10/19/2011 Agreement DANNY L. KOLHA GE
CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT
DATE: November -I, 2011
TO: Peter Horton, Director
of Airports
Attn: April Pearson
FROM: Pamela G. Han4', I. C.
At the October 19, 2011 Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Board granted
approval and authorized execution of Item C17 Environmental Consulting Services Agreement
with Feher Environmental Consulting, Inc. (FEC) for professional services at Key West
International Airport and The Florida Keys Marathon Airport.
Enclosed is duplicate original of the above - mentioned for your handling. Please note that
the consultant did submit a Request for Waiver of Insurance Requirements that Maria Slavik did
not sign off on. Ms. Slavik noted to me that she would need to have the vendor provide us with
the State Exemption for Worker's Compensation. I executed this agreement without this
information because there were no insurance requirements listd in the agreement.
On October 31, 2011, I executed the Financial Consulting Services Agreement with
Newton & Associates, Inc. for professional services at the Key West International Airport and
the Florida Keys Marathon Airport. This agreement was very similar to the FEC agreement and
also did not have any insurance requirements and no waiver was submitted.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.

at EYW; preparation of vegetation trimming plans and permitting to maintain safe airport
operations at EYW, and other miscellaneous tasks pertaining to environmental issues as
requested by the OWNER.
2.2 CONSULTANT and COUNTY acknowledge that the Scope of Services does not
delineate every detail and minor work task required to be performed by CONSULTANT
to complete the Project or any particular task order. If, during the course of the
performance of the services included in this Agreement, CONSULTANT determines that
work should, be performed to complete the Project which is in the CONSULTANT's
opinion, outside the level of effort originally anticipated, whether or not the Scope of
Services identifies the work items, CONSULTANT shall notify Contract Administrator
in writing in a timely manner before proceeding with the work. If CONSULTANT
proceeds with said work without notifying the Contract Administrator, said work shall be
deemed to be within the original level of effort, whether or not specifically addressed in
the Scope of Services. Notice to Contract Administrator does not constitute
authorization or approval by COUNTY to perform the work. Performance of work by
CONSULTANT outside the originally anticipated level of effort without prior written
COUNTY approval or modification of task order is at CONSULTANT's sole risk.
2.3 The specific services to be provided by the CONSULTANT and the compensation for
such services will be as mutually agreed to in separate Task Orders to this agreement.
Each Task Order when fully executed shall become a supplement to and a part of this
agreement. Execution of the Task Order does not constitute a notice to proceed.
2.3.1 Each Task Order will be supported by appropriate cost and pricing data and such
other documentation as required by the COUNTY.
2.3.2 Task Orders shall be numbered consecutively as specified by COUNTY. Each
Task Order shall include a description of the scope of services and specified
deliverables, time of completion, total estimated costs of services, and method of
compensation. Additional information shall be provided to the COUNTY if
required. Amended Task Orders shall include substantially the same information
and be submitted to the COUNTY for approval.
2.3.3 Task orders shall be invoiced on a lump sum basis. No additional compensation
will be paid for the services performed on a task order unless the COUNTY
changes the Scope of Services.
2.3.4 In the event CONSULTANT is unable to complete the services because of delays
resulting from untimely review by County or other governmental authorities, and
such delays are not the fault of CONSULTANT, or because of delays which were
caused by factors outside the control of CONSULTANT, COUNTY shall grant a
reasonable extension of time for completion of the services and shall provide
reasonable compensation, if appropriate. It shall be the responsibility of
CONSULTANT to notify COUNTY within 10 days in writing whenever a delay
in approval by a governmental agency, including COUNTY, is anticipated or
experienced, and to inform the Contract Administrator of all facts and details
related to the delay.
2
2.3.5 The COUNTY may make or approve changes within the general Scope of
Services in any Task Order. If such changes affect the CONSULTANT's cost of
or time required for performance of the services, an equitable adjustment will be
made through an amendment to the Task Order.
2.3.6 A task order may be terminated at any time, with or without cause, by the
COUNTY upon thirty (30) days written notice to CONSULTANT. No further
work will be performed by CONSULTANT upon receipt of this notice unless
specifically authorized Contract Administrator in writing. Upon termination the
CONSULTANT will be paid for all authorized services performed up to the
termination date plus, if terminated at the convenience of the COUNTY,
reasonable expenses incurred during the close -out of the task order which have
been authorized by the COUNTY. The COUNTY will not pay anticipatory
profits.

authorized by the COUNTY in writing but not specifically described and
authorized by the task order.

