5. Performance Measures. The Grantee warrants that:(1)the services will be performed by qualified personnel; (2)the services will be of the kind and quality described in the Grant Work Plan; (3) the services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with industry standards and practices;(4)the services shall not and do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights, or any other proprietary rights, of any third party; and (5) its employees, subcontractors,and/or subgrantees shall comply with any security and safety requirements and processes,if provided by the Department, for work done at the Project Location(s). The Department reserves the right to investigate or inspect at any time whether the services or qualifications offered by the Grantee meet the Agreement requirements. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary,written acceptance of a particular deliverable/minimum requirement does not foreclose the Department's remedies in the event those performance standards that cannot be readily measured at the time of delivery are not met. 6. Acceptance of Deliverables. a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by the Department's Grant Manager before payment.The Grantee shall work diligently to correct all deficiencies in the deliverable that remain outstanding,within a reasonable time at the Grantee's expense.If the Department's Grant Manager does not accept the deliverables within 30 days of receipt,they will be deemed rejected. b. Re:cction of Deliverables. The Department reserves the right to reject deliverables,as outlined in the Grant Work Plan,as incomplete, inadequate,or unacceptable due,in whole or in part,to the Grantee's lack of satisfactory performance under the terms of this Agreement.The Grantee's efforts to correct the rejected deliverables will be at the Grantee's sole expense.The Grantee shall only invoice the Department for deliverables that are completed in accordance with the Grant Work Plan. Failure to fulfill the applicable technical requirements or complete all tasks or activities in accordance with the Grant Work Plan will result in rejection of the deliverable and the associated invoice. Payment for the rejected deliverable will not be issued unless the rejected deliverable is made acceptable to the Department in accordance with the Agreement requirements. The Department,at its option,may allow additional time within which the Grantee may remedy the objections noted by the Department.The Grantee's failure to make adequate or acceptable said deliverables after a reasonable opportunity to do so may constitute an event of default. 7. Financial Consequences for Nonperformance. a. Withholding Payment. In addition to the specific consequences explained in the Grant Work Plan and/or Special Terms and Conditions,the State of Florida(State)reserves the right to withhold payment when the Grantee has failed to perform/comply with provisions of this Agreement.These consequences for nonperformance shall not be considered penalties. b. Corrective Action Plan. If the Grantee fails to correct all the deficiencies in a rejected deliverable within the specified timeframe,the Department may,in its sole discretion,request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP)be submitted by the Grantee to the Department. The Department shall provide the Grantee with a written request for a CAP that specifies the outstanding deficiencies. All CAPs must be able to be implemented and performed in no more than sixty(60)calendar days. i. The Grantee shall submit a CAP within ten(10)calendar days of the date of the written request from the Department.The CAP shall be sent to the Grant Manager for review and approval.Within ten (10)calendar days of receipt of a CAP,the Department shall notify the Grantee in writing whether the CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted,the Grantee shall have ten(10) calendar days from receipt of the Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to obtain the Department approval of a CAP as specified above shall result in the Department's termination of this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement. ii. Upon the Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP,the Grantee shall have ten(10) calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by the Department does not relieve the Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee,the Department shall retain the right to require additional or further remedial steps,or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform. No actions approved by the Department or steps taken by the Grantee shall preclude the Department from subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to the Department as requested by the Department Grant Manager. iii. Failure to respond to a Department request for a CAP or failure to correct a deficiency in the performance of the Agreement as specified by the Department may result in termination of the Agreement.
