The Project Manager or Consultant may at times issue field directives to the Contractor
based on visits to the Project(s) Site(s). Such Field Directives shall be issued in writing and
the Contractor shall be required to comply with the directive. Where the Contractor
believes that the directive is outside the scope of the Work, the Contractor shall, within 48
hours, notify the Project Manager or Consultant that the work is outside the scope of the

.to submit a request for a change to. the Contract. Where the Contractor is notified of the
City's position that the Work is within the scope and the Contractor disagrees, the
Contractor shall notify the Project Manager or Consultant that the Contractor reserves the
right to make a claim for the time and monies based on the Field Directive. At no time shall
the Contractor refuse to comply with the directive. Failure to comply with the directive may
result in a determination that the Contractor is in default of the Contract.
54. Changes in the Work or Contract Documents
Without invalidating the Contract Documents and without notice to any Surety, City
reserves and shall have the right, from time to time to make such increases, decreases or
other changes in the character or quantity of the Work under the Contract Documents as
may be considered necessary or desirable to complete fully and acceptably the proposed
construction of a Project in a satisfactory manner. Any extra or additional Work within the
scope of the Project(s) must be accomplished by means of appropriate Field Orders and
Supplemental Instructions or Change Orders.
Any changes to the terms of the Contract Documents must be contained in a written
document, executed by the parties hereto. This section shall not prohibit the issuance of
Change Orders executed only by City.
55. Continuing the Work
Contractor shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule during all disputes
or disagreements with City, including disputes or disagreements concerning a request for a
Change Order, a request for a change in the Contract Price or Contract Time for
completion. The Work shall not be delayed or postponed pending resolution of any
disputes or disagreements.
56. Change Orders
Changes in the quantity or character of the Work within the scope of the Project(s) which
are not properly the subject of Field Orders or Supplemental Instructions, including all
changes resulting in changes in the Contract Price, or the Contract Time, shall be
authorized only by Change Orders approved in advance and issued in accordance with the
provisions of the City.
In the event satisfactory adjustment cannot be reached for any item requiring a change in
the Contract Price or Contract Time, and a Change Order has not been issued, City
reserves the right at its sole option to either terminate the Contract as it applies to the items
in question and make such arrangements as may be deemed necessary to complete the
disputed work; or submit the matter in dispute to the Director as set forth in Article 91,
Resolution of Disputes. During the pendency of the dispute, and upon receipt of a Change
Order approved by City, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work
involved and advise the Project Manager, Consultant, and Director in writing within seven
(7) calendar days of Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any,
provided in the Change Order for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract
Price or Contract Time.
On approval of any Contract change increasing the Contract Price, Contractor shall ensure
that the performance bond and payment bond (if applicable) are increased so that each
reflects the total Contract Price as increased.
44
Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020
NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
Under circumstances determined necessary by City, Change Orders may be issued
unilaterally by City.
The City reserves the right to order changes which may result in additions to or reductions
from the amount, type or value of the Work shown in the Contract and which are within the
general scope of the Contract Documents. Any such changes will be known as Extra Work.
No Extra Work shall be performed except pursuant to written orders of the Project Manager
or Consultant expressly and unmistakably indicating his/her intention to treat the Work
described therein as Extra Work. In the absence of such an order, the Project Manager or
Consultant may direct, order or require the Contractor to perform any Work including that
which the Contractor deems to be Extra Work. The Contractor shall nevertheless comply
and shall promptly and in no event after, begin the performance thereof or incur cost
attributable thereto and give written notice to the Project Manager stating why he deems
such Work (hereinafter "Disputed Work") to be Extra Work. Said notice is for the purposes
of (1) affording an opportunity to the Project Manager to cancel such order, direction or
requirements promptly;. (2) affording an opportunity to the Project Manager to keep an
accurate record of materials, labor and other items involved; and (3) affording an
opportunity to the City to take such action as it may deem advisable in light of such
disputed Work.
57. Change Order Procedure
Extra Work shall result in an equitable adjustment (increase or decrease) to the Contract
representing the reasonable cost or the reasonable financial savings related to the change
in Work. Extra Work may also result in an equitable adjustment in the Contract schedule
for performance for both the Extra Work and any other Work affected by the Extra Work.
The City shall initiate the Extra Work procedure by a notice to Contractor outlining the
proposed Extra Work. Upon receipt of the notice to proceed with the Extra Work, the
Contractor is required to immediately start the Extra Work. The Contractor is required to
obtain permission for an extension to start the Extra Work if it is beyond the Contractor's
ability to start within the allotted timeframe.
The Contractor is required to provide the Project Manager with a detailed Change Proposal
Request, using City Forms CPR Parts A-C (available on the CIP webpage), which shall
include requested revisions to the Contract, including but not limited to adjustments in this
Contract Price and Contract Time. The Contractor is required to provide sufficient data in
support of the cost proposal demonstrating its reasonableness. In furtherance of this
obligation, the City may require that the Contractor submit any or all of the following: a cost
breakdown of material costs, labor costs, labor rates by trade, and Work classification and
overhead rates in support of Contractor's Change Proposal Request. The Contractor's
Change Proposal Request must include any schedule revisions and an explanation of the
cost and schedule impact of the Extra Work on the Project(s). If the Contractor fails to
notify the Project Manager or Consultant of the schedule changes associated with the Extra
Work, it will be deemed to be an acknowledgment by Contractor that the proposed Extra
Work will not have any scheduling consequences. The. Contractor agrees the Change
Proposal Request will in no event include a combined profit and overhead rate in excess of
ten (10%) percent of the direct labor and material costs, unless the Project Manager
determines that the complexity and risk of the Extra Work is such that an additional factor is
appropriate. The Change Proposal Request may be accepted or modified by negotiations
between the Contractor and the City. If an agreement on the Extra Work is reached, both
parties shall execute the Extra Work order in writing via a Change Order. The execution by
the Contractor of the Change Order shall serve as a release of the City from all claims and
liability to the Contractor relating to, or in connection with, the Extra Work, including any
impact, and any prior acts, neglect or default of the City relating to the Extra Work.
45
Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020

