welcomes participation by self -identified minority and woman owned firms and strongly
encourages such firms to become certified by OMWBE.
Participation may be either on a direct basis in response to this solicitation or as a
subcontractor to a Canon USA. However, unless required by federal statutes, regulations,
grants, or contract terms referenced in the original solicitation, no preference will be included
in the evaluation of bids, no minimum level of MWBE participation is required as condition for
receiving an award, and bids will not be evaluated, rejected or considered non -responsive on
that basis.

referenced in the original solicitation will apply. Bidders are encouraged to contact OMWBE
for information on becoming a certified firm as set forth in Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) Chapters 326-02 and 326-20; or for information on other certified firms for potential
sub -contracting arrangements. Nothing in this section is int Winded to prevent or discourage
bidders from inviting participation from non-MWBE firms as well as MWBE firms. Prior to
performance, an awarded bidder that is a MWBE or intends to use MWBE subcontractor USAs
is encouraged to identify the participating firm(s) to DES. Canon USA agrees to provide
diversity information for all authorized reseUersi dealers. The State may require a copy of
Canon USA "Inclusion Plan".

adjustment is to be applied.

of returns, credits and other offsets, except that for leasing the management fee shall be
paid based on the purchase price of the leased equipment, not on the periodic leasing
amounts.
DES may increase, reduce or eliminate the management fee, and reserves the right to

The state reserves the right to audit, or have a designated third party audit, records
applicable to accuracy of invoices to Purchasers and payment of the management fee to

paid. Failure to accurately report total net sales, to submit a timely usage report, or remit
timely payment of the management fee, may be cause for Agreement termination, the
charging of interest or penalties, or the exercise of other remedies provided by law.
The management fee does not include or supersede fee terms owed to other entities such as
the Western States Contracting Alliance, National Association of State Procurement Officials
(WSCA-NASPO) or governmental entities other than the state of Washington.
DES will invoice Canon USA every quarter based on sales reported by Canon USA, and the
management fee is payable only on receipt of invoices therefor.
Management fee payment must reference the Agreement number, the year and quarter for
which the management fee is being remitted, and Canon USA's name as it is known to DES, if
not already included on the face of the check. Canon USA will not pay contract
administrative fee until invoiced from DES. Canon USA will have up to 30 days to pay
the administration fee invoice. DES will charge a 1 % fee for any unpaid contract
administrative fee after 30 days.
