Description of Service
Collier County operates a complete brokerage system to coordinate transportation for the
disadvantaged citizens. Collier County is considered a complete brokerage, contracting all
paratransit and transportation disadvantaged operations to a provider firm. Collier County will
contract with Limousines of South Florida, Inc., dba Tectrans, Inc. to plan, operate, and manage
CAP paratransit services including: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Transportation
Disadvantaged (TD), and SeniorlNon-Emergency medical transportation services. Paratransit
services are provided to individuals who, because of physical or cognitive conditions, are unable
to access the fixed route bus service or when fixed route service is not available in an area and no
other means of transportation is available to an individual. Limousines of South Florida, Inc., dba
Tectrans, Inc. shall ofTer and maintain the highest service delivery standards and quality.
Three distinct transportation programs are provided under the paratransit program: ADA, TD,
and Medicaid. The ADA program provides service to people who reside within 'l'4-miles of an
existing Collier Area Transit (CAT) fixed route bus service (with origins and destinations within
'l'4-miles of a fixed-route), have transportation needs that fall within the CAT service schedule,
but cannot access the bus system due to a disability. The TD program provides service to people
residing in areas where CAT fixed route bus service is not available, and who have no other
means of transportation. The Medicaid program provides transportation for individuals on
Medicaid to Medicaid-eligible services who cannot travel by the CAT fixed route bus services
and have no other means of transportation. Medicaid service for those eligible TD clients is
available seven (7) days a week, 24 hours a day. Nearly all trips have an origin and destination
within Collier County. However, out-of-County trips may be provided for Medicaid clients, as
necessary and appropriate.
CA T provides fixed route bus services to areas throughout Collier County. There are currently
nine (9) routes, as shown on Attachment A - Collier Area Transit Route Map, providing
service coverage in Collier County. Eight (8) of those routes also operate on Sunday with limited
hours. The service area is Collier County, including Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee. The
total population of the service area is approximately 333,000. In FY 2009, a total of 113,385 one-
way trips were provided by CAP. Table 1 provides an overview of the CAP programs statistics
from the 2008 Collier County Transvortation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSP). Ma;or

Hours and Days of Service
The Contractor will operate the paratransit service program between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and
6:00 p.m. Each of the three paratransit programs has different hours of operation. TD and ADA
service is provided during the hours when fixed route service runs. Currently, CAT fixed route
bus services operate between 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. with specific operating hours varying by
route. Please refer to the most recent CAT schedule for current fixed route bus service operating
hours. This schedule is subject to changes. Collier County reserves the right to amend the
paratransit hours of operation. Collier County is responsible for notifying the selected
Contractor of all changes in schedules and hours of operation.
Depending upon trip purpose and need, Medicaid trips may be provided 24 hours a day and
seven (7) days per week. After hours calls will need to be forwarded to contract carriers who
provide service 24 hours a day for Medicaid eligible clients.
Paratransit services will be provided throughout the year except on the following Holidays: New
Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day). The
Contractor agrees to shift service hours, if needed, to meet demand.
Fares
The Collier County fare structure is included in the Operations Element of the 2008 Collier
County TDSP. As noted in the TDSP, Collier County coordinates three (3) distinct
transportation programs for disadvantaged citizens including: (1) Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA); (2) Transportation Disadvantaged (TD); and (3) Senior/ Non-Emergency medical
transportation services. The Contractor is responsible for collecting the full fare from each
passenger. Each paratransit program has a different fare structure and co-pay depending upon
which transportation program (ADA, TD and Medicaid) the trip is conducted under, as outlined
below.
ADA Program Co-Pay
Those individuals who reside within % mile of an established bus route, but cannot use
regular fixed route service because of a disability. The base fare for this service is two
dollars ($2.00) for a one-way curb-to-curb trip.
Transportation Disadvantaged Co-Pay
Includes qualifying individuals located in areas where fixed route service is not available
and who have no other means of transportation. Transportation availability in the
household may eliminate eligibility. The fare for TD trips ranges between two dollars
($2,00) and six dollars ($6.00) per one way trip, based on income.
Medicaid Program Co-Pay
Medicaid program trips are offered for those persons who cannot travel by fixed route
and have no other means of transportation. Transportation availability in the household
may eliminate eligibility. Medicaid sponsored trips are subject to Medicaid verification

of eligibility. Medicaid clients are required to pay a one dollar ($1.00) co-pay before
each trip.

