Purchase Orders Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Commissioner, no Product is to be delivered or furnished by Contractor until transmittal of an official Purchase Order from the Authorized User. Unless terminated or cancelled pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner, Purchase Orders shall be effective and binding upon the Contractor when placed in the mail or electronically transmitted prior to the termination of the contract period, addressed to the Contractor at the address for receipt of orders set forth in the Contract or in the Contract Award Notification. All Purchase Orders issued pursuant to Contracts let by the Commissioner must bear the appropriate Contract number and, if necessary, required State approvals. As deemed necessary, the Authorized User may confirm pricing and other Product information with the Contractor prior to placement of the Purchase Order. The State reserves the right to require any other information from the Contractor which the State deems necessary in order to complete any Purchase Order placed under the Contract. Unless otherwise specified, all Purchase Orders against Centralized Contracts will be placed by Authorized Users directly with the Contractor and any discrepancy between the terms stated on the vendor’s order form, confirmation or acknowledgment, and the Contract terms shall be resolved in favor of the terms most favorable to the Authorized User. Should an Authorized User add written terms and conditions to the Purchase Order that conflict with the terms and conditions of the Contract, the Contractor has the option of rejecting the Purchase Order within five business days of its receipt but shall first attempt to negotiate the additional written terms and conditions in good faith with the Authorized User, or fulfill the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the above, the Authorized User reserves the right to dispute any discrepancies arising from the presentation of additional terms and conditions with the Contractor. If, with respect to an Agency Specific Contract let by the OGS Commissioner, a Purchase Order is not received by the Contractor within two weeks after the issuance of a Contract Award Notification, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to request in writing that the appropriate Authorized User forward a Purchase Order. If, thereafter, a Purchase Order is not received within a reasonable period of time, the Contractor shall promptly notify in writing the appropriate purchasing officer in OGS. Failure to timely notify such officer may, in the discretion of the OGS Commissioner and without cost to the State, result in the cancellation of such requirement by the OGS Commissioner with a corresponding reduction in the Contract quantity and price.
Purchase Order A Customer may use purchase orders to buy commodities or contractual services pursuant to the Contract and, if applicable, the Contractor must provide commodities or contractual services pursuant to purchase orders. Purchase orders issued pursuant to the Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than the close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term. The Contractor is required to accept timely purchase orders specifying delivery schedules that extend beyond the Contract term even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the Contract. Purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the Contract shall survive the termination or expiration of the Contract and apply to the Contractor’s performance. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliverables shall not exceed the expiration of the Contract by more than twelve months. Any purchase order terms and conditions conflicting with these Special Contract Conditions shall not become a part of the Contract.
Work Orders If the Contract is for indefinite quantities of Services, as specified in the Signature Document, all Work will be performed in accordance with properly executed Work Orders.
Task Orders A. Some tasks and Services will be assigned to the Consultant through issuance of Task Orders. After the tasks and Services are identified and communicated to the Consultant by Valley Water Project Manager, Consultant will prepare a proposed Task Order (see Standard Consultant Agreement, Appendix Three Task Order Template). The proposed Task must identify the following:
1) Description of the services, including deliverables;
2) The total Not-to-Exceed Fees for Consultant to complete the services, including estimated number of hours per assigned staff to complete the services;
3) Proposed staff that will be assigned to complete the services, including resumes if not previously provided to Valley Water’s Project Manager;
4) Estimated cost of each other direct cost and reimbursable expense, including any applicable fees;
5) Schedule for completing the services; and
6) Copies of applicable state and federal permits required to complete the services, unless previously provided to Valley Water.
B. Consultant agrees that the Not-to-Exceed Fees specified in a proposed Task Order will be the product of a good faith effort in exercising its professional judgment. After an agreement has been reached on the negotiable items, the finalized Task Order will be signed by both Valley Water’s authorized representative referenced in the Standard Consultant Agreement, Appendix One Additional Legal Terms (Appendix One), and Consultant’s authorized representative.
C. Consultant must not commence performance of work or services on a Task Order until it has been approved by Valley Water’s authorized representative and Notice to Proceed has been issued by Valley Water Project Manager. No payment will be made for any services performed prior to approval or after the period of performance of the Task Order. The period of performance for Task Orders will be in accordance with dates specified in the Task Order. No Task Order will be written which extends beyond the expiration date of this Agreement. The total amount payable by Valley Water for an individual Task Order will not exceed the amount agreed to in the Task Order.
Service Orders Service Order shall state the Customer’s minimum committed term of the Services arising thereunder from the date that such Services are made available to the Customer (“Initial Term”); if the Initial Term is not expressly stated in the Service Order, the Initial Term of the Services shall be deemed to be for a twelve (12) month term from the date that the Services are made available to the Customer. Unless a Party notifies the other Party of its intention not to renew the Services at least sixty (60) days prior the end of the Initial Term or then current term (“Term”), the Services shall automatically renew for subsequent twelve (12) month terms under the same terms and conditions except that the Fees may be adjusted to reflect Aptum’s then current pricing for such Services. Cancellation of any Service Order or a particular Service thereunder must be made by way of a cancellation request in writing or through a service ticket in accordance with the applicable Product Terms.
