Common use of Local Office Clause in Contracts

Local Office. 1. The Contractor may, at its discretion, open a local office in Little Rock within 90 days of the contract’s effective date in accordance with the requirements set forth in RFP #▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇. This is a relaxation of the RFP requirement regarding the Contractor’s local office and the Contractor’s proposal to open said office within 90 days of the contract’s effective date. The State may require the Contractor to open the office at a later date, provided the State gives Contractor at least 60 days’ written notice. In the event that the State provides notice within the first 30 days after the contract’s effective date that it requires a local office, Contractor will not be required to open the local office until 90 days after the contract’s effective date (i.e. in no event shall the local office be required any sooner than 90 days after the contract’s effective date). The State also relaxes the requirements in the RFP related to Contractor being on-site in Little Rock, Arkansas (either at its local office or the State’s offices.) Instead, the State reserves the right to request, with one (1) week’s written notice, that any member of the Contractor’s team, who is otherwise required to be in Little Rock by the RFP, be present on-site in Little Rock.”
