Compliance and Enforcement 1. These provisions address the additional contractual remedies available to the Airport Board as a result of the Contractor’s failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the M/WBE Program Policy and Administrative Procedures. The contractual remedies set forth are also applicable to the Contractor’s failure to comply with the Program requirements, as well as any remedies available at law or in equity. These remedies are not intended to apply to the Contractor’s failure to comply with other obligations under the Contract unrelated to the Program requirements or preclude Airport Board’s recovery of its actual damages for such unrelatedbreaches.
2. The Contractor must attend and participate in onboarding, progress, non- compliance meetings and site visits upon request. The Contractor must forward all necessary documents and information during the course of performance and to close out the Contract and must cooperate with BDDD in providing any information, including the final accounting for M/WBE participation on the Contract.
3. BDDD is empowered to receive and investigate complaints and allegations by M/WBEs, third parties or Airport Board Staff, or to initiate its own investigations, regarding Contractor’s compliance with the Program requirements. If BDDD determines that an investigation is warranted, the Contractor must fully cooperate with the investigation and provide complete, truthful information to the Airport Board or its representatives concerning the investigation and Contractor’s compliance with the Program requirements.
4. The failure of the Contractor to meet the M/WBE contractual commitment or comply with any other aspect of the Program requirements will constitute a material breach of the Contract entitling the Airport Board or its representatives to exercise any remedy available in this Contract, the Program requirements or applicable law. In addition, the failure of the Contractor to meet the M/WBE contractual commitment or comply with any other aspect of the Program requirements may be considered and have a bearing on future contract award considerations.
5. Any suspected false, fraudulent or dishonest conduct relating to the Contractor’s performance of the Program requirements may be reported to the Airport Board’s Department of Audit Services or to any applicable enforcement agency, including the State Attorney General's Office and appropriate federal law enforcement authorities.
6. If Contractor is in breach of any of the Program requirements, the Airport Board or its representatives may exercise any of following remedies, in addition to any other remedies available to it under this Contract or at law or in equity:
a. withholding funds payable under this Contract, including, but not limited to, funds payable for work self-performed by the Contractor or applicable retainage;
b. temporarily suspending, at no cost to DFW, Contractor’s performance under the Agreement/Contract;
c. termination of the Agreement/Contract;
d. suspension/debarment of Contractor for a period of time from participating in any solicitations issued by DFW for severity of breach of Contract.
7. With respect to a firm not meeting a goal on a previous contract or the underutilization of an M/WBE (or SBEs, if applicable) on a previous contract, BDDD shall regard as non-responsive any bid, proposal or competitive selection process proposal received that includes the Contractor, consultant as a Contractor, consultant, subcontractor, subconsultant, joint venture, supplier, manufacturer’s representative, or broker.
8. With respect to M/WBE firms, a finding of non-compliance could result in a denial of certification or removal of eligibility and/or suspension and debarment.
Construction and Enforcement This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without and application of the principles of conflicts of laws. If it becomes necessary for any party to institute legal action to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such legal action results in a final judgment in favor of such party ("Prevailing Party"), then the party or parties against whom said final judgment is obtained shall reimburse the Prevailing Party for all direct, indirect or incidental expenses incurred, including, but not limited to, all attorney's fees, court costs and other expenses incurred throughout all negotiations, trials or appeals undertaken in order to enforce the Prevailing Party's rights hereunder. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in St. Lucie County in the State of Florida. The parties hereto hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof brought in St. Lucie County, Florida, and hereby further irrevocably waive any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in St. Lucie County, Florida, has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Audits, Inspection and Enforcement Within ten (10) days of a request by CE, BA and its agents and subcontractors shall allow CE or its agents or subcontractors to conduct a reasonable inspection of the facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures relating to the use or disclosure of Protected Information pursuant to this Addendum for the purpose of determining whether BA has complied with this Addendum or maintains adequate security safeguards; provided, however, that (i) BA and CE shall mutually agree in advance upon the scope, timing, and location of such an inspection, (ii) CE shall protect the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of BA to which CE has access during the course of such inspection; and (iii) CE shall execute a nondisclosure agreement, upon terms mutually agreed upon by the parties, if requested by BA. The fact that CE inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect, BA’s facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies, and procedures does not relieve BA of its responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does CE’s (i) failure to detect or (ii) detection, but failure to notify BA or require BA’s remediation of any unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE’s enforcement rights under the Contract or Addendum. BA shall notify CE within five (5) days of learning that BA has become the subject of an audit, compliance review, or complaint investigation by the Office of Civil Rights or other state or federal government entity.