Clause Lanauaae
Davis-Bacon and Copeland Anti-Kickback Acts
(1) Minimum wages - (i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site
of the work (or under the United States Housing Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of
1949 in the construction or development of the project), will be paid unconditionally and
not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any
account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regulations issued by the
Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages
and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment
computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such
E-51
16K 8
laborers
and
mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under
section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are
considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of
paragraph (1 )(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for
more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively
made or incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be
paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in
29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the
time actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately
set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage
determination (including any additional classifications and wage rates conformed under
paragraph (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted
at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent
and accessible place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics,
including helpers, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be
employed under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage
determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and
wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) Except with respect to helpers as defined as 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), the work to be
performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the
wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination; and
(4) With respect to helpers as defined in 29 CFR 5.2(n)(4), such a classification prevails
in the area in which the work is performed.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification
(if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the
classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where
appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration,
u.s. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 3D-day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the
E-52
16K 8
classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the
proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe
benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including
the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to
the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative,
will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer
or will notify the contracting officer within the 3D-day period that additional time is
necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
paragraphs (a)(1 )(ii) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing
work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is
performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers
or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the
contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay
another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the
contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of
any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or
program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of
the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met.
The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account
assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
(v)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics which
is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract
shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer
shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore
only when the following criteria have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification
(if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the
classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where
appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the contracting officer to the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration,
Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will
approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within
E-53
16K 8
the
30-day
period
that
additional
time
IS
necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the
classification or their representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the
proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe
benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the questions, including
the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to
the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative,
will issue a determination with 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or
will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
paragraphs (a)(1 )(v) (B) or (C) of this section, shall be paid to all workers performing
work in the classification under this contract from the first day on which work is
performed in the classification.
(2) Withholding - Collier County shall upon its own action or upon written request of an
authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld
from the contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon
prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of
the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers
and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the
contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In
the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or
helper, employed or working on the site of the work (or under the United States Housing
Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the construction or development of the
project), all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Collier County may, after
written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may
be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of
funds until such violations have ceased.
(3) Payrolls and basic records - (i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be
maintained by the contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of
three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or
under the United States Housing Act of 1937, or under the Housing Act of 1949, in the
construction or development of the project). Such records shall contain the name,
address, and social security number of each such worker, his or her correct
classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or costs
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types
described in section 1 (b )(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of
hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of
Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1 )(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic
include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a
plan or program described in section 1 (b )(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the contractor
shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is
enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or
program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and
E-54
16K 8
records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost incurred in providing such
benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall
maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification
of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and
wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is
performed a copy of all payrolls to Collier County for transmission to the Federal Transit
Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the
information required to be maintained under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR
part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347
is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of
Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission
of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance,"
signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the
payment of the persons employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be
maintained under section 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5 and that such
information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee)
employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages
earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been
made either directly or indirectly from the full wages earned, other than permissible
deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage
rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as
specified in the applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse
side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the
"Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or
subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under section 1001 of title 18 and section
231 of title 31 of the United States Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph
(a)(3)(i) of this section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized
representatives of the Federal Transit Administration or the Department of Labor, and
shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on the
job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required records or to make
them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of
E-55
16K 8
any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the
required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for
debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
(4) Apprentices and trainees - (i) Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work
at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration,
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of
probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is
not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to
be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of
apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater
than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered
program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not
registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually
performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the
ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable
wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a
contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its
program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the
journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered
program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as
a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage
determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not
specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed
on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determines that a different
practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in
accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws
approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to
utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees - Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work
at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed
pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval,
evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and
Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be
greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the
approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall
E-56
16K 8
be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the
trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with
the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for
less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a
trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage
rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted
under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and
Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the contractor will no
longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for
the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and
journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity
requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act requirements - The contractor shall comply with
the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts - The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the
clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the
Federal Transit Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a
clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier
subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any
subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5.
(7) Contract termination: debarment - A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5
may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a
subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements - All rulings and
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3,
and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards - Disputes arising out of the labor standards
provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this
contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the
Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning
of this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and
the contracting agency, the U,S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their
representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility - (i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies
that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the
E-57
16K 8
contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by
virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for
award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29
CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18
U.S.C. 1001.
17. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT
Background and Application
The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act is codified at 40 USC 3701, et seq.
The Act applies to grantee contracts and subcontracts "financed at least in part by loans
or grants from... the [Federal] Government." 40 USC 3701 (b)(1 )(B)(iii) and (b)(2), 29
CFR 5.2(h), 49 CFR 18.36(i)(6). Although the original Act required its application in any
construction contract over $2,000 or non-construction contract to which the Act applied
over $2,500 (and language to that effect is still found in 49 CFR 18.36(i)(6)), the Act no
longer applies to any "contract in an amount that is not greater than $100,000."
40 USC 3701 (b)(3) (A)(iii).
The Act applies to construction contracts and, in very limited circumstances,
non-construction projects that employ ulaborers or mechanics on a public work,l1
These non-construction applications do not generally apply to transit procurements
because transit procurements (to include rail cars and buses) "are deemed "commercial
items." 40 USC 3707, 41 USC 403 (12). A grantee that contemplates entering into a
contract to procure a developmental or unique item should consult counsel to determine
if the Act applies to that procurement and that additional language required by 29 CFR
5.5(c) must be added to the basic clause below. The clause language is drawn directly
from 29 CFR 5.5(b) and any deviation from the model clause below should be
coordinated with counsel to ensure the Act's requirements are satisfied.

