The selected Share Ride and Limousine Service Concessionaire (Concessionaire) shall have the non-exclusive right to operate a limousine common carriage and shared ride service for the purpose of transporting airline passengers to and from the Terminals at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (Airport) and such other points at the Airport as may be subsequently designated by the Aviation Department, to all points in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties for a term of five (5) years. During the term of the Agreement, it is anticipated that the form of privilege fee will change from a privilege fee based on the greater of a per capita charge versus a Minimum Annual Guarantee to a privilege fee based on the greater of a per-trip fee versus a Minimum Annual Guarantee. When and if the County determines that such a change will be undertaken, the Concessionaire shall be given the chance to opt out of the Agreement with one (1) year notice to the County. The selected Concessionaire shall be responsible for providing sufficient service vehicles to meet arriving passengers at all Terminals at the Airport on a 24-hour basis and shall be capable of obtaining any required licenses or authorizations to do business in the State of Florida and Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties.

The following table presents the differences anticipated between the operations at the commencement of the Agreement and the projected operations under the GTP, subject to the award of the GTM agreement. Please note that these are anticipated changes to operations and the differences will be more completely defined upon the approval of the GTP provided by the GTM.

Upon Commencement of the Agreement Under GTPConcessionaire will operate from a County-supplied kiosk within each terminal, selling tickets and organizing trips for potential passengers. The Concessionaire will be required to provide point of sale equipment for each kiosk location.

Vehicles must wait in the assigned staging area until summoned by the Concessionaire’s starter on the curb.

Review ResponsesThe Aviation Department delivers the submittals to agency staff for summarization for the EC members.

Agency staff will prepare an analysis report which includes a matrix of responses submitted by the firms.

Staff will also identify any incomplete responses.

The final determination of responsiveness rests solely on the decision of the Evaluation Committee.

9. Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (ACDBE) Requirements:

The Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) regulation (49CFR Part 23) establishes requirements for setting an overall goal for ACDBE participation in all concessions activities. This rule requires recipients of Federal funds to use a methodology based on demonstrable data of relevant market conditions and is designed to reach a goal the recipient would expect ACDBE’s to achieve in the absence of discrimination.

Broward County has a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved non-discriminatory management agreements and corresponding County policy governing ACDBE participation in County agreements and other selected activities, which includes management agreements. The Concession Agreement package as defined in this RFP solicitation has been designated as follows:

In accordance with the Act, participation for this agreement is as follows:

Business Enterprise Category % of Participation GoalAirport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) 14%Overall Goal 14%

It is the policy of Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development Division to ensure that Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ACDBE’s), as defined in 49 CFR Part 23, are afforded and can compete fairly for opportunities as subconcessionaires and/or subcontractors and suppliers on all agreements awarded by the County. Therefore, good-faith efforts must be made to provide ACDBE’s an opportunity to participate in the project in accordance with the ACDBE Program Plan.

The Respondent shall submit, as part of its proposal, a detailed ACDBE participation plan on how the ACDBE goal will be achieved or exceeded. The County uses the interested firm’s submittal to this section of the RFP to determine the firm’s “responsiveness.”  The County only considers “responsive” submittals for short-listing.  To be considered responsive requires the following actions.  Submit the forms and documentation detailed below and attached to this RFP (Attachment 3a “ACDBE Schedule of Participation”, Attachment 3b “ACDBE Letters of Intent” and Attachment 3c “ACDBE Unavailability Report”). Forms are also available on the Internet at:  www.broward.org/smallbusiness/compliance.htm.  If the firm does not have access to the Internet, contact the Project Manager to receive copies by mail or fax. 

Each ACDBE listed on the Schedule of ACDBE Participation must be certified prior to bid submittal as ACDBE in order to be counted towards the total level of participation.

Note: DBE firms certified under Federal Regulations CFR 49 Part 26 are eligible to participate as an ACDBE provided they meet the eligibility standards under CFR 49 Part 23.

Attendance at any pre-submission meeting; Timely advertisement in minority/women-owned general circulation media, trade association

The County may at any time temporarily or permanently close or consent to or request the closing of any entrance or other roadway, and any other area at the Airport presently or hereafter used as a roadway. The Concessionaire hereby releases and discharges the County, its successors and assigns, of and from any and all claims, demands or causes of action which the Concessionaire may now or at any time hereafter have against any of the foregoing arising or alleged to arise out of the closing of any street, roadway, or other area used as such, whether within or outside the Airport.

