GARDENS OF EDEN

day of December, 2014, by and between Monroe County, a political subdivision of the State of

33040 and Gardens Of Eden of the Florida Keys, a Florida Corporation (hereafter Contractor),
whose address is 92 Bay Drive Key West, Florida 33040. The parties hereto, for the
considerations herein set forth, mutually agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF WORK.
a) The Contractor shall provide landscaping services at the Key West International

all of the work described in the Specifications (Exhibit A). The Contractor shall insure all
exterior doors are locked upon their departure after business hours,
b) The Contractor shall become familiar with and shall be responsible for compliance
with Part 139 Certification of Airports, specifically, Part 139.307, Unpaved Areas; Part

2. CONTRACT SUM. The County shall pay the Contractor for the faithful
performance of said service on a per week in arrears basis during the ten-n of the Contract. The
Contractor shall invoice KWIA weekly for landscaping services performed under the
Specifications contained herein. The total Contract amount shall not exceed $114,045.
Contractor shall submit to County invoices with supporting documentation acceptable to the
Clerk, on a weekly schedule in arrears. Acceptability to the Clerk is based on generally accepted
accounting principles and such laws, rules and regulations as may govern the Clerk's disbursal of
funds. County's perfon-nance and obligation to pay under this agreement, is contingent upon
annual appropriation by the Board of County Commissioners.
3. CONTRACTOR'S ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITIONS.
a) The Contractor hereby agrees that he has carefully examined the sites and has
made investigations to fully satisfy himselfherself that such sites are correct and suitable ones
for this work and he/she assumes full responsibility therefore. The provisions of this Agreement
shall control any inconsistent provisions contained in the Specifications. All Specifications have
been read and carefully considered by the Contractor, who understands the same and agrees to
their sufficiency for the work to be done. Under no circumstances, conditions, or situations
shall this Contract be more strongly construed against the County than against the Contractor
(and his Surety, if applicable).
b) Any ambiguity or uncertainty in the Specifications shall be interpreted and
construed by the Airport Manager, and his decision shall be final and binding upon all parties.
C) The passing, approval, and/or acceptance of any part of the work or material by
the County shall not operate as a waiver by the County of strict compliance with the terms of
this Agreement, and Specifications covering said work. Failure on the part of the Contractor,
immediately after Notice to correct workmanship shall entitle the County, if it sees fit, to
correct the same and recover the reasonable cost of such remediation work and/or repair from
the Contractor, who shall in any event be jointly and severally liable to the County for all
damage, loss, and expense caused to the County by reasons of the Contr,actor's, breach of this
Agreement and/or his failure to comply strictly and in all things with this Agreement and with
the Specifications.
4. TERM OF CONTRACT/RENEWAL.
a) This Contract shall commence on January 19, 2015 and shall terminate upon 30
days written notice provided by the County.
b) Should additional services be required at KWIA, the additional specific tasks,
and costs for these tasks, will be mutually agreed upon in writing, and approved by the Airport
Manager and by the Contractor.
5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. At all times and for all purposes under this
Agreement the Contractor is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Board of
County Commissioners for Monroe County. No statement contained in this Agreement shall be
construed so as to find the Contractor or any of his/her employees, sub-contractors, servants, or
agents to be employees of the Board of County Commissioners for Monroe County.
6. ASSIGNMENT. The Contractor shall not assign this Agreement, except in writing
and with the prior written approval of the Board of County Commissioners for Monroe
County, which approval shall be subject to such conditions .and provisions as the Board may
deem necessary. This Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into any assignment and
any assignee shall comply with all of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless expressly
provided for therein, such approval shall in no manner or event be deemed to impose any
obligation upon the Board in addition to the total agreed-upon price of the services/goods of
the contractor.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. In providing all services/goods pursuant to
this Agreement, the contractor shall abide by all statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations
pertaining to, or regulating the provisions of, such services, including those now in effect and
hereinafter adopted. Any violation of said statutes, ordinances, rules and regulation shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Board to terminate this
contract immediately upon delivery of written notice of termination to the contractor. The
Contractor shall possess proper licenses to perform work in accordance with these
specifications throughout the to oft `s contract.
8. INSURANCE. Prior to execution of this Agreement, the Contractor shall furnish to
the County Certificates of Insurance for the following coverage:
Worker's Compensation - $100,000 Bodily Injury by Accident-, $500,000 Bodily