FTA Circular 4220.1F
Applicability to Contracts: All contracts (with the exception of contracts with
nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher education,) in excess of $10,000
shall contain suitable provisions for termination by the grantee including the manner by
E-60
16K 8
which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. (For contracts with nonprofit
organizations and institutions of higher education the threshold is $100,000,) In
addition, such contracts shall describe conditions under which the contract may be
terminated for default as well as conditions where the contract may be terminated
because of circumstances beyond the control of the contractor.
Flow Down: The termination requirements flow down to all contracts in excess of
$10,000, with the exception of contracts with nonprofit organizations and institutions of
higher learning.
a. Termination for Convenience (General Provision) The (Recipient) may terminate
this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when it is
in the Government'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.
The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to (Recipient) to be paid the
Contractor. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to the
(Recipient), the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner the
(Recipient) directs.
b. Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) If the Contractor
does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or, if the
contract is for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the
contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the
(Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient), 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient)'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 (Recipient) setting forth the nature of said breach or
default, (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and
its sureties for said breach or default.
E-6I
16K 8
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that (Recipient) elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this
Contract, such waiver by (Recipient) shall not limit (Recipient)'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
(Recipient), 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 Recipient 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 contract,
the (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient) 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.

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 Recipient.
g. Termination for Default (Transportation Services) If the Contractor fails to pick up
the commodities or to perform the services, including delivery services, within the time
specified in this contract or any extension or if the Contractor fails to comply with any
other provisions of this contract, the (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default.

specifying the nature of default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for
services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in this

