terms and conditions in this Contract.
2. TERM AND EFFECTIVE DATE
A. Effective Date
This Contract shall not be valid or enforceable until the Effective Date. The State shall not

obligation to pay Contractor for any Work performed or expense incurred before the
Effective Date or after the expiration or sooner termination of this Contract.
B. Initial Term
The Parties’ respective performances under this Contract shall commence on the Contract
Performance Beginning Date shown on the Signature and Cover Pages for this Contract and
shall terminate on the Initial Contract Expiration Date shown on the Signature and Cover

CMS: 154565
Contract Wizard Version 4.05 Page 5 of 28 Revised October 2019
performance under this Contract beyond the Initial Term for a period, or for successive
periods, at the same rates and under the same terms specified in the Contract (each such
period an “Extension Term”). In order to exercise this option, the State shall provide written
notice to Contractor in a form substantially equivalent to §21 “Sample Option Letter.” The
State may include and incorporate a revised budget with the option letter, as long as the
revised budget does not unilaterally change rates or terms specified in the Contract. Except
as stated in §2.D, the total duration of this Contract, including the exercise of any options to
extend, shall not exceed 5 years from its Performance Beginning Date, or the number of
years specified on the Signature and Cover Pages if such number is less than 5 years, absent

D. End of Term Extension
If this Contract approaches the end of its Initial Term, or any Extension Term then in place,
the State, at its discretion, upon written notice to Contractor as provided in §15, may
unilaterally extend such Initial Term or Extension Term for a period not to exceed 2 months
(an “End of Term Extension”), regardless of whether additional Extension Terms are
available or not. The provisions of this Contract in effect when such notice is given shall
remain in effect during the End of Term Extension. The End of Term Extension shall
automatically terminate upon execution of a replacement contract or modification extending
the total term of the Contract.

as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, or Courts. If this Contract ceases to
further the public interest of the State, the State, in its discretion, may terminate this
Contract in whole or in part. A determination that this Contract should be terminated in the
public interest shall not be equivalent to a State right to terminate for convenience. This
subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Contract by the State for breach by
Contractor, which shall be governed by §12.A.i.
i. Method and Content
The State shall notify Contractor of such termination in accordance with §15. The
notice shall specify the effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a
portion of this Contract, and shall include, to the extent practicable, the public interest
justification for the termination.
ii. Obligations and Rights
Upon receipt of a termination notice for termination in the public interest, Contractor
shall be subject to the rights and obligations set forth in §12.A.i.a.
iii. Payments
If the State terminates this Contract in the public interest, the State shall pay
Contractor an amount equal to the percentage of the total reimbursement payable
under this Contract that corresponds to the percentage of Work satisfactorily
completed and accepted, as determined by the State, less payments previously made.
Additionally, if this Contract is less than 60% completed, as determined by the State,
the State may reimburse Contractor for a portion of actual out-of-pocket expenses, not
otherwise reimbursed under this Contract, incurred by Contractor which are directly

CMS: 154565
Contract Wizard Version 4.05 Page 9 of 28 Revised October 2019
b. Contractor shall initiate payment requests by invoice to the State, in a form and
manner approved by the State.
c. The State shall pay each invoice within 45 days following the State’s receipt of

completed by Contractor and previously accepted by the State during the term
that the invoice covers. If the State determines that the amount of any invoice is
not correct, then Contractor shall make all changes necessary to correct that
invoice.
d. The acceptance of an invoice shall not constitute acceptance of any Work
performed or deliverables provided under the Contract.
ii. Interest
Amounts not paid by the State within 45 days of the State’s acceptance of the invoice
shall bear interest on the unpaid balance beginning on the 45th day at the rate of 1%

subsection. No payment subject to a dispute under this subsection shall be due until

amount during the period it is subject to dispute under this subsection.
iv. Available Funds-Contingency-Termination
The State is prohibited by law from making commitments beyond the term of the
current State Fiscal Year. Payment to Contractor beyond the current State Fiscal Year
is contingent on the appropriation and continuing availability of Contract Funds in
any subsequent year (as provided in the Colorado Special Provisions). If federal funds
or funds from any other non-State funds constitute all or some of the Contract Funds
the State’s obligation to pay Contractor shall be contingent upon such non-State
funding continuing to be made available for payment. Payments to be made pursuant
to this Contract shall be made only from Contract Funds, and the State’s liability for
such payments shall be limited to the amount remaining of such Contract Funds. If
State, federal or other funds are not appropriated, or otherwise become unavailable to
fund this Contract, the State may, upon written notice, terminate this Contract, in
whole or in part, without incurring further liability. The State shall, however, remain
obligated to pay for Services and Goods that are delivered and accepted prior to the
effective date of notice of termination, and this termination shall otherwise be treated
as if this Contract were terminated in the public interest as described in §2.E.

If the Signature and Cover Pages for this Contract show that the State has the Option
to Increase or Decrease Maximum Amount, then the State, at its discretion, shall have

accordingly. In order to exercise this option, the State shall provide written notice to
Contractor in a form substantially equivalent to §21 “Sample Option Letter.”
Delivery of Goods and performance of Services shall continue at the same rates and
terms as described in this Contract. The State may include and incorporate a revised
budget with the option letter, as long as the revised budget does not unilaterally
change rates or terms specified in the Contract.

In addition to any reports required pursuant to §17 or pursuant to any other Exhibit, for any
contract having a term longer than 3 months, Contractor shall submit, on a quarterly basis, a
written report specifying progress made for each specified performance measure and

Contract, not later than 5 Business Days following the end of each calendar quarter.

before a court or other administrative decision making body, and such pleading or

obligations under this Contract, Contractor shall, within 5 days after being served, notify
the State of such action and deliver copies of such pleading or document to the State’s
principal representative identified on the Signature and Cover Pages as provided in §15.

by the State, within 20 days following the earlier to occur of Contractor’s decision to
perform Services outside of the State of Colorado or the United States, or its execution of

United States. Such notice shall specify the type of Services to be performed outside the
State of Colorado or the United States and the reason why it is necessary or advantageous to
perform such Services at such location or locations, and such notice shall be a public
record. Knowing failure by Contractor to provide notice to the State under this section shall

the contract in whole or in part and/or other actions by the State as allowed by law as set forth
in this contract.
