Solicitation (including plans, specifications, or other requirements) or any decision based thereon

Notice of Protest of any portion of a Solicitation or intended decision based thereon shall be delivered to ECUA within three (3) business days of the Protestor’s receipt of the Solicitation or notice of any intended decision based thereon. A Notice of Protest shall be in writing, shall state the subject matter of the Protest, and shall be submitted to the following via hand delivery, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or electronic mail with the subject line clearly identifying the communication as a Protest and the Solicitation number (e.g. Bid Protest – ITB

ECUA General Counsel, Robert O. Beasley

40 Palafox Place, Suite 300

Pensacola, FL 32502

ROBservice@lawpensacola.com

Or subsequent Board Attorney

A formal written Protest shall be delivered to ECUA within ten (10) business days after the submitting of Notice of Protest. A formal written Protest shall state with particularity the facts and the law on which the Protest is based.

Upon receipt of a Notice of Protest, which has been timely delivered to ECUA, the Executive

Director shall pause all actions of ECUA related to the Solicitation and subsequent award based thereon until the Protest has been resolved. However, if the Executive Director, at his/her sole discretion, determines that such a delay would be detrimental to the interests of ECUA or the public health, safety, or welfare, the Executive Director may direct that the Solicitation proceed and/or recommend to the ECUA Board that the Solicitation be awarded despite the pending

Protest. In such an event, the award based on such Solicitation shall be subject to the outcome of the Protest, and ECUA shall give notice of such to the Contractor which is awarded the

Contract. Notwithstanding, if ECUA does not prevail in the Protest, ECUA may take such action as it considers appropriate, which may include, but shall not be limited to, award based on the

Solicitation to the prevailing party, cancellation of the awarded Solicitation, or readvertisement.

The Executive Director may provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve a Protest by agreement.

If an agreement is not reached within such time as the Executive Director considers reasonable under the circumstances, the Executive Director shall review the facts and the law on which the

Protest is based and shall render a decision which shall be in writing and shall be promptly transmitted to the Protestor.

If the Protestor wishes to continue the Protest beyond the decision of the Executive Director, the

Protestor shall submit a petition for review by the ECUA Board. This petition shall be made in writing and delivered to the Executive Director within ten (10) business days after notice of the decision of the Executive Director. Such petition shall state the particular grounds on which it is based and may include pertinent documents and evidence relating thereto. Any grounds not stated shall be deemed to have been waived by the Protestor. This petition must also be accompanied by a Bond of an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the value of the Bid/proposal

(“Protest Bond”). This Protest Bond shall be in the form required by the Solicitation for other bonds. Failure of the protestor to timely deliver a petition for review by the ECUA Board or required

Bond shall constitute a waiver, and the decision of the Executive Director shall immediately be final and binding.

The Protest Bond shall be conditioned upon the payment of all costs and charges incurred by

ECUA as a result of the Protest. If the Protestor prevails in a Protest, the bond shall be returned to the Protestor. If ECUA prevails in a Protest, ECUA shall be entitled to recover the costs and charges incurred as a result of the Protest. Notwithstanding, the prevailing party of a Protest shall not be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees unless allowed by Florida Statutes.