Upon execution of a change order that affects the Contract Time the Contractor shall, within
five (5) business days submit a revised Project schedule reflecting the changes against the
baseline schedule.
58. No Oral Changes

modification, termination or discharge of the Contract or, in any form whatsoever,
shall be valid or enforceable unless it is in writing and signed by the parties
charged, therewith or their duly authorized representative.

in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease. When both
additions and credits are involved in any one change, the combined overhead and profit
shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any, however, Contractor shall not be
entitled to claim lost profits for any Work not performed.
Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant to this Article, Contractor will
submit in a form acceptable to Project Manager or Consultant an itemized cost breakdown

Except as provided below, the Contractor shall be entitled to initiate a dispute pursuant to
the Article 91, Resolution of Disputes, by furnishing a written statement to the Project
Manager within five (5) days of the Extra Work Directive, based upon any aspect, of such
Extra Work which the Contractor disputes. Such dispute must relate to specific matters
raised or specific matters reserved by the Contractor in its proposal and have not been
resolved prior to the issuance of the Extra Work Directive. The written statement must set
forth all details of the Contractor's claim including the manner that the disputed item was
specified in the Contractor's proposal. During the pendency of any dispute hereunder, the
Contractor must proceed with Work as set forth in the Extra Work Directive unless

NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
64. Substantial Completion, Punch List, & Final Completion
The Work shall be substantially complete when the Project Manager, in the reasonable
exercise of his/her discretion determines that the Work is complete and there are no
material and/or substantial variations from the Contract Documents and the Work is fit for
its intended purpose. Upon Substantial Completion, the Project Manager and the
Contractor shall sign the Substantial Completion Inspection Form. The signing of this form
shall not relieve the Contractor from its obligation to complete the Project.
When the Contractor believes that the Work is substantially complete, the Contractor shall
request in writing that the Project Manager or Consultant inspect the Work to determine if
Substantial Completion has been achieved. No request for Substantial Completion
inspection is to be submitted until the Contractor has obtained a Certificate(s) of
Occupancy, Certificate of Completion or Use, or a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or
any other approvals from agencies having jurisdiction over the Work. The Project Manager
or Consultant shall schedule the date and time for any inspection and notify the Contractor
and any other parties deemed necessary: During this inspection, the Project Substantial

establish the Date of Substantial Completion. Once substantial completion is achieved the
City shall be responsible for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Project
site, and insurance; and shall list all Work yet to be completed to satisfy the requirements of
the Contract Documents for Final Completion. The failure to include any items of corrective
Work on such list does not alter the responsibility of Contractor to complete all of the Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents. Warranties required by the Contract
Documents shall commence on the date of Final Acceptance completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.
65. Acceptance and Final Payment
Upon receipt of written notice from Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and

the Contractor that any and all training required by the Contract Documents has been
provided to the satisfaction of the Project Manager.
If, after the Work has been substantially completed, full completion thereof is materially
delayed through no fault of Contractor, and Project Manager or Consultant so certifies, City
shall, upon such certification of Consultant, and without terminating the Contract
Documents, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed
and accepted. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final
payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by Contractor,
except those previously made in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract and
identified by Contractor as unsettled at the time of the application for final payment.

completing and paying for any required NPDES application or permits that may be required.
67. Force Majeure
Should any failure to perform on the part of Contractor be due to a condition of force
majeure as that term is interpreted under Florida law, the City may allow an extension of
time reasonably commensurate with the cause of such failure to perform or cure.
If the Contractor is delayed in performing any obligation under the Contract Documents due
to a force majeure condition, the Contractor shall request a time extension from the City
within two (2) working days of said force majeure occurrence. Any time extension shall be
subject to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Contractor for
extra compensation unless additional services are required. Do Not Include inclement
weather except as permitted by Florida law and may not include the acts or omissions of
Sub -contractors.
68. Extension of Time
Any reference in this section to the Contractor shall be deemed to include suppliers, and
permitted Sub -Contractors, whether or not in privities of Contract with the Contractor for the
purpose of this article.
If the Contractor is delayed at any time during the progress of the Work beyond the
Contract Time and/or Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the neglect or failure of the City or by a
52
Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020
NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
Force Majeure, then the Contract Time set forth in the Contract shall be extended by the
City subject to the following conditions:
• The cause of the delay arises after issuance of the NTP and could not have
been anticipated by the Contractor by reasonable investigation before
proceeding with the Work;
• The Contractor demonstrates that the completion of the Work will be actually
and necessarily delayed;
• The effect of such cause cannot be avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all
reasonable precautions, efforts and measures whether before or after the
occurrence of the cause of delay.
Note: A delay meeting all the conditions of the above, .shall be deemed an
Excusable Delay.
The City shall only consider weather related delays where adverse weather directly impacts
the critical path of the Project Schedule. However, the City will also factor in other factor in
considering an extension of time, including the length of the weather delay, and the adverse
weather conditions as they relate to typical weather patterns during the period the Work is
being performed.
The City reserves the right to rescind or shorten any extension previously granted if
subsequently, the Project Manager determines that any information provided by the

apprenticeship, preapprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training."
2. EEO Officer: The Contractor will designate and make known to the SHA
contracting officers an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must
be capable of effectively administering and promoting an active Contractor
program of EEO and who must be assigned adequate authority and
responsibility to do so.
83

NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
3. Dissemination of Policy: All members of the Contractor's staff who, are
authorized to hire, supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or who
recommend such action, or who are substantially involved in such action, will be
made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the Contractor's EEO policy and
contractual responsibilities to provide EEO in each grade and classification of
employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following
actions will be taken as a minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be
conducted before the start of work and then not less often than once
every six months, at which time the Contractor's EEO policy and its
implementation will be reviewed and explained. The meetings will be
conducted by the EEO Officer.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a
thorough indoctrination by the EEO Officer, covering all major aspects of
the Contractor's EEO obligations within thirty days following their
reporting for duty with the Contractor.
c. All personnel who are engaged in direct recruitment for the project will be
instructed by the EEO Officer in the Contractor's procedures for locating
and hiring minority group employees.