3.12 In the event the Aviation Department deems it desirable that Concessionaire operate at different location(s) than that reflected in "Exhibit A," as may be revised from time to time, Concessionaire shall be required to use such reassigned location(s) and Concessionaire shall use such location(s) so assigned without expense to the County, and without any abatement of any of the sums payable by Concessionaire to County hereunder.

Concessionaire believes it will suffer as a result of the relocation. After meeting with Concessionaire, the Director of Aviation, in the Director’s sole discretion, will determine whether any adjustment decreasing or increasing the Privilege Fees is warranted. If an adjustment to the Privilege Fees is warranted, then an amendment to this Agreement reflecting such change shall be executed by the Concessionaire, and any such amendment must be approved by the Board.

3.13 If additional storage or support space is available, and at the option of the County, the Concessionaire may lease additional storage space identified by the County as available for such purpose, at an annual rate to be paid monthly and in an amount at least equal to the then current rate on a per square foot basis for similar or equivalent space. In such event, this Agreement must be amended to reflect the additional storage space and the rental rate therefore. The Director of Aviation is authorized to execute any such amendment based on rental rates and/or charges promulgated by the County for the Airport Terminals.

3.14 The County, while providing parking facilities to the Concessionaire's employees in common with employees of other concessionaires and users of the Airport, retains the right, at the sole election of the County, to impose a reasonable charge for the privilege of utilizing these parking facilities, as may be permitted by the County.

The Concessionaire shall not be entitled to any adjustment of any Privilege Fees or other payments hereunder on account of the condition of any improvements or any failure of any improvements to be in working order or because of any necessity of Concessionaire to repair or take corrective actions with respect to any improvements or because of the inability of obtaining or any delay in obtaining any required approvals from any governmental body having jurisdiction, including but not limited to County agencies.

If Concessionaire or any such claimant shall fail to effect such removal of such Personalty forthwith, County may, at its option, without liability to Concessionaire or those claiming under Concessionaire, remove such Personalty and may store the same for the account of Concessionaire or of the owner thereof at any place selected by County, or, at County’s election, and upon fifteen (15) calendar days written notice to Concessionaire as to date, time and location of sale, County may sell the same at public auction or private sale on such terms and conditions as to price, payment and otherwise as County in its sole discretion may deem advisable. If, in County’s judgment, the cost of removing and storing or the cost of removing and selling any such personal effects exceeds the value thereof or the probable sale price thereof, as the case may be, County shall have the right to dispose of such goods in any manner County may deem advisable. Concessionaire shall be responsible for all costs of removal, storage and sale, and County shall have the right to reimburse itself from the proceeds of any sale for all such costs paid or incurred by County. If any surplus sale proceeds shall remain after such reimbursement, County may deduct from such surplus any other sum due to County hereunder and shall pay over to Concessionaire any remaining balance of such surplus sale proceeds. If the expenses of such removal, storage and sale shall exceed the proceeds of sale, Concessionaire shall pay such excess to the County upon demand.

6.9 During any installation, maintenance, or repair of any Personalty at or on Airport premises, Concessionaire will insure that Concessionaire’s installation, maintenance or repair shall take place, whenever possible, during hours of minimum passenger and visitor activity and at such hours as approved by the Aviation Department.

7.2 Pursuant to Concessionaire’s response to the RFP, in the first Contract Year, Concessionaire agrees to pay the County a MAG of Dollars ($ ), which shall be payable in monthly installments.

7.2.1 Thereafter and for the remaining term of this Agreement, the MAG shall be established as eighty-five percent (85%) of the total sums payable to the County as Privilege Fees during the previous Contract Year.

7.2.2 By July 1 of each Contract Year, beginning with the second Contract Year of the Agreement, the Aviation Department shall prepare an accounting of previous Contract Years’ Privilege Fees, the amounts paid, and a calculation of the MAG for the forthcoming Contract Year. Until the MAG is so established, the monthly installment of MAG due hereunder shall remain in the amount due for the immediately preceding Contract Year. Upon receipt of the calculation by the Concessionaire, Concessionaire shall remit, within thirty (30) calendar days, any MAG amounts that were underpaid for the current year.

