the 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
be bound by any provision of this Contract before the Effective Date and shall have no
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.

The Parties’ respective performances under this Contract shall commence on the Contract
Performance Beginning Date shown on the Cover Page for this Contract and shall terminate

of this Contract.
c. Extension Terms - State’s Option
The State, at its discretion, shall have the option to extend the performance under this
Contract beyond the Initial Term for a period, or for successive periods, of one year or less
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 the Sample Option Letter attached to this
Contract. The total duration of this Contract, including the exercise of any options to
extend, shall not exceed five years from its Effective Date absent prior approval from the
State Purchasing Director in accordance with the Colorado Procurement Code.
d. Option to Increase or Decrease Statewide Quantity of Service
The Department may increase or decrease the statewide quantity of services described in
the Contract based upon the rates established in the Contract. If the Department exercises
the option, it will provide written notice to Contractor in a form substantially equivalent to

exercised, the provisions of the Option Letter shall become part of and be incorporated into

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
