1.39 ELIMINATION FROM CONSIDERATION
This Invitation to Bid shall not be awarded to any person or bidder who has outstanding debts to the FSA,
whether in relation to current or previous bid awards or for other business purposes.
1.40 COLLUSION
Collusion is a non-competitive secret or sometimes illegal agreement between rival bidders that attempts
to disrupt the contract process equilibrium. Collusion involves people or companies that would typically
compete, but are conspiring or working together in which the outcome results in an unfair bid advantage.
The parties may collectively choose to agree to increase or decrease its product base price in one or more
zones to maximize awards thus denying the public a fair price.
Examples of Bid Collusion:
• Cover bidding: a competitor agrees to submit a non-competitive bid that is too high to be accepted
or contains terms that are unacceptable to the buyer.
• Bid suppression or withdrawal: a competitor agrees not to bid or to withdraw a bid from
consideration.
• Market sharing: a competitor agrees to submit bids only in certain geographic areas or only to
certain public organizations.
• Bid rotation: competitors agree to take turns at winning business while monitoring their market
shares to ensure they all have a predetermined market share.
Bidders or vendors who have been found to have engaged in collusion will be considered nonresponsive,
and will be suspended or barred from bid participation. Any contract award resulting from collusive bidding
may be terminated for default. Further, any collusion that is detected by the FSA may be reported to
relevant law enforcement and/or prosecutorial agencies.
Bidders may submit multiple bids without conflict of collusion if the bid submitted is not from the same
manufacturer and product line. Dealers which share the same ownership may submit multiple bids without
conflict of collusion if the bidders are not in the same region featuring the same manufacturer and product
line.
1.41 DEFAULT
Failure or refusal of a bidder to execute a contract upon award or withdrawal of a bid before such award is
made, may result in forfeiture of any bid surety required that is equal to damages incurred by the FSAthere
from, or where surety is not required, failure to execute a contract as described above may be grounds for
removing the bidder from the awarded vendor's list.
In case of default on the part of awarded bidder, the FSA may take necessary steps to otherwise procure
the products sought, including but not limited to procuring the products or services from the next highest
Page 17
FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION

ranked bidder or from other sources. A defaulting bidder may be held liable for costs incurred by the FSA
in procuring replacement products.
1.42 PROTESTS AND ARBITRATION
Options are for informational purposes only and will not serve as a basis for protest.
Any person who is adversely affected by the decision or intended decision to award shall file a "Notice of
Protest" in writing to the FSA within three (3) business days after the posting of the Intent to Award and
shall file a formal written protest within five (5) business days after filing the Notice of Protest. Failure to
file both a notice of protest and a formal written protest within the above referenced timelines shall
constitute a waiver of proceedings.
The burden is on the party protesting the award of the bid to establish grounds for invalidating the award(s).
The formal written protest must state with particularity the facts and law upon which the protest is based.
Failure to do so will result in a denial of protest. Formal written protest which states with particularity the
facts and law upon which the protest is based will be reviewed by FSA legal counsel for legal soundness and
validity, and corrective action will be taken as needed contingent upon the validity of such claims. However,
any additional time required and cost incurred by the FSA to substantiate a protesting party's claim(s)
beyond the normal scope of its legal review due to the vague or inconclusive nature of the protesting party's
filing will be reimbursable to the FSA and deducted from the protesting party's bond or security which must
accompany their filing.
Any bidder who files an action protesting a decision or intended decision pertaining to this contract shall
post a bond, cashier's check or money order payable to the Florida Sheriffs Association in the amount equal
to ten percent of the product line being protested. The bond, cashier's check or money order must be filed
at the time of filing the formal written protest or within the five (5) business day period allowed for filing
the formal written protest. FSA will provide the amount required within two (2) business days of the notice
of protest received. This bond or security will be conditioned upon the payment of all costs which may be
adjudged against the protesting party in a court of law and/or to reimburse the FSA for additional legal
expenses incurred and required to substantiate the protesting party's claim(s). Failure to post the bond or
security requirement within the time allowed for filing will result in a denial of protest. The filing of the
protest shall not stay the implementation of the bid award by the Florida Sheriffs Association.
Should the unsuccessful bidder(s) decide to appeal the decision of the FSA, they shall file a notice to FSA
within three (3) business days of the FSA bid protest decision regarding their intent to request arbitration.
A demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association's (AAA) commercial panel under its
rules and regulations must be made within ten (10) business days of the FSA bid protest decision. Any
person who files for an arbitration with the AAA shall post with the Florida Sheriffs Association at the time
of filing the formal written arbitration request, a bond, cashier's check or money order payable to the
Florida Sheriffs Association in the amount equal to ten percent of the product line being protested. This
amount will be the same amount as the FSA provided at the time of filing the initial protest. Failure to
provide written notice to FSA, file a demand for arbitration with the AAA, or failure to post the required
bond and security requirement within the specified timelines shall constitute a waiver of arbitration
proceedings. By responding to this procurement the bidder expressly agrees to the use of mandatory
binding arbitration to resolve any appeals of the decision of the FSA, and any claims arising from or in any
way relating to the procurement process, and expressly waives any and all rights that it may otherwise have
to pursue such claims in any other forum, judicial or otherwise.

