unless otherwise noted, are performed at no cost to DART and do not entitle the successful bidder to any

Upon receipt of a protest, the Procurement Manager shall notify parties involved in the procurement as

contractor will cooperate with DART in meeting its DBE goal and shall have the maximum practical
opportunity to compete for subcontract work under this contract. The current DART DBE goal is 0.53

DBE’s, the bidder agrees to take affirmative action to the greatest extent practicable including good faith
effort to identify qualified DBE firms for supplies and services to this bid. Failure by the Contractor,
subrecipient, or subcontractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of the contract,
agreement or Purchase Order, which may result in the termination of this (contract or agreement) or such
other remedy as DART deems appropriate.

evaluation of proposals received and shall govern claims and disputes between Proposer(s) and DART by

5.20. EXCEPTIONS
Proposer is advised that if it wishes to take exception to any of the terms contained in this RFP it must
identify the term and the exception in its response to the procurement. Failure to do so may lead DART
to declare any such term non-negotiable. Consultant’s desire to take exception to a non-negotiable term

Liaison Officer may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as DART
deems appropriate.
D) DART MONITORING AND REPORTING.
The prime contractor understands that DART will bring to the attention of the Department of
Transportation any false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the program, so that
DOT can take the steps (e.g. referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral to
FY16-R-012
Transit Advertising Sales, Production, Installation and Removal
38
the DOT inspector General, action under suspension and debarment of Program Fraud or Civil
Penalties rules) provided in 26.109. The prime contractor understands that DART will consider similar
action under their own legal authorities, including responsibility determinations in future contracts.

The contractor agrees to permit any of the foregoing parties to reproduce by any means whatsoever
or to copy excerpts and transcriptions as reasonably needed.

contract for a period of not less than three years after the date of termination or expiration of this
contract, except in the event of litigation or settlement of claims arising from the performance of this
contract, in which case Contractor agrees to maintain same until DART, the FTA Administrator, the
U.S. Secretary of Transportation, the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly
authorized representatives have disposed of all such litigation, appeals, claims or exceptions related
thereto. Reference 49 CFR 18.39(i)(11).

subcontract financed in whole or in part with federal assistance provided by FTA. It is further
agreed that the clause shall not be modified, except to identify the subcontractor who will be
subject to its provisions.

whether or not expressly set forth in the preceding contract provisions. All contractual provisions required
by DOT, as set forth in FTA Circular 4220.1F, dated November 1, 2008, (also see Change 1) are hereby

Exhibit A

Page 1 of 2
Scope:
DART Employees and Contractors
Responsible Department:
Engagement
Effective Date:
January 5, 2016
Approved By:
DART Commission
The Des Moines Regional Transit Authority (“DART”) is a regional transit system created under
section 28M of the Code of the State of Iowa. DART owns and operates buses, bus shelters, a
garage and other properties (collectively referred to as “transit facilities”) in conjunction with its
regional transit system. It is in the public interest to make advertising space available on certain
designated transit facilities to generate revenue and help fund the operation of the regional
transit system.
I. PURPOSE
1.01
Nonpublic Forum; Commercial / Proprietary Functions. DART will make space on its transit
facilities available for limited types of advertising (“Permitted Advertising”). By allowing limited
types of advertising on or within its buses and/or bus shelters, DART does not intend to create a
public forum for public discourse or expressive activity, or to provide a forum for all types of
advertisements. The display of Permitted Advertising on designated transit facilities is intended
only to supplement fare revenue, tax proceeds and other income that fund the regional transit
system.
1.02
Certain Excluded Advertising. DART will not accept for display or play through audio on its
transit facilities the types of advertising defined in Section 2.01 of these policies and
standards (“Excluded Advertising”). By not accepting Excluded Advertising, DART’
intention is to:
(a) maintain a professional advertising environment that maximizes advertising revenues
and minimizes interference or disruption of the commercial aspects of its regional
transit system;
(b) maintain and portray an image of neutrality on political matters and other
noncommercial issues that may be the subject of public debate and concern;
(c) protect passengers, employees and DART transit facilities from harm or damage that
can result from some individual’s reactions to political or controversial materials; and
(d) avoid any decrease in transit ridership.
1.03
Limits on Permitted Advertising. Placing reasonable limits on Permitted Advertising
displayed or played on its transit facilities will enable DART to:
(a) avoid subjecting its passengers and other members of the public to material that may
discourage them from using regional transit services;
(b) maintain an image of professionalism and decorum;