the Contractor shall, upon direction of the (Recipient), protect and preserve the goods
until surrendered to the Recipient or its agent. The Contractor and (Recipient) 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 (Recipient).
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 (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient)
shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the
E-62
16K 8
nature of the default. In this event, the Recipient 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 Recipient 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 Recipient 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 Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the
performance of a contract with the Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes,
freight embargoes; and
2. The contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the
(Recipient) in writing of the causes of delay. If in the judgment of the (Recipient), the
delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment
of the (Recipient) shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but subject to appeal
under the Disputes clauses.
If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the
Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations
of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience
of the Recipient.
i. Termination for Convenience or Default (Architect and Engineering) The
(Recipient) may terminate this contract in whole or in part, for the Recipient's
convenience or because of the failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations.
The (Recipient) shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination
specifying the nature, extent, and effective date of the termination. Upon receipt of the
notice, the Contractor shall (1) immediately discontinue all services affected (unless the
notice directs otherwise), and (2) deliver to the Contracting Officer all data, drawings,
specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials
accumulated in performing this contract, whether completed or in process.
If the termination is for the convenience of the Recipient, the Contracting Officer shall
make an equitable adjustment in the contract price but shall allow no anticipated profit
on unperformed services.
If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the
Recipient may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be
liable for any additional cost incurred by the Recipient.
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 Recipient.
E-63
16K 8
j. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The (Recipient)
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
(Recipient) 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 (Recipient), or property supplied to the
Contractor by the (Recipient). If the termination is for default, the (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) and the parties shall negotiate the
termination settlement to be paid the Contractor.
If the termination is for the convenience of the (Recipient), 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.
If, after serving a notice of termination for default, the (Recipient) determines that the
Contractor has an excusable reason for not performing, such as strike, fire, flood,
events which are not the fault of and are beyond the control of the contractor, the
(Recipient), after setting up a new work schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue
work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
22. GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
(NON PROCUREMENT)
Backaround and Applicability
In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal
agencies, DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This
government-wide regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and
Suspension, Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U,S.C. 6101
note (Section 2455, Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327).
The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any
level expected to equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract
(at any level) for Federally required auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This
represents a change from prior practice in that the dollar threshold for application of
these rules has been lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are contracts and
subcontracts referred to in the regulation as "covered transactions."
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered
transactions are required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates)
they propose to contract or subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do
this by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties List System, (b) Collecting a certification from
that person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the contract or subcontract. This
represents a change from prior practice in that certification is still acceptable but is no
longer required. 49 CFR 29.300.
E-64
16K 8
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also
must require the entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and
include this requirement in their own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the
requirement flows down to subcontracts at all levels).
Suspension and Debarment
This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the
contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at
49 CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or
disqualified as defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945.
The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include
the requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered
transaction it enters into.
By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as
follows:
The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by
If it is later determined that the
bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to
remedies available to , the Federal Government may
pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or
debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49
CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract
that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a
provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.
23. PRIVACY ACT
5 U.S.C. 552
Applicability to Contracts: When a grantee maintains files on drug and alcohol
enforcement activities for FTA, and those files are organized so that information could
be retrieved by personal identifier, the Privacy Act requirements apply to all contracts.

consent of the Federal Government before the Contractor or its employees operate a
system of records on behalf of the Federal Government. The Contractor understands
that the requirements of the Privacy Act, including the civil and criminal penalties for
violation of that Act, apply to those individuals involved, and that failure to comply with
the terms of the Privacy Act may result in termination of the underlying contract.
(2) The Contractor also agree~ to include these requirements in each subcontract to
administer any system of records on behalf of the Federal Government financed in
whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FT A.

CONTRACTS INVOLVING EXPERIMENTAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR F?ESEARCH
ltVORK.
A. Rights in Data - This following requirement applies to each contract involving
experimental, developmental or research work:
(1) The term "subject data" used in this clause means recorded information, whether or
not copyrighted, that is delivered or specified to be delivered under the contract. The
term includes graphic or pictorial delineation in media such as drawings or photographs;
text in specifications or related performance or design-type documents; machine forms
E-68
16K 8
such as punched cards, magnetic tape, or computer memory printouts; and information
retained in computer memory. Examples include, but are not limited to: computer
software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process
sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information.
The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar
information incidental to contract administration.
(2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance
of the contract to which this Attachment has been added:
(a) Except for its own internal use, the Purchaser or Contractor may not publish or
reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the
Purchaser or Contractor authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the
Federal Government, until such time as the Federal Government may have either
released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on
publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic institution.
(b) In accordance with 49 C,F.R. S 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. S 19.36, the Federal
Government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to

