REQUEST FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (RPS) PROCESS
1.1 The selection process will involve a two-step proposal review to minimize Proposers’ costs in preparing initial qualification
proposals and expediting the review process. The Proposers will initially submit a qualifications proposal which will be
scored based on the scoring criteria in the Scoring Criteria for Development of Shortlist, which will be the basis for short-
listing no less than three (3) firms.
The Proposers will need to meet the minimum requirements outlined herein in order for their proposal to be evaluated and
scored by the COUNTY. The COUNTY will then issue an invitation for oral presentations (Step 2) to at least the top three
short-listed firms and produce a final ranking for approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Upon approval, the
County will enter into negotiations with the top ranked firms to establish cost for the services needed. With successful
negotiations, a contract will be developed with the selected firm, based on the negotiated price and technical components.
The COUNTY plans to include an allowance in the contract for items such as changes in scope and permit acquisition.
1.2 The COUNTY will use a Selection Committee in the Request for Professional Services selection process.
1.3 The intent of the Step 1 scoring of the qualifications proposal is for consultants to indicate their interest, relevant experience,
financial capability, staffing and organizational structure.
1.4 Based upon a review of these qualification proposals, the short-listed firms will be requested to submit Step 2, to make oral
presentations.
1.5 The scores from the RPS - Step 1 used for short-listing for this Project will not be carried forward for the Step 2 of this
selection process.
1.6 The intent of the Step 2 oral presentations is to provide the firms with a venue where they can conduct discussions with the
Selection Committee to clarify questions and concerns before providing a final rank.
1.7 After review of the Step 2 oral presentations, the COUNTY will rank the Proposers based on the discussion and clarifying
questions on their approach and related criteria, and then negotiate in good faith an Agreement with the top ranked Proposer.
1.8 If, in the sole judgment of the COUNTY, a contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the top-ranked firm, negotiations
with that firm will be formally terminated and negotiations shall begin with the firm ranked second. If a contract cannot be
successfully negotiated with the firm ranked second, negotiations with that firm will be formally terminated and negotiations
shall begin with the third ranked firm, and so on. The COUNTY reserves the right to negotiate any element of the proposals
in the best interest of the COUNTY.
SCORING CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHORTLIST:
1.9 For the development of a shortlist, this evaluation criteria will be utilized by the COUNTY’S Selection Committee to score
each proposal. Consultants are encouraged to keep their proposals concise and to include a minimum of marketing
materials. Proposals must address the following criteria:
Evaluation Criteria Maximum Points
1. Ability of Professional Personnel 25 Points
2. Past Performance 25 Points
3. Project Approach, Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements 30Points
4.
5. Current Workload of the Firm 20 Points
TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS 100 Points
Tie Breaker: In the event of a tie at final ranking, award shall be made to the proposer with the lower volume of work
previously awarded. Volume of work shall be calculated based upon total dollars paid to the proposer in the twenty-four
(24) months prior to the RFP submittal deadline. Payment information will be retrieved from the County’s financial system
of record. The tie breaking procedure is only applied in the final ranking step of the selection process and is invoked by the
Procurement Services Division Director or designee. In the event a tie still exists, selection will be determined based on
random selection by the Procurement Services Director before at least three (3) witnesses.

Form 3: Conflict of Interest Affidavit
The Vendor certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the past and current work on any Collier County project affiliated
with this solicitation does not pose an organizational conflict as described by one of the three categories below:
Biased ground rules – The firm has not set the “ground rules” for affiliated past or current Collier County project identified
above (e.g., writing a procurement’s statement of work, specifications, or performing systems engineering and technical
direction for the procurement) which appears to skew the competition in favor of my firm.
Impaired objectivity – The firm has not performed work on an affiliated past or current Collier County project identified
above to evaluate proposals / past performance of itself or a competitor, which calls into question the contractor’s ability to
render impartial advice to the government.
Unequal access to information – The firm has not had access to nonpublic information as part of its performance of a
Collier County project identified above which may have provided the contractor (or an affiliate) with an unfair competitive
advantage in current or future solicitations and contracts.
In addition to this signed affidavit, the contractor / vendor must provide the following:
1. All documents produced as a result of the work completed in the past or currently being worked on for the above-mentioned
project; and,

Failure to disclose all material or having an organizational conflict in one or more of the three categories above be identified, may
result in the disqualification for future solicitations affiliated with the above referenced project(s).
By the signature below, the firm (employees, officers and/or agents) certifies, and hereby discloses, that, to the best of their knowledge
and belief, all relevant facts concerning past, present, or currently planned interest or activity (financial, contractual, organizational,

DBE Utilization
The Department began its DBE race neutral program January 1, 2000. Contract specific goals are not
placed on Federal/State contracts; however, the Department has an overall 10.65% DBE goal it must
achieve. In order to assist contractors in determining their DBE commitment level, the Department has
reviewed the estimates for this letting.
As you prepare your bid, please monitor potential or anticipated DBE utilization for contracts. When the
low bidder executes the contract with the Department, information will be requested of the contractor’s
DBE participation for the project. While the utilization is not mandatory in order to be awarded the project,
continuing utilization of DBE firms on contracts supports the success of Florida’s DBE Program, and
supports contractors’ Equal Employment Opportunity and DBE Affirmative Action Programs.
Any project listed as 0% DBE availability does not mean that a DBE may not be used on that project. A
0% DBE availability may have been established due to any of the following reasons: limited identified
subcontracting opportunities, minimal contract days, and/or small contract dollar amount. Contractors are
encouraged to identify any opportunities to subcontract to DBE’s.
Please contact the Equal Opportunity Office at (850) 414-4747 if you have any questions regarding this
information. Forms may be downloaded at: www.dot.state.fl.us/proceduraldocuments/ .
DBE Reporting
If you are the prime contractor on a project, enter your DBE participation in the Equal Opportunity
Compliance system prior to the pre-construction or pre-work conference for all federal and state funded
projects. This will not become a mandatory part of the contract. It will assist the Department in tracking
and reporting planned or estimated DBE utilization. During the contract, the prime contractor is required
to report actual payments to DBE and MBE subcontractors through the web-based Equal Opportunity
Compliance (EOC) system.
All DBE payments must be reported whether or not you initially planned to utilize the company. In order
for our race neutral DBE Program to be successful, your cooperation is imperative. If you have any
questions, please contact EOOHelp@dot.state.fl.us.
Bid Opportunity List
The Federal DBE Program requires States to maintain a database of all firms that are participating or
attempting to participate on FDOT-assisted contracts. The list must include all firms that bid on prime
contracts or bid or quote subcontracts on FDOT-assisted projects, including both DBE’s and non-DBEs.
Please complete the Bidders Opportunity List through the Equal Opportunity Compliance system within 3
business days of submission of the bid or proposal for ALL subcontractors or sub-consultants who quoted
to you for specific project for this letting. The web address to the Equal Opportunity Compliance system
is:

Form 275-030-11B) on file with the FDOT Equal Opportunity Office before execution of a contract.

(3) three year period and should be updated at anytime there is a change in the company’s DBE Liaison
Officer and/or President. Contractors may evidence adoption of the DBE/AA Policy and Plan and/or a
change in the designated DBE Liaison officer as follows:

Instructions for Certification
Instructions for Certification - Lower Tier Participants:
(Applicable to all subcontracts, purchase orders and other lower tier transactions requiring prior FHWA approval or estimated to
cost $25,000 or more - 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200)
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier is providing the certification set out below.
b. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was
entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in
addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department, or agency with which this transaction originated
may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
c. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted if
at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
d. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "participant," "person," "principal," and "voluntarily
excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200. You may contact the person to which this proposal
is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered
transaction between a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds and a participant (such as the prime or general contract). “Lower
Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts).
“First Tier Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a grantee or subgrantee of
Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a
covered transaction with a First Tier Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
e. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be
entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended,
declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or
agency with which this transaction originated.
f. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include this clause titled
"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without
modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the
$25,000 threshold.
g. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered
transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that
the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or
otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any
lower tier prospective participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the Excluded Parties List System website
(https://www.epls.gov/), which is compiled by the General Services Administration.
h. 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 clause. The knowledge and information of participant is not required to exceed that
which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
i. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph e of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly
enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from
participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency
with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.

OGC – 03/17
I certify that I have no present conflict of interest on the projects identified below, and that I will recuse myself from any capacity of
decision making, approval, disapproval, or recommendation of any consultant/contractor/vendor for selection on any contract if I have a
conflict of interest or a potential conflict of interest. As set forth in Sections 112.313 and 334.193, Florida Statutes, employees of the
Department may not have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect; engage in any business transaction or professional
activity; or accept any obligation of any kind which is in conflict with the proper conduct of their duties in the public interest.
I recognize that employees are expected to honor the ethical obligations inherent in public service. These obligations go beyond mere
legal obligations and demand from the employee a greater sensitivity to his or her conduct, as well as the public's perception of such
conduct.
Employees are expected to safeguard their ability to make objective, fair, and impartial decisions, and therefore may not accept benefits
of any sort under circumstances in which it could be inferred by a reasonable observer that the benefit was intended to influence a
pending or future decision of theirs, or to reward a past decision. Employees should avoid any conduct (whether in the context of
business, financial, or social relationships) which might undermine the public trust, whether or not that conduct is unethical or lends
itself to the appearance of ethical impropriety.
I will maintain the confidentiality of all information not made public by the Florida Department of Transportation (“Department”) related to
the procurement of the above-referenced (“Project”) that I gain access to as a result of my involvement with the Project (“Procurement
Information”). I understand that Procurement Information includes, but is not limited to, documents prepared by or for the Department
related to procurement of the Project. I also understand that Procurement Information includes, but is not limited to, documents
submitted to the Department by entities seeking an award of the Project (“Proposers”). I understand that Procurement Information may
include documents submitted by Proposers related to letters of response/letters of interest, technical proposals, price proposals,
financial proposals, and information shared during exempt meetings. I also understand that Procurement Information may also include
documents that evaluate or review documents submitted by Proposers, and information regarding Project cost estimates. I also agree
not to discuss the Project with anyone who is a member of or acting on behalf of a Proposer.
Unless so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or an opinion of the Office of the Florida Attorney General, I will not divulge any
Procurement Information except to individuals who have executed a Conflict of Interest/Confidentiality Certification which has been
approved by the Department (“Project Personnel”). I understand that a list of Project Personnel will be maintained by Department. If I
am contacted by any member of the public or the media with a request for Procurement Information, I will promptly forward such
request to the Department's Procurement Office. I will also maintain security and control over all documents containing Procurement
Information which are in my custody.
I agree not to solicit or accept gratuities, unwarranted privileges or exemptions, favors, or anything of value from any firm under
consideration for an agreement associated with the Project, and I recognize that doing so may be contrary to statutes, ordinances, and
rules governing or applicable to the Department or may otherwise be a violation of the law.
I agree not to engage in bid tampering, pursuant to Section 838.22, Florida Statutes.
I realize that violation of the above mentioned statutes would be punishable in accordance with Section 112.317, Section 334.193, or
Section 838.22, Florida Statutes, and could result in disciplinary action by the Department.

PROCUREMENT
OGC – 03/17
I certify that I have no present conflict of interest on the projects identified below, and that I will recuse myself from any capacity of
decision making, approval, disapproval, or recommendation of any consultant/contractor/vendor for selection on any contract if I have a
conflict of interest or a potential conflict of interest. As set forth in Sections 112.313 and 334.193, Florida Statutes, public officers or
employees of an agency may not have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect; engage in any business transaction or
professional activity; or accept any obligation of any kind which is in conflict with the proper conduct of their duties in the public interest.
I recognize that State of Florida public officers or employees of an agency are expected to honor the ethical obligations inherent in
public service. These obligations go beyond mere legal obligations and demand from the public officer or agency employee a greater
sensitivity to his or her conduct, as well as the public's perception of such conduct.
State of Florida public officers or employees of an agency are expected to safeguard their ability to make objective, fair, and impartial
decisions, and therefore may not accept benefits of any sort under circumstances in which it could be inferred by a reasonable observer
that the benefit was intended to influence a pending or future decision of theirs, or to reward a past decision. Public officers or
employees of an agency should avoid any conduct (whether in the context of business, financial, or social relationships) which might
undermine the public trust, whether or not that conduct is unethical or lends itself to the appearance of ethical impropriety.
I will maintain the confidentiality of all information not made public by the Florida Department of Transportation (“Department”) related to
the procurement of the above-referenced (“Project”) that I gain access to as a result of my involvement with the Project (“Procurement
Information”). I understand that Procurement Information includes, but is not limited to, documents prepared by or for the Department
related to procurement of the Project. I also understand that Procurement Information includes, but is not limited to, documents
submitted to the Department by entities seeking an award of the Project (“Proposers”). I understand that Procurement Information may
include documents submitted by Proposers related to letters of response/letters of interest, technical proposals, price proposals,
financial proposals, and information shared during exempt meetings. I also understand that Procurement Information may also include
documents that evaluate or review documents submitted by Proposers, and information regarding Project cost estimates. I also agree
not to discuss the Project with anyone who is a member of or acting on behalf of a Proposer.
Unless so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or an opinion of the Office of the Florida Attorney General, I will not divulge any
Procurement Information except to individuals who have executed a Conflict of Interest/Confidentiality Certification which has been
approved by the Department (“Project Personnel”). I understand that a list of Project Personnel will be maintained by Department. If I
am contacted by any member of the public or the media with a request for Procurement Information, I will promptly forward such
request to the Department's Procurement Office. I will also maintain security and control over all documents containing Procurement
Information which are in my custody.
I agree not to solicit or accept gratuities, unwarranted privileges or exemptions, favors, or anything of value from any firm under
consideration for an agreement associated with the Project, and I recognize that doing so may be contrary to statutes, ordinances, and
rules governing or applicable to the Department or may otherwise be a violation of the law.
I agree not to engage in bid tampering, pursuant to Section 838.22, Florida Statutes.
I realize that violation of the above mentioned statutes would be punishable in accordance with Section 112.317, Section 334.193, or
Section 838.22, Florida Statutes, and could result in disciplinary action.

