SECTION 2: BID SELECTION
PSTA reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and may select, and negotiate with one or more

determined, by the PSTA, to provide the services which are in the best interest of PSTA. PSTA may agree to
such terms and conditions as it may determine to be in its interest.
Bids will be opened immediately after the bid submittal date and time by Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority,
Purchasing Division, 3201 Scherer Drive, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. The public may attend the bid opening, but

interest would exist. Such a conflict would exist when any of the following parties has a material financial or
other interest in a firm selected for award: any employee, officer, or agent of PSTA; any member of his/her
immediate family; his/her partner; or an organization employing or about to employ any of the preceding. Any
interest as owner or stockholder of one percent (1%) or less in such a firm shall not be deemed to be a
material financial interest, but serving as Director, officer, consultant, or employee of such an organization
would be deemed a material interest.
2.1 AWARD OF CONTRACT:
A. The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose bid, conforming to the IFB, is most advantageous to
PSTA, price and other factors considered. PSTA shall have the sole discretion to determine which
bidders are responsive and which bidder shall be awarded the contract. Nothing contained in the bid
documents is intended or does create an entitlement or property interest in the award of contract to
the low bidder. The low bidder is not entitled to the award of the contract.
B. PSTA reserves the right to accept and award item by item, and/or by group, or in the aggregate, unless
the bidder qualifies his bid by specified limitations.
C. In the event two (2) or more vendors have submitted the responsible and responsive bids with an
equal price, award preference will first be given to bidders submitting a certification (attached) with
their bid certifying they have implemented a Drug-Free Workplace Program (Section 284.087, Florida
Statutes); second to the bidder that is a DBE; third, the bidder who has the highest percentage of DBE
participation. Otherwise, the bids shall be awarded by the Chief Executive Officer, if within his
purchasing authority, or by Board of Directors.
D. PSTA reserves the right to utilize any applicable state or county contracts in lieu of or in addition to this
bid.

-12-
IFB # 13-013B
Pinellas Park Transit Center
Officer of PSTA within seventy-two hours after the posting of the bid tabulation or after the issuance of
the notice of PSTA s decision or intended decision and shall file a formal written protest within ten
days after the date of the Notice of Protest. The formal written protest shall state with particularity the
basis of the protest, including the facts and law upon which the protest is based, and providing any
supporting documentation. Failure to file a Notice of Protest of failure to file a formal written protest
within the time periods set forth above shall constitute a waiver of protest.
B) Providing a Bond: Any firm or person who files a protest shall file with PSTA, at the time of filing the
formal written protest, a bond payable to PSTA in an amount equal to one percent of the estimate of
the total value of the contract or $5,000, whichever is less. Such bond shall be conditioned upon
payment of all costs which may be adjusted against the protestor upon the conclusion of the protest
proceedings. If the protest determination is not in favor of the protester, PSTA shall recover all costs,
damages and charges incurred by it during the protest, excluding attorneys fees. Upon payment of
such costs and charges by the person or firm protesting the decision or intended decision, the bond
shall be returned.
C) Consideration of Protest: PSTA s Chief Executive Officer will consider all protests of a PSTA decision or
intended decision concerning a bid solicitation or a contract award where the protestor has complied
with the requirements of subsections A and B of this Article. The Chief Executive Officer shall not
consider any protest presented orally or not presented within the time limits set forth in subsection A.
The Chief Executive Officer shall provide the protestor and all other bidders with a written
determination of the protest within fifteen (15) days of receiving the formal written protest. The Chief
Executive Officer s decision is final. The Chief Executive Officer may provide an opportunity to resolve
the protest by mutual agreement between the parties within seven days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays
and legal holidays, of PSTA s receipt of the formal written protest.
D) Stay of Procurement during Protests: There shall be no stay of the bid process or the procurement
during protests.
E) Notice to Bidders: Bid tabulations with recommendations will be posted on a bulletin board
maintained at PSTA s principal place of business for purposes of posting bid tabulations. Upon receipt
of a formal written protest, PSTA will give notice of the protest to all bidders or if the bid already was
awarded at the time the protest was filed with PSTA, only to the successful bidder. When a protest
results in a delay of an award of the contract pending the disposition of the protest, the bidder or
bidders whose bids might become eligible for award will be requested, before expiration of the time
for acceptance of their bids (with consent of sureties, if any) to extend the time for acceptance so as to
avoid the need for re-advertisement and re-bidding.

specifications and all instructions pertaining to the invitation for bid. Failure to do so will be at the
Bidders risk.
D) Invoicing and Payment: Charges rendered by Bidder to PSTA shall be due and payable on terms set
forth in the Florida Prompt Payment Act after proper and complete billing is received by PSTA.

