify the controls that apply.
The University shall have the right to decline or limit (a) the receipt of such information and (b) any task requiring

export control, without notice of the applicability of such export control, the University has the right to immediately
terminate the agreement resulting from this ITB, if any. The Contractor understands and agrees that to the extent
the Contractor's personnel have access to work or materials subject to U.S. export controls while on University
property, such personnel will meet all federal export control regulatory requirements or have the appropriate U.S.
government approval.
24. FORCE MAJEURE: No default, delay or failure to perform on the part of UCF or the Supplier shall be considered a

due to causes beyond the Supplier's or UCF's reasonable control including, but not limited to, strikes, lockouts,
actions or inactions of governmental authorities, epidemics, pandemics, wars, embargoes, fires, earthquakes, acts
of God, or default of common carrier. In the event of such default, delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond
the Supplier's or UCF's reasonable control, any dates or times by which the parties are otherwise scheduled to
perform shall be extended automatically for a period of time equal in duration to the time lost by reason of the cause
beyond the reasonable control of the parties.

the Supplier, its employees, its agents or of others under the Supplier's control and supervision. If any part of a
delivery to the University pursuant to an agreement resulting from this ITB, if any, is protected by any patent,
copyright, trademark, other intellectual property right or other right, the Supplier also shall indemnify and hold
harmless the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees and the University's officers, employees, agents and/or
servants from and against any and all liabilities, actions, damages, suits, proceedings and judgments from claims
instituted or recovered against the University by any person or persons whomsoever on account of the University's