after commencement of such delay, stating the specifi c cause or causes thereof, or be deemed
to have waived any right which CONSULTANT may have had to request a time extension for that
specific delay.
4.3. No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the commencement or
progress of CONSULTANT's services from any cause whatsoever, including those for which the
COUNTY may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONSULTANT of its duty to perform
or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from the COUNTY.
CONSULTANT's sole remedy against the COUNTY will be the right to seek an extension of time
RPS 19-7599, Page 70 of 96
Page 7 of 32
PSA Single Project Agreement 2017.010 Ver.1
to its schedule provided, however, the granting of any such time extension shall not be a condition
precedent to the aforementioned “No Damage For Delay” provision . This paragraph shall
expressly apply to claims for early completion, as well as claims based on late completion.
Provided, however, if through no fault or neglect of CONSULTANT, the services to be provided
hereunder have been delayed for a total of 180 cal endar days, CONSULTANT’s compensation
shall be equitably adjusted, with respect to those services that have not yet been performed, to
reflect the incremental increase in costs experienced by CONSULTANT, if any, as a result of such
delays.
4.4. Should the CONSULTANT fail to commence, provide, perform or complete any of the
services to be provided hereunder in a timely manner, in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to the COUNTY hereunder, the COUNTY at its sole discretion and option may withhold
any and all payments due and owing to the CONSULTANT until such time as the CONSULTANT
resumes performance of its obligations hereunder in such a manner so as to reasonably establish
to the COUNTY's satisfaction that the CONSULTANT's performance is or will shortly be back on
schedule.
4.5. In no event shall any approval by the COUNTY authorizing CONSULTANT to continue
performing Work under this Agreement or any payment issued by the COUNTY to CONSULTANT
be deemed a waiver of any right or claim the COUNTY may have against CONSULTANT for delay
or any other damages hereunder.
ARTICLE FIVE
COMPENSATION
5.1. Compensation and the manner of payment of such compensation by the COUNTY for
services rendered hereunder by CONSULTANT shall be as prescribed in Schedule B, entitled
"Basis of Compensation", which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Project Manager,
or designee, reserves the right to utilize any of the following Price Methodologies:
Lump Sum (Fixed Price): A firm fixed total price offering for a project; the risks are
transferred from the COUNTY to the CONSULTANT; and, as a business practice there are no
hourly or material invoices presented, rather, the CONSULTANT must perform to the satisfaction
of the COUNTY’s Project Manager before payment for the fixed price contract is authorized.
Time and Materials: The COUNTY agrees to pay the contractor for the amount of labor
time spent by the CONSULTANT 's employees and subcontractors to perform the work (number
of hours times hourly rate), and for materials and equipment used in the project (cost of materials
plus the contractor's mark-up). This methodology is generally used in projects in which it is not
possible to accurately estimate the size of the project, o r when it is expected that the project
requirements would most likely change. As a general business practice, these contracts include
back-up documentation of costs; invoices would include number of hours worked and billing rate
by position (and not company (or subcontractor) timekeeping or payroll records), material or
equipment invoices, and other reimbursable documentation for the project.
5.2. The hourly rates as set forth and identified in Schedule B, which is attached hereto, shall
apply only to tasks procured under the Time and Materials pricing methodology specified in
paragraph 5.1 above. Grant Funded: The hourly rates as set forth and identified in Schedule
RPS 19-7599, Page 71 of 96

B, which is attached hereto, are for purposes of providing estimate(s), as required by the grantor

CONSULTANT shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with delivering to the COUNTY
the Project Documents. CONSULTANT, at its own expense, may retain copies of the Project
Documents for its files and internal use.

COUNTY to pay any additional compensation, CONSULTANT hereby grants to the COUNTY a

license to the COUNTY. Further, CONSULTANT consents to the COUNTY’s use of the Project
Documents to complete the Project following CONSULTANT’s termination for any reason or to

any other rights or remedies which otherwise may be available to an inde mnified party or person

to indemnify, and the duty to defend exists regardless of any ultimate liability of the
CONSULTANT, the COUNTY and any indemnified party. The duty to defend arises immediately

CONSULTANT. The CONSULTANT’s obligation to indemnify and defend under this Article 8 will

obligation owed by the COUNTY to CONSULTANT under this Agreement, and (ii) the COUNTY

