5. Performance Measures. <br />The Grantee warrants that: (1) the services will be performed by qualified personnel; (2) the services will be of the <br />kind and quality described in the Grant Work Plan; (3) the services will be performed in a professional and <br />workmanlike manner in accordance with industry standards and practices; (4) the services shall not and do not infringe <br />upon the intellectual property rights, or any other proprietary rights, of any third party; and (5) its employees, <br />subcontractors, and/or subgrantees shall comply with any security and safety requirements and processes, if provided <br />by the Department, for work done at the Project Location(s). The Department reserves the right to investigate or <br />inspect at any time whether the services or qualifications offered by the Grantee meet the Agreement requirements. <br />Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, written acceptance of a particular deliverable/minimum requirement <br />does not foreclose the Department's remedies in the event those performance standards that cannot be readily <br />measured at the time of delivery are not met. <br />6. Acceptance of Deliverables. <br />a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by the Department's Grant <br />Manager before payment. The Grantee shall work diligently to correct all deficiencies in the deliverable that <br />remain outstanding, within a reasonable time at the Grantee's expense. If the Department's Grant Manager does <br />not accept the deliverables within 30 days of receipt, they will be deemed rejected. <br />b. Reiection of Deliverables. The Department reserves the right to reject deliverables, as outlined in the Grant <br />Work Plan, as incomplete, inadequate, or unacceptable due, in whole or in part, to the Grantee's lack of <br />satisfactory performance under the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee's efforts to correct the rejected <br />deliverables will be at the Grantee's sole expense. The Grantee shall only invoice the Department for <br />deliverables that are completed in accordance with the Grant Work Plan. Failure to fulfill the applicable <br />technical requirements or complete all tasks or activities in accordance with the Grant Work Plan will result in <br />rejection of the deliverable and the associated invoice. Payment for the rejected deliverable will not be issued <br />unless the rejected deliverable is made acceptable to the Department in accordance with the Agreement <br />requirements. The Department, at its option, may allow additional time within which the Grantee may remedy <br />the objections noted by the Department. The Grantee's failure to make adequate or acceptable said deliverables <br />after a reasonable opportunity to do so may constitute an event of default. <br />7. Financial Consequences for Nonperformance. <br />a. Withholding Pam In addition to the specific consequences explained in the Grant Work Plan and/or <br />Special Terms and Conditions, the State of Florida (State) reserves the right to withhold payment when the <br />Grantee has failed to perform/comply with provisions of this Agreement. These consequences for <br />nonperformance shall not be considered penalties. <br />b. Corrective Action Plan. If the Grantee fails to correct all the deficiencies in a rejected deliverable within the <br />specified timeframe, the Department may, in its sole discretion, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan <br />(CAP) be submitted by the Grantee to the Department. The Department shall provide the Grantee with a written <br />request for a CAP that specifies the outstanding deficiencies. All CAPS must be able to be implemented and <br />performed in no more than sixty (60) calendar days. <br />i. The Grantee shall submit a CAP within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the written request from <br />the Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Grant Manager for review and approval. Within ten <br />(10) calendar days of receipt of a CAP, the Department shall notify the Grantee in writing whether <br />the CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, the Grantee shall have ten (10) <br />calendar days from receipt of the Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised <br />proposed CAP. Failure to obtain the Department approval of a CAP as specified above shall result <br />in the Department's termination of this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement. <br />ii. Upon the Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, the Grantee shall have ten (10) <br />calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP <br />by the Department does not relieve the Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In <br />the event the CAP fails to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, the Department <br />shall retain the right to require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement <br />for failure to perform. No actions approved by the Department or steps taken by the Grantee shall <br />preclude the Department from subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. The Grantee <br />shall continue to implement the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of <br />the CAP will be made to the Department as requested by the Department Grant Manager. <br />iii. Failure to respond to a Department request for a CAP or failure to correct a deficiency in the <br />performance of the Agreement as specified by the Department may result in termination of the <br />Agreement. <br />Attachment 1 <br />2of12 <br />Rev. 7/28/2017 <br />
