order to bring the bid within the amount of available funds. NOTE: Firm Contract: A written University Purchase Order
mailed, or otherwise furnished, to the successful bidder within the time of acceptance specified in the Invitation for Bid results in
a binding contract that requires the contractor to furnish the commodities or services as stated on the purchase order which will
reference the original Invitation for Bid documents and number. Vendor is to immediately initiate action to comply with the
requirements of the purchase order, which by reference will incorporate all the requirements contained in the original Invitation
for Bid. Term Contracts: A Contract Award will be issued to the successful bidder. It results in a binding obligation of the
item(s) or service(s) for specific pricing and time frame without further action, at that time, by either party. The Contract Award
does not authorize any shipment(s) or service(s) to be provided. Shipment (s) of commodities, or the providing of service (s),
related to a "term contract" is only authorized by the receipt of a University Purchase Order, by the Contractor, that will list the
actual requirement, pricing, and delivery location and contract number.

time the contract will be in effect for each individual contract.
16. DELIVERY ON CONTRACTS: The Invitation for Bid, Contract Award and/or Purchase Order will state the
number of days to place a commodity, equipment and/or service in the designated location under normal conditions. If the
Contractor cannot meet the stated delivery, alternate delivery schedules may become a factor in an award. The UCA Purchasing

University reserves the right to procure the items elsewhere and any additional cost will be borne by the Contractor.
17. DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS: No substitutions or cancellations are permitted without prior written approval
of the UCA Purchasing Department. Delivery shall be made during the normal University work hours of 8:00 am to 4:30 pm CT,
unless prior approval for other delivery time(s) has been obtained for the UCA Purchasing Department. Packing memoranda
shall be enclosed with each shipment.
18. DEFAULT: All commodities furnished will be subject to inspection and acceptance of the University after
delivery. Backorders, default in promised delivery, or failure to meet the original specifications of the order will authorize the
UCA Purchasing Department to cancel the contract, or any portion(s) of it, and procure the commodities, equipment and/or
services elsewhere and charge the full increase in expense, if any, to the defaulting contractor. Consistent failure to meet delivery
dates/requirements may cause removal from the vendor listing or suspension of eligibility for any award.
19. VARIATION IN QUANITY: The University assumes no liability for commodities produced, processed or
shipped in excess of the amount specified on University contracts.

the duties there under delegable by either party without the written consent of both parties of the original agreed upon contract.
24. LACK OF FUNDS: The University may cancel any contract to the extent funds are no longer legally available
for expenditures under the contract. The University will return any delivered but unpaid for commodities in normal conditions to
the contractor. If the University is unable to return the commodities in a normal condition, and there are no funds legally
available to pay for the commodities, the contractor may file a claim with the Arkansas Claims Commission for the actual
expense.
25. DISCRIMINATION: In order to comply with the provisions of Act 54 of 1977, as amended, relating to unfair
employ practices, the bidder/contractor agrees as follows: (a) the bidder/contractor will not discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, sex, color, age, religion, disability, or national origin; (b) in all solicitations or
advertisements for employees, the bidder/contractor will state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration without
regard to race, color, sex, age, religion, disability, or national origin; (c) the bidder/contractor will furnish such relevant
information and reports as requested by the Human Resources Commission for the purpose of determining compliance with the
statute; (d) failure of the bidder/contractor to comply with the statute, rules and regulations promulgated there under and this
nondiscrimination clause shall be deemed a breach of contract and it may be cancelled, terminated or suspended in whole or part;