Project Approach, Time and Budget
Plan of Approach
First and foremost, it is our belief that good communication is key to the success of any project. This is especially true when designing a
federally funded project through FDOT’s Local Agency Program (LAP) and making sure the requirements that are placed upon the Local
Agency are satisfied. We pride ourselves on quick and immediate responses to your needs or concerns. Not only will you be able to
contact us at any time, but we will not hesitate to contact you as soon as any information pertaining to the project needs to be relayed.
While working with you, your interests and project budget are our main
priority. To get the project started on the right foot, it is imperative to
have a comprehensive scoping meeting. At this meeting, all project
issues, requirements, schedule constraints and budget limitations are
brought to the table. From this discussion, a comprehensive scope of
services is developed that ensures everyone’s duties are clearly
defined and all expectations are consistent. We also understand that
time needs to be built into the schedule to allow multiple agency
reviews of the design documents at various stages of completion. We
have developed a plan for this project that will allow us to conduct the
project in accordance with the requirements specified in the Scope of
Services. It is understood that 60%, 100%, and final submittal
requirements will be similar to other Collier County projects completed
in the past, but these projects will require additional coordination with
the FDOT during the LAP review process.
On federally funded projects, it is imperative that protocol is followed
and all Federal, State, and County paperwork is in proper order. For each of these work orders, we will strive to function as an extension
of County staff. In doing so, we will facilitate the overall process and help ensure the conditions of the LAP agreements are met. Our
initial focus on each project will be to meet with both the County and FDOT staff to reiterate the timetable of project design submittals.
Once a work order is accepted and the Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued, Josh Hildebrand will immediately request a project kick-off
meeting between Collier County, FDOT and other relevant team members to make certain the project objective and schedule is clearly
defined.
Comprehensive LAP Project Design
A comprehensive LAP design approach is one that takes into account the existing physical topographic conditions, constraints, utility
infrastructure, user’s expectations, construction budget of the project, and the design criteria specified in the LAP Agreement to arrive at
an appropriate set of design parameters. Using a typical 5’ sidewalk LAP design project as the example, our assigned design team would
focus on providing a facility that is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible and walkable for the local residents while also taking
into consideration any existing constraints, such as driveways and drainage features within the existing right-of -way. We will strive to
deliver a project that is functional, cost-effective and is designed to minimize impacts to the community as a whole.
To accomplish this, we will first begin with a survey of existing conditions. Once baseline data is obtained, the design team will evaluate
alternative sidewalk typical sections and existing driveway profiles on each of the roadway segments. Options for sidewalk alignments
should be explored to arrive at an optimal condition that allows for drainage, utilities and other furnishings to be successfully incorporated
into the design. One of the first things we analyze with any sidewalk project is the typical section. Where can you locate the 5’ sidewalk
to provide maximum benefit with minimum conflict? The ideal design location is not always the most practical and with Federal Funds
you are required to work within existing public right-of-way. The most common design issues with sidewalks are typically the associated
drainage impacts and existing utility conflicts. Sidewalks often cross existing roadside ditches, conflict with existing culverts or their side
slopes encroach upon existing conveyances. As such, when developing the design alternatives, one of our project goals will be to
maintain equivalent positive drainage to provide a path for the water to get where it is intended to go. Frequently, driveways within the
project limits will require partial reconstruction to accommodate the addition of the sidewalk. The reconstruction of certain driveways with
more aggressive slope is often necessary to ensure that the sidewalk meets ADA standards and provides a safely traversable cross
slope of less than 2%.
We are also familiar with the environmental and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) permitting processes and have in-
house staff capable of handling all aspects of permitting expected for these projects. Sidewalks and turn lanes are typically exempt from
Environmental Resource Permitting unless there are significant associated drainage impacts. We have an excellent track record
permitting sidewalks through the local permitting agencies.
In conjunction with each phased design submittal, we recommend a face to face project team submittal meeting with County staff. In this
meeting, we will present the plans along with an explanation of where we are and how we arrived there. We will present our design
criteria and base assumptions and identify any potential conflicts or issues. Most importantly, we will identify the issues and ask the
questions that must be addressed for us to proceed with the design. Often times, we can address the issues right then and there and
leave the meeting with the information needed to keep moving forward. This does not preclude the official review process, but allows it
to run concurrently without slowing down plan production. This also significantly reduces staff’s necessary review time. We have used
this process successfully in the past, saving time and promoting shared understanding.
Following the County’s initial 60% review, the plans and permit applications will be updated and submitted to appropriate agencies
including FDOT and SFWMD. Once all 60% and 100% County, FDOT and SFWMD comments have been adequately addressed and
permits have been issued, we will prepare the final bid package. In addition to the preparation of the final plans, this task also includes
the development of the “Big 4” LAP specification package, bid sheets, final engineer’s opinion of probable cost, and any other necessary
bid documents. The specification package will be prepared in accordance with standard FDOT procedures.
Bid Assistance and Post Design
As the design entity, we will provide bid assistance to the County as deemed necessary
during the contractor procurement. This may include answering the bidders’ questions and
assisting in preparation of addenda. Once the bid opening has occurred, the project team
will evaluate the bids for completeness and provide the Collier County with a letter of
recommendation to award.
At the preconstruction meeting, the task order Project Engineer and Project Manager will
assist the County’s Project Manager in conducting a detailed preconstruction meeting
covering the LAP/EEO responsibilities of the prime and subcontractors involved in
accordance with 23 CFR 230 and any other special provisions or conditions in the contract
documents.
A designer’s job is not finished when the project is under construction. It is imperative that
the engineer be there to see the project through to its completion. We will be available to
answer RFI’s, provide clarifications/interpretations of the plans, review shop drawings,
attend construction progress meetings and provide periodic site visits. Our proposed
project design team has performed numerous roadway design projects within Collier
County. We are excited about this project and the opportunity to work with the County
again. We are confident this plan and our approach will result in a successful project. It has
been tried several times before and has proven successful every time.
Abilities, Skill & Experience
To best serve Collier County on this project, our team offers a separate transportation design division that is devoted to facilitating
improvements such as these. The team proposed has a tremendous amount of expertise and experience specifically in intersection and
sidewalk design and permitting. We will apply the ability and skill, gained through these years of experience, to the direct benefit of Collier
County, its residents and roadway users. In addition to transportation experience, our firm also provides a wide range of ancillary services
that often prove useful on projects such as this including: survey, SUE, drainage, environmental, landscaping and utilities.
This experience gives us a unique advantage as we have comprehensive understanding of the entire transportation development process
from planning to design, to permitting through construction. We are very familiar, not only with the design of such facilities, but the
requirements that come with the Federal Funding and other grant opportunities. We understand that many intersection and pedestrian
enhancement projects often have the potential to receive special funding even after the design phase has been completed. We strive to
design each project with this in mind, so if special funding does become available at any stage during a project, the transition to meet the
funding provisions is seamless.
Capital Consulting, Johnson Engineering and CH2M have performed numerous FDOT LAP funded design projects for pedestrian facilities
and our other subconsultant, Tierra have assisted in their respective tasks. This team is fully pre-qualified by FDOT for the work groups
specified in the RFQ, however, we have been part of enough LAP funded projects to know that qualifications alone will not successfully
complete these tasks. The key to successful LAP project delivery is
simple: Follow the rules! We are very familiar with these rules. The
LAP process is specifically designed to allow the state to distribute
Federal dollars to local municipalities while still meeting the
requirements of FHWA. Accordingly, the FDOT requires strict
adherence to applicable guidelines and the “Big 4” specifications.
The team is also very experienced in the design of sidewalk and
roadway improvements such as those proposed under these projects
in accordance with FDOT standards and requirements. With
considerable design and construction experience, we propose and
can offer a constructability review by our team prior to plan submission
to help to minimize expensive and time consuming delays during
construction. This review will be performed by our Quality Control
Team.
Our teams are very experienced in the design and plan production in accordance with standard FDOT procedures. Johnson Engineering
has a dedicated transportation group that focuses solely on transportation projects. All of our internal design, plan production, quality
control and project management processes are based off FDOT standard practices. Our familiarity with FDOT’s guidelines and
specifications will provide a seamless path to a successful project. With LAP projects, much of the specific design requirements depend
on whether your project is an on-system or off-system facility. We understand the difference between the PPM and the Florida Greenbook
and we know when each should be applied.
In addition to knowing the design and plan production requirements, we are also familiar with the administration requirements associated
with FDOT projects. One of those is the Electronic Review Comment (ERC) system FDOT uses to manage the plans review process.
We have used this process on several occasions and found it to be pretty useful, not just on the Department’s side, but also on the
consultant’s side. There are a few minor quirks you learn to get around, but for the most part it is straight forward. Those in our company
that have used the system can easily teach those who have not, but the Department also has a very good ERC User Manual that we
have found answers most of the questions. Suffice it to say, we are no stranger to the ERC system and are comfortable in using it.
443375-1 & 443375-2 Lake Trafford Sidewalk and Bike Lanes
Lake Trafford Road from Tippins Terrace to North 15th Street (Sidewalks) Current pedestrian facilities are discontinuous on both the
north and south side of the corridor. With beaten paths in the adjacent cleared and maintained right-of-way, high volumes of pedestrian
traffic is evident along the corridor. It is recommended that a sidewalk be placed along the “desire line” created by the pedestrians from
Carson Road to Laurel Street. The project is believed to be constructible within the limits of the existing right-of -way; however increased
cost is expected due to extensive drainage modifications. The project is anticipated to require a General ERP permit or ERP modification
due to the presence of existing control structures. Minimal environmental impacts are anticipated. Lake Trafford Road from Tippins
Terrace to North 15th Street (Bike Lanes) Existing bicycle facilities along Lake Trafford Road consist of a shared use path from Tippins
Terrace to Little League Road. To increase continuity, bike lanes are recommended from Little League Road to Laurel Street. The project
is believed to be constructible within the limits of the existing right-of-way from Little League Road to Laurel Street.
441480-1 Eden Park Elementary Sidewalk
Preliminary Access Sidewalk for Elementary students leaving Eden Park Elementary School. There currently are no pedestrian facilities
along the corridor. There is a high volume of students that use corridor to traverse to school in the morning and afternoon. Team member
Jacobs met with project stake holders during the development of the Safe Routes to School Grant and has unparallel knowledge of
project.
441846-1 111th Avenue North Bike Lanes
111th Avenue North from Bluebill Bridge to U.S. 41 The addition of designated bicycle lanes to the 111th Avenue North corridor, where
feasible, would alleviate existing bicycle traffic from the adjacent sidewalks and roadway, reducing roadway congestion and increasing
the safety of both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Currently no roadway improvements are planned. The project is believed to be
constructible within the limits of the existing right-of -way from the Bluebill Bridge to 7th Street North, and no planned improvements exist.
The project is expected to qualify for a SFWMD exemption per F.A.C. Rule 62.330-051(10) for roadway safety improvements and minimal
environmental impacts are anticipated.

