5.8 SECOND PARTY, its employees, agents, and subcontractors shall maintain the

SECOND PARTY shall ensure that all employees execute non-disclosure agreements.

5.9 Disincentive Charges. One of COUNTY’s primary goals in entering this

Agreement is to ensure that service provided to the Airports and the Port is of the

highest standards. COUNTY will thus suffer damage if SECOND PARTY fails to

meet these standards and its obligations under this Agreement, and that, due to

the nature of certain breaches, the actual damage to COUNTY would be

impractical or difficult to remedy.

(a) In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement

commencing on the first (1st) day of the _________ month after the

Commencement Date, SECOND PARTY shall be subject to the

disincentive charges set forth in Section subparagraph (b) below, if

SECOND PARTY does not meet or satisfy the performance standards

specified in subparagraph (b) below. COUNTY’s actual damages if

SECOND PARTY fails to meet or satisfy the performance standards would

be impractical or difficult to determine. Thus, the amounts set forth in

subsection (b) below are the Parties’ reasonable estimate of COUNTY’s

damages in the event of such failure. COUNTY’s acceptance of a

disincentive payment, as a result of a Performance Standard Breach, will

not prevent COUNTY from exercising any other right or remedy for default

available to COUNTY under this Agreement, or under the at law or in

equity.

(b) Performance Standard Breaches. The following specified breaches are

"Performance Standard Breaches." SECOND PARTY shall pay to

COUNTY the amount specified below as a disincentive charge for the

applicable breach.

(i) NO SHOWS. Failure of SECOND PARTY’s employees, including

but not limited to security officers, to appear for duty at the place of

performance, with a fine of three times the base hourly rate for

each employee who fails to appear multiplied by the duration time

the employees were supposed to be on duty.

Page 12: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-11-

(ii) TARDINESS. Failure of SECOND PARTY’s employees, including

but not limited to security officers, to appear on time, with a fine of

three times the base hourly rate for each employee who fails to

appear multiplied by the duration time the employees were tardy.

5.10 Procedure for Determining a Performance Standard Breach. Except as

otherwise provided for under this Agreement, the determination as to

whether performance standards have been met is at the reasonable

discretion of the Airports and the Port, as applicable.

(a) Upon determining the existence of a Performance Standard Breach,

the Airports and the Port, as applicable, shall issue a written notice

to SECOND PARTY of the occurrence of the breach and

COUNTY’s claim for disincentive payment.

(b) The notice of Performance Standard Breach will become final

unless, no later than ten (10) days after SECOND PARTY receives

the notice of Performance Standard Breach, SECOND PARTY

provides the Airports and the Port, as applicable, with a written

statement from SECOND PARTY, accompanied by SECOND

PARTY’s evidence that the breach did not occur. The Airports and

the Port, as applicable, shall review that evidence and determine, in

his or her reasonable discretion, whether SECOND PARTY has

demonstrated that the breach did not occur.

(c) The Airports and the Port, as applicable, shall review SECOND

PARTY's evidence as soon as reasonably possible after timely

receipt of the evidence.

(d) The Airports and the Port, as applicable, shall render a decision

sustaining or reversing the determination that a breach occurred

and the claim for disincentive payment. A written notice of that

decision will be delivered to SECOND PARTY.

(e) If the written evidence is not received by the Airports and the Port,

as applicable, within ten (10) days of the date of the notice of

Performance Standard Breach, the determination is final and the

applicable disincentive charges is immediately due and payable.

less than eight (8) hour shift in a 24-hour period, then upon receipt of any such request from the Airports or Port, SECOND PARTY shall review its ability to provide such service without using security officers on their days off or past their regular tours of duty. If SECOND PARTY determines that it is unable to provide the requested services unless it uses security officers on their days off or past their regular tours of duty, SECOND PARTY shall give the Airports or Port written notice to that effect within forty-eight (48) hours of the request and the Airports or Port shall pay overtime for the services requested, at the Overtime Rate.

ARTICLE 12

EEO and CBE COMPLIANCE 12.1 No party to this Agreement may discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex,

religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or gender identity and expression in the performance of this Agreement. SECOND PARTY shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Broward County Business Enterprise ("CBE") Program in the award and administration of this Agreement. Failure by SECOND PARTY to carry out any of these requirements shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, which shall permit COUNTY, to terminate this Agreement or to exercise any other remedy provided under this Agreement, or under the Broward County Code of

Page 22: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-21-

Ordinances, or under the Broward County Administrative Code, or under applicable law, with all of such remedies being cumulative.

