The 1989 Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 458 creating Sections 287.132 -133, Florida
Statutes, effective July 1, 1989. Section 287.132(3)(d), Florida Statutes, requires the Florida
Department of General Services to maintain and make available to other political entities a
"convicted vendor" list consisting of persons and affiliates who are disqualified from public and
purchasing process because they have been found guilty of a public entity crime. A public entity
crime is described by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any State or Federal law by
a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity in
Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States,
including, but not limited to, any bid or Agreement for goods or services to be provided to any public
entity or with an agency or political subdivision and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery,
collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
By law no public entity shall accept any bid from, award any Agreement to, or transact any
business in excess of the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, for
category two (currently $10,000) with any person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list for a period
of 36 months from the date that person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list unless that
person or affiliate has been removed from the list pursuant to Section 287.133(3)(f), Florida Statutes.
Therefore, effective October 1, 1990, prior to entering into an Agreement (formal Agreement
or purchase order) in excess of the threshold amount of $10,000 to provide goods or services to THE
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, a person shall file a sworn statement with the Contract/Agreement officer

information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or

There has been a proceeding concerning the conviction before a hearing officer of the State
of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings. The final order entered by the hearing officer did not
place the person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list. (Please attach a copy of the final order.)
The person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list. There has been a subsequent
proceeding before a hearing officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings. The

according to specification section and paragraph for easy reference. After written approval is received by the
Contractor, submission shall become a part of the Contract and may not be deviated from except upon written
approval of the City.
Catalog data for equipment approved by the City does not in any case supersede the Contract Documents. The
acceptance by the City shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for deviations from Plans or
Specifications, unless he has called the City's attention, in writing, to such deviations at the time of submission,
nor shall it relieve him from responsibility for errors of any sort in the items submitted. The Contractor shall
check the work described by the catalog data with the Contract Documents for deviations and errors.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to insure that items to be furnished fit the space available. He
shall make necessary field measurements to ascertain space requirements, including those for connections, and
shall order such sizes and shapes of equipment that the field installation shall suit the true intent and meaning
of the Plans and Specifications.

responsibility of the Contractor to install the equipment to operate properly, and in harmony with the intent of
the Plans and Specifications, and to make all changes in the Work required by the different arrangement of
connections at his own expense.

will be considered if-
(a)
£
(a) The equipment and/or materials proposed for substitution is determined by the City to be
equal or superior to that specified in the Contract;
(b) Unless determined to be of superior quality, the equipment and/or material proposed for
substitution is less expensive than that specified and that such savings to the City, as proposed
by the Contractor, are submitted with the request for substitution. If the substitution is
approved, the Contract price shall be reduced accordingly; and
A-31
(c) The equipment and/or material proposed for substitution is readily available and its delivery
and use, if approved as a substitution, will not delay the scheduled start and completion of the
specified work for which it is intended or the scheduled completion of the entire work to be
completed under the contract.
No request will be considered unless submitted in writing to the City and approval by the City must also be in
writing. To receive consideration, requests for substitutions must be accompanied by documentary proof of the
actual difference in cost to the Contractor in the form of quotations to the contractor covering the original
equipment and/or material, and also equipment and/or material proposed for substitution or other proof
satisfactory to the City. It is the intention that the City shall receive the full benefit of the saving in cost
involved in any substitution unless the item is substituted for one designated in the Specifications by specific
manufacturer's name and type, in which case one-third of the savings shall accrue to the benefit of the
Contractor.
In all cases, the burden of proving adequate proof that the equipment and/or material offered for substitution is
equal or superior in construction and/or efficiency to that named in the Contract shall rest on the Contractor
and the proof will be submitted to the City. Request for substitution of equipment and/or material which the
Contractor cannot prove to the satisfaction of the City, at its sole discretion and judgment, to be equal or
superior in construction and/or efficiency to that named in the Contract will not be approved.