THE E-VERIFY
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
FOR EMPLOYERS
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY
E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States
after completion of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9). This Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) explains certain features of the E-Verify program and describes specific
responsibilities of the Employer, the Social Security Administration (SSA), and DHS.
Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended (8 U.S.C.
§ 1324a note). The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 22.18, “Employment Eligibility
Verification” and Executive Order 12989, as amended, provide authority for Federal contractors and
subcontractors (Federal contractor) to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain
employees working on Federal contracts.
ARTICLE II
RESPONSIBILITIES
A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER
1.The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS in a prominent place that is
clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees who are to be verified through the system:
a.Notice of E-Verify Participation
b.Notice of Right to Work
2.The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of the Employer representatives to be contacted about E-Verify. The Employer also agrees to
keep such information current by providing updated information to SSA and DHS whenever the
representatives’ contact information changes.
3.The Employer agrees to grant E-Verify access only to current employees who need E-Verify access.
Employers must promptly terminate an employee’s E-Verify access if the employer is separated from
the company or no longer needs access to E-Verify.
1292321
The parties to this agreement are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the
Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC (Employer). The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms
and conditions which the Employer will follow while participating in E-Verify.
Page 2 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
4. The Employer agrees to become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of the
E-Verify User Manual.
5. The Employer agrees that any Employer Representative who will create E-Verify cases will
complete the E-Verify Tutorial before that individual creates any cases.
a. The Employer agrees that all Employer representatives will take the refresher tutorials when
prompted by E-Verify in order to continue using E-Verify. Failure to complete a refresher tutorial
will prevent the Employer Representative from continued use of E-Verify.
6. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form I-9 procedures, with two exceptions:
a. If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List
B" documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can
be presented during the Form I-9 process to establish identity.) If an employee objects to the photo
requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at
888-464-4218.
b. If an employee presents a DHS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form I-766
(Employment Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form I-9,
the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the
employee’s Form I-9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS
with its review of photo mismatches that employees contest. DHS may in the future designate
other documents that activate the photo screening tool.
Note: Subject only to the exceptions noted previously in this paragraph, employees still retain the right
to present any List A, or List B and List C, document(s) to complete the Form I-9.
7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form I-9 or to print
the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form I-9.
8. The Employer agrees that, although it participates in E-Verify, the Employer has a responsibility to
complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other
requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the
antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form I-9 procedures.
a. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer’s obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the anti-discrimination provision of the INA: (1) List B
identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 6 above; (2) When an Employer
confirms the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employee using E-Verify procedures,
the Employer establishes a rebuttable presumption that it has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of that employee; (3) If the
Employer receives a final nonconfirmation for an employee, but continues to employ that person,
the Employer must notify DHS and the Employer is subject to a civil money penalty between $550
and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final
nonconfirmation; (4) If the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final
nonconfirmation, then the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly
1292321
Page 3 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5) no E-Verify participant
is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information
provided through the E-Verify.
b. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form I-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other
enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits, to ensure proper use of
E-Verify.
9. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been
hired, meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form I-9 was
completed. The Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer
business days after each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form I-9 have been
completed), and to complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the
E-Verify User Manual. If E-Verify is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended
until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make
inquiries during the period of unavailability.
10. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in
support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User
Manual does not authorize.
11. The Employer must use E-Verify for all new employees. The Employer will not verify selectively
and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. Employers who are Federal
contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as described in Article II.B of this MOU.
12. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III below) regarding tentative
nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide
them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The
Employer agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with
limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions
to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The
Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees
if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. Further, when employees contest
a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer must take additional steps
(see Article III.B. below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge.
13. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the
employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification
request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(l)) that the employee
is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated
verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance
(indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo
mismatch, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as, evidence that the employee is not work
authorized. In any of such cases, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest
the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse
employment consequences based upon the employee’s perceived employment eligibility status
1292321