among minority groups in the area from which the project work force would
normally be derived.
a. The Contractor will, unless precluded by a valid bargaining agreement,
conduct systematic and direct recruitment through public and private
employee referral sources likely to yield qualified minority group
applicants. To meet this requirement, the Contractor will identify sources
of potential minority group employees, and establish with such identified
sources procedures whereby minority group applicants may be referred
to the Contractor for employment consideration.
b. In the event the Contractor has a valid bargaining agreement providing
for exclusive hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the
provisions of that agreement to the extent that the system permits the
Contractor's compliance with EEO contract provisions. (The DOL has
held that where implementation of such agreements have the effect of
discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the Contractor to
do the same, such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as
amended.)
c. The Contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority
group applicants for employment. Information and procedures with
regard to referring minority group applicants will be discussed with
employees.
5. Personnel Actions: Wages, working conditions, and employee benefits shall be
established and administered, and personnel actions of .every type, including
hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, and termination, shall be

84
Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020
NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
t_
a. The Contractor will conduct periodic inspections of project sites to insure
that working conditions and employee facilities do not indicate
discriminatory treatment of project site personnel.
b. The Contractor will periodically evaluate the spread of wages paid within
. each .classification to determine any evidence of discriminatory wage
practices.
c. The Contractor will periodically review selected personnel actions in
depth to determine whether there is evidence of discrimination. Where
evidence is found, the Contractor will promptly take corrective action. If
the review indicates that the discrimination may extend beyond the
actions reviewed, such corrective action shall include all affected
persons.
d. The Contractor will promptly investigate all complaints of alleged
discrimination made to the Contractor in connection with his obligations
under this Contract, will attempt to resolve such complaints, and will take
appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time. If the investigation
indicates that the discrimination may affect persons other than the
complainant, such corrective action shall include such other persons.
Upon completion of each investigation, the Contractor will inform every
complainant of all of his avenues of appeal.
6. Training and Promotion:
a. The Contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills
of minority group and women employees, and applicants for
employment.
b. Consistent with the Contractor's work force requirements and as
permissible under Federal and State regulations, the Contractor shall
make full use of training programs, i.e., apprenticeship, and on-the-job
training programs for the geographical area of Contract performance.
Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation
shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a
special provision for training is provided under this Contract, this
subparagraph will be superseded as indicated in the special provision.
c. The Contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of
available training programs and entrance requirements for each.
d. The Contractor will periodically review the training and promotion
potential of minority group and women employees and will encourage
eligible employees to apply for such training and promotion.

15. of such unions to increase opportunities for minority groups and women within
the unions, and to effect referrals by such unions of minority and female
employees. Actions by the Contractor either directly or through a Contractor's
association acting as agent will include the procedures set forth below:
a. The Contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the
unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority
group members and women for membership in the unions and
increasing the skills of minority group employees and women so that
they may qualify for higher paying employment.
85
Miami River •Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020
NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
b. The Contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into
each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually
bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, age or disability.
c. The Contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and
policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is
within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union
refuses to furnish such information to the Contractor, the Contractor shall
so certify to the SHA and shall set forth what efforts have been made to
obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the Contractor with a
reasonable flow of minority and women referrals within the time limit set
forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the Contractor will, through
independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without
regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability;
making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minority group
persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse that
the union with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining
agreement providing for exclusive referral failed to refer minority
employees.) In the event the union referral practice prevents the.
Contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order
11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such Contractor shall
immediately notify the SHA.
16. Selection of Subcontractors, Procurement of Materials and Leasing of
Equipment: The Contractor shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age or disability in the selection and retention of
Subcontractors, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment.
a. The Contractor shall notify all potential Subcontractors and suppliers of
his/her EEO obligations under this Contract.
b. Disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), as defined in 49 CFR 23,
shall have equal opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts
which the Contractor enters into pursuant to this Contract. The
Contractor will use his best efforts to solicit bids from and to utilize DBE
Subcontractors or Subcontractors with meaningful minority group and
female representation among their employees. Contractors shall obtain
lists of DBE construction firms from SHA personnel.
c. The Contractor will use his best efforts to ensure Subcontractor
compliance with their EEO obligations.
17. Records and Reports: The Contractor shall keep such records as necessary to
document compliance with the EEO requirements. Such records shall be
retained for a period of three years following completion of the Contract work
and shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by
authorized representatives of the SHA and the FHWA.
a. The records kept by the Contractor shall document the following:
1. The number of minority and non -minority group members and
women employed in each work classification on the project;
2. The progress and efforts being made in cooperation with unions,
when applicable, to increase employment opportunities for
minorities and women;

b. The Contractors will submit an annual report to the SHA each July for the
duration of the project, indicating the number of minority, women, and
non -minority group employees currently engaged in each work
classification required by the Contract work. This information is to be
reported on Form FHWA-1391..If on-the-job training is beingrequired by
special provision, the Contractor will be required to collect and report
training data.
HI. NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES
(Applicable to all Federal -aid construction contracts and to all related subcontracts of
$10,000 or more.)
a. By submission of this bid, the execution of this Contract or subcontract, or the
consummation of this material supply agreement or purchase order, as
appropriate, the Bidder, Federal -aid construction Contractor, Subcontractor,
material supplier, or vendor, as appropriate, certifies that the firm does not
maintain or- provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its
establishments, and that the firm does not permit its employees to perform their
services at any location, under its control, where segregated facilities are
maintained. The firm agrees that a breach of this certification is a violation of the
EEO provisions of this Contract. The firm further certifies that no employee will
be denied access to adequate facilities on the basis of sex or disability.
b. As used in this certification, the term "segregated facilities" means any waiting
rooms, work areas, restrooms and washrooms, restaurants and other eating
areas, time clocks, locker rooms, and other storage or dressing areas, parking
lots, drinking fountains, recreation or entertainment areas, transportation, and
housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit
directive, or are, in fact, segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, national
origin, age or disability, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. The only
exception will be for the disabled when the demands for accessibility override
(e.g. disabled parking).
c. The Contractor agrees that it has obtained or will obtain identical certification
from proposed Subcontractors or material suppliers prior to award of
subcontracts or consummation of material supply agreements of $10,000 or
more and that it will retain such certifications in its files.
IV. PAYMENT OF PREDETERMINED MINIMUM WAGE
(Applicable to all Federal -aid construction 'contracts exceeding $2,000 and to all related