SECOND PARTY shall include the foregoing or similar language in its contracts with any subcontractors or subconsultants, except that any project assisted by the U.S. Department of Transportation funds shall comply with the non-discrimination requirements in 49 C.F.R. Parts 23 and 26. Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as COUNTY deems appropriate.

SECOND PARTY shall not unlawfully discriminate against any person in its operations and activities or in its use or expenditure of funds in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and shall not otherwise unlawfully discriminate in violation of Chapter 16½, Broward County Code of Ordinances. SECOND PARTY shall affirmatively comply with all applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the course of providing any services funded by COUNTY, including Titles I and II of the ADA (regarding nondiscrimination on the basis of disability), and all applicable regulations, guidelines, and standards.

By execution of this Agreement, SECOND PARTY represents that it has not been placed on the discriminatory vendor list as provided in Section 287.134, Florida Statutes. COUNTY hereby materially relies on such representation in entering into this Agreement. An untrue representation of the foregoing shall entitle COUNTY to terminate this Agreement and recover from SECOND PARTY all monies paid by COUNTY pursuant to this Agreement, and may result in debarment from COUNTY's competitive procurement activities.

12.2 The CBE Program, which is implemented under the Broward County Business

Opportunity Act of 2012 Section 1-81, Broward County Code of Ordinances, referred to as the "Act," provides for the establishment and implementation of CBE participation goals, initiatives, and other opportunities for COUNTY contracts. In completing this Project, SECOND PARTY shall comply with all applicable requirements of the CBE Program in the award and administration of the Agreement. SECOND PARTY acknowledges that the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, acting by and through the Director of the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development, may make minor administrative modifications to the CBE Program which shall become applicable to this Agreement if the administrative modifications are not unreasonable. Written notice of any such modification shall be provided to SECOND PARTY and shall include a deadline for SECOND PARTY to notify COUNTY if SECOND PARTY concludes that the modification exceeds the authority of this section of this Agreement. Failure of SECOND PARTY to timely notify COUNTY of its

Page 23: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-22-

conclusion that the modification exceeds such authority shall be deemed acceptance of the modification by SECOND PARTY. COUNTY shall have the right to review each proposed amendment, extension, modification, or change order to this Agreement that, by itself or aggregated with previous amendments, extensions, modifications, or change orders increases the initial Agreement price by ten percent (10%) for opportunities to include or increase the participation of CBE firms already involved in this Agreement. SECOND PARTY shall make a good faith effort to include CBE firms in work resulting from any such amendment, extension, modification, or change order and shall report such efforts, along with evidence thereof, to the Office of Economic and Small Business Development.

12.3 The Parties acknowledge that subcontract awards to CBE firms are crucial to the

achievement of the Project's CBE participation goal. SECOND PARTY understands that each CBE firm utilized on the Project to meet the participation goal must be certified by the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development. In an effort to assist COUNTY in achieving its established goal for this Project, SECOND PARTY will meet the following CBE participation goal by utilizing the CBE firms for the work and the percentage of work amounts described in Section 12.4:

Total CBE Goal %

SECOND PARTY may not terminate for convenience a CBE firm listed as a subcontractor in the SECOND PARTY'S bid or offer without county's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. SECOND PARTY shall inform COUNTY immediately when a CBE firm is not able to perform or if SECOND PARTY believes the CBE firm should be replaced for any other reason, so that the Office of Economic and Small Business Development may review and verify the good faith efforts of SECOND PARTY to substitute the CBE firm with another CBE firm. Whenever a CBE firm is terminated for any reason, including cause, SECOND PARTY shall with notice to and concurrence of the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development, substitute another CBE firm in order to meet the level of CBE participation provided herein. Such substitution shall not be required in the event the termination results from COUNTY changing the Scope of Work hereunder and there is no available CBE to perform the new Scope of Work.

12.4 In performing services for this Project, the Parties hereby incorporate SECOND

PARTY's participating CBE firms, addresses, scope of work, and the percentage of work amounts identified on each Letter of Intent into this Agreement (Exhibit "D").

Page 24: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-23-

contracts with such firms to the Contract Administrator and the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development.

