Questions & Answers

Question

Question/Comment: If a subconsultant is on more than one team, can their personnel participate in an interview for more than

one team?

7 06/03/2026

Answer: Per Section 1.14.5, Paragraph 5,” If a proposed Subconsultant is listed as a Subconsultant on more than one (1) team,

then it is the responsibility of the Subconsultant to disclose this information with each respective team.”

Question/Comment: Section 1.14.1 states that resumes are required for the proposed Project Manager and Project Leaders;

however, the RFQ does not define the term "Project Leader." Since the Scope of Services also requires firms to identify team

leaders for each task area, (1) can BMPO clarify whether a Project Leader refers to the designated lead individual for each

task category, or if a different definition is intended? (2) Additionally, should resumes be provided for all task area leaders

identified in the proposal?

8 06/03/2026

Answer: (1) Yes, Project Leader refers to the designated lead individual for each Task category (do not include subtasks). For

example, Task 1 MPO Administration: 1 individual staff person for the entire task and not broken down by subtask.

(2) Yes, please provide one individual Task Leader resume for Tasks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9.

Question/Comment: Proposer requests clarification and revision of Section 1.4 "Scope of Services" (page 40 of the RFQ

package, paragraph 4). The proposed revision adds a professional Standard of Care provision consistent with industry practice for

planning and engineering services agreements. The revision establishes an objective and recognized standard for evaluating

Consultant performance while preserving BMPO's rights and remedies under the Agreement.

Proposer’s Proposed Revision

1.4 Standard of Care. In performing the Services under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall perform in a manner consistent

9 06/03/2026 with the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession practicing under similar circumstances at

the same time and in the same locality. No other warranty, express or implied, is made or intended by this Agreement.

Answer: This provision acknowledges conformance is expected to be consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily

exercised by that profession under similar circumstances at that time and locality.

The requested changes are not accepted, and the original language remains the same.

Question

Question/Comment: Proposer requests clarification and revision of Section 3.5 "Compensation" (page 41 of the RFQ package,

paragraph 1). The proposed revision incorporates the Standard of Care set forth in Section 1.4 to establish a clear and objective

standard for determining whether professional services are inadequate or defective. This promotes consistency in the

administration of the Agreement while preserving BMPO's right to withhold payment for services that do not meet the applicable

professional standard.

Proposer’s Proposed Revision

3.5 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the BMPO Executive Director may withhold, in whole or in

part, payment to the extent necessary to protect BMPO from loss on account of inadequate or defective work that fails to meet the

Standard of Care set forth in Section 1.4 which and has not been remedied or resolved in a manner satisfactory to the Executive

Director. The amount withheld shall not be subject to payment of interest by BMPO.

Answer: The requested changes are not accepted, and the original language remains the same.

Question/Comment: Proposer requests clarification and revision of Section 9.2 "Ownership of Documents" (page 47 of the RFQ

package, paragraph 1). The proposed language clarifies ownership of project-specific work product versus the Contractor's pre-

existing intellectual property and proprietary tools, while preserving BMPO's intended rights to use the deliverables under this

Agreement. The revisions also clarify responsibility for unauthorized modifications or reuse of the work product, consistent with

standard professional services practice.

Proposer’s Proposed Revision

9.2 Unless otherwise provided by law, any and all reports, surveys, and other data and documents provided or created in

connection with this Agreement are and shall remain the property of BMPO. In the event of termination of this Agreement, any

reports, photographs, surveys and other data and documents prepared by CONTRACTOR, whether finished or unfinished, shall

11 06/03/2026 become the property of BMPO and shall be delivered by CONTRACTOR to the BMPO Executive Director within seven (7) days

of termination of this Agreement by either party. Any compensation due to CONTRACTOR shall be withheld until all documents

are received as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CONTRACTOR retains ownership of any pre-existing

intellectual property, proprietary tools, and methodologies used in performing the Services. To the extent such IP is incorporated

into the work product, CONTRACTOR grants BMPO a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use it solely for the purposes

contemplated by this Agreement. BMPO shall not revise, alter, or reuse the work product for any purpose other than that

contemplated by or construction contractors who control means, methods, labor, and materials.

Answer: The requested changes are not accepted, and the original language remains the same.

Question

Question/Comment: Proposer requests clarification and revision of Section 9.10 "Assignment and Performance" (page 51 of the RFQ

package, paragraph 3 & 4). The proposed revision incorporates the professional Standard of Care set forth in Section 1.4 and establishes an

objective, industry-recognized standard for evaluating Contractor performance while preserving BMPO's rights and remedies under the

Agreement.

Proposer’s Proposed Revision

9.10 CONTRACTOR represents that all persons delivering the services required by this Agreement have the knowledge and skills, either by

12

06/03/2026

training, experience, education, or a combination thereof, to adequately and competently perform the duties, obligations, and services set forth

in the RFQ and to provide and perform such services to BMPO’s satisfaction, as determined in accordance with the applicable professional

standard of care, for the agreed compensation.

CONTRACTOR shall perform its duties, obligations and services under this Agreement in a skillful and respectable manner accordance with

the Standard of Care set forth in Section 1.4.

Answer: The requested changes are not accepted, and the original language remains the same.

Question/Comment: Proposer requests clarification and revision of the "Final Release On Contract And Affidavit" Form (page 78 of the RFP

package, paragraph 2 & 4). The revision clarifies that final payment resolves payment-related matters only and does not unintentionally waive

non-payment claims or obligations that survive completion of the Agreement. Limiting the release to payment claims preserves the BMPO's

ability to close out compensation while allowing the Agreement's remaining terms to continue as intended. Additionally, Proposer requests

deletion of “defend” because the proposed language expands the indemnification obligations contained in the Agreement and imposes a

defense obligation not included in the Agreement’s indemnification provision (Section 7.1). The Agreement’s indemnification provision is

consistent with Florida Statute § 725.08 for design professional services, and the Final Release Form should not impose broader obligations

than those negotiated in the Agreement.

Proposer’s Proposed Revision

13 06/03/2026 In accordance with the Contract Documents and in consideration of ____________________ Dollars ($ ) paid, <Contractor> releases and

waives for itself and its Subcontractors, material-person, successors and assigns, all undisputed payment claims, demands, damages, costs and

expenses, whether in contract or in tort, against the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (“BMPO”) existing under the laws of the

State of Florida relating in any way to the performance of Agreement No. between THE BMPO and <Contractor>.

<Contractor> agrees to indemnify, defend and save hold harmless the BMPO from all demands or suits, actions, claims of liens or other

charges filed or asserted against the BMPO, arising out of to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful

conduct in the performance by <Contractor> of the Work covered by this Final Release on Contract and Affidavit.

Answer: The requested changes are not accepted, and the original language remains the same.