determination.
e. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification, wage
rate and fringe benefits only when the following criteria have been met:
1. the work to be performed by the additional classification
requested is not performed by a classification in the wage
determination;
2. the additional classification is utilized in the area by the
construction industry;
3. the proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits,
bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in
the wage determination; and
4. with respect to helpers, when such a classification prevails in the
area in which the work is performed.
f. If the Contractor or Subcontractors, as appropriate, the laborers and
mechanics (if known) to be employed in the additional classification or
their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the
classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe

representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional
classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the
contracting officer or will notify thecontracting officer within the 30-day
period that additional time is necessary.
g. In the event the . Contractor or Subcontractors, as appropriate, the
laborers or mechanics to be employed in the additional classification or

either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay
another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly case equivalent thereof.
b. If the Contractor or Subcontractor, as appropriate, does not make
payments to a trustee or other third person, he/she may consider as a
part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan
or program, provided, that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the
written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the
Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the
Contractor to set aside in a separate account assets for the meeting of
obligations under the plan or program.
5. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOL) and Helpers:
a. Apprentices:
" 1. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the DOL, Employment
and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the
Bureau, or if a person is employed in his/her first 90 days of
probationary employment as an apprentice in such an
apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the
program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training or a State apprenticeship agency
(where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as
an apprentice.
2. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeyman -level employees
on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than
the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force
under the registered program. Any employee listed on a payroll at
an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise
employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the

(expressed in percentages of the journeyman -level hourly rate)
specified in the Contractor's or Subcontractor's registered
program shall be observed.
3. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified
in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress,
expressed as a percentage of the journeyman -level hourly rate
specified in the applicablewage determination. Apprentices shall
be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not
specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the
applicable classification. If the Administrator for the Wage and
Hour Division determines that a different practice prevails for the
applicable apprentice classification, fringes, shall be paid in
accordance with that determination.
4. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a
State apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau,
withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor
or Subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices
at Tess than the applicable predetermined rate for the comparable
work performed by regular employees until an acceptable
program is approved.
b. Trainees:
1. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted

performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a program which has received prior approval,
evidenced by formal certification by the DOL, Employment and
Training Administration.
2. The ratio of trainees to journeyman -level employees on the job
site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved
by the Employment and Training Administration. Any employee
listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and
Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable
wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered
program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the work actually performed.
3. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in
the approved program for his/her level of progress, expressed as
a percentage of the journeyman -level hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program.

NW 10th Ave to NW 12t Ave
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program
associated with the corresponding journeyman -level wage rate on
the wage determination which provides for less than full . fringe
'benefits.for apprentices, in which case such trainees shall receive
the same fringe benefits as apprentices.
4. In the event the Employment and Training Administration
withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor or
Subcontractor will no longer be -permitted to utilize trainees at less
than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved.
c. Helpers:
Helpers will be permitted to work on a project if the helper classification
is specified and defined on the applicable wage determination or is
approved pursuant to the conformance procedure set forth in Section
IV.2. Any worker listed on a payroll at a helper wage rate, who is not a
helper under a approved definition, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of
work actually performed.
6. Apprentices and Trainees (Programs of the U.S. DOT):
Apprentices and trainees working under apprenticeship and skill training
programs which have been certified by the Secretary of Transportation as
promoting EEO in connection with Federal -aid highway construction programs
are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 4 of this Section IV. The
straight time hourly wage rates for apprentices and trainees under such
programs will be established by the particular programs. The ratio of apprentices
and trainees to journeymen shall not be greater than permitted by the terms of
the particular program.
7. Withholding:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized
representative of the DOL withhold, or cause to be withheld, from the Contractor
or Subcontractor under this Contract or any other Federal contract with the
same prime Contractor, or any other Federally -assisted contract subject to
Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements which is held by the same prime
Contractor, as much of the accrued payments or advances as may be
considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices,
trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any Subcontractor the full
amount of wages required by the Contract. In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or
working on the site of the work, all, or part of the wages required by the Contract,
the SHA contracting officer may, after written notice to the Contractor, take such
action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,
advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory) for liquidated
damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each
individual laborer, mechanic, watchman, or guard employed in violation of the
clause set forth in paragraph 7, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on
which such employee was required or permitted to work in excess of the
standard work week of 40 hours without payment of the overtime wages
required by the clause set forth in paragraph 7.
10. Withholding for Unpaid Wages and Liquidated Damages:
The SHA shall upon its own action or upon written request of any authorized

of Labor Wage Rates applicable to this Contract are listed in Wage Rate Decision
Number(s) FL120226 01/06/2012, as modified up through- ten days prior to the opening of
bids. Obtain the applicable General Decision(s) (Wage Tables) through the FDOTs website
and ensure that employees receive the minimum wages applicable. You may, if applicable,
refer to the Wage Table —current as of this Contract date —attached and incorporated in
section 5 herein.
Review the General Decisions for all classifications necessary to complete the project.
Request additional classifications through the Engineer's office when needed. When
multiple wage tables are assigned to a Contract, general guidance of their use and
examples of construction applicability is available on the Department's website. Contact the
Department's Wage Rate Coordinator before bidding if there are still questions concerning
the applicability of multiple wage tables. The URL for obtaining the Wage Rate Decisions is