7.2.3 The MAG shall never be less than ___________ Dollars ($X,XXX,000.00) per Contract Year.

7.2.4 The MAG shall be due to the County in monthly installments equal to 1/12 of the MAG for the applicable Contract Year, payable on the first day of each month in advance without billing, with the first such installment being due on May 1, 2012.

7.3 Until a Per Trip Fee is effective pursuant to section 7.4 below, the Concessionaire shall pay to the Aviation Department a fee which shall be the Per Capita Charge, in the amount of $0.0461 multiplied by the total number of arriving passengers at the Airport during the month, regardless of whether any such arriving passengers actually use the services of Concessionaire. For purposes of the above computation, the total number of arriving passengers at the Airport shall be computed by the Aviation Department based solely on the information it receives from air carriers arriving at the Airport and the Aviation Department's determination as to such number shall be final.

7.3.1 On a monthly basis, the Aviation Department will inform the Concessionaire of the number of passengers arriving at the Airport during the previous month, and will invoice the Concessionaire for the difference between the MAG and the Per Capita Charge multiplied by the number of

Page 74: SHARED RIDE and LIMOUSINE SERVICE CONCESSION Web viewConstruction General ... a firm to provide ground transportation management ... section by typing right into the document using

14

arriving passengers at the Airport, if such amount is greater than the MAG. Such payment will be due to the County within thirty (30) calendar days of the sending of an invoice for the difference.

7.3.2 The Per Capita Charge is not subject to adjustment, regardless of whether actual passenger counts reach any projected levels during any Contract Year or during any other period of time and regardless of whether any other projections or estimates are accurate.

7.4 Upon thirty (30) days written notification by the Aviation Department to the Concessionaire advising of a change in the ground transportation methodology for the Airport and the assumption of control by a GTM selected by the County, then following such written notice, the Concessionaire shall pay to the Aviation Department the greater of (1) a monthly aggregated Per Trip Fee as established in Chapter 39 of the Broward County Administrative Code, or (2) the MAG.

7.4.1 On a monthly basis, the Aviation Department will inform the Concessionaire of the number of trips made by Concessionaire’s vehicles during the previous month, and will invoice the Concessionaire for the difference between the monthly MAG payment and the Per Trip Fee multiplied by the number of trips made by Concessionaire’s vehicles during the month, if such amount is greater than the MAG.

7.4.2 Such payment will be due to the County within thirty (30) calendar days of the sending of an invoice for the difference.

7.5 Concessionaire shall keep and maintain copies of all invoices, cash receipts, financial records, supporting records, supporting documents, statistical records, general ledgers, sales journals and all other documents pertinent to this Agreement (collectively, "books and records"). The books and records of Concessionaire shall, among other things, show all sales and charges made for cash, or credit, or otherwise, without regard to whether paid or not, all labor, overhead and all sales taxes collected, and also, the gross revenues of said business, and the aggregate amount of all sales and services and orders of all the Concessionaire’s business done upon or within the premises of, or in connection with, this Concession Agreement. Concessionaire further agrees to keep its books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and agrees to maintain such other books and records as the County may request. The Concessionaire shall keep separate books and records for its Airport operations.

7.5.1 The Concessionaire’s books and records shall be kept and maintained during the "Retention Period" (as hereinafter defined). The "Retention Period" is defined as the greater of: (i) the required retention period of the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119, Fla. Stat.), if applicable, or (ii)

15

the period of time covering the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof and for a period of three (3) years after the expiration of this Agreement, or (iii) if any audit has been initiated and audit findings have not been resolved at the end of the three years, the books and records shall be retained until resolution of the audit findings. If the Florida Public Records Act is determined by County to be applicable to Concessionaire’s records, Concessionaire shall comply with all requirements thereof; however, no confidentiality or non-disclosure requirement of either federal or state law shall be violated by Concessionaire. Concessionaire shall make all books and records required to be maintained hereunder available to the County at the Airport, or at the corporate headquarters of the Concessionaire, as may be directed by the County.

