Agenda 02/12/2013 Item #11B 2/12/2013 11 .B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to deny the formal protest objection and uphold the Purchasing Director's decision denying Poole & Kent Company of Florida the award of Invitation to Bid (ITB)#12-5952, Aerated Sludge Holding Tank(ASHT)/Flow Equalization Tank(FET), Projects 73950 and 70091; prohibit Poole & Kent from benefiting from the Board's local vendor preference for one (1) year; and, approve the above ITB award to contractor Mitchell & Stark Construction Co. in the amount of $6,307,000.00 and authorize the Chairwoman to execute the agreement. OBJECTIVE: To determine the final resolution of the formal protest decision issued by the County's Purchasing Director (adopted by the County Manager), and subsequent objection by Poole & Kent Company of Florida, and finalize the solicitation recommendation for the Aerated Sludge Holding Tank (ASHT)/Flow Equalization Tank (FET) at the North County Water Reclamation Facility (NCWRF). CONSIDERATIONS: On June 24, 2008, as Agenda Item IOG, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted the 2008 Wastewater Master Plan Update that identified the requirement for upgrading the NCWRF. This project is consistent with the 2008 Wastewater Master Plan Update, Project 73950, "NCWRF Bridge the Gap—User Fee"and subsequent Project 70091, "NCWRF Bridge the Gap Phase 1," as shown in Section 8, Table 8-2, Page 3 of 5, Line 91; and, with the 2010 Wastewater CIP Update, Page 2 of 4, line 77, as identified in the 2011 User Fee Rate Study. The existing ASHT in the Oxidation Ditch (initial) treatment side of the NCWRF was built in approximately 1974 and is at the end of its useful life. It is a component of the current permitted 24.1 million gallons per day plant treatment capacity. It is a dilapidated, non-functioning steel ring tank that is severely rusted, has deteriorated past the point of its service life, and was decommissioned in 2005. Construction of this tank is a conditional requirement of the NCWRF Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) operating permit and was a negotiation condition and regulatory commitment from the county to the FDEP to be released from the 2006 FDEP consent order. Construction of the new ASHT/FET will allow demolition and removal of the out of service tank and associated retired appurtenances, and will provide plant operators a more reliable and sustainable means to stabilize and hold sludge until it can be returned into the process for further treatment. The new tank will aid in overcoming the hydraulic challenges that the operators face daily. Equalization storage will increase from 12-percent to 19-percent, which will better enable operations staff to manage peak wastewater flows. Included in the scope of this project are the replacement of equipment and appurtenances that are beyond their useful life, including a new ASHT, a new blower structure, new odor control and associated ducting, demolition and removal of the old dilapidated grit structure, demolition and removal of the old electrical building that no longer meets the electric codes and is under the flood plain, and demolition and removal of the alum tank and foundation that is no longer in use. Odor control and landscaping are included to meet the standards of, and to ensure compliance with, the good neighbor policy. Packet Page-461- 2/12/2013 11 .B. The bid contained two allowances for unforeseen field conditions that may not become apparent or manifest themselves until construction commences. The allowances were identified specifically for unforeseen conditions, are owner-directed via a zero dollar change by letter which specifically identifies the use of the allowance, and if the funds are not used or needed for unforeseen conditions, the money will revert back to the county via a deductive change order/credit. The first allowance of$450,000 was for general unforeseen field conditions that may not become apparent or manifest themselves until construction commences. The second allowance of $200,000 was for Site Development Plan (SDP) requirements generated from the in-process SDP approval. Since the bid was opened, the SDP permit has been approved and issued, resulting in only insubstantial changes totaling less than $1,000. Therefore, the $200,000 SDP allowance is not required. Upon award, staff will issue a deductive change order to the contract for$200,000. The general allowance in the amount of$450,000 is for general unforeseen field conditions that may not become apparent or manifest themselves until construction commences. It can be used for items including, but not limited to, buried piping, electrical ducts or conduits that are unknown at this time, or items related to the demolition and removal of the old steel ring sludge tank, grit chamber, alum tank and its foundation, the old electrical building, and insubstantial SDP changes. The aforementioned structures were built in approximately 1974, and there are no existing record drawings for them. The adjacent underground conditions are unknown, and therefore cannot be accounted for in the final design and bidding documents. Authorization of any portion of this general allowance will only be permitted upon approval by the County in accordance with the County's Purchasing Policy. The Purchasing Department certified that notification for the attached solicitation #12-5952 NCWRF ASHT/FET was advertised to approximately 1,693 registered vendor email addresses on July 20, 2012, and closed for submittals on August 22, 2012. 85 solicitation packages were downloaded; there were two (2) submitted responses; zero (0) "no-interest" responses; and zero (0) were deemed non-responsive. The order of the contractors by lowest to highest submittal was: Firm Name` Location Offer Poole &Kent Company of Florida Miami $6,307,000.00 Mitchell & Stark Construction Co. Naples $6,314,775.00 The Poole &Kent Company of Florida appeared to be the lowest responsive bidder at the time of bid submittal. The firm declared themselves as a local vendor under the Board's Purchasing Policy (XI. Preference to Local Businesses in Collier Contracts). After further review by the Purchasing staff, and in consultation with the County Attorney's Office, it was determined that the Poole & Kent Company of Florida (address as identified on the affidavit as 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, Fl 33993): • Submitted a completed and notarized Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business, indicating that 128 employees are employed in Collier and Lee Counties since 2006 and 73 of those employees live in Collier and Lee Counties; • Is registered with the State of Florida Division of Corporations with their principal address in Miami, FL; Packet Page-462- , 2/12/2013 11 .B. • Is registered with Lee County Tax Collector (business tax receipt available) and is not registered with the Collier County Tax Collector; • Has not made payment to Lee County for real property or tangible property taxes; and • Identified a property address (on the Affidavit) owned by the City of Cape Coral. The Purchasing staff confirmed with Poole & Kent by telephone that their trailer was on the City of Cape Coral property site. The Purchasing staff determined that the Poole & Kent Company of Florida did not meet the conditions of the Board's Policy on local vendor preference based on the facts above, and the decision made by the Board on March 9, 2010 (Agenda Item IOD) where similar facts were presented. (In that instance, the apparent lowest responsive bidder [Cardinal Construction] operated a construction trailer on Marco Island, claimed "local preference," and employed Collier County residents; however, the company's registration with the State of Florida Division of Corporations demonstrated a principal address in Sarasota, FL, and the company did not provide evidence of a business tax license. In consideration of the facts that led to the final decision, the Board considered that Cardinal Construction lacked a "permanent" physical business address and that the company had not paid real property or tangible property taxes to the County. In summary, the Board determined that there was not significant evidence of a contribution to the local economy.) In this current case, the Purchasing staff offered Mitchell & Stark the "right to match"the lowest responsive non-local offered price, and received evidence of their acceptance, along with a copy of their "Drug-Free" affidavit. The Purchasing Department publicly announced the recommendation of award to Mitchell & Stark on August 28, 2012; subsequently Poole & Kent filed an award protest on September 6, 2012. The Purchasing Director considered the allegations and facts proffered by Poole & Kent's attorney (Arnstein & Lehr), including the review of each of the bidders notarized Affidavits for Claiming Local Vendor Preference. The Poole & Kent Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business appears to contain false information intended to establish the company as a "local vendor" because it identified a local address of 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, FL 33993, which doesn't, and hasn't, had any type of structure on site; either permanently affixed, or a temporary construction trailer, from which to conduct business for a very long time. This information was obtained from the Lee County property records; City of Cape Coral Utilities department's aerial records and pictures obtained from 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012. In a conversation with project manager Thomas Machinski (MWH Global) who was responsible for a City of Cape Coral project at this location, Mr. Machinski advised that the project"closed out"in April 2010; (as a subcontractor on that project, Poole & Kent had occupied a construction trailer at that site.) This trailer was moved from this location prior to February 2011. Based upon all of those facts, The Purchasing Director opined that there was no presence of a Poole & Kent Office at 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, FL 33993 at the time the above mentioned bid submission was turned in, nor was there one at that location one year prior to the date of the bid submission. Accordingly, it was the decision of the Purchasing Director to disqualify Poole & Kent's bid submission for submitting false information in its notarized Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business, and to direct staff to move forward with award for this solicitation to Mitchell and Stark. This decision to disqualify Poole & Kent's bid renders all remaining arguments regarding the County's Local Vendor Policy as moot. Packet Page-463- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Pursuant to Section XIX.F of the Board's Purchasing Policy, on September 19, 2012, Poole & Kent's attorney issued a written objection to the Purchasing Director's decision and requested that the County Manager appoint an independent hearing officer to review the facts and conduct a hearing regarding the Poole & Kent's bid protest. The County Manager upheld the Purchasing Director's decision and denied the request. On November 1, 2012, County staff received a signed notarized affidavit from the City of Cape Coral's Chief Plant Operator since 2007, Andrew Fenske, whose office is located at the City's Treatment Plant located at 1200 Kismet Parkway West who swore, in part, that: 1. Poole and Kent had an office trailer, and other trailers sometime in 2007 for storing tools and materials for a job at the 1200 Kismet Parkway West Cape Coral job site; 2. Sometime in the fall of 2010, the office trailer was removed from the plant and never brought back, leaving only storage trailers present at the City's treatment plant; and 3. To the best of his knowledge, the City of Cape Coral does not allow private companies to conduct non-city related business to the general public on City property. A copy of Mr. Fenske's Affidavit is attached for the Board's consideration. Although the facts clearly support the conclusion that Poole & Kent is not a local vendor under the County's Purchasing Policy, a thorough analysis confirms that Poole & Kent is not even eligible for consideration under that policy. Special emphasis should be noted that the address Poole & Kent provided in its Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business is located on City of Cape Coral property. After the County adopted its Local Vendor Policy, it entered into a "Local Vendor Preference Reciprocity Agreement" with Lee County on October 14, 2008. (See copy attached). Through that agreement, Lee and Collier Counties agreed to deem vendors with physical business addresses in each other's jurisdiction as "local" for preference purposes. Collier and Lee only have jurisdiction to bind the unincorporated portions of their respective counties; and not the municipalities located within their respective incorporated portions. Notably, Collier County also entered into a separate "Local Vendor Preference Reciprocity Agreement"with the City of Bonita Springs on July 28, 2009. This is consistent with the Collier County Purchasing Policy Section XI(5) that allows Collier to enter into reciprocity agreements with "Lee County, or any other Florida county or municipality . . . deemed appropriate by the Collier County Board of Commissioners. . . [.]" Collier County has not entered into a Reciprocity Agreement with the City of Cape Coral. Therefore, Collier County is not bound to grant any local vendor preference to a business (regardless whether it has a physical business address) located within the City of Cape Coral; especially involving a storage trailer actually located on City property. Finally, it bears noting that although the City of Cape Coral's Purchasing Policy does incorporate a form of local vendor preference, it is not equally applied to Collier County businesses. The Code of Ordinances of the City of Cape Coral, Florida, Section 2-144(a)(10) provides a Packet Page-464- 2/12/2013 11 .B. preference for contractors submitting competitive sealed bids but it does not specifically identify Collier County businesses as an eligible "local contractor/vendor" under its policy. The Cape Coral Ordinance does incorporate a slight preference for Collier County professional firms (engineers, consultants, etc.) submitting qualification based proposals but even that benefit is limited by adding the following points or percentages to the scores: • Cape Coral professionals receive ten points or 10% • Lee County professionals receive seven points or 7% • Collier, Charlotte, Glades and Hendry County professionals receive three points or 3% Code of Ordinances of City of Cape Coral § 2-144(h)(4)(c). By comparison, the preferential treatment Collier County provides Lee County and the City of Bonita Springs under the respective Reciprocity Agreements provides a match opportunity for their eligible competitive bid contractors and also provides 10 points or 10%to the total score of professionals submitting qualification based proposals. Collier County has no such reciprocal arrangement with the City of Cape Coral; therefore, Poole and Kent is not eligible to be treated as a local vendor under Collier County's policy. On November 19, 2012 (Item 11 G and 11 H), after hearing arguments presented by Poole and Kent's attorney, Mr. Stuart Sakwa, the Board "continued this item" to allow further review by the County Attorney's Office. The County Attorney's Office secured the opinion of outside counsel to determine if the arguments presented were substantive with respect to the decision made by the Purchasing Direction in the application of the local vendor preference and due process. Based on the collective opinion of the County Attorney's Office and outside counsel, Staff recommends that the Board deny the formal protest objection and uphold the Purchasing Director's decision denying Poole & Kent Company of Florida the award of Invitation to Bid (ITB) #12-5952, Aerated Sludge Holding Tank (ASHT)/Flow Equalization Tank (FET) as Projects 70091 and 72549; prohibit Poole & Ken from benefiting from the Board's local vendor preference (XI (1)) for one (1) year; and, approve the award to contractor Mitchell & Stark Construction Co. in the amount of $6,307,000.00; authorize the Chairwoman to execute the agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: Other than the costs of the Board awarding the resultant contract for ITB #12-5952 Aerated Sludge Holding Tank (ASHT)/Flow Equalization Tank (FET), future expenses are undetermined at this time. Funding for this project is available and is consistent with the FY2013 Capital Budget approved by the Board on September 20, 2012. The source of funding is the Wastewater User Fee Fund 414. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: On November 19, 2012, the Board heard the arguments of Poole & Kent's attorney and, at the request of the County Attorney's Office, continued this item so that the issues raised by the protesting party at the meeting could be further evaluated. After reviewing those issues and conferring with outside counsel, it remains the recommendation of this office to deny Poole & Kent's protest. The various issues previously raised by Poole &Kent are addressed below. Packet Page-465- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ISSUE NO. 1 POOLE & KENT LACKS STANDING TO PROTEST BECAUSE IT , SUBMITTED FALSE AND/OR MISLEADING INFORMATION IN ITS BIDS Pursuant to the bid specifications in the solicitation, as well as the Purchasing Policy, a local business is defined as a business that has a valid occupational license issued by either Collier or Lee County for a minimum of one (1) year prior to a Collier County bid or proposal submission that authorizes the business to provide the commodities or service to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of Collier or Lee Counties from which the vendor operates or performs business. See Purchasing Policy Section XI(1). Poole & Kent submitted an affidavit claiming status as a local business (the "Affidavit"). In the Affidavit, Poole & Kent represented that it had a local business address of 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, Florida. Poole & Kent submitted the Affidavit in order to qualify for the local preference designation pursuant to the bid specifications and Collier County's Purchasing Policy. An investigation by the County determined that Poole & Kent did not have a physical business address in either Collier or Lee County from which it operated or performed business. The County determined that, at best, Poole & Kent maintained only a storage trailer at the address listed in the Affidavit. In addition, the County received the Affidavit of Andrew Fenske, the Chief Plant Operator for the City of Cape Coral's treatment plant. He verified that the address listed by Poole & Kent is owned by the City of Cape Coral. Further, a Poole & Kent trailer that sits on the property at that address was used only for the City's treatment plant project. In addition, the City of Cape Coral forbids companies, such as Poole & Kent, from conducting non- city related business with the general public on City property.' Based on this information, it is apparent that Poole & Kent does not own or occupy the address listed in its local business affidavit. Further, it does not operate or perform business from that address. Based on Poole and Kent's misrepresentation in its bid submittals, Collier County has the ability pursuant to the ITBs and the Purchasing Policy to reject Poole & Kent's bids. In Florida, a "contract cannot be awarded to a vendor who misrepresents information in its bid to make itself appear compliant with the solicitation requirements. To allow such would only encourage other vendors to make misrepresentations in their bids." Keystone Peer Review Organization, Inc. v. Agency for Healthcare Administration, 2010 WL 5581918, 13-14 (Fla.Div.Admin.Hrgs.); citing Statewide Process Service of Fla.. Inc. v. Department of Transportation, 1995 WL 1053244, 4 (Fla.Div.Admin.Hrgs.). In Keystone Peer Review, the hearing officer concluded that where a misrepresentation or irregularity gives one vendor an unfair competitive advantage, it cannot be waived and the bid is materially non-responsive. See also Harry Pepper & Associates, Inc. v. City of Cape Coral, 352 So.2d 1190 (Fla. 2d DCA 'Notably, Poole & Kent recently submitted a bid on another unrelated County project and listed as its "local address"a property that belongs to the City of Naples-1000 Fleischman Boulevard. The City of Naples's Finance Director confirmed in an email,that as to that property: (1)the property is owned by the City,(2)Poole&Kent has three trailers on the City's property for material storage, tool storage and for the project supervisor, and (3) that Poole & Kent is not supposed to conduct non-city business with the general public on City property, cannot claim the site as its place of business and does not have a City of Naples business tax receipt. Poole&Kent's continued sworn misrepresentation that it has a local address is unacceptable. In fact, Section XI (1) provides the following sanction: "A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its fine in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year." Packet Page-466- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 1977)("the test for measuring whether a deviation in a bid is sufficiently material to destroy its competitive character is whether the variation affects the amount of the bid by giving the bidder an advantage or benefit not enjoyed by the other bidders."). In addition, Collier County's Code of Ordinances, Section 2-187 defines "qualified bidder" or "qualified offeror" as, "a person who has the capability in all respects to perform fully the contract requirement and has the integrity and reliability which will assure good-faith performance." "A vendor who makes admitted misrepresentations to an agency can hardly be considered to have the `integrity and reliability' necessary to be a responsible bidder." Keystone Peer Review, 2010 WL 5581918, at 14. Further, Collier County is permitted to consider the factors listed in the ITBs in determining whether a particular bidder is "responsible" to bid on a construction project. Eng'g Contractors Ass'n. of S. Florida, Inc. v. Broward County, 789 So. 2d 445, 451 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). The "Public Notice" section of each of the solicitations states, "the Owner (County) reserves the right to reject all bids or any bid not conforming to the intent and purpose of the Bidding Documents." (emphasis added). Similarly, Section 4 of each of the solicitations titled "Right to Reject Bids" states, "the Owner reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to waive informalities and negotiate with the apparent lowest, qualified Bidder to such extent as may be necessary for budgetary reasons." In addition, Section VI of the Collier County Purchasing Policy pertains to the competitive bid process. Subsection D, titled "Rejection Of Bids And Negotiation" states "the Board of County Commissioners shall have the authority to reject any and all bids." Based on the above, the County clearly has the ability to reject and/or disqualify Poole & Kent's bid. A bidder who is ineligible to be awarded the contract at issue does not have standing to protest the award. Preston Carol Co., Inc. v. Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, 400 So. 2d 524 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981); Enabling Technologies Co. v. Fla. Dept. of Labor & Employment Security, 1996 WL 1060412 (Fla. Div. Admin. Hrgs.); Keystone Peer Review, 2010 WL 5581918, at 13-14 (the hearing officer determined that because the vendor misrepresented information in its ITN response, it did not have standing to challenge or otherwise request the award of the contract.) In this instance, Poole & Kent sought to gain an unfair advantage over other bidders by claiming that it qualified for local preference status, when in fact it had not met the criteria to establish same. Therefore, the Board of County Commissioners is well within its discretion to uphold the denial of the protests and further disqualify Poole & Kent, which would in turn render Poole & Kent's protest appeals moot, as it would lack standing to protest either of the solicitations at issue. ISSUE NO. II GROUNDS ASSERTED BY POOLE & KENT IN ITS PROTEST As set forth above, if Poole & Kent's bids are disqualified from consideration, it lacks standing to protest the County's recommended awards. However, even if Poole & Kent had standing to protest, the grounds upon which it is protesting are non-meritorious, as set forth in more detail below. Packet Page-467- 2/12/2013 11 .B. (a) Pool & Kent Asserts the Local Vendor Preference Violates Section 255.20, Florida Statutes. Poole & Kent asserts that Section 255.20, Fla. Stat. requires that the contract be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder. Poole & Kent, however, fails to appreciate the complete statutory text. Section 255.20(1)(d)(1) states: If the project is to be awarded based on price, the contract must be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder in accordance with the applicable county or municipal ordinance or district resolution and in accordance with the applicable contract documents...this subsection is not intended to restrict the rights of any local government to reject the low bid of a non- qualified or non-responsive bidder and to award the contract to any other qualified and responsive bidder in accordance with the standards and procedures of any applicable county or municipal ordinance or any resolution of a special district. (Emphasis added). Section 255.20(1)(d)(I) does not mandate that the contract awarded on price can only be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder. Instead, the statute contemplates the award to a bidder in accordance with an applicable county ordinance, even if that means the award will not go to the otherwise lowest responsive bidder. In this case, the County's local vendor preference is set forth in the County's Purchasing Policy, which was mandated by Ordinance No. 87-25. Further, the applicable contract documents, in this case the ITBs, also set oft forth the local vendor preference. Further, Poole & Kent lacks the ability to challenge the local vendor preference in its protest. Section XIX of the County's Purchasing Policy pertains to protest of bid awards. Subsection B states: All formal protests with respect to an Invitation for Bids...shall be submitted to the Purchasing Director in writing not less than four (4)hours prior to the opening of bids.... if a bidder seeks to challenge the bid specifications, it must do so not less than four (4) hours before the bids are opened. Poole & Kent, however, failed to file any specification challenge or protest within the applicable time frame. The only protest it filed was after the bids were opened, and the recommended awards were posted. Therefore, Poole &Kent is now barred from asserting such a challenge to the specifications in its protests. Section XIX(I) of the Protest Policy states, "Failure to file a formal protest within the time and manner prescribed by Section XIX shall constitute a waiver of the right to protest by any protesting party as defined in Subsection A of this section." Ironically, despite its challenge to the local vendor policy, Poole & Kent sought, and still seeks, to avail itself to the preference. Poole & Kent challenges the preference only because it was deemed by the County not to qualify for the preference. Poole & Kent's contradictory positions highlight the lack of merit to its protest. Packet Page-468- 2/12/2013 11 .B. (b) Poole & Kent Claims the Local Price Match Option Is Illegal And Contradictory To Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, and Violates the Integrity of Public Contracting First, Section 120.57, Fla. Stat. applies only to protests pursuant to Chapter 120. Poole & Kent's protest is pursuant to Collier County's Purchasing Policy, as well as the bid specifications, and does not fall within the ambit of Chapter 120. Therefore, any reference to Section 120.57, Fla. Stat. is inapplicable and without merit. Second, as set forth above, Poole & Kent's challenge to the local vendor preference should not be regarded as Poole &Kent failed to timely file a specification protest. Third, Poole & Kent mistakenly relies upon the case Harry Pepper to support its protest. In Harry Pepper, a bidder was permitted to change a material component of its bid (a key piece of equipment to be incorporated into the project) in order to conform to the bid specifications. In that case, the City's permitting the bidder to change its terms was deemed to give that bidder an unfair competitive advantage not afforded to other bidders. In the present case, the County is administering the local vendor preference, which all bidders were aware of prior to the submittal deadline, and which does not provide an advantage not afforded to other bidders. Local vendor preferences have been recognized in Florida. In fact, the Florida Attorney General concluded that it is permissible to give a preference to local bidders in the form of a percentage reduction in the contract price or, in the event that equally qualified vendors, local bidders would be awarded the contract. Attorney General Op. 2001-65 (Sept. 14, 2001). Collier County's local vendor preference gives local bidders an opportunity to match a small percentage reduction in the contract price. Once again, this was part of the specifications, Poole & Kent was on notice, and chose to avail itself to the terms of the ITB by submitting its bids. There is no credible allegation that the County has permitted an unfair advantage or modification to bids after the opening which was the issue in the Harry Pepper case. (c) Poole & Kent Continues to Assert it is a "Local Business," and that the"Local Business" Definition is Ill-Defined, and was Applied in an Arbitrary and Capricious Manner. The issue as to why Poole & Kent was deemed by the County staff not to be a "local business" qualifying for the local vendor preference is addressed more fully above. Staff's determination and recommendation that Poole & Kent is not a local business was not arbitrary and capricious. "A capricious action is one taken without thought or reason or irrationally. An arbitrary decision is one not supported by facts or logic." Agrico Chem. Co. v. Dep't. of Envir. Reg., 365 So. 2d 759, 763 (Fla. 1 st DCA 1978). Arbitrary and capricious has also been defined to include acts taken with improper motive, without reason, or for reasons which are merely pre-textural. City of Sweetwater v. Solo Const. Corp., 823 So. 2d at 798, 802 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002). Further, "a public body has wide discretion in the bidding process and its decision, when based on an honest exercise of the discretion, should not be overturned even if reasonable persons might disagree." Emerald Correctional Mgmt v. Bay County Bd. Of County Commissioners, 955 So. 2d 647, 651 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007); Liberty County v. Baxter's Asphalt & Concrete, Inc., 421 So. 2d 505 (Fla. 1982). An agency's decision based on an honest exercise of this discretion Packet Page-469- 2/12/2013 11 .B. cannot be overturned absent a finding of illegality, fraud, oppression or misconduct. Id. at 507; see also, Sutron Corp. v. Lake Co. Water Authority, 870 So. 2d 930, 932 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). oak In this instance,the County conducted a thorough evaluation of Poole & Kent's claim that it was a local vendor. It spoke to Cape Coral officials, it visited the site of Poole & Kent's stated local address, and it examined Collier and Lee County records. Further, Poole & Kent has neither alleged, nor shown, that Collier County acted illegally, fraudulently or otherwise engaged in misconduct. Therefore, this protest ground must fail. Poole & Kent simply failed to meet the definition of a "local business." First, the "local business" definition set forth in the Purchasing Policy and the respective ITB specifications requires a valid occupational license issued by Collier or Lee Counties for at least a year before the bid submission. There is no indication that Poole & Kent maintains such a license. In addition, a "local business" is required to have a physical business address located within the limits of Collier or Lee Counties from which it operates or performs business. Poole & Kent supplied an address which is registered to the City of Cape Coral. Further, Poole & Kent does not operate or perform business from that location. While it did maintain a storage trailer on that property, storing materials for a job for the City of Cape Coral is not the same as operating or performing business. Further, the City of Cape Coral forbids vendors from conducting other business from the City's property. Based on these facts, the County's determination that Poole &Kent is not a local business is not arbitrary or capricious. In summary, Poole & Kent lacks standing to protest the ITBs at issue since it misrepresented its status as a local vendor, and therefore should be disqualified. Even if Poole & Kent had standing to protest, the grounds raised in its protests are without merit, and to the extent that they challenge the local vendor preference, are time barred as they were not raised as specification protests prior to bid opening. It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners disqualify Poole & Kent from the bidding process for the solicitation at issue, deny the protest appeal and proceed with the award to Mitchell & Stark. This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for approval—SRT.

