authorizes agreements and other transactions on such terms and conditions as the Administrator determines necessary.
(End of Article)
ARTICLE III -INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND, PURPOSE AND SCOPE(AUG 2018)
A. Introduction
The Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Program(LEO RP)was established to provide partial reimbursement to airport
operators to provide on-site, highly visible LEO presence through flexible,fixed, or a combination of the two(hybrid)support of
the passenger screening checkpoint. State and local LE agencies play a critical role in security at airports. They are the
primary responders to any incident within the airport perimeter.
B. Background
On November 19,2001, the President and Congress enacted ATSA, which established TSA as a new Federal agency.ATSA
provides authority to the Administrator of TSA to carry out chapter 449 of Title 49 United States Code relating to civil aviation
security, including responsibility for ordering the deployment of law enforcement personnel at each airport security passenger-
screening location to ensure passenger safety and national security.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §44903(c)and 49 C.F.R. Part 1542, each airport operator is required to establish an air transportation
security program that provides a law enforcement presence and capability at the airport that is adequate to ensure the safety
of passengers.This Agreement is part of the joint effort of TSA and the airport operator to deploy sufficient LEOs in support of
passenger screening activities at the checkpoint to meet their dual responsibility to ensure the safety of passengers and to
counter risks to transportation security.
C. Purpose of this Agreement
I. The Participant agrees to maintain a law enforcement presence and response that is adequate to support each system
for screening persons and accessible property;focused on passenger screening checkpoint support. This law enforcement
presence provides for the safety and security of persons and property against an act of criminal violence or aircraft piracy, and
assists in preventing the introduction of TSA prohibited items. Both the Participant and TSA recognize that there is a broad
range of activities that LEOs engage in at the nation's airports, many of which are outside the scope of this Agreement.
Funding under this Agreement is intended to support a dedicated highly visible LEO presence through on-site flexible,fixed,
or a combination of the two(hybrid) LEO stationing of the TSA screening checkpoints. For the purposes of this Agreement the
acceptable LEO stationing postures are defined as follows:
a. Fixed Stationing-The on-site LEO is stationed in the TSA passenger screening checkpoint during screening
operations.
b. Flexible Stationing-The on-site LEO is stationed in the vicinity/close proximity of the TSA passenger screening
70T02021T6114N111
Page 4 of 11
checkpoint, providing an enhanced visible presence/support at the checkpoint.
C. Hybrid/Combination Stationing-A form of on-site LEO stationing involving both fixed and flexible stationing, which
provides a combination of highly visible LEO presence in the checkpoint and in the vicinity/close proximity of the checkpoint.
These Agreements are intended to be customized in order to address airport-specific security requirements, and are updated
as necessary based on changing circumstances. Such changes and revisions are to be made by the cognizant TSA Federal
Security Director(FSD), in consultation with the airport operator and other stakeholders as appropriate. Therefore, many
OTAs call for the flexible stationing of LEOs, while others require a combination of fixed and flexible(hybrid)stationing.
II. At a minimum the Participant will ensure that the Law Enforcement(LE)service provider:
a. Supports TSA's screening operations, including dealing with attempts to bring prohibited items through the checkpoint,
disorderly persons and similar tasks.
b. Follows an established LE response standard which is mutually acceptable to the FSD, Participant and LE service
provider.
C. Participates in TSA's Layered Security Programs(appropriate level of participation to be determined by the FSD and
Participant).
d. Provides a minimum of 730 LE support hours per year.
e. Provides consistent LE support during the hours of TSA checkpoint operations.
III. The Participant agrees to maintain a sufficient number of LEOs at or in the vicinity/close proximity of the checkpoint(s)
during the hours of TSA screening checkpoint operations each day. For LEO RP purposes, LEO support of screening begins
up to 1 hour prior to scheduled departure and remains up to 30 minutes after wheels up. The specific number of LEDs and the
number of hours assigned to provide dedicated support to the passenger screening checkpoints must be identified in the
submission.
