H. Punch -out Catalog and Electronic Invoicing
The Contractor will be required to provide an MFMP punch -out catalog. The punch -out catalog
provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State of Florida access to products
awarded under the Contract. The punch -out catalog also allows for direct communication
between the MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier's Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system, which can reflect real-time product inventory/availability information.
Through utilization of the punch -out catalog model, a Florida buyer will "punch out" to a
supplier's website. Using the search tools on the supplier's Florida punch -out catalog site, the
user selects the desired products and services. When complete, the user exits the supplier's
punch -out catalog site and the shopping cart (full of products and services) is "brought back" to
MFMP. No orders are sent to a supplier when the user exits the supplier's punch -out catalog
site. Instead, the chosen products and services are "brought back" to MFMP as Contract line

items. The user can then proceed through the normal workflow steps, which may include
adding/editing the products to a requisition or a purchase order. An order is not submitted to a
supplier until the buyer actually adds the line items to a requisition and the purchase order is
approved and sent to the supplier.
At the State's option, the Contractor holds the option to invoice electronically pursuant to
guidelines of the Department of Management Services. Electronic invoices will be submitted to
the agency through the Ariba Network (AN) in one of three mechanisms as listed below. The
Contractors may select the method that best meets their capabilities from the following list:
• cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language)
• This standard establishes the data contents required for invoicing via cXML within
the context of an electronic environment. This transaction set can be used for
invoicing via the Ariba Network (AN) for catalog and non -catalog products and
services. The cXML format is the Ariba preferred method for elnvoicing.
• EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
• This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (810) for
use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This
transaction set can be used for invoicing via the AN, for catalog and non -catalog
products and services.
• PO Flip via AN
• The online process allows suppliers to submit invoices via the AN, for catalog and
non -catalog products and services. Suppliers have the ability to create an invoice
directly from their Inbox in their AN account by simply "flipping" the PO into an
invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical capabilities.
For the purposes of this section, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and
empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third -party provider of MFMP, a State
Contractor, the right and license to use, reproduce, transmit, distribute, and publicly display
within the system the information outlined above. In addition, the Contractor warrants and
represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third -
party provider the right and license to reproduce and display within the system the Contractor's
trademarks, system marks, logos, trade dress, or other branding designation that identifies the
products made available by the Contractor under the Contract.
The Contractor will work with the MFMP management team to obtain specific requirements for
the punch -out catalog and electronic invoicing.

users associated with this contract. The Contractor shall supply to the Department all the

The Contractor will maintain the security of State of Florida data including, but not limited

The Contractor agrees that a violation of items listed above will result in immediate and
irreparable harm to the Customer and will entitle the Customer to a credit as provided in
the Contract documents. This credit is intended only to cover the Customer's internal
staffing and administrative costs as well as the diminished value of services provided
under the Contract and will not preclude the Customer from recovering other damages it
may suffer as a result of such violation. For purposes of determining the damages due
hereunder, a group of violations relating to a common set of operative facts (e.g., same
location, same time period, same off -shore entity) will be treated as a single event. A
violation of this provision will also entitle the Customer to recover any damages arising
from a breach of this section and constitutes an event of default.
The Contractor must notify the Department and the Customer as soon as possible, in
accordance with the requirements of section 501.171, F.S., if applicable, and in all
events within one (1) business day in the event Contractor discovers any data is

(b) The type of information that was subject to the unauthorized access and acquisition.
(c) The type and number of entities who were, or potentially have been affected by the

must set up a conference call with the Department's and the Customer's Contract
Manager. The conference call invitation must contain a brief description of the nature of

SECTION 10. GRATUITIES, LOBBYING, AND COMMUNICATIONS.

give, or agree to give anything of value to anyone as consideration for any State of
Florida officer or employee's decision, opinion, recommendation, vote, other exercise of
discretion, or violation of a known legal duty, or (2) offer, give, or agree to give to anyone
anything of value for the benefit of, or at the direction or request of, any State of Florida
officer or employee.
10.2 Lobbying.
In accordance with sections 11.062 and 216.347, F.S., Contract funds are not for the
purpose of lobbying the Legislature, the judicial branch, or the Department. Pursuant to
subsection 287.058(6), F.S., the Contract does not prohibit the Contractor from lobbying

