Statutes), which essentially provides that a person or affiliate who is a contractor,
consultant or other provider and who has been placed on the convicted vendor list
following a conviction for a Public Entity Crime may not submit a bid on a contract to
provide any goods or services to COUNTY, may not submit a bid on a contract with
COUNTY for the construction or repair of a public building or public work, may not
submit bids on leases of real property to COUNTY, may not be awarded or perform
work as a contractor, supplier, subcontractor, or consultant under a contract with
COUNTY, and may not transact any business with COUNTY in excess of the threshold
amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, for category two purchases for a
period of thirty-six (36) months from the date of being placed on the convicted vendor
list. Violation of this section shall result in termination of this Agreement and recovery of
all monies paid hereto, and may result in debarment from COUNTY's competitive
procurement activities. In addition to the foregoing, GRANTEE further represents that
there has been no determination, based on an audit, that it committed an act defined by
Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a "public entity crime" and that it has not been
formally charged with committing an act defined as a "public entity crime" regardless of
the amount of money involved or whether GRANTEE has been placed on the convicted
vendor list.
8.17 THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Neither GRANTEE nor COUNTY intend to
directly or substantially benefit a third party by this Agreement. Therefore, the parties
agree that there are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement and that no third party
shall be entitled to assert a claim against either of them based upon this Agreement.
The parties expressly acknowledge that it is not their intent to create any rights or
obligations in any third person or entity under this Agreement.
8.18 WAIVER OF BREACH AND MATERIALITY. Failure by COUNTY to enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or
modification of this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by the party against whom it is asserted. A waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or failure to perform any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior or subsequent failure to perform
any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement and shall not be construed to be a
modification of the terms of this Agreement. COUNTY and GRANTEE agree that each
requirement, duty, and obligation set forth herein is substantial and important to the
formation of this Agreement and, therefore, is a material term hereof.
8.19 JOINT PREPARATION. COUNTY and GRANTEE acknowledge that they have
sought and received whatever competent advice and counsel as was necessary for
them to form a full and complete understanding of all rights and obligations under this
M
0 0
Agreement, and the preparation of this Agreement has been a joint effort of COUNTY
and GRANTEE and the resulting document shall not, solely as a matter of judicial
construction, be construed more severely against one of the parties than any other.
8.20 PRIORITY OF PROVISIONS. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between any
term, statement, requirement, or provision of any exhibit attached hereto, any document
or events referred to herein, or any document incorporated into this Agreement by
reference and a term, statement, requirement, or provision of this Agreement, the term,
statement, requirement, or provision contained in Articles 1 through 8 of this Agreement
shall prevail and be given effect. Where there is a conflict between any provision set
forth within this Agreement and a more stringent State or Federal provision which is
applicable to any services performed under this Agreement, the more stringent State or
Federal provision shall prevail.
8.21 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. The truth and accuracy of each
"Whereas" clause set forth above is acknowledged by the parties. The attached
Exhibits are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
8.22 USE OF TERMS. All terms and words used in this Agreement, despite the
number and gender in which used, shall be deemed to include any other gender or
number as the context or the use thereof may require. Terms such as "herein,"
"hereof," "hereunder," and "hereinafter" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular sentence, paragraph, or section where they appear, unless the context
otherwise requires. Whenever reference is made to a section of this Agreement, such
reference is to the section as a whole, including all of the subsections and
subparagraphs of such section unless the reference is made to a particular subsection
or subparagraph of such section.
8.23 FURTHER ASSURANCE. GRANTEE and COUNTY agree to execute,
acknowledge, deliver, and cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all
such further documents and perform such acts as shall reasonably be requested of it to
carry out this Agreement and give effect hereto. Accordingly, without in any manner
limiting the specific rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, the parties declare
their intention to cooperate with each other in effecting the terms of this Agreement.
8.24 WAIVER OF CLAIMS. GRANTEE hereby waives any claim against COUNTY,
and its agents, servants and employees for loss of anticipated profits caused by any suit
or proceedings directly or indirectly attacking the validity of this Agreement or any part
thereof, or by any judgment of award in any suit or proceeding declaring this Agreement
null, void or voidable, delaying the same or any part thereof, from being carried out.
8.25 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights and remedies of COUNTY hereunder or at
law or in equity are cumulative and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies
available. The exercise of any right or remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive
-10-
0 0
the right to the exercise of any other. Failure by COUNTY to promptly exercise any of
its rights shall not operate to forfeit or be treated as a waiver of any such rights.

remedies, its obligations contained herein shall be subject to the remedy of specific
performance by appropriate action commenced in a court of proper jurisdiction.
