infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, trade secret, or similar property right
arising from City's use of the software and/or documentation in accordance with this
Agreement, it being understood that this agreement to defend, settle or pay will not apply if
City modifies or misuses the software and/or documentation. So long as Vendor bears the cost
and expense of payment for claims or actions against City pursuant to this section, Vendor
will have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for
its settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, City will
have the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as
necessary to protect City's interest, and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In

compromise, such use is materially adversely restricted, Vendor will, at its own expense and
as City's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for City the right to continue to use the software

infringing, provided that such modification does not materially adversely affect City's
authorized use of the software and/or documentation; or (c) replace the software and/or
documentation with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing
software and/or documentation at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing

remedies available to City under law.

Terms & Conditions
Customer Data uploaded into a DocuSign eSignature Government Product will be hosted
within DocuSign's FedRAMP Moderate authorized boundary. "FedRAMP" means the Federal
Risk and Authorization Management Program.
DocuSign eSignature Government Products (but not CUM Government Products) include
features and functionality that allow Customers to connect to other DocuSign products or to
third -party products or services for interoperability purposes. Interoperability refers to multiple
computer systems that are connected in a manner that allows them to exchange information.
DocuSign eSignature Government Product features allowing for interoperability currently
include DocuSign Payments, Comments and Agreement Actions. A complete list of
interoperable eSignature Government Product features can be found at
https://www.docusign.com/legal/terms-and-conditions/esignature-interoperable-features.
These features are disabled by default for new customers but can be enabled by Customer
request. Customers may also use "connectors" to connect DocuSign eSignature Government
Products or CLM Government Products to other systems to exchange information. For
example, a DocuSign/Salesforce Connector can be used to connect DocuSign eSignature
Government Products to a Salesforce product so that information may be exchanged between
the two connected systems.
If Customer chooses to connect DocuSign eSignature Government Products to any other
DocuSign product or to any third -party products or services, Customer authorizes DocuSign to
export Customer Data outside of DocuSign's FedRAMP Moderate authorized boundary for the
processing and use of Customer Data by Customer, DocuSign, and/or such third parties (as
applicable). For clarity, where Customers connect DocuSign eSignature Government Products
with any other products or services (including but not limited to by use of Payments,
Comments, Connector or Agreement Action functionality), DocuSign disclaims all liability for
FedRAMP control compliance or Customer's obligations relating to Customer Data exported
from DocuSign's FedRAMP Moderate authorized boundary.
Customer must reference Quote number on Purchase Order.
Should Customer purchase via Reseller all terms of Carahsoft Quote must be incorporated in Reseller quote and Customer Purchase Order to Reseller.
Any increase in subscription and support pricing will be in accordance with DocuSign's pricing and policies in effect at the time of the renewal or as otherwise agreed to by the
parties.
Licensee agrees that any order for DocuSign will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Carahsoft Docusign Service Agreement copies of which are found at
https://static.carahsoft.com/concrete/files/2616/5962/5258/DocuSign_Master_Services_Agreement_fo_Public_Sector.pdf and all Schedules and Documentation referenced
by the Terms are made a part hereof. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation
(excluding Quotes) is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Quotes (and their
Contract Vehicle), (2) the TOU, and (3) the Documentation. Licensee acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review the Terms, prior to executing an order.
Should the customer purchase any version of DocuSign's IL-4 licensing the below terms will apply.
Reference the Memorandum previously provided to DISA Authorizing Official (dated October 22, 2023) detailing the Provisional Authorization (PA) granted by DISA, exceptions
to/exclusions from the PA, and conditions DocuSign is required to meet in order to maintain the PA for U.S. Department of Defense Impact Level 4 (DoD/IL-4). Customer
agrees:
not to use DocuSign DoD/IL-4 in production without a BCAP connection (or DISA approval);
not to process, store or transmit IL-4 production data without a BCAP connection to NIPRnet; o not to use DocuSign DoD/IL-4 to connect to any DocuSign services or
applications via an unauthorized endpoint outside of the NIPRnet or non-BCAP connections;
- Customer is responsible for any Customer Data sent to third party applications (regardless of whether such third -party applications are IL-4 certified);
Enterprise Premier Support for IL-4 customers is available from 9:00am - 8:30pm Eastern Standard Time.

