1. General Renewal: The Contract may consist of successive periods on the same terms and
conditions, as specified within the Contract (a “Simplified Renewal Contract”). Each additional or
superseding period shall be on the forms specified by the State and shall be incorporated in the
Contract.
2. Renewal Notice to Not-for-Profit Contractors: The Contract, as specified herein, may consist of
successive periods on the same terms and condition referred to as a “Simplified Renewal Contract.”
Each additional or superseding period shall be on the forms specified by the State and shall be
incorporated into the Contract. Pursuant to State Finance Law §179-t, if the Contract is with a not-
for-profit Contractor and provides for a renewal option, the State shall notify the Contractor of the
State’s intent to renew or not to renew the Contract no later than ninety (90) calendar days prior to
the end of the term of the Contract, unless funding for the renewal is contingent upon enactment of
an appropriation, than thirty (30) calendar days after the appropriation becomes law, whichever is
later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the State is unable to comply with the time frames
set forth in this paragraph due to unusual circumstances beyond the control of the State (“Unusual
Circumstances”), no payment of interest shall be due to the Contractor. For purposes of State
Finance Law §179-t, “Unusual Circumstances” shall not mean the failure by the State to (i) plan for
implementation of a program, (ii) assign sufficient staff resources to implement a program, (iii)
establish a schedule for the implementation of a program or (iv) anticipate any other reasonably
foreseeable circumstance. Notification to the Contractor of the State’s intent to not renew the
Contract must be in writing in the form of a letter, with the reason(s) for the non-renewal included.
If the State does not provide notice to the Contractor of its intent not to renew the Contract as
required in this Section and State Finance Law §179-t, the Contract shall be deemed continued until
the date the State provides the necessary notice to the Contractor, in accordance with State Finance
Law §179-t. Expenses incurred by the not-for-profit Contractor during such extension shall be
reimbursable under the terms of the Contract.
II. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
A. Termination:
1. Grounds:
a) Mutual Consent: The Contract may be terminated at any time upon mutual written consent of
the State and the Contractor.
Contract Number: #
Page 4 of 13 Contract for Grants - Standard Terms and Conditions January 2025
Page 13
b) Cause: The State may terminate the Contract immediately, upon written notice of termination to
the Contractor, if the Contractor fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Contract
and/or any applicable laws, rules, regulations, policies, or procedures. If the termination for cause
results from unsatisfactory performance by the Contractor, the value of the work performed by the
Contractor prior to termination shall be established by the State.
c) Non-Responsibility: Upon written notice to the Contractor, and a reasonable opportunity to be
heard by the appropriate State officials or staff, this Contract may be terminated by the State at the
Contractor’s expense where the Contractor is determined by the State to be non-responsible. In such
event, the State may complete contractual requirements in any manner it deems advisable and pursue
available legal or equitable remedies for breach.
d) Convenience: The State may terminate the Contract in its sole discretion upon thirty (30)
calendar days prior written notice.
e) Lack of Funds: If for any reason the State or the Federal government terminates or reduces its
appropriation to the applicable State Agency or entity entering into the Contract or fails to pay the
full amount of the allocation for the operation of one or more programs funded under this
Contract, the Contract may be terminated or reduced at the State Agency’s discretion. No
reduction or termination shall apply to allowable costs already incurred by the Contractor
whereby funds are available to the State Agency for payment of such costs. Upon termination or
reduction of the Contract, all remaining funds paid to the Contractor that are not subject to
allowable costs already incurred by the Contractor shall be returned to the State Agency. In any
event, no liability shall be incurred by the State (including the State Agency) beyond monies
available for the purposes of the Contract. The Contractor acknowledges that any funds due to the
State Agency or the State of New York because of disallowed expenditures after audit shall be the
Contractor’s responsibility.
f) Force Majeure: Performance under the Contract may be terminated or suspended by the State
immediately upon the occurrence of a “force majeure” event. For purposes of the Contract,
“Force majeure” shall include, but not be limited to, natural disasters, war, rebellion, declared
pandemics, insurrection, riot, strikes, lockout, and any unforeseen circumstances and acts beyond
the control of the parties which render the performance of contractual obligations impossible.
2. Effect of Notice and Termination on State’s Payment Obligations:
Upon receipt of notice of termination provided pursuant to the notice requirements prescribed in this
Agreement, the Contractor shall stop work immediately and complete only those specific assignments
and/or obligations, if any, subsequently approved by the State. In the event of termination other than
for cause, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for services performed through the date of
termination that are accepted by the State, and for any subsequent services that are accepted by the
State, rendered in connection with any successor consultants and contractors, including transfer of
records, briefing and any other services deemed necessary or desirable by the State. The Contractor
agrees to cooperate to the fullest respect with any successor consultants and contractors.
3. Effect of Termination Based on Misuse or Conversion of State or Federal Property:
Where the Contract is terminated for cause based on Contractor’s failure to use some or all of the real
property or equipment purchased pursuant to the Contract for the purposes set forth herein, the State

III. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
A. Contractor as an Independent Contractor/Employees:
1. The State and the Contractor agree that the Contractor is an independent contractor, and not an

subdivision of the State nor make any claim, demand, or application to or for any right based upon
any different status. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the State and the Contractor agree that if the
Contractor is a New York State municipality, the Contractor shall be permitted to hold itself out, and
claim, to be a subdivision of the State.

licenses, approvals, and certifications currently required by the laws of any applicable local, state, or
Federal government to perform the services or work, as applicable, pursuant to the Contract and/or
any subcontract entered into under the Contract. The Contractor further agrees that such required
licenses, approvals, and certificates shall be kept in full force and effect during the term of the
Contract, or any extension thereof, and to secure any new licenses, approvals, or certificates within
the required time frames and/or to require its staff and subcontractors to obtain the requisite licenses,
approvals, or certificates. In the event the Contractor, its staff, and/or subcontractors are notified of a
denial or revocation of any license, approval, or certification to perform the services or work, as
applicable, under the Contract, Contractor shall immediately notify the State.
B. Subcontractors:
1. If the Contractor enters into subcontracts for the performance of work pursuant to the Contract, the
Contractor shall take full responsibility for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors. Nothing in the
subcontract shall impair the rights of the State under the Contract. No contractual relationship shall be
deemed to exist between the subcontractor and the State.

approve each and every subcontract in excess of $100,000 prior to giving written permission to the
Contractor to enter into the subcontract. All agreements between the Contractor and subcontractors
shall be by written contract, signed by individuals authorized to bind the parties. All such
subcontracts shall contain provisions for specifying (1) that the work performed by the subcontractor
must be in accordance with the terms of the Contract, (2) that nothing contained in the subcontract
shall impair the rights of the State under the Contract, and (3) that nothing contained in the

required to be included in subcontracts pursuant to the terms herein.
3. If requested by the State, the Contractor agrees to require the subcontractor to provide to the State
the information the State needs to determine whether a proposed subcontractor is a responsible
vendor.

between a subcontractor and its subcontractor.
6. The Contractor shall require any and all subcontractors to submit to the Contractor all financial
claims for Services or work to the State agency, as applicable, rendered and required supporting
documentation and reports as necessary to permit Contractor to meet claim deadlines and
documentation requirements as established in Attachment D (Payment and Reporting).
Subcontractors shall be paid by the Contractor on a timely basis after submitting the required reports
and vouchers for reimbursement of services or work, as applicable. Subcontractors shall be informed
by the Contractor of the possibility of non-payment or rejection by the Contractor of claims that do
not contain the required information, and/or are not received by the Contractor by said due date.

discretion, the State disapproves of any Purchase/Lease Contract, then the State shall not be
obligated to make any payments for such Property.
e) No member, officer, director, or employee of the Contractor shall retain or acquire any
interest, direct or indirect, in any Property, paid for with funds under the Contract, nor retain any

the Contractor.

State as required by law, regulation, professional standards, or reasonable business practice.
6. In protecting the Confidential Information, Contractor shall exercise the same standard of care used

commencing from the date of such notice or a date otherwise specified in such
notice, Contractor must obtain written approval from the Department prior to

