AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the following promises Vendor and County agree as follows: 1. Materials. Vendor agrees to procure and deliver 300 tons of medium road salt material as described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Materials shall be delivered to the Maintenance Service Center (“MSC”) located at 3289 Cooley Mesa Road in Gypsum, CO 81637.

Extension or Modification. Any amendments or modifications shall be in writing signed by both parties. No additional Materials shall be provided by Vendor unless and until Vendor has obtained written authorization and acknowledgement by County for such additional materials in accordance with County’s internal policies. Accordingly, no course of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor verbal change orders, express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Materials, and no claim that County has been unjustly enriched by any Materials, whether or not there is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis of any increase in the compensation payable hereunder. In the event that written authorization and acknowledgment by County for such additional materials is not timely executed and issued in strict accordance with this Agreement, Vendor’s rights with respect to such additional materials shall be deemed waived and such failure shall result in non-payment for such additional materials. 5. Compensation. County shall compensate Vendor for the Materials in a sum computed and payable as set forth in Exhibit A. The compensation under this Agreement shall not exceed $29,850.00. a. Payment will be made for Materials satisfactorily delivered and accepted by County within thirty (30) days of receipt of a proper and accurate invoice from Vendor. All invoices shall include detail regarding the Materials and such other detail as County may reasonably request. b. If, at any time during the term or after termination or expiration of this Agreement, County reasonably determines that any payment made by County to Vendor was improper because the Materials for which payment was made were not provided materially as set forth in this Agreement, then upon written notice of such determination and request for reimbursement from County, Vendor shall forthwith return such payment(s) to County, and County at Vendor’s request will return the Materials to Vendor at no cost to County. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, unexpended funds advanced by County, if any, shall forthwith be returned to County. c. County will not withhold any taxes from monies paid to the Vendor hereunder and Vendor agrees to be solely responsible for the accurate reporting and payment of any taxes related to payments made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. d.