Company ID Number:
(including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an
employee to work in poorer conditions, withholding pay, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal
contract or other assignment, or otherwise assuming that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and
unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has
been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo
mismatch or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the
Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee’s employment.
Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-
4218 (customer service) or 1-888-897-7781 (worker hotline).
14. The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274B of
the INA as applicable by not discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing,
employment eligibility verification, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national
origin or citizenship status, or by committing discriminatory documentary practices. The Employer
understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as
provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound
“foreign” or have received tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer further understands that any
violation of the immigration-related unfair employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA
could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of
Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages.
Violations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its
participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti-discrimination provision,
it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515 (TDD).
15. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from E-Verify only to confirm the
employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU. The Employer agrees that it will
safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS and passwords), to ensure that it
is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its confidentiality, including ensuring that
it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the Employer who are authorized to
perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for such dissemination as may be
authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes.
16. The Employer agrees to notify DHS immediately in the event of a breach of personal information.
Breaches are defined as loss of control or unauthorized access to E-Verify personal data. All
suspected or confirmed breaches should be reported by calling 1-888-464-4218 or via email at
E-Verify@dhs.gov. Please use “Privacy Incident – Password” in the subject line of your email when
sending a breach report to E-Verify.
17. The Employer acknowledges that the information it receives from SSA is governed by the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)). Any person who
obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in
this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties.
18. The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and
evaluation of E-Verify, which includes permitting DHS, SSA, their contractors and other agents, upon
1292321
Page 5 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its
employees regarding the Employer’s use of E-Verify, and to respond in a prompt and accurate manner
to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E-Verify.
19. The Employer shall not make any false or unauthorized claims or references about its participation
in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials, or other media. The Employer shall not describe its
services as federally-approved, federally-certified, or federally-recognized, or use language with a
similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the public. Entering into this MOU does not
mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your E-Verify services and any claim to that effect is false.
20. The Employer shall not state in its website or other public documents that any language used
therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without first
obtaining the prior written consent of DHS.
21. The Employer agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only under license by
DHS/USCIS (see M-795 (Web)) and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not
be used in any manner that might imply that the Employer’s services, products, websites, or
publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-Verify.
22. The Employer understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as
authorized by this MOU, the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its
participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment
verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most
current version of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify
Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors.
2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU, the Employer understands
that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the
FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any “employee assigned to the contract” (as defined in
FAR 22.1801). Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer
may not create a second case for the employee through E-Verify.
a. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract
award must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of
contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires
using E-Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States,
whether or not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires,
such verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once
enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor, the Employer must begin verification of employees
assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
1292321
Page 6 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a
contract award must use E-Verify to begin verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the
Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within
three business days after the date of hire. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal
contractor for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90
days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who
are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new
hires must be initiated within three business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a
Federal contractor in E-Verify must begin verification of each employee assigned to the contract
within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the
contract, whichever is later.
c. Federal contractors that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)),
state or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties
performing under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency under a performance
bond may choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such
Federal contractors may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired
after November 6, 1986. Employers in this category must begin verification of employees assigned
to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
d. Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors may elect to verify employment
eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6,
1986, instead of verifying only those employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After
enrollment, Employers must elect to verify existing staff following DHS procedures and begin
E-Verify verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election.
e. The Employer may use a previously completed Form I-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify
case for an employee assigned to a contract as long as:
i. That Form I-9 is complete (including the SSN) and complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s work authorization has not expired, and
iii. The Employer has reviewed the Form I-9 information either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee’s Section 1, Form I-9
attestation has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien
having become a naturalized U.S. citizen).
f. The Employer shall complete a new Form I-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the
previous Form I-9 to provide the necessary information if:
i. The Employer cannot determine that Form I-9 complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s basis for work authorization as attested in Section 1 has expired or
changed, or
iii. The Form I-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of Form I-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise complies with
1292321
Page 7 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-551) that expired after
completing Form I-9, the Employer shall not require the production of additional documentation, or use
the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject to any additional or superseding instructions
that may be provided on this subject in the E-Verify User Manual.
g. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned
employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to
authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor
based on this Article.
3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a
performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer
consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under
this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer’s compliance with
Federal contracting requirements.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer against SSA’s database. SSA
sends DHS confirmation that the data sent either matches or does not match the information in SSA’s
database.
2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides through E-Verify procedures. SSA
also agrees to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law, to individuals responsible for
the verification of Social Security numbers or responsible for evaluation of E-Verify or such other
persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a),
the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401).
3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of
the initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the Employer.
4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative
nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an
SSA field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA
agrees to update SSA records, if appropriate, within the eight-day period unless SSA determines that
more than eight days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the
employee. If the employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final
nonconfirmation to the employer.
Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should
contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS
1. DHS agrees to provide the Employer with selected data from DHS databases to enable the
Employer to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU:
a. Automated verification checks on alien employees by electronic means, and
1292321
Page 8 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Photo verification checks (when available) on employees.
2. DHS agrees to assist the Employer with operational problems associated with the Employer's
participation in E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide the Employer names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of DHS representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process.
3. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer with access to E-Verify training materials as well as an
E-Verify User Manual that contain instructions on E-Verify policies, procedures, and requirements for
both SSA and DHS, including restrictions on the use of E-Verify.
4. DHS agrees to train Employers on all important changes made to E-Verify through the use of
mandatory refresher tutorials and updates to the E-Verify User Manual. Even without changes to
E-Verify, DHS reserves the right to require employers to take mandatory refresher tutorials.
5. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer a notice, which indicates the Employer's participation in
E-Verify. DHS also agrees to provide to the Employer anti-discrimination notices issued by the Office of
Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), Civil Rights Division,
U.S. Department of Justice.
6. DHS agrees to issue each of the Employer’s E-Verify users a unique user identification number and
password that permits them to log in to E-Verify.
7. DHS agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides, and to limit access to such
information to individuals responsible for the verification process, for evaluation of E-Verify, or to such
other persons or entities as may be authorized by applicable law. Information will be used only to verify
the accuracy of Social Security numbers and employment eligibility, to enforce the INA and Federal
criminal laws, and to administer Federal contracting requirements.
8. DHS agrees to provide a means of automated verification that provides (in conjunction with SSA
verification procedures) confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of employees' employment eligibility
within three Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry.
9. DHS agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating DHS records) for
employees who contest DHS tentative nonconfirmations and photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmations. This provides final confirmation or nonconfirmation of the employees' employment
eligibility within 10 Federal Government work days of the date of referral to DHS, unless DHS
determines that more than 10 days may be necessary. In such cases, DHS will provide additional
verification instructions.
ARTICLE III
REFERRAL OF INDIVIDUALS TO SSA AND DHS
A. REFERRAL TO SSA
1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by SSA, the Employer must print the
notice as directed by E-Verify. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding
and provide them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify
1292321
Page 9 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for
employees with limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written
referral instructions to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter
to the SSA. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action
against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. After a tentative nonconfirmation, the Employer will refer employees to SSA field offices only as
directed by E-Verify. The Employer must record the case verification number, review the employee
information submitted to E-Verify to identify any errors, and find out whether the employee contests the
tentative nonconfirmation. The Employer will transmit the Social Security number, or any other
corrected employee information that SSA requests, to SSA for verification again if this review indicates
a need to do so.
4. The Employer will instruct the employee to visit an SSA office within eight Federal Government work
days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal
Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.
5. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case
updates.
6. The Employer agrees not to ask the employee to obtain a printout from the Social Security
Administration number database (the Numident) or other written verification of the SSN from the SSA.
B. REFERRAL TO DHS
1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer must promptly
notify employees in private of the finding and provide them with the notice and letter containing
information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the
English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to
employees. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action
against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. The Employer agrees to refer individuals to DHS only when the employee chooses to contest a
tentative nonconfirmation.
4. If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will instruct the
1292321
Page 10 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
employee to contact DHS through its toll-free hotline (as found on the referral letter) within eight
Federal Government work days.
5. If the Employer finds a photo mismatch, the Employer must provide the photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmation notice and follow the instructions outlined in paragraph 1 of this section for tentative
nonconfirmations, generally.
6. The Employer agrees that if an employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo
mismatch, the Employer will send a copy of the employee’s Form I-551, Form I-766, U.S. Passport, or
passport card to DHS for review by:
a. Scanning and uploading the document, or
b. Sending a photocopy of the document by express mail (furnished and paid for by the employer).
7. The Employer understands that if it cannot determine whether there is a photo match/mismatch, the
Employer must forward the employee’s documentation to DHS as described in the preceding
paragraph. The Employer agrees to resolve the case as specified by the DHS representative who will
determine the photo match or mismatch.
8. DHS will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal
Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.
9. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case
updates.
ARTICLE IV
SERVICE PROVISIONS
A. NO SERVICE FEES
1. SSA and DHS will not charge the Employer for verification services performed under this MOU. The
Employer is responsible for providing equipment needed to make inquiries. To access E-Verify, an
Employer will need a personal computer with Internet access.
ARTICLE V
MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
A. MODIFICATION
1. This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties and shall continue in effect for as long as the
SSA and DHS operates the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all
parties.
2. Any and all E-Verify system enhancements by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to E-Verify
checking against additional data sources and instituting new verification policies or procedures, will be
covered under this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these
changes.