3.22 EXCEPTIONS
Bidder is advised that if it wishes to take exception to any of the terms contained in this IFB, it must identify
the term and the exception in its response to the procurement. Failure to do so may lead PSTA to declare any
such term non-negotiable. Bidder s desire to take exception to a non-negotiable term will not disqualify it from
consideration for award.
3.23 BONDING REQUIREMENTS
A) Bond Requirements
Bid Security
A bid bond must be issued by a fully qualified surety company acceptable to PSTA. In submitting this
Bid, it is understood and agreed by Bidder that the right is reserved by PSTA to reject any and all bids,
or part of any, and it is agreed that the Bid may not be withdrawn for a period of [one hundred eighty
(180)] days subsequent to the opening of bids, without the written consent of the PSTA. It is also
understood and agreed that if the undersigned bidder should withdraw any part or all of his bid with
[one hundred eighty (180)] days after the bid opening without the written consent of PSTA, shall

Check and/or Official Bank Check (excluding any income generated thereby which has been retained
by the PSTA as provided in [Item x Bid Security of the Instructions to Bidders]) shall prove inadequate
to fully recompense PSTA for the damages occasioned by default, then the undersigned bidder agrees
to indemnify PSTA and pay over to PSTA the difference between the bid security and PSTA s total
damages, so as to make PSTA whole.
The undersigned understands that any material alteration of any of the above or any of the material
contained on this form, other than that requested will render the bid unresponsive.
B) Performance and Payment Bonding Requirements
The Contractor shall be required to obtain performance and payment bonds as follows:
Performance bonds: The penal amount of performance bonds shall be 100 percent of the original
contract price, unless the PSTA determines that a lesser amount would be adequate for the protection
of PSTA.
PSTA may require additional performance bond protection when a contract price is increased. The
increase in protection shall generally equal 100 percent of the increase in contract price. PSTA may
secure additional protection by directing the Contractor to increase the penal amount of the existing
bond or to obtain an additional bond.
Payment bonds:
1) The Penal amount of the payment bonds shall equal:
a) Fifty percent of the contract price if the contract price is not more than $1 million.

amount of the advance payment bond necessary to protect the PSTA.
1) Patent Infringement Bonding Requirements (Patent Indemnity):
The Contractor may be required to obtain a patent indemnity bond if a performance bond is not
furnished and the financial responsibility of the Contractor is unknown or doubtful. PSTA shall
determine the amount of the patent indemnity to protect PSTA.
2) Warranty of the Work and Maintenance Bonds:
a)
The Contractor warrants to PSTA, the Architect and/or Engineer that all materials and
equipment furnished under this Contract will be of highest quality and new unless otherwise
specified by PSTA, free from faults and defects and in conformance with the Contract
Documents. All work not so conforming to these standards shall be considered defective. If
required by the [Project Manager], the Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the
kind and quality of materials and equipment.
b) The work furnished must of first quality and the workmanship must be the best obtainable in
the various trades. The Work must be of safe, substantial and durable construction in all
respects. The Contractor hereby guarantees the Work against defective materials or faulty
workmanship for a minimum period of one (1) year after Final Payment by PSTA and shall
replace or repair any defective materials or equipment or faulty workmanship during the
period of the guarantee at no cost to PSTA. As additional security for these guarantees, the
Contractor shall, prior to the release of Final Payment [as provided in Item X below], furnish
separate Maintenance (or Guarantee) Bonds in form acceptable to PSTA written by the same
corporate surety that provides the Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond
for this Contract. These bonds shall secure the Contractor s obligation to replace or repair
defective materials and faulty workmanship for a minimum period of one (1) year after Final
Payment and shall be written in an amount equal to ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) of the
CONTRACT SUM, as adjusted (if at all).
3.24 PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES

crime may not submit a bid on a contract to provide any goods or services to a public entity, may not submit a
bid on a contract with a public entity for the construction or repair of a public building or public work, may not

provided in Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, for Category two for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the
date of being placed on the convicted vendor list. PSTA may make inquiries regarding alleged convictions of
public entity crimes. The unreasonable failure of a Bidder to promptly supply information in connection with
an inquiry may be grounds for rejection of a bid. Additionally, a conviction of a public entity crime may cause
the rejection of a bid.

Pinellas Park Transit Center
3.25 OR EQUAL DETERMINATION
Where proposing other than specified, the determination of equivalency will be at the sole discretion of PSTA.
Bidder shall, as to each item, propose upon the specified products or upon an alternate product which is
equal as defined herein. The offer of an alternate product for any item shall, for the purpose of evaluation of
bids, be construed as a refusal to propose upon the product specified. Only one alternate product for each
item shall be submitted. In the event an alternate product is submitted for any item, the Bidder shall cross out
the product specified and type or print the work ALTERNATE (failure to do so shall be construed as a bid
upon the product specified) and insert the unit price and the extension or total (unit price multiplied by the
number of units) in the columns provided therefore in the same manner as if proposing upon the specified
product. In the event any alternate product is submitted the Bidder shall state on additional attached sheets,
the precise specifications of the alternate and all of the differences in specifications between the specified
product and the alternate products and sketches or blueprints to scale sufficiently accurate, complete, and
detailed as to enable PSTA to make a complete determination of the quality of the alternate. Failure to submit
this information in full will constitute basis for determination by PSTA that the alternate submitted is not equal
to the product specified as a standard.
3.26 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS
In complying with Florida s Right to Know Law, PSTA requires the Bidder submit Material Safety Data Sheets
on any hazardous chemical or substances supplied. Failure to supply MSDS s sheets may result in bid
disqualification.

of Transportation, FTA, and the Comptroller of the United States to inspect and audit all data and records
relating to its performance under the Contract. These rights of audit shall extend for a period of three (3)
years following final payment under this Contract. Any such right of inspection and audit shall only be
exercisable upon prior notice and during normal business hours. Furthermore, PSTA agrees that it shall bear
all of its own costs and expenses with respect to such audit. In the event funds paid to the Contractor under
this Contract are later properly disallowed by PSTA, or a State or Federal agency because of accounting errors
or charges not in conformity with this Contract, the Contractor shall refund such disallowed amounts to PSTA
promptly.
NOTE: ANY AND ALL SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS ATTACHED HERETO WHICH VARY FROM
THESE GENERAL CONDITIONS SHALL HAVE PRECEDENCE.
3.28 CONTRACT
Upon award, Bidder agrees to be bound by and execute the contract set forth in Section 5.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1
EXAMINATION
A.
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared; notify Architect of
unsatisfactory conditions before proceeding. If substrate preparation is the responsibility of
another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
B.
Proceed with work only after conditions have been corrected and approved by all parties,
otherwise application of coatings will be considered as an acceptance of surface conditions.
3.2
A.
SURFACE PREPARATION
General: Surfaces shall be dry and in sound condition. Remove oil, dust, dirt, loose rust, peeling
paint or other contamination to ensure good adhesion.
1.
Remove mildew before painting by washing with a solution of 1 part liquid household
bleach and 3 parts of warm water. Apply the solution and scrub the mildewed area. Allow
the solution to remain on the surface for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water
and allow the surface to dry 48 hours before painting. Wear protective glasses or
goggles, waterproof gloves, and protective clothing. Quickly wash off any of the mixture
that comes in contact with your skin. Do not add detergents or ammonia to the
bleach/water solution.
2.
Remove items including but not limited to thermostats, electrical outlets, switch covers
and similar items prior to painting. After completing painting operations in each space or
area, reinstall items removed using workers skilled in the trades involved.
B.
Aluminum: Remove all oil, grease, dirt, oxide and other foreign material by cleaning per SSPCSP1, Solvent Cleaning.
C.
Block (Cinder and Concrete): Remove all loose mortar and foreign material. Surface must be
free of laitance, concrete dust, dirt, form release agents, moisture curing membranes, loose
cement, and hardeners. Concrete and mortar must be cured at least 30 days at 75 degrees F.
The pH of the surface should be between 6 and 9, unless the products are designed to be used
in high pH environments. On tilt-up and poured-in-place concrete, commercial detergents and
abrasive blasting may be necessary to prepare the surface. Fill bug holes, air pockets, and other
voids with a cement patching compound.
D.
Concrete, SSPC-SP13 or NACE 6: This standard gives requirements for surface preparation of
concrete by mechanical, chemical, or thermal methods prior to the application of bonded
protective coating or lining systems. The requirements of this standard are applicable to all types
of cementitious surfaces including cast-in-place concrete floors and walls, precast slabs,
masonry walls, and shotcrete surfaces. An acceptable prepared concrete surface should be free
of contaminants, laitance, loosely adhering concrete, and dust, and should provide a sound,
uniform substrate suitable for the application of protective coating or lining systems.