12.5 SECOND PARTY shall allow COUNTY to engage in on-site reviews to monitor

SECOND PARTY's progress in achieving and maintaining its contractual and CBE Program obligations. Such review and monitoring shall be by the Contract Administrator in conjunction with the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development. COUNTY shall have access, without limitation, to SECOND PARTY's books and records, including payroll records, tax returns and records, and books of account, on five (5) business days' notice, to allow COUNTY to determine SECOND PARTY's compliance with its commitment to the CBE participation goal and the status of any CBE firm performing any portion of this Agreement.

12.6 SECOND PARTY understands that it is the responsibility of the Contract

Administrator and the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development to monitor compliance with the CBE requirements. In that regard, SECOND PARTY shall report monthly regarding compliance with its CBE obligations in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement.

12.7 In the event of SECOND PARTY's noncompliance with its participation commitment to a CBE firm (including without limitation the unexcused reduction of the CBE firm's participation), the affected CBE firm shall have the right to the following remedies if the noncompliance is or was alleged to be due to no fault of the CBE firm, and alleged to be due to the willful action or omission of SECOND PARTY: 12.7.1 The affected CBE firm shall be entitled to damages pursuant to its

agreement with SECOND PARTY.

12.7.2 If the CBE firm has the right to arbitrate and institutes arbitration proceedings claiming non-compliance with the Act by SECOND PARTY, then the CBE firm may submit the dispute to arbitration. However, arbitration shall not be available as to any dispute between SECOND PARTY and COUNTY; nor shall COUNTY incur any cost, fee, or liability relative to any arbitration proceeding.

12.7.3 Nothing under this Section 12.7 shall be construed to limit the rights of and remedies available to COUNTY, including the right to seek its own damages pursuant to this Agreement.

12.8 Nonpayment of a CBE subcontractor or supplier as required by Subsection 7.2.3

of this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement and COUNTY's Contract Administrator may, at its option, increase allowable retainage or withhold progress payments unless and until SECOND PARTY demonstrates

Page 25: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-24-

timely payments of sums due to such subcontractors or suppliers. SECOND PARTY acknowledges that the presence of a "pay when paid" provision in its contract with a CBE firm shall not preclude COUNTY or its representatives from inquiring into allegations of nonpayment. The foregoing remedies under this Section 8.8 shall not be employed when SECOND PARTY demonstrates that failure to pay results from a bona fide dispute with its CBE subcontractor or supplier.

12.9 If SECOND PARTY fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, or the requirements of the Broward County Business Opportunity Act of 2012, COUNTY shall have the right to exercise any administrative remedies provided by the Broward County Business Opportunity Act of 2012, or any other right or remedy provided in the Administrative Procedures of the Office of Economic and Small Business Development, this Agreement, or under applicable law, with all such rights and remedies being cumulative.

SECOND PARTY shall perform its duties, obligations, and services under this Agreement in a skillful and respectable manner. The quality of SECOND PARTY's performance and all interim and final product(s) provided to or on behalf of COUNTY shall be comparable to the best local and national standards.

14.10 CONFLICTS

Neither SECOND PARTY nor its employees shall have or hold any continuing or frequently recurring employment or contractual relationship that is substantially antagonistic or incompatible with SECOND PARTY's loyal and conscientious exercise of judgment and care related to its performance under this Agreement.

SECOND PARTY will ensure that it maintains separate employees, supervisors, and distinctive uniforms for contracts with other entities at the Airports or within the Port Jurisdictional Area. None of SECOND PARTY's officers or employees shall, during the term of this Agreement, serve as an expert witness against COUNTY in any legal or administrative proceeding in which he, she, or SECOND PARTY is not a party, unless compelled by court process. Further, such persons shall not give sworn testimony or issue a report or writing, as an expression of his or her expert opinion, which is adverse or prejudicial to the interests of COUNTY in connection with any such pending or threatened legal or administrative proceeding unless compelled by court process. The limitations of this section shall not preclude SECOND PARTY or any persons in any way from representing themselves, including giving expert testimony in support thereof, in any action or in any administrative or legal proceeding.

In the event SECOND PARTY is permitted pursuant to this Agreement to utilize subcontractors to perform any services required by this Agreement, SECOND

During the performance of this contract, the Consultant/Contractor/Tenant/ Concessionaire/Lessee/Permittee/Licensee for itself, its personal representatives, assigns and successors in interest (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Contractor") agrees as follows:

(a) Compliance With Regulations. The Contractor shall comply with the

Regulations relative to nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Transportation (hereinafter, "DOT") Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, as they may be amended from time to time (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract.

(b) Nondiscrimination. The Contractor shall not discriminate on the

grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation in the selection and retention of subconsultants, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The Contractor shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the Regulations, including employment practices when the contract covers a program set forth in Appendix B of the Regulations.

(c) Solicitation for Subconsultants, Including Procurement of Materials

and Equipment. In all solicitation either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the Contractor for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurement of materials or leases of equipment, each potential subconsultant or supplier shall be notified by the Contractor of the Contractor's obligation under this contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation.

(d) Information and Reports. The Contractor shall provide all

information and reports required by the Regulations or directives issued pursuant thereto and shall permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the County or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with

(g) The Contractor, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby

covenant and agree that in the event facilities are constructed, maintained, or otherwise operated on the said property described in this contract, for a purpose for which a DOT program or activity is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, the Contractor shall maintain and operate such facilities and services in compliance with all other requirements imposed pursuant to 49 CFR Part 21, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Transportation, and as said Regulation may be amended.

II. NONDISCRIMINATION - 14 CFR PART 152 REQUIREMENTS

During the performance of this contract, the Contractor, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest agrees as follows:

The Contractor agrees to undertake an affirmative action program as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to insure that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation be excluded from participation in any employment, contracting, or leasing activities covered in 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E. The Contractor agrees that no person shall be excluded on these grounds from participating in or receiving the services or benefits of any program or activity covered by this Subpart. The Contractor agrees that it will require its covered suborganizations to provide assurances to the Contractor that they similarly will undertake affirmative action programs and that they will require assurances from their suborganizations as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to the same effect.

The Contractor agrees to comply with any affirmative action plan or steps for equal employment opportunity required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, as part of the affirmative action program, and by any federal, state, County or local agency or court, including those resulting from a conciliation agreement, a consent decree, court order or similar mechanism. The Contractor agrees that state or County affirmative action plans will be used in lieu of any affirmative action plan or steps required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, only when they fully meet the standards set forth in 14 CFR 152.409. The Contractor agrees to obtain a similar assurance from its

Page 51: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-4-

covered organizations, and to cause them to require a similar assurance of their covered suborganizations, as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E.

If required by 14 CFR Part 152, Contractor shall prepare and keep on file for review by the FAA Office of Civil Rights an affirmative action plan developed in accordance with the standards in Part 152. The Contractor shall similarly require each of its covered suborganizations (if required under Part 152) to prepare and to keep on file for review by the FAA Office of Civil Rights, an affirmative action plan developed in accordance with the standards in Part 152.

If Contractor is not subject to an affirmative action plan, regulatory goals and timetables, or other mechanism providing for short and long-range goals for equal employment opportunity under Part 152, then Contractor shall nevertheless make good faith efforts to recruit and hire minorities and women for its aviation workforce as vacancies occur, by taking any affirmative action steps required by Part 152. Contractor shall similarly require such affirmative action steps of any of its covered suborganizations, as required under Part 152.

Contractor shall keep on file, for the period set forth in Part 152, reports (other than those submitted to the FAA), records, and affirmative action plans, if applicable, that will enable the FAA Office of Civil Rights to ascertain if there has been and is compliance with this subpart, and Contractor shall require its covered suborganizations to keep similar records as applicable.

Contractor shall, if required by Part 152, annually submit to the County the reports required by Section 152.415 and Contractor shall cause each of its covered suborganizations that are covered by Part 152 to annually submit the reports required by Section 152.415 to the Contractor who shall, in turn, submit same to the County for transmittal to the FAA.

III. NONDISCRIMINATION - GENERAL CIVIL RIGHTS PROVISIONS

The Contractor, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest agrees that it will comply with pertinent statutes, Executive Orders and such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, familial status, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from Federal assistance. This Provision obligates the Contractor or its transferee, for the period during which Federal assistance is extended to the airport program, except where Federal assistance is to provide, or is in the form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures or improvements thereon.

