OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM 200
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
From: Hector Mirabile, PhD, City Manager
Date: December 13, 2011 Agenda Item No.:
SUBJECT: Execute a new 36 -month lease agreement with Oce' North America
through the State of Florida Contract #600 -000 -11 -1, to replace the
current multifunctional copier equipment used by the City.
BACKGROUND: The City's current copier lease contract with Barlop /Lanier expires February I,
2012. In advance of the expiration date, Central Services researched other
government contracts where the City could "piggyback" and gain the benefits of .
volume pricing and features. Based on that market research, it is recommended the
City "piggyback" from the State of Florida Department of Management Services
contract for our copier equipment, service and selected supplies over the next 36
month period.
The recommended vendor is Oce' North America, an authorized Canon dealer.
Transitioning from Lanier, our current source, will result in an estimated savings of
$42,000 or 31%, over the 36 -month period when compared to current lease and
copier costs. In addition to the savings, Canon equipment is recommended by MIS.
MIS advised the Canon series of copiers is the easiest to support, the quickest to
release new drivers for operating system changes and the most compatible when
using the copiers to scan large documents for a document imaging system. All these
factors are requirements of the City and are necessary to support our paperless
initiative.
In addition to a lower lease rate, there are no minimum copy charges. Per copy
`rates apply for black & white copies. Our current contract has a minimum monthly
copy charge that includes 135,000 black & white copies per month; color copies are
not included into the minimum. Historical usage indicates the City's monthly copier
consumption is approximately 90,000 per month; therefore, it is more cost effective
to pay a per copy charge than a fixed monthly minimum fee. The 305% estimated
savings for this recommended contract includes fixed lease rate and per copy
savings in addition to copiers with more functionality than the current equipment.
An evaluation of copiers at each department was conducted and as a result of that
evaluation, two departments were "right- sized." Planning and the Public Works
copiers were upgraded with equipment having a higher copy per minute volume due
to the significant copies generated by those areas. The result is large copy jobs will
be produced more quickly and efficiently. Significant overall savings were still
realized after the "right- sizing" activity.
The Canon equipment will include a software upgrade, "Accounting Management
Plug -in," which tracks document usage and enables cost control. The web -based
software tracks, analyzes, and recovers costs associated with all networked output
devices, including printers, fax machines, and copiers. In addition to cost control
features, the software has the capability to enforce document -level print
restrictions, and discourage the use of higher -cost machines and increase overall
security.
The agreement also includes maintenance, toner, and supplies; excluding paper and
staples. A summary of the costs and savings over the 36 -month term are below.
Per copy charges are estimated and are based on historical activity:
sav % -31%
With respect to service and maintenance, the State of Florida Contract includes a
Service Level Agreement, ISLA), which guarantees service levels and penalties for
failure to perform. The SLA utilizes a scorecard method and fiat rate penalties
which are assessed to the vendor for failure to perform. The maximum penalty
level is 49% which is applied as a percentage to quarterly billings. The Performance
Criteria is below:

