following:
(1) an increase or decrease in the Agreement funding amount;

Conditions.
Attachment 1
1 of 13
Rev. 9/15/2023
4. Deliverables.
The Grantee agrees to render the services or other units of deliverables as set forth in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan.
The services or other units of deliverables shall be delivered in accordance with the schedule and at the pricing outlined
in the Grant Work Plan. Deliverables may be comprised of activities that must be completed prior to Department
making payment on that deliverable. The Grantee agrees to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and all attachments and exhibits incorporated by the Standard Grant Agreement.
5. Performance Measures.
The Grantee warrants that: (1) the services will be performed by qualified personnel; (2) the services will be of the
kind and quality described in the Grant Work Plan; (3) the services will be performed in a professional and
workmanlike manner in accordance with industry standards and practices; (4) the services shall not and do not
knowingly infringe upon the intellectual property rights, or any other proprietary rights, of any third party; and (5) its
employees, subcontractors, and/or subgrantees shall comply with any security and safety requirements and processes,
if provided by Department, for work done at the Project Location(s). The Department reserves the right to investigate
or inspect at any time to determine whether the services or qualifications offered by Grantee meet the Agreement
requirements. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, written acceptance of a particular deliverable
does not foreclose Department's remedies in the event deficiencies in the deliverable cannot be readily measured at
the time of delivery.
6. Acceptance of Deliverables.
a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by Department's Grant Manager
before payment. The Grantee shall work diligently to correct all deficiencies in the deliverable that remain
outstanding, within a reasonable time at Grantee's expense. If Department's Grant Manager does not accept the
deliverables within 30 days of receipt, they will be deemed rejected.
b. Reiection of Deliverables. The Department reserves the right to reject deliverables, as outlined in the Grant
Work Plan, as incomplete, inadequate, or unacceptable due, in whole or in part, to Grantee's lack of satisfactory
performance under the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee's efforts to correct the rejected deliverables will
be at Grantee's sole expense. Failure to fulfill the applicable technical requirements or complete all tasks or
activities in accordance with the Grant Work Plan will result in rejection of the deliverable and the associated
invoice. Payment for the rejected deliverable will not be issued unless the rejected deliverable is made
acceptable to Department in accordance with the Agreement requirements. The Department, at its option, may
allow additional time within which Grantee may remedy the objections noted by Department. The Grantee's
failure to make adequate or acceptable deliverables after a reasonable opportunity to do so shall constitute an
event of default.
7. Financial Consequences for Nonperformance.
a. Withholdine Pavment. In addition to the specific consequences explained in the Grant Work Plan and/or
Special Terms and Conditions, the State of Florida (State) reserves the right to withhold payment when the
Grantee has failed to perform/comply with provisions of this Agreement. None of the financial consequences
for nonperformance in this Agreement as more fully described in the Grant Work Plan shall be considered
penalties.
b. Invoice reduction
If Grantee does not meet a deadline for any deliverable, the Department will reduce the invoice by 1 % for each
day the deadline is missed, unless an extension is approved in writing by the Department.
c. Corrective Action Plan. If Grantee fails to convect all the deficiencies in a rejected deliverable within the specified
timeframe, Department may, in its sole discretion, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP) be
submitted by Grantee to Department. The Department requests that Grantee specify the outstanding deficiencies
in the CAP. All CAPS must be able to be implemented and performed in no more than sixty (60) calendar days.
i. The Grantee shall submit a CAP within ten (10) days of the date of the written request from
Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department's Grant Manager for review and approval.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of a CAP, Department shall notify Grantee in writing whether the
CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, Grantee shall have ten (10) days from
receipt of Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to
obtain Department approval of a CAP as specified above may result in Department's termination of
this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement.
ii. Upon Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, Grantee shall have ten (10) days to
commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by Department
does not relieve Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails
to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, Department shall retain the right to
Attachment 1
2of13
Rev. 9/15/2023
require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by Department or steps taken by Grantee shall preclude Department from
subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement
the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to
Department as requested by Department's Grant Manager.
iii. Failure to respond to a Department request for a CAP or failure to correct a deficiency in the
performance of the Agreement as specified by Department may result in termination of the
Agreement.
8. Payment.
a. Payment Process. Subject to the terms and conditions established by the Agreement, the pricing per deliverable
established by the Grant Work Plan, and the billing procedures established by Department, Department agrees
to pay Grantee for services rendered in accordance with section 215.422, Florida Statutes (F.S.).

paid for but not rendered.
e. Transition of Services Upon Termination, Expiration, or Cancellation of the Agreement. If services provided
under the Agreement are being transitioned to another provider(s), Grantee shall assist in the smooth transition

Work Plan. The Grantee shall not perform any services after Agreement expiration or termination, except as
necessary to complete the transition or continued portion of the Agreement, if any.