IV. The Participant will assist in the verification of LEO credentials as requested by the FSD or other TSA representative.
V. The Participant will promptly provide incident reports, police reports, and other information when requested by TSA as
part of a regulatory investigation.
VI. The Participant will fully cooperate with regulatory investigations.
VII. The Participant shall coordinate all media releases related to the Agreement with the FSD; other contact with or by
media on the terms and conditions of the LEO Reimbursement Agreement shall be referred to the Contracting Officer.
Vill. Additional Airport Specific Requirements(these requirements will be mutually defined and accepted by both the FSD
and the Participant): Describe any specific LEO support to be provided under this Agreement that is not included elsewhere in
the Statement of Joint Objectives(SOJO)which supports TSA screening activities. Such support, based on the specific
characteristics and security requirements of the airport, could include but is not limited to:
a. LEO patrol of a particular area.
b. Unique assistance to local TSA.
Note that such additional activities should only include those which are being performed during periods of TSA screening
operations, and which do not interfere with the LEOs'ability to provide immediate response to incidents at the screening
checkpoints. For the purposes of this Agreement, LEO response times in excess of 5 minutes are unacceptable. If utilizing
Flexible Stationing or Hybrid/Combination Stationing, Participant must include specific LE response times to non-emergency/
routine TSA calls for assistance and details of LEO support being provided in support of passenger screening in this section.
IX. (REQUIRED) PARAGRAPH TO BE COMPLETED BY THE FSD, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE PARTICIPANT: If
utilizing Flexible Stationing or Hybrid/Combination Stationing: Participant must describe specific LE response times to non-
emergency/routine TSA calls for assistance and details of LEO support being provided in support of passenger screening.
(End of Article)
ARTICLE IV-RESPONSIBILITIES (AUG 2018)
The Participant agrees to provide on-site qualified law enforcement services, during TSA screening checkpoint operating
hours, and to provide law enforcement support to the passenger-screening checkpoints in keeping with requirements provided
70T02021T6114N111
Page 5 of 11
by TSA in accordance with the current Security Directive 1542-01-07(series), regulations,and other authorities regarding law
enforcement services.
Both the Participant and TSA recognize that there is a broad range of activities that Law Enforcement Officers(LEOs)engage
in at the nation's airports, many of which are outside the scope of this Agreement. Funding provided under this Agreement is
intended to support a highly visible LEO presence through on-site flexible,fixed, or a combination of the two(hybrid)l LEO
support of the TSA screening checkpoints(as determined by the TSA Federal Security Director(FSD), in consultation with the
Participant).The FSD, in consultation with the Participant, may direct a change in how the checkpoint is stationed as
necessary based on changes in threat levels, surges, seasonality, and/or other circumstances.
At locations where the Agreement allows for such flexible or hybrid stationing and it is appropriate based on security needs
and the configuration of the airport, LEOs may patrol in front of screening checkpoints, throughout baggage drop areas, near
retail and food concessions, and in other public areas. However, in order to be eligible for partial reimbursement by the LEO
RP the primary focus of the officers'activities must still be on providing dedicated checkpoint support. Program participants
are required to provide a consistent, highly visible law enforcement presence at the checkpoint(s)during operational hours.
Unless a waiver has been granted2 in writing from an authorized TSA official, regardless of their position or title any individual
who provides law enforcement support as outlined in this Agreement must possess all of the qualifications of a LEO set forth
at 49 C.F.R. § 1542.217, while on duty at the airport. The TSA will provide partial reimbursement for on-site support of the
TSA screening activities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.At a minimum the Participant will ensure that the Law
Enforcement(LE)service provider will:
0 Provide consistent support of TSA's screening operations, including dealing with
attempts to bring prohibited items through the checkpoint, disorderly persons and similar
tasks.
0 Follow an established LE response standard which is mutually acceptable to the FSD,
Participant and LE service provider.
