TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In addition to the RFP requirements elsewhere in this RFP, any Proposer that may be selected to perform

the services described in the RFP and to enter into a Vendor Agreement with the Library must agree to a

number of general terms and conditions. If a Proposer cannot agree to any of the stated general

conditions, its Proposal must clearly state the reason for any such non-compliance.

A. Labor and Materials. The Proposer shall provide all labor, materials and supplies for the services to

be performed under this RFP.

B. Form of Agreement. The submission of a Proposal constitutes the agreement of any submitting

Proposer that any contract to be drawn as a result of an award to the Proposer will be prepared by

counsel for the St. Louis Public Library and will be the controlling agreement. The Proposers are

requested, however, to submit copies of their applicable standard contract or engagement forms for

information purposes.

C. Compliance with Laws. In performing under a Vendor Agreement, the selected Proposer shall

comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or standards of federal, state and local

governments having authority or jurisdiction over the Services or performance of the Services, or any

lawful orders pertaining in any way to the Services to be provided by the St. Louis Public Library.

D. Out of State Proposer. It shall be a condition to a Vendor Agreement that any out-of-state Proposer

that may be selected to provide the Services shall be duly registered and qualified to do business

within the State of Missouri.

E. Prime Contractor Responsibility. Planned use of subcontractors in connection with a Vendor

Agreement should be clearly explained and described in the Proposal. The use of any subcontractor

in connection with the Services shall be subject to the approval of the St. Louis Public Library, and

any approved subcontractor shall agree to be bound by and subject to all terms and conditions of a

Vendor Agreement between the St. Louis Public Library and the selected Proposer. The Proposer as

prime contractor will be responsible and must take responsibility for the performance of all Services

under a Vendor Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used.

F. Independent Contractor. It is expressly understood and agreed that the selected Proposer shall be

an independent contractor and not an employee of the St. Louis Public Library. A Vendor Agreement

will not constitute, create, give rise to, or otherwise recognize joint venture, partnership, or formal

business organization of any kind between the parties and the rights and obligations of the parties

shall be only those expressly stated in a Vendor Agreement. The Proposer represents and warrants

that no persons supplied by it in the performance of a Vendor Agreement are employees of the St.

Louis Public Library and further agrees that no rights of the St. Louis Public Library’s retirement or

personnel rules accrue to such persons. The Proposer shall have complete responsibility for all

salaries, wages, bonuses, retirement, withholdings, worker’s compensation and insurance,

unemployment compensation, other benefits and taxes and premiums, appurtenant thereto concerning

all employees and personnel provided by Proposer in the performance of the Services under a

Vendor Agreement and shall indemnify and hold the St. Louis Public Library harmless with respect

thereto.