highway construction purposes may be warranted or justified. A proposal by any STD for
the use of publicly owned equipment on such a project must be supported by a showing
that it would clearly be cost effective to do so under the conditions peculiar to the individual
project or locality. Where publicly owned equipment is to be made available in connection
with construction work to be let to contract, Federal funds may participate in the cost of
such work provided the following conditions are met: (1) The proposed use of such
equipment is clearly set forth in the Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) submitted to
the Division Administrator for approval. (2) The advertised specifications specify the items
of publicly owned equipment available for use by the successful bidder, the rates to be
charged, and the points of availability or delivery of the equipment; and (3) The advertised
specifications include a notification that the successful bidder has the option either of
102
Miami River Greenway Streetscape — ITB NO.: 11-12-020
NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
renting part or all of such equipment from the State or local public agency or otherwise
providing the equipment necessary for the performance of the Contract work. In the rental
of publicly owned equipment to. Contractors, the State or local public agency shall not profit
at the expense of Federal funds. Unforeseeable conditions may , make it necessary to
provide publicly owned equipment -to theContractor at rental rates agreed to between:. the
Contractor and:. the State or local public agency after the work has:. started: Anysuch
arrangement shall not form the basis for any increase in the cost of the project on which
Federal funds are to participate. When publiclyowned equipment is used on projects
constructed on a'force account basis, costs may be determined by agreed unit prices or on
an actual cost basis. When agreed unit prices are applied the equipment need not be
itemized nor rental rates shown in the estimate. However, if such work is to he performed
on an actual cost basis, the STD shall submit to the Division Administrations for approval
the schedule of rates proposed to be charged, exclusive of profit, for the publicly owned
equipment made available for use.
24. Public Agencies in Competition with the Private Sector

available to it of the financial, technical and other qualifications and abilities of the bidder.
The Contract will be awarded only to a Bidder fully qualified to undertake the proposed
work. All material or services must meet all applicable Federal, State and Local
specifications and permit requirements. In accordance with 23 CFR 635.112(e), no public
agency shall be permitted to bid in competition or to enter into subcontracts with
private contractors.
25. FDOT Specifications
All work done must be completed using the 2007 FDOT Standard Specifications for Road
and Bridge Construction, hereby incorporated.
26. On The Job Training Requirements
As part of the Contractor's equal employment opportunity affirmative action program,
training shall be provided as follows:
The Contractor shall provide on-the-job training aimed at developing full journeymen in
the type(s) of trade or job classification(s) involved in the work. In the event the
Contractor subcontracts a portion of the Contract work, he/she shall determine how
many, if any, of the trainees are to be trained by the Subcontractor provided, that the
Contractor shall retain the primary responsibility for meeting the training requirements
imposed by this Special Provision. The Contractor shall apply the requirements of this
Training Special Provision to such subcontract. Where feasible, 25% of apprentices or
trainees in each occupation shall be in their first year of apprenticeship or training.
The number of trainees will be estimated on the number of calendar days of the
Contract, the dollar value, and the scope of work to be performed. The trainee goal will
be finalized at a Post-Preconstruction Trainee Evaluation Meeting and the goal will be
distributed among the work classifications based on the following criteria:
1) Determine the number of trainees on Federal Aid Contract:
(a) No trainees will be required for contracts with a contract time allowance of
less than 225 calendar days.
103
Miami River Greenway Streetscape — I T B NO.: 11-12-020
NW 10th Ave to NW 12th Ave
L_
(b) If the contract time allowance is 225 calendar days or more, the number of
trainees shall be established in accordance with the following chart:
Estimated Contract Amount Trainees Required
Under $1,000,000.0
Over`$1,000,000 to 3,000,000 2
Over $3,000,000 to 5,000,000 3
Over$5,000;000 to $10,000,000 5
Over 10,000,000 to 1'5,000,000 7
Over 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 9
Over 20,000,000 to * 12
* One Additional trainee per $5,000,000 of estimated construction contract amount over
$20,000,000.
Further, if the Contractor or Subcontractor requests to utilize banked trainees as
discussed later in this Special Provision, a Banking Certificate will be validated at this
meeting allowing credit to the Contractor for previously banked trainees. The
Contractor's Project Manager, the Construction Project Engineer and the Department's
District Compliance Manager will attend this meeting. Within ten days after the Post-
Preconstruction Training Evaluation Meeting, the Contractor shall submit to the
Department for approval an On -The -Job Training Schedule indicating the number of
trainees to be trained in each selected classification and the portion of the contract time
during which training of each trainee is to take place. This schedule may be subject to
change if the following occur:
1) When a start date on the approved On -The -Job Training Schedule has been
missed by 14 or more days;
2) When there is a change(s) in previously approved classifications;
3) When replacement trainees are added due to voluntary or involuntary
termination •
The revised schedule will be resubmitted to and approved by the Department's District
Compliance Manager.
The following criteria will be used in determining whether or not the Contractor has
complied with this Training Special Provision as it relates to the number of trainees to
be trained:
1. Full credit will be allowed for each trainee that is both enrolled and satisfactorily
completes training on this Contract. Credit for trainees, over the established number for
this Contract, will be carried in a "bank" for the Contractor and credit will be allowed for
those surplus trainees in subsequent, applicable projects. A "banked" trainee is
described as an employee who has been trained on a project, over and above the
established goal, and for which the Contractor desires to preserve credit for utilization
on a subsequent project.
2. Full credit will be allowed for each trainee that has been previously enrolled in the
Department's approved training program on another contract and continues training in
the same job classification for a significant period and completes his/her training on this

