A. After a Notice of Intent to Award a contract is posted, any actual or prospective Bidder or Offeror
claiming to be aggrieved in connection with the pending award of the Contract or any element of the
process leading to the award of the Contract may protest to the City Manager. A protest must be filed by

the Notice is posted) or any right to protest is waived. The protest must be in writing, must identify the
name and address of the protester, and must include a factual summary of, and the basis for, the protest.
Filing shall be considered complete when the protest and a Bid Protest Bond are timely received by the
City Manager’s Office.

returned to the protester. If the protest is not decided in the protester's favor, the deposit shall be retained

shall be taken. If the Protest Committee determines that the protest has merit, the City Manager shall
direct that all appropriate steps are to be taken to remedy it.
D. In the event of a timely protest, the City Manager shall stay the award of the Contract unless, after
consulting with the City Attorney and a representative from the City’s Department for which the
services are being obtained, the City Manager determines that the award of the Contract without delay is
necessary to protect the substantial interests of the City. The continuation of the bid award process under
these circumstances shall not preempt or otherwise affect the protest.

2.30 LITIGATION
A. In addition to any other provision of this solicitation, the City may, in its absolute discretion, reject a Bid
or Proposal if the Bidder or Offeror, or any officer or director of the Bidder or Offeror submitting the
Bid or Proposal, is or has been engaged directly or indirectly in legal action against the City, its elected
or appointed officers, representatives or employees in relation to any matter.
B. In determining whether or not to reject a Bid or Proposal under this section, the City will consider
whether the litigation is likely to affect the Bidder’s or Offeror's ability to work with the City, its
consultants and representatives and whether the City’s experience with the Bidder or Offeror indicates
that there is a risk that the City will incur increased staff and legal costs in the administration of the
contract if it is awarded to the Bidder or Offeror.

GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The law of the State of Florida shall govern the

arising out of, relating to or pertaining to the Contract, the breach of it, the services of it, or the standard
of performance required in it, are to be addressed by resort to non-binding mediation as authorized under
the laws and rules of Florida; provided, however, that in the event of any dispute between the parties, the
parties agree to first negotiate with each other for a resolution of the matter or matters in dispute and,
upon failure of such negotiations to resolve the dispute, the parties shall resort to mediation. If mediation
is unsuccessful, any such matter may be determined by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction in
Broward County, Florida, or the Federal District Court of the Southern District of Florida and
appropriate appellate courts for such venue and jurisdiction. If City or Contractor incurs any expense in
enforcing the terms of the Contractor, whether suit is brought or not, each party shall bear its own costs
