Contract Form: HACSJ will not execute a contract on the Contractor s form--contract will only be executed on HACSJ form and by submitting a proposal the Contractor agrees to do so (please note that HACSJ reserves the right to amend this form as HACSJ deems necessary). However, HACSJ will consider any contract clauses that the Contractor wishes to include therein and submits in writing a request for HACSJ to do so; but the failure of HACSJ to include such clauses does not give the Contractor the right to refuse to execute HACSJ s contract form. It is the responsibility of each prospective Contractor to notify HACSJ, in writing, prior to submitting a proposal, of any contract clause that he/she is not willing to include in the final executed contract and abide by. HACSJ will consider and respond to such written correspondence, and if the prospective Contractor is not willing to abide by HACSJ's response (decision), then that prospective Contractor shall be deemed ineligible to submit a proposal. Unauthorized Sub-Contracting Prohibited: The Contractor shall not assign any right, nor delegate any duty for the work proposed pursuant to this QSP (including, but not limited to, selling or transferring the contract) without the prior written consent of the CO. Any purported assignment of interest or delegation of duty, without the prior written consent of the CO shall be void and may result in the cancellation of the contract with HACSJ, or may result in the full or partial forfeiture of funds paid to the Contractor as a result of the proposed contract; either as determined by the CO. Right to Negotiate Final Fees: HACSJ shall retain the right to negotiate the amount of fees that are paid to the Contractor, meaning the fees proposed by the top-rated Contractor may, at HACSJ's options, be the basis for the beginning of negotiations. Such negotiations shall begin after HACSJ has chosen a top-rated Contractor. If such negotiations are not, in the opinion of the CO successfully concluded within 5 business days, HACSJ shall retain the right to end such negotiations and begin negotiations with the next-rated Contractor. HACSJ shall also retain the right to negotiate with and make an award to more than one Contractor, as long as such negotiation(s) and/or award(s) are addressed in the above manner (i.e. top-rated first, then next-rated following until a successful negotiation is reached). Selection and Award: Process: If a Purchase Order/Contract is awarded pursuant to this QSP, the procedures shown in Chapter 5 of HUD Procurement Handbook No REV 2 ( s/handbooks/pihh/74608) and within the HACSJ Procurement Policy ( shall be followed.

5 Assignment of Personnel: The HACSJ shall retain the right to demand and receive a change in personnel assigned to the work if the HACSJ believes that such change is in the best interest of the HACSJ and the completion of the contracted work.

Proof of such coverage must be presented to the HACSJ upon request. Contract Service Standards: In performing all services, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and city statutes, ordinances, and regulations. If such compliance is impossible for reasons beyond its control, the Contractor shall immediately notify the HACSJ of that fact and the reasons therefore. Requirements Contract/Task Order Basis: The HACSJ does not at this time know the full extent of the work that the HACSJ will need the successful proposer to perform. The quantities listed in the cost proposal area shall be considered to be calculation factors only. The HACSJ will evaluate each proposer's cost proposal on an equitable basis. Therefore, the proposed contract shall be considered to be a requirements contract (RC) with work ordered on a task order basis. This means that the HACSJ will order work on an as-needed basis, and the successful proposer will provide the work pursuant to the unit costs proposed and/or negotiated. The HACSJ reserves the right to order any quantity of work pursuant to the proposed contract. This means that there shall be no minimum or maximum amount of work that will be ordered, either on an individual order basis or in total. However, any such work ordered will be in conformance with an HACSJ Board-approved budget, a specific not-toexceed (NTE) amount approved by the HACSJ Board of Commissioners and shall not exceed the NTE amount listed on the current contract.