and (2)(b)~ of this clause below. As used in the previous sentence, "for Federal
Government purposes," means use only for the direct purposes of the Federal
Government. Without the copyright owner's consent, the Federal Government may not
extend its Federal license to any other party.
1. Any subject data developed under that contract, whether or not a copyright has been
obtained; and
2. Any rights of copyright purchased by the Purchaser or Contractor using Federal
assistance in whole or in part provided by FT A.
(c) When FTA awards Federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research
work, it is FT A's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the
public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that
work, Therefore, unless FTA determines otherwise, the Purchaser and the Contractor
performing experimental, developmental, or research work required by the underlying
contract to which this Attachment is added agrees to permit FTA to make available to
the public, either FT A's license in the copyright to any subject data developed in the
course of that contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the contract
for which a copyright has not been obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or
research work, which is the subject of the underlying contract, is not completed for any
reason whatsoever, all data developed under that contract shall become subject data as
defined in subsection (a) of this clause and shall be delivered as the Federal
Government may direct. This subsection (c) , however, does not apply to adaptations of
automatic data processing equipment or programs for the Purchaser or Contractor's use
whose costs are financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA
for transportation capital projects.

Purchaser and the Contractor agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Federal
Government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official
duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or
intentional violation by the Purchaser or Contractor of proprietary rights, copyrights, or
right of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or
disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the Purchaser nor the
Contractor shall be required to indemnify the Federal Government for any such liability
arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the Federal
Government.

Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or
other right otherwise granted to the Federal Government under any patent.

Federal assistance provided by the Federal Government that has been incorporated
into work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment has been added

that the Purchaser or Contractor identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of
the contract work.
(g) Unless FTA determines otherwise, the Contractor agrees to include these
requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work
financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA.
(3) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing,
irrespective of the Contractor's status (i.e., a large business, small business, state
government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution
of higher education, individual, etc.), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the
necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the
Federal Government as described in
U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit
Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and
Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R. Part 401.
(4) The Contractor also agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for

government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution
of higher education, individual), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the
necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the
Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations,