This letter shall serve as Poole & Kent's Bid Protest In accordance with Collier County's Purchasing Policy procedures. Poole & Kent's principal place of business is 1781 N.W. North River Drive, Miami, Florida, 33125 and its local address is 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, Florida 33993. On August 22, 2012, Poole & Kent was the low responsive and responsible bidder on Solicitation #12-5952, NCWRF Aerated Sludge Holding Tank, No. 3, with a price of $6,307,000. In addition, Poole & Kent's bid contained the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business. On August 28, 2012, Collier County posted the Notice of Recommended Award for the Solicitation, and recommended Mitchell & Stark Construction Company ("Mitchell & Stark") as the Awardee notwithstanding the fact that Mitchell & Stark's price was $6,314,755 or more than $7,000 higher than Poole & Kent's price. Although Poole & Kent was the low responsive, responsible bidder, and submitted the required Affidavit to demonstrate that it meets the definition of a "local business," Poole & Kent was not awarded the Solicitation. Poole & Kent protests Collier County's decision to award the solicitation to the second low bidder, Mitchell & Stark.

ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 2 Although not included in the Notice of Recommended Award, Collier County separately posted the Bid Tabulations for the solicitation which contains the following statement: In accordance with Local Vendor Preference "Right to Match" and Florida Statute 287.087 Mitchell & Stark is given the right to match under the LVP policy of the Board of County Commissioners. Mitchell & Stark is within 10% of the lowest bidder (Poole & Kent), and Mitchell & Stark is willing to match their price of $6,307,000, and has provided a signed Drug Free Workplace affidavit. While neither the Notice of Recommended Award nor the Bid Tabulation states that Collier County has determined that Poole & Kent was not a "local business," Poole & Kent assumes that such a determination must have been made in order for the County to proceed with the "right to match" procedure. However, as discussed below, the failure of the County to make a formal determination of whether Poole & Kent's is a "local business" is arbitrary and capricious. Collier County's determinations that Poole & Kent is not a Iocai business acid that Mitchell & Stark is the lowest responsive, responsible bidder are contrary to Florida law for the following reasons: 1. The Local Vendor Preference in Collier County's Purchasing Policy violates Section 255.20, Florida Statutes, which requires that the contract be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder; 2. The "local price match option" contained in the County's Purchasing Policy violates the law that a bidder is prohibited from changing its bid after the bids have been opened. See, Harry Pepper & Associates, Inc. v. City of Cape Coral, 352 So. 2d 1190 (Fla. 2" DCA 1977); 3. The Local Vendor Preference in the County's Purchasing Policy violates the law that requires that public bidding must be done in accordance with the public bidding statutes to protect, "the public against collusive contracts and prevent favoritism toward contractors by public officials" and, "to secure fair competition upon equal terms to all bidders." See, Liberty County v. Baxter's Asphalt & Concrete, Inc., 421 So.2d 505 (Fla. 1982); 4. The County's presumed determination that Poole & Kent is not a "local business" is contrary to the definition of a local business as set forth in the County's Purchasing Policy; and 10349853.1 Packet Page -476- 2/12/2013 11.B. ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 3 5. The County's presumed determination that Poole & Kent is not a "local business" is based upon unclear, and/or undefined criteria, and thus, any determination that Poole & Kent is not a "local business" would be arbitrary and capricious. See, City of Sweetwater v. Solo Construction Corporation, 823 So.2d 798 (Fla. 3t DCA 2002). I. Poole & Kent is the lowest qualified and responsible bidder. rte) Collier County's Local Vendor Preference is in violation of Section 255.20(1)(d)(1), Florida Statutes, which provides: If the project is to be awarded based on price, the contract must be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder in accordance with the applicable county or municipal ordinance or district resolution and in accordance with the applicable contract documents.... Florida law requires that for competitively bid contracts, the lowest qualified, responsible bidder must be awarded the contract. See, City of Sweetwater v. Solo Construction Corporation, 823 So.2d 798 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002) and Engineering Contractors Association of South Florida, Inc. v. Broward County, 789 So.2d 445 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). While local preferences are not always prohibited under Florida law, Collier County's specific program violates the law because it allows for an entity other than the lowest responsible bidder to be awarded the contract.' Under Collier's Purchasing Policy, the procedure is set forth as: When a qualified and responsive, non-local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local businesses is within ten percent of the price submitted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e.; the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit, an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder.... Based upon the bolded language, it is clear that the County's Purchasing Policy allows for the lowest local bidder to be awarded the project, rather than the actual lowest overall bidder. Such a procedure is not permitted under the competitive bidding requirements of Florida law. 1 For instance, local preferences that allow a local bidder and the lowest bidder to engage In a second round of bidding, known as"best and final offers"are permissible because the actual lowest bidder from the best and final offers is awarded the project. 10348853.1 Packet Page -477- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARN STEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 4 In Drywall Associates, Inc. et al. v. State of Connecticut Dept. of Education & City of Danbury, 1993 Conn. Super. LEXIS 1688 (Super. Ct. of Conn. 1993), the Court held that a local ordinance, which was very similar to the Local Vendor Preference created in the County's Purchasing Policy, was void because it conflicted with state law. The local preference at issue stated: Provided that such city-based resident bidder shall have met all other requirements set forth in this Article, any city-based resident bidder which has submitted a bid not more than ten (10) percent higher than the low bid and has agreed to accept the award of the bid at the amount of the low bid, the lowest responsible bidder shall be that one of the city-based resident bidders which had submitted the lowest bid. Likewise, Conn. Gen. Stat. §10-287(b) is similar to Section 255.20, Florida Statutes. The Connecticut statute provides: All orders and contracts for school building construction receiving state assistance under this chapter shall be awarded to the lowest responsible qualified bidder only after a public invitation to bid... The Court in Drywall Associates, determined that it was undisputed that the low bidders for each contract were responsible and qualified bidders. The Court further determined that it was undisputed that but for the local preference, the low bidders would have been awarded the contracts. The Court therefore concluded that the City of Danbury could not award the contracts to the city-based second low bidders even though they had offered to perform the contracts at the price of the low bidders. Based upon substantially similar facts and law in this matter, Poole & Kent should be awarded the contract as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. II. The "Local Price Match Option" Is Illegal OP. Under Florida law, "a bidder cannot be permitted to change his bid after the bids have been opened, except to cure minor irregularities." Harry Pepper & Associates, Inc._ v. City of Cape Coral, 352 So. 2d 1190 (Fla. 2"d DCA 1977). There can be no dispute that the County allowing Mitchell & Stark to change its bid price to match Poole & Kent's bid is more than the curing of a minor irregularity, and thus impermissible. Although the "local price match option" is contained within the County's Procurement Policy, the County does not have the right to create a policy or procedure that violates Florida law. The rule prohibiting the modification of bids after opening was codified by the Florida legislature in Section 120.57 (3)(f), which provides: 10348853.1 Packet Page-478- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARNSTEIN 86 LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Marklewicz September 6, 2012 Page 5 In a protest to an invitation to bid or request for proposals procurement, no submissions made after the bid or proposal opening which amend or supplement the bid or proposal shall be considered.... In order for the County to prevail in a bid protest, the decision maker would have to consider Mitchell & Stark's statement on the Bid Tabulation sheet, which was signed on August 28, 2012, after the bid opening. Since the only way for Mitchell & Stark to be considered the low bidder is if it is allowed to amend its bid price, Mitchell & Stark cannot be considered the lowest bidder. Ill. The Local Vendor Preference Violates the integrity of Public Contracting The County's Local Vendor Preference program violates Florida law is because it destroys the integrity of public contracting. The Florida Supreme Court in Liberty County v. Baxter's Asphalt & Concrete, Inc., 421 So.2d 505 (1982), citing Wester v. Belote, 138 So. 721 (1931) explained the purpose of public bid statutes as: [they] serve the object of protecting the public against collusive contracts and prevent favoritism toward contractors by public officials and tend to secure fair competition upon equal terms to all bidders, [and] they remove temptation on the part of public officers to seek private gain at the taxpayers' expense, are of highly remedial character, and should receive a construction always which will fully effectuate and advance their true intent and purpose and which will avoid the likelihood of same being circumvented, evaded, or defeated. While Poole & Kent is not suggesting that Collier County has actually colluded with Mitchell & Stark, the purpose of bid statutes is not only to prevent actual collusion, but also to prevent the appearance of impropriety. Harry Pepper & Associates, Inc. v. City of Cape Coral, 352 So.2d 1190 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1977). As explained in City of Sweetwater v. Solo Construction Corn,, 823 So.2d 798 (Fla. 3rd DCA 2002), citing Marriott Corp. v. Metro Dade County, 383 So.2d 662 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1980): The system [competitive bidding statutes] confers upon both the contractor and the public authority reciprocal benefits, and confers upon them reciprocal obligations. The bidder is assured fair consideration of his offer, and is guaranteed the contract if his is the lowest and best bid received. The principal benefit to the public authority is the opportunity of purchasing the goods and services required of it at the best price obtainable. Under this system, the public authority may not arbitrarily or 10348853,1 Packet Page-479- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewlcz September 6, 2012 Page 6 capriciously discriminate between bidders, or make the bid based upon personal preference. Furthermore, the County's Local Vender Preference program gives local bidders an unfair advantage in the bidding process, and will lead to the County ultimately paying more for goods and services than it would otherwise have to as competition in the future Is reduced. While in this case the County will not have to pay more than what Poole & Kent submitted as the low bid, in the future, the County will not have the benefit of non-local vendors bidding similar projects because the likelihood of them actually receiving an award is greatly reduced. Under the county's local preference program, the lowest local bidder gets the opportunity to find out what every other bidder's price was at the bid opening, and then decide whether or not it wants to match the low bidder's price. This allows a local bidder to submit a higher price in the hopes that it will still be the low bidder, but with the assurance that even if it is not the low bidder, it will have the opportunity to lower its price if it so chooses and be awarded the project. Allowing a local vendor to have a second chance to lower its bid price creates an unfair bidding advantage that is illegal under Florida law. See, E.M. Watkins & Co. v. Board of Regents, 414 So.2d 583 (Fla. 1 st DCA 1982)(Allowing a contractor to bid shop after bid opening Is prohibited because it would create an unfair bidding advantage); Harry Pepper & Associates, Inc. v. City of Cape Coral, 352 So.2d 1190 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1977)(Contractor could not be awarded contract based upon nonconforming bid because, "[ajfter everyone else's bids were opened, Gulf was in a position to decide whether it wanted the job bad enough to incur the additional expense of supplying conforming pumps"). Because of such unfairness, non-local bidders have stopped bidding to Collier County because it is costly to prepare a bid, and the likelihood of actually being awarded a project has been greatly reduced with the current local preference program in effect. Had Poole & Kent known that it would not be considered a local business, it would not have wasted its time and money preparing bids, and will not do so in the future.2 IV. Poole & Kent is a "local business" Collier County's Purchasing Policy defines a "local business" as one that has a valid occupational license, and a physical business address located within Collier County from which the vendor operates or performs business. In addition, the Purchasing Policy allows for reciprocity with vendors from Lee County. 2 Poole&Kent has submitted at least two other bids this year to Collier County on other solicitations and included the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business. Collier County has not previously advised Poole&Kent that it did not consider Poole&Kent to be a non-local business. 10348853.1 Packet Page-480- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 7 Poole & Kent included in its sealed bid, a copy of its Lee County Local Business Tax Receipt, along with copies of its Collier County Qualifier Certifications authorizing Poole & Kent to act as a General Contractor, Mechanical Contractor and Electrical Contractor. Poole & Kent also included Certificates of Competency issued by the City of Cape Coral authorizing Poole & Kent to act as a General Contractor, Mechanical Contractor and Electrical Contractor. Copies of the above described licenses are attached hereto. As set forth in Poole & Kent's Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business, Poole & Kent's physical business address In Lee County is 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, FL 33993.3 Poole & Kent set up an office at that address in March of 2007, and has been operating its business in Lee and Collier County from that location ever since. Prior to that time, Poole & Kent was working in Lee and Collier County at other locations. Poole & Kent is currently performing work for the City of Naples. Based upon these two objective standards from the County's Purchasing Policy, the County should have determined that Poole & Kent Is a "local business". The County's refusal to find that Poole & Kent is a "local business," the County's failure to make a formal determination of whether Poole & Kent is a "local business," as well as the County's failure to notify Poole & Kent of its determination are all arbitrary and capricious acts. In addition to the two above described objective standards for determining whether a vendor is a "local business", the County's Purchasing Policy sets forth an ill- defined standard that a vendor must contribute to the, "economic development and well- being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way," in order to be considered as a "local business." The County's Purchasing Policy then lists a few items, as set forth below, that may be used to determine whether a vendor contributes to Collier County. In a good faith attempt to meet this undefined standard, Poole & Kent filled out the form Affidavit provided by the County, and noted that it has employed a total of 128 individuals for work in either Collier or Lee County since 2006, and that of those employees, 73 of them resided in either Collier or Lee County. In addition, although there was no space for Poole & Kent to provide additional information on the Affidavit, if the County had conducted a fair inquiry into Poole & Kent's contributions to Collier and Lee County's economic development, it should also have considered that Poole & Kent hired many local subcontractors from Lee and Collier County. Based upon the information provided by Poole & Kent in the Affidavit and in its bid, Poole & Kent meets the definition of a "local business" and therefore, Mitchell & Stark should not have been given the opportunity to match Poole & Kent's low bid. 3 A copy of the Affidavit Is attached hereto. 10348853.1 Packet Page-481- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 8 V. The "Local Business" definition is ill-defined, and was applied in an arbitrary and capricious manner After the County decided to recommend the award to Mitchell & Stark, Poole & Kent was informed by an employee of the County that the County determines whether a vendor is a "local business" based upon several criteria, including: 1) whether the vendor has a permanent address In Collier County, 2)whether the vendor pays taxes in Collier County, 3) whether the vendor owns or leases property in Collier County; and 4) the business address from which the bid was submitted. As noted above, Poole & Kent has a permanent address in Lee County, as it has been at the same location for more than five (5) years. Similarly, Poole & Kent pays the Local Business Tax Receipt in Lee County. Poole & Kent uses the personnel from Its Lee County office to not only perform work on existing projects, but also to work on bids for future work. For instance, on this solicitation, employees from the Lee County office were used to assist in the bid preparation, to conduct pre-bid investigations, to conduct site investigation, and to formulate the planned construction techniques for this project. Admittedly, Poole & Kent does not own or lease property in Collier or Lee County. However, the definition of a "local business" does not make the owning or leasing of property mandatory. Instead, the definition of "local business" includes the following provision: This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. The above provision is too vague for a vendor to know what is required of it in order to meet the County's definition. First, the provision uses the term "may", which means that compliance is optional, not mandatory. Second, the meaning of the phrase "support and increase to the County's tax base" is unclear. The term tax base can refer to sales taxes, the local business tax receipt, or as the County now apparently interprets the term, property taxes. The vagueness of the County's Purchasing Policy, as well as the way in which it was applied, renders the decision by the County that Poole & Kent was not a local business arbitrary and capricious. Poole & Kent was told that its physical address in Lee County was not accepted because the address is not located in an office park or store front. However, Collier County's Purchasing Policy does not require that the physical address be in such a locale, and therefore, it is improper for Collier County to impose such a requirement without disclosing it in the Purchasing Policy. 10348853.1 Packet Page -482- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 9 In City of Sweetwater v. Solo Construction Corp., 823 So.2d 798 (Fla. 3`d DCA 2002), the Court held, "[w]hile a public authority has wide discretion in award of contracts for public works on competitive bids, such discretion must be exercised based upon clearly defined criteria, and may not be exercised arbitrarily or capriciously." The Court later concluded, the City decision to award the contract to United Engineering Corporation was arbitrary and capricious and based upon criteria that were neither included in the bid documents nor clearly defined in any manner whatsoever. Id., at 802. Since the criteria for determining whether a vendor is a local business are not clearly defined, and the manner in which those criteria are undefined, the County cannot apply unclear standards in an unclear manner to determine whether Poole & Kent is a local business. The Court in City of Sweetwater concluded that the City's attempt to award the contract to United Engineering as the "most responsible bidder" was also in violation of Section 255.20, Florida Statutes. Collier County's attempt to award the contract to Mitchell & Stark based upon the Local Vendor Preference, where It has determined that Mitchell & Stark is "more local" than Poole & Kent, is analogous to the City of Sweetwater's attempt to determine that United Engineering was the "most responsible." Therefore, Collier County's actions are arbitrary and capricious, and must be reversed. For the foregoing reasons, Poole & Kent requests that Collier County take the following actions: A. Withdraw the Notice of Recommended Award for Solicitation # 12-5952; and B. Determine that Poole & Kent is a local business in accordance with the terms of the Purchasing Policy; or in the alternative C. Determine that the Local Preference does not apply to this Solicitation, in accordance with Section XI (3) of the Purchasing Policy; or in the alternative D. Determine that the Local Vendor Preference is illegal and void; and E. Determine that Poole & Kent is the lowest responsible, responsive bidder; and 10348853.1 Packet Page -483- 2/12/2013 11 .B. ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 6, 2012 Page 10 F. Issue a revised Notice of Recommended Award, naming Poole & Kent as the Awardee. Respectfully submitted, Stuart H.