7.5.2 The County shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to Concessionaire at any time during the Retention Period, to review, inspect, and/or audit the Concessionaire’s books and records relating to the Concessionaire’s operations pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that any audit reflects that the total Privilege Fees actually paid by Concessionaire during any year exceeds the Privilege Fees due and owing for such year, then a refund or credit (as determined by the Aviation Department) will be made by the County to Concessionaire of the amount of such difference. In the event that any audit reflects that the total Privilege Fees actually paid by Concessionaire during such year shall be less than the Privilege Fees due and owing for such year, then Concessionaire shall immediately pay the difference to the County with interest thereon at eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date such additional Privilege Fees were due. If as the result of any audit conducted or obtained by the County, it is established that the Concessionaire has understated the amounts owed to the County in any report filed with the County, by ten percent (10%) or more of amounts paid to the County during a reporting period, then the entire expense of the audit shall be borne by the Concessionaire.

7.6 Licenses, Fees and Taxes. Concessionaire shall pay, on or before their respective due dates, all federal, state, County, and local taxes and fees, and all special assessments of any kind, which are now or may hereafter be levied upon any premises used by Concessionaire or the estate hereby granted, or upon Concessionaire, or upon the business conducted by Concessionaire, or upon any of Concessionaire's property used in connection therewith, or upon any sums payable hereunder, including, but not limited to any ad valorem, tangible property or intangible property taxes, and sales or excise taxes on any sums payable hereunder.

7.8 Late Payments - Interest. The County shall be entitled to collect interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date due until the date paid on any amounts that are past due under this Agreement. The right of the County to require payment of such interest and the obligation of the Concessionaire to pay same shall be in addition to and not in lieu of the right of the County to enforce other provisions herein, including termination of this Agreement, and to pursue other remedies provided by law.

7.9 Other Fees and Charges. The Concessionaire acknowledges that the County has or will establish, from time to time, various fees and charges for the use of various facilities, equipment and services provided by the County and not leased to or specifically provided to the Concessionaire hereunder, and the procedures relating to payment of same. The Concessionaire shall pay for its use of such facilities, equipment and services at the rates and in the manner prescribed by the County.

7.10 Additional Rent and Charges. If the County is required or elects to pay any sum or sums or incur any obligations or expense by reason of the failure, neglect or refusal of Concessionaire to perform or fulfill any one or more of the conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or as a result of any act or omission of the Concessionaire contrary to said conditions, covenants or agreements, Concessionaire agrees to pay the sum or sums so paid by the County or the expense so incurred by the County, including all interest, costs, damages and penalties, and the same may be added to any installment payment thereafter due hereunder, and each and every part of the same shall be and become additional privilege fees recoverable by the County in the same manner and with like remedies as if it were originally a part of the privilege fees payable under this Agreement. All such sums of money shall be paid by Concessionaire within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand therefore.

7.11 Dishonored Check or Draft. In the event the Concessionaire delivers a dishonored check or draft to the County in payment of any obligation arising under this Agreement, the Concessionaire shall incur and pay a service charge in the amount established by the County from time to time. In such event, the Aviation Department may require that future payments be made by cashier’s

8.7.2 Variations from the operating hour’s requirements must be approved in writing by the Aviation Department prior to any implementation of said change.

8.7.3 The operating hours shall be prominently posted at each Kiosk. Such operating hour’s signage must be permanent in appearance. The posting of operating hours, however, does not negate the contractual requirement for adherence to Section 8.7 herein.

20

Concessionaire shall take all steps necessary to eliminate the conditions which have occasioned such judgment.

Before a SIDA Badge is issued to an employee, Concessionaire shall comply with the requirements of applicable federal regulations with regard to employment history, verification and criminal history checks, and shall require that each employee complete the SIDA training program conducted by the Aviation Department. The Concessionaire shall pay or cause to be paid to the Aviation Department such charges as may be established from time to time for lost or stolen SIDA Badges and those not returned to the Aviation Department in accordance with this section. The Aviation Department shall have the right to require the Concessionaire to conduct background investigations and to furnish certain data on such employees before the issuance of SIDA Badges, which data may include the fingerprinting of employee applicants for such badges.

14.3 Operation of Vehicles on the AOA. Before the Concessionaire shall permit any employee of Concessionaire to operate a motor vehicle of any kind or type on the AOA (and unless escorted by an Aviation Department approved escort), the Concessionaire shall ensure that all such vehicle operators possess current, valid, and appropriate Florida Driver’s licenses. In addition, any motor vehicles and equipment of Concessionaire operating on the AOA must have an appropriate vehicle identification permit issued by the Aviation Department, which identification must be displayed as required by the Aviation Department.

