7-Agreement Exceptions - RFP-RFQ-RLI.docx

This is an Agreement Exceptions form for a Request for Proposal issued by Broward County Transportation Department (BCT) in Florida for consulting services supporting the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Program. The BRT Program is part of BCT's Premium Mobility (PREMO) initiative and encompasses six corridors totaling approximately 76 miles. BCT intends to award contracts to up to three qualified firms to provide professional, technical, and project management consulting services necessary to advance BRT capital projects through all phases including planning, design, procurement, construction, and implementation. The form was dated September 9, 2024, and requires vendors to submit completed exceptions documentation with their solicitation responses or face deemed acceptance of all contract terms and conditions stated in the solicitation.

The form provides vendors with an opportunity to document any exceptions or proposed modifications to contract terms and conditions, with each exception requiring identification of the relevant article/section number and justification for the proposed change. Procurement will be conducted under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (Section 287.055, Florida Statutes) and will be funded through County Surtax revenue. A conflict of interest provision prohibits the successful consultant and its subconsultants from competing for subsequent County procurements that directly result from the consultant's deliverables, recommendations, or specifications unless the future work is wholly unrelated to the original scope. County and State license requirements and FTA requirements apply to this solicitation.