Injury by Disease, each employee
Vehicle Liability- $100,000 combined single limit
General Liability- $300,000 combined single limit
Employee Dishonesty- $100,000
a) Certificates of Insurance must be provided to Monroe County prior to execution of this
Agreement and within fifteen days after award of proposal, with Monroe County BOCC listed as
additionally insured on all except Workers Compensation. Thereafter, the Contractor must keep
in full force and effect all of the insurance coverages listed above during the ten-n of this
Agreement. If the insurance policies originally purchased that meet the requirements are
canceled, tenninated or reduced in coverage, then the Contractor must immediately substitute
complying policies so that no gap in coverage occurs.
b) All fonns of insurance required above shall be from insurers acceptable to the County.
c) All insurance policies must specify that they are not subject to cancellation, non-
renewal, material change, or reduction in coverage unless a minimum of thirty days prior
notification is given to the County by the insurer.
d) The insurance required of the Contractor by the terns of this Agreement is for the
protection of the County, its property and employees, and the general public. The insurance
requirement is not, however, for the protection of any specific member of the general public who
might be injured because of an act or omission of the Contractor. The insurance requirements do
not make any specific injured member of the general public a third party beneficiary under this
Agreement. Therefore, any failure by the County to enforce these insurance requirements, or
terminate this Contract if the Contractor becomes uninsured or underinsured, is not a breach of
any duty or obligation owed to any specific member of the general public and cannot form the
basis of any County liability to a specific member of the general public or his/her dependents, or
estate or heirs,
e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 34, the County may immediately treat the
Contractor in default if the Contractor fails to maintain the insurance required by this paragraph
8. Before ten-ninating the agreement in this situation, the County need only provide the
Contractor 24-hour notice by FAX or overnight courier. The County may, but need not, provide
the Contractor with an opportunity to cure the default.

insurance requirements prescribed elsewhere in this agreement, Contractor shall defend,
indemnify and hold the County and the County's elected and appointed officers and employees

asserted against, initiated with respect to, or sustained by, any indemnified party by reason of, or

lease, except to the extent the claims, actions, causes of action, litigation, proceedings, costs or
expenses arise from the intentional or sole negligent acts or omissions of the County or any of its
employees, agents, contractors or invitees (other than Contractor). Insofar as the claims, actions,
causes of action, litigation, proceedings, costs or expenses relate to events or circumstances that
occur during the ten-n of this Agreement, this section will survive the expiration of the terrn of

primarily responsible for overseeing the security measures utilized by the airport owner
pursuant to the relevant provisions of Chapter 49, United States Code, and regulations adopted
under the authority of the Code, including but not limited to 49 CFR 1540, et seq. Violations of
the statutes or regulations may result in severe civil monetary penalties being assessed against
the airport operator. It is the intent of the airport operator that the burdens and consequences of
any security violations imposed upon the airport operator as a result of actions by an airport
tenant or the airport tenant's employees, agents, invitees, or licensees shall be home by the
airport tenant.
b) Airport Tenant Defined. An airport tenant means any person, entity, organization,
partnership, corporation, or other legal association that has an agreement with the airport
operator to conduct business on airport property. The teen also includes an airport tenant as
defined in 49 CFR 1540.5. Each signatory to this Agreement, other than the airport operator, is
an airport tenant.
c) Airport Operator Defined. As used in this Agreement, airport operator rneans
Monroe County, Florida, its elected and appointed officers, and its employees.
d) Airport Property Defined. Airport property shall mean the property owned or
leased by, or being lawfully used by, the airport operator for civil aviation and airport-related
purposes. For purposes of this Agreement, airport property is the property generally referred to
as the Key West Airport, the Marathon Airport, or both as may be set forth in this Agreement.
e) Inspection Authority. The airport tenant agrees to allow Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) authorized personnel, at any time or any place, to make inspections or
tests, including copying records, to deten-nine compliance of the airport operator or airport
tenant with the applicable security requirements of Chapter 49, United States Code, and 49
CFR 1540, et seq.
I) Airport Security Pro�gram. The airport tenant agrees to become familiar, to the
extent pen-nitted by the airport operator•, with the Airport Security Program promulgated by the
airport operator and approved by TSA, and also agrees to conform its' operations and business
activities to the requirements of the Airport Security Program.
g) Tenant Security Program. If pen-nitted under TSA regulations, the airport tenant
may voluntarily undertake to maintain an Airport Tenant Security Program as referred to in 49
CFI 1542.113. If the airport tenant voluntarily promulgates an Airport Tenant Security
Program that is approved by TSA, such program, as may be amended and approved from time
to time, shall be autornatically incorporated into this Agreement.
h) Breach of Agreement. Should TSA deten-nine 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 imposing a civil
penalty against the airport operator in accordance with TSA's Enforcement Sanction Guidance
Policy, such determination and imposition of a civil penalty by TSA shall be considered a
significant breach of this Agreement.
(1). Minimum Violation. If the violation is the first or second violation
attributed to the airport tenant and is a civil penalty ",minimum violation" as provided for in
TSA's Enforcement Sanction Guidance Policy, the airport tenant may cure the breach by

fines or penalties imposed, in investigating, defending, mitigating, compromising, or taking of
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, cornpromising, 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.
(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.
7'his 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 prograrns. The airport tenant agrees that upon detecting a
violation the airport tenant will immediately report it to the airport operator. Should the TSA
ultimately deten-nine that the violation was committed by the airport tenant, or an employee,
agent, invitee, or licensee of the airport tenant, but the violation 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.