Contract Terms and Conditions
If the party filing for arbitration does not prevail, it shall pay all costs, legal expenses and attorney fees of
the prevailing party incurred in connection with the arbitration. However, if the filing party prevails, the
parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitration and AAA and each shall bear the cost of
their own attorney fees. The filing for arbitration shall not stay the implementation of the bid award by the
Florida Sheriffs Association.
1.43 NONPERFORMANCE
By virtue of the bid submission, bidder acknowledges its obligation to sell vehicles and equipment in all
zones for which it is awarded. Failure of the bidder to comply with these requirements may result in the
imposition of liquidated damages of up to $1,000 per vehicle/equipment, which amount the vendor agrees
is reasonable, or probation, suspension, termination or a combination thereof from current and future bids
at the FSA's discretion.
The vendor shall at all times during the contract term remain responsive and responsible. In determining
vendor's responsibility, the FSA shall consider all information or evidence that demonstrates the vendor's
ability or willingness to fully satisfy the requirements of the solicitation and the contract.
Vendors that are not in compliance with any of the provisions of this contract can be assessed liquidated
damages, suspended or terminated from the contract. The FSA at its sole discretion may remove a
noncompliant vendor from future competitive bid solicitations; or take other actions including suspension
from the contract until compliance issues are resolved, limit current or future vendor participation by
specifications or zones, or other actions as determined by FSA at its sole discretion.
At FSA's discretion, vendors may be required to develop corrective action plans to address contract
compliance. Failure to abide by corrective action plans will result termination from the existing contract
and future competitive bid solicitations at the discretion of the FSA.
In situations where there is evidence that the vendor has engaged in egregious breaches of the contract
with respect to either the FSA and/or the purchaser, the contract can be terminated and the vendor will be
removed from future solicitations for a period of up to three (3) years, or a permanent ban from the bid
process at the sole discretion of FSA.
Specific conditions for termination include, but are not limited to; failure to perform, refusal to accept
orders during the contract period while manufacturer orders are still being accepted for current model year
or the new year if the vehicle is price protected by the factory, charging amounts exceeding MSRP on factory
or vendor installed items and packages, requiring the purchase of additional options over and above the
base vehicle as a condition of acceptance of order, providing aftermarket options where factory options are
available without the consent of the purchaser, any misrepresentation of optional equipment or service as
being factory that fails to meet the definition as described in this document, and any other practice deemed
to be inconsistent with the intent of the contract.
Any vendor presented with a valid purchase order is required by this contract to accept such purchase order
and deliver the product. Orders must be fulfilled if the vehicle or equipment is a base model or whether it
includes options. The vendor must deliver this product if they were awarded the contract — regardless of
profit or loss.
Failure to deliver the vehicles or equipment may result in the purchaser seeking damages for the difference
of cost to issue the exact same order with another vendor plus any legal fees and damages that may be
Page 19