completion of the various portions of the Work in general harmony.
9.11 SEPARATE CONTRACTS
The City may let other contracts in connection with the Work of the Contractor. The Contractor shall cooperate

Contractor's responsibility to inspect all work by other contractors affecting Contractor's work and to report to

its subcontractors and their direct or indirect employees, to the same extent as he is responsible for the acts and
omissions of its employees. The Contract Documents shall not be construed as creating a contractual relation
between any subcontractors and the City. The Contractor shall bind every subcontractor by the terms of the
Contract Documents.
For convenience of reference and to facilitate the letting of contracts and subcontracts, the Specifications are
separated into title sections. Such separations shall not, however, operate to make the Engineer or City an
arbiter to establish limits to the contracts between the Contractor and subcontractors.
9.13 WORK DURING AN EMERGENCY
The Contractor shall perform any work and shall furnish and install materials and equipment necessary during
an emergency endangering life or property. In all cases, Contractor shall notify the Engineer and City of the

waiver or modification.

The City shall have the right to use, occupy, or place into operation any portion of the Work that has been
completed sufficiently to permit safe use, occupancy, or operation, as determined by the Engineer. If such use,
occupancy, or operation increases the cost of or delays the Work, the Contractor shall be entitled to extra
compensation, or an extension of time, or both, as determined by the Engineer. However, if Contractor has
failed to complete the Work in accordance with the time requirements of the Agreement, no compensation
(including set -offs to liquidated damages) shall be allowed for such use or occupancy.
9.18 CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK
Until acceptance of the Work by the City, it shall be under the charge and care of the Contractor, and he shall
take every necessary precaution against injury or damage to the Work by the action of the elements or from any
other cause whatsoever, whether arising from the execution or from the non -execution of the Work. The
Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore and make good, without additional compensation, all injury or damage
to any portion of the Work occasioned by any cause, other than the sole and active negligence of the City,
before its completion and acceptance.

complete breakdown of the contract amount showing the value assigned to each part of the Work, including an
allowance for profit and overhead within ten (10) days of the execution of the Contract by the parties. Upon
approval of the breakdown of the contract amount by the Engineer and the City, it shall be used as the basis for
all requests for payment.

necessary information relative to the progress and execution of the Work. In addition to each month's invoice,
an updated project schedule shall be submitted.
Each request for payment shall be computed from the work completed to date on all items listed in the detailed
breakdown of the contract amount less previous payments and back charges. Progress payments on account of
A-45
Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed at the time the payment request was dated
by the Contractor. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the
project but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the payment
request shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranty that the City has
received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances,
all of which shall be satisfactory to the City. No payments shall be made for materials stored on site without
approval of the City.
An amount of 10% of each monthly pay request shall be retained until final completion and written acceptance
of the Work by the City. Payment of the retainage shall be included in the Contractor's final pay request in
accordance with Paragraph 10.14. Any deviation in the release or partial release of the 10% retainage shall be

inspection".
Any request for payment shall be accompanied by claim releases for work done or materials furnished in
accordance with Paragraph 10.13.

reduced by written change order.
(b) Work covered by the request for payment which is not in accordance with the Plans,
Specifications and generally accepted construction practices, including if, in the opinion of the
City, there is sufficient evidence that the Work has not been satisfactorily completed, or based
upon tests and/or inspections the work is defective or has been damaged requiring correction
or replacement.
A-46
(c) In the event of a filing of a claim or lien, or information received by City of a
potential filing of a claim or lien against the Contractor or City.
(d) Failure of the Contractor to make payments to subcontractors, material suppliers
or labor.
(e) Damage to another contractor.
(f) The City has had to correct a defect in the Work, or there are other items entitling

