Section R19-3-545 - Multi-term Contracts

A. Unless otherwise provided by law, a contract may be entered into for a period of time up to five years, if the term of the contract and conditions of renewal or extension, if any, are included in the solicitation and monies are available for the first fiscal period at the time of contracting.

B. A contract may be entered into for a period exceeding five years if the procurement officer makes a written determination that such a contract would be advantageous to the Lottery and the Lottery Commission pre-approves the extended contract period. The written determination shall include:

1. The initial and renewal option periods for the contract,

2. Documentation that the estimated requirements are reasonable and continuing, and

3. Documentation that such a contract will serve the best interests of the Lottery by encouraging effective competition or otherwise promoting economies in Lottery procurement.

C. The procurement officer shall include in all multi-term contracts a clause specifying that the contract shall be cancelled if monies are not appropriated or otherwise made available to support the continuation of performance in a subsequent fiscal year. If the contract is cancelled under this Section, the contractor may only be reimbursed for the reasonable value of any nonrecurring costs incurred but not amortized in the price of the materials or services delivered under the contract or which are otherwise not recoverable.