Purchase Order Duration Purchase orders issued pursuant to this State Term Contract must be received by the Contractor no later than close of business on the last day of the Contract’s term to be considered timely. The Contractor is obliged to fill those orders in accordance with the Contract’s terms and conditions. Purchase orders received by the Contractor after close of business on the last day of the State Term Contract’s term shall be considered void. Purchase orders for a one-time performance of contractual services shall be valid through the performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the State Term Contract shall apply to the single delivery/performance, and shall survive the termination of the Contract. Contractors are required to accept purchase orders specifying delivery schedules exceeding the contracted schedule even when such extended delivery will occur after expiration of the State Term Contract. For example, if a state term contract calls for delivery 30 days after receipt of order (ARO), and an order specifies delivery will occur both in excess of 30 days ARO and after expiration of the state term contract, the Contractor will accept the order. However, if the Contractor expressly and in writing notifies the ordering office within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the purchase order that Contractor will not accept the extended delivery terms beyond the expiration of the state term contract, then the purchase order will either be amended in writing by the ordering entity within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the contractor’s notice to reflect the state term contract delivery schedule, or it shall be considered withdrawn. The duration of purchase orders for recurring deliveries of commodities or performance of services shall not exceed the expiration of the State Term Contract by more than twelve months. However, if an extended pricing plan offered in the State Term Contract is selected by the Customer, the Contract terms on pricing plans shall govern the maximum duration of purchase orders reflecting such pricing plans. Timely purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the State Term Contract shall apply to the recurring delivery/performance as provided herein, and shall survive the termination of the Contract. Ordering offices shall not renew a purchase order issued pursuant to a State Term Contract if the underlying contract expires prior to the effective date of the renewal.
Change Orders Any alteration or deviation from the Services mentioned or any other contractual specifications that result in a revision of this Agreement shall be executed and attached to this Agreement as a change order (“Change Order”).
Work Order (s) means a detailed scope of work for a Service required by Transnet, including timeframes, Deliverable, Fees and costs for the supply of the Service to Transnet, which may be appended to this Agreement from time to time.
Forecasts and Purchase Orders (a) Following Regulatory Approval of one of the Initial Products during the term of this Agreement, Reliant shall provide to ASL no later than the first day of the first month of each calendar quarter a non-binding good faith estimate (“Quarterly Forecast”) by quarter of Reliant’s requirements for the Active Ingredient for the calendar quarter and the succeeding three (3) calendar quarters. Reliant will be obligated to purchase 75% of the quantities of API forecasted for the first two (2) succeeding calendar quarters of each Quarterly Forecast. Within (30) days of Regulatory Approval, Reliant shall provide an initial forecast (“Initial Forecast”) for the four calendar quarters following Regulatory Approval.
(b) Reliant shall place binding purchase orders for Active Ingredient by written or electronic purchase order (or by any other means agreed to by the parties) to ASL, which shall be placed at least ninety (90) days prior to desired date of delivery.
(c) ASL shall be obligated to supply Active Ingredient as ordered by Reliant. To the extent purchase orders in any calendar month exceed One Hundred Fifty percent (150%) of the Quarterly Forecast for the relevant quarter, ASL shall use its best efforts to supply 125% of the quantity ordered.
(d) ASL shall maintain minimum inventory levels equal to the binding portion of the then current Quarterly Forecast. The Active Ingredient shall be shipped C.I.F. Duty Unpaid to a Designated Facility or other location agreed by the parties. Active Ingredient shall be shipped upon completion of production in temperature-controlled vehicles in accordance with the specifications including light protecting containers and the Quality Agreement in order to maintain the quality of the Active Ingredient. Carriers selected by ASL must be commercially reputable, able to track shipments and fully insured with adequate coverage to replace the value of the goods shipped. Title and risk of loss pass on delivery to the Designated Facility.
(e) All shipments of Active Ingredient shall be accompanied by a packing slip and a certificate of analysis which describes the Active Ingredient, states the purchase order number, confirms that the Active Ingredient conforms in all ways with the Specifications, the Process Description and was manufactured in accordance with GMP and all other requirements of the Act. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any purchase order, purchase order release, confirmation, acceptance or any similar document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
(f) Reliant shall notify ASL of any short-shipment claims within thirty (30) days of receipt of a shipment of Active Ingredient.
(g) ASL shall not be obligated to accept any returns of Active Ingredient other than as a result of such Active Ingredient failing to meet the Specifications in accordance with Section 2.9(a), was not manufactured in accordance with GMP, or does not otherwise comply with the manufacturing, storage and/or transportation requirements of the Act.
Stop Work Orders A. The JBE may, at any time, by Notice to Contractor, require Contractor to stop all or any part of the Services for a period up to ninety (90) days after the Notice is delivered to Contractor, and for any further period to which the parties may agree (“Stop Work Order”). The Stop Work Order shall be specifically identified as such and shall indicate it is issued under this provision. Upon receipt of the Stop Work Order, Contractor shall immediately comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the Services covered by the Stop Work Order during the period of stoppage. Within ninety (90) days after a Stop Work Order is delivered to Contractor, or within any extension of that period to which the parties shall have agreed, the JBE shall either (i) cancel the Stop Work Order; or (ii) terminate the Services covered by the Stop Work Order as provided for in this Agreement.
B. If a Stop Work Order issued under this provision is canceled or the period of the Stop Work Order or any extension thereof expires, Contractor shall resume the performance of Services. The JBE shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule, the Contract Amount, or both, and the Agreement shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if:
i. The Stop Work Order results in an increase in the time required for, or in Contractor’s cost properly allocable to the performance of any part of this Agreement; and
ii. Contractor requests an equitable adjustment within thirty (30) days after the end of the period of stoppage; however, if the JBE decides the facts justify the action, the JBE may receive and act upon a proposal submitted at any time before final payment under this Agreement.
C. The JBE shall not be liable to Contractor for loss of profits because of a Stop Work Order issued under this provision.