27. TRANSIT EMPLOYEE PROTECTIVE AGREEMENTS
49 U.S.C. ~ 5310, ~ 5311, and ~ 5333
29 CFR Part 215
Applicability to Contracts: The Transit Employee Protective Provisions apply to
each contract for transit operations performed by employees of a Contractor
recognized by FT A to be a transit operator, (Because transit operations involve
many activities apart from directly driving or operating transit vehicles, FTA determines
which activities constitute transit "operations" for purposes of this clause.)
Flow Down: These provisions are applicable to all contracts and subcontracts at every
tier.
Transit Employee Protective Provisions. (1) The Contractor agrees to the comply
with applicable transit employee protective requirements as follows:
(a) General Transit Employee Protective Requirements - To the extent that FTA
determines that transit operations are involved, the Contractor agrees to carry out the
transit operations work on the underlying contract in compliance with terms and
conditions determined by the U.S. Secretary of Labor to be fair and equitable to protect
the interests of employees employed under this contract and to meet the employee
protective requirements of 49 U,S.C. A 5333(b), and U.S. DOL guidelines at 29 C.F.R.
Part 215, and any amendments thereto. These terms and conditions are identified in
the letter of certification from the U.S. DOL to FTA applicable to the FTA Recipient's
project from which Federal assistance is provided to support work on the underlying
contract. The Contractor agrees to carry out that work in compliance with the conditions
stated in that U.S. DOL letter. The requirements of this subsection (1), however, do not
apply to any contract financed with Federal assistance provided by FTA either for
projects for elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities authorized by 49 U,S.C. 9
5310(a)(2), or for projects for nonurbanized areas authorized by 49 U.S.C. 9 5311.
Alternate provisions for those projects are set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this
clause,
E-71
16K 8
(b) Transit Employee Protective Requirements for Proiects Authorized by 49 U.S.C. 9
5310(a)(2) for Elderly Individuals and Individuals with Disabilities - If the contract
involves transit operations financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance
authorized by 49 U.S.C. ~ 5310(a)(2), and if the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has
determined or determines in the future that the employee protective requirements of 49
U.S.C. 9 5333(b) are necessary or appropriate for the state and the public body
subrecipient for which work is performed on the underlying contract, the Contractor
agrees to carry out the Project in compliance with the terms and conditions determined
by the U.S. Secretary of Labor to meet the requirements of 49 U.S.C. ~ 5333(b), U.S.
DOL guidelines at 29 C.F.R. Part 215, and any amendments thereto. These terms and
conditions are identified in the U.S. DOL's letter of certification to FTA, the date of which
is set forth Grant Agreement or Cooperative Agreement with the state. The Contractor
agrees to perform transit operations in connection with the underlying contract in
compliance with the conditions stated in that U.S. DOL letter.
(c) Transit Employee Protective Requirements for Proiects Authorized by 49 U,S.C. 9
5311 in Nonurbanized Areas - If the contract involves transit operations financed in
whole or in part with Federal assistance authorized by 49 U.S.C. ~ 5311, the Contractor
agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the Special Warranty for the
Nonurbanized Area Program agreed to by the U.S. Secretaries of Transportation and
Labor, dated May 31, 1979, and the procedures implemented by U.S. DOL or any
revision thereto.
(2) The Contractor also agrees to include the any applicable requirements in each
subcontract involving transit operations financed in whole or in part with Federal
assistance provided by FT A.
28. DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE)
49 CFR Part 26
Backaround and Applicability
The newest version on the Department of Transportation's Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) program became effective July 16, 2003. The rule provides guidance
to grantees on the use of overall and contract goals, requirement to include DBE
provisions in subcontracts, evaluating DBE participation where specific contract goals
have been set, reporting requirements, and replacement of DBE subcontractors.
Additionally, the DBE program dictates payment terms and conditions (including
limitations on retainage) applicable to all subcontractors regardless of whether they are
DBE firms or not.
The DBE program applies to all DOT-;;Jssisted contracting activities. A formal
clause such as that below must be included in all contracts above the micro-purchase
level. The requirements of clause subsection b flow down to subcontracts.
A substantial change to the payment provisions in this newest version of Part 26
concerns retainage (see section 26.29). Grantee choices concerning retainage should
be reflected in the language choices in clause subsection d.
E-72
16K 8
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
a. This contract is subject to the requirements of Title 49, 49 Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 26, Participation by Disadvantaged Enterprises in Department
of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs. Collier Area Transit's goal for
DBE participation is 12.06%.
b. A separate contract goal has not been established for this procurement.
c. The contractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin,
or sex in the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out
applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of
this DOT-assisted contract. 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 Collier County deems
appropriate. Each subcontract the contractor signs with a subcontractor must
include the assurance in this paragraph (see 49 CFR 26.13(b)).
d. The successful bidder/offeror will be required to report its DBE participation
obtained through race-neutral means throughout the period of performance. In
order to comply with the provisions of 49 CFR 26, the bidder/offeror agrees to the
following:
· Bid Opportunity List - shall submit with all Requests for Proposals and
Invitations For Bid.
· Anticipated DBE Participation Statement - shall submit with all Requests for
Proposals and Invitations For Bid.
· DBE Directory - the bidder/offeror may use the online DBE directory, BizNet,
www.bipincwebapPs.com/biznetflorida/ to locate ready, willing, and able DBE's to
perform sub-contractor work or sub-consultant work on USDOT assisted
contracts.
· Subcontractor Payment Report - shall submit monthly to comply with
monitoring requirements of 49 CFR 26.
e. The contractor is required to pay its subcontractors performing work related to
this contract for satisfactory performance of that work no later than 30 days after
the contractor's receipt of payment for that work from Collier County. In addition,
the contractor is required to return any retainage payments to those
subcontractors within thirty (30) days after the subcontractor's work related to this
contract is satisfactorily completed.
f. The contractor must promptly notify Collier County, whenever a DBE
subcontractor performing work related to this contract is terminated or fails to
complete its work, and must make good faith efforts to engage another DBE
subcontractor to perform at least the same amount of work. The contractor may
not terminate any DBE subcontractor and perform that work through its own
forces or those of an affiliate without prior written consent of Collier County.