Contract Terms and Conditions
incurred in the process to facilitate a completed order. Additionally, FSA may seek damages for
nonpayment of administrative fees, to which FSA is entitled, according to Section 3.28 and any attorney's
fees incurred in the recovery of these damages.
All terms and conditions are applicable throughout the term of the contract and not any given Year, Make
or Model.
1.44 SEVERABILITY
In the event any provision of this contract is held to be unenforceable for any reason, the unenforceability
thereof shall not affect the remainder of the contract which shall remain in full force and effect and
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
1.45 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
If through any cause within the reasonable control of the vendor, it shall fail to fulfill in a timely manner, or
otherwise violate any of the terms of this contract, the FSA shall have the right to terminate the services
remaining to be performed. Written notice of the deficiencies shall be given to the vendor and unless the
deficiencies are corrected within 10 business days, the Contract may be terminated for cause immediately.
The right to exercise the option to terminate for cause shall be in the sole discretion of the FSA, and the
failure to exercise such right shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of this right.
In that event, the FSA shall compensate the successful bidder in accordance with the contract for all services
performed by the bidder prior to termination, net of any costs incurred by the FSA as a consequence of the
d efa u It.
Notwithstanding the above, the vendor shall not be relieved of liability to the FSA for damages sustained
by the FSA by virtue of any breach of the contract by the vendor, and the FSA may reasonably withhold
payments to the vendor for the purposes of off set until such time as the exact amount of damages due the
FSA from the vendor is determined.
1.46 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE
The FSA can terminate the contract in whole or part without cause by giving written notice to the vendor
of such termination, which shall become effective 30 calendar days following receipt by vendor of such
notice.
In that event, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials shall be properly delivered to the
FSA.
The vendor shall not furnish any product after it receives the notice of termination, except as necessary to
complete the continued portion of the contract, if any. The vendor shall not be entitled to recover any lost
profits that the vendor expected to earn on the balanced of the Contract or cancellation charges.
Any payments to the vendor shall be only to the total extent of the FSA liability for goods or services
delivered prior to the date of notice to terminate the contract.

2.14 OPTION PRICING
The bidder shall offer discount below Manufacturer's Standard Retail Pricing (MSRP) or manufacturers
published list price for any factory options included in the bid submission and quotes to purchasers, if
awarded. FSA requests vendors include most frequently purchased scheduled, factory and aftermarket
options in the bid.
Options are intended to add or delete equipment or features from the base specification. Options can
provide an upgrade or downgrade to a manufacturer's model, such as a slightly different engine size or
horsepower, and should not be made available for purchase separate from the base vehicle or equipment.
Bidders shall NOT use options to create a vehicle or equipment that is entirely different than the FSA base
specification or are available as another specification bid on this ITB.
Bidder must use proper factory codes for all factory options. Options available through the factory may be
bid and supplied to purchaser as "factory' options, unless otherwise requested in writing by the purchaser.
The FSA has the discretion to disqualify bidders if the option pricing is excessive or if options listed are not
available for the item bid.
Option pricing will include all costs of labor associated with the option and cost of labor should not be listed
separately within the bid. Section 2.15 contains specific instructions and exceptions for emergency lights
and sirens.
If a bidder will offer registration and title services as a fee for service, the bidder must include the
administrative fee as a separate option (i.e. line item) for each item bid, see Section 3.23 for additional
details. Government imposed fees should not be included in this option pricing.
No other additional charges or fees are admissible.
For purposes of this bid, Emergency Lights and Sirens will require a separate pricing sheet upload in the bid
system. See Section 2.14 for details on emergency lights and sirens.
If options are not available as a stand alone option, the bidder must indicate in their bid submission any
option requiring the purchase of other options, and also indicate options that are a part or dependent of
another option. Factory package options are allowable under this contract. Factory package options must
be included in the options within the bid document and detailed specifically as to what components the
package includes.
When calculating the price for a manufacturer's option requested in this bid that is not listed as an option
in the manufacturer's order guide (i.e. model or engine upgrade), the bidder must calculate the option price
as the net difference between vendor cost on the representative base vehicle and the total MSRP of the
requested option modifying the vehicle. A bidder may bid less than this price, but at no time charge more
than the calculation provided here.
The use of options to facilitate the sale of an alternate manufacturer's product which is outside the scope
of the written base specification will be determined nonresponsive and the bid will be rejected in whole or
part by the FSA.
Page 28
FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION
Cooperative Purchasing Program
Contract Terms and Conditions
Example: Bidder CANNOT include option upgrades that result in the selling of a vehicle or truck on
one specification that is offered as a separate specification in the bid solicitation. For example, a
Vendor who is awarded the bid for 25,500 lb. GVWR Cab & Chassis cannot upgrade this item
through an add option to a 30,000 lb. GVWR Cab & Chassis in order to circumvent the bid award
winner for the 30,000 lb. GVWR Cab & Chassis.
Purchasers are encouraged to negotiate option pricing with vendors. Discounts can be provided beyond
option prices listed in the contract. The additional discounts for each add option shall be decided by the
vendor.