or use of Contractor's products in a manner not contemplated by the Contract or the purchase
order. If any product is the subject of an infringement suit, or in the Contractor's opinion is
likely to become the subject of such a suit, the Contractor may at its sole expense procure for the
Customer the right to continue using the product or to modify it to become non - infringing. If the
Contractor is not reasonably able to modify or otherwise secure the Customer the right to
continue using the product, the Contractor shall remove the product and refund the Customer the
- amounts paid in excess of a reasonable rental for past use. The customer shall not be liable for
any royalties.
The Contractor's obligations under the preceding two paragraphs with respect to any legal action
are contingent upon the State or Customer giving the Contractor (1) written notice of any action
or threatened action, (2) the opportunity to take over and settle or defend any such action at
Contractor's sole expense, and (3) assistance in defending the action at Contractor's sole
expense. The Contractor shall not be liable for any cost expense, or compromise incurred or
made by the State or Customer in any legal action without the Contractor's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4.20. Limitation of Liability. For all claims against the Contractor under any contract or
purchase order, and regardless of the basis on which the claim is made, the Contractor's liability
under a contract or purchase order for direct damages shall be limited to the greater of $100,000,
the dollar amount of the contract or purchase order, or two times the charges rendered by the
Contractor under the purchase order. This limitation shall not apply to claims arising under the
Indemnity paragraph contain in this agreement.
Unless otherwise specifically enumerated in the Contract or in the purchase order, no party shall
be liable to another for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost data
or records (unless the contract or purchase order requires the Contractor to back -up data or
records), even if the party has been advised that such damages are possible. No parry shall be
Iiable for lost profits, lost revenue, or lost institutional operating savings. The State and
RFP 20- 000A00 -Q 48
Multifunction Products, Printers, Facsimile Equipment, Scanners, Related Software, Supplies, and Services
Customer may, in addition to other remedies available to them at law or equity and upon notice
to the Contractor, retain such monies from amounts due Contractor as may be necessary to
satisfy any claim for damages, penalties, costs and the like asserted by or against them. The
State may set off any liability or other obligation of the Contractor or its affiliates to the State
against any payments due the Contractor under any contract with the State.
4.21. Suspension of Work. The Customer may in its sole discretion suspend any or all
activities under the Contract or purchase order, at any time, when in the best interests of the State
to do so. The Customer shall provide the Contractor written notice outlining the particulars of
suspension. Examples of the reason for suspension include, but are not limited to, budgetary
constraints, declaration of emergency, or other such circumstances. After receiving a suspension
notice, the Contractor shall comply with the notice and shall not accept any purchase orders.
Within ninety days, or any longer period agreed to by the Contractor, the Customer shall either
(1) issue a notice authorizing resumption of work, at which time activity shall resume, or (2)
terminate the Contract or purchase order. Suspension of work shall not entitle the Contractor to
any additional compensation.
4.22. Termination for Convenience. The Customer, by written notice to the Contractor, may
terminate the Contract in whole or in part when the Customer determines in its sole discretion
that it is in the State's interest to do so. The Contractor shall not furnish any product after it
receives the notice of termination, except as necessary to complete the continued portion of the
Contract, if any. The Contractor shall not be entitled to recover any cancellation charges or lost
profits.
4.23. Termination for Cause. The Customer may terminate the Contract if the Contractor
fails to (1) deliver the product within the time specified in the Contract or any extension, (2)
maintain adequate progress, thus endangering performance of the Contract, (3) honor any term of
the Contract, or (4) abide by any statutory, regulatory, or licensing requirement. Rule 60A-
1.006(3), F.A.C, governs the procedure and consequences of default. The Contractor shall
continue work on any work not terminated. Except for defaults of subcontractors at any tier, the
Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the Contract arises
from events completely beyond the control, and without the fault or negligence, of the
Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor at any tier, and if
the cause of the default is completely beyond the control of both the Contractor and the
subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either, the Contractor shall not be liable for
any excess costs for failure to perform, unless the subcontracted products were obtainable from
other sources in sufficient time for the Contractor to meet the required delivery schedule, If,
after termination, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the default was
excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had
been issued for the convenience of the Customer. The rights and remedies of the Customer in
this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under the
Contract.
4.24. Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages for Delay. The Contractor shall not
be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the
negligence of the Contractor or its employees or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is
RFP 20. 600 -000 -Q 49
Multifunction Products, Printers, Facsimile Equipment, Scanners, Related Software, Supplies, and Services
due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar
cause wholly beyond the Contractor's control, or for any of the foregoing that affect
subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor. In case
of any delay the Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor shall notify the Customer in
writing of the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten
(10) days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first arose, if the Contractor could
reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result, or (2) if delay is not reasonably
foreseeable, within five (5) days after the date the Contractor first had reason to believe that a
delay could result. THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE THE CONTRACTOR'S
SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT TO DELAY. Providing notice in strict
accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No claim for damages,
other than for an extension of time, shall be asserted against the Customer. The Contractor shall
not be entitled to an increase in the Contract price or payment of any kind from the Customer for
direct, indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not
limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference,
or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or delayed, in whole or in
part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after the causes have ceased to exist
the Contractor shall perform at no increased cost, unless the Customer determines, in its sole
discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Contract to the State or to
Customers, in which case the Customer may (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from
the Contractor, provided that the Contractor grants preferential treatment to Customers with
respect to products subjected to allocation, or (2) purchase from other sources (without recourse
to and by the Contractor for the related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the products
that are the subject of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantity, or
(3) terminate the Contract in whole or in part.
4.25. Changes. The Customer may unilaterally require, by written order, changes altering,
adding to, or deducting from the Contract specifications, provided that such changes are within
the general scope of the Contract. The Customer may make an equitable adjustment in the
Contract price or delivery date if the change affects the cost or time of performance. Such
equitable adjustments require the written consent of the Contractor, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If unusual quantity requirements arise, the Customer may solicit
separate bids to satisfy them.
4,26. Renewal. Upon mutual agreement, the Customer and the Contractor may renew the
Contract, in whole or in part, for a period that may not exceed 3 years or the term of the contract,
whichever period is longer. Any renewal shall specify the renewal price, as set forth in the
solicitation response. The renewal must be in writing and signed by both parties, and is
contingent upon satisfactory performance evaluations and subject to availability of funds.
4.27. Purchase Order Duration. Purchase orders issued pursuant to a state term or agency
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 or agency contract's term shall be
considered void.