York Codes, Rules and Regulations (“NYCRR”) for all State contracts, as
defined therein, with a value (1) in excess of $25,000 for labor, services,
equipment, materials, or any combination of the foregoing or (2) in excess of
$100,000 for real property renovations and construction.
b. The Contractor to the subject Contract (the “Contractor” and the “Contract,”
respectively) agrees, in addition to any other nondiscrimination provision of
the Contract and at no additional cost to the New York State Department of
State (the “Agency”), to fully comply and cooperate with the Agency in the
implementation of New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and the
regulations promulgated thereunder. These requirements include equal
employment opportunities for minority group members and women (“EEO”)
and contracting opportunities for New York State-certified minority and
women-owned business enterprises (“MWBEs”). The Contractor’s
demonstration of “good faith efforts” pursuant to 5 NYCRR §142.8 shall be a
part of these requirements. These provisions shall be deemed supplementary
to, and not in lieu of, the nondiscrimination provisions required by New York
State Executive Law Article 15 (the “Human Rights Law”) and other
applicable federal, state, and local laws. Contractor agrees that the terms
“MWBE,” “MBE” and “WBE” as used herein, shall mean those MBE or WBE
firms certified as such by the State pursuant to NY Executive Law Article 15-
A and listed in the directory of New York State Certified MWBEs found at the
following internet address: https://ny.newnycontracts.com/.
c. Failure to comply with all of the requirements herein may result in a finding
of non-responsiveness, non-responsibility and/or a breach of contract, leading
to the assessment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section M(7) of this
Attachment and such other remedies as are available to the Agency pursuant
to the Contract and applicable law.

N. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses Participation
Article 3 of Veterans’ Services Law, as amended, authorized the creation of the Division
of Service-Disabled Veterans' Business Development to promote participation of Service-
Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOBs) in New York State contracting. The
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Act recognizes the veterans’ service to and
sacrifice for our nation, declares that it is New York State’s public policy to promote and
encourage the continuing economic development of service-disabled veteran-owned
businesses, and allows eligible Veteran business owners to become certified as a New York
State Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB), in order to increase their
participation in New York State's contracting opportunities. To this effect, the Department
of State (DOS) has implemented a Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) Program, as
mandated by Article 3.
To comply with the SDVOB Program goals of 6%, the Department of State strongly
encourages grantees to make every effort, to the maximum extent possible, to engage
certified SDVOBs in the purchasing of commodities, services and technology in the
performance of their contracts with the Department. If SDVOB utilization is obtained, a
quarterly SDVOB utilization report should be submitted to the Department with
information of the utilization percentage achieved during that quarter. Contractor
Reporting Forms are found at: https://dos.ny.gov/supplier-diversity.
The Division of Service-Disabled Veterans' Business Development (DSDVBD) is housed
within the New York State Office of General Services (OGS) and maintains a directory of
the NYS Certified SDVOBs. For assistance with engaging SDVOB vendors in your
contracts, please contact the Division of Service-Disabled Veterans' Business Development

including all associated GIS and/or CAD digital files. Finished maps should also
be provided in a format suitable for viewing and printing (e.g. PDF). All final map
products should be submitted to NYSDOS as an ESRI compatible map package
(e.g., mpkx, ppkx). For any map products which include derived data, a project
package (.ppkx) is the preferred deliverable but any map package that provides the
necessary source data and documentation to replicate the methodology and
geoprocessing history used to derive such data is acceptable.
When creating a map package or project package please make sure to use relative
paths with the following boxes checked:
1) Share outside of organization
2) Include toolboxes
3) Include history items
b. GIS Data -- All final version spatially enabled files acquired or developed to
support mapping and/or spatial analysis through a DOS funded project are
considered property of the DOS and are required to be submitted to DOS. This
includes but is not limited to all GIS, CAD, and image formatted data. Only final
versions of each layer are required for delivery, and must be in an approved format
as specified in this document. In addition, all electronic geospatial data, whether
vector or raster, must have spatial reference information and be projection defined
(have its coordinate system identified and embedded in or associated with the data
file), and in the case of CAD data must NOT be in page space or a custom site-
specific projection.
c. Deliverable Format – Contractors responsible for data generation, maintenance,
and map/figure production for this task are required to submit all final products as
well as all source files and metadata used to derive them on Recordable CD or
DVD, external hard drive, via email attachment (size limit of 20MB) or
downloadable from an ftp site on the Internet. If the project is complex or contains
multiple map packages, a directory structure and readme text file in the upper level
directory that describes the structure are required.