Copper and Stainless Steel: Remove all oil, grease, dirt, oxide and other foreign material by
cleaning per SSPC-SP 2, Hand Tool Cleaning.
F.
Drywall-Interior: Must be clean and dry. All nail heads must be set and spackled. Joints must be
taped and covered with a joint compound. Spackled nail heads and tape joints must be sanded
smooth and all dust removed prior to painting.
G.
Galvanized Metal: Clean per SSPC-SP1 using detergent and water or a degreasing cleaner to
remove greases and oils. Apply a test area, priming as required. Allow the coating to dry at least
one week before testing. If adhesion is poor, Brush Blast per SSPC-SP7 is necessary to remove
these treatments.
H.
Plaster: Must be allowed to dry thoroughly for at least 30 days before painting, unless the
products are designed to be used in high pH environments. Room must be ventilated while
drying; in cold, damp weather, rooms must be heated. Damaged areas must be repaired with an
appropriate patching material. Bare plaster must be cured and hard. Textured, soft, porous, or
powdery plaster should be treated with a solution of 1 pint household vinegar to 1 gallon of
water. Repeat until the surface is hard, rinse with clear water and allow to dry.
I.
Steel: Structural, Plate, And Similar Items: Should be cleaned by one or more of the surface
preparations described below. These methods are used throughout the world for describing
methods for cleaning structural steel. Visual standards are available through the Society of
Protective Coatings. A brief description of these standards together with numbers by which they
can be specified follow.
1.
Solvent Cleaning, SSPC-SP1: Solvent cleaning is a method for removing all visible oil,
grease, soil, drawing and cutting compounds, and other soluble contaminants. Solvent
cleaning does not remove rust or mill scale. Change rags and cleaning solution
frequently so that deposits of oil and grease are not spread over additional areas in the
cleaning process. Be sure to allow adequate ventilation.
2.
Hand Tool Cleaning, SSPC-SP2: Hand Tool Cleaning removes all loose mill scale, loose
rust, and other detrimental foreign matter. It is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust,
and paint be removed by this process. Before hand tool cleaning, remove visible oil,
grease, soluble welding residues, and salts by the methods outlined in SSPC-SP1.
3.
Power Tool Cleaning, SSPC-SP3: Power Tool Cleaning removes all loose mill scale,
loose rust, and other detrimental foreign matter. It is not intended that adherent mill
scale, rust, and paint be removed by this process. Before power tool cleaning, remove
visible oil, grease, soluble welding residues, and salts by the methods outlined in SSPCSP1.
4.
White Metal Blast Cleaning, SSPC-SP5 or NACE 1: A White Metal Blast Cleaned
surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt,
dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter. Before
blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil or grease shall be removed by any of the methods
specified in SSPC-SP1 or other agreed upon methods.
5.
Commercial Blast Cleaning, SSPC-SP6 or NACE 3: A Commercial Blast Cleaned
surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt,
dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except
for staining. Staining shall be limited to no more than 33 percent of each square inch of
surface area and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discoloration
caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied paint. Before
blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil or grease shall be removed by any of the methods
specified in SSPC-SP1 or other agreed upon methods.
6.
Brush-Off Blast Cleaning, SSPC-SP7 or NACE 4: A Brush-Off Blast Cleaned surface,
when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, loose
mill scale, loose rust, and loose paint. Tightly adherent mill scale, rust, and paint may
PAINTING