14.4 Consent to Search/Inspection. The Concessionaire agrees that its vehicles, cargo, goods and other personal property are subject to being inspected and searched when attempting to enter or leave and while on the AOA. The Concessionaire further agrees that it shall not authorize any employee or other person to enter the AOA unless and until such employee or other person has executed a written consent-to-search/inspection form acceptable to the Aviation Department. Concessionaire acknowledges and understands that the foregoing requirements are for the protection of users of the Airport and are intended to reduce incidents of cargo tampering, aircraft sabotage, thefts and other unlawful activities at the Airport. For this reason, Concessionaire agrees that persons not executing such consent-to-search/inspection form shall not be employed by the

Page 100: SHARED RIDE and LIMOUSINE SERVICE CONCESSION Web viewConstruction General ... a firm to provide ground transportation management ... section by typing right into the document using

40

Concessionaire at the Airport in any position requiring access to the AOA or allowed entry to the AOA by the Concessionaire.

14.5 The provisions of this Article XIV shall survive the expiration or any other termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XVHOLDING OVER

1515.1 It is agreed and understood that any holding over of Concessionaire after the

termination of this Agreement shall not renew and extend same, but shall operate and be construed as a license from month to month. Without any further notice other than the notice established by this provision, Concessionaire shall be required to pay to the County during any holdover period, monthly license fees which shall be equal to double the amount of the monthly payment of Privilege Fees that was due and payable for the month immediately preceding the termination date of this Agreement. In addition, Concessionaire shall be required to pay to County any other charges required to be paid hereunder during any such holdover period. Concessionaire shall be liable to the County for all loss or damage on account of any such holding over against the County’s will after the termination of this Agreement, whether such loss or damage may be contemplated at the execution of this Agreement or not. It is expressly agreed that acceptance of the foregoing payments by the County in the event that Concessionaire fails or refuses to surrender possession shall not operate or give Concessionaire any right to remain in possession nor shall it constitute a waiver by the County of its right to immediate possession of the premises.

ARTICLE XVIFIRE AND OTHER DAMAGE

1616.1 In the event that structural or permanent portions of the Assigned Areas shall be

partially damaged by fire or other casualty, the Concessionaire shall give immediate notice thereof to the County and the same shall be repaired at the expense of the Concessionaire without unreasonable delay unless County determines that the damage is so extensive that the repair or rebuilding is not feasible.

16.2 If the Concessionaire fails to make the necessary repairs in a timely manner as determined by the Aviation Department, then Aviation Department may, at its option, cause such repairs to be completed and Concessionaire shall reimburse the Aviation Department for the costs and expenses incurred in such repair, plus an administrative fee as permissible under Broward County Administrative Code

3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.19.1 Nondiscrimination Requirements. The Concessionaire agrees to comply with the

nondiscrimination requirements set forth on "Exhibit C," attached hereto and made a part hereof, to the extent same are applicable by law, rule or regulation, or federal grant requirements.

19.1.1 Concessionaire’s decisions regarding the delivery of services under

Page 103: SHARED RIDE and LIMOUSINE SERVICE CONCESSION Web viewConstruction General ... a firm to provide ground transportation management ... section by typing right into the document using

43

this Agreement shall be made without regard to or consideration of race, age, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation (Broward County Code, Chapter 16½), national origin, marital status, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, or any other factor which cannot be lawfully used as a basis for service delivery.

19.1.2 Concessionaire shall not engage in or commit any discriminatory practice in violation of the Broward County Human Rights Act (Broward County Code, Chapter 16½) in performing any services pursuant to this Agreement.

19.1.3 Concessionaire shall not unlawfully discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, age, color, sex or National origin, sexual orientation (including but not limited to Broward County Code, Chapter 16½), marital status, political affiliation, or physical or mental disability if qualified. Concessionaire shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment without regard to their race, religion, color, sex or national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, political affiliation, or physical or mental disability. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection of training, including apprenticeship. Concessionaire agrees to post in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.

