Summary

This is a Services Agreement template document from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) for use in contracting services with external vendors. The agreement establishes the framework for service delivery under multiple compensation models, including lump sum fixed price, fixed fee with reimbursables, time and materials with a not-to-exceed amount, and hybrid pricing structures. The contract specifies that the Owner may terminate services at its sole discretion with seven days' written notice, with compensation limited to work performed through the termination date. The agreement incorporates Exhibit A (Scope of Services and Rate Schedule) and Exhibit B (Special Contract Conditions) as binding contract documents, with the main agreement terms superseding any conflicting terms in the exhibits.

The compensation structure varies based on the pricing model selected, with monthly invoicing and payment requirements specified for all arrangements. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including minimum $1,000,000 commercial general liability and automobile liability coverage, workers' compensation, umbrella liability of at least $1,000,000, and industry-specific policies (professional liability, pollution liability) where applicable. The contractor assumes full responsibility for safety compliance, including adherence to OSHA standards, fall protection protocols, confined space entry procedures, electrical safety standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and hazardous waste management. The contract includes extensive safety conditions in Exhibit B covering PPE requirements, trenching and excavation standards, utility locate procedures, mobile crane operations, and specialized work such as diving operations. All work products created under the agreement become the exclusive property of CFTOD, and contractors must comply with Florida Public Records Act requirements and E-Verify employment verification procedures. The agreement is governed by Florida law with exclusive jurisdiction in Orange County Circuit Court.
