Agenda 05/23/2017 Item #16D 505/23/2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve an award for Invitation to Bid (ITB) #17 -7075 "Re-manufactured Engines and Transmissions" to World Wide Equipment and Reliable Transmission for use in existing Collier Area Transit buses, and authorize the Chair to sign the attached agreements. OBJECTIVE: To replace engines and transmissions on high mileage Collier Area Transit (CAT) buses to extend their useful life. CONSIDERATIONS: CAT has several high-mileage buses that can be classified as meeting their useful life based on mileage in accordance with Federal guidelines but the age threshold for useful life has not yet been met. To extend the useful life of these vehicles, the replacement of the engines and transmissions is necessary. The installation of re-manufactured engines and transmissions will adequately extend the useful life of the buses. The Board of County Commissioners approved an allocation of Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) §5307 funding for Rehabilitation of three (3) buses on September 10, 2013. The total funding available for this project is $83,376.51. While FTA allows for solicitation of quotes for small purchases up to $100,000 (for grant awards made prior to December 26, 2014) the County Procurement Policy is more restrictive and requires bids for purchases anticipated to be over $50,000. On December 30, 2016, the Procurement Services Division advertised ITB 17-7075 for the "Remanufactured Engines and Transmissions" on the Collier County Online Bidding System Consistent with the grant requirement for open competition. The system sent notices to four hundred and thirty (430) vendors, of which thirty-two (32) vendors downloaded the bid documents, and five (5) vendors submitted by the deadline date of February 3, 2017 as shown on the attached bid tabulation. The award was based on a line item by line item comparison of the lowest price by vendor. Staff recommends award of the bid to World Wide Equipment as the Primary Vendor for line items 1 - 12, and Reliable Transmission as the Secondary Vendor on line items 7-12, as those vendors represent the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidders. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding in the amount of $78,472 for the replacement of three engines and three transmissions is available in the CAT Grants Fund 424 within FTA Section 5307 program projects. Additional funding will be allocated as future engine and transmission replacement needs are identified. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for Board approval. - SRT GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with Objectives 10 and 12 of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan. RECOMMENDATION: To approve an award for Invitation to Bid (ITB) #17-7075 "Re-manufactured Engines and Transmissions" to World Wide Equipment and Reliable Transmission, and authorize the Chair to sign the attached agreements.

Termination for Convenience (General Provision) The COUNTY may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when it is in the COUNTY’s best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination.

Termination shall be effected by serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract. If it is later determined by the COUNTY that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the COUNTY, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience. c. Opportunity to Cure (General Provision) The COUNTY in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions If Contractor fails to remedy to COUNTY's satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (10) days] after receipt by Contractor of written notice from COUNTY setting forth the nature of said breach or default, COUNTY shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude COUNTY from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default. d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that COUNTY elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by COUNTY shall not limit the COUNTY's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract. e. Termination for Convenience (Professional or Transit Service Contracts) The COUNTY, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest. If this contract is terminated, the COUNTY shall be liable only for payment under the payment provisions of this contract for services rendered before the effective date of termination. f. Termination for Default (Supplies and Service) If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this Exhibit _IA_ Federal Transit Administration Provisions CFDA 20.507 Rev 12/16 14 contract, the COUNTY may terminate this contract for default. The COUNTY shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set forth in this contract.

The Contractor and COUNTY shall agree on payment for the preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the Dispute clause. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the COUNTY. h. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will insure its completion within the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the COUNTY may terminate this contract for default. The COUNTY shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the COUNTY may take over the work and compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for any damage to the COUNTY resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated. This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the COUNTY in completing the work. The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor charged with damages under this clause if- 1. The delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God, acts of the COUNTY, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the COUNTY, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and 2. The contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the COUNTY in writing of the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the COUNTY, the delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment of the COUNTY shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but subject to appeal under the Disputes clauses.

If the termination is for the convenience of the COUNTY, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price but shall allow no anticipated profit on unperformed services. Exhibit _IA_ Federal Transit Administration Provisions CFDA 20.507 Rev 12/16 15 If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the COUNTY may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any additional cost incurred by the COUNTY. If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the COUNTY. j. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The COUNTY may terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a notice or termination on the Contractor. The notice shall state whether the termination is for convenience of the COUNTY or for the default of the Contractor. If the termination is for default, the notice shall state the manner in which the contractor has failed to perform the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall account for any property in its possession paid for from funds received from the COUNTY, or property supplied to the Contractor by the COUNTY. If the termination is for default, the COUNTY may fix the fee, if the contract provides for a fee, to be paid the contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the COUNTY and the parties shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid the Contractor. If the termination is for the convenience of the COUNTY, the Contractor shall be paid its contract close-out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for payment of a fee, in proportion to the work performed up to the time of termination.

It is also our policy: 1. To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT – assisted contracts; 2. To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT-assisted contracts; 3. To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law; 4. To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CFR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to participate as DBEs; 5. To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted contracts; 6. To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE Program. This Contract is subject to 49 C.F.R. part 26. Therefore, the Contractor must satisfy the requirements for DBE participation as set forth herein. These requirements are in addition to all other equal opportunity employment requirements of this Contract. Contract Assurance The Contractor, subrecipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender identity or sex in the performance of this Contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Contract, which may result in the termination of this Contract or such other remedy as the COUNTY deems appropriate. DBE Participation For the purpose of this Contract, the COUNTY will accept only DBE’s who are: 1. Certified by the Florida Unified Certification Program; or 2. An out-of-state firm who has been certified by either a local government, state government or Federal government entity authorized to certify DBE status or an agency whose DBE certification process has received FTA approval; or 3. Certified by another agency approved by the COUNTY. DBE Participation Goal Collier Area Transit’s goal for DBE participation is 1.6%. A separate contract goal has not been established for this procurement. Proposed Submission Each Bidder/Offeror, as part of its submission, shall complete an Anticipated DBE Statement that indicates the percentage and dollar value of the total bid/contract amount to be supplied by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises with whom the Exhibit _IA_ Federal Transit Administration Provisions CFDA 20.507 Rev 12/16 19 Bidder/Offeror intends to contract with for the performance of portions of the work under the Contract. Each Bidder/Offer shall also submit a Bid Opportunity List Prompt Payment The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 30 days from the receipt of each payment the prime contract receives from the BCC. Retainage If retainage from DBE subcontractors is allowed per the contract, the prime contractor agrees further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within 30 days after the subcontractors work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the COUNTY.
