5-Surtax-Funded Agreement Contract Terms.docx

This is a Surtax-Funded Agreement Contract Terms document issued by Broward County, Florida, outlining special conditions applicable to contracts funded through the County's transportation surtax. The document establishes the foundational fiscal and budgetary framework governing the Transit Bus Stop ADA Improvements project, which involves the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act compliant landing pads and transit amenities (including benches, trash cans, and bike racks) at bus stop sites throughout Broward County. The scope of work encompasses all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services required to construct sidewalks, bus stop landing areas, and curbs in accordance with specified requirements. The contract operates on a Broward County fiscal year basis (October 1 through September 30), with continuation beyond each fiscal year subject to appropriation and fund availability pursuant to Chapter 212, Florida Statutes.

Funding for this contract is exclusively derived from the transportation surtax levied under Section 212.055(1), Florida Statutes, with no obligation for the County to utilize ad valorem funds or other revenue sources if budgeted surtax proceeds are unavailable or unappropriated. The County retains the right to terminate the agreement if surtax funding cannot be secured. All work funded through the transportation surtax must comply with permitted uses under Section 212.055(1)(d), Florida Statutes. Additionally, any artistic or design elements incorporated into the project must be determined eligible for surtax funding by the County, with restrictions on public art and design elements that do not meet surtax funding criteria.
