If you have any questions concerning this solicitation, please submit them in writing to Sabrina L. Scales, Interim Senior Purchasing Director at purchasing@sccpss.com. Please note that all communications relating to this solicitation must be directed to the Purchasing Department pursuant to SCCPSS policy. Duration ("Term") of this Agreement: This Agreement shall remain in effect for [Insert duration not to exceed one year] from the date it is signed on behalf of the District by a person acting with proper authorization from District's governing body, the elected School Board, unless sooner terminated as provided herein or extended by mutual agreement in writing. The District reserves the right to extend the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year periods by mutual agreement, to the extent allowed by Georgia law and subject to any requirements required by Georgia law. Transition Period: Due to the nature of our purchasing process, the District often requires an existing service provider to continue to provide goods and/or services while the District is in the process of advertising, evaluating, and awarding a contract for the provision of the same goods and/or services in the future. To accommodate this process, the Contractor shall agree to maintain the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for a period up to ninety (90) days after the automatic termination of this Agreement at the end of its term, if requested by the District, as a transition period. In addition, if the Contractor is not the successful bidder for a future solicitation for the same or similar services, he or she shall agree to provide the same goods and/or services provided in this Agreement for a period up to ninety (90) days to allow for an orderly transition to the new provider. The District and the Contractor may mutually agree to a longer transition period. Liquidated Damages for Delay. In addition to the Contractor bearing the actual cost of correcting any non-compliant work or any other actual damages resulting from Contractor's breach of this Agreement, the Contractor agrees to pay the Contractor delay damages in the amount of $500.00 per day for every day that the goods and/or services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement have not been timely delivered to the District in compliance with the Scope of Services set forth above, unless the delay has been properly excused by the terms of this Agreement. The parties agree that the District's actual damages for delay are difficult to estimate and that this $500.00 per day sum is a reasonable pre-estimate of the District's actual damages for each day of delay and that the is $500.00 per day sum is intended by the parties to be in the nature of liquidated damages, not a penalty. It is not the parties' intent for this provision to limit either party's remedies against the other for the breach of this Agreement, except for the District's money damages for unexcused delays caused by the Contractor.