by a Notice to Proceed issued by the Contract Administrator or his designee.

compensation, time of performance and other related matters for each Task Order. If
COUNTY and CONSULTANT cannot contractually agree, COUNTY shall have the
right to immediately terminate negotiations at no cost to COUNTY and procure services
for future Project Task Orders from another source.
2.5 CONSULTANT shall perform the professional services under this Agreement at the
level customary for competent and prudent professionals in CONSULTANT'S field
performing such services at the time and place where the services are provided. In the
event CONSULTANT does not comply with this standard, and omissions or errors are
made by CONSULTANT which require the expenditure of additional funds for
additional work by COUNTY, COUNTY has the option of reducing payment to
CONSULTANT or requiring the CONSULTANT to do the additional work.

a result of actions by an airport tenant or the airport tenant's employees, agents, invitees,
or licensees shall be borne by the airport tenant.

airport tenant with the applicable security requirements of Chapter 49, United States
Code, and 49 CFR 1540, et seq.
10.6 Airport Security Program. The airport tenant agrees to become familiar, to the extent

time to time, shall be automatically incorporated into this Agreement.
10.8 Breach of Agreement. Should TSA determine that the airport tenant or one or more of
the airport tenant's employees, agents, invitees, or licensees has committed an act or
omitted to act as required, and such act or omission is a violation which results in TSA

costs incurred in the investigation, defense, compromising, mitigation, or taking of
remedial action measures; and, further, the airport operator shall have the right to
unilaterally cancel this Agreement, such cancellation to be effective thirty calendar days