Purchase orders for a one -time delivery of commodities or performance of contractual services
shall be valid through the performance by the Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the
state term or agency 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 or agency 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 (1.0) calendar days of receipt of the contractor's
notice to reflect the state tern 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 or agency contract by more than twelve
months. However, if an extended pricing plan offered in the state term or agency contract is
selected by the ordering entity, the contract terms on pricing plans and renewals shall govern the
maximum duration of purchase orders reflecting such pricing plans and renewals.
Timely purchase orders shall be valid through their specified term and performance by the
Contractor, and all terms and conditions of the state term or agency 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 or agency
contract if the underlying contract expires prior to the effective date of the renewal.
4.28. Advertising. Subject to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Contractor shall not publicly
disseminate any information concerning the Contract without prior written approval from the
Customer, including, but not limited to mentioning the Contract in a press release or other
promotional material, identifying the Customer or the State as a reference, or otherwise linking
the Contractor's name and either a description of the Contract or the name of the State or the
Customer in any material published, either in print or electronically, to any entity that is not a
party to Contract, except potential or actual authorized distributors, dealers, resellers, or service
representative.
4.29. Assignment. The Contractor shall not sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, duties or
obligations under the Contract, or under any purchase order issued pursuant to the Contract,
without the prior written consent of the Customer. In the event of any assignment, the Contractor
remains secondarily liable for performance of the contract, unless the Customer expressly waives
such secondary liability. The Customer may assign the Contract with prior written notice to
Contractor of its intent to do so.

