Attachment 1-A
1of13
Rev. 9/15/2023
3957
4. Deliverables.
The Grantee agrees to render the services or other units of deliverables as set forth in Attachment 3,Grant Work Plan.
The services or other units of deliverables shall be delivered in accordance with the schedule and at the pricing outlined
in the Grant Work Plan. Deliverables may be comprised of activities that must be completed prior to Department
making payment on that deliverable. The Grantee agrees to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and all attachments and exhibits incorporated by the Standard Grant Agreement.
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

or inspect at any time to determine whether the services or qualifications offered by Grantee meet the Agreement
requirements. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, written acceptance of a particular deliverable
does not foreclose Department's remedies in the event deficiencies in the deliverable cannot be readily measured at
the time of delivery.
6. Acceptance of Deliverables.
a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by 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 Grantee's expense. If Department's Grant Manager does not accept the
deliverables within 30 days of receipt,they will be deemed rejected.
b. Rejection 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 Grantee's lack of satisfactory
performance under the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee's efforts to correct the rejected deliverables will
be at Grantee's sole expense. 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 Department in accordance with the Agreement requirements. The Department, at its option,may
allow additional time within which Grantee may remedy the objections noted by Department. The Grantee's
failure to make adequate or acceptable deliverables after a reasonable opportunity to do so shall 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. None of the financial consequences
for nonperformance in this Agreement as more fully described in the Grant Work Plan shall be considered
penalties.
b. Invoice reduction
If Grantee does not meet a deadline for any deliverable,the Department will reduce the invoice by 1%for each
day the deadline is missed,unless an extension is approved in writing by the Department.
c. Corrective Action Plan. If Grantee fails to correct all the deficiencies in a rejected deliverable within the specified
timeframe, Department may, in its sole discretion, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP) be
submitted by Grantee to Department. The Department requests that Grantee specify the outstanding deficiencies
in the CAP. 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) days of the date of the written request from
Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department's Grant Manager for review and approval.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of a CAP, Department shall notify Grantee in writing whether the
CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted,Grantee shall have ten(10)days from
receipt of Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to
obtain Department approval of a CAP as specified above may result in Department's termination of
this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement.
ii. Upon Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, Grantee shall have ten (10) days to
commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by Department
does not relieve Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails
to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, Department shall retain the right to
Attachment 1-A
2of13
Rev.9/15/2023
3958
require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by Department or steps taken by Grantee shall preclude 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
Department as requested by Department's 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 Department may result in termination of the
Agreement.

foregoing that affect subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to Grantee. In case of
any delay Grantee believes is excusable, Grantee shall notify Department in writing of the delay or potential delay
and describe the cause of the delay either(1)within ten days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first
arose, if Grantee could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result; or (2) if delay is not reasonably
foreseeable, within five days after the date Grantee first had reason to believe that a delay could result. THE
FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE THE GRANTEE'S SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT

claim for damages,other than for an extension of time,shall be asserted against Department. The Grantee shall not be
entitled to an increase in the Agreement price or payment of any kind from Department for direct, indirect,
consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or

7of13
Rev.9/15/2023
3963
discretion,that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Agreement to Department,in which case Department
may: (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from Grantee,provided that Grantee grants preferential treatment
to Department with respect to products subjected to allocation; (2) contract with other sources (without recourse to
and by Grantee for the related costs and expenses)to replace all or part of the products or services that are the subject

Grantees that are governmental entities: Each party hereto agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the
negligent or wrongful acts of its employees and agents. However, nothing contained herein shall constitute a
waiver by either party of its sovereign immunity or the provisions of section 768.28,F.S. Further,nothing herein
shall be construed as consent by a state agency or subdivision of the State to be sued by third parties in any matter
arising out of any contract or this Agreement.

liability for Grantee's negligence, waive Department's sovereign immunity under the laws of Florida, or

other remedies available to it, at law or in equity and upon notice to Grantee,retain such monies from amounts due
Grantee as may be necessary to satisfy any claim for damages,penalties,costs and the like asserted by or against it.
21. Waiver.
The delay or failure by Department to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute
or be deemed a waiver of Department's right thereafter to enforce those rights,nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
22. Statutory Notices Relating to Unauthorized Employment and Subcontracts.
a. The Department shall consider the employment by any Grantee of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section
274A(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If Grantee/subcontractor knowingly employs unauthorized