30. INCORPORATION OF FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION 1FT A) TERMS
FTA Circular 4220.1F
Applicability to Contracts: The incorporation of FTA terms applies to all contracts.
Flow Down: The incorporation of FTA terms has unlimited flow down.
Incorporation of Federal Transit Administration (FT A) Terms - The preceding
provisions include, in part, certain Standard Terms and Conditions required by DOT,
whether or not expressly set forth in the preceding contract provisions. All contractual
provisions required by DOT, as set forth in FTA Circular 4220,1 F, are hereby
incorporated by reference. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all FTA
mandated terms shall be deemed to control in the event of a conflict with other
provisions contained in this Agreement. The Contractor shall not perform any act, fail to
perform any act, or refuse to comply with any (name of grantee) requests which would
cause (name of grantee) to be in violation of the FTA terms and conditions.
31. DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING
49 U.S.C. ~5331
49 CFR Part 655
Applicability to Contracts: The Drug and Alcohol testing provisions apply to
Operational Service Contracts.
Flow Down Requirements: Anyone who performs a safety-sensitive function for the
recipient or subrecipient is required to comply with 49 CFR 653 and 654, with certain
exceptions for contracts involving maintenance services. Maintenance contractors for
non-urbanized area formula program grantees are not subject to the rules. Also, the
rules do not apply to maintenance subcontractors.
Introduction
FTA's drug and alcohol rules, 49 CFR 655, respectively, are unrque among the
regulations issued by FTA. First, they require recipients to ensure that any entity
performing a safety-sensitive function on the recipient's behalf (usually subrecipients
and/or contractors) implement a complex drug and alcohol testing program that
complies with Part 655. Second, the rules condition the receipt of certain kinds of FTA
funding on the recipient's compliance with the rules; thus, the recipient is not in
compliance with the rules unless every entity that performs a safety-sensitive function
on the recipient's behalf is in compliance with the rules. Third, the rules do not specify
how a recipient ensures that its subrecipients and/or contractors comply with them.
Explanation of Model Contract Clauses:
Collier County relies on the contractor to implement a drug and alcohol testing program
that complies with 49 CFR 655, but retains the ability to monitor the contractor's testing
program; thus, the recipient has less control over its compliance with the drug and
E-74
16K 8
alcohol testing rules than it does under option 1. The advantage of this approach is that
it places the responsibility for complying with the rules on the entity that is actually
performing the safety-sensitive function. Moreover, it reserves to the recipient the
power to ensure that the contractor complies with the program. The disadvantage of
Option 2 is that without adequate monitoring of the contractor's program, the recipient
may find itself out of compliance with the rules.
Drug and Alcohol Testing
The contractor agrees to establish and implement a drug and alcohol testing program
that complies with 49 CFR Part 655, produce any documentation necessary to establish
its compliance with Part 655, and permit any authorized representative of the United
States Department of Transportation or its operating administrations, the State
Oversight Agency of (name of State), or the (insert name of grantee), to inspect the
facilities and records associated with the implementation of the drug and alcohol testing
program as required under 49 CFR Parts 655 and review the testing process. The
contractor agrees further to certify annually its compliance with Part 655 before (insert
date) and to submit the Management Information System (MIS) reports before (insert
date before March 15) to (insert title and address of person responsible for receiving
information). To certify compliance the contractor shall use the "Substance Abuse
Certifications" in the "Annual List of Certifications and Assurances for Federal Transit
Administration Grants and Cooperative Agreements," which is published annually in the
Federal Register.
32. ADA Access
49 U.S.C. 95301
Access for Individuals with Disabilities. The Recipient agrees to comply with 49 U.S.C.
9 5301 (d), which states the Federal policy that elderly individuals and individuals with
disabilities have the same right as other individuals to use public transportation services
and facilities, and that special efforts shall be made in planning and designing those
services and facilities to implement transportation accessibility rights for elderly
individuals and individuals with disabilities. The Recipient also agrees to comply with all
applicable provisions of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, with
29 U.S.C. 9 794, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability; with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 99 12101 et
seq., which requires that accessible facilities and services be made available to
individuals with disabilities; and with the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 994151 et seq., which requires that buildings and public accommodations be
accessible to individuals with disabilities, and any subsequent amendments to these
laws or other laws pertaining to access for individuals with disabilities to the extent
applicable.
33. ITS Standards
5206(e)
Section 5206(e) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century, Public Law 105-
178, 112 Stat. 547, pertaining to conformance with the National Intelligent
Transportation Systems Architecture and Standards.