remain on the surface. Before blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil or grease shall be
removed by any of the methods specified in SSPC-SP 1 or other agreed upon methods.
7.
Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal, SSPC-SP11: Metallic surfaces that are prepared
according to this specification, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all
visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxide corrosion products, and other
foreign matter. Slight residues of rust and paint may be left in the lower portions of pits if
the original surface is pitted. Prior to power tool surface preparation, remove visible
deposits of oil or grease by any of the methods specified in SSPC-SP1, Solvent
Cleaning, or other agreed upon methods.
8.
Near-White Blast Cleaning, SSPC-SP10 or NACE 2: A Near White Blast Cleaned
surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt,
dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except
for staining. Staining shall be limited to no more than 5 percent of each square inch of
surface area and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discoloration
caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied paint. Before
blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil or grease shall be removed by any of the methods
specified in SSPC-SP1 or other agreed upon methods.
9.
High- and Ultra-High Pressure Water Jetting for Steel and Other Hard Materials: SSPCSP12 or NACE 5: This standard provides requirements for the use of high- and ultrahigh pressure water jetting to achieve various degrees of surface cleanliness. This
standard is limited in scope to the use of water only without the addition of solid particles
in the stream.
10.
Water Blasting, SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5: Removal of oil grease dirt, loose rust, loose
mill scale, and loose paint by water at pressures of 2,000 to 2,500 psi at a flow of 4 to 14
gallons per minute.
J.
Vinyl Siding, Architectural Plastics, and Fiberglass: Clean thoroughly by scrubbing with a warm,
soapy water solution. Rinse thoroughly. Do not paint vinyl siding with any color darker than the
original color, unless the product and color are designed for such use. Painting with darker
colors may cause siding to warp.
K.
Wood: Must be clean and dry. Prime and paint as soon as possible. Knots and pitch streaks
must be scraped, sanded, and spot primed before a full priming coat is applied. Patch all nail
holes and imperfections with a wood filler or putty and sand smooth.