Training and upgrading of minorities, women and economically disadvantaged persons
toward journeyman status is a primary objective of this Training -Special .Provision.
Accordingly, the Contractor shall', make every effort to enroll minority trainees and
women (e.g., by conducting systematic and direct recruitment through `public . and
private sources likely.to yield minority and women trainees) to:the extent such;persons
are available within a reasonable area of recruitment. If a non -minority male is enrolled
into On -The -Job Training, the On -The -Job Training Notification of Personnel Action
Form notifying the District Compliance Manager of such action shall be accompanied
by a disadvantaged certification or a justification for such action acceptable to the
Department's District Compliance Manager. The Contractor will be given an opportunity
and will be responsible for.: demonstrating the :steps that he has taken in pursuance
thereof, prior to a determination as to•whether the Contractor is in compliance with this
Training Special Provision. This 'training is not: intended, and shall not be used, to
discriminate against any applicant for training, whether a minority, woman or
disadvantaged person. No employee shall be employed as a trainee in any
classification in which he/she has successfully completed a training course leading to
journeyman status, has been employed as a journeyman, or has had extensive
experience in the classification being considered for training. The Contractor shall
satisfy this requirement by including appropriate questions in the employee application
or by other suitable means. Regardless of the method used, the Contractor's records
should document the findings in each case.
The minimum length and type of training for each classification will be as established at
the Post-Preconstruction Trainee Evaluation Meeting and approved by the Department.
Graduation to journeyman status will be based upon satisfactory completion of
Proficiency Demonstrations set up as milestones in each specific training classification,
completion of the minimum hours in a training classification range and the employer's
satisfaction that the trainee does meet journeyman status in the classification of
training. Upon reaching journeyman status, the following documentation must be
forwarded to the District Compliance Office; Trainee Enrollment and Personnel Action
Form, the Proficiency Demonstration Verification Form signed at each milestone by a
representative of both the Contractor and the Department and a letter stating that the
trainee has sufficiently progressed in the craft and is being promoted to journeyman
status.
The Department and the Contractor shall establish a program that is tied to the scope
of the work in the project and the length of operations providing it is reasonably
calculated to meet the equal employment opportunity obligations of the Contractor and
to qualify the average trainee for journeyman status in the classifications concerned, by
at least, the minimum hours prescribed for a training classification. Furthermore,
apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State apprenticeship agency recognized by the
Bureau and training programs approved but not necessarily sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Manpower Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training
shall also be considered acceptable provided it is being administered in a manner
consistent with the equal employment obligations of Federal Aid highway construction
contract. Approval or acceptance of a training schedule shall be obtained from the
Department prior to commencing work on the classifications covered by the program.
A voluntary On -The -Job Training Program is available to a Contractor which has been
awarded a state funded project. Through this program, the Contractor will have the
option to train employees on state funded projects for "banked credit" as discussed

training is required. Those Contractors availing themselves of this .opportunity to train
personnel on state funded projects and bank trainee hours for credit shall comply with
all training criteria set forthin this Special Provision for Federal Aid Projects.
It is the intention of these provisions that) raining is to be provided in the construction
crafts rather than clerk_typists or secretarial type positions/ Training is permissible in
positions such as office engineers, estimators, etc., where the training is oriented
toward construction applications. Training in the laborer classification may be permitted
provided that significant and meaningful training is provided and approved by the
District Compliance Office. Some offsite training is permissible as long as the training is
an integral part of an approved training program and does not compromise a significant
part of the overall training.
As approved in advance by the District Compliance Manager, credit will be given for
training of persons in excess of the number specified herein under the current Contract
or a Contractor will be allowed to bank trainees who have successfully completed a
training program and may apply those trainees to a training requirement in subsequent
project(s) upon approval of the Department's District Compliance Manager. This credit
• will be given even though the Contractor may receive training program funds from other
sources, provided such other source do not specifically prohibit the Contractorfrom
receiving other form of compensation. Credit for offsite training indicated above may
only be made to the Contractor where he does one or more of the following and the
trainees are concurrently employed on a Federal Aid Project; contributes to the cost of
the training, provides the instruction to the trainee and pays the trainee's wages during
the offsite training period.
No credit shall be given to the Contractor if either the failure to provide the required
training, or the failure to hire the trainee as a journeyman, is caused by the Contractor
and evidences a lack of good faith on the part of the Contractor in meeting the
requirements of this Training Special Provision.
The Contractor shall compensate the trainee at no Tess than the laborer rate
established in the Contract at the onset of training. This compensation rate will be
increased to the journeyman's wage for that classification upon graduation from the
training program.
The Contractor shall furnish the traineea copy of the program he will follow in providing
the training. The Contractor shall provide each trainee with a certification showing the
type and length of training satisfactorily completed.

engaged in training on work being performed as a part of this Contract.

Job Training Notification of Personnel Action form no later than seven days after the

project, transferred from the project to continue training on another contract, completes
training, upgraded to journeyman status or voluntary terminates or is involuntary

Time Report for each trainee. The monthly report for each month shall be submitted no

DBE COMPLIANCE INFORMATION ! FORMS/!INSTRUCTIONS .
The Florida Department of Transportation Department began itsDBE.race neutral program January 1,
2000. Contract specific goals are not. placed on'Federal/State. contracts;. however,. the Department
has an overall 8.1%:DBE goal it must achieve. In order to assist contractors in determining their DBE
commitment level, the Department has reviewed the estimates for this letting.
As you prepare your bid, please monitor potential or anticipated DBE utilization for contracts. When the
low bidder executes the contract with the. Department, information will be requested of the contractor's
anticipated DBE participation for the project. While the utilization is not mandatory in order to be awarded
the project, continuing utilization of DBE firms on contracts supports the success of Florida's Voluntary
DBE Program, and supports contractors' Equal Employment Opportunity and DBE Affirmative Action
Programs.
NOTE: Any project listed as 0% DBE availability does not mean that a DBE may not be used on that
project. A 0% DBE availability may have been established due to any of the following reasons: limited
identified subcontracting opportunities, minimal contract days, and/or small contract dollar amount.
Contractors are encouraged to identify any opportunities to subcontract to DBEs.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact the Equal Opportunity Office at (850)
414-4747.
DBE Reporting
If you are the prime contractor on a project, complete the attached Anticipated DBE Participation
Statement and submit the information at the pre -construction or pre -work conference for all federal and
state funded projects. This will not become a mandatory part of the contract. It will assist the Department
in tracking and reporting planned or estimated DBE utilization. During the contract, the prime contractor
is required to report actual payments to all subcontractors through the web -based Equal Opportunity
Reporting System (EORS), BizWeb.
All DBE payments must be reported whether or not you initially planned to utilize the company. In order
for our race neutral DBE Program to be successful, your cooperation is imperative. If you have any
questions concerning the completion or submission of this information, contact the FDOT EOO at (850)
414-4747.
Bid Opportunity List
The Federal DBE Program requires States to maintain a database of all firms that are participating or
attempting to participate on FDOT-assisted contracts. The list must include all firms that bid on prime
contracts or bid or quote subcontracts on FDOT-assisted projects, including both DBEs and non -DBEs.
A form is included to record bidders' information for ALL subcontractors or sub -consultants who quoted to
you for specific projects for this letting.
If a contractor quoted to you for more than one project you only need list that contractor once. If you have
submitted a bidder's list to the Department previously, you need only list new companies who have
quoted to you or requested to be on specific projects. If you do not know the answers to numbers 2, 3, 4,
or 5 you may leave them blank and the Department will complete them. This information should be
returned with your bid package or proposal package or submitted to the Equal Opportunity Office within
three days of your submission. It can be mailed or faxed.

Equal Opportunity Reporting System Information
To comply with changes.. in the. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, the Department is collecting both
actual payments made to subcontractors and sub -consultants, and DBE commitment amounts. Actual payments will be
collected through the web -based. Equal Opportunity Reporting System (EORS) and commitments will be collected through
the Anticipated DBE Participation'Statements.
It is extremely important that you continue to submit the Anticipated DBE Participation Statement at the pre -construction
conference for all federal and state funded projects. This primary information is used by the State and Federal
Government to evaluate our performance in the DBE Program.
In addition, forfederal and state funded projects, you must also report actual payments in the Equal Opportunity
Reporting System. Revisions were made to the specifications beginning with the October 2000 letting that states in
section 9-6.7:
The Contractor is required to report monthly, through the Department's Equal Opportunity Reporting System on
the Internet at www.dot.state.fl.us, actual payments, retainage, minority status, and the work type of all
subcontractors and suppliers.
Since the specifications were revised, we have made some additional modifications to ease the burden on the contractor.
We will pursue making the permanent modifications to the specifications. In the interim, each month you must report
actual payments to all DBE subcontractors, sub -consultants and suppliers. Payments to all non -DBE subcontractors and
sub -consultants will need to be reported either monthly or at the end of the project. Payments to non -DBE suppliers need
not be reported at all. This information can be submitted in hard copy form, if necessary.
Instructions for accessing the EORS are included. If you have any questions, please contact the Equal Opportunity Office
at (850) 414-4747.

work;
3. Lack of interest in performing on Florida Department of Transportation contracts;
4. Lack of response when requested to bid;
5. Limited knowledge of Florida Department of Transportation plans and specifications to prepare a
responsible bid.
In view of the barriers to disadvantaged businesses stated above, it shall be the policy of
to provide opportunity by utilizing the following
affirmative action methods to ensure participation on the contracts with the Florida Department of Transportation.
• will:
1. Provide written notice to all certified DBE subcontractors in the geographical area where the work is to be
subcontracted by the Company;

goals (including;<:where appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate
DBE participation)

action methods is not exhaustive and will include additional approaches after having established familiarity with the
disadvantaged subcontracting community and/or determined the stated approaches to be ineffective.
III. IMPLEMENTATION

specific goals, the Company will, as an expression of good faith, seek to utilize DBE subcontractors where work is to be
subcontracted.

6-12.2 Source of Supply - Steel
For Federal -aid Contracts, only use steel and iron produced in the United States, in
accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended.: Ensure
that all manufacturing processes for this material occur in the United•States As used in
this specification, a manufacturing process is any process that modifies the chemical
content, physical shape or size, or final finish of a product, beginning with the initial
melding and mixing and continuing through the bending and coating stages. A
manufactured steel or iron, product is complete only when all grinding, drilling, welding,
finishing and coating have been completed. If a domestic product is taken outside the
United States for any process, it becomes foreign source material. When using steel
and iron as a component of any manufactured product' incorporated into the project
(e.g., concrete pipe, prestressed beams, corrugated steel pipe, etc.), these same
provisions apply, except that the manufacturer may use minimal quantities of foreign
steel and iron when the cost of such foreign materials does not exceed 0.1 % of the total
Contract amount or $2,500, whichever is greater. These requirements are applicable to
all steel and iron materials incorporated into the finished work, but are not applicable to
steel and iron items that the Contractor uses but does not incorporate into the finished
work. Provide a certification from the producer of steel or iron, or any product containing
steel or iron as a component, stating that all steel or iron furnished or incorporated into
the furnished product was manufactured in the United States in accordance with the
requirements of this specification and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410,
as amended. Such certification shall also include (1) a statement that the product was
produced entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement that the product was
produced within the United States except for minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron
valued at $ (actual value). Furnish each such certification to the Engineer prior to
incorporating the material into the project. When FHWA allows the use of foreign steel
on a project, furnish invoices to document the cost of such material, and obtain the
Engineer's written approval prior to incorporating the material into the project.

WELDERS - Receive rate prescribed for craft performing
operation to which welding is incidental.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).
The body of each wage determination lists the classification
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular
rate is union or non -union.
Union Identifiers
An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with
characters other than "SU" denotes that the union
classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that
classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The
first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and
the four -digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local
union number or district council number where applicable ,
i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the
example, is an internal number used in processing the wage
determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these
characters is the effective date of the most current
negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be
July 1, 2011 in the above example.
Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any
changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the
rate.
Non -Union Identifiers
Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived
from survey data by computing average rates and are not union
rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may
include both union and non -union data. Example: SULA2004-007
5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA
indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the
survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates
the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued
as a General Wage Determination on that date.
Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change
until a new survey is conducted.

* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on

interested party's position and by any information (wage

City of Miami Code of Ordinances. Ch ;18. Sec. 18-542.
Financial Integrity Principles
The following financial integrity principles are hereby adopted:
(1) Structurally balanced budget. The cityshall rnaintain a structurally- balanced budget. Recurring revenues will
fund recurrmg'expenditures.
(2) 'Estimating conference. process. The city shall adopt budgets and develop its long and short-term financial plan
.utilizing a professional. estimating conference process. Conference'principals shall include; but not be ltrnited to: one
principal frorn . the budget office; one principaifrom the finance department and non --staff principals with public
finance expertise
(3) Interfund borrowing. The city, shall not borrow or use internal fund transfers to obtain cash from one fund type or
reserve to fund: activities of another fund typeor reserve unless such useis deemed lawful, and unless the estimating
conference has determined that(e) the funds to be loaned will not be needed during the lending period, and (b) the
funds for repayment will:be available within a two-year period: Any actions taken to borrow funds under these
conditions must be separately presented to and approved by the city: commission and the term of such borrowing
shall not extend. beyond the last day of the subsequent fiscal year. Recognizing'that some programs are funded by
grants or other entities on a reimbursement basis, the city shall apply for such reimbursements on a timety basis to
minimize the period that city funds are used as float. In the event loans/float for these reimbursements extend beyond
the end of a fiscal year, such reimbursements shall be reflected as receivables in the comprehensive annual financial
statements report (CAFR) to the extent allowed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP). The department of finance shall make a quarterly determination of the amount of expenses
incurred which may not be reimbursable under these programs: A quarterly report of expenses incurred but not
reimbursable shall be presented to the city commission, together with the actions needed to avoid project deficits.
(4) For purposes of this section, city-wide surplus for any fiscal year is defined as the increase in unreserved general
fund balance as reflected in the city's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). City-wide deficit for any fiscal
year is defined as the decrease in unreserved general fund balance as reflected in the city's comprehensive annual
financial report (CAFR). Budget surplus of any office, department or elected official is defined as the excess of
budgeted expenses over actual expenses in any fiscal year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section,
the total amount of budget surplus to be added to designated reserves and special revenue funds pursuant to this
section (together, the "rollover amounts") is limited to city-wide surplus for any fiscal year. In the event the rollover
amounts would result in a city-wide deficit, then each budget surplus within the rollover amounts shall be reduced
proportionately so the city's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) will reflect no change in undesignated,
unreserved general fund balance. In the event that a city-wide deficit would result before effecting the rollover
amounts in any fiscal year, then no rollover amounts shall be available.
a. Budget surpluses in an elected official's budget in any fiscal year shall be reflected as designated reserves at the
end of the fiscal year in which such surplus arose and be appropriated for discretionary use of such elected official for
the following fiscal year.
b. Budget surpluses of the parks and recreation department shall be allocated, as of the end of the fiscal year in
which such surplus arose, to a parks special revenue fund. Allowed expenditures from the parks special revenue fund
shall be limited to the purchase of parks recreational and maintenance equipment and the direct operations of
recreational programs in and for the city's parks, subject to appropriation by the city commission.
c. Budgeted surpluses of the department of conferences, conventions and public facilities shall be allocated, as of
the end of the fiscal year in which such surplus arose, to a public facilities special revenue fund. Allowed expenditures
of the public facilities special revenue fund shall be limited to capital improvements for the city's public facilities,
subject to appropriation by the city commission.
d. Budgeted surpluses of the department of information technology shall be allocated, as of the end of the fiscal year
in which such surplus arose, to an IT strategic plan special revenue fund. Allowed expenditures of the IT strategic
plan special revenue fund shall be limited to expenditures, excluding those related to permanent city staff, necessary
for the implementation of the city's information technology strategic plan, subject to appropriation by the city
commission.
(5) Reserve policies. The following three reserve policies categories are established for the general operating fund
of the city: Payment for compensated absences and other employee benefit liabilities and self-insurance plan deficits
may be drawn from this reserve during the fiscal year and shall be replenished each year until fifty percent (50%) if
such the liabilities are funded. Other designated reserves may be drawn upon without the need for replenishment.
a. Current fiscal year contingency. A "contingency" reserve level of $5,000,000.00 shall be budgeted annually. Such
contingency reserve shall be available for use, with city commission approval, during the fiscal year, to fund
unanticipated budget issues which arise or potential expenditure overruns which cannot be offset through other
sources or actions. The unused portion of the budgeted contingency reserve in any fiscal year shall be reflected as
designated reserves until such time as the city has funded 50 percent of the liabilities of the long-term liabilities
152

NW 10`h Ave to NW 12th Ave
(excluding bonds loans, and capital lease payables) as reflected in.the city's comprehensive annual financial report

.
health; safety and welfare of the city's residents; businesses or visitors. Any time reserve funds fall below the
ten percent threshold, the city commission shall adopt a plan to achieve the thresholdwithin two fiscal. years.

necessary to assure compliance with legal commitments, and for expenditures that willresult in the reduction of
recurring costs or the increase: in recurring revenues of the city:,
c. Designated reserves The city shall retain reserves equal to ten percent of the prior three years average of

4. Lack of response when requested to bid;
5. Limited knowledge of Florida Department of Transportation plans and specifications to prepare a
responsible bid.
In view of the barriers to disadvantaged businesses stated above, It shall be the policy of
to provide opportunity by utilizing the following

Findings
As reflected on the .attached Bid Security List, FHP was the lowest bidder for ITB 1.1-12-020. After determining
that FHP is a responsible bidder and meets -the minimum requirements to bid on the Project, CT staff compared
the line items in FHP's bid with the design consultant's construction estimates for said items and, based thereon,
determined that FHP's bid is responsive to ITB 11-12-020. Having determined that FHP is the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder for ITB 11-12-020, CIP recommends that the Project be awarded to FHP .and the Florida
Department of Transportation concurs with CIP's recommendation (see attached).
