8-Surtax-Funded Agreement Contract Terms.docx

This document presents Surtax-Funded Agreement Contract Terms established by Broward County, Florida, detailing the specific conditions and requirements applicable to contracts partially or wholly funded through the county's transportation surtax levied under Section 212.055(1), Florida Statutes. The terms apply to the Royal Palm Boulevard project in Coral Springs, Florida, which involves roadway widening, milling and resurfacing, raised curb median construction, sidewalk replacement, ADA compliance upgrades for curb ramps and driveways, signing and pavement marking upgrades, pedestrian crossing signal upgrades, and mast arm installation. The project is funded through a combination of Federal Highway Administration funds administered by the Florida Department of Transportation and Broward County Transportation Surtax funds. Vendors are required to submit solicitation responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time.

The agreement establishes that continuation beyond each Broward County fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) is contingent upon appropriation and availability of funds under Chapter 212, Florida Statutes. Transportation surtax-funded portions shall be paid exclusively from surtax proceeds, and the County retains the right to terminate the agreement if budgeted surtax funds are not available or appropriated, without obligation to substitute ad valorem or other revenue sources. All surtax-funded work must comply with allowable purposes under Section 212.055(1)(d), Florida Statutes. Additionally, if the contract is funded wholly or partially with surtax proceeds, only artistic elements determined eligible for surtax funding by the County may be funded through the surtax, with no public art or design elements permitted unless meeting these specific criteria.