completed the work which the assignee or Subcontractor failed to complete at no additional cost to PSTA.
In the event of any noncompliance by any of the subcontractors, Contractor shall be directly and wholly
responsible for the noncompliance and shall bear all attributable costs.
9.03 Assignment by PSTA. PSTA may assign its rights and obligations under the Contract Documents to any
successor to the rights and functions of PSTA or to any governmental agency to the extent required by
applicable laws or governmental regulations or to the extent PSTA deems necessary or advisable under the
circumstances.
9.04 Provision for Other Governmental Entities: Unless otherwise stipulated by Contractor and PSTA in
writing, Contractor agrees to make available to all government agencies, entities, departments,
authorities, political subdivisions, counties, local school boards, special districts, transit authorities,
municipalities, or other governmental agencies or authorities, the bid prices submitted on the same terms
and conditions herein, should any said governmental entity desire to buy under this Agreement.
10. DELAY IN PERFORMANCE/FORCE MAJEURE.
10.01 Time of the Essence. The timely receipt of services and deliveries to PSTA is essential. If the Project
and all deliverables are not received on time, PSTA may cancel the unfilled portion of this Agreement for
cause, purchase substitute requirements elsewhere, and recover from Contractor any increased costs and
damages thereby incurred by PSTA.
10.02 Force Majeure. Contractor shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time from PSTA for the
delays resulting from damage to Contractor s and/or PSTA's property caused by fire, lightning,
earthquakes, tornadoes, and other extreme weather conditions, power failures, riots, acts of war, strikes
or lockouts beyond the control of Contractor and its subcontractors ( Force Majeure ). Any delay other
than one mentioned above shall constitute a breach of Contractor s obligations under the Contract
Documents.
10.03 Unavoidable Delay. If delivery of the Project, and all deliverables thereunder, is unavoidably
delayed, PSTA may extend the time for completion for a determined number of days of excusable delay. A
delay is unavoidable only if the delay was not reasonably expected to occur in connection with or during
Contractor s performance; was not caused directly or substantially by negligent errors, omissions, or
mistakes of Contractor, its subcontractors, or its suppliers or their agents; was substantial; and, in fact,
caused Contractor to miss delivery dates and could not adequately have been guarded against by
contractual or legal means.
10.04 No Damages for Delay. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim for damages on account of
hindrances or delays in the work from any cause whatsoever, including any delays or hindrances caused by
-367-
IFB # 13-013B
Pinellas Park Transit Center
PSTA. This paragraph shall include, but not be limited to, any actions which result in delays in scheduling,
substantial changes in scope of the Project or substantial increases in the costs of performing the work
under the Contract Documents.
10.05 Notification. Contractor will notify PSTA as soon as Contractor has, or should have, knowledge that
an event has occurred which will delay completion of the Project. Within five (5) working days, Contractor
will confirm such notice in writing, furnishing as much detail as is available and including any request for
extension of time. Contractor shall supply, as soon as such data is available, any reasonable proofs that are
required by PSTA to make a decision on any request for extension. PSTA will examine the request and any
documents supplied by Contractor and will determine if Contractor is entitled to an extension and the
duration of such extension. PSTA will notify Contractor of its decision in writing. It is expressly understood
and agreed that Contractor will not be entitled to any extension and the granting of such extension is in
the sole discretion of PSTA. It is further expressly understood that Contractor shall not be entitled to any
damages or compensation, and will not be reimbursed for any losses, on account of delays resulting from
any cause.
11. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be terminated with or without cause in accordance
with the provisions below.
11.01 Without Cause. If PSTA determines that it is in its best interest to do so, PSTA may terminate this
Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Contractor. If PSTA terminates this
Agreement pursuant to this subsection, Contractor shall promptly submit to PSTA its costs to be paid on
work performed up to the time of termination. If Contractor has any property belonging to PSTA in its
possession, Contractor shall account for the same and dispose of it as directed by PSTA.
11.02 With Cause. PSTA may terminate this Agreement with cause at any time immediately upon written
notice to Contractor, if: (1) Contractor fails to fulfill or abide by any of the terms or conditions specified in
the Contract Documents; (2) Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the Contract
Documents; or (3) Contractor does not provide services in accordance with the requirements of the
specifications in the Contract Documents. In its sole discretion, PSTA may allow Contractor an
appropriately short period of time in which to cure a defect in performance or non-performance. In such
case, PSTA s written notice of termination to Contractor shall state the time period in which cure is
permitted and other appropriate conditions, if applicable. Contractor may terminate this Agreement for
cause if PSTA fails to fulfill or abide by any duties or conditions specified in the Contract Documents,
provided that Contractor must first provide notice of the alleged breach to PSTA and give PSTA thirty (30)
days written notice to cure the alleged breach. If PSTA cures the alleged breach or is making a good faith
effort to cure said breach during the thirty (30) day cure period, Contractor may not terminate this
Agreement.
11.03 Reprocurement. Should this Agreement be terminated by PSTA for cause under this Section,
Contractor shall be liable for all expenses incurred by PSTA in reprocuring elsewhere the same or similar
items or services offered by Contractor.
11.04 Force Majeure. If it is later determined by PSTA that Contractor s failure to perform was a result of a
Force Majeure, PSTA may allow Contractor to continue performance under a new time for performance or
treat the termination as if terminated without cause under Section 11(a) of this Agreement.
11.05 Appropriation. In the event PSTA, in its sole discretion, determines that sufficient budgeted funds
are not available to appropriate for payments due to Contractor under this Agreement, PSTA shall notify
-368-
IFB # 13-013B
Pinellas Park Transit Center
Contractor of such occurrence and this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the current fiscal
period without any penalty or expense to PSTA.
11.06 Waiver of Remedies for any Breach. In the event that PSTA elects to waive its remedies for any
breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement, such waiver by PSTA shall only
be valid if set forth in writing and shall not limit PSTA's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of
any other term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement.
12. DISPUTES, BREACHES, DEFAULTS, OR OTHER LITIGATION.
12.01 Disputes. Disputes raised by Contractor, which are not resolved amicably by the Parties, shall be
decided in writing by PSTA s Project Manager. If Contractor disagrees with the decision of PSTA s Project
Manager, within ten (10) days from the date of PSTA s Project Manager s decision, Contractor shall furnish
a written appeal to PSTA s Chief Executive Officer. In connection with any such appeal, Contractor shall be
afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its position. The decision of PSTA s
Chief Executive Officer shall be binding upon Contractor and Contractor shall abide by the decision.
12.02 Performance during Dispute. Unless otherwise directed by PSTA, Contractor shall continue
performance under this Agreement while matters in dispute are being resolved.
12.03 Claims for Damages: Should either party suffer injury or damage to person or property because of
any act or omission of the party or of any of its employees, agents or others for whose acts it is legally
liable, a claim for damages therefore shall be made in writing to such other party within ten (10) days after
the first observance of such injury or damage.
12.04 Rights and Remedies: The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and the rights
and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations,
rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law. No action or failure to act by PSTA or
Contractor shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded any of them under this Agreement, nor
shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach thereunder,
except as may be specifically agreed in writing.
12.05 Attorneys Fees. In the event of legal action or other proceeding arising under this Agreement, PSTA
shall be entitled to recover from Contractor all its reasonable attorneys fees and cost incurred by PSTA in
the prosecution or defense of such action, or in any post-judgment or collection proceedings and whether
incurred before suit, at the trial level or at the appellate level. This shall include any bankruptcy
proceedings filed by or against Contractor. PSTA also shall be entitled to recover any reasonable
attorneys fees and costs incurred in litigating the entitlement to attorneys fees and costs, as well as in
determining the amount of attorneys fees and costs due to PSTA. The reasonable costs to which PSTA will
be entitled include costs that are taxable under any applicable statute, rule, or guideline, as well as costs of
investigation, copying costs, electronic discovery costs, mailing and delivery charges, costs of conducting
legal research, consultant and expert witness fees, travel expenses, court reporter fees and mediator fees,
regardless of whether such costs are taxable under any applicable statue, rule or guideline.