to the airport operator the total costs incurred by the airport operator, including any fines
or penalties imposed, in investigating, defending, compromising, mitigating, or taking of
remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited to
reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, compromising,
mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures; and, further, the airport operator shall
have the right to unilaterally cancel this Agreement, such cancellation to be effective
thirty calendar days after receipt by the airport tenant of written notice of cancellation of
this Agreement by the airport operator.
10.8.3 Maximum Violation. If the violation is the first violation attributed to the airport
tenant and is a civil penalty "maximum violation" as provided for in TSA's Enforcement
Sanction Guidance Policy, the airport tenant may cure the breach by paying to the airport
operator the total costs incurred by the airport operator, including any fines and penalties
imposed, in investigating, defending, compromising, mitigating, or taking of remedial
measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited to reasonable
attorney's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, compromising, mitigation,
or taking of remedial action measures; and, further, the airport tenant may cause all of
airport tenant's employees involved in the airport tenant's business operations on the
airport property to undergo such security training as may be required by the airport
operator. The total cost of the training shall be paid for by the airport tenant. If the
violation is a second violation, or there are multiple violations, that is or are a civil
penalty "maximum violation ", the airport tenant shall pay to the airport operator the total
costs incurred by the airport operator, including any fines or penalties imposed, in
investigating, defending, compromising, mitigating, or taking of remedial measures as
may be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited to reasonable attorney's fees and
costs incurred in the investigation, defense, compromising, mitigation, or taking of
remedial action measures; and, further, the airport operator shall have the right to
unilaterally cancel this Agreement, such cancellation to be effective thirty calendar days
after receipt by the airport tenant of written notice of cancellation of this Agreement by
the airport operator.
10.8.4 Mitigation of Breach. TSA has a policy of forgoing civil penalty actions when
the airport operator detects violations, promptly discloses the violations to TSA, and
takes prompt corrective action to ensure that the same or similar violations do not recur.
This policy is known as the TSA Voluntary Disclosure Program Policy, and is designed
to encourage compliance with TSA regulations, foster secure practices, and encourage
the development of internal evaluation programs. The airport tenant agrees that upon
detecting a violation the airport tenant will immediately report it to the airport operator.
Should the TSA ultimately determine that the violation was committed by the airport
tenant, or an employee, agent, invitee, or licensee of the airport tenant, but the violation
12
should result in the issuance of a letter of correction in lieu of a civil penalty, then the
airport tenant shall reimburse the airport operator the total costs incurred by the airport
operator in investigating, defending, mitigating, or taking of remedial measures as may
be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited to reasonable attorney's fees and costs
incurred in the investigation, defense, mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures.
A violation resulting in the issuance of a letter of correction shall not be considered to be
a breach of this Agreement by the airport tenant.
10.8.5 Survival of Sub - Section. This sub - section h shall survive the cancellation or
termination of this Agreement, and shall be in full force and effect.
ARTICLE 11
DBE Requirements
11.1 It is the policy of the COUNTY and the FAA on all federally funded contracts for
services that disadvantaged business enterprises, as defined in the Airport's Disadvantage
Business Enterprises (DBE) Program and as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 shall have the
maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts awarded by the
COUNTY, including but not limited to, contracts financed in whole or in part with
Federal funds under this Agreement. Consequently, the requirements of the Airport's
DBE Program Policy apply to this Agreement. As such, the CONSULTANT must
demonstrate good -faith efforts to provide DBEs an opportunity to participate in projects
funded under this agreement in accordance with the DBE Program.
11.2 Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon Airport have each established
a Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) Program for the purpose of increasing
contracting and procurement opportunities for DBEs. The Airport DBE Programs are
currently transitioning from annual DBE goals to multi -year DBE goals per current FAA
guidance. Both airports are firmly committed to effectively implementing their
respective DBE Programs. Over the past five (5) years, historical DBE goals have ranged
between ten percent (10 %) to twenty-five percent (25 %). The DBE goals for services will
be established on a project by project basis based on the type of project, funding,
availability of workforce, specialization of required services, and other factors in order to
meet each airport's multi -year goal.
11.3 The CONSULTANT shall not breach any of its obligations with the DBEs. The
CONSULTANT agrees that it cannot terminate a DBE subcontractor for convenience and
then perform the work with its own forces or its affiliate. In the event the
CONSULTANT desires to terminate or replace a DBE, the CONSULTANT shall
promptly notify the Contract Administrator of the impending termination, the reason for
the termination and obtain the Contract Administrator's approval prior to proceeding with
the termination. Following the termination, the CONSULTANT shall endeavor and
document a good faith effort to replace the terminated DBE with another similar certified
DBE. If the CONSULTANT is unable to utilize another DBE for the performance of that
portion of the Agreement, the CONSULTANT shall provide the Contract Administrator
with documentation, in a form satisfactory to the Contract Administrator, showing that it
is not possible to replace the terminated DBE with another DBE.
11.4 The CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the
award and administration of DOT - assisted contracts. Failure by the CONSULTANT to
13
carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in
the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as the COUNTY deems
appropriate.
11.5 A business certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) under the Florida
Unified Certification Program (FUCP) will be eligible to participate as a DBE on this
contract. Firms certified by the FUCP are noted as "UCP Cert. DBE" within the
respective firm profile available on Florida Department of Transportation's BizNet Site
at: hops: / /www3. dot. state. fl. us/ EqualOpportuniiyOffice /biznet/mainmenu.asp
11.6 The CONSULTANT shall pay its subconsultants, subcontractors and suppliers within fifteen
(15) calendar days following receipt of payment from the COUNTY for such subcontracted
work or supplies. The CONSULTANT agrees that if it withholds an amount as retainage
from its subconsultants, subcontractors or suppliers, that it will release such retainage and pay
same within fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of payment of retained amounts
from COUNTY, or within fifteen (15) calendar days after the subconsultant or subcontractor
has satisfactorily completed its work, whichever shall fast occur.
11.7 The CONSULTANT agrees that nonpayment of a subconsultant, subcontractor or supplier as
required by subparagraph 11.8 shall be a material breach of this Agreement and that
COUNTY may, at its option, increase allowable retainage or withhold progress payments
unless and until the CONSULTANT demonstrates timely payments of sums due to such
subconsultants, subcontractors or suppliers. The CONSULTANT agrees that the presence of
a "pay when paid" provision in a subcontract shall not preclude COUNTY's inquiry into
allegations of nonpayment. The foregoing remedies shall not be employed when
CONSULTANT demonstrates that failure to pay results from a bona fide dispute with its
subconsultant, subcontractor or supplier.
11.8 Compliance monitoring is conducted to determine if CONSULTANT and/or
subconsultants, subcontractors are complying with the requirements of the DBE
Program. The CONSULTANT agrees to furnish and provide the Contract Administrator
with DBE compliance and payment forms to provide information on interim DBE
Utilization; Certification of Payments to subconsultants and suppliers; and Final DBE
Utilization Forms using the form as may be provided by the Contract Administrator.
Failure of the CONSULTANT to comply with this provision may result in the COUNTY
imposing penalties or sanctions pursuant to the provisions of the DBE regulation, 49 CFR
Part 26.
11.9 COUNTY shall have access, without limitation, to CONSULTANT's books and records,
including payroll records, tax returns and records, and books of account, on five (5)
calendar days notice, to allow COUNTY to determine CONSULTANT's compliance
with its commitment to DBE participation goal and the status of any DBE performing any
portion of this Agreement.