Rev. 9/15/2023

exclusive list of events, acts, or omissions, shall constitute events of default:
a. The commitment of any material breach of this Agreement by Grantee, including failure to timely deliver a
material deliverable, failure to perform the minimal level of services required for a deliverable, discontinuance of
the performance of the work, failure to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable time after
notice to do so, or abandonment of the Agreement;
b. The commitment of any material misrepresentation or omission in any materials, or discovery by the Department

The Department may, in its sole discretion, suspend any or all activities under the Agreement, at any time, when it is
in the best interest of the State to do so. The Department shall provide Grantee written notice outlining the particulars
of suspension. Examples of reasons for suspension include, but are not limited to, budgetary constraints, declaration
of emergency, or other such circumstances. After receiving a suspension notice, Grantee shall comply with the notice.
Within 90 days, or any longer period agreed to by the parties, Department shall either: (1) issue a notice authorizing
resumption of work, at which time activity shall resume; or (2) terminate the Agreement. If the Agreement is
terminated after 30 days of suspension, the notice of suspension shall be deemed to satisfy the thirty (30) days' notice
required for a notice of termination for convenience. Suspension of work shall not entitle Grantee to any additional
compensation.
17. Force Majeure.
The Grantee shall not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence
of Grantee or its employees or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts
of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond Grantee's control, or for any of the
foregoing that affect subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to Grantee. In case of
any delay Grantee believes is excusable, Grantee shall notify Department in writing of the delay or potential delay
and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first
arose, if Grantee could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result; or (2) if delay is not reasonably
foreseeable, within five days after the date Grantee first had reason to believe that a delay could result. THE
FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE THE GRANTEE'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, other than for an extension of time, shall be asserted against Department. The Grantee shall not be
entitled to an increase in the Agreement price or payment of any kind from 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 Grantee shall perform at no increased cost, unless Department determines, in its sole
Attachment 1
7of13
Rev. 9/15/2023
discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Agreement to Department, in which case Department
may: (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from Grantee, provided that Grantee grants preferential treatment
to Department with respect to products subjected to allocation; (2) contract with other sources (without recourse to
and by Grantee for the related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the products or services that are the subject
of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Agreement quantity; or (3) terminate Agreement in whole or
in part.
18. Indemnification.
a. The Grantee shall be fully liable for the actions of its agents, employees, partners, or subcontractors and shall
fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Department and its officers, agents, and employees, from suits,
actions, damages, and costs of every name and description arising from or relating to:
i. personal injury and damage to real orpersonal tangible property alleged to be caused in whole or in
part by Grantee, its agents, employees, partners, or subcontractors; provided, however, that Grantee
shall not indemnify for that portion of any loss or damages proximately caused by the negligent act
or omission of Department;
ii. the Grantee's breach of this Agreement or the negligent acts or omissions of Grantee.
b. The Grantee's obligations under the preceding paragraph with respect to any legal action are contingent upon
Department giving Grantee: (1) written notice of any action or threatened action; (2) the opportunity to take over
and settle or defend any such action at Grantee's sole expense; and (3) assistance in defending the action at
Grantee's sole expense. The Grantee shall not be liable for any cost, expense, or compromise incurred or made
by Department in any legal action without Grantee's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
c. Notwithstanding sections a. and b. above, the following is the sole indemnification provision that applies to
Grantees that are governmental entities: Each party hereto agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the
negligent or wrongful acts of its employees and agents. However, nothing contained herein shall constitute a
waiver by either party of its sovereign immunity or the provisions of section 768.28, F.S. Further, nothing herein
shall be construed as consent by a state agency or subdivision of the State to be sued by third parties in any matter
arising out of any contract or this Agreement.
d. No provision in this Agreement shall require Department to hold harmless or indemnify Grantee, insure or assume
liability for Grantee's negligence, waive Department's sovereign immunity under the laws of Florida, or
otherwise impose liability on Department for which it would not otherwise be responsible. Any provision,
implication or suggestion to the contrary is null and void.
19. Limitation of Liability.
The Department's liability for any claim arising from this Agreement is limited to compensatory damages in an amount
no greater than the sum of the unpaid balance of compensation due for goods or services rendered pursuant to and in
compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Such liability is further limited to a cap of $ 100,000.
20. Remedies.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make Grantee liable for force majeure events. Nothing in this
Agreement, including financial consequences for nonperformance, shall limit Department's right to pursue its
remedies for other types of damages under the Agreement, at law or in equity. The Department may, in addition to
other remedies available to it, at law or in equity and upon notice to Grantee, retain such monies from amounts due
Grantee as may be necessary to satisfy any claim for damages, penalties, costs and the like asserted by or against it.
21. Waiver.
The delay or failure by Department to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute
or be deemed a waiver of Department's right thereafter to enforce those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
22. Statutory Notices Relating to Unauthorized Employment and Subcontracts.
a. The Department shall consider the employment by any Grantee of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section
274A(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If Grantee/subcontractor knowingly employs unauthorized
aliens, such violation shall be cause for unilateral cancellation of this Agreement. The Grantee shall be responsible
for including this provision in all subcontracts with private organizations issued as a result of this Agreement.

the default of a subcontractor at any tier, and if the cause of the default is completely beyond the control of both

or services were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time for Grantee to meet the required delivery
schedule.
33. Guarantee of Parent Company.