In addition, the FSD and the Participant will determine, where appropriate, the level of participation in TSA's Layered Security
Programs,such as Advanced Threat Local Allocation Strategy(ATLAS), Table Top Exercises, Breach Drills, and Joint
Vulnerability Assessments(JVAs).
Additional, airport specific requirements/reimbursable activities will be outlined in the Statement of Joint Objectives.

(End of Article)
ARTICLE V-EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM
The Agreement will have a one(1)year base funding period, beginning on the effective date of award.At the conclusion of
the base funding period, it is the TSA's intent to unilaterally provide two additional one(1)year funding periods,for a total of
three(3)years. The TSA reserves the right to unilaterally fund the Agreements beyond this period, however, in no
circumstances will the Agreement be funded longer than five(5)years.
ARTICLE VII -OBLIGATION AND PAYMENT(AUG 2018)
A. Obligation.
The Government's liability to make payments to the Awardee is limited to only those funds obligated under this Agreement or
by amendment to the Agreement.
B. Limitation of Government Obligation.
The Government's share for full performance of this Agreement is$353,585.45. Of this amount, only$29,061.82 is allotted
and currently available for payment. In no event is the Government obligated to reimburse KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT for expenditures in excess of the total funds currently allotted by the Government. The Government anticipates that
from time to time additional amounts will be allotted to this Agreement by unilateral modification, until the total Government
share is fully funded. However, the Government cannot guarantee full funding.
The entities agree that if additional funds are not allotted, this Agreement may be terminated. KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL
70T02021T6114N111
Page 6 of 11
AIRPORT is not obligated to continue performance or otherwise incur costs in excess of the amount then allotted by the
Government to the Contracting Officer, plus KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT's corresponding share (if any), until the
Contracting Officer notifies KEY WEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT in writing that the amount allotted by the Government to
the Agreement is increased.
No Contracting Officer or employee of the Government may create or authorize an obligation in excess of the funds available,
or in advance of appropriations(Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341), unless otherwise authorized by law.
It is likely that the TSA will develop a maximum rate that will be used for reimbursement purposes. Reimbursement may be at
this rate or at the actual cost, whichever is the lesser of the two. This maximum rate will be based on information that will not
be available until the submission review process. The TSA reserves the right to modify the maximum rate during the period of
performance as necessary to optimize the impact of the program. Currently the maximum hourly rate for reimbursement is
actual costs not-to-exceed $20.00/hr.

agreements related to the performance of this agreement. For purposes of this OTA, the ENTITY NAME KEY WEST
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT would fall under the provision of 49 CFR§ 1520.7(k): Each person employed by, contracted to,
or acting for a covered person, including a grantee of DHS or DOT, and including a person formerly in such position.
Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. Part 1520.9(a)(3),the Agreement Holder must contact SSI@tsa.dhs.gov for guidance on handling
requests to access to SSI (before using SSI materials)for any other purpose besides activities falling within the scope of the
agreement by other persons, including requests from experts, consultants, and legal counsel("requesters") hired by the
Agreement Holder. The Agreement Holder shall include the Contracting Officer(CO)and Contracting Officer Representative
(COR)as a carbon copy"cc"recipient of its contact to SSI@tsa.dhs.gov. The TSA SSI office must first make a determination
as to whether the requesters are a "covered person"with a"need to know" under 49 C.F.R. Parts 1520.7 and 1520.11.
Further recipients of SSI shall be provided NDAs, in accordance with these contract provisions, and with a copy of the SSI
Quick Reference Guide for DHS Employees and Contractors.
(Non-Disclosure Agreements(NDAs). The Contracting Officer will provide the non-disclosure form (DHS Form 11000-6), as
necessary, to the Agreement holder when circumstances warrant. NDAs are required to be signed by all OTA personnel
when access to SSI is necessary for performance of the agreement. By signing the NDA,the recipient certifies in writing that
they will take the necessary steps to prevent the unauthorized disclosure and use of information.