(g) Default of any of the provisions of the Contract Documents.
10.5 PAYMENT FOR UNCORRECTED WORK
Should the City direct, in writing, the Contractor not to correct work that has been damaged or that was not

be made to compensate the City for the uncorrected work.
10.6 PAYMENT FOR REJECTED WORK AND MATERIALS
The removal of work and materials rejected under Paragraph 5.3 and the re-execution of work by the
Contractor shall be at the expense of the Contractor and the Contractor shall pay the cost of replacing the

subsequent re-execution of that work. In the event that City incurs expenses related thereto, Contractor shall
pay for the same within thirty (30) days after written notice to pay is given by the City. If the Contractor does
not pay the expenses of such removal, after ten (10) days written notice being given by the City of its intent to
sell the materials, the City may sell the materials and shall pay to the Contractor the net proceeds there from
after deducting all the costs and expenses that are incurred by the City.
If the proceeds do not cover the expenses incurred by the City, such additional amounts may be set-off against
any payments due Contractor.

be paid the Contractor and whether it is an addition or a reduction of the original total contract cost. Should
additional or supplemental drawings be required, they will be furnished by the Engineer. All Change Orders
shall address the impact of the change on both Contract Price / Cost and Contract Time / Schedule.

Claims arising from changes or revisions made by the Contractor at the City's request shall be presented to the
City before work starts on the changes or revisions. If the Contractor deems that extra compensation is due for
work not covered herein, or in Supplemental Agreement, the Contractor shall notify the City in writing of its
intention to make claim for extra compensation before work begins on which the claim is based. If such
notification is not given and the City is not afforded by the Contractor a method acceptable to the City for
keeping strict account of actual cost, then the Contractor hereby waives its request for such extra compensation.
The City is not obligated to pay the Contractor if the City is not notified as described above. The Contractor
may refuse to perform additional work requested by the City until an appropriate agreement is executed by the
parties. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the City has kept account of the costs as aforesaid shall
not in any way be construed as proving the validity of the claim.
10.8 CANCELED ITEMS OF WORK
The City shall have the right to cancel those portions of the contract relating to the construction of any item
provided therein. Such cancellation, when ordered by the City in writing, shall entitle the Contractor to the
payment of a fair and equitable amount covering all costs incurred by Contractor pertaining to the canceled
items before the date of cancellation or suspension of the Work. The Contractor shall be allowed a profit
percentage on the materials used and on construction work actually done, at the same rates as provided for
"Changes in the Work", but no allowance will be made for anticipated profits. Acceptable materials ordered by
the Contractor or delivered on the site before the date of such cancellation or suspension shall be purchased
from the Contractor by the City at actual cost and shall thereupon become the property of the City.

the Work is completed and accepted by the City. If the unpaid balance of the contract amount shall exceed the
cost of completing the Work including all overhead costs, Contractor shall be paid up to the amount of the
excess balance on a quantum meruit basis for the work done prior to termination. If the cost of completing the
A-48
Work shall exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor or its Surety shall pay the difference to the City. The

request for payment. The Contractor's final request for payment shall be the contract amount plus all approved
written additions less all approved written deductions and less previous payments made. As a condition for

Restroom Remodel Specifications
The Golf Course Restrooms will be designed and constructed to meet the latest standards per the
Department of Justice published revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 "ADA" in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These ADA
regulations enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
"2010 Standards" or "Standards". The 2010 Standards set the minimum requirements — both
scoping and technical -- for newly designed and constructed or altered State and local government
facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by
individuals with disabilities.
Adoption of the 2010 ADA Standards also establishes a revised reference point for Title II entities
that choose to make structural changes to existing facilities to meet their program accessibility
requirements; and it establishes a similar reference for Title III entities undertaking readily
achievable barrier removal.
Restroom Doors
Doors will swing outward to allow one to exit without gripping a surface but they must be
configured to avoid hitting passing pedestrian traffic. All internal doors will be constructed so that
after one has washed their hands, exit is possible without touching a surface.
Stall Doors
To prevent unnecessary queuing, anyone entering the restroom should be able to easily determine the
state of occupancy of stalls. This can be done with doors that do not fully close when not in use or
by other devices that signals occupancy. Doors should have sufficient clearance and locks latch
length to function as the stall frame become misaligned.
Entries and Exit to Restrooms