19.1.4 County shall also require that any contractor selected to perform work on a County project include the foregoing or similar language in its contracts with any subcontractors, except that any project assisted by U.S. Department of Transportation funds shall comply with the non-discrimination requirements in 49 C.F.R. Parts 23 and 26, as amended. Subcontractors, if any, will be made aware of and will comply with this nondiscrimination clause. Failure to comply with above requirements is a material breach of the Agreement, and may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as County deems appropriate.

19.1.5 Concessionaire shall comply with Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act regarding nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in employment and further shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, age, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, political affiliation, or physical or mental disability. In addition, Concessionaire shall take affirmative steps to ensure nondiscrimination in employment against

Page 104: SHARED RIDE and LIMOUSINE SERVICE CONCESSION Web viewConstruction General ... a firm to provide ground transportation management ... section by typing right into the document using

44

disabled persons. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff, termination, rates of pay, other forms of compensation, terms and conditions of employment, training (including apprenticeship), and accessibility.

19.1.6 By execution of this Agreement, Concessionaire represents that it has not been placed on the discriminatory vendor list (as provided in Section 287.134, Florida Statutes). County hereby materially relies on such representation in entering into this Agreement. An untrue representation of the foregoing shall entitle County to terminate this Agreement and may result in debarment from County’s competitive procurement activities.

19.2 Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. The Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) regulations (49CFR Part 23) establish requirements for setting an overall goal for ACDBE participation in all concessions activities. This rule requires recipients of Federal funds to use a methodology based on demonstrable data of relevant market conditions and is designed to reach a goal the recipient would expect ACDBE’s to achieve in the absence of discrimination. This Agreement is subject to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation's regulations, 49 CFR Part 23, Subpart F and 49 CFR Part 26. The Concessionaire agrees that it will not discriminate against any business owner because of the owner's race, gender, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, political affiliation, age or physical or mental disability in connection with the award or performance of this Agreement, which is covered by 49 CFR, Part 23, Subpart F and 49 CFR Part 26. The Concessionaire agrees to include the above statements in any subsequent agreements that it enters into for services under this Agreement and shall cause those businesses to similarly include the statements in further agreements.

Broward County has a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved non-discriminatory management agreements and corresponding County policy governing ACDBE participation in County contracts and other selected activities, which includes management contracts. Broward County has established a policy relating to Disadvantaged Business Enterprises ("DBE") participation in all County contracts and other selected activities, which includes concessions under an Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ACDBE) program. In order for the concession to be considered an ACDBE under the Federal Requirement, firms must be certified ACDBE.

It is the policy of Broward County to ensure that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR Part 23, can compete fairly for opportunities as sub-concessionaires, suppliers on all contracts awarded by the County to ensure a level playing field.

Contract Assurances: The following clauses pertaining to compliance with 49 C.F.R. Part 23 are a part of this Agreement with Broward County and shall be incorporated into the terms of your solicitations, subcontracts, material supply contracts and purchase orders. In the event the following clauses conflict with any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, the clauses set forth in this Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise provision shall control:

Nondiscrimination; Remedies - The Concessionaire or sub-concessionaire shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The Concessionaire shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 23 in the award and administration of USDOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Concessionaire to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate.

Participation by DBEs – It is the policy of Broward County that DBE firms, as defined herein, can compete fairly for opportunities as sub-concessionaires, suppliers on all contracts awarded by the County to ensure a level playing field and other contracts funded in whole or in part by the FAA, FHWA, or FDOT. The Concessionaire hereby agrees to take all necessary and reasonable steps, including compliance with the matters set forth in the ACDBE Section, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 23, as amended, to ensure that the DBE firms have fair opportunity to compete for and perform contracts.

Prompt Payment - The Concessionaire hereby agrees to pay its sub-concessionaires and suppliers within ten (10) days following receipt of the supplies. A finding of nonpayment to sub-concessionaires and suppliers is a material breach of this Agreement. The Concessionaire shall include the foregoing prompt payment language in all of its contracts with sub-concessionaires who participate on federally funded County projects. Designated Staff of the OESBD will conduct meetings with parties involved in prompt payment disputes to facilitate an amicable resolution.