6. TRADE RESTRICTION CLAUSES TO BE INCLUDED IN ALL SOLICITATIONS, CONTRACTS, AND SUBCONTRACTS

The consultant/contractor or subconsultant/subcontractor, by submission of an offer and/or execution of a contract, certifies that it:

a. Is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign

country included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR); and

b. Has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this

project with a person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country on said list, or is owned or controlled directly or indirectly by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on said list; and

c. Has not procured any product nor subcontracted for the supply of

any product for use on the project that is produced in a foreign country on said list.

Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to a consultant/ contractor or subconsultant/subcontractor who is unable to certify to the above. If the consultant/contractor knowingly procures or subcontracts for the supply of any product or service of a foreign country on said list for use on the project, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct through the County cancellation of the contract at no cost to the Government.

Further, the consultant/contractor agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in each contract and in all lower tier subcontracts. The consultant/ contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subconsultant/subcontractor unless it has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.

The consultant/contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the County if the consultant/contractor learns that its certification or that of a subconsultant/ subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The subconsultant/subcontractor agrees to provide written notice to the consultant/contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making the award. If it is later determined that the

Page 56: AGREEMENT BROWARD COUNTY SECURITY OFFICER SERVICES … · 2.33 Shift shall mean the duration of a security officer’s daily assignment to provide security services to the Airports

-4-

consultant/ contractor or subconsultant/subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation administration may direct through the County cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Government.

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a consultant/contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.

7. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT (ALL CONTRACTS IN EXCESS OF

$10,000)

a. The County may, by written notice, terminate this contract in whole or in part at any time, either for the County's convenience or because of failure to fulfill the contract obligations. Upon receipt of such notice, services shall be immediately discontinued (unless the notice directs otherwise) and all materials as may have been accumulated in performing this contract, whether completed or in process, delivered to the County.

b. If the termination is for the convenience of the County, an equitable

adjustment in the contract price shall be made, but no amount shall be allowed for anticipated profit on unperformed services.

c. If the termination is due to failure to fulfill the consultant's/contractor's

obligations, the County may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. In such case, the consultant/ contractor shall be liable to the County for any additional cost occasioned to the County thereby.

d. If, after notice of termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it

is determined that the consultant/contractor had not so failed, the termination shall be deemed to have been effected for the convenience of the County. In such event, adjustment in the contract price shall be made as provided in paragraph b of this clause.

CONTRACTS OVER $25,000 (AND FOR ALL CONTRACTS FOR AUDITING SERVICES REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT)

The bidder/offeror/consultant/contractor certifies, by submission of this proposal or acceptance of this contract, that neither it nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal department or agency. It further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include this clause without modification in all lower tier transactions, solicitations, proposals, contracts, and subcontracts. Where the bidder/offeror/consultant/contractor or any lower tier participant is unable to certify to this statement, it shall attach an explanation to this solicitation/proposal.

9. RESTRICTIONS ON LOBBYING

The bidder/offeror/consultant/contractor agrees that no federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid by or on behalf of the bidder/offeror/consultant/ contractor, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence any officer or employees of any federal agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the making of any federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement.

If any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid by the bidder/offeror/consultant/contractor to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any federal agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions.

10. PROMPT PAYMENT - FOR FEDERALLY ASSISTED CONTRACTS

If this Agreement is funded by any federal grants, then consultant/contractor hereby agrees to pay its subconsultants/subcontractors and suppliers within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of payment from the County. Consultant/contractor further agrees, if consultant/contractor has withheld retainage from its subconsultants/subcontractors, to release such retainage and pay same within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of payment of retained amounts from the County, or within thirty (30) calendar days after a subconsultant/subcontractor has satisfactorily completed its work, whichever shall first occur. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subconsultant/subcontractors.

A finding of non-payment is a material breach of this contract. County may, at its option, increase allowable retainage or withhold progress payments unless and until the consultant/contractor demonstrates timely payments of sums due subconsultant/subcontractor. The presence of a "pay when paid" provision in a contract shall not preclude County inquiry into allegations of non-payment. Further that the remedies above shall not be employed when the consultant/contractor demonstrates that failure to pay results from a bonafide dispute with its subconsultant/subcontractor or supplier. The consultant/contractor shall incorporate this provision into all subcontracts involving federally assisted contracts.

The Assistant Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Liaison Officer will conduct meetings with parties involved in prompt payment disputes to facilitate an amicable resolution
