Any hardwood mulch (non-palm) created by the project may be used for the planting project(see Part 2) or may be disposed of in one of the following ways (as determined by the County Land Steward): 1. Spread evenly across the site (mulch may not be placed in wetlands or cover existing native vegetation); or 2. Removed from the site and properly disposed of at no cost to the County. All herbicide treatments shall be at least 95% effective in preventing re-sprout of treated plants. If 95% kill rate is not achieved for any area of the project after two (2) months past initial project completion; one additional treatment of the exotic plants in the problem area shall be the responsibility of the Contractor at no additional cost to the County. PART 2: NATIVE PLANTING PROJECT Once the invasive exotic plant removal portion of the project has been completed then the Contractor may begin the native planting project. The installation of plant material will require augering holes (or digging holes with backhoe or similar) and addition of organic soil (50150 mix or similar) as needed, as determined by Land Steward. Plants must be installed level with surrounding elevation; no mounding of soil. Mulch must be placed around all plantings (mulch supplied by the contractor) at approximately 2-3 inches in depth. Large trees must be staked/braced as needed. Piles of soil from digging holes must be spread out and not left in piles. This project is for the supply(total of 640 plants) and installation of said plant material on all sites. All plants must be landscape quality, with full canopy, and must meet the minimum specifications listed on the attached plant list.

SEVERABILITY. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement (or the application thereof to any circumstance or person) shall be declared invalid or unenforceable to any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, shall not be affected thereby; and each remaining term, covenant, condition and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law unless the enforcement of the remaining terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Agreement would prevent the accomplishment of the original intent of this Agreement. The County and Contractor agree to reform the Agreement to replace any stricken provision with a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken provision. 14. ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS. The County and Contractor agree that in the event any cause of action or administrative proceeding is initiated or defended by any parry relative to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, the prevailing parry shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, investigative, and out-of-pocket expenses, as an award against the non-prevailing parry, and shall include attorney's fees, courts costs, investigative, and out-of-pocket expenses in appellate proceedings. 15.

The meeting was made available to members of the public via Zoom. The following committee members were present: Beth Bergh, Monroe County Land Steward; Mark Rosch, Sr. Property Acquisition Specialist of the Monroe County Land Authority; and Mike Roberts, Asst Director, Monroe County Environmental Resources. No members of the public were in attendance. The selection committee reviewed the responses received for the RFP. The three responses received included the following prices: Blue Native of the Conch Tree and Florida Keys Landscape,Inc EarthBalance Corporation Total Bid $120,322.73 $83,103.00 $243,950.00 Price In accordance with the RFP, the total bid price was only one of six factors considered by the selection committee and accounted for 25 points out of a total of 59 possible points used in the evaluation process. The committee evaluated each proposal based on the criteria listed in the RFP, which included: general company information; experience with similar projects; ability to complete project within timeframe; cost; and project approach. Four points for"Local Preference" were awarded to Conch Tree and Landscape. Blue Native submitted the local preference form using a local business address, however they were not awarded points due to the fact that their principal business address on the Sunbiz.org website (State of Florida's Division of Corporations)is a Homestead, FL address. EarthBalance did not claim local preference. It was noted that Blue Native's submittal was lacking a lot of the information that was requested, specifically items listed in the RFP under Tabs 2 & 5. Additionally, the EarthBalance response included references to a previous County RFP for exotic removal work which may have affected the price they bid for the project as they included references to work outside the scope of the current project. The Conch Tree response was missing the County's Drug Free Workplace form. 3878 After discussion, each committee member, working independently, scored the three responses and a final tally was calculated. The final ranking was: 1. Conch Tree and Landscape.; 2. EarthBalance Corp; and 3. Blue Native of the Florida Keys. The selection committee unanimously agreed that Conch Tree and Landscape should be recommended to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners as the selected contractor for this project, contingent upon their submittal of the Drug Free Workplace form. The committee was willing to recommend waiving this minor irregularity once the form has been received. Additionally, the selection committee agreed that if a contract could not be negotiated with Conch Tree then the County should re-bid the project due to the price difference between the first and second ranked proposals. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 10 a.m. Minutes prepared by: '86M" gf Beth Bergh Monroe County Land Steward 3879 C) co co m o_ Co 0 = OL r3 cn 4� L- " 0 0 ca z uj -j z 0 ........................ cc '0 LLJ c (n cc a) z ns 0 F— cc D 0 .......................... ............................