information required for the bid submission of the options under each bid specification number include:
• Bid Item number (FSA item specification number)
• Order code (Manufacturer order code)
• Description
• Price
The options will correspond to the specification or item number. Multiple options may be listed for each
each specification or item number bid. Therefore, bidders that do not indicate the correct item number
with the option information bid will not have options displayed for the item bid. If option pricing is not
uploaded correctly, FSA may require bidders to correct the formatting of the options, but pricing may not
be modified. Failure of the bidder to make corrections may cause the bid to be rejected.
If the bidder wishes to offer credit to the purchaser for an option that is standard on the FSA base
specification, the bidder should include the word "Credit" at the beginning of the description, and continue
to describe the option being credited. For example, "Credit: one key fob" that corresponds with the price
the bidder will credit the purchaser.

deficiencies.
Quarterly reports track the purchase orders received, deliveries made, and vendor administrative fees
prescribed in Section 3.28 due in a given quarter.
All required quarterly report templates can be downloaded from the FSA website under the Cooperative
Purchasing Program page, Other Links, Vendor Only page. All quarterly reports are to be sent to

contains three 3 worksheets. The first worksheet titled "Instructions" must be completed with the name
of the vendor and the quarter being reported in the fields that appear in red text. The quarter being
reported should be selected from the drop down box. This information will be copied to the report page

worksheet. If the vendor has no deliveries in a given quarter, the vendor shall indicate "No deliveries this
quarter" on the top row of the delivery worksheet.
FSA reserves the right to modify the procedure for submitting quarterly reports during the term of the
contract. Such a change shall not materially modify the substance of the information to be reported, but

change, FSA will provide written notice to all vendors of the method by which future quarterly reports are
to be submitted.

After receipt of payment from contract purchases, the vendor shall remit all administrative fees to the FSA
no later than 15 calendar days after the end of each quarter. All fees payable to the FSA during any given
quarter will be accompanied and supported by a Quarterly Report.
Bidders are to include the administrative fee of three quarters of one percent (.0075) in all bid prices. The
fee should be incorporated into the price at the time of bid submission This fee should also be included on
all add options. The administrative fee will remain payable to FSA and no relief from payment of the
administrative fee, nor any additional charge to recoup the administrative fee, will be permitted if a vendor
fails to incorporate the administrative fee in its bid pricing.

The administrative fee is based on the total purchase order amount of new vehicles or equipment. This fee
excludes any value given to purchasers for trade-ins. Trade-ins, extended warranties and other exchanges
will not reduce or impact the fee calculation.
The administrative fees are the contractual responsibility of each awarded vendor.
By submission of the quarterly reports and administrative fee, the vendor is certifying the accuracy of the
reports and deposits. All reports and fee submissions shall be subject to audit by the FSA or their designee.
All participating vendors will be responsible for making sure that FSA has the contact information, including
e-mail address, for the person responsible for quarterly reports. There will be no reminders for the quarterly
reports or the administrative fee.
