Section 41-4-286

Department authorized to contract on behalf of agency; appropriation dependency clause.

The department may, on behalf of any state agency, enter into an equipment support contract with a vendor of telecommunications equipment for the purchase, lease or lease/purchase of such equipment subject to the competitive bid law. Such contracts shall be valid for not more than five fiscal years and must include the following annual appropriation dependency clause: "The continuation of the contract is contingent upon the appropriation by the Legislature of funds to fulfill the requirements of the contract. If the Legislature fails to appropriate sufficient moneys to provide for the continuance of the contract, or if funds from other sources are not available, the contract shall terminate on the date of the beginning of the fiscal year for which funds are not appropriated or available."
