11135; Title 5 Sections 59300 et seq.
Whenever the District enters into a contract for the purchase, development, procurement,
maintenance or use of any electronic or information technology, the vendor shall certify that it
complies with the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its related
regulations. This requirement shall apply to all electronic or information technology, including, but not

and applications, telecommunications products, video or multimedia products, self-contained
closed products such as copiers, and desktop and portable computers.
Each contract with such a vendor shall contain the following provision:
"The vendor hereby warrants that the products or services to be provided under this
agreement comply with the accessibility requirements of Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and its implementing regulations. Vendor agrees
to respond promptly to and resolve any complaints regarding accessibility of its products
or services that are brought to its attention. Vendor further agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the District from and against any claim arising out of its failure to comply with
these requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements shall constitute a breach
and be grounds for termination of this agreement."