Page 9 of 11, Attachment A-2 – Program Specific Terms and Conditions
Page 52
maps at 1:20,000 or smaller, not more than 10% of the well-defined map points tested
must be more than 1/50 inch (0.508 mm) out of correct position. At 1:24,000, this
tolerance translates to a required horizontal accuracy of 40 feet. If by prior agreement
with the Department the map product does not conform to National Map Accuracy
Standards, then a statement of actual map accuracy should be included in the
Documentation above. Furthermore, hydrographic surveys and maps should conform
to recommended accuracy standard proposed in the joint USGS, NOS, Coastal
Mapping Handbook, 1978, Melvin Ellis editor, U.S. Government Printing Office,
Appendix 6.
2. Additional Digital Cartographic File Requirements - The following cartographic
construction requirements must be adhered to by the Contractor:

matched with adjacent map sheets. No edge-match tolerance will be allowed.
Attributes for splitable features must also be identical.
b. Common Boundaries -- All features that share a common boundary, regardless of
map layer, must have exactly the same coordinate position of that feature in all
common layers.
c. Point Duplication -- No duplication of points that occur within a data string is
permitted.
d. Connectivity -- Where graphic elements visually meet, they must also digitally
meet. All confluences of line and polygon data must be exact; "overshoots",
"undershoots", "slivers", or "offshoots" are NOT permitted.
e. Line Quality -- A high quality cartographic appearance must be achieved.
Transitions from straight lines to curvilinear elements must be smooth, with angular
inflections at the point of intersection. The digital representation must not contain
extraneous data at a non-visible level. There should be no jags, hooks, or zero length
segments. Any lines that are straight, or should be straight, should be digitized using
only two points that represent the beginning and ending points of the line.
f. Polygon Closure -- For area features being digitized, the last coordinate pair must
be exactly (mathematically) equal to the first coordinate pair. No line or polygon
must cross itself except to join at an actual confluence. All digitized features across
map boundaries must be edited to effect smooth and continuous lines.
g. Graphic Precision -- Positional coordinates for all digital graphic elements should
not be reported to a level of precision greater than one thousandth (.001) of a foot.
h. Digitizer Accuracy -- The required RMS error for digitizer accuracy must be 0.003
or better for digital map registration.

will conform to standard map scales such as 1:9600; 1:50,000; 1:75,000; or
1:100,000.
c. Map Registration -- The maps must provide a minimum of four (4) corner and four
(4) interior ticks tied to USGS/NYSDOT quadrangle Lat/Long or NYTM
coordinates. The maps must be geometrically correct and should register when
overlaid on the appropriate USGS/NYSDOT quadrangle control ticks.
d. Map Title and Legend -- The maps must provide a title and legend block describing
the information contained on the maps, and including the Documentation and
Datums information requested in the General GIS Product Requirements above and
the map scale.
e. Cartographic Quality -- The quality of all map line work and symbolization must
conform to items 1 - 6 in the map criteria set forth in the Additional Digital
Cartographic File Requirements section outlined above.

10. All obligations must be incurred prior to the end date of the contract. The final claim of the
contract term shall be submitted to the State Agency up to ninety (90) calendar days after the

State Finance Law.
12. The Contractor may be required to submit a Consolidated Fiscal Reporting System (“CFR”). The
CFR is a standardized electronic reporting method accepted by State agencies, consisting of
schedules which, in different combinations, capture financial information for budgets, quarterly
and/or mid-year claims, an annual cost report, and a final claim. The CFR, which must be
submitted annually, is both a year-end cost report and a year-end claiming document. For New
York City contractors, the due date shall be May 1 of each year; for Upstate and Long Island
contractors, the due date shall be November 1 of each year.

subsequent contract years in multi-year contracts, Contractor will be notified of the scheduled
advance payments for the upcoming contract year no later than 90 days prior to the commencement

shall be subject to approval of the State.
For performance-based milestone contracts, or for the portion of the contract amount paid on
a performance basis, the Contractor shall maintain documentation demonstrating that
milestones were attained.

services rendered. Payment shall be limited to only those fees specifically agreed upon in the

Requirements.
7. Rate Based Reimbursement is based upon an established rate per unit at defined intervals to be paid
to the Contractor in accordance with the State Agency approved Schedule A: Claiming
Requirements. Payment shall be limited to rate(s) established in the Contract and may be requested
no more frequently than monthly.
8. Fifth Quarter Payments occur when there are scheduled payments and an expectation that services
will be continued through renewals or subsequent contracts. Fifth quarter payment shall be paid to
the Contractor at the conclusion of the final scheduled payment period of the preceding contract
period. The State Agency shall generate a voucher in the fourth quarter of the current contract year to
pay the scheduled payment for the next contract year.
9. If the Expenditure Based Budget is used in Attachment B-1 and the Expenditure Report is selected

explanation of why the refund is being made.
2. If at the end or termination of the Contract there remains any unexpended balance of the monies

Contractor fails to refund such balance the State may pursue all available remedies.