Transit Advertising Sales, Production, Installation and Removal
57
(c) avoid displaying material that is not suitable for viewing by minors who ride on DART
Transit buses or those individuals whose neighborhoods are served by DART Transit bus
routes; and
(d) maximize revenues by attracting and maintaining the patronage of passengers.
II. ADVERTISING POLICIES
2.01
Excluded Advertising. For the purposes of these policies and standards, the advertising
described in this Section 2.01 is “Excluded Advertising.” DART will not accept the following
Excluded Advertising for display, posting or placement on or within its buses, or other transit
facilities:
(a) Alcoholic Beverages. DART will not accept audio or display advertisements and
images soliciting or promoting the sale or use of alcoholic beverages.
(b) Tobacco Products. DART will not accept audio or display advertisements and images
soliciting or promoting the sale or use of tobacco products including, but not limited
to, cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco.
(c) Advertisements Affecting Image or Operation. DART will not accept audio or display
advertisements and images that threaten or adversely affect: the public image of
DART; DART’S ability to operate its transit facilities; or DART’S ability to attract and
maintain the patronage of passengers.
2.02
Permitted Advertising. Subject to the viewpoint-neutral standards contained in Section
3.01 of these policies and standards, DART will accept “Permitted Advertising” for play,
display, or placement on designated DART transit facilities. For the purposes of these
policies, “Permitted Advertising” is advertising that:
(a) Does not qualify as Excluded Advertising under Section 2.01.
(b) Generally relates to the economic interests of the advertiser and its audience.
(c) Includes advertising delivered through electronic, audio, and printed media.
Advertising defined in Section 3.02 and 3.03 also is Permitted Advertising.
2.03
Prohibitions on Literature or Product Distribution and Leafleting. DART’S purpose in
operating a regional transit system is to meet the public’s need for efficient, effective and
safe public transportation. DART transit facilities are not intended to be public forums for
public discourse or expressive activity. Literature or product distributions, leafleting and
similar activities can disrupt or delay passengers who are boarding and exiting buses and
other transit vehicles, distract passengers, distract bus operators, cause maintenance
issues, and otherwise create safety issues for passengers, operators and surrounding traffic.
Accordingly, political campaign activities, distribution of political or issues campaign
literature, leafleting, and other informational or campaign activities are prohibited within
DART transit buses or other transit vehicles and within DART bus shelters. Notwithstanding
the policies that allow the play or display of Permitted Advertising on designated DART
Transit facilities, nothing in these policies or standards authorizes or permits advertisers to