communications. The Department's written consent shall not be construed to supersede
or waive the Contract requirements imposed on the Contractor to maintain confidential
information.
SECTION 11. CONTRACT MONITORING.
11.1 Performance Standards.
The Contractor agrees to perform all tasks and provide deliverables as set forth in the
Contract. The Department and the Customer will be entitled at all times, upon request, to
be advised as to the status of work being done by the Contractor and of the details
thereof.
11.2 Performance Deficiencies and Financial Consequences of Non -Performance.
In addition to the processes set forth in the Contract (e.g., service level agreements), if
the Department determines that there is a performance deficiency that requires
correction by the Contractor, then the Department will notify the Contractor. The
correction must be made within a time -frame specified by the Department. The
Contractor must provide the Department with a corrective action plan describing how the
Contractor will address all performance deficiencies identified by the Department.
If the corrective action plan is unacceptable to the Department, or implementation of the
plan fails to remedy the performance deficiencies, the Department will retain ten percent
(10%) of the total invoice amount. The retainage will be withheld until the Contractor
resolves the performance deficiencies. If the performance deficiencies are resolved, the
Contractor may invoice the Department for the retained amount. If the Contractor fails to
resolve the performance deficiencies, the retained amount will be forfeited in order to
compensate the Department for the performance deficiencies.
11.3 Liquidated Damages.
The Contractor will promptly notify the Department or the Customer upon becoming
aware of any circumstances that may reasonably be expected to jeopardize the timely
and successful completion (or delivery) of any commodity or contractual service. The
Contractor will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any delays in
performance and will inform the Department or the Customer of the steps the Contractor
is taking or will take to do so, and the projected actual completion (or delivery) time. If
the Contractor believes a delay in performance by the Department or the Customer has
caused or will cause the Contractor to be unable to perform its obligations on time, the
Contractor will promptly so notify the Department and use commercially reasonable
efforts to perform its obligations on time notwithstanding the Department's delay.
The Contractor acknowledges that untimely performance or other material
noncompliance will damage the Department, but by their nature such damages are
difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the liquidated damages provisions stated in the
Contract documents will apply. Liquidated damages are not intended to be a penalty and
are solely intended to compensate for damages.
11.4 Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages for Delay.

STC # 15100000-19-1
Exhibit C
Special Contract Conditions
The Contractor will not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if
neither the fault nor the negligence of the Contractor or its employees or agents
contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to fire, explosion, earthquake,
windstorm, flood, radioactive or toxic chemical hazard, war, military hostilities, terrorism,
civil emergency, embargo, riot, strike, violent civil unrest, or other similar cause wholly
beyond the Contractor's reasonable control, or for any of the foregoing that affect
subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor.
The foregoing does not excuse delay which could have been avoided if the Contractor
implemented any risk mitigation required by the Contract. In case of any delay the
Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor will notify the Department in writing of
the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten (10)
calendar days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if the
Contractor could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result, or (2) if delay is
not reasonably foreseeable, within five (5) calendar days after the date the Contractor
first had reason to believe that a delay could result. The foregoing will constitute the
Contractor's sole remedy or excuse with respect to delay. Providing notice in strict
accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No claim for
damages will be asserted by the Contractor. The Contractor will not be entitled to an
increase in the Contract price or payment of any kind from the Department for direct,
indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not
limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption,
interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or
delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after
the causes have ceased to exist the Contractor will perform at no increased cost, unless
the Department determines, in its sole discretion, that the delay will significantly impair
the value of the Contract to the State of Florida or to Customers, in which case the
Department may (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from the Contractor,
provided that the Contractor grants preferential treatment to Customers with respect to
commodities or contractual services subjected to allocation, or (2) purchase from other
sources (without recourse to and by the Contractor for the related costs and expenses)
to replace all or part of the commodity or contractual services that are the subject of the
delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantity, or (3) terminate the
Contract in whole or in part.
SECTION 12. CONTRACT AUDITS.
12.1 Performance or Compliance Audits.
The Department may conduct or have conducted performance and/or compliance audits
of the Contractor and subcontractors as determined by the Department. The Department

Contractor's fees and claims for payment under the Contract, the Contractor's
agreements or contracts with subcontractors, partners or agents of the Contractor,
pertaining to this Contract, may be inspected by the Department upon fifteen (15)
calendar days' notice, during normal working hours and in accordance with the

SECTION 13. BACKGROUND SCREENING AND SECURITY.
13.1 Background Check.
The Department may require the Contractor and its employees, agents, representatives,
and subcontractors to provide fingerprints and be subject to such background checks as
directed by the Department. The cost of the background checks will be borne by the
Contractor. The Department may require the Contractor to exclude the Contractor's
employees, agents, representatives or subcontractors based on the background check
results. In addition, the Contractor must ensure that all persons have a responsibility to
self -report to the Contractor within three (3) calendar days any arrest for any
disqualifying offense. The Contractor must notify the Contract Manager within twenty-
four (24) hours of all details concerning any reported arrest. The Contractor will ensure
that all background screening will be refreshed upon the request of the Department for

In accordance with Executive Order 11-116, the Contractor agrees to utilize the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility
of all new employees hired during the term of the Contract for the services specified in
the Contract. The Contractor must also include a requirement in subcontracts that the
subcontractor must utilize the E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of all
new employees hired by the subcontractor during the Contract term. In order to
implement this provision, the Contractor must provide a copy of its DHS Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to the Contract Manager within five (5) calendar days of Contract
execution. If the Contractor is not enrolled in DHS E-Verify System, it will do so within
five (5) calendar days of notice of Contract award, and provide the Contract Manager a
copy of its MOU within five (5) calendar days of Contract execution. The link to E-Verify

