CONSTRUCTION -RELATED GOODS AND SERVICES AFFIRMATION
The Cooperative issued the BuyBoard Procurement and Construction -Related Goods and Services Advisory for Texas Members
("Advisory"), which provides information specifically relevant to the procurement of construction -related goods and services
by Texas Cooperative members. The Advisory, available at buvboard.com/Vendor/Resources.asi)x, provides an overview of
certain legal requirements that are potentially relevant to a Cooperative member's procurement of construction or
construction -related goods and services, including those for projects that may involve or require architecture, engineering or
independent testing services. A copy of the Advisory can also be provided upon request. Because many BuyBoard contracts
include goods or installation services that might be considered construction -related, Proposer must make this Construction
Related -Goods and Services Affirmation regardless of type of goods or services associated with this Proposal Invitation.
A contract awarded under this Proposal Invitation covers only the specific goods and/or services awarded by the Cooperative.
As explained in the Advisory ("Advisory"), Texas law prohibits the procurement of architecture or engineering
services through a purchasing cooperative. This Proposal Invitation and any Contract awarded thereunder
does not include such services. Architecture or engineering services must be procured by a Cooperative
member separately, in accordance with the Professional Services Procurement Act (Chapter 2254 of the Texas
Government Code) and other applicable law and local policy.
By signature on the Compliance Forms Signature Page, Proposer affirms that Proposer has obtained a copy of the Advisory,
has read and understands the Advisory, and is authorized by Proposer to make this affirmation. If Proposer sells construction -
related goods or services to a Cooperative member under a Contract awarded under this Proposal Invitation, Proposer will
comply with the Advisory and applicable legal requirements, make a good faith effort to make its Cooperative member
customers or potential Cooperative member customers aware of such requirements, and provide a Cooperative member with
a copy of the Advisory before accepting the member's Purchase Order or other agreement for construction -related goods or
services.

(2 CFR Part 200 and Appendix II)
When a Cooperative member seeks to procure goods and services using funds under a federal grant or contract, specific
federal laws, regulations, and requirements may apply in addition to those under state law. This includes, but is not limited
to, the procurement standards of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards, 2 CFR 200 (sometimes referred to as the "Uniform Guidance" or new "EDGAR"). All Vendors submitting a
Proposal must complete this EDGAR Certification Form regarding Vendor's willingness and ability to comply with certain
requirements which may be applicable to specific Cooperative member purchases using federal grant funds. Completed
forms will be made available to Cooperative members for their use while considering their purchasing options when using
federal grant funds. Cooperative members may also require Vendors to enter into ancillary agreements, in addition to the
terms and conditions of the BuyBoard contract, to address the member's specific contractual needs, including contract
requirements for a procurement using federal grants or contracts.
For each of the items below, Vendor should certify Vendor's agreement and ability to comply, where
applicable, by having Vendor's authorized representative check the applicable boxes, initial each page, and
sign the Compliance Forms Signature Page. If you fail to complete any item in this form, the Cooperative will
consider and may list the Vendor's response on the BuyBoard as 'WO,"the Vendor is unable or unwilling to
comply. A "NO" response to any of the items may, if applicable, impact the ability of a Cooperative member to purchase
from the Vendor using federal funds.
1. Vendor Violation or Breach of Contract Terms:
Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold, which is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian
Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 USC 1908, must
address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and
provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.
Provisions regarding Vendor default are included in the BuyBoard General Terms and Conditions, including Section E.18,
Remedies for Default and Termination of Contract. Any Contract award will be subject to such BuyBoard General Terms and
Conditions, as well as any additional terms and conditions in any Purchase Order or Cooperative member ancillary contract
agreed upon by Vendor and the Cooperative member which must be consistent with and protect the Cooperative member at
least to the same extent as the BuyBoard Terms and Conditions. The remedies under the Contract are in addition to any
other remedies that may be available under law or in equity. By submitting a Proposal, you agree to these Vendor violation
and breach of contract terms.
A YES, I agree. ❑ NO, I do not agree.
2. Termination for Cause or Convenience:

Cooperative member prior to the termination and not otherwise returned in accordance with Vendor's return policy. If the
Cooperative member has paid Vendor for goods or services not yet provided as of the date of termination, Vendor shall
immediately refund such payment(s).
If an alternate provision for termination of a Cooperative member purchase for cause and convenience, including the manner
by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement, is included in the Cooperative member's Purchase Order or ancillary
agreement agreed to by the Vendor, the Cooperative member's provision shall control.

regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 USC 3702 of the Act, Vendor is required to compute the wages of every mechanic and

NATIONAL PURCHASING COOPERATIVE VENDOR AWARD AGREEMENT
In accordance with the Terms and Conditions associated with this Proposal Invitation, a contract awarded under this Proposal
Invitation may be "piggy -backed" by another governmental entity. The National Purchasing Cooperative is an
intergovernmental purchasing cooperative formed by certain school districts outside of Texas to serve its members throughout
the United States. If you agree to be considered for a piggy -back award by the National Purchasing Cooperative, you agree
to the following terms and agree to serve National Purchasing Cooperative members in the states you have indicated on the
State Service Designation form, in your Proposal.
By signing this form, Proposer (referred to in this Agreement as "Vendor") agrees as follows:
1. Vendor acknowledges that if The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative ("Texas Cooperative") awards Vendor a
contract under this Proposal Invitation ("Underlying Award"), the National Purchasing Cooperative ("National Cooperative")
may - but is not required to - "piggy -back" on or re -award all or a portion of that Underlying Award ("Piggy -Back Award").
By signing this National Cooperative Vendor Award Agreement ("Agreement"), Vendor accepts and agrees to be bound by
any such Piggy -Back Award as provided for herein.
2. In the event National Cooperative awards Vendor a Piggy -Back Award, the National Cooperative Administrator ("BuyBoard
Administrator") will notify Vendor in writing of such Piggy -Back Award, which award shall commence on the effective date
stated in the Notice and end on the expiration date of the Underlying Award, subject to annual renewals as authorized in
writing by the BuyBoard Administrator. Vendor agrees that no further signature or other action is required of Vendor in order
for the Piggy -Back Award and this Agreement to be binding upon Vendor. Vendor further agrees that no interlineations or
changes to this Agreement by Vendor will be binding on National Cooperative, unless such changes are agreed to by its
BuyBoard Administrator in writing.
3. Vendor agrees that it shall offer its goods and services to National Cooperative members at the same unit pricing and
same general terms and conditions, subject to applicable state laws in the state of purchase, as required by the Underlying
Award. However, nothing in this Agreement prevents Vendor from offering National Cooperative members better (i.e., lower)
competitive pricing and more favorable terms and conditions than those in the Underlying Award.
4. Vendor hereby agrees and confirms that it will serve those states it has designated on the State Service Designation Form
of this Proposal Invitation. Any changes to the states designated on the State Service Designation Form must be approved
in writing by the BuyBoard Administrator.
5. Vendor agrees to pay National Cooperative the service fee provided for in the Underlying Award based on the amount of
