CLARIFICATION OF NON-EXCLUSIVE OPEN WORK ORDER CONTRACT:
Pricing for Work Orders shall be based on unit prices established on the Bid Form distributed with
the Bid Documents. Prospective bidders are cautioned that failure to complete and submit the Bid

Form with the bid documents shall result in their bid being found non-responsible / responsive.
The Bid Form''s unit and grand total costs shall be used to determine the low "responsive and
responsible" bidder. Prospective bidders are notified hereby that their unit costs and total price for
the listed items on the Bid Form shall be all inclusive for each line item. Furthermore, line-item
unit costs must also include costs associated with all labor burden items. The grand total bid price
calculated on the Bid Form shall be reflected on Form 5A. The correct summation of the line
items, obtained by multiplying the quantity by the quoted unit cost prices entered therein, together
with lump sum prices (if applicable) will be considered as the total bid amount. In the event of a
discrepancy between a unit bid price and an extension, the unit bid price will govern. Obvious
mathematical errors on the Bid Form discovered by the County (PortMiami) will be corrected.
The lowest responsive and responsible bidder shall be awarded a contract with a maximum
contract value not to exceed $481,000.00 (Base Contract $400,000.00 & Dedicated Allowances
$81,000.00). Based on these parameters, the Contractor shall be required to provide a Payment
and Performance Bond.
Quantities and Utilization: The quantities listed in the Bid Form (bidding model) are estimates
only, which are provided by PortMiami solely for the purpose of providing a competitive basis for
comparing the cumulative effect of the unit prices submitted by multiple contractors to establish
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Actual quantities assigned via the work order
process may vary significantly based on future needs and field conditions.
All work will be issued to and billed by the Contractor based on assigned work orders. Payment
against said work orders shall be based on the quantities of actual work performed at the unit
price for the line item(s) listed in the Contractor's bid form.
Response Time and Scheduling: Selected contractor must agree to respond to an
emergency/priority call within two (2) hours of first contact from PortMiami staff and be available
to respond immediately depending on the circumstances with the necessary equipment, materials
and labor force to complete the required work in accordance with PortMiami''s schedule for
completion. The definition of an adequate response shall be determined at PortMiami''s sole
discretion on a case-by-case basis. Once a contractor has responded within two (2) hours,
PortMiami staff will work with the contractor to determine the best course of action, establish the
scope of the work and schedule the work. Failure to respond two consecutive times within two (2)
hours of being contacted for work may result in the firm being removed from participation in the
work order-based program. Some of the work may have to be completed at night to minimize
disruptions to PortMiami''s business operations. Please adjust unit costs accordingly.

for 365 days from the issuance of the initial Notice to Proceed, with the option for a one-year