Coln`er Covrnty Adn-inistrative Services D;visbn Purchasing , September 13, 2012 Stuart Sakwa Arnstein & Lehr LLP 515 North Flagler Drive Suite 600 West Palm Beach 33401 Telephone: 561-650-8484 FAX: 561-655-5551 Email: shsakwa(a�arnstrin.com RE: Protest Decision Regarding Solicitation 12-5952 NCWRF Aerated Sludge Holding Tank, # 3 Dear Mr. Sakwa: I am writing in response to your formal protest letter of September 6, 2012, filed on behalf of Poole & Kent Company of Florida ("Poole & Kent") pertaining to the recommended award of the referenced Solicitation. The following is a summary of each of the issues raised in your protest. 1. Poole & Kent's bid offer to the County was the low responsive and responsible bidder, and morth consistent with the solicitation document, County policy and Florida Statute 255.20 (1) (d) (1) should be awarded the contract: "If the project: Is to be awarded based on price, the contract must be awarded to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder in accordance with the applicable county or municipal ordinance or district resolution and in accordance with the applicable contract documents." 2. The County's "local price match option" is illegal and is contradictory to Florida Statute 120.57 (3) (F) which states: "In a protest to an invitation to bid or request for proposals procurement, no submissions made after the bid or proposal opening which amend or supplement the bid or proposal shall be considered." Mitchell and Stark Construction Company ("Mitchell & Stark") was afforded the opportunity to modify its price six (6) days after (8/28/12) the bid opening (8/22/12). 3. The County's Local Vendor Preference Policy violates the integrity of public contracting in that it may be perceived as one bidder gaining an unfair advantage over another bidder and it gives local bidders an unfair advantage in the bidding process by affording them an opportunity to change their price in the "match" process. Public bidding laws are in place to prevent favoritism toward contractors by public officials and to secure fair competition. Furthermore, the use of this policy may ultimately raise the costs for future projects. The practice of allowing local bidders to"match" non-local bidders' prices will ultimately lead to the discontinuation of non-local bidders submitting prices on Collier County jobs. Submitting bids is a timely and costly process; Poole & Kent would not have tendered an offer if they had known they would not be considered a local vendor. 4. Poole & Kent believes that under the County's current Local Vendor Preference Policy that it is a local vendor as it has a valid occupational license and a physical business address within Collier or Lee County. Packet Page-496- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Furthermore, Poole & Kent believes that the application of the Local Vendor Preference Policy was applied in an arbitrary and capricious manner. In response, I have carefully reviewed all of the issues raised in your protest considered each allegation, and reviewed the facts pertaining to each allegation in great detail. Further, I have reviewed additional documentation regarding the submission of the notarized Affidavit for Claiming Local Vendor Preference presented by Poole & Kent in the bid submission for the above referenced solicitation. The Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business submitted by Poole and Kent appears to contain false information intended to establish your client as a "local vendor" because it identifies a local address of 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, FL 33993, which doesn't and hasn't had any type of structure on site, either permanently affixed or a temporary construction trailer, from which to conduct business for a very long time. According to the Lee County property records; City of Cape Coral Utilities department aerial records and pictures obtained from 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012; and, in conversation with project manager Thomas Machinski (MWH Global) who was responsible for the project at this location, the project "closed out" in April 2010; Poole and Kent was a subcontractor to MWH Global and occupied a construction trailer at that site. This trailer was moved from this location prior to February 2011. Based upon all of those facts, it is my opinion that there was no presence of a Poole & Kent Office at 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, FL 33993 at the time the above mentioned bid submission was turned in, nor was there one at that location one year prior to the date of the bid submission. Accordingly, it is the decision of this office to disqualify Poole & Kent's bid submission for submitting false information in its notarized Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business, and to direct staff to move forward with award for this solicitation. This decision to disqualify Poole & Kent's bid renders all your remaining arguments regarding the County's Local Vendor Policy as moot. This determination is tentatively scheduled to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners on October 9, 2012. Under Section XVIII.0 of the County's purchasing policy, the decision of the Purchasing Director shall be considered final and conclusive unless the protestor delivers a subsequent written objection to my attention within two (2) business days from the date of receipt of this decision.

MarkiewiczJoanne From: Thomas Machinski [Thomas.G.Machinski @us.mwhglobal.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 5:10 PM To: MarkiewiczJoanne Subject: Poole& Kent Cape Coral Office Trailers Joanne, It was a pleasure chatting with you today. I did some research on your query concerning P&K's project office trailers located at our Cape Coral Program project sites. The last office trailer they had in Cape Coral was at the North Cape RO WTP site, and it was removed in April of 2010. They do have personnel that live in the area,and I cannot say for certain that they do not have an office in the area, however,they no longer have an office trailer at any of the Cape Coral project sites(Everest WRF,SW WRF, or North Cape RO WTP). Please feel free to contact me at 239-825-0665 (my cell phone)with any additional questions.

The last office trailer they had in Cape Coral was at the North Cape RO WTP site, and it was removed in April of 2010. They do have personnel that live in the area,and I cannot say for certain that they do not have an office in the area, however,they no longer have an office trailer at any of the Cape Coral project sites(Everest WRF,SW WRF, or North Cape RO WTP).

Please be advised that your letter was not received until September 17, 2012, because the e-mail address listed on the letter contains a misspelling. In your decision letter, you indicate that rather than address Poole & Kent Company of Florida's (Poole & Kent's) substantive challenge to the County's Local Vendor Preference, you have determined that Poole & Kent should be disqualified because its Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business, "appears to contain false information." You then identify the basis for your conclusion as Lee County property records, aerial photographs and records, and the statement of an employee from MWH Global. It is improper for the County to make a determination that Poole & Kent should be disqualified based upon appearances, rather than on actual facts. While you listed a few items that make it "appear" as if Poole & Kent does not have a physical business address, you omitted other facts that the County was actually aware of that demonstrate that Poole & Kent actually has a physical business address in Lee County.

ARNSTEIN&LEHR LLP Ms. Joanne Markiewicz September 19, 2012 mow Page 2 Poole & Kent does not dispute that the Lee County property records do not reflect the existence of its trailer on the City of Cape Coral's property. However, as noted in its Bid Protest Letter, the payment of property taxes is not a requirement of the Local Vendor Preference policy, and is not evidence of whether Poole & Kent has a physical business address. As to the aerial photographs, and Google images, the information you provided in unintelligible due to the poor copying quality. While Poole & Kent does not dispute that its large office trailer was removed from 1200 Kismet Parkway West, Cape Coral, FL 33993; Poole & Kent still has another trailer at this location from which it performs its on-going business in Lee County, including the performance of warranty work for the City of Cape Coral Utility Department. With regards to your reliance on Mr. Machinski's statement, such "evidence" it is double hearsay. First, the County is relying on an unsworn statement from Mr. Machinski. Second, Mr. Machinski's e-mail to you indicates that he does not have personal knowledge of whether Poole & Kent has a trailer on site, as he says that he, "did some research" to answer your question. Poole & Kent was informed by an employee at the City of Cape Coral that last week someone from Collier County went to the City of Cape Coral project site, spoke with the employee of the City of Cape Coral about Poole & Kent's performance of work, and took photographs of Poole & Kent's existing trailer at the 1200 Kismet Parkway West address. Thus, it appears that the County is ignoring direct evidence of the existence of Poole & Kent's physical address that it obtained though personal observation, and is instead relying upon the "appearance" of a lack of a physical address to justify its actions. Pursuant to Section XIX.F of the County's purchasing policy, this letter shall serve as Poole & Kent's written objection to your decision. Furthermore, in accordance with Section XIX.G of the County's purchasing policy, Poole & Kent requests that the County Manager appoint an independent hearing officer to review the facts and conduct a hearing into Poole & Kent's bid protest.

Local Vendor Preference Policy XI. Procedure to Provide Preference to Local Businesses in County Contracts. Except where otherwise provided by federal or state law or other funding source restrictions or as otherwise set forth in the purchasing policy, purchases of commodities and services shall give preference to local businesses in the following manner: (1) "Local Business"defined Local business means the vendor has a valid occupational license issued by Collier County at least one year prior to bid or proposal submission to do business within Collier County that authorizes the business to provide the commodities or services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor operates or performs business. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not by used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year. (2) Preference in purchase of commodities and services by means of competitive bid, request for proposals, qualifications or other submittals and competitive negotiation and selection. Under any such applicable solicitation, bidders/proposers desiring to receive local preference will be invited and required to affirmatively state and provide documentation as set forth in the solicitation in support of their status as a local business. Any bidder/proposer who fails to submit sufficient documentation with their bid/proposal offer shall not be granted local preference consideration for the purposes of that specific contract award. Except where federal or state law, or any other funding source, mandates to the contrary, Collier County and its agencies and instrumentalities, will give preference to local businesses in the following manner: (a) Competitive bid (local price match option). Each formal competitive bid solicitation shall clearly identify how the price order of the bids received will be evaluated and determined. When a qualified and responsive, non-local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local businesses is within ten percent of the price submitted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e.; the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit, an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non-local bidder and the lowest local bidder are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of Section 287.087, F.S. If the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of 287.087, F.S., the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest local bidder to submit a matching offer to the Purchasing Department which shall be submitted to the Purchasing Department within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local bidder. If the lowest local bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non-local bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive bidder. If the lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Section 287.087, F.S. and the lowest non-local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference state law. Packet Page-546- 2/12/2013 11 .B. (b) Request for proposals, qualifications or other submittals and competitive negotiation and selection. For all purchases of commodities and services procured through the Competitive Proposals (Section VI) or Competitive Selection and Negotiation (Section VIII) methods not otherwise exempt from this local preference section, the RFP solicitation shall include a weighted criterion for local preference that equals 10 percent of the total points in the evaluation criteria published in the solicitation. Purchases of professional services as defined and identified under subsection VII.B.2 (which are subject to Section 287.055, F.S.) and subsection VII.B.3 (which are subject to Section 11.45, F.S.) shall not be subject to this local preference section. (3) Waiver of the application of local preference. The application of Local Preference to a particular purchase or contract for which the Board of County Commissioners is the awarding authority may be waived upon approval of the Board of County Commissioners. (4) Comparison of qualifications. The preferences established herein in no way prohibit the right of the Board of County Commissioners to compare quality of materials proposed for purchase and compare qualifications, character, responsibility and fitness of all persons, firms or corporations submitting bids or proposals. Further, the preferences established herein in no way prohibit the right of the County Commission from giving any other preference permitted by law instead of the preferences granted herein. (5) Reciprocity. In the event Lee County, or any other Florida county or municipality ("local government") deemed appropriate by the Collier County Board of Commissioners, extends preferences to local businesses, Collier County may enter into an interlocal agreement with such local government wherein the preferences of this section may be extended and made available to vendors that have a valid occupational license issued by that specific local government to do business in that local government that authorizes the vendor to provide the commodities and services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of that local government. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of the said local government whichever is applicable, in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to that local government's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business located within the limits of that local government. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. In no event shall the amount of the preference accorded other local government firms exceed the amount of preference that such local government extends to Collier County firms competing for its contracts. (6) Purview and administration of this policy. This policy shall apply to all departments and units under the direct purview of the Board of County Commissioners. The Purchasing Department shall be responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining administrative procedures in support of this policy. (7) Subsequent Review and Sunset Provision. Pursuant to the adopting resolution, this local preference section is being added to the purchasing policy in support of the local economy during difficult economic times in Collier County. On or about one year of the effective date, the Purchasing Department will provide the Board with an update of the results and impacts to date of this local preference policy. Within two years of the effective date, the Board shall receive a similar report from the Purchasing Department and shall determine whether to continue or modify this policy. Should the Board not elect to continue the local preference policy, it will expire at that time. Packet Page-547- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Agenda (tern No. 1 UU March 9, 2010 Page 1 of 57 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to award a construction contract in the amount of 52,904,563.00 for the North County Regional Water Treatment Plant "Finished Water Quality and Odor Control Compliance Project" to Cardinal Contractors, Inc., Bid #10-5423, Project Number 71002. OBJECTIVE: The public purpose is to meet operational and reliability needs, to meet the demand for potable water, and to stay in compliance with all regulatory requirements at the North County Regional Water Treatment Plant (NCRWTP). CONSIDERATION: On June 24, 2008, Agenda Item 10G, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted the 2008 Water Master Plan Update that identified the requirement for improving finished water quality and odor control at the NCRWTP. The proposed scope of work is consistent with the 2008 Water Master Plan Update, Project 71002, "NCRWTP High Total Dissolved Solids Reverse Osmosis Design, Construction, and Supply," Section 8, Table 8-2, page 1 of 5, line 26. The design for the entire NCRWTP 2-Million Gallons per Day (MGD) Reverse Osmosis Program is complete; however, the water department intends to implement the program in two phases: 1. NCRWTP Finished Water Quality and Odor Control Compliance Project — Replacement of the degasifier system and the addition of an odor control system in fiscal year 2010, to improve the quality of finished water, the efficiency of the water treatment processes, and the efficiency of controlling odors. 2. NCRWTP Raw Water Quality Compliance Project — Future construction of 2-MGD of reverse osmosis capacity to treat groundwater that has changed in quality (high total dissolved solids) making four high production wells unusable, significantly reducing the production capacity of the wellfield. Continued eastward movement of the plume of groundwater high in total dissolved solids has the potential to negatively impact additional wells, further reducing the production of the wellfield. This phase is being deferred and will be implemented at an event-driven later date. Finished water quality at the NCRWTP is very difficult and costly to maintain. Turbidity and nitrification are difficult to control. Turbidity and nitrification events tend to cause rapid degradation of chlorine, which in turn threatens the ability to remain in compliance with water quality, disinfection, and pH levels. Maintaining all of these items is critical for sustaining compliance in potable water quality, thereby ensuring public health. During nitrification events, costly, large-scale system flushing and temporary increases in the amount of very expensive disinfection chemicals are utilized. While the Water-Sewer District has not had any such event lead to a requirement for a public notification, there is significant risk of not complying with regulations until the degasification equipment is upgraded. In addition to improving water quality, the improved degasification process will provide an annual savings in chemicals and labor costs of approximately $450,000. Reference the attached Business Case for further details. Packet Page-548- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Agenda item NO. 1 uu March 9, 2010 Executive Summary Page 2 of 57 NCRWTP Finished Water Quality and Odor Control Compliance,Project 71002 Page 2 Additional savings will be realized by the county purchasing the major equipment directly, thereby avoiding sales tax. The existing odor control system is not a direct public health concern; however, the system is marginal and occasionally odor complaints are received from residents in the area surrounding the plant. The construction of four new degasifier towers and one new odor control scrubber will ensure that the NCRWTP remains in compliance with the Public Utilities Division's "good neighbor" policy of generating no offsite odors. Deferring the Raw Water Quality Project (Phase 2 of the original program) does represent an operational risk; without the 2-MGD of high pressure reverse osmosis equipment, there is the potential for saltwater to migrate into the wells that are currently used, rendering them unusable. However, the risk is expected to be manageable in the short term. Long term, the project wellfield consultant, Camp Dresser & McKee, predicts that the migration of saltwater into the aquifer will eventually occur, and it will be necessary to mitigate this degradation of the water supply by constructing the additional 2-MGD of reverse osmosis capacity that will use the four wells that are currently unusable as the raw water source for the project. Each existing well represents a capital investment of approximately $1,000,000; Phase 2 of the project will recover the lost capital investment in infrastructure of the currently unusable four wells, and will protect the capital investment that we have in other potentially impacted wells in the wellfield. Currently, this requirement, defined as Phase 2, is not programmed until after 2015, unless there is an earlier change in wellfield water quality conditions. Value engineering activities were conducted at the 60 and 90 percent design completion milestones. These reviews identified key cost-drivers, generated alternatives through the use of creative thinking, and resulted in filling the need reliably at the lowest life-cycle cost without sacrificing project requirements for safety, quality, operations, maintenance, and environmental protection. Bid #10-5423 was advertised on December 30, 2009; 1,136 notices were mailed and 165 prospective bidders downloaded plans and specifications. On February 5, 2010, sealed bids for the construction of this project were opened. Eight bids were received and are summarized in the following table: BIDDER BID Cardinal Contractors, Inc. $2,904,563.00 Mitchell and Stark Construction Co., Inc. $3,116,416.00 TLC Diversified $3,308,350.00 John Reynolds and Sons $3,347,332.00 John J.

