BOUTSIS CITY ATTORNEY 1 AGREEMENT FOR UNIFORMS AND CUSTOM APPAREL RFP NO. 25-034 This Agreement for Uniforms and Custom Apparel (“Agreement”) is entered into as of ____________________, 2026 (“Effective Date”), by and between the City of Dania Beach, Florida, a Florida municipal corporation (“City”), and [FULL LEGAL NAME OF VENDOR], a [STATE AND ENTITY TYPE], with an address at [ADDRESS] (“Vendor”). RECITALS WHEREAS, the City issued Request for Proposals No. 25-034, entitled “Uniforms and Custom Apparel (Re-issue)” (the “RFP”), seeking qualified vendors to supply and deliver uniforms and custom apparel for City staff; and WHEREAS, Vendor submitted a proposal in response to the RFP, and the City Commission selected Vendor as one of three vendors authorized to provide the products and related services described in the RFP; and WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish the terms governing individual purchases from Vendor. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows: 1. Contract Documents and Order of Precedence. 1.1 Contract Documents. The Contract Documents consist of: (a) this Agreement and any written amendments; (b) the RFP and all addenda; (c) Vendor’s proposal, including its pricing and any written clarifications accepted by the City; and (d) purchase orders issued by the City under this Agreement. The Contract Documents are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth in this Agreement. 1.2 Order of Precedence. If the Contract Documents conflict, they control in the order listed in Section 1.1, except that an addendum issued after the RFP controls over the original RFP language. A purchase order identifies the particular products, quantities, price, delivery location, and delivery date; it does not amend this Agreement or authorize additional terms. Vendor’s quotation, invoice, website terms, click-wrap terms, or other form may not add to or modify the Contract Documents. 2. Scope and Standard of Performance. 2.1 Products and Services. Vendor shall supply and deliver uniforms, custom apparel, decoration, embroidery, screen printing, fitting, online-ordering support, and related products or services ordered by the City in accordance with the Contract Documents. All items must be new, first quality, brand compliant, and free from defects. 2 2.2 Performance. Vendor shall comply with the specifications, approved samples, turnaround times, delivery requirements, warranties, and other commitments in the Contract Documents. Vendor shall promptly correct, replace, or reperform, at no additional cost to the City, any item or service that does not conform to the Contract Documents. 2.3 City Marks. Vendor may use the City’s name, seal, logo, or other marks only to perform an authorized purchase order and only in the form approved by the City. Vendor may not use City marks for advertising, promotion, resale, or any other purpose without the City’s prior written approval. 3. Multiple Award; No Exclusivity or Minimum Purchase. This is a nonexclusive, multiple-award agreement. The City may purchase from any awarded vendor based on price, availability, product selection, delivery time, departmental needs, prior performance, or other factors consistent with the RFP. The City does not guarantee Vendor any minimum quantity, expenditure, order, or percentage of City purchases. Nothing prohibits the City from obtaining products or services from another source when permitted by law and City procurement requirements. 4. Purchase Orders and Authorization. 4.1 Required Purchase Order. Vendor shall not begin work, customize an item, or ship products without a purchase order or other written authorization issued by an authorized City representative. Vendor proceeds at its own risk if it accepts instructions from an unauthorized person. 4.2 No Unauthorized Charges. The City is not responsible for products, quantities, substitutions, freight, rush charges, setup charges, artwork charges, taxes, or other costs not expressly authorized by the applicable purchase order and permitted by the Contract Documents. Substitutions require the City’s prior written approval. 5. Pricing, Invoices, and Payment. 5.1 Pricing. Prices, discounts, decoration charges, delivery charges, and other compensation shall not exceed the amounts stated in Vendor’s proposal and the applicable purchase order. Prices include all costs necessary to provide the ordered products and services unless the RFP or purchase order expressly states otherwise. The City is exempt from Florida sales and use tax. 5.2 Invoices. Vendor shall submit an accurate itemized invoice referencing the Agreement, purchase-order number, ordering department, products, quantities, unit prices, decoration charges, approved additional charges, and delivery date. The City may reject an incomplete or inaccurate invoice. 