This Contract is entered into by and between Contractor named on the Cover Page for this Contract
(the “Contractor”), and the STATE OF COLORADO acting by and through the State agency
named on the Cover Page for this Contract (the “State”). Contractor and the State agree to 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. Th e 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.
B. Initial Term
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
on the Initial Contract Expiration Date shown on the Cover Page for this Contract (the “Initial
Term”) unless sooner terminated or further extended in accordance with the terms 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 §20 “Sample Option Letter.” Except as stated
in §2.D, 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 Chief
Procurement Officer in accordance with the Colorado Procurement Code.
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 §14, may
unilaterally extend such Initial Term or Extension Term for a period not to exceed two 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.
E. Early Termination in the Public Interest
The State is entering into this Contract to serve the public interest of the State of Colorado as
determined by its Governor, General Assembly, or Courts. If this Contract or any Task Order
ceases to further the public interest of the State, the State, in its discretion, may terminate this
Contract or that Task Order 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.

Master Task Order Contract Number: 23 FAA 00016 Page 4 of 28 Version 02.24.2022
i. Method and Content
The State shall notify Contractor of such termination in accordance with §14. The
notice shall specify the effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a
portion of this Contract or a Task Order, and shall include, to the extent practicable, the
public interest justification for the termination. A termination of all or a part of a Task
Order shall not be interpreted to terminate this Contract or any other Task Order.
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 or a Task Order 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 under all terminated Task Orders, 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 attributable to the uncompleted portion of Contractor’s

maximum amount payable to Contractor hereunder.

5. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
A. Maximum Amount
Payments to Contractor are limited to the unpaid, obligated balance of the Contract Funds.
The State shall not pay Contractor any amount under this Contract that exceeds the Contract
Maximum for that State Fiscal Year shown on the Cover Page for this Contract.
B. Payment Procedures
i. Invoices and Payment
a. The State shall pay Contractor in the amounts and in accordance with the
schedule and other conditions set forth in Exhibit C Budget attached to the Task
Order.
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
that invoice, so long as the amount invoiced correctly represents Work 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 this Contract.
ii. Interest
Amounts not paid by the State within 45 days after the State’s acceptance of the invoice
shall bear interest on the unpaid balance beginning on the 45th day at the rate of 1% per
month, as required by §24-30-202(24)(a), C.R.S., until paid in full; provided, however,
that interest shall not accrue on unpaid amounts that the State disputes in writing.
Contractor shall invoice the State separately for accrued interest on delinquent amounts,
and the invoice shall reference the delinquent payment, the number of day’s interest to
be paid and the interest rate.

Contractor shall notify the State in writing of its dispute within 30 days following the
earlier to occur of Contractor’s receipt of the payment or notification of the
determination or calculation of the payment by the State. The State will review the
information presented by Contractor and may make changes to its determination based

payment subject to a dispute under this subsection shall be due until after the State has
DocuSign Envelope ID: 95E30E38-69EB-4293-AB83-D5EC23F73308
Master Task Order Contract Number: 23 FAA 00016 Page 10 of 28 Version 02.24.2022
concluded its review, and the State shall not pay any interest on any 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.
v. Option to Increase Maximum Amount
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 the
option to increase or decrease the statewide quantity of Goods and Services based upon
the rates established in this Contract, and increase the maximum amount payable
accordingly. In order to exercise this option, the State shall provide written notice to
Contractor in a form substantially equivalent to §20 “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.
vi. Option to Increase Rates
In the event the rates shown in the Exhibits are determined by a third party, the State,
at its discretion, shall have the option to increase or decrease the rates shown in the
Exhibits as the State determines is necessary to account for increases or decreases in
the rates. In order to exercise this option, the State shall provide written notice to
Contractor in a form substantially equivalent to §20 “Sample Option Letter,” and any
new rates table or exhibit shall be effective as of the effective date of that notice unless
the notice provides for a different date.
6. REPORTING – NOTIFICATION

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

developed and prescribed by the State. Progress reports shall be submitted to the State not

Contract, Contractor shall, within 10 days after being served, notify the State of such action
and deliver copies of such pleading or document to the State’s principal representative

shall provide written notice to the State, in accordance with §14 and in a form designated by
the State, within 20 days following the earlier to occur of Contractor’s decision to perform

Work and a final review and rating shall be rendered within 30 days of the end of the Contract