The following requirements supplement or replace those found in the ITB. The
variations between the new and the old requirements are highlighted in yellow.
1. Section H of Attachment A, Scope of work, is hereby replaced in its entirety as
follows:
H. Punch -out Catalog and Electronic Invoicing
The Contractor wiH be required4o may provide an MFMP punch -out catalog. The punch -
out catalog provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State of Florida
access to products awarded under the Contract. The punch -out catalog also allows for
direct communication between the MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier's
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which can reflect real-time product
inventory/availability information.
Through utilization of the punch -out catalog model, a Florida buyer will "punch out" to a
supplier's website. Using the search tools on the supplier's Florida punch -out catalog
site, the user selects the desired products and services. When complete, the user exits
the supplier's punch -out catalog site and the shopping cart (full of products and
services) is "brought back" to MFMP. No orders are sent to a supplier when the user
exits the supplier's punch -out catalog site. Instead, the chosen products and services
are "brought back" to MFMP as Contract line items. The user can then proceed through
the normal workflow steps, which may include adding/editing the products to a
requisition or a purchase order. An order is not submitted to a supplier until the buyer
actually adds the line items to a requisition and the purchase order is approved and sent
to the supplier. At the State's option, the Contractor holds the option to invoice
electronically pursuant to guidelines of the Department of Management Services.
Electronic invoices will be submitted to the agency through the Ariba Network (AN) in
one of three mechanisms as listed below. The Contractors may select the method that
best meets their capabilities from the following list:
• cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language)
• This standard establishes the data contents required for invoicing via cXML
within the context of an electronic environment. This transaction set can be
used for invoicing via the Ariba Network (AN) for catalog and non -catalog
products and services. The cXML format is the Ariba preferred method for
elnvoicing.
• EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
• This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set
(810) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
environment. This transaction set can be used for invoicing via the AN, for
catalog and non -catalog products and services.
• PO Flip via AN
• The online process allows suppliers to submit invoices via the AN, for catalog
and non -catalog products and services. Suppliers have the ability to create an
invoice directly from their Inbox in their AN account by simply "flipping" the PO
into an invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical
capabilities.

For the purposes of this section, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is
authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third -party provider
of MFMP, a State Contractor, the right and license to use, reproduce, transmit,
distribute, and publicly display within the system the information outlined above. In
addition, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to

logos, trade dress, or other branding designation that identifies the products made
available by the Contractor under the Contract.
The Contractor will work with the MFMP management team to obtain specific
requirements for the punch -out catalog and electronic invoicing.

Page 15 of 17
DocuSign Envelope ID: 97F2BC6E-8C88-4E92-90A4-DE05DEE64FB8
6.1 Transport Delivery
For Transport Delivery bids, the Bidder's Calculated Markup for each fuel type will be calculated
on the Markup Sheet (Attachment J) using the following formula:
(T'x0.54)+(A'x0.06)+(TRx0.36)+(ARx0.04)=Z
Where:
T' = Initial Term Markup
A' = Sum of Initial Term Allowable Charges ("All Delivery Types" and "Transport Delivery Only")
TR = Renewal Term Markup
AR = Sum of Renewal Term Allowable Charges ("All Delivery Types" and "Transport Delivery
Only")
Z = Bidder's Calculated Markup
6.2 Non -Transport Delivery
For Non -Transport Delivery bids, the Bidder's Calculated Markup for each fuel type will be
calculated on the Markup Sheet (Attachment J) using the following formula:
(NI x 0.54) + (BI x 0.06) + (NR x 0.36) + (BR x 0.04) = Z
Where:
NI = Initial Term Markup
BI = Sum of Initial Term Allowable Charges ("All Delivery Types" only)
NR = Renewal Term Markup
BR = Sum of Renewal Term Allowable Charges ("All Delivery Types" only)
Z = Bidder's Calculated Markup
6.3 Preference to Florida Businesses
Pursuant to the requirements of paragraph 287.084(1)(a), F.S., if the lowest responsible and
responsive bid is by a vendor whose principal place of business is in a state or political
subdivision thereof which grants a preference for the purchase of such personal property to a
person whose principal place of business is in such state, the Department will award a
preference to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder having a principal place of business
within Florida, which preference is equal to the preference granted by the state or political
subdivision thereof in which the lowest responsible and responsive bidder has its principal place
of business.
If the lowest bid is submitted by a bidder whose principal place of business is located outside
the state, and that state does not grant a preference in competitive solicitation to vendors having
a principal place of business in that state, the preference to the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder having a principal place of business in this state will be five percent.
A vendor whose principal place of business is outside this state must accompany any written
bid documents with a written opinion of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in that foreign
state, as to the preferences, if any or none, granted by the law of that state to its own business
entities whose principal places of business are in that foreign state in the letting of any or all
public contracts
