The City is requesting that Respondents provide detailed information regarding any known or potential recycled material content in the product that may be extracted and recycled after the product has served its intended purpose, on the Respondents Questionnaire as provided in this solicitation.
If the specifications contained herein require the use of recovered materials, by submitting a submittal or response to this solicitation, a respondent agrees and certifies that it will meet such requirement.

As set forth in City Policy and Procedure 161.3 (for a copy, contact Procurement at 407.246.2291). Covered Service Contractors, as well as their subcontractors (first tier only for non-construction, all tiers for construction), shall pay to all of their employees providing Covered Services pursuant to a contract with the City, a living wage for the time spent providing services to the City. (This provision does not include general administrative personnel unless they are assigned to a City project.) “Living wage” means compensation for employment of not less than $15.00 per hour for straight time, exclusive of FICA, unemployment taxes, and workers compensation insurance and employee benefits. Unless amended by the parties, the applicable Living Wage rate in effect when the solicitation is issued shall be applicable for the entire term of the resulting contract, including any renewals. Necessary payroll documentation shall be provided to confirm compliance with this provision or the Respondent shall allow the City to audit (at Respondent’s place of business) its payroll records to determine if compliance has been achieved.

This provision shall apply to all awards for services which involve City expenditures that exceed $100,000.00 per year.
More particularly, this provision shall apply to single and multiple award Contracts for services regardless of the initial value of the award whenever City expenditures exceed $100,000.00 in any one Contract year. As for multiple award Contracts (Contract award which will be divided among several Contractors), at the point when the City has expended $100,000.00 on that Contract in any one-Contract year, regardless of whether such expenditure was to one Contractor or several, then the living wage provision shall apply to all Contractors who are a party to that award. For those Contracts whose initial value was less than $100,000.00 but exceeded $100,000.00 prior to the end of the Contract term, this provision will be applicable to that Contract in the next quarter. To further clarify, the Living Wage policy does not apply to part time employees, or the part time employees of all subcontractors. Furthermore, the workers of temporary employment agencies are not covered by the City’s Living Wage Policy.
This solicitation shall be included and incorporated in the purchase order or contract resulting from this solicitation.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the purchase order or contract, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the contract or purchase order, the City's solicitation, and the Respondent's submittal, the order of precedence shall be the contract or purchase order, followed by the solicitation, and then the response to the solicitation.

The parties understand and agree that time is of the essence in the performance of the contract.

Any such causes of delay, even though existing on the date of the Agreement or on the date of the start of Work, shall extend the time of the Contractor's or City's performance respectively, by the length of the delays occasioned thereby, including delays reasonably incident to the resumption of normal Work schedules. However, under such circumstances as described herein, the City’s Chief Procurement Officer may at the CPO’s discretion, cancel the contract for the convenience of the City.

If any section, sentence, clause, phrase, provision, or other portion of the contract is, for any reason, held invalid or unconstitutional by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the contract. The contract is solely for the benefit of the parties to the contract and no causes of action shall accrue upon or by reason thereof to or for the benefit of any third parties.
The City’s Chief Procurement Officer or written designee shall have authority to act on behalf of the City in matters related to the contract, including but not limited to the sending and receiving of any notices required hereunder.
