Questions & Answers
Total: 2
| Question | Date Asked | Answer | Date Answered |
|
1. Would the SDOC remove the requirement for the consultant to provide services in the best interest of the SDOC, as shown in section 7.1.5 of the draft contract? In accepting a fiduciary duty, an individual or entity enters a commitment to act in the best interests of a beneficiary and this goes against an engineer’s ethical obligation to provide services to the best interest of the public’s safety.
2. As currently worded in Section 7.1.8 of the draft contract, the SDOC is asking the consultant to assume the highest professional standards in performing its work. While Kimley-Horn is committed to serving its clients, we are only required to do so in accordance with the professional standard of care, which is the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by consultants performing the same or similar services in the same locality at the time the services are provided. The relationship currently described in the proposal exceeds the Standard of Care to be provided by Design Professionals. Would the SDOC modify this language to comply with the foregoing language? 3. The indemnification language in sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the draft agreement is in violation of Florida Statute 725.08 and we believe it is void and unenforceable. Would the SDOC modify this language to make it compliant? Suggested language per Florida Statute 725.08: “The design professional shall indemnify and hold harmless the agency, and its officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys` fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the design professional and other persons employed or utilized by the design professional in the performance of the contract.” 4. In the RFP package, section 3.11-Performance and Payment Bonds, the SDOC is requiring the consultant to obtain performance payment bonds for projects in excess of $200,000 and liquidated damages will be assessed if the bonds are not acquired. Would the SDOC please remove this section? These types of bonds are not applicable to the services of design professionals. 5. In section 3.12 of the RFP – Federal Grants Terms and Conditions, the SDOC is requiring the consultant to adhere to Federal terms should Federal Grants fund a project. Would the SDOC please provide a copy of those terms for review? |

| Given that this is an on-call contract with a range of tasks and unpredictable project scopes, is it acceptable to leave the dollar value and percentage of the contract blank on Attachment E? We remain fully committed to meeting or exceeding the 10% participation goal. | 8/15/2025 9:39:37 AM |