Multifunction Products, Printers, Facsimile Equipment, Scanners, Related Software, Supplies, and Services
4.30. Antitrust Assignment. The Contractor and the State of Florida recognize that in actual
economic practice, overcharges resulting from antitrust violations are in fact usually borne by the
State of Florida. Therefore, the contractor hereby assigns to the State of Florida any and all
claims for such overcharges as to goods, materials or services purchased in connection with the
Contract.
4.31. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute concerning performance of the Contract shall be
decided by the Customer's designated contract manager, who shall reduce the decision to writing
and serve a copy on the Contractor. The decision shall be final and conclusive unless within
twenty one (21) days from the date of receipt, the Contractor files with the Customer a petition
for administrative hearing. The Customer's decision on the petition shall be final, subject to the
Contractor's right to review pursuant to Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes. Exhaustion of
administrative remedies is an absolute condition precedent to the Contractor's ability to pursue
any other form of dispute resolution; provided, however, that the parties may employ the
alternative dispute resolution procedures outlined in Chapter 120.
Without limiting the foregoing, the exclusive venue of any legal or equitable action that arises
out of or relates to the Contract shall be the appropriate state court in Leon County, Florida; in
any such action, Florida law shall apply and the parties waive any right to jury trial.
4.32. Employees, Subcontractors, and Agents. All Contractor employees, subcontractors, or
agents performing work under the Contract shall be properly trained technicians who meet or
exceed any specified training qualifications. Upon request, Contractor shall famish a copy of
technical certification or other proof of qualification. All employees, subcontractors, or agents
performing work under the Contract must comply with all security and administrative
requirements of the Customer and shall comply with all controlling laws and regulations relevant
to the services they are providing under the Contract. The State may conduct, and the Contractor
shall cooperate in, a security background check or otherwise assess any employee, subcontractor,
or agent furnished by the Contractor. The State may refuse access to, or require replacement of
any personnel for cause, including, but not limited to, technical or training qualifications, quality
of work, change in security status, or non - compliance with a Customer's security or other
requirements. Such approval shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to perform all work
in compliance with the Contract. The State may reject and bar from any facility for cause any of
the Contractor's employees, subcontractors, or agents.
4.33. Security and Confidentiality. The Contractor shall comply fully with all security
procedures of the United States, State of Florida and Customer in performance of the Contract.

Contractor or its agents, distributors, resellers, subcontractors, officers or employees in the
course of performing Contract work, including, but not limited to, security procedures, business
operations information, or commercial proprietary information in the possession of the State or
Customer. The Contractor shall not be required to keep confidential information or material that
is publicly available through no fault of the Contractor, material that the Contractor developed
independently without relying on the State's or Customer's confidential information, or material
that is otherwise obtainable under State law as a public record. To insure confidentiality, the
RFP 20-600 -000 -Q 52

Contractor shall take appropriate steps as to its personnel, agents, and subcontractors. The
warranties of this paragraph shall survive the Contract.
4.34. Contractor Employees, Subcontractors, and Other Agents. The Customer and the
State shall take all actions necessary to ensure that Contractor's employees, subcontractors and
other agents are not employees of the State of Florida. Such actions include, but are not limited
to, ensuring that Contractor's employees, subcontractors, and other agents receive benefits and
necessary insurance (health, workers' compensations, and unemployment) from an employer
other than the State of Florida.
435. Insurance Requirements. During the Contract term, the Contractor at its sole expense
shall provide commercial insurance of such a type and with such terms and limits as may be
reasonably associated with the Contract. Providing and maintaining adequate insurance coverage is
a material obligation of the Contractor. Upon request, the Contractor shall provide certificate of
insurance. The limits of coverage under each policy maintained by the Contractor shall not be
interpreted as limiting the Contractor's liability and obligations under the Contract. All insurance
policies shall be through insurers authorized or eligible to write policies in Florida.

duly authorized to do so and to bind the respective party to the Contract.

Calculation Example:
In this example, Feb 2006 is the first year anniversary of the contract. Therefore,
Old PPI: Jan 2006 PPI for Computer Printers = 129.4
New PPI: Jan 2007 PPI for Computer Printers =1255
Price De- escalation Formula:
New PPI / Old PPI = Price De- escalation Rate (rounded to four decimal points)
"Old Price Discount %" - "Price De- escalation Rate" = New Price Discount % (rounded to two
decimal points)
Calculation:
125.5 = 129.4 = .9699 which equates to a Price De- escalation Rate of 96.99%
50%-, 96.99% = 51% (New Price Discount Percent)
