I have a contract with California State agency to provide Maintenance and Repair services to their Medical Equipment. This two-year Contract is nearing its expiry date. I have been performing my duties to the customer's satisfaction. However, when I asked the Government Agency to give me a Reference Letter basically stating the contract facts and testifying that my services were satisfactory they responded by saying that their policy is not to give such letters to vendors.
My question: Am I not entitled to a statement from my customer, the Government Agency with whom I have the contract, to state whether or not I have satisfactorily fulfilled my contractual obligations? Isn't this within my legal rights under the California Public Contract Code?
I need such reference letter to submit with future bids to the State. Such letters are normally required to complete the bid submittal.
Thank you for your help!
Trademarking for Business
I am just starting out on (hopefully) forming an online business. I design Tshirts. Just wondering the best way to go about Trademarking my brand. Also, do I need to protect my designs or would they be covered under the brand trademark?
