APPENDIX D
STANDARD CLAUSES FOR THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTS
FOR NEW YORK STATE
The attached contract ("the Contract" or "this Contract") has been determined to be
a contract "for" the State of New York ("the State") . The Contract is between an
entity acting for the State pursuant to an agreement with the State (the "State
Contractor") and another entity (the "Third-Party Contractor", which refers to any
party other than the State Contractor or the State, whether a contractor, licenser,
licensee, lessor, lessee or any other party). In light of the foregoing, the parties to the
Contract (whether it may be a license, lease, amendment or other agreement of any
kind) agree to be bound by the following clauses which are hereby made a part of the
Contract:
1. LIMITATION OF STATE'S LIABILITY. The State shall have no liability hereunder to
the Third-Party Contractor. The State's liability, if any, is to the State Contractor
pursuant to an agreement between the State and the State Contractor ("the
Agreement") which is separate and apart from this Contract, and, in accordance with
the executory clause to the Agreement the State's Liability is limited to the funds
appropriated and available for such Agreement.
2. NON-ASSIGNMENT CLAUSE. Consistent with the provisions of Section 138 of the
State Finance Law, this Contract may not be assigned by the Third-Party Contractor or
its right, title or interest therein assigned, transferred, conveyed, sublet or otherwise
disposed of without the previous consent, in writing, of the State Contractor and the
State and any attempts to assign the Contract without the State's written consent are
null and void. The Third-Party Contractor may, however, assign its right to receive
payment without the State Contractor's and the State's prior written consent unless
this Contract concerns Certificates of Participation pursuant to Article 5-A of the State
Finance Law.
3. COMPTROLLER'S APPROVAL. In accordance with Section 112 of the State Finance
Law, if this Contract exceeds $15,000 (or, if this Contract is for the State University or

exceeds the minimum thresholds agreed to by the Office of the State Comptroller for
certain S.U.N.Y. and C.U.N.Y. contracts), or if this is an amendment for any amount to
a contract which, as so amended, exceeds said statutory amount, or if the Contract
involves consideration other than the payment of money for the State and the
consideration being given for the State has a value or reasonably estimated value that
exceeds $10,000, it shall not be valid, effective or binding until it has been approved
by the State Comptroller and filed in his office. Comptroller's approval of Contracts let
for the Office of General Services is required when such Contracts exceed $30,000
(State Finance Law Section 163.6.a). Failure to obtain the Comptroller's approval of
this Contract, where required, will preclude any payment by the State to the State
Contractor under the Agreement which would be used to fund this Contract.
4. WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFITS. Consistent with the provisions of Section 142
of the State Finance Law, this Contract shall be void and of no force and effect unless
the Third-Party Contractor shall provide and maintain coverage during the life of this
Contract for the benefit of such employees as are required to be covered by the
provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law.
5. NON-DISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS. To the extent required by Article 15 of the

Section 220'e of the Labor Law, if this is a contract for the construction, alteration or
repair of any public building or public work or for the manufacture, sale or distribution

or national origin: (a) discriminate in hiring against any New York State citizen who is
qualified and available to perform the work; or (b) discriminate against or intimidate
any employee hired for the performance of work under this Contract. If this is a
building service contract as defined in Section 230 of the Labor Law, then, in
accordance with Section 239 thereof, the Third.Party Contractor agrees that neither it
nor its subcontractors shall by reason of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex or
disability: (a) discriminate in hiring against any New York State citizen who is qualified
and available to perform the work; or (b) discriminate against or intimidate any

Contractor is subject to fines of 550.00 per person per day for any violation of Section
nO-e or Section 239 as well as possible termination of this Contract and forfeiture of
all moneys due hereunder for a second or subsequent violation.
6. WAGE AND HOURS PROVISIONS. If this is a public workcontract covered by Article
8 of the Labor Law or a building service contract covered by Article 9 thereof, neither
the Third-Party Contractor's employees nor the employees of its subcontractors may be
required or permitted to work more than the number of hours or days stated in said

the Third-Party Contractor and its subcontractors must pay at least the prevailing wage
rate and payor provide the prevailing supplements, including the premium rates for
overtime pay, as determined by the State Labor Department in accordance with the
Labor Law.

139.d of the State Finance Law, if this Contract was awarded based upon the
submission of bids, the Third-Party Contractor warrants, under penalty of perjury, that
its bid was arrived at independently and without collusion aimed at restricting
competition. The Third-Party Contractor further warrants that, at the time the Third-
Party Contractor submitted its bid, an authorized and responsible person executed and
delivered to the State Contractor or the State a non-collusive bidding certification on
the Third-Party Contractor's behalf.