employees, agents and attorneys of, from, and against all liability and expense, including reasonable
attorneys fees, in connection with any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, and
suits in equity of whatever kind or nature, including claims for personal injury, property damage, equitable
relief, or loss of use, arising out of the execution, performance, nonperformance, or enforcement of this

Contractor s liability hereunder shall include all attorneys fees and costs incurred by PSTA in the
enforcement of this indemnification provision. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the

third party claim, without relieving Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder. If Contractor assumes
control of the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this paragraph, Contractor shall obtain
the prior written consent of PSTA before entering into any settlement of such claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this provision, Contractor shall not assume or maintain control of the defense
of any third party claim, but shall pay the fees of counsel retained by PSTA and all expenses including
experts fees, if (i) an adverse determination with respect to the third party claim would, in the good faith
judgment of PSTA, be detrimental in any material respect of PSTA s reputation; (ii) the third party claim
seeks an injunction or equitable relief against PSTA; or (iii) Contractor has failed or is failing to prosecute or
defend vigorously the third party claim. Each party shall cooperate, and cause its agents to cooperate, in
the defense or prosecution of any third party claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records
and information, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, or appeals, as may

may be imposed upon employees for violations.
3.
Give each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are under the offer a copy
of the statement specified in subsection (1).
4.
In the statement in subsection (1), notify employees that, as a condition of working on the commodities or
contractual services that are under the offer, the employee will abide by the terms of the statement and will notify
the employer of any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any violation of Chapter 893, or of any
controlled substance law of the US or any state, for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days
after such conviction.
5.
Impose a sanction on, or require the satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program
if available in the employee's community, by employees who are convicted.
Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of this section.