B. TERMINATION
1. The Employer may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days
prior written notice to the other parties.
2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the
Employer’s participation in E-Verify, with or without notice at any time if deemed necessary because of
the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a breach
of system integrity or security by the Employer, or a failure on the part of the Employer to comply with
established E-Verify procedures and/or legal requirements. The Employer understands that if it is a
Federal contractor, termination of this MOU by any party for any reason may negatively affect the
performance of its contractual responsibilities. Similarly, the Employer understands that if it is in a state
where E-Verify is mandatory, termination of this by any party MOU may negatively affect the
Employer’s business.
3. An Employer that is a Federal contractor may terminate this MOU when the Federal contract that
requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such cases, the Federal contractor
must provide written notice to DHS. If an Employer that is a Federal contractor fails to provide such
notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify participant, will remain bound by the terms of this
MOU that apply to non-Federal contractor participants, and will be required to use the E-Verify
procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.
4. The Employer agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or otherwise, if the Employer
is terminated from E-Verify.
ARTICLE VI
PARTIES
A. Some or all SSA and DHS responsibilities under this MOU may be performed by contractor(s), and
SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as necessary. By separate
agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU.
B. Nothing in this MOU is intended, or should be construed, to create any right or benefit, substantive
or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or
employees, or against the Employer, its agents, officers, or employees.
C. The Employer may not assign, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law, change of control or
merger, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this MOU without the prior written consent of
DHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to sublicense, assign,
or transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations herein is void.
D. Each party shall be solely responsible for defending any claim or action against it arising out of or
related to E-Verify or this MOU, whether civil or criminal, and for any liability wherefrom, including (but
not limited to) any dispute between the Employer and any other person or entity regarding the
applicability of Section 403(d) of IIRIRA to any action taken or allegedly taken by the Employer.
E. The Employer understands that its participation in E-Verify is not confidential information and may be
disclosed as authorized or required by law and DHS or SSA policy, including but not limited to,

Congressional oversight, E-Verify publicity and media inquiries, determinations of compliance with
Federal contractual requirements, and responses to inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA).
F. The individuals whose signatures appear below represent that they are authorized to enter into this
MOU on behalf of the Employer and DHS respectively. The Employer understands that any inaccurate
statement, representation, data or other information provided to DHS may subject the Employer, its
subcontractors, its employees, or its representatives to: (1) prosecution for false statements pursuant to
18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or; (2) immediate termination of its MOU and/or; (3) possible debarment or