IVLI March 9, 2010 Executive Summary Page 3 of 57 NCRWTP Finished Water Quality and Odor Control Compliance,Project 71002 Page 3 Section XiX of the Collier County Purchasing Policy, has a provision for Local Vendor Preference (LVP). Purchasing Staff has extended a right to match the offer to Mitchell and Stark Construction Co., Inc., a local contractor who has agreed to match the overall low bid of $2,904,563.00. Shortly after receiving Mitchell & Stark's matching offer, staff was contacted by the apparent lowest bidder, Cardinal Contractors, Inc., which maintains that it qualifies for the local vendor preference. Cardinal Contractors had filed the required LVP affidavit with its bid, but purchasing staff was initially unable to verify whether Cardinal Contractors has a local address or a Collier County occupational license, both of which are pre-requisites for qualifying as "local" under the LVP policy. Subsequently, staff met with Cardinal Contractors and learned that Cardinal Contractors has been the prime contractor on a wastewater plant expansion project for the City of Marco Island and has had an office trailer on the construction site for nearly two years. They anticipate remaining on site for at least another full year. Further, Cardinal Contractors provided evidence of holding Collier County occupational licenses in the past, but stated that they were told by the Collier County Tax Collector's Office in recent years that they no longer needed an occupational license in Collier County due to changes in state law. Additionally, Cardinal Contractors stated on their LVP affidavit that they presently have twenty employees who are Collier County residents. The facts regarding Cardinal Contractors in this matter are strikingly similar to those pertaining ASASt to the award of ITB 08-5106 in September 2008. In that instance, Astaldi Construction Corporation was the apparent low bidder. Like Cardinal Contractors, Astaldi did not have a current occupational license, despite efforts to obtain one through the Tax Collector's Office; Astaldi did not have a traditional permanent local address; and, Astaldi had a construction office on a job site within Collier County and had been there for several months prior to bidding the new contract. As with Cardinal Contractors, Astaldi employed several Collier County residents. Staff brought the Astaldi situation to the Board on September 9, 2008, and after reviewing the facts in that situation, the Board deemed Astaldi Construction Corporation to be "local" under the LVP policy and subsequently awarded Astaldi the pending contract. Based on that action and the similarity of the facts in this case, staff is recommending that the offer from Mitchell & Stark to match Cardinal Contractors's bid offer be declined and that the Board award ITB 10- 5423 to Cardinal Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $2,904,563.00. This amount is 26-percent less than the $3,933,000.00 revised engineer's estimate provided by the Engineer of Record, HDR Engineers, Inc. (A letter of recommendation from the Engineer of Record is attached.) The recommended award price includes all bid items except Item 2 which will be procured separately. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in and is consistent with the FY10 Capital Budget approved by the Board on September 24, 2009. The source of funding is the Water User Fee Fund (412).

CONCISE STATEMENT OF THE ULTIMATE FACTS ALLEGED AND OF ANY RELEVANT RULES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, AND CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS ENTITLING THE PROTESTING PARTY TO RELIEF. On December 30, 2009, Collier County Bid #10-5423 was advertised, (see Exhibit "A", Bid Packet). On February 5, 2010, eight (8) sealed bids for the construction of the project were received and opened. As outlined in the Executive Summary for the February 23, 2010 County Commission Agenda (see Exhibit "B") the eight bids are summarized as follows: BIDDER BID Cardinal Contractors, Inc. $2,904,563.00 Mitchell and Stark Construction Co., Inc. $3,116,416.00 TCL Diversified $3,308,350.00 John Reynolds and Sons $3,347,332.00 • John J. Kirklin $3,350,432.00 - 2 - Packet Page-556- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Douglas N. Higgins, Inc. $3,365,872.00 4 Westra Construction $4,016.332.00 AH Salace Construction Group $4,054,000.00 M&S is the lowest Local Business bidder. The bid of M&S is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and that of Cardinal as Exhibit "D". Collier County has adopted a Purchasing Policy (see Exhibit"E"). The Purchasing Policy provides in Section VI that award of Bid Contract shall be made by the Board to the lowest, qualified and responsive bidder, except where otherwise provided for in this policy or unless an exception is granted by the Board (see p. 4 of"Exhibit"E"). Section XI of the Purchasing Policy has a "Procedure to Provide Preference to Local Businesses in County Contracts". (see pp. 11-13, of Exhibit "E")1 Applying the LVP policy and provisions of Section XI of the Purchasing Policy, Collier County extended to the Local Business M&S a right to match the overall low bid of$2,904,563.00 submitted by the non- • local business Cardinal. On February 8, 2010 M&S, as a qualified and responsive Local Business, and as the lowest local bidder, provided its written offer to Collier County that fully matched the price offered by Cardinal, i.e. M&S fully matched the lowest bid from the lowest non-local bidder Cardinal.(the "Match", see Exhibit "F") After M&S agreed to match the overall low bid of$2,904,563.00, Collier County staff contacted Cardinal. Thereafter, according to the Executive Summary, County staff, unknown to M&S, subsequently met • • 1 This"Local Business Preference" is at times also referred to by Collier County as"Local Vendor Preference'and will be referred to as LVP or LVP policy throughout. - 3 - Packet Page -557- 2/12/2013 11 .B. with Cardinale and Cardinal has apparently asserted to County staff that Cardinal has been the prime contractor on a wastewater plant expansion project for the City of Marco island and had an office trailer on the construction site for nearly two years. According to the Executive Summary, Cardinal apparently also asserted to County staff that Cardinal anticipated remaining on site for at least another full year. County staff also stated that Cardinal provided evidence of holding Collier County occupational licenses in the past (but asserted that they were told by the Collier County Tax Collector's Office in recent years that they no longer needed an occupational license in Collier County due to changes in state law). The Collier County Tax Collector's website clearly states that: "Any business operating anywhere in Collier County (even inside city limits of Naples, Marco Island, Everglades City) must have a county business tax receipt." (see Exhibit"G") • On February 17, 2010, nine (9) days after M&S agreed to match the overall low bid of$2,904,563.00, M&S was contacted by Steve Carnell, the Purchasing Director for Collier County. In that conversation, Mr. Camell advised Mr. Brian Penner, CEO of M&S, that Cardinal told County staff that Cardinal had a Collier County occupational Iicense3 three years ago but has not had one the last two years asserting that the Tax Collector told Cardinal they did not need one. As outlined below, an online search of the Collier County Tax Collector's data as to occupational licenses or Local Business Tax Receipt reflects that Cardinal did not hold or possess any occupational license or Local Business Tax Receipt in Collier County between 2005 and today. In order for someone to obtain a 2 Believed to have occurred on February 11, 2010. 3 By virtue of legislative changes effective January 1, 2007,"occupational license"was amended to read "Local Business Tax Receipt". Section 205.022, F.S. See Exhibit"H".Throughout this protest the terms"occupational license" and "Local Business Tax Receipt" may be used interchangeably. This change in terminology did not change the obligation to pay the"Local business tax"and obtain the Local Business Tax Receipt. Amok -4 - Packet Page-558- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Collier County Local Business Tax Receipt, they must pay a "Local business tax". On February 18, 2010, Mr. Carneli told Mr. Penner that County staff was now changing its position and recommendation and recommending that non-local bidder Cardinal be awarded the bid and the contract. On February 18, 2010, M&S timely filed its written Notice of Intent to Protest with the Collier County Purchasing Director. (se Exhibit"I") This Formal Written Protest by M&S has been timely filed with the Purchasing Director in conformance with the County's Purchasing Policy relating to protest of bid or proposed award. 4 CARDINAL IS NOT A "LOCAL BUSINESS" "Local Business" is defined in Section XI(1) of the Purchasing Policy. That section and the LVP policy are very clear and unequivocal and state that the Local Business vendor must possess a Collier County "occupational license" at least one year prior to bid submission and a physical business address located within Collier County from which the vendor operates or performs business, In addition, the LVP Policy states that "...a vendor shall not be considered a 'local business' unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measureable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County.". 4 It is labeled as Section XIX in the complete Purchasing Policy document online, but labeled as Section XVIII in a"stand alone"online document. There are minor differences in content, not pertinent here. - 5 - Packet Page-559- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Section XI (2)(a), of the Purchasing Policy, at page 12, provides the • following mandatory language: If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local bidder. (emphasis added) A search as recently as February 23, 2010 of the Collier County Tax Collector's website reveals that Cardinal does not currently hold or possess a Collier County occupational license. Further, as evidenced by a search of the Collier County Tax Collector's website using the search term "Cardinal", Cardinal has not held or possessed a Collier County occupational license between the years 2005 and today (see composite Exhibit"J"). Based upon such evidence, since at least 2005, Cardinal has not paid the local Collier County business tax and has not held or possessed a Collier County occupational • license or Collier County Business Tax Receipt. oak In its bid, Cardinal did not list any physical address in Collier County. The corporate headquarters and main business address of Cardinal is in Sarasota County. The "Place of Business" of Cardinal is in Sarasota County ( see Cardinal bid, first page). The listed major Subcontractor of Cardinal is from Dundee, Florida, in Polk County (see page GC-P-4 of Cardinal bid). A search of the Collier County Tax Collector's website for"Cardinal Contractors" and "Cardinal Contractors, Inc." relating to tangible personal property taxes imposed on fixtures, furniture, equipment and supplies in Collier County from the year 2003 to the current year yielded no results, reflecting that Cardinal has not paid any tangible personal property taxes on fixtures, furniture, equipment and supplies in Collier County from 2003 to the current year. -6 - Packet Page -560- 2/12/2013 11 .B. As Cardinal has not paid any Collier County Business Tax since at least 2005; and, as there is no evidence it has generated any real estate taxes in Collier County; and, as Cardinal has not paid any tangible personal property taxes in Collier County from at least 2003 to the • present, Cardinal has not contributed to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. Cardinal does not support, and has provided no increase to, the County's tax base. Cardinal is not a "Local Business" under the Collier County Purchasing Policy. M&S IS A"LOCAL BUSINESS" M&S currently hold and possesses multiple (i.e. 8) Collier County occupational licenses and has held no less than seven (7) Collier County occupational licenses or Collier County Business Tax Receipts from 2005 to the present. (see composite Exhibit"K") In addition to the fact that M&S has sixty (60) employees living in Collier County, in its bid M&S clearly listed its physical address in Collier County, i.e. 6001 Shirley Street The corporate headquarters and main business address of M&S is in Collier County. The "Place of Business" of M&S is in Collier County ( see M&S bid, first page) Each of the eight (8) M&S Collier County Business Tax Receipts provide a physical address in Collier County, Florida, at 6001 Shirley Street. The property and improvements at 6001 Shirley Street, the corporate headquarters of M&S, consists of an approximately 1.36 acre parcel, with a two story, 10,900 square foot building ( see Exhibit "L"). This property and its improvements have generated over$95,000.00 in real - 7- Packet Page -561- 2/12/2013 11 .B. oak estate taxes and assessments in Collier County since 2004 (see Exhibit 41111 um's) k A search of the Collier County Tax Collector's website for "Mitchell & Stark" relating to tangible personal property taxes imposed on fixtures, furniture, equipment and supplies in Collier County from the year 2003 to the current year reflects that M&S has paid $959,750.93 in tangible personal property taxes imposed on fixtures, furniture, equipment and supplies in Collier County since 2003. (see Exhibit "N") M&S is a "Local Business " under the Collier County Purchasing Policy. M&S is the lowest local bidder on this project. M&S submitted an offer that fully matched the lowest bid from the lowest non-local bidder, Cardinal. ONCE M&S MATCHED THE OVERALL LOW BID COLLIER COUNTY MUST AWARD THE BID AND CONTRACT TO M&S AND COLLIER COUNTY'S DETERMINATION THAT CARDINAL IS A"LOCAL BUSINESS"WAS ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS AND AN ABUSE OF DISCRETION It is clear that a local government must adhere to a defined procurement process in making contract awards. The failure of an agency to follow its own bid specifications and procedures is an arbitrary and capricious act. see Coin Laundry Equip. Co. v. Univ. of West FL, 1996 WL 1060244 (1996) While a public authority generally has wide discretion in the award of public work contracts the discretion cannot be arbitrary or capricious. City of Miami Beach v. Klinger, 179 So.2d 864. The award of a contract in a procurement is invalid if it is arbitrary or capricious. see Liberty County v. Baxter's Asphalt& Concrete, lnc. 421 So.2d.505 (FIa.1982); City of - 8 - Packet Page-562- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Sweetwater v. Solo Construction Corporation, 823 So.2d 798 (Fla.3'd DCA • 2002). Where discretion is vested in a public agency with respect to letting public contracts on a competitive basis, the discretion must be exercised based upon clearly defined criteria and may not be exercised arbitrarily or capriciously. See City of Sweetwater, supra The discretion must be based upon facts reasonably tending to support the conclusions of the agency. See Culpepper v. Moore, Fla. 40 So.2d.366; Willis v. Hathaway, 95 Fla. 608, 117 So.89. The discretion exercised by County staff in this case did not rest upon material facts reasonably tending to support the conclusions reached. Collier County's determination that Cardinal qualifies as a "Local Business" under the Purchasing Policy is not supported by the evidence, constitutes an abuse of discretion and is arbitrary and capricious. Collier County's recommended award to Cardinal, which is not a "Local Business", after M&S, an entity that unequivocally qualifies as a "Local Business" under the Purchasing Policy, matched the lowest non- local bidder's bid, violated the Purchasing Policy, constituted an abuse of discretion and was arbitrary and capricious. There are no material facts supporting the determination by Collier County staff that Cardinal qualifies as a "Local Business". • - 9 - Packet Page-563- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 5. DEMAND FOR RELIEF. Based upon all of the forgoing, M&S respectfully requests and demands that: A. Cardinal be deemed not to be a "Local Business" as defined in Section XI of the Collier County Purchasing Policy and thus Cardinal be deemed not entitled to the benefits and privileges of the LVP policy. B. The recommendation of the County Staff, as outlined in the Executive Summary, to award Bid 10-5423 "NCWTP Finished Water Quality and Odor control Compliance", to Cardinal, be reversed and rescinded. C. Collier County staff recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that M&S be awarded Bid 10-5423 "NCWTP Finished Water Quality and Odor control Compliance" in the amount of$2,904, 563.00. • D. The Board of County Commissioners award Bid 10-5423 "NCWTP Finished Water Quality and Odor control Compliance"to M&S in the amount of$2,904, 563.00, and enter into a contract with M&S for said project. 6. OTHER INFORMATION DEEMED TO BE MATERIAL TO THE ISSUE As of the date of the filing of this Protest, M&S has not yet been provided all of the public records that it has requested from Collier County relating to Bid 10-5423. (see Exhibit "0") M&S reserves the right to amend and supplement its filing and this Formal Written Protest upon the receipt of additional materials provided by Collier County pursuant to public records requests. - 1 0 - Packet Page-564- 2/12/2013 11 .B.