III. ADVERTISING STANDARDS AND RESTRICTIONS
3.01
Advertising Standards and Restrictions. DART will make available on
designated DART transit facilities space for advertisements subject to the viewpoint-neutral
restrictions in this Section 3.01 that limit certain forms of paid and unpaid advertising.
Advertisements cannot be played, displayed or maintained on DART transit facilities if the
advertisement or information contained in the advertisement falls within one or more of
the following categories:
(a) False, Misleading, Deceptive or Disrespectful Advertising. Advertising or any material
or information in the advertising that is false, misleading or deceptive, or that is
intended to be (or reasonably could be interpreted as being) disparaging,
disreputable or disrespectful to persons, groups, businesses or organizations, including
advertising that portrays individuals as inferior, evil or contemptible because of their
race, color, creed, sex, pregnancy, age, religion, ancestry, national origin, marital
status, disability, including those related to pregnancy or child birth, affectional or
sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state or local
law.
(b) Unauthorized Endorsement. Advertising that implies or declares that DART endorses a
product, service, point-of-view, event or program.
The prohibition against
endorsement does not apply to advertising for a service, event or program for which
DART is an official sponsor, co-sponsor or participant, provided DART’S General
Manager or other designated representative gives prior written approval regarding the
endorsement.
(c) Obscene or Offensive Material. Advertising that contains obscene or offensive
materials. “Obscene materials” for purposes of this policy are material(s) that display
information that, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in sex and depicts
or describes, in a patently offensive manner, sexual conduct and which, taken as a
whole, does not have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value, or otherwise
qualifies as “obscene material” as that phrase is defined in the Iowa Code section
728.1(5). “Offensive materials” means displays or information that would be offensive
to a reasonably prudent person of average sensitivity in the community, including
advertising that contains derisive, distorted, immoral, profane or disreputable
language or impressions.
(d) Unlawful Goods or Services. Advertising or any material or information in the advertising
that depicts, promotes or reasonably appears to encourage the use or possession of
unlawful or illegal goods or services.

depicts, promotes or reasonably appears to encourage unlawful or illegal behavior or
conduct, including unlawful behavior of a violent or antisocial nature; is libelous or an
infringement of copyright; is otherwise unlawful or illegal; or is likely to subject DART to
liability.
(f) Adult Entertainment. Advertising that promotes or displays images associated with
adult book stores, adult video stores, nude dance clubs and other adult entertainment
establishments, adult telephone services, adult internet sites and escort services.
(g) Graffiti. Advertising that uses images or symbols that depict or represent graffiti.
(h) Illegal Firearms and Weapons. Advertising that contains images or depictions of illegal
firearms or other weapons, or the unlawful use of firearms or other weapons.
(i) Internet Addresses and Telephone Numbers. Advertising that directs viewers to internet
addresses or telephone numbers that contain materials, images or information that
would violate these advertising standards if the materials, images or information were
contained in advertising displayed or posted on DART transit facilities.
(j) Distractions and Interference. Advertising that incorporates or displays any rotating,
revolving, or flashing devices or other moving parts or any word, phrase, symbol or
character, any of which are likely to interfere with, mislead or distract traffic or conflict
with any traffic control device or motor vehicle regulation.

3.03
Other Permitted Advertising and Public Service Announcements. DART may make
advertising space available for advertising proposed by governmental entities, academic
institutions or tax-exempt, 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations (examples include: ads focusing
on personal health or wellness issues, or ads informing the public about programs, services
or events). Non- profit entities must document their IRS tax-exempt status. On a limited
basis, DART may make unpaid advertising space available for such permitted advertising
or public service announcements. Costs associated with the design, production,
installation and removal of public service announcements are the responsibility of the
group or organization requesting the public service announcement. The advertising and
public service announcements permitted under this section cannot contain displays or
messages that qualify as Excluded Advertising under Section 2.01 and must comply with

service announcement is obvious from the content or copy, the advertisement or public
service announcement must specifically identify the sponsor of the advertisement or the
message.
3.04
Space Availability. DART limits the amount of space on its transit facilities available for
advertising and does not represent that it can accommodate all requests for advertising
space. Advertising space will be made available only on DART transit facilities designated

displayed, posted or placed on any other DART transit facilities.
3.05

any time. Subject to any then existing contractual obligations, DART reserves the right to
discontinue advertising on DART transit facilities and discontinue accepting advertising for
display or posting on DART transit facilities. DART reserves the right to limit the availability
of advertising space on its transit facilities and remove advertising that does not comply
with these advertising policies and standards and, subject to any contractual obligations.

Committee will make a decision on the request and will notify the advertiser of its decision
in writing within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the advertiser’s request.