DBE Utilization
The Department began its DBE race neutral program January 1, 2000. Contract specific goals are not
placed on Federal/State contracts; however, the Department has an overall 10.65% DBE goal it must
achieve. In order to assist contractors in determining their DBE commitment level, the Department has
reviewed the estimates for this letting.
As you prepare your bid, please monitor potential or anticipated DBE utilization for contracts. When the
low bidder executes the contract with the Department, information will be requested of the contractor’s
DBE participation for the project. While the utilization is not mandatory in order to be awarded the project,
continuing utilization of DBE firms on contracts supports the success of Florida’s DBE Program, and
supports contractors’ Equal Employment Opportunity and DBE Affirmative Action Programs.
Any project listed as 0% DBE availability does not mean that a DBE may not be used on that project. A
0% DBE availability may have been established due to any of the following reasons: limited identified
subcontracting opportunities, minimal contract days, and/or small contract dollar amount. Contractors are
encouraged to identify any opportunities to subcontract to DBE’s.
Please contact the Equal Opportunity Office at (850) 414-4747 if you have any questions regarding this
information.
DBE Reporting
If you are the prime contractor on a project, enter your DBE participation in the Equal Opportunity
Compliance system prior to the pre-construction or pre-work conference for all federal and state funded
projects. This will not become a mandatory part of the contract. It will assist the Department in tracking
and reporting planned or estimated DBE utilization. During the contract, the prime contractor is required
to report actual payments to DBE and MBE subcontractors through the web-based Equal Opportunity
Compliance (EOC) system.
All DBE payments must be reported whether or not you initially planned to utilize the company. In order
for our race neutral DBE Program to be successful, your cooperation is imperative. If you have any
questions, please contact EOOHelp@dot.state.fl.us.
Bid Opportunity List
The Federal DBE Program requires States to maintain a database of all firms that are participating or
attempting to participate on FDOT-assisted contracts. The list must include all firms that bid on prime
contracts or bid or quote subcontracts on FDOT-assisted projects, including both DBE’s and non-DBEs.
Please complete the Bidders Opportunity List through the Equal Opportunity Compliance system within 3
business days of submission of the bid or proposal for ALL subcontractors or sub-consultants who quoted
to you for specific project for this letting. The web address to the Equal Opportunity Compliance system
is: https://www.fdot.gov/equalopportunity/eoc.shtm .

Instructions for Certification
Instructions for Certification - Lower Tier Participants:
(Applicable to all subcontracts, purchase orders and other lower tier transactions requiring prior FHWA approval or estimated to
cost $25,000 or more - 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200)
a. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier is providing the certification set out below.
b. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was
entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in
addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department, or agency with which this transaction originated
may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
c. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted if
at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
d. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "participant," "person," "principal," and "voluntarily
excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR Parts 180 and 1200. You may contact the person to which this proposal
is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered
transaction between a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds and a participant (such as the prime or general contract). “Lower
Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts).
“First Tier Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a grantee or subgrantee of
Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower Tier Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a
covered transaction with a First Tier Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).
e. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be
entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended,
declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or
agency with which this transaction originated.
f. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include this clause titled
"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without
modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the
$25,000 threshold.
g. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered
transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that
the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or
otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any
lower tier prospective participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the Excluded Parties List System website
(https://www.epls.gov/), which is compiled by the General Services Administration.
h. 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 clause. The knowledge and information of participant is not required to exceed that
which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
i. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph e of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly
enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from
participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency
with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.

STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CONFLICT OF INTEREST/CONFIDENTIALITY CERTIFICATION
FOR CONSULTANT/CONTRACTOR/TECHNICAL ADVISORS
375-030-50
PROCUREMENT
OGC – 03/17
I certify that I have no present conflict of interest, that I have no knowledge of any conflict of interest that my firm may have, and that I
will recuse myself from any capacity of decision making, approval, disapproval, or recommendation on any contract if I have a conflict of
interest or a potential conflict of interest.
Consultants/Contractors are expected to safeguard their ability to make objective, fair, and impartial decisions when performing work for
the Department, and therefore may not accept benefits of any sort under circumstances in which it could be inferred by a reasonable
observer that the benefit was intended to influence a pending or future decision of theirs, or to reward a past decision. Consultants
performing work for the Department should avoid any conduct (whether in the context of business, financial, or social relationships)
which might undermine the public trust, whether or not that conduct is unethical or lends itself to the appearance of ethical impropriety.
I will maintain the confidentiality of all information not made public by the Florida Department of Transportation (“Department”) related to
the procurement of the above-referenced (“Project”) that I gain access to as a result of my involvement with the Project (“Procurement
Information”). I understand that Procurement Information includes, but is not limited to, documents prepared by or for the Department
related to procurement of the Project. I also understand that Procurement Information includes, but is not limited to, documents
submitted to the Department by entities seeking an award of the Project (“Proposers”). I understand that Procurement Information may
include documents submitted by Proposers related to letters of response/letters of interest, technical proposals, price proposals,
financial proposals, and information shared during exempt meetings. I also understand that Procurement Information may also include
documents that evaluate or review documents submitted by Proposers, and information regarding Project cost estimates. I also agree
not to discuss the Project with anyone who is a member of or acting on behalf of a Proposer.
Unless so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or an opinion of the Office of the Florida Attorney General, I will not divulge any
Procurement Information except to individuals who have executed a Conflict of Interest/Confidentiality Certification which has been
approved by the Department (“Project Personnel”). I understand that a list of Project Personnel will be maintained by Department. If I
am contacted by any member of the public or the media with a request for Procurement Information, I will promptly forward such
request to the Department's Procurement Office. I will also maintain security and control over all documents containing Procurement
Information which are in my custody.
I agree not to solicit or accept gratuities, unwarranted privileges or exemptions, favors, or anything of value from any firm under
consideration for an agreement associated with the Project, and I recognize that doing so may be contrary to statutes, ordinances, and
rules governing or applicable to the Department or may otherwise be a violation of the law.
I agree not to engage in bid tampering, pursuant to Section 838.22, Florida Statutes.
I realize that violation of the above mentioned standards could result in the termination of my work for the Department. I further realize
that violation of the above mentioned statute would be punishable in accordance with Section 838.22, Florida Statutes..
