Mowing and Weed Control Services for Rapid Infiltration Basins

This is a service contract agreement between the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) and a selected contractor for mowing and weed control services for rapid infiltration basins. The contract is for a three-year initial term with an optional two-year renewal period available upon mutual written consent of both parties. The scope of services, detailed labor rates, and specific service requirements are outlined in Exhibit A (Scope of Services and Rate Schedule), with additional operational and safety specifications provided in Exhibit B (Special Contract Conditions). The contract contains references to a Request for Proposal or competitive bidding process that resulted in the selection of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. No specific response dates, due dates, site visit requirements, or bidders' conferences are identified in the contract document itself, as this agreement represents the executed contract rather than the initial solicitation.

Compensation is structured as a monthly progress payment arrangement based on completed services invoiced by the contractor and approved by the CFTOD's designated representative at Reedy Creek Energy Services. The total compensation is subject to a "not to exceed" amount, with specific rates provided on the attached Rate Schedule incorporated by reference. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and transportation necessary for service delivery. The contract prohibits subcontracting of any portion of the work. Invoices are to be submitted on the first day of each calendar month and addressed to RCES Accounts Payable, with payment made in accordance with Florida Statutes sections 218.73 and 218.735. The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and umbrella liability, with the CFTOD named as an additional insured. The CFTOD retains the right to terminate the agreement for convenience with seven days' notice or for cause immediately upon breach, with the contractor receiving payment only for work completed through the termination date.

Do not begin work before safety measures are in place and training is complete. Any changes to the PSSP must be communicated to the Owner.

All workers, including managers and supervisors, shall have the proper training and instruction on general safety requirements for the project as well as any task or equipment specific training required to complete the project. This also includes temporary workers. Awareness-type training is not sufficient where task or equipment specific training is required.

No one shall knowingly be permitted to work while their ability or alertness is so impaired by fatigue, illness, or other cause that they may expose themselves or others to injury.

All jobsite emergencies shall be reported immediately. For fire or medical emergencies, call 911 and ask for District Fire Department. Report all emergencies to an immediate supervisor, the project manager and the Owner.
