The Department will provide prompt written notification of a claim regarding copyright or patent infringement and will afford the Contractor full opportunity to defend the action and control the defense of such claim.

Further, if such a claim is made, or is pending, the Contractor may, at its option and expense, procure for the Department the right to continue the use of, replace, or modify the article to render it non-infringing. (If none of the alternatives are reasonably available, the Department agrees to return the article to the Contractor upon its request and receive reimbursement, fees, and costs, if any, as may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.) If the Contractor uses any design, device, or material(s) covered by letter, patent or copyright, it is mutually agreed and understood, without exceptions, that the Contract prices shall include all royalties or costs arising from the use of such design, device, or materials.

U. Severability

The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision shall not affect the other provisions hereof and shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted, so long as the material purposes can still be determined and effectuated.

V. Use of Funds for Lobbying Prohibited

The Contractor agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 216.347, F.S., which prohibits the expenditure of State funds to lobby the Legislature, Judicial branch of government, or a State agency.

W. Employment of Department Personnel

The Contractor shall not knowingly engage, employee, or utilize, on a full-time, part-time, or another basis, any current or former employee of the Department, during the period of the Contract, where such employment conflicts with Section 112.3185, F.S.

X. Tax Exemption

The Department agrees to pay for commodities and/or services according to the conditions of the Contract. The State of Florida does not pay federal excise taxes or the sales tax on direct purchases of commodities or services, and pricing shall not include those taxes.

a) Any written or recorded communication or any currency or coin given or transmitted, or intended to be given or transmitted, to any inmate of any state correctional institution.

g) Any vapor-generating electronic device as defined in Section 386.203, Florida Statutes, intentionally and unlawfully introduced inside the secure perimeter of any state correctional institution.

A person who violates any provision of this section as it pertains to an article of contraband described in subsections (a), (b), or (f) is guilty of a felony of the third degree. In all other cases, a violation of a provision of this section constitutes a felony of the second degree.

2) Absolutely no transactions between contract personnel and inmates are permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, giving or receiving cigarettes, stamps, or letters.

3) No communication with inmates, verbal or otherwise, is permitted without the authorization of the officer-in-charge.

4) Keep all keys in your pockets. Do not leave keys in the ignition locks of motor vehicles. All vehicles must be locked, and windows rolled up when parked on state property. Wheel locking devices may also be required.

5) Establish with the Institutional Warden and/or Chief of Security where construction vehicles should be parked and staging area for materials storage.

Security Requirements

7) Strict tool control will be enforced at all times. Tools within the correctional institution are classified as Class AA, A, or B.

a) Class AA tools are defined as any tool that can be utilized to cut chain link fence fiber or razor wire rapidly and effectively.

b) Class A tools are defined as those tools which, in their present form, are most likely to be used in an escape or to do bodily harm to staff or inmates.

c) Class B tools are defined as tools of a less hazardous nature. Every tool is to be geographically controlled and accounted for at all times.

d) At the end of the workday, toolboxes will be removed from the compound or to a secure area as directed by security staff. You must have two copies of the correct inventory with each toolbox; one copy will be used and retained by security staff who will search and ensure a proper inventory of tools each time the toolbox is brought into the facility, the other copy will remain with the toolbox at all times. Tools should be kept to a minimum (only those tools necessary to complete your job). All lost tools must be reported to the Chief of Security (Colonel or Major) immediately. No inmate will be allowed to leave the area until the lost tool is recovered.

8) Prior approval must be obtained from the Chief of Security before bringing any powder-activated tools onto the compound. Strict accountability of all powder loads and spent cartridges is required.

9) All construction materials will be delivered into the compound on trucks entering through the sallyport gate. As the security check of vehicles is an intensive and time-consuming (10-15 minutes) process, the contractor is requested to minimize the number of deliveries.

10) Control end-of-day construction materials and debris. Construction materials and debris can be used as weapons or as a means of escape. Construction material will be stored in locations agreed to by security staff, and debris will be removed to a designated location.

Arrange for security staff to inspect the project area before construction personnel leave.

This will aid you in assuring that necessary security measures are accomplished.

11) Coordinate with the Warden and Chief of Security regarding any shutdown of existing systems (gas, water, electricity, electronics, sewage, etc.). Obtain institutional approval before shutting down any existing utility system. Arrange for alternative service (if required) and expeditious re-establishment of the shutdown system.

12) With the intent of maintaining security upon the institution’s grounds, a background check will be made upon all persons employed by the contractor or who work on the project.

The Department, represented by the institution’s Warden, reserves the right to reject any person whom it determines may be a threat to the security of the institution.
