The notice shall state the grounds for the potential suspension and/or debarment and shall offer the party the opportunity to respond to those grounds in writing. The Procurement Manager may also hold a meeting with the party to discuss those grounds, if the Procurement Manager determines a meeting is appropriate. After consideration of the party's written response and/or meeting with the party, the Procurement Manager may, after consultation with the Town Attorney’s Office, suspend or debar the party from consideration for award of future Town contracts.

(3) Conviction under state or federal antitrust statutes arising out of the submission of bids or proposals or contracts;
(4) Violation of contract provisions, as set forth below, of a character which is regarded by the Procurement Manager to be so serious as to justify debarment action:
A. Deliberate failure without good cause to perform in accordance with the contract documents or within the time limit provided in the contract;
B. A recent record of failure to perform or of unsatisfactory performance in accordance with the terms of one (1) or more contracts; provided that failure to perform or unsatisfactory performance caused by acts beyond the control of the contractor shall not be considered to be a basis for debarment;
C. Refusal to perform a contract after a contract is accepted by the Town and awarded to the vendor;
D. If a party made material misrepresentations in response to or related to a solicitation;
E. If a party is debarred by another governmental entity;
F. Any other cause the Procurement Manager determines to be so serious and compelling as to affect the responsibility as a contractor, including, but not limited to, debarment by another governmental entity for any cause listed in regulations; or
G. Violation of the ethical standards set forth in section 2-330.
H. Violation of requirements in Section 2-320 – Cone of Silence.

(e) Notice of decision. A copy of the decision under subsection (d) of this section shall be mailed or otherwise furnished immediately to the debarred or suspended person and any other party intervening.
(f) Appeal to the Special Magistrate.

A hearing before the Town’s Special Magistrate will be scheduled within 30 days receipt of the Notice of Appeal. After hearing the matter, the Special Magistrate shall render a decision regarding suspension or debarment and decide whether, or to the extent to which, the debarment or suspension was in accordance with this section. The decision of the Special Magistrate shall be final and conclusive.
(g) Statute of limitations. There is no statute of limitations regarding debarment. The Procurement Manager may debar parties whose contracts have ended.
Vendor/Consultant/Contractor acknowledges and agrees to utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify System to verify the employment eligibility of:
a) All persons employed by Vendor/Consultant/Contractor to perform employment duties within Florida during the term of the contract; and
b) All persons (including sub-vendors/subconsultants/subcontractors) assigned by Vendor/Consultant/Contractor to perform work pursuant to the contract. The Vendor/Consultant/Contractor acknowledges and agrees that use of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify System during the term of the contract is a condition of the contract with the Town of Davie.
By entering into this Contract, the Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 448.095, Fla. Stat., "Employment Eligibility," as amended from time to time. This includes but is not limited to utilization of the E-Verify System to verify the work authorization status of all newly hired employees, and requiring all subcontractors to provide an affidavit attesting that the subcontractor does not employ, contract with, or subcontract with, an unauthorized alien. The contractor shall maintain a copy of such affidavit for the duration of the contract. Failure to comply will lead to termination of this Contract, or if a subcontractor knowingly violates the statute, the subcontract must be terminated immediately. Any challenge to termination under this provision must be filed in the Circuit Court no later than 20 calendar days after the date of termination. If this contract is terminated for a violation of the statute by the Contractor, the Contractor may not be awarded a public contract for a period of 1 year after the date of termination. The Contractor shall be liable for any additional costs incurred by the Town as a result of the termination of this contract.
Contractor certifies and agrees that all personnel used in the performance of this work have had a criminal background check. The Town reserves the right to request copies of the criminal background check.
During the solicitation of any bid or proposal, any firm and its agents, officers or employees who intend to submit, or who have submitted, bids or proposals shall not lobby, either individually or collectively, any Town Council members, candidates for Town Council or any employee of the Town. Contact should only be made through regularly scheduled Town Council meetings, or meetings scheduled through the Procurement division for purposes of obtaining additional or clarifying information. Any action, including meals, invitations, gifts or gratuities by a submitting firm, its officers, agents, or employees shall be within the purview of this prohibition and shall result in the immediate disqualification of that firm from further consideration.
During a formal solicitation process, contact with personnel of the Town of Davie other than the Procurement Manager and/or designated representative regarding any such solicitation may be grounds for elimination from the selection process.
In accordance with Section 10.01 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, the Contractor understands that this Contract may be subject to investigation and/or audit by the Broward County Inspector General. The Contractor understands and agrees to his obligations under this ordinance. The Contractor further understands and agrees that in addition to all other remedies and consequences provided by law the failure of the Contractor or its subcontractors to fully cooperate with the Inspector General, when requested, may be deemed by the Town to be a material breach of the Contract justifying its termination.
Any contract may be renewed within the parameters set forth in solicitation document or negotiated terms. In the event of a term contract for goods and services that is scheduled to end because of the expiration of the contract, the Contractor shall continue the service upon the request of the Town Administrator or designee. The extension period shall not extend for more than ninety (90) days beyond the expiration date of the existing contract. The Contractor shall be compensated for the service at the rate in effect when this extension clause is invoked by the Town.
Prices shall remain firm and fixed for the term of the Contract, including any option or extension periods; however, the Contractor may offer incentive discounts to the Town at any time during the Contract term, including any renewal or extension thereof.
The cost for all items as quoted herein shall remain firm for the term of the contract. Costs for subsequent years and any extension term years shall be subject to an adjustment only if increases occur in the industry. However, unless very unusual and significant changes have occurred in the industry, such increases shall not exceed 3% per year or, whichever is less, the latest yearly percentage increase in the All Urban Consumers Price Index (CPU-U) (National) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Dept. of Labor. The yearly increase or decrease in the CPI shall be that latest index published and available ninety (90) days prior to the end of the contract year then in effect compared to the index for the same month one year prior. Any requested cost increase shall be fully documented and submitted to the Town at least ninety (90) days prior to the contract anniversary date. Any approved cost adjustments shall become effective upon the anniversary date of the contract. In the event the CPI or industry costs decline, the Town shall have the right to receive from the Contractor reduction in costs that reflect such cost changes in the industry. The Town may, after examination, refuse to accept the adjusted costs if they are not properly documented, increases are considered to be excessive, or decreases are considered to be insufficient. In the event the Town does not wish to accept the adjusted costs and the matter cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the Town, the contract can be cancelled without penalty by the Town upon giving thirty (30) days written notice to the Contractor.
The Town of Davie may, in its sole discretion, make an equitable adjustment in the Contract Terms and conditions and/or pricing. If pricing or availability of supply is affected by extreme or unforeseen volatility in the marketplace that satisfy all the following criteria: 1) the volatility is due to causes wholly beyond the successful bidder’s control; 2) the volatility affects the marketplace or industry, not just the particular successful bidder’s source of supply; 3) the effect on pricing or availability of supply is substantial; and 4) the volatility so affects the successful bidder that continued performance of the Contract would result in substantial loss. Any adjustment would require irrefutable evidence and written approval by the Procurement Manager, Town Administrator or Mayor and Council depending on the contract threshold and original signature authority established by Town of Davie Code Section 2-319. The Town may elect to provide a one-time increase, an increase for a predetermined period or an increase for the remainder of the contract. In the event of any market decreases the bidder shall in good faith provide the Town with reduced pricing.
The Town of Davie reserves the right to reject bids from bidders that are currently in litigation or that have previously been in litigation with the Town of Davie.
