About this file
This document is a Base Agreement between the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, and a prospective scooter share program operator. The agreement establishes the terms for a three-year micromobility license, with an option to extend for an additional two-year period, allowing the operator to deploy and manage electric scooters within the city's designated parking areas. The operator will be responsible for the complete setup, including purchasing scooters and installing necessary equipment, as well as managing, operating, maintaining, and marketing the Scooter Share Program. The program will operate within the city's rights-of-way, with scooters available for public use on streets and sidewalks, subject to specific regulatory guidelines such as speed limits and parking restrictions.
The agreement includes specific financial terms, requiring the operator to pay a right-of-way usage fee to the City, with the exact amount to be determined during negotiations. The operator is responsible for all costs associated with the program and must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including a $5 million commercial general liability policy. The City reserves the right to terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice and may adjust the program size or scope during the contract term. The operator must also provide a performance and payment bond, prepare a user release agreement, and comply with various city regulations, including non-discrimination policies and public records laws. The goal is to continue and potentially expand the existing scooter share service, which currently includes approximately 885 vehicles and generates around 300,000 annual trips.

Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions will be included in the Agreement between the City and the selected Operator(s). This is not an exhaustive list of provisions, and the City reserves the right to add or modify terms and conditions during negotiations with the selected Operator(s):
1. Operator Duties. Operator shall provide the services set forth in Appendix __ for the City in full and complete accordance with this Agreement (“Services”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operator shall be responsible for the complete set-up (including the purchase of scooters and installation of other necessary equipment pursuant to the specifications set forth in Appendix __), management, operation, maintenance and marketing of the City’s Scooter Share Program (“Program”) which shall be within the Parking Areas as provided by the City. Parking Areas means those areas (including ingress, egress and approaches thereof and thereto) designated as a scooter parking area in Appendix __. Operator shall also be responsible for maintaining the Parking Areas. [Appendix __ and Appendix ___ will be prepared once the RFP process has been completed. Once prepared, the City reserves the right to amend such appendices from time to time as the City deems necessary in its sole and absolute discretion.]
2. Grant of Microbility License. The City hereby grants to Operator a microbility license in accordance with Chapter 26 of the St. Petersburg City Code, as may be amended from time to time, to operate and make available its scooters to the public for use upon the streets and sidewalks of the City (“Microbility License”).
3. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is for three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated as provided for herein. The City reserves the right to extend this Agreement for one (1) additional two (2) year period at the end of the then-expiring Term, provided that the City and Operator mutually agree in writing to any changes to the Agreement related to operation of the Program. References in this Agreement to “Term” shall include the initial term of this Agreement and any renewal terms.
4. No Payment by the City. Operator shall perform its obligations under this Agreement at no cost or expense to the City. Operator is responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in performing its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to any required permits or licenses.
5. Right-of-Way Usage Fee. In consideration of the City allowing Operator to use the City’s rights-of-way, Operator shall pay the City a _____ fee equal to _______ per _______ (“Right-of-Way Usage Fee”). In the event Operator does not meet the minimum deployment requirements of this Agreement, the Right-of-Way Usage Fee will be ____________ multiplied by the number of Scooters required to be deployed per day, less any applicable adjustments.

6. Liquidated Damages. Each “Nuisance Scooter” (as defined in the Scope of Services) will result in damages to the City that are extremely difficult and impractical to determine and for which the City’s remedies at law will not be adequate. Accordingly, as a fair and reasonable estimate and liquidation of the City’s damages and not a penalty, for each Nuisance Scooter, Operator shall pay the City an amount equal to $50 per occurrence, and an additional $50 for each consecutive two-hour period thereafter in which the Nuisance Scooter remains uncorrected.
Acceptance by the City of such liquidated damages shall not be deemed permission for the Operator to continue such violation and shall not preclude the City from seeking any other remedy (other than monetary damages) for such violation including, without limitation, suspension or termination of this Agreement.
7. Addition and Deletion of a Parking Area. The City has the sole and absolute right to add a Parking Area or delete a Parking Area designated in Appendix ___ at any time during the Term of this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Operator.

8. Relocation of Scooter and Other Program Equipment. At any time during the Term, either party may propose to rebalance scooters and/or any portion of the Program equipment to a new Parking Area. If the parties mutually agree in writing to rebalance scooters and/or any portion of the Program equipment to a new Parking Area, Operator shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for relocating the scooter and Program equipment to the new Parking Area including but not limited to obtaining any required permit, license and/or approval.
9. Reservation of Right. The City shall have the sole and absolute right to expand the Program or reduce the Program at any time during the term upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Operator. Operator shall be responsible for all costs and expense associated for adding additional scooters and other Program equipment or removing scooter and other Program equipment.
10. Non-Exclusive Agreement. This is not an exclusive agreement, and it imposes no obligation on the City to limit the number of scooter operators in the City. The City specifically reserves the right to concurrently contract with other companies for similar work and services if it deems such action to be in the City’s best interest. Operator shall coordinate and cooperate with all other scooter operators in the Program.
11. Personnel. Operator shall hire such personnel as shall be necessary and proper to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Operator acknowledges and agrees that such personnel shall not (i) be considered employees of the City for any purpose; (ii) have any authority to act on behalf of the City or as the City’s agent; or (iii) receive any payment or benefit, monetary or non-monetary, including but not limited to worker's compensation benefits directly from the City. The City reserves the right to require Operator to replace any persons providing Services pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to Operator's employees and any affiliates' or subcontractors' employees, whom the City judges to be incompetent, careless, unsuitable or otherwise objectionable, or whose continued use is deemed contrary to the best interests of the City.