Human Resources Department requests approval to procure DocuSign functionality that
integrates directly with the City's existing Greenhouse Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to
automate the generation, routing, execution, and retention of employment offer letters and
onboarding documents. The City currently utilizes Greenhouse as its proprietary Applicant
Tracking System and DocuSign as its enterprise electronic signature platform. The requested

functionality is designed specifically to integrate with the City's existing Greenhouse
environment and supports automated recruiting and hiring workflows.

to obtaining this good/service? Yes ❑ No

Section 2: Claimed Exemption and Justification (Other than sole source)
NOTE: For sole -source exemption requests, complete Section 3.
Please indicate the non -sole -source exemption you believe applies to the purchase and provide
information to support its applicability. Please refer to the Exemption Primer (starting on page 5)
for detailed information about common exemptions:
❑ A procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the City
of Fort Worth's residents;
❑ A procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public machinery,
equipment, or other property;
® A procurement for personal, professional, or planning services;
❑ A procurement for work that is performed and paid for by the day as the work
progresses;
❑ A purchase of land or a right-of-way;
❑ Paving drainage, street widening, and other public improvements, or related matters, if
at least one-third of the cost is to be paid by or through special assessments levied on
property that will benefit from the improvements;
❑ A public improvement project, already in progress, authorized by the voters of the
municipality, for which there is a deficiency of funds for completing the project in
accordance with the plans and purposes authorized by the voters;
❑ A payment under a contract by which a developer participates in the construction of a
public improvement as provided by Subchapter C, Chapter 212;
❑ Personal property sold:
• at an auction by a state licensed auctioneer;
Page 2 of 7
at a going out of business sale held in compliance with Subchapter F,
Chapter 17, Business & Commerce Code;
by a political subdivision of this state, a state agency of this state, or an
entity of the federal government; or
under an interlocal contract for cooperative purchasing administered by a
regional planning commission established under Chapter 391;
❑ Services performed by blind or severely disabled persons;
❑ Goods purchased by a municipality for subsequent retail sale by the municipality;
❑ Electricity; or
❑ Advertising, other than legal notices.
Please provide details and facts to explain why you believe the exemption applies to the
purchase. You may also attach documentation to this form. The requested DocuSign
functionality is not a stand-alone, off -the -shelf SaaS license. Instead, it involves specialized
configuration, workflow design, system integration, and implementation services that must be
performed by a vendor with expertise in both Greenhouse and DocuSign enterprise platforms.
The functionality is designed specifically to integrate with the City's existing Greenhouse ATS
environment. Creating this integration requires vendor expertise to configure API connections,
establish secure routing between systems, and customize workflows within DocuSign that align
with the City's recruiting processes. These tasks are highly technical, customized, and require
professional implementation support —not merely the purchase of software access. Automating
the generation, routing, execution, and retention of offer letters and onboarding documents
requires professional assessment of the City's existing hiring workflows. The vendor must
analyze the City's processes, translate them into system logic, and configure templates, rules,
and automation steps within both platforms. This constitutes professional consulting and
configuration work. Because the City already uses Greenhouse and DocuSign as enterprise
systems, the requested solution must be configured to operate correctly within those existing
environments. That requires technical expertise to ensure compatibility, proper security controls,
data mapping, and document retention compliance. These are not user -level settings; they are
professional -grade implementation tasks. Once implemented, the integrated workflows must
operate reliably within the City's controlled FIR environment. Ensuring that the solution
continues to function with system updates, security requirements, and evolving HR policies
typically necessitates professional support services from the vendor or integration partner.
Employment offer letters and onboarding documents are legally significant. Ensuring the
automated processes are correct, secure, and compliant with City, state, and federal employment
requirements requires professional guidance and configuration. This further supports
classification as professional services rather than a generic SaaS subscription. The scope of work
involves professional expertise, specialized technical services, and customized workflow
engineering.
