Turnkey Event Agreement
THIS Agreement is made and entered into by and between Monroe County, Florida, a
political subdivision of the State of Florida (County), and Race World Offshore, LLC (Event
Contractor) on this 20th day of October , 2021.
WHEREAS, The District Advisory Committee (DAC) has recommended to the Monroe
County Tourist Development Council (TDC), which has endorsed the recommendation, that
certain monies be allocated for promotion of an event, which has as one of its main purposes
the attraction of tourists, by Event Contractors; and
WHEREAS, the DAC recommends allocation of funds for RWO Offshore World
Championship in November 2022.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Payment: A Turnkey event shall be considered an all-inclusive event where the
Event Contractor has financial responsibility for every facet of the production, promotion and
management of the event. Payment under an agreement for a Turnkey event will be made
only after completion of the event and proof that the scope of services as described below in
paragraph 2 has been completed. If a Turnkey event is delayed or canceled for any reason,
no payment shall be forthcoming, even if the Event Contractor has out-of-pocket expenses
leading up to the actual event. The Monroe County Tourist Development Council (TDC),
therefore, strongly recommends that the Event Contractor purchase insurance that covers the
cancellation or delay of an event due to "force majeure" or unforeseen circumstances (see
paragraph 9).
The County agrees to pay $120,000 (One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars —
TDC District I Funding Allocation) for: RWO Offshore World Championship in November
2022, from tourist development tax funds upon receipt of documentation from Event
Contractor, on or before the expiration date of agreement in paragraph 3, that they have met
its obligations under this agreement. Said documentation shall also include samples of the
Event Contractor's marketing program as outlined in their application. Documentation
submitted by Event Contractor will be reviewed and verified by the Tourist Development
Council (TDC) Administrative Office, at which time, County shall pay the sum noted above.
Monroe County's performance and obligation to pay under this contract is contingent
upon an annual appropriation by the Board of County Commissioners.
2. Scope of Services: The Event Contractor agrees to provide the County with an
event as specified in the Scope of Services below (Event):
a) A week long World Championship Boat Race event to include three (3) race days;
downtown parade; spectator viewing; and awards party and concert
Event Name: RWO Offshore World Championship
Turnkey Funding: FY 2022
I D #: 2744

3. Expiration of Agreement: This agreement expires on January 29, 2023 unless
the date of the event is amended upon approval of the Advisory Committee and TDC Director
and the County shall not be obligated to pay for any services provided by Event Contractor
under this agreement if documentation as noted above is not received by the TDC
administrative office on or before this reimbursement deadline date.
4. Modification: The event name, time & date of the event and Schedule of
Activities may be amended upon written approval of the Advisory Committee and TDC
Director. Any changes to said contract other than stated above require approval by the
Advisory Committee, TDC and the County.
5. Non Occurrence of Event: The Event Contractor shall give written notice to the
TDC if it is found necessary to cancel an event. The notice shall contain the reason for the
cancellation.
6. Indemnification and Hold Harmless: The Event Contractor covenants and agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Monroe County, its officers, employees and agents
including the TDC and Visit Florida Keys from any and all claims for bodily injury (including
death), personal injury and property damage (including property owned by Monroe County)
and any other losses, damages and expenses (including attorney's fees) which arise out of, in
connection with, or by reason of the services provided by Event Contractor, or other activities
and funding associated with this agreement, except those losses or damages caused by the
negligent or wrongful act or omission of County or its agents.
7. Claims and Venue: Event Contractor agrees to notify County immediately of any
claims; suits or action made against the Event Contractor that is related to the activity under
this agreement, and will cooperate with County in the investigation arising as a result of any
action, suit or claim related to this agreement. Any legal proceedings arising out of this
agreement shall be in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida in the 16t" Judicial
Circuit for Monroe County; venue shall be in Monroe County, Florida.
8. Non-Waiver of Immunity: Notwithstanding the provisions of Sec. 768.28, Florida
Statutes, the participation of the Event Contractor and the County in this Agreement and the
acquisition of any commercial liability insurance coverage, self-insurance coverage, or local
government liability insurance pool coverage shall not be deemed a waiver of immunity to the
extent of liability coverage, nor shall any contract entered into by the County be required to
contain any provision for waiver.
9. Insurance Requirements: Event Contractor as a pre-requisite of the Special
Event governed by this agreement shall obtain, at its own expense, insurance as specified in
this section. If a Turnkey event is delayed or canceled for any reason, no payment shall be
forthcoming, even if the Event Contractor has out-of-pocket expenses leading up to the actual
event. The TDC, therefore, strongly recommends that the Event Contractor purchase
insurance that covers the cancellation or delay of an event due to "force majeure" or
unforeseen circumstances.

of the required insurance, either:
