1. Vendor acknowledges that Rush has entered into a contract for goods or services with a unit of State or local government in the State of Illinois (the “State”) under which Rush has identified Vendor as a subcontractor to provide Goods and Services for the benefit of the State (“State Contract”).
2. Vendor agrees to comply with the following additional terms and conditions in consideration for Rush’s engagement of Vendor to provide Goods and Services pursuant to the State Contract, and such terms are incorporated by reference into the agreement between Vendor and Rush:
a. The State of Illinois Department of Human Rights’ Equal Opportunity requirements are incorporated by reference. 44 Ill. Adm. Code 750.
b. If Vendor is not registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG), Vendor must complete and submit a Vendor Disclosure Form (formerly named FORMS A) to the State of Illinois. If Vendor is registered in the IPG they must complete and submit an IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure (formerly named FORMS B) to the State of Illinois.
c. Vendor must (i) pay its employees prevailing wages when required by law, (ii) pay its suppliers and subcontractors according to the terms of their respective contracts, and (iii) provide lien waivers to the State upon request. Examples of prevailing wage categories include public works, printing, janitorial, window washing, building and grounds services, site technician services, natural resource services, security guard and food services. The prevailing wages are revised by the Department of Labor and are available on the State’s official website, which shall be deemed proper notification of any rate changes under this subsection. Vendor is responsible for contacting the Illinois Department of Labor to ensure understanding of prevailing wage requirements at 217-782-6206 or https://labor.illinois.gov/laws-rules/conmed/current-prevailing-rates.html.
d. Vendor shall maintain books and records relating to the performance of the Goods and Services necessary to support amounts charged to Rush. Books and records, including information stored in databases or other computer systems, shall be maintained by the Vendor for a period of three (3) years from the later of the date of final payment or completion of the contract. If federal funds are used to pay contract costs, the Vendor must retain its records for five years. If Federal funds are used to pay contract costs, the Vendor and its subcontractors must retain their respective records for five (5) years. Books and records required to be maintained under this section shall be available for review or audit by representatives of Rush and the State or other governmental entities with monitoring authority, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours. Vendor shall cooperate fully with any such audit and with any investigation conducted by any of these entities. Failure to maintain books and records required by this section shall establish a presumption in favor of the State for the recovery of any funds paid by the State to Rush for Goods and Services performed by Vendor under a State Contract for which adequate books and records are not available to support the purported disbursement. The Vendor shall not impose a charge for audit or examination of the Vendor’s books and records.
e. Whenever the State deems it reasonably necessary for security reasons, the State may conduct, at its expense, criminal and driver history background checks of Vendor’s officers, employees or agents. Vendor shall reassign immediately any such individual who, in the opinion of the State, does not pass the background check.
f. The Vendor, its employees, agents, and subcontractors shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, rules, ordinances, regulations, orders, Federal circulars and all license and permit requirements in the performance of this contract. Vendor shall be in compliance with applicable tax requirements and shall be current in payment of such taxes. Vendor shall obtain at its own expense, all licenses and permissions necessary for the performance of the agreement.
g. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that it: (i) must complete and execute Sub-Contractor Certification/Disclosure forms promulgated by the State; and (ii) register with the IL State Board of Elections.
