MOOT 5634 (0 7 /21) INSTRUCTIONS
An MOOT - approved third party subcontract is required between the transit agency and contractor for purchases of more than $25,000. This template is intended to be a guide to developing a third party subcontract. Your agency or unit of government may require additional contract language. This may be language for indemnification, severability, liquidated damages, force majeure events, assignment, complete agreement, and/or waivers. This is not to be construed as a full and complete list. Consult an attorney or your legal department if you need more information.
NAME OF TRANSIT AGENCY - This is the name of the entity on the project authorization awarding the funds. Use as complete of an agency name as possible. For a transit agency that's a unit of county or city government, this will likely be the name of the city or the county board of commissioners.
CONTRACT NUMBER - This is the project authorization and subcontract number. The project authorization number is the Agreement No.: and Authorization No.: at the upper right of the grant contract. The subcontract number is S followed by the number of subcontracts the project authorization has. For example, the first subcontract on Agreement No.: 2017-0235 and Authorization No.: P11 should be written 2017-0235/P11/S1.
NAME OF VENDOR COMPANY AND VENDOR ADDRESS- This is the name and address of the vendor company providing the product or service. It must match the vendor company name in the vendor company's submitted proposal, bid or quote.
SCOPE OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED - This is the task the vendor company must provide. It is typically a description of the work and a reference to the issued solicitation. A typical scope of work might be "county-wide needs assessment study as described in the City of Hartford's Request for Proposal RFP 2016-7" or "Manufacture and delivery of four 29ft buses."
DOCUMENTS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - These are attachments to the subcontract. Two required attachments are the solicitation as issued and the vendor company's submitted proposal, bid or quote. Your local agency may require additional attachments. You need to make sure the appendices, exhibits and or attachments are numbered and lettered correctly and match your contract language.
FEDERAL CONTRACT CLAUSES - Two other attachments are required after DOCUMENT 6. They are the federal contract clauses issued with the solicitation and the Prohibition of Discrimination in State Contracts (Appendix A). The name of the federal contract clauses appears at the top of page 1 of the clauses.
DEFINE TERMS (LUMP SUM, ETC) AND DOLLAR AMOUNT - This is the method how the vendor company will be paid. It will typically be by lump sum for a capital item like a bus or piece of maintenance equipment. It may be per unit cost for an agreed upon number of radios with a not to exceed price. It may be by progress payments per month or per week for work completed for a vendor company conducting a study or providing construction services on a large project.
PROMPT PAYMENT PROVISION LANGUAGE ON PAGE 3 - The federal requirements are payment no later than 30 days but MOOT has a more stringent requirement of payment no later than 10 days.
NAME OF VENDOR COMPANY, SIGNATURE, TITLE, DATE - This is the name of the vendor company providing the product or service. The signature and title must match the person authorized to sign for the vendor company as specified in the vendor company's submitted proposal, bid or quote.