(e) The bidder/contractor will include the provision of items (a) through (d) in every subcontract so that such provisions will be
binding upon such subcontractors or vendor.
26. ETHICS: It shall be a breach of ethical standards for a person to be retained, or to retain a person, to solicit or
secure a University/State of Arkansas contract upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage or
contingent fee, except for retention of bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial selling agencies maintained by
the contractor for the purpose of securing business. Any violation of this ethics statement can result in the cancellation of any
contract with the University.
27. CONTRACT AND GRANT DISCLOSURE AND CERTIFICATION: Any contract, or amendment to any
contract, executed by the University of Central Arkansas which exceeds $25,000 shall require the contractor to disclose
information as required under the terms of Executive Order 98-04 and the regulations pursuant thereto. Failure of any person or
entity to disclose or the violation of any rule, regulation or policy promulgated by the Department of Finance and Administration
pursuant to this order shall be considered a material breach of the terms of the contract. The material breach of the terms shall
subject the party failing to disclose, or in violation, to all legal remedies available to the University under the provisions of
existing law. The attached Contract and Grant Disclosure and Certification Form (F-1 and F-2) shall be used for the disclosure
purpose. No contract or amendment to any existing contract will be approved until the contractor completes and returns the
disclosure form.
28. ANTITRUST: As part of the consideration for entering into any contract pursuant to an Invitation for Bid, the
bidder named on the Invitation for Bid, acting herein by the authorized individual, its duly authorized agent, hereby assigns, sells
and transfers to the University/State of Arkansas all rights, title and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under the
antitrust laws of the United States or the State of Arkansas for price fixing, which causes of action have accrued prior to the date
of the assignment and which relates solely to the particular goods or services purchased or produced by this State pursuant to any
resulting contract with this University.
29. ARKANSAS TECHNOLOGY ACCESS CLAUSE: The vendor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be
expended in connection with the purchase of information technology unless that system meets certain statutory requirements in
accordance with State of Arkansas technology policy standards relating to accessibility by persons with visual impairments.
Accordingly, the vendor represents and warrants to UCA that the technology provided to UCA for purchase is capable, either by
virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of (1) providing
equivalent access for effective use by both visual and non-visual means; (2) presenting information, including prompts used for
interactive communications, in formats intended for non-visual use; and (3) being integrated into networks for obtaining,
retrieving, and disseminating information used by individuals who are not blind or visually impaired. For purposes of this
paragraph, the phrase "equivalent access" means a substantially similar ability to communicate with or make use of the
technology, either directly by features incorporated within the technology or by other reasonable means such as assisting devices
or services which would constitute reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state or
federal laws. Examples of methods by which equivalent access may be provided include, but are not limited to, keyboard
alternatives to mouse commands and other means of navigating graphical displays, and customizable display appearance. If
requested, the vendor must provide a detailed plan for making this purchase accessible and/or a validation of concept
demonstration.
30. CANCELLATION: Either party may cancel any contract or item award, for cause, by giving a thirty (30) day
notice of intent to cancel. Cause for the University to cancel will include, but is not limited to, cost exceeding current market
prices for comparable purchases, request for increase in prices during the period of the contract, or failure to perform to contract
conditions. The contractor will be required to honor all purchase orders that were prepared and dated prior to the date of
expiration, or cancellation. Cancellation by the University does not relieve the contractor of any liability arising out of a default
or nonperformance. If a contract is cancelled due to a request for increases in pricing, or failure to perform, that contractor will
be removed from the bidders/vendors list for a period up to twenty-four (24) months. Cause for the vendor to cancel a contract
will include, but is not limited to, the item(s) being discontinued and unavailable from the manufacturer or non-payment of
vendor invoices by the University.
31. ALTERATION OF ORIGINAL IFB/RFP DOCUMENT: The original written or electronic language of
the IFB/RFP shall not be changed or altered, except by approved written addendum issued by the UCA Purchasing Department.
This does not eliminate a vendor/contractor from taking exception(s) to these documents, but does clarify that he/she cannot
change the original document's written or electronic language. If a vendor/contractor wishes to make exception(s), to any of the
original language, they must be submitted by the vendor/contractor in separate written or electronic, language in a manner that
clearly explains the exception(s). If a vendor's/contractor's submittal is discovered to contain alterations/changes to the original
written or electronic documents, the vendor's/contractor's response may be declared as "non-responsible" and the response will
not be considered.
32. SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY: Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to waive the sovereign immunity
of the State of Arkansas or any entity thereof, including the University of Central Arkansas.
33. EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS-CERTIFICATION BY BIDDER:
Pursuant to Act 157 of 2007, all bidders must certify prior to award of the contract that they do not employ or contract with any
illegal immigrants (s) in its contract with the state. Bidders shall certify online at www.arkansas.gov/dfa/procurement. The Act is
printed in full on the website and contains all information regarding any penalties and the procedures for certification by
subcontractors.

34. WORK FOR HIRE: All goods, products, software or other items (collectively the "deliverables") under this
agreement shall be and remain the exclusive property of UCA. All right, title and interest in such deliverables shall vest in, and
be the property of, UCA. The parties agree that all deliverables shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law constitute "work for
hire" under the U.S. copyright law, or any other law. Company shall retain its rights in its know-how, concepts, materials and
information developed independently of this agreement. However, with regard to the deliverables paid for by UCA and produced
under this agreement, UCA is hereby granted an exclusive, perpetual license (royalty-free) to use such deliverables in UCA's
business. Company agrees to execute and deliver to UCA any and all instruments, documents or assignments to reflect the
matters set forth in this paragraph.
