Common use of For Services Clause in Contracts

For Services. It is expected that, where services can be furnished by multiple sources (e.g. Contractor and/or Resellers), each source may offer different rates for the same service. Rates offered by each multiple source cannot exceed Contractor’s ceiling rate for that type/category. The parties may, upon mutual agreement expressed in the Purchase Order, agree to more advantageous payment or financing schedules. A. Payments - Shall be made in accordance with applicable prompt payment laws of the state and/or political subdivisions. Refer to Appendix B-1, Clauses 61-63. B. NYS Discounted Price - Products or services offered under this Contract are offered at or below the ceiling price set forth in Appendices C & D in effect at the time of order placement. Appendix C pricing includes all applicable documentation, media, shipping and handling charges. (Hereinafter “NYS Discounted Price”.) Unless expressly set forth to the contrary in Appendix D, rates set forth for services shall be deemed inclusive of travel, meals and lodging, wherever applicable. Where travel, meals and lodging are specified in Appendix D over and above the quoted rates, reimbursement to Contractor for such costs shall be subject to the then-current ceiling rates specified by the New York State Comptroller for State employees classified as “management confidential”, which terms and rates are subject to periodic revision. C. GSA Benchmarked Pricing - Where the NYS Discounted Price is based upon Contractor’s approved GSA Supply Schedule: (1) The State is entitled to all associated discounts enumerated in the GSA Supply Schedule (including, but not limited to, discounts for additional sites or volume discounts), as well as any other pricing or discount terms as are expressly enumerated in this Master Agreement, when calculating the NYS Discounted Price; and (2) The GSA pricing set forth in Appendices C and D incorporates an additional sum known as the “Industrial Funding Fee”, currently set by the GSA Administrator at 1% as of January, 1999. This amount is included in the prices set forth in Appendices C and D but is returnable quarterly by the Contractor to GSA, making the net pricing offered by Contractor under GSA actually 1% lower than the total order price calculated in accordance with Appendices C and D. Therefore, the “NYS Discounted Price” shall be calculated as set forth in this section, including all applicable discounts, and then further reduced by 1% to reflect the Industrial Funding Fee percentage.