Breach. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 1520.9(c),the Agreement holder agrees that in the event of any actual or
suspected breach of SSI (i.e., loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure,access for an unauthorized purpose,or
other unauthorized access, whether physical or electronic), the Agreement holder shall immediately, and in no event later than
one hour of discovery, report the breach to the Contracting Officer and the COR. The Agreement holder is responsible for
positively verifying that notification is received and acknowledged by at least one

This Agreement may include terms above and beyond regulatory requirements, to include those
outlined in an Airport Security Program (ASP). Any such terms are intended to supplement,
rather than replace or modify, applicable regulatory requirements. Nothing in this Agreement
diminishes, eliminates, or otherwise affects the Participant's obligation to adhere to regulatory
and other mandated requirements.
The authority to enter into this Agreement is granted by 49 U.S.C. §§ 106(I) and (m), as
well as 49 U.S.C. § 114(m). TSA has programmatic authority for the activities undertaken
in this Agreement pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §§ 44901(h), 44903(c) and 44922(f), along with 49
C.F.R. §§ 1542.215 and 1544.103. The effective date of the Agreement will be the date of
signature by the TSA Contracting Officer.
This Statement of Joint Objectives (SOJO)/Attachment 1 can and should be modified as
appropriate to adequately support operational requirements. However, in order for any
such modification to be effective, it must be signed by both the Participant and an
authorized TSA official. Any modification affecting the funding of this Agreement requires
the specific written authorization of the TSA Contracting Officer.
The Participant agrees to provide qualified law enforcement services, through the Monroe
County Sheriffs Office on-site at EYW during TSA screening checkpoint operating hours, and
to provide law enforcement support to the passenger-screening checkpoints in keeping with
requirements provided by TSA in accordance with the current Security Directive 1542 (series),
regulations, and other authorities regarding law enforcement services.
Both the Participant and TSA recognize that there is a broad range of activities that Law
Enforcement Officers (LEOs) engage in at the nation's airports, many of which are outside the
scope of this Agreement. Funding provided under this Agreement is intended to support a
highly visible LEO presence through on-site flexible,fixed, or a combination of the two(hybrid),
LEO support of the TSA screening checkpoints (as determined by the TSA Federal Security
Director (FSD), in consultation with the Participant). The FSD, in consultation with the
Participant, may direct a change in how the checkpoint is stationed as necessary based on
changes in threat levels, surges, seasonality, and/or other circumstances.
Unless a waiver has been granted in writing from an authorized TSA official, regardless of their
position or title any individual who provides law enforcement support as outlined in this
1 Refer to LEO Reimbursement Terminology(Attachment 2)for definitions of these terms.
Only Category III and Category IV airports may be eligible for reimbursement for their provision of Armed Security
Guards who do not fully meet all of the qualifications set forth in 49 C.F.R.§ 1542.217. TSA has sole discretion and
authority in determining whether the qualifications of any such individuals proposed by an airport are sufficient for
Program purposes.

TSA screening activities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. At a minimum the Participant
will ensure that the Law Enforcement (LE) service provider will:
➢ Provide consistent support of TSA's screening operations, including
responding in person to calls involving attempts to bring prohibited items
through the checkpoint, suspicious persons, suspicious circumstances,
duress alarms, disorderly persons, and similar incidents and tasks.
➢ Follow an established LE response standard which is mutually acceptable
to the FSD, Participant and LE service provider.
In addition, the FSD and the Participant will determine, where appropriate, the level of
participation in TSA's Layered Security Programs, such as Advanced Threat Local Allocation
Strategy (ATLAS), Table Top Exercises, Breach Drills, and Joint Vulnerability Assessments
(JVAs).
Payment is subject to the availability of appropriated funds and compliance with the
requirements of the applicable Security Directive(s), regulations, the ASP, and other authorities
regarding LE services as noted above. Should the Participant fail to comply with the provisions
outlined in this Agreement, it may face full or partial forfeiture of payment and/or sanctions up to
removal from the Program. The Participant may be given up to 60 days to take corrective
action(s) and rectify any identified compliance issue(s).