Sakwa Arnstein & Lehr LLP On Behalf of Poole and Ken Company of Florida 515 North Flagler Drive, Suite 600 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Telephone: 561-833-9800 FAX: 561-655-5551 Email: Imatlas( arnstein.com shsakwaarnstein.com cr RE: Final Resolution for 12-5931 Master Pump Station 312 Rehabilitation and 12-5952 Aerated Sludge Holding Tank (ASHT)/Flow Equalization Tan (FET) Mr. Sakwa: I am in receipt of your correspondence dated November 3, 2012, and have referred it to the County Attorney's Office to respond to you. I would like to take this opportunity to further address Poole & Kent's protest appeal to provide you with additional information that you might find relevant on the issue of going forward. On November 1, 2012, County staff received a signed notarized affidavit from City of Cape Coral's Chief Plant Operator since 2007, Andrew Fenske, whose office is located at the City's Treatment Plant located at 1200 Kismet Parkway West—the same address provided by Poole & Kent on its Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business submitted to Collier County with its bid. In part, Mr. Fenske swears that that: 1. Poole and Kent had an office trailer, and other trailers sometime in 2007 for storing tools and materials for a job at the 1200 Kismet Parkway West Cape Coral job site; 2. Sometime in the fall of 2010, the office trailer was removed from the plant and never brought back, leaving only storage trailers present at the City's treatment plant; and 3. To the best of his knowledge, the City of Cape Coral does not allow private companies to conduct non-city related business to the general public on City property. A copy of Mr. Fenske's Affidavit is attached your consideration. Although the facts clearly support the conclusion that Poole & Kent is not a local vendor under the County's Purchasing Policy, a thorough analysis confirms that Poole & Kent is not even eligible for consideration under that policy. As you know, the address Poole & Kent provided in its Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business is located on City of Cape Coral property. After the County adopted its Local Vendor Policy, it entered into a "Local Vendor Preference Reciprocity Agreement" with Lee County on October 14, 2008. (See copy attached). Through that agreement, Lee and Collier Counties agreed to deem vendors with physical business addresses in each other's jurisdiction as Purchasing Department.3327 Tamiami Trail East•Naples,Florida 34112.4901•www.colliergov.netlpurchasing Packet Page -573- 2/12/2013 11 .B. "local" for preference purposes. Collier and Lee only have jurisdiction to bind the unincorporated portions of their respective counties; and not the municipalities located within their respective incorporated portions. Notably, Collier County also entered into a separate "Local Vendor Preference Reciprocity Agreement"with the City of Bonita Springs on July 28, 2009. This is consistent with the Collier County Purchasing Policy Section X1(5) that allows Collier to enter into reciprocity agreements with "Lee County, or any other Florida county or municipality . . . deemed appropriate by the Collier County Board of Commissioners. . . [.1" Collier County has not entered into a Reciprocity Agreement with the City of Cape Coral. Therefore, Collier County is not bound to grant any local vendor preference to a business (regardless whether it has a physical business address) located within the City of Cape Coral; especially one involving a storage trailer actually located on City property. Finally, it bears noting that although the City of Cape Coral's Purchasing Policy does incorporate a form of local vendor preference, it is not equally applied to Collier County businesses. The Code of Ordinances of the City of Cape Coral, Florida, Section 2-144(a)(10) provides a preference for contractors submitting competitive sealed bids but it does not specifically identify Collier County businesses as an eligible "local contractor/vendor" under its policy. The Cape Coral Ordinance does incorporate a slight preference for Collier County professional firms (engineers, consultants, etc.) submitting qualification based proposals but even that benefit is limited by adding the following points or percentages to the scores: • Cape Coral professionals receive ten points or 10% • Lee County professionals receive seven points or 7% • Collier, Charlotte, Glades and Hendry County professionals receive three points or 3% Code of Ordinances of City of Cape Coral §2-144(h)(4)(c). By comparison, the preferential treatment Collier County provides Lee County and the City of Bonita Springs under the respective Reciprocity Agreements provides a match opportunity for their eligible competitive bid contractors and also provides 10 points or 10% to the total score of professionals submitting qualification based proposals, Collier County has no such reciprocal arrangement with the City of Cape Coral; therefore, Poole and Kent is not eligible to be treated as a local vendor under Collier County's policy. If you wish to reconsider proceeding with your client's protest appeal, it would be appreciated if you could inform me of your decision prior to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 6, 2012; which is when the agenda for the upcoming Board meeting will go to print.

Peter Schalt, Senior Project Manager, PMP COLLIER COUNTY PUBLIC UTILITIES MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING 10500 Goodlette-Frank Road Naples, Florida 34109 North County Water Reclamation Facility Aerated Sludge Holding/Flow Equalization Tank No. 3 Bid No. 12-5952 (Construction) Engineer's Recommendation to Award Contract Dear Mr. Schalt: The Collier County Purchasing Department received and opened bids for the above-referenced project on August 22, 2012. A total of two (2) bids were opened and read aloud. Attached is a tabulation of all bids received. On August 29, 2012 we received the bid proposals from you for evaluation. The apparent low bidder was Poole and Kent Company. Based on the County's local vendor preference policy, the second low bidder, Mitchell and Stark Construction Company, has agreed to match the low bid price and is now considered the apparent low bidder. According to our review of the Bid Proposals, we consider Mitchell & Stark Construction Co., Inc. to be the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. As such, we recommend award of the Collier NCWRF Aerated Sludge Holding/Flow Equalization Tank No. 3 construction contract to the apparent low bidder, Mitchell & Stark Construction Co., Inc., for the Total Bid Price of $6,307,000.00. We appreciate the opportunity to assist the County with this important project. Please call if you have any questions. Very truly yours, HAZEN AND SAWYER, P.C. Kurt A. Pfeffer, P.E.

Any and all such interpretations and supplemental instructions shall be in the form of written addendum which, if issued, shall be sent by mail or fax to all known Bidders at their respective addresses furnished for such purposes no later than three (3) working days prior to the date fixed for the Amok 7 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-598- 2/12/2013 11 .B. opening of Bids. Such written addenda shall be binding on Bidder and shall become a part of the Bidding Documents. 8.2 It shall be the responsibility of each Bidder to ascertain, prior to submitting its Bid, that it has received all addenda issued and it shall acknowledge same in its Bid. 8.3 As noted in the Legal Advertisement, attendance by all bidders at the Pre-Bid Conference is non-mandatory. Section 9. Examination of Site and Contract Documents 9.1 By executing and submitting its Bid, each Bidder certifies that it has: a. Examined all Bidding Documents thoroughly; b. Visited the site to become familiar with local conditions that may in any manner affect performance of the Work; c. Become familiar with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations affecting performance of the Work; and d. Correlated all of its observations with the requirements of Bidding documents. No plea of ignorance of conditions or difficulties that may exist or conditions or difficulties that may be encountered in the execution of the Work pursuant to these Bidding Documents as a result of failure to make the necessary examinations and investigations shall be accepted as an excuse for any failure or omission on the part of the Successful Bidder, nor shall they be accepted as a basis for any claims whatsoever for extra compensation or for an extension of time. 9.2 The Owner will make copies of surveys and reports performed in conjunction with this Project available to any Bidder requesting them at cost; provided, however, the Owner does not warrant or represent to any Bidder either the completeness or accuracy of any such surveys and reports. Before submitting its Bid, each Bidder shall, at its own expense, make such additional surveys and investigations as may be necessary to determine its Bid price for the performance of the Work within the terms of the Bidding Documents.

Section 11. Bid Quantities Auk, 11.1 Quantities given in the Bid Schedule, while estimated from the best information available, are approximate only. Payment for unit price items shall be based on the actual number of units installed for the Work. Bids shall be compared on the basis of number of units stated in the Bid Schedule as set forth in the Bidding Documents. Said unit prices shall be multiplied by the bid quantities for the total Bid price. Any Bid not conforming to this requirement may be rejected. Special attention to all Bidders is called to this provision, because if conditions make it necessary or prudent to revise the unit quantities, the unit prices will be fixed for such increased or decreased quantities. Compensation for such additive or subtractive changes in the quantities shall be limited to the unit prices in the Bid. Subsequent to the issuance of a notice to proceed, the Project Manager and the Successful Bidder shall have the discretion to re-negotiate any unit price(s) where the actual quantity varies by more than 25% from the estimate at the time of bid. 12.7 Alternate Bid Pricing: In the event that alternate pricing is requested, it is an expressed requirement of the bid invitation to provide pricing for all alternates as listed. The omission of a response or a no-bid or lack of a submitted price may be the basis for the rejection of the submitted bid response. All bids responses received without pricing for all alternates as listed will be considered technically non- responsive and will not be considered for award. Section 12. Award of Contract Ask 12.1 Any prospective bidder who desires to protest any aspect(s) or provision(s) of the bid invitation (including the form of the bid documents or bid procedures) shall file their protest with the Purchasing Director prior to the time of the bid opening strictly in accordance with Owner's then current Purchasing Policy. 12.2 Statement of Award: The Award of Contract shall be issued to the lowest, responsive and qualified Bidder determined by the base bid, and any, or all, selected alternates, and the Owner's investigations of the Bidder. In determining the lowest, responsive and qualified bidder, the Owner shall consider the capability of the Bidder to perform the contract in a timely and responsible manner. When the contract is awarded by Owner, such award shall be evidenced by a written Notice of Award, signed by a Purchasing Agent of the Owner's Purchasing Department or his or her designee and delivered to the intended awardee or mailed to awardee at the business address shown in the Bid. 12.3 Award recommendations will be posted outside the offices of the Purchasing Department generally on Wednesdays or Thursdays prior to the presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. Award of Contract will be made by the Board of County Commissioners in public session. Any actual or prospective bidder who desires to formally protest the recommended contract award must file a notice of intent to protest with the Purchasing Director within two (2) calendar days (excluding weekends and holidays) of the date that the recommended award is posted. Upon filing of said 9 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-600- 2/12/2013 11 .B. notice, the protesting party will have five (5) days to file a formal protest, said protest to strictly comply with Owner's then current Purchasing Policy. A copy of the Purchasing Policy is available at http://w■ w.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?pace=762. 12.4 For Bidders who may wish to receive copies of Bids after the Bid opening, The Owner reserves the right to recover all costs associated with the printing and distribution of such copies. 12.5 For Bidders who may wish to receive copies of Bids after the Bid opening, The Owner reserves the right to recover all costs associated with the printing and distribution of such copies. 12.6 Certificate of Authority to Conduct Business in the State of Florida (Florida Statute 607.1501) In order to be considered for award, firms submitting a response to this solicitation shall be required to provide a certificate of authority from the Florida Department of State Divisions of Corporations in accordance with the requirements of Florida Statute 607.1501 (www.sunbiz.orq/search.html). A copy of the document shall be submitted with the solicitation response and the document number shall be identified. Firms who do not provide the certificate of authority at the time of response shall be required to provide same within five (5) days upon notification of selection for award. If the firm cannot provide the document within the referenced timeframe, the County reserves the right to award to another firm. 12.7 Local Vendor Preference: The Collier County Board of County Commissioners has adopted a Local Preference "Right to Match" policy to enhance the opportunities of local businesses to receive awards of Collier County contracts. A "local business" is defined as a business that has a valid occupational license issued by either Collier or Lee County for a minimum of one (1) year prior to a Collier County bid or proposal submission that authorizes the business to provide the commodities or services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of Collier or Lee Counties from which the vendor operates or performs business. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of either Collier or Lee County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to either Collier or Lee County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier or Lee County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. When a qualified and responsive, non-local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local businesses is within ten 10 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-601- 2/12/2013 11 .B. percent (10%) of the price submitted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e. the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit, an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non-local bidder and the lowest local bidder are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of Section 287.087 F.S. If the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of 287.087, F.S., the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest local bidder to submit a matching offer to the Purchasing Department which shall be submitted within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local bidder. If the lowest local bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non local bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive bidder. If the lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Section 287.087 F.S. and the lowest non-local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference state law. Bidder must complete and submit with their bid response the Affidavit for Claiming Status as a Local Business which is included as part of this solicitation. Failure on the part of a Bidder to submit this Affidavit with their bid response will preclude said Bidder from being considered for local preference on this solicitation. A Bidder who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year. The County may, as it deems necessary, conduct discussions with responsible bidders determined to be in contention for being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to solicitation requirements. Section 13. Sales Tax 13.1 The Successful Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Owner may utilize a sales tax savings program and the Successful Bidder agrees to fully comply, at no additional cost to Owner, with such sales tax savings program implemented by the Owner as set forth in the Agreement and in accordance with Owner's policies and procedures. 11 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-602- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Section 14. Exclusion of County Permits in Bid Prices 14.1 To ensure compliance with Section 218.80, F.S., otherwise known as "The Public Bid Disclosure Act", Collier County will pay for all Collier County permits and fees applicable to the Project, including license fees, permit fees, impact fees or inspection fees applicable to this Work through an internal budget transfer(s). Hence, bidders shall not include these permit/fee amounts in their bid offer. However, the Successful Bidder shall retain the responsibility to initiate and complete all necessary and appropriate actions to obtain the required permits other than payment for the items identified in this section. 14.2 The Successful Bidder shall be responsible for procuring and paying for all necessary permits not issued by Collier County pursuant to the prosecution of the work. Section 15. Use of Subcontractors 15.1 To ensure the Work contemplated by the Contract Documents is performed in a professional and timely manner, all Subcontractors performing any portion of the work on this Project shall be "qualified" as defined in Collier County Ordinance 87-25, meaning a person or entity that has the capability in all respects to perform fully the Agreement requirements and has the integrity and reliability to assure good faith performance. A Subcontractor's disqualification from bidding by the Owner, or other public contracting entity within the past twelve months shall be considered by the Owner when determining whether the Subcontractors are "qualified." 15.2 The Owner may consider the past performance and capability of a Subcontractor when evaluating the ability, capacity and skill of the Bidder and its ability to perform the Agreement within the time required. Owner reserves the right to disqualify a Bidder who includes Subcontractors in its bid offer which are not "qualified" or who do not meet the legal requirements applicable to and necessitated by this Agreement. 15.3 The Owner may reject all bids proposing the use of any subcontractors who have been disqualified from submitting bids to the Owner, disqualified or de-certified for bidding purposes by any public contracting entity, or who has exhibited an inability to perform through any other means. 15.4 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, the Bidders shall identify the subcontractor(s) it intends to use for the categories of work as set forth in the List of Subcontracts attached hereto, said list to be submitted with its bid. Bidders acknowledge and agree that the subcontractors identified on the list is not a complete list of the subcontractors to be used on the Project, but rather only the major subcontractors for each category of Work as established by Owner. Bidders further acknowledge that once there is an Award of Contract, the Successful Bidder shall identify, subject to Owner's review and approval, all the subcontractors it intends to use on the Project. Once approved by Owner, no subcontractor shall be removed or replaced without Owner's prior written approval. 12 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-603- 2/12/2013 11 .B. Section 16. Prohibition of Gifts Amok No organization or individual shall offer or give, either directly or indirectly, any favor, gift, loan, fee, service or other item of value to any County employee, as set forth in Chapter 112, Part III, Florida Statutes, Collier County Ethics Ordinance No. 2004-05, - and County Administrative Procedure 5311. Violation of this provision may result in one or more of the following consequences: a. Prohibition by the individual, firm, and/or any employee of the firm from contact with County staff for a specified period of time; b. Prohibition by the individual and/or firm from doing business with the County for a specified period of time, including but not limited to: submitting bids, RFP, and/or quotes; and, c. immediate termination of any contract held by the individual and/or firm for cause. Section 17. Lobbying All firms are hereby placed on NOTICE that the Board of County Commissioners does not wish to be lobbied, either individually or collectively about a project for which a firm has submitted a response. Firms and their agents are not to contact members of the County Commission for such purposes as meeting or introduction, luncheons, dinners, etc. During the process, from solicitation closing to final Board approval, no firm or their agent shall contact any other employee of Collier County in reference to this solicitation, or the vendor's response, with the exception of the Purchasing Director or his designee(s). Failure to abide by this provision may serve as grounds for disqualification for award of this contract to the firm. Section 18. Public Entity Crimes By its submitting a Bid, Bidder acknowledges and agrees to and represents it is in compliance with the terms of Section 287.133(2)(a) of the Florida Statutes which read as follows: "A person or affiliate who has been placed on the convicted vendor list following a conviction for a public entity crime may not submit a bid, proposal, or reply on a contract to provide any goods or services to a public entity; may not submit a bid, proposal, or reply on a contract with a public entity for the construction or repair of a public building or public work; may not submit bids, proposals, or replies on leases of real property to a public entity'; may not be awarded or perform work as a contractor, supplier, subcontractor, or consultant under a contract with any public entity; and may not transact business with any public entity in excess of the threshold amount provided in s. 287.017 for CATEGORY TWO for a period of 36 months from the date of being placed on the convicted vendor list." 13 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page -604- 2/12/2013 11 .B.

CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ("Owner") hereby contracts with Mitchell & Stark Construction Company, Inc. ("Contractor") of 6001 Shirley Street Naples, Florida 34109, an Indiana Corporation, authorized to do business in the State of Florida, to perform all work ("Work") in connection with NCWRF Aerated Sludge Holding Tank No. 3, Bid No. 12-5952 ("Project"), as said Work is set forth in the Plans and Specifications prepared by Hazen & Sawyer, the Engineer and/or Architect of Record ("Design Professional") and other Contract Documents hereafter specified. Owner and Contractor, for the consideration herein set forth, agree as follows: Section 1. Contract Documents. A. The Contract Documents consist of this Agreement, the Exhibits described in Section 6 hereof, the Legal Advertisement, the Bidding Documents and any duly executed and issued addenda, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes, Field Orders and amendments relating thereto. All of the foregoing Contract Documents are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement (all of said documents including the Agreement sometimes being referred to herein as the "Contract Documents" and sometimes as the "Agreement" and sometimes as the "Contract"). A copy of the Contract Documents shall be maintained by Contractor at the Project site at all times during the performance of the Work. B. Owner shall furnish to the Contractor one reproducible set of the Contract Documents and the appropriate number of sets of the Construction Documents, signed and sealed by the Design Professional, as are reasonably necessary for permitting. Section 2. Scope of Work. Contractor agrees to furnish and pay for all management, supervision, financing, labor, materials, tools, fuel, supplies, utilities, equipment and services of every kind and type necessary to diligently, timely, and fully perform and complete in a good and workmanlike manner the Work required by the Contract Documents. Section 3. Contract Amount. In consideration of the faithful performance by Contractor of the covenants in this Agreement to the full satisfaction and acceptance of Owner, Owner agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to Contractor the following amount (herein "Contract Amount"), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement: Six Million Three Hundred seven Thousand dollars ($6,307,000.00) 33 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page -640- 2/12/2013 11 .B. which are to be paid by Contractor. The Performance and Payment Bonds shall be underwritten by a surety authorized to do business in the State of Florida and otherwise acceptable to Owner; provided, however, the surety shall meet the requirements of the Department of the Treasury Fiscal Service, "Companies Holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Sureties on Federal Bonds and as Acceptable Reinsurance Companies" circular. This circular may be accessed via the web at www.fms.treas.00v/c570/c570.html#certified. Should the Contract Amount be less than $500,000, the requirements of Section 287.0935, F.S. shall govern the rating and classification of the surety. B. If the surety for any bond furnished by Contractor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent, its right to do business is terminated in the State of Florida, or it ceases to meet the requirements imposed by the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, within five (5) calendar days thereafter, substitute at its cost and expense another bond and surety, both of which shall be subject to the Owner's approval. Section 5. Contract Time and Liquidated Damages. A. Time of Performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work under this Agreement. The "Commencement Date" shall be established in the written Notice to Proceed to be issued by the Project Manager, as hereinafter defined. Contractor shall commence the Work within five (5) calendar days from the Commencement Date. No Work shall be performed at the Project site prior to the Commencement Date. Any Work performed by Contractor prior to the Commencement Date shall be at the sole risk of Contractor. Contractor shall achieve Substantial Completion within four hundred fifty (450) calendar days from the Commencement Date (herein "Contract Time"). The date of Substantial Completion of the Work (or designated portions thereof) is the date certified by the Design Professional when construction is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents, so Owner can occupy or utilize the Work (or designated portions thereof) for the use for which it is intended. Contractor shall achieve Final Completion within ninety (90) calendar days after the date of Substantial Completion. Final Completion shall occur when the Agreement is completed in its entirety, is accepted by the Owner as complete and is so stated by the Owner as completed. As used herein and throughout the Contract Documents, the phrase "Project Manager" refers to the Owner's duly authorized representative and shall mean the Division Administrator or Department Director, as applicable, acting directly or through duly authorized representatives. B. Liquidated Damages in General. Owner and Contractor recognize that, since time is of the essence for this Agreement, Owner will suffer financial loss if Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion within the time specified above, as said time may be adjusted as provided for herein. In such event, the total amount of Owner's damages, will be difficult, if not impossible, to definitely ascertain and quantify. Should Contractor fail to achieve Substantial Completion within the number of calendar days established here in, Owner shall be entitled to assess, as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty, One Thousand six 34 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-641- 2/12/2013 11 .B. hundred thirty two dollars and ten cents ($1,632.10) for each calendar day thereafter until Substantial Completion is achieved. Further, in the event Substantial Completion is reached, but the Contractor fails to reach Final Completion within the required time period, Owner shall also be entitled to assess and Contractor shall be liable for all actual damages incurred by Owner as a result of Contractor failing to timely achieve Final Completion. The Project shall be deemed to be substantially completed on the date the Project Manager (or at his/her direction, the Design Professional) issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion pursuant to the terms hereof. Contractor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the Owner's actual damages at the time of contracting if Contractor fails to Substantially or Finally Complete the Work within the required time periods. C. Computation of Time Periods. When any period of time is referenced by days herein, it shall be computed to exclude the first day and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be omitted from the computation, and the last day shall become the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. D. Determination of Number of Days of Default. For all contracts, regardless of whether the Contract Time is stipulated in calendar days or working days, the Owner will count default days in calendar days. E. Right of Collection. The Owner has the right to apply any amounts due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, as payment on such liquidated damages due under this Agreement in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owner retains its right to liquidated damages due under this Agreement even if Contractor, at Owner's election and in its sole discretion, is allowed to continue and to finish the Work, or any part of it, after the expiration of the Contract Time including granted time extensions. F. Completion of Work by Owner. In the event Contractor defaults on any of its obligations under the Agreement and Owner elects to complete the Work, in whole or in part, through another contractor or its own forces, the Contractor and its surety shall continue to be liable for the liquidated damages under the Agreement until Owner achieves Substantial and Final Completion of the Work. Owner will not charge liquidated damages for any delay in achieving Substantial or Final Completion as a result of any unreasonable action or delay on the part of the Owner. G. Final Acceptance by Owner. The Owner shall consider the Agreement complete when the Contractor has completed in its entirety all of the Work and the Owner has accepted all of the Work and notified the Contractor in writing that the Work is complete. Once the Owner has approved and 35 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-642- 2/12/2013 11 .B. G. Final Acceptance by Owner. The Owner shall consider the Agreement complete when the Contractor has completed in its entirety all of the Work and the Owner has accepted all of the Work and notified the Contractor in writing that the Work is complete. Once the Owner has approved and accepted the Work, Contractor shall be entitled to final payment in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents. H. Recovery of Damages Suffered by Third Parties. Contractor shall be liable to Owner to the extent Owner incurs damages from a third party as a result of Contractor's failure to fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract Documents. Owner's recovery of any delay related damages under this Agreement through the liquidated damages does not preclude Owner from recovering from Contractor any other non-delay related damages that may be owed to it arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT H: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. 1.1 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project (or portion thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any work, materials or equipment that may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to produce the intended result shall be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words which have a well known technical or trade meaning are used to describe work, materials or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or association or to the laws or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code, law or regulation in effect at the time the Work is performed, except as may be otherwise specifically stated herein. 1.2 If before or during the performance of the Work Contractor discovers a conflict, error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, Contractor immediately shall report same to the Project Manager in writing and before proceeding with the Work affected thereby shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager; said interpretation or clarification from the Project Manager may require Contractor to consult directly with Design Professional or some other third party, as directed by Project Manager. Contractor shall take field measurements and verify field conditions and shall carefully compare such field measurements and conditions and other information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents before commencing any portion of the Work. 1.3 Drawings are intended to show general arrangements, design and extent of Work and are not intended to serve as shop drawings. Specifications are separated into divisions for convenience of reference only and shall not be interpreted as establishing divisions for the Work, trades, subcontracts, or extent of any part of the Work. In the event of a discrepancy between or among the drawings, specifications or other Contract Document provisions, Contractor shall be required to comply with the provision which is the more restrictive or stringent requirement upon the Contractor, as determined by the Project Manager. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned, all anchors, bolts, screws, fittings, fillers, hardware, accessories, trim and other parts required in connection with any portion of the Work to make a complete, serviceable, finished and first quality installation shall be furnished and installed as part of the Work, whether or not called for by the Contract Documents. 2. INVESTIGATION AND UTILITIES. 2.1 Subject to Section 2.3 below, Contractor shall have the sole responsibility of satisfying itself concerning the nature and location of the Work and the general and local conditions, and particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the following: those affecting transportation, access, disposal, handling and storage of materials; 65 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-673- 2/12/2013 11 .B. availability and quality of labor; water and electric power; availability and condition of roads; work area; living facilities; climatic conditions and seasons; physical conditions at the work-site and the project area as a whole; topography and ground surface conditions; nature and quantity of the surface materials to be encountered; subsurface conditions; equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during performance of the Work; and all other costs associated with such performance. The failure of Contractor to acquaint itself with any applicable conditions shall not relieve Contractor from any of its responsibilities to perform under the Contract Documents, nor shall it be considered the basis for any claim for additional time or compensation. 2.2 Contractor shall locate all existing roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utility services above, upon, or under the Project site, said roadways, railways, drainage facilities and utilities being referred to in this Sub-Section 2.2 as the "Utilities". Contractor shall contact the owners of all Utilities to determine the necessity for relocating or temporarily interrupting any Utilities during the construction of the Project. Contractor shall schedule and coordinate its Work around any such relocation or temporary service interruption. Contractor shall be responsible for properly shoring, supporting and protecting all Utilities at all times during the course of the Work. The Contractor is responsible for coordinating all other utility work so as to not interfere with the prosecution of the Work (except those utilities to be coordinated by the Owner as may be expressly described elsewhere in the Contract Documents). 2.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, if conditions are encountered at the Project site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (ii) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, and which reasonably should not have been discovered by Contractor as part of its scope of site investigative services required pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents, then Contractor shall provide Owner with prompt written notice thereof before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than three (3) calendar days after first observance of such conditions. Owner and Design Professional shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Owner will acknowledge and agree to an equitable adjustment to Contractor's compensation or time for performance, or both, for such Work. If Owner determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents or not of an unusual nature or should have been discovered by Contractor as part of its investigative services, and that no change in the terms of the Agreement is justified, Owner shall so notify Contractor in writing, stating its reasons. Claims by Contractor in opposition to such determination by Owner must be made within seven (7) calendar days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's written determination notice. If Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment to Contractor's cost or time of performance, the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the Contract Documents shall be complied with by the parties. 66 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-674- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 3. SCHEDULE. 3.1 The Contractor, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Award, shall prepare and submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a progress schedule for the Project (herein "Progress Schedule").

The Progress Schedule shall indicate the dates for starting and completing the various stages of the Work. 3.2 The Progress Schedule shall be updated monthly by the Contractor. All monthly updates to the Progress Schedule shall be subject to the Project Manager's review and approval. Contractor shall submit the updates to the Progress Schedule with its monthly Applications for Payment noted below.

PROGRESS PAYMENTS. 4.1 Prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall submit to Project Manager, for their review and approval, a schedule of values based upon the Contract Price, listing the major elements of the Work and the dollar value for each element. After its approval by the Project Manager, this schedule of values shall be used as the basis for the Contractor's monthly Applications for Payment. This schedule shall be updated and submitted each month along with a completed copy of the Application for Payment form signed by the Contractor's authorized representative and attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D. 4.2 Prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall provide to the Project Manager the list of its Subcontractors and materialmen submitted with its Bid showing the work and materials involved and the dollar amount of each subcontract and purchase order. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any modifications to the list of Subcontractors submitted with Contractor's Bid and any subsequently identified Subcontractors are subject to Owner's prior written approval. The first Application for Payment shall be submitted no earlier than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if approved by Owner in its sole discretion, Contractor may submit its invoice for any required Payment and Performance Bonds prior to the first Application of Payment provided that Contractor has furnished Owner certified copies of the receipts evidencing the premium paid by Contractor for the bonds. 67 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-675- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 4.3 Contractor shall submit all Applications for Payment to Kurt A. Pfeffer, Hazen & Aok Sawyer, located at 2101 NW Corporate BLVD Suite 301 Boca Raton_ FL 33431. 4.4 Unless expressly approved by Owner in advance and in writing, said approval at Owner's sole discretion, Owner is not required to make any payment for materials or equipment that have not been incorporated into the Project. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated into the Project, but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location, and such payment and storage have been agreed to by Owner in writing, the Application for Payment also shall be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that the Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances, together with evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein, all of which shall be subject to the Owner's satisfaction. Thereafter, with each Application for Payment, Contractor also shall complete and submit to Owner as part of its Application for Payment, the Stored Materials Record attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D-3. 4.5 Contractor shall submit four (4) copies of its monthly Application for Payment to the Project Manager or his or her designee, as directed by Owner (which designee may include the Design Professional). After the date of each Application for Payment is stamped as received and within the timeframes set forth in Section 218.735 F.S., the Project Manager, or Design Professional, shall either: (1) Indicate its approval of the requested payment; (2) indicate its approval of only a portion of the requested payment, stating in writing its reasons therefore; or (3) return the Application for Payment to the Contractor indicating, in writing, the reason for refusing to approve payment. Payments of proper invoices in the amounts approved shall be processed and paid in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the County's Purchasing Department and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department respectively. In the event of a total denial by Owner and return of the Application for Payment by the Project Manager, the Contractor may make the necessary corrections and re-submit the Application for Payment. The Owner shall, within ten (10) business days after the Application for Payment is stamped and received and after Project Manager approval of an Application for Payment, pay the Contractor the amounts so approved. 4.5 Owner shall retain ten percent (10%) of the gross amount of each monthly payment request or ten percent (10%) of the portion thereof approved by the Project Manager for payment, whichever is less. Such sum shall be accumulated and not released to Contractor until final payment is due unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner in accordance with Florida Statute 255.078. The Project Manager shall have the discretion to establish, in writing, a schedule to periodically reduce the percentage of cumulative retainage held through out the course of the Project schedule. Owner shall reduce the amount of the retainage withheld on each payment request subsequent to fifty percent (50%) completion subject to the guidelines set forth in Florida Statute 255.078 and as set forth in the Owner's Purchasing Policy. Atook 68 fi= < Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page -676- 2/12/2013 11.B. 4.6 Monthly payments to Contractor shall in no way imply approval or acceptance of Contractor's Work. 4.7 Each Application for Payment, subsequent to the first pay application, shall be accompanied by a Release and Affidavit, in the form attached as Exhibit C, acknowledging Contractor's receipt of payment in full for all materials, labor, equipment and other bills that are then due and payable by Owner with respect to the current Application for Payment. Further, to the extent directed by Owner and in Owner's sole discretion, Contractor shall also submit a Release and Affidavit from each Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, or supplier in the form attached as Exhibit C acknowledging that each Subcontractor, sub-subcontractor or supplier has been paid in full through the previous month's Application for Payment. The Owner shall not be required to make payment until and unless these affidavits are furnished by Contractor. 4.8 Contractor agrees and understands that funding limitations exist and that the expenditure of funds must be spread over the duration of the Project at regular intervals based on the Contract Amount and Progress Schedule. Accordingly, prior to submitting its first monthly Application for Payment, Contractor shall prepare and submit for Project Manager's review and approval, a detailed Project Funding Schedule, which shall be updated as necessary and approved by Owner to reflect approved adjustments to the Contract Amount and Contract Time. No voluntary acceleration or early completion of the Work shall modify the time of payments to Contractor as set forth in the approved Project Funding Schedule. 4.9 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a dispute concerning payments for Work performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall continue to perform the Work required of it under this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute provided that Owner continues to pay Contractor all amounts that Owner does not dispute are due and payable. 4.10 Payments will be made for services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon receipt and approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months after completion of contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the specified deadline period is subject to non-payment under the legal doctrine of "laches" as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement. 4.11 The County may, at its discretion, use VISA/MASTER card credit network as a payment vehicle for goods and/or services purchased as a part of this contract. 5. PAYMENTS WITHHELD. 5.1 The Project Manager may decline to approve any Application for Payment, or portions thereof, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent inspections that reveal non-compliance with the Contract Documents. The Project Manager may nullify the whole or any part of any approval for payment previously 69 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-677- 2/12/2013 11 .B. issued and Owner may withhold any payments otherwise due Contractor under this Agreement or any other agreement between Owner and Contractor, to such extent as may be necessary in the Owner's opinion to protect it from loss because of: (a) defective Work not remedied; (b) third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims; (c) failure of Contractor to make payment properly to subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment; (d) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount; (e) reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time; (f) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the Contractor; or (g) any other material breach of the Contract Documents by Contractor. 5.2 If any conditions described in 5.1. are not remedied or removed, 'Owner may, after three (3) days written notice, rectify the same at Contractor's expense. Provided, however, in the event of an emergency, Owner shall not be required to provide Contractor any written notice prior to rectifying the situation at Contractor's expense. Owner also may offset against any sums due Contractor the amount of any liquidated or non-liquidated obligations of Contractor to Owner, whether relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement between Contractor and Owner. 5.3 In instances where the successful contractor may owe debts (including, but not limited to taxes or other fees) to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to satisfy these debts, the County reserves the right to off-set the amount owed to the County by applying the amount owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials delivered in association with a contract. 6. FINAL PAYMENT. 6.1 Owner shall make final payment to Contractor in accordance with Section 218.735, F.S. and the administrative procedures established by the County's Purchasing Department and the Clerk of Court's Finance Department after the Work is finally inspected and accepted by Project Manager as set forth with Section 20.1 herein, provided that Contractor first, and as an explicit condition precedent to the accrual of Contractor's right to final payment, shall have furnished Owner with a properly executed and notarized copy of the Release and Affidavit attached as Exhibit C, as well as, a duly executed copy of the Surety's consent to final payment and such other documentation that may be required by the Contract Documents and the Owner. Prior to release of final payment and final retainage, the Contractor's Representative and the Project Manager shall jointly complete the Final Payment Checklist, a representative copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit G. 6.2 Contractor's acceptance of final payment shall constitute a full waiver of any and all claims by Contractor against Owner arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Project, except those previously made in writing in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and identified by Contractor as unsettled in its final Application for Payment. Neither the acceptance of the Work nor payment by Owner shall be deemed to be a waiver of Owner's right to enforce any obligations of 70 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-678- 2/12/2013 11.B. Contractor hereunder or to the recovery of damages for defective Work not discovered by the Design Professional or Project Manager at the time of final inspection. 7. SUBMITTALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS. 7.1 Contractor shall carefully examine the Contract Documents for all requirements for approval of materials to be submitted such as shop drawings, data, test results, schedules and samples. Contractor shall submit all such materials at its own expense and in such form as required by the Contract Documents in sufficient time to prevent any delay in the delivery of such materials and the installation thereof. 7.2 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular supplier, the naming of the item is intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other suppliers may be accepted by Owner if sufficient information is submitted by Contractor to allow the Owner to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by Owner from anyone other than Contractor and all such requests must be submitted by Contractor to Project Manager within thirty (30) calendar days after Notice of Award is received by Contractor, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by Owner and Contractor. 7.3 If Contractor wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, Contractor shall make application to the Project Manager for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute shall adequately perform the functions and achieve the results called for by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as that specified. The application shall state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice Contractor's achievement of substantial completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract with Owner for the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or not incorporation or use by the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement service shall be indicated. The application also shall contain an itemized estimate of all costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including costs for redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by the Project Manager in evaluating the proposed substitute. The Project Manager may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense additional data about the proposed substitute. 7.4 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to the Project Manager, if Contractor submits sufficient information to allow 71 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-679- 2/12/2013 11 .B. the Project Manager to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedures for submission to and review by the Project Manager shall be the same as those provided herein for substitute materials and equipment. 7.5 The Project Manager shall be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed substitute and, if need be, to consult with the Design Professional. No substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without the Project Manager's prior written acceptance which shall be evidenced by a Change Order, a Work Directive Change, a Field Order or an approved Shop Drawing. The Owner may require Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. The Project Manager will record time required by the Project Manager and the Project Manager's consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by Contractor and making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby. Whether or not the Owner accepts a proposed substitute, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the charges of the Design Professional and the Design Professional's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute. 8. DAILY REPORTS, AS-BUILTS AND MEETINGS. 8.1 Unless waived in writing by Owner, Contractor shall complete and submit to Project Manager on a weekly basis a daily log of the Contractor's work for the preceding week in a format approved by the Project Manager. The daily log shall document all activities of Contractor at the Project site including, but not limited to, the following: 8.1.1 Weather conditions showing the high and low temperatures during work hours, the amount of precipitation received on the Project site, and any other weather conditions which adversely affect the Work; • 8.1.2 Soil conditions which adversely affect the Work; 8.1.3 The hours of operation by Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's personnel; 8.1.4 The number of Contractor's and Sub-Contractor's personnel present and working at the Project site, by subcontract and trade; 8.1.5 All equipment present at the Project site, description of equipment use and designation of time equipment was used (specifically indicating any down time); 8.1.6 Description of Work being performed at the Project site; 8.1.7 Any unusual or special occurrences at the Project site; 8.1.8 Materials received at the Project site; 8.1.9 A list of all visitors to the Project 72 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page-680- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 8.1.10 Any problems that might impact either the cost or quality of the Work or the time of performance. The daily log shall not constitute nor take the place of any notice required to be given by Contractor to Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents. 8.2 Contractor shall maintain in a safe place at the Project site one record copy of the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, all drawings, specifications, addenda, amendments, Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, as well as all written interpretations and clarifications issued by the Design Professional, in good order and annotated to show all changes made during construction. The annotated drawings shall be continuously updated by the Contractor throughout the prosecution of the Work to accurately reflect all field changes that are made to adapt the Work to field conditions, changes resulting from Change Orders, Work Directive Changes and Field Orders, and all concealed and buried installations of piping, conduit and utility services. All buried and concealed items, both inside and outside the Project site, shall be accurately located on the annotated drawings as to depth and in relationship to not less than two (2) permanent features (e.g. interior or exterior wall faces). The annotated drawings shall be clean and all changes, corrections and dimensions shall be given in a neat and legible manner in a contrasting color. The "As-Built" record documents, together with all approved samples and a counterpart of all approved shop drawings shall be available to the Project Manager or Design Professional for reference. Upon completion of the Work and as a condition precedent to Contractor's entitlement to final payment, these "As-Built" record documents, samples and shop drawings_shall be delivered to Project Manager by Contractor for Owner. 8.3 Contractor shall keep all records and supporting documentation which concern or relate to the Work hereunder for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement or the date the Project is completed or such longer period as may be required by law, whichever is later. Owner, or any duly authorized agents or representatives of Owner, shall have the right to audit, inspect and copy all such records and documentation as often as they deem necessary during the period of this Agreement and during the document retention period noted above; provided, however, such activity shall be conducted only during normal business hours. 9. CONTRACT TIME AND TIME EXTENSIONS. 9.1 Contractor shall diligently pursue the completion of the Work and coordinate the Work being done on the Project by its subcontractors and material-men, as well as coordinating its Work with all work of others at the Project Site, so that its Work or the work of others shall not be delayed or impaired by any act or omission by Contractor. Contractor shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, as well as coordination of all portions of the Work under the Contract Documents, and the coordination of Owner's suppliers and contractors as set forth in Paragraph 12.2. herein. 73 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page -681- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 9.2 Should Contractor be obstructed or delayed in the prosecution of or completion of the Work as a result of unforeseeable causes beyond the control of Contractor, and mar not due to its fault or neglect, including but not restricted to acts of Nature or of the public enemy, acts of government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine regulation, strikes or lockouts, Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing within forty-eight (48) hours after the commencement of such delay, stating the cause or causes thereof, or be deemed to have waived any right which Contractor may have had to request a time extension. 9.3 No interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the commencement or progress of the Work from any cause whatever, including those for which Owner may be responsible, in whole or in part, shall relieve Contractor of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from Owner. Contractor expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall receive no damages for delay. Contractor's sole remedy, if any, against Owner will be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time; 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 to claims based on late completion. 9.4 In no event shall any approval by Owner authorizing Contractor to continue performing Work under this Agreement or any payment issued by Owner to Contractor be deemed a waiver of any right or claim Owner may have against Contractor for delay damages hereunder. 10. CHANGES IN THE WORK. 10.1 Owner shall have the right at any time during the progress of the Work to increase or decrease the Work. Promptly after being notified of a change, Contractor shall submit an itemized estimate of any cost or time increases or savings it foresees as a result of the change. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, or as expressly set forth herein, no addition or changes to the Work shall be made except upon written order of Owner, and Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any increased compensation without such written order. No officer, employee or agent of Owner is authorized to direct any extra or changed work orally. Any alleged changes must be approved by Owner in writing prior to starting such items. Owner will not be responsible for the costs of any changes commenced without Owner's express prior written approval. Failure to obtain such prior written approval for any changes will be deemed: (i) a waiver of any claim by Contractor for such items and (ii) an admission by Contractor that such items are in fact not a change but rather are part of the Work required of Contractor hereunder. 10.2 A Change Order, in the form attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement, shall be issued and executed promptly after an agreement is reached between Contractor and Owner concerning the requested changes. Contractor shall promptly perform changes authorized by duly executed Change Orders.

The right of Project Manager to stop the Work shall be exercised, if at all, solely for Owner's benefit and nothing herein shall be construed as obligating the Project Manager to exercise this right for the benefit of Design Engineer, Contractor, or any other person. 23.4 Should the Owner determine, at its sole opinion, it is in the Owner's best interest to accept defective Work, the Owner may do so. Contractor shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to the Owner's evaluation of and determination to accept defective Work. If such determination is rendered prior to final payment, a Change Order shall be executed evidencing such acceptance of such defective Work, incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents and reflecting an appropriate decrease in the Contract Amount. If the Owner accepts such defective Work after final payment, Contractor shall promptly pay Owner an appropriate amount to adequately compensate Owner for its acceptance of the defective Work. 23.5 If Contractor fails, within a reasonable time after the written notice from Project Manager, to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected defective Work as required by Project Manager or Owner, or if Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any of the provisions of the Contract Documents, Owner may, after seven (7) days written notice to Contractor, correct and remedy any such deficiency. Provided, however, Owner shall not be required to give notice to Contractor in the event of an emergency.

Such direct, indirect and consequential costs shall include, but not be limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of Contractor's defective Work. Contractor shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by Owner of Owner's rights and remedies hereunder. 85 Construction Services Agreement for Public Utilities:Revised 03/01/2012 Packet Page -693- 2/12/2013 11 .B. 24.
