BRCC reserves the right to award items separately, grouped or on an all-or-none basis and to

reject any or all Bids and waive any informalities. The purchase order or contract, faxed, mailed,

Community College Drive, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70806 or forwarded by email to

accountspayable@mybrcc.edu. The invoice shall refer to the delivery ticket number, delivery

12. Purchase Order/Contract Cancellation for Cause.

BRCC has the right to cancel any contract, in accordance with its purchasing rules and

regulations, for cause, including but not limited to, the following:

(2) Failure of the product or service to meet specifications, conform to sample quality or

to be delivered in good condition;

(3) Misrepresentation by the contractor;

(4) Fraud, collusion, conspiracy or other unlawful means of obtaining any contract with

BRCC;

(5) Conflict of contract provisions with constitutional or statutory provisions of state or

federal law;

(6) Any other breach of contract.

13. Termination of the Purchase Order/Contract.

Termination for Convenience: BRCC may terminate the contract at any time by giving

thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Contractor of such termination or by negotiating

with the Contractor an effective date. The Contractor shall be entitled to payment for

deliverables in progress, to the extent work has been performed satisfactorily.

Termination for Cause: The State may terminate this contract for cause based upon the

failure of the Contractor to comply with the terms and/or conditions of this contract;

provided that the State shall give the Contractor written notice specifying the Contractor's

failure. If within 15 days after receipt of such notice, the Contractor shall not have either

corrected such failure and thereafter proceeded diligently to complete such correction,

then the State, may at its option, place the Contractor in default and this contract shall

terminate on the date specified in such notice. The Contractor may exercise any rights

available to it under Louisiana law to terminate for cause upon the failure of the State to

comply with the terms and conditions of this contract; provided that the Contractor shall

give the State written notice specifying the State's failure.

14. Termination for Non-Appropriation of Funds.

The continuance of the contract is contingent upon the appropriation of funds to fulfill the

requirements of the contract by legislature. If the legislature fails to appropriate sufficient monies

to provide for the continuation of the contract, or if such appropriation is reduced by the veto of

the Governor or by any means provided in the appropriations act or Title 39 of the Louisiana

Revised Statutes of 1950 to prevent the total appropriation for the year from exceeding revenues

for that year, or for any other lawful purpose, and the effect of such reduction is to provide

insufficient monies for the continuation of the contract, the contract shall terminate on the date of

the beginning of the first fiscal year for which funds are not appropriated.

15. Default of Contractor.

Failure to deliver within the time specified in the Bid will constitute a default and may cause

cancellation of the contract. Where BRCC has determined the contractor to be in default, BRCC

reserves the right to purchase any and all products or services covered by the contract on the open

market and to charge the contractor with the cost in excess of the contract price. Until such

assessed charges have been paid, no subsequent Bid from the defaulting contractor will be

considered.

16. Order of Priority.

In the event there is a conflict between the Instructions to Bidder or Standard Terms and

Conditions, the Standard Term and Conditions shall govern.
