Such protests must be filed at: 475 West

Town Place, Suite 114, St. Augustine, FL 32259, ATTN: Corbin deNagy, Districts Manager. A formal protest setting forth with particularity the facts and law upon which the protest is based shall be filed within seven (7) calendar days after the initial notice of protest was filed. Failure to timely file a notice of protest or failure to timely file a formal written protest shall constitute a waiver of any right to object or protest relating to the aforesaid Project Manual.

Section 22. Protest bond. Any proposer who files a Notice of Protest protesting the Project Manual, a proposal rejection, or a proposal award shall post with the Districts at the time of filing (within 72 hours as referenced in Section 21 above), a protest bond payable to the Districts. The protest bond for protesting the Project Manual shall be in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). Notwithstanding the Districts’ operating rules, the protest bond for protesting a proposal rejection or proposal award shall be in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the value of the solicitation, but in no case less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). Bonds shall be by a U.S. postal service money order, certified, cashier’s check or such other form of surety as the Districts’ Staff may approve. All bonds shall be made payable to the Districts. Failure to post such bond within the requested time period shall result in the protest being dismissed by the Districts, with the proposer afforded no relief.

If the person or firm protesting the award prevails, the bond shall be returned to the protestor; however, if, after completion of a formal protest hearing in which the Districts prevail, the bond shall be applied to payment of the costs and attorney fees incurred by the Districts relative to the protest. The entire amount of the bond shall be forfeited if the Districts determine that a protest was filed for a frivolous or improper purpose, including, but not limited to, the purpose of harassing, causing unnecessary delay, or causing needless cost for the Districts or other parties. No proposer shall be entitled to recover any costs of proposal preparation from the Districts, regardless of the outcome of any protest.
Section 23. Evaluation of Proposals. The proposals shall be ranked at a noticed public meeting based on the criteria presented in the Evaluation Criteria sheet(s) contained within the Project Manual. Price will be one factor used in determining the proposal that is in the best interest of the Districts, but the Districts explicitly reserve the right to make such award to other than the lowest price proposal. The Districts’ Boards of Supervisors shall review and evaluate the proposals in their individual discretion, and make any final determination with respect to the award of a final contract that is in the best interests of the Districts. Proposals may be held for a period not to exceed 120 days from the date of proposal opening for the purposes of reviewing the proposals and investigating the qualifications of the proposers, prior to executing a contract agreement. During this time, all provisions of the submitted proposal must be in effect, including pricing. The Districts may visit the proposer’s facilities as part of the evaluation process.

Section 24. Black Out Period/Cone of Silence. The blackout period is defined as between the time the request for proposals is issued and the time the respective Boards award the contract. During this black out period, any attempt to influence the thinking of staff or officials related to a solicitation for goods or services, in person, by mail, by facsimile, by telephone, by electronic mail, or by any other means of communication, will result in disqualification of their award and/or contract. This does not apply to pre-solicitation conferences, contract negotiations, or communications with staff not concerning this solicitation.

Section 25. Pricing. Proposers shall submit their price information on the supplied forms with all blank spaces completed. Each line item shall be clearly stated and cover all charges including incidental expenses, applicable taxes, insurance, overhead and profit. The Districts may, in their discretion, award a single contract for providing services to all areas, or award separate contracts for each District. Therefore, Proposers are asked to provide pricing for providing services for each District and the Shared Offsite Improvements individually as well as for providing services for all Districts together. The pricing for all areas together may reflect any efficiencies in providing services for all areas; the individual pricing is not required to add up to the combined pricing. Proposers will not be allowed to make any substitutions in materials, quantities or frequencies during the proposal process. Proposers shall guarantee that their pricing shall not increase throughout the term of the contract agreement executed.

SECTION 26. E-VERIFY.   The successful Contractor must comply with and perform all applicable provisions of Section 448.095, Florida Statutes. Accordingly, to the extent required by Florida Statute, the Contractor must register with and use the United States Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system to verify the work authorization status of all newly hired employees and shall comply with all requirements of Section 448.095, Florida Statutes, as to the use of subcontractors. The Districts may terminate the Agreement immediately for cause if there is a good faith belief that the Contractor has knowingly violated Section 448.091, Florida Statutes. By entering into the Agreement, the Contractor will represent that no public employer has terminated a contract with the Contractor under Section 448.095(2)(c), Florida Statutes, within the year immediately preceding the date of the Agreement.
Section 27. Foreign Influence. By submitting a proposal, the Proposer agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 286.101, Florida Statutes, regarding disclosures of any current or prior interest of, any contract with, or any grant or gift received from a foreign country of concern if such interest, contract, or grant or gift has a value of $50,000 or more and such interest existed at any time or such contract or grant or gift was received or in force at any time during the previous five (5) years. Proposer affirms that, except as may be otherwise disclosed or excluded from disclosure under Section 286.101, Florida Statues, Proposer has no such interest in, contract with, or grant or gift from a foreign country of concern as defined in Section 286.101, Florida Statues.

Section 27.	Mandatory	and	Permissive	Requirements.	Notwithstanding
anything else within the Project Manual, the only mandatory requirements of this Project Manual are that each proposer must be authorized to do business in Florida, and hold all required state and federal licenses in good standing. All other requirements set forth in the Project Manual shall be deemed “permissive,” in that a proposer’s failure to meet any requirement described in mandatory terms such as “shall,” “will,” “mandatory,” or similar language does not automatically disqualify the proposer’s proposal, but instead in the Boards’ discretion may result in the disqualification of a proposal or alternatively may be taken into account in the evaluation and scoring of the proposal.
Section 28. Reference Terms. Any headings in this document are for the purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning thereof. Any reference to gender shall be construed to include all genders, firms, partnerships and corporations. References in the singular shall be construed to include the plural and references in the plural shall be construed to include the singular. Any reference to a “Districts” shall be construed to

SWORN STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 287.133(3)(a), FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICER AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.

This sworn statement is submitted to Rivers Edge Community Development District, Rivers Edge II Community Development District, and Rivers Edge III Community Development District.

This sworn statement is submitted by 	
(Print Name of Entity Submitting Sworn Statement) whose business address is 		 and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is 		 (If the entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn statement: 	.)

My name is 	 and my relationship to the entity named above is 		.
I understand that a “public entity crime” as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.

I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1) (b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.

I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1) (a), Florida Statutes, means:

A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or,

An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a

public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.

I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1) (e), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or applies to bid on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.

Based on information and belief, the statement, which I have marked below, is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. (Please indicate which statement applies.)
	 Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity, have been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989.
The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of the officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members or agents who are active in management of the entity or an affiliate of the entity, has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989, AND (please indicate which additional statement applies):

There has been a proceeding concerning the conviction before an Administrative Law Judge of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings. The final order entered by the Administrative Law Judge did not place the person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list. (Please attach a copy of the final order.)

	 The person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list. There has been a subsequent proceeding before an Administrative Law Judge of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings. The final order entered by the Administrative Law Judge determined that it was in the public interest to remove the person or affiliate from the convicted vendor list. (Please attach a copy of the final order.)

	 The person or affiliate has not been placed on the convicted vendor list. (Please describe any action taken by or pending with the Florida Department of Management Services.)
