Bidders attend the online pre-bid conference. No claim of ignorance by the Bidder of conditions

This contract will commence upon execution by both parties which shall be effective succeeding

Notice of Award letter; and contingent upon the completion and submittal of all required proposal
documents. This contract shall remain in effect for an initial two (2) years, with the intent to
commence on November 1, 2024; provided that the services rendered by the Bidder during the
contract period are satisfactory.
2.5.1 Contract Extension: It is hereby agreed and understood that this contract may be extended
for an additional thirty (30) day transitional period after the stated expiration date of the contract
including any contract extensions exercised under the initially established option period terms of
the contract. During this transitional period the Bidder agrees to continue the same or a reduced
level (if such reduction is mutually agreed to and appropriately documented) of service to the City
at the same prices while the new contract, also in force, is being mobilized. If the Bidder is
supplying equipment in conjunction with this contract, the Bidder agrees to retain the equipment
at the designated City premise for an additional thirty (30) calendar days after the current

Prior to, or upon completion of that initial term, the City shall have the option at its sole discretion
to renew this contract for three (3) additional one-year renewal terms. Prior to completion of

not exceed 5%. For any adjustment to commence on the first day of any exercised option period,
the Bidder’s request for adjustment shall be submitted no later than ninety (90) days prior to
expiration of the then current contract term. In no event will the price be increased or decreased
by a percentage greater than the percentage change reflected in the C.P.I. as published by the

assume that the Bidder has agreed the optional term may be exercised without pricing
adjustment. Any adjustment request received after the commencement of a new option period
may not be considered.
The City reserves the right to negotiate lower pricing for the additional term(s) based on market

reduction in pricing for the additional term(s) based on the downward movement of the
applicable index.
The City reserves the right to reject any price adjustments submitted by the Bidder and/or to not
exercise any otherwise available option period based on the proposed price adjustments. Any
continuation of the contract beyond the initial period, and any option subsequently exercised
shall be at the sole discretion of the City, and not a right of the Bidder. Renewals shall be exercised
only when such continuation is clearly in the best interest of the City.
Should the Bidder decline the City’s right to exercise the option period, the City may consider the
Bidder in default, which may affect the Bidder’s eligibility for future contracts.

unloading its contents without the assistance of other equipment, be equipped with a tailgate that
will effectively contain the debris during transport and permit the truck to be filled to capacity.
Under no circumstances will the Contractor(s) mix debris hauled for others with debris hauled
under this contract.

SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133(3)(a)
FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) (a) of Section 287.133, Florida State Statutes - "A person or affiliate
who has been placed on the convicted vendor list following a conviction for a public entity crime may not submit a
Bid on a Contract to provide any goods or services to a public entity, may not submit a Bid on a Contract with a
public entity for the construction or repair of a public building or public Work, may not submit Bids on leases of
real property to a public entity, may not be awarded to perform Work as a Contractor, supplier, Sub-Contractor, or
Consultant under a Contract with any public entity, and may not transact business with any public entity in excess
of the threshold amount Category Two of Sec. 287.017, FS for thirty six months from the date of being placed on
the convicted vendor list".
THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER
OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.
11.1. This sworn statement is submitted to City of Sunny Isles Beach _____________
by____________________________________________________________________________
[print individual’s name and title]
for____________________________________________________________________________
[print name of entity submitting sworn statement]
whose business address is:
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification number (FEIN) is_____________________.
(If the entity had no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn
statement:_________________________________.)
11.2. I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a
violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of
business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the
United States, including, but not limited to, any Bid or Contract for goods or services to be provided to any
public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state of the United States and involving
antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
11.3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(b), Florida Statutes, means a
finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any
federal or state trail court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1,
1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
11.4. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means:
a.) predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
b.) Any entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity
and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers,
directors, executors, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in
the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling
interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair
DECEMBER 28, 2010
market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prime facie case that one person
controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who
has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be
considered an affiliate.
11.5. I understand that a "person" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(e), Florida Statutes, means any natural
person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to
enter into a binding Contract and which Bids or applies to Bid on Contracts for the provision of goods or
services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public
entity. The term "persons" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders,
employees, members, and agents who are active in management of any entity.
11.6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity
submitting this sworn statement. (Indicate which statement applies.)
____ Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of it's officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989.
____ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989.
____ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of
Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer of the
State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer
determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the
convicted vendor list. (Attach a copy of the final order.)
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE
PUBLIC ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 11.1 (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY AND,
THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED. I
ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM REQUIRED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ENTITY PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO
A CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF THE THRESHOLD AMOUNT PROVIDED IN SECTION 287.017, FLORIDA