Contract Compliance Monitoring -- Compliance monitoring is conducted to determine if Concessionaire, sub-concessionaires and/or subcontractors are complying with the requirements of the ACDBE Program. Failure of the Concessionaire to comply with this provision may result in the County imposing penalties or sanctions pursuant to the provisions of the DBE regulation, 49 CFR Part 23 and 26 and the County’s Business Opportunity Act of 2004, Ordinance 2004-07. Contract compliance will encompass monitoring for contract dollar achievement and ACDBE Concessionaire and/or any DBE subcontractors utilization. The

46

Office of Economic and Small Business Development shall have the authority to audit and monitor all contracts and contract-related documents related to Broward County projects. The requirements of the ACDBE Program are applicable to all Concessionaire, general Concessionaires and sub-concessionaires. Concessionaire shall be responsible for ensuring proper documentation with regard to its utilization and payment of DBE subcontractors.

The Concessionaire shall inform the County immediately when a ACDBE sub-concessionaire and/or DBE subcontractor is not able to perform or if the Concessionaire believes the DBE sub-concessionaire and/or DBE subcontractor should be replaced for any other reason, so that the Office of Economic and Small Business Development may review and verify the good faith efforts of the Concessionaire to substitute the ACDBE sub-concessionaire and/or subcontractor with another ACDBE sub-concessionaire. The Concessionaire may change its ACDBE sub-concessionaire and/or subcontractor only upon receiving the prior approval of the Office of Economic and Small Business Development.

Concessionaire’s ACDBE participation plan is set forth in "Exhibit F" attached hereto and made a part hereof. Subject to the approval of the OESBD, said participation plan may be revised and updated by the Concessionaire, and upon OESBD’s approval, "Exhibit F" shall be revised and replaced.

19.3 Concessionaire shall submit, within twenty (20) days of the end of each calendar quarter, a report detailing its ACDBE participation for the previous calendar quarter, on a form provided by the County’s Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD). This report shall be submitted to:

In addition, nothing herein shall be considered zoning by contract.

53

Materials contained, removed and abated, the County or any of its agencies may upon reasonable notice to Concessionaire (which notice shall be written unless an emergency condition exists) undertake the removal of the Materials; however, any such action by the County or any of its agencies shall not relieve the Concessionaire of its obligations under this or any other provision of this Agreement or as imposed by law. No action taken by either the Concessionaire or the County to contain or remove Materials, or to abate a release, whether such action is taken voluntarily or not, shall be construed as an admission of liability as to the source of or the person who caused the pollution or its release. As use in this Agreement, "Concessionaire's operations" and "Concessionaire's actions" and words of similar import, shall include all actions and inaction by Concessionaire or by any of its officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, invitees, or agents.

EXHIBIT CNONDISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS

I. During the performance of this contract, the Contractor for itself, its personal representatives, assigns and successors in interest (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Contractor") agrees as follows:

(a) Compliance With Regulations. The Contractor shall comply with the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Transportation (hereinafter, "DOT") Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, as they may be amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract.

(b) Nondiscrimination. The Contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The Contractor shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the Regulations, including employment practices when the contract covers a program set forth in Appendix B of the Regulations.

(c) Solicitation for Subcontracts, Including Procurement of Materials and Equipment. In all solicitation either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the Contractor for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurement of materials or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by the Contractor of the Contractor's obligation under this contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation.

(d) Information and Reports. The Contractor shall provide all information and reports required by the Regulations or directives issued pursuant thereto and shall permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the County or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with such Regulations, orders, and instructions. Where any information required of Contractor is in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this information, the Contractor shall so certify to the County or the FAA, as appropriate, and shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information.

(e) Sanctions for Noncompliance. In the event of the Contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination provisions of this contract, the County shall impose such contract sanctions as it or the FAA may determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to: (1) withholding of payments under the

Page 125: SHARED RIDE and LIMOUSINE SERVICE CONCESSION Web viewConstruction General ... a firm to provide ground transportation management ... section by typing right into the document using

2

contract until there is compliance, and/or (2) cancellation, termination, or suspension of the contract, in whole or in part. In the event of cancellation or termination of the contract (if such contract is a lease), the COUNTY shall have the right to re-enter the Premises as if said lease had never been made or issued. These provisions shall not be effective until the procedures of Title 49 CFR Part 21 are followed and completed, including exercise or expiration of appeal rights.