5.3 Payment. The City will pay proper invoices in accordance with the Florida Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Part VII of Chapter 218, Florida Statutes. Payment does not constitute acceptance of defective or nonconforming products and does not waive any City remedy. 3 5.4 Records and Audit. Vendor shall maintain complete records supporting its prices, charges, deliveries, and performance for the period required by the RFP and applicable law, and in no event for less than five (5) years after final payment. Upon reasonable notice, the City or its designee may inspect and copy those records to verify compliance with the Contract Documents. 6. Delivery, Acceptance, Title, and Risk of Loss. Vendor shall deliver each order to the location and by the date stated in the purchase order. Time is of the essence. Title and risk of loss remain with Vendor until delivery and acceptance by the City. The City may inspect and reject incorrect, damaged, late, defective, or nonconforming items. Vendor shall, at the City’s election and at no additional cost, promptly replace the items, correct the work, or issue a full credit, including associated shipping and decoration costs. 7. Term. The term begins on the Effective Date and continues through [INSERT INITIAL EXPIRATION DATE], unless earlier terminated. Any renewal must be authorized in the manner provided by the RFP and confirmed in a written instrument signed by the City. Vendor has no right to automatic renewal. The City’s obligations in each fiscal year are subject to lawful appropriation and availability of funds. 8. Insurance and Indemnification. 8.1 Insurance. Vendor shall maintain the insurance required by the RFP throughout the term and provide certificates and endorsements upon request. Approval of insurance does not limit Vendor’s liability. 8.2 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of Vendor’s negligence, willful misconduct, breach of this Agreement, violation of law, or allegation that products, designs, artwork, or services supplied by Vendor infringe a third party’s intellectual-property rights. Vendor has no obligation to indemnify a City indemnitee for that indemnitee’s sole negligence or willful misconduct. This Section survives expiration or termination. 8.3 Sovereign Immunity. Nothing in the Contract Documents waives the City’s sovereign immunity or limits under Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, or other law. No provision requiring the City to indemnify Vendor is enforceable. 9. Public Records. Vendor shall comply with Section 119.0701, Florida Statutes, and all other applicable public- records laws. Vendor shall: (a) keep and maintain public records required by the City to perform this Agreement; 4 (b) upon request from the City’s custodian of public records, provide the City with a copy of requested records or allow inspection or copying within a reasonable time at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided by law; (c) ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from disclosure are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the duration of the Agreement and after completion if Vendor does not transfer the records to the City; and (d) upon completion, transfer to the City, at no cost, all public records in Vendor’s possession or keep and maintain them as required by law. If Vendor transfers all public records to the City, Vendor shall destroy duplicate records that are exempt or confidential and exempt. If Vendor keeps public records, Vendor shall meet all applicable requirements for retaining them. All electronically stored records must be provided to the City, upon request, in a format compatible with the City’s information-technology systems.

Vendor certifies, to the extent applicable, that it is eligible to contract with the City under Section 287.135, Florida Statutes. Vendor shall immediately notify the City if that certification becomes inaccurate. 10.4 No Discrimination. Vendor shall not discriminate in performance of this Agreement in violation of applicable law. 11. Independent Contractor; Assignment; Subcontractors.

The City may terminate immediately or after any cure period stated in its notice if Vendor breaches the Contract Documents, repeatedly fails to meet delivery or quality requirements, loses required insurance or legal eligibility, or fails to cure a default. If urgent operational needs or repeated performance failures make a cure period impracticable, the City may obtain substitute performance and pursue available remedies. 12.3 Cumulative Remedies. The City’s remedies are cumulative and include rejection, replacement, credit, cover, recovery of damages, suspension of orders, and termination. Vendor is responsible for reasonable excess costs the City incurs to obtain substitute products or services due to Vendor’s default. 13. Notices.