(f) Incorporation of Provisions. The Contractor shall include the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (e), above, in every subcontract, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the Regulations or directives issued pursuant thereto. The Contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract or procurement as the County or the FAA may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance. Provided, however, that in the event Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or supplier as a result of such direction, the Contractor may request the County to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the County and, in addition, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

(g) The Contractor, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree that in the event facilities are constructed, maintained, or otherwise operated on the said property described in this contract, for a purpose for which a DOT program or activity is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, the Contractor shall maintain and operate such facilities and services in compliance with all other requirements imposed pursuant to 49 CFR Part 21, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Transportation, and as said Regulation may be amended.

(h) The Contractor, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree that: (1) no person on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use of said facilities, (2) that in the construction of any improvements on, over, or under the premises and the furnishing of services thereon, no person on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination, and (3) that the Contractor shall use the premises in compliance with all other requirements imposed by or pursuant to 49 CFR Part 21, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Transportation, and as said Regulations may be amended.

II. During the performance of this contract, the Contractor, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest agrees as follows:

The Contractor agrees to undertake an affirmative action program as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to insure that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation be excluded from participation in any employment, contracting, or leasing activities covered in 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E. The Contractor agrees that no person shall be excluded on these grounds from participating in or receiving the services or benefits of any program or activity covered by this Subpart. The Contractor agrees that it will require its covered sub-organizations to provide assurances to the Contractor that they similarly will undertake affirmative action programs and that they will require assurances from their sub-organizations as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to the same effect.

The Contractor agrees to comply with any affirmative action plan or steps for equal employment opportunity required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, as part of the affirmative action program, and by any federal, state, County or local agency or court, including those resulting from a conciliation agreement, a consent decree, court order or similar mechanism. The Contractor agrees that state or County affirmative action plans will be used in lieu of any affirmative action plan or steps required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, only when they fully meet the standards set forth in 14 CFR 152.409. The Contractor agrees to obtain a similar assurance from its covered organizations, and to cause them to require a similar assurance of their covered sub-organizations, as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E.

If required by 14 CFR Part 152, Contractor shall prepare and keep on file for review by the FAA Office of Civil Rights an affirmative action plan developed in accordance with the standards in Part 152. The Contractor shall similarly require each of its covered sub-organizations (if required under Part 152) to prepare and to keep on file for review by the FAA Office of Civil Rights, an affirmative action plan developed in accordance with the standards in Part 152.

If Contractor is not subject to an affirmative action plan, regulatory goals and timetables, or other mechanism providing for short and long-range goals for equal employment opportunity under Part 152, then Contractor shall nevertheless make good faith efforts to recruit and hire minorities and women for its aviation workforce as vacancies occur, by taking any affirmative action steps required by Part 152. Contractor shall similarly require such affirmative action steps of any of its covered sub-organizations, as required under Part 152.

Contractor shall keep on file, for the period set forth in Part 152, reports (other than those submitted to the FAA), records, and affirmative action plans, if

Page 127: SHARED RIDE and LIMOUSINE SERVICE CONCESSION Web viewConstruction General ... a firm to provide ground transportation management ... section by typing right into the document using

4

applicable, that will enable the FAA Office of Civil Rights to ascertain if there has been and is compliance with this subpart, and Contractor shall require its covered sub-organizations to keep similar records as applicable.

Contractor shall, if required by Part 152, annually submit to the County the reports required by Section 152.415 and Contractor shall cause each of its covered sub-organizations that are covered by Part 152 to annually submit the reports required by Section 152.415 to the Contractor who shall, in turn, submit same to the County for transmittal to the FAA.

III. The Contractor, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest agrees that it will comply with pertinent statutes, Executive Orders and such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from Federal assistance. This "Provision" obligates the Contractor or its transferee, for the period during which Federal assistance is extended to the airport program, except where Federal assistance is to provide, or is in the form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures or improvements thereon. In these cases, the Provision obligates the party or any transferee for the longer of the following periods: (a) the period during which the property is used by the sponsor or any transferee for a purpose for which Federal assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits; or (b) the period during which the airport sponsor or any transferee retains ownership or possession of the property. In the case of contractors, this Provision binds the contractors from the bid solicitation period through the completion of the contract.

(i) Contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation in the performance of this contract. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the County deems appropriate.
