including stops, idling, etc., with real time message alerts for speeding.

interaction required. Each bidder must submit in their bid the additional
cost of providing such eqUipment and the software and service required to

relief as provided by law, including attorney's fees and full costs associated with the
violation and restoration of service. In the event of a strike, work stoppage, or
interference with the operations and accomplishment of the mission of the City, the
Contractor and any association representing the Contractor's employees shall promptly
and publicly order the employees to return to work and attempt to bring about a
prompt resumption of normal operations.

other than a bona fide employee working solely for the Contractor to solicit or secure
the agreement and that it has not paid or agreed to pay any person, company,

2. I understand that a ""public entity crime" as defmed in Paragraph 287.133 (l)(g), Florida Statutes,
means a violation of any sq.te or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the
transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other
state or of the United States, including but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to

QUESTION AND ANSWER

4. ~ 2014, the Affordable Health Care Act will incur significant costs to ~ontr.aetors in the
area of personnel benefi~. Since its sianina into law in 2010, the Act has had Iltitelmpact on bid.
pricing, and many contractors have chose" to disregard the mst Implications of this act In price
proposal$. ~ we cdnsl$bmtty budtJet thesf! costs In our operations, our company hils been
challenged In prQCur~when competina .. salnst those companies whose price has been
artlft!;IaBy lowered by failure to comply with the provisions of this 'law. In an effort to en;we
compllaJlQt with the AffordIbte Healtheare Act, we respectfully ask that the City of Aventura
takes one of the foUowlng actions:
• Mandate that all bidders comply (in both technical and price proposals) with the provisionS of this ~
effectiYeJanuary 2014.atld submit offitiat certification of complance; and I or
• Pl'QVIde bendvnarlc costs per employee for healthcare obtained throush the Affordable Health Care
Act; thU$ emurine thar lit bidders are usins the same per person costs When projecting partklpation
levels alld overall cost reJatlve to benefits; Or
• Provide adequate assurances that the CIty of Aventura wIU open contract negotiations at the time that
thi5 Act il'npacts emplOyersCand not before); thus allowins bidders to submit price proposals based on
the current costs of doi,.. busil1ess. WIth this Act not yet set Into law.
Answer: The City of Aventura has no special experti.se in the provisions of the Affordable Care
Act and presumes that companies bidding wi" comply with federal law as they would with any
federal law. While the City assumes any company that is submitting a bid will meet the
minlmu,m thresholds for complying with the Act, an addendum can be sent/posted that notes
that bidders subject to the ACA shall submit bids that comply with the proviSions of the Act and
to provide benchmark costs per employee for healthcare obtained through the ACA.
5. Currently, our company installs DrIVe Cam (an event triggered device that records sudden stops,
aggressive tumlng.. or an accldent) on all vehkles to manag~ ul')safe driving Habits and minimize
accidents. Would the County object to the contractor installing D'rille CAM on the vehicles?
Answer: It is the City of Aventura that is providing the service, not Miami-Dade County. The City would
not objec;t to having the Drtve CAM system installed in its vehicles.
6. Would·the City consider Drive Cam as meeting the requirement of "securitv cameras" on board
the vehll:Jes?
Answer: The purpose of requiring security cameras is to be able to monitor passenger and operator
activities on the bus to en$ure evidence is available in the event of an accident or a dispute between
pa5.5engefs and the operators. .If Drive CAM can do those things, it would be acceptable. but if it cannot,
then additional security cameras will be required.
7. section 3.1 pap 25 of the RFP 2 displays -Service Miles" Monday -Saw rday. However, Saturday
service begins one hour later, thus one trip later than weekday service on four routes. Please
provide the Weekday and SaturdaV stuvlce Miles reflecting the number oftrips.
Answer: The total numbers of service mites provided on a weekday are 449. On Saturdays, the total
number of service miles provided is 463 taldng Into account that service starts one hour later, but
ser'iite Is provided in the eveninss on two routes.
8. The RfP ~ not spedf'1Ca1/y define Hours of Service. Please confirm that thetenn includes a/l
time from the first tlmepoint of the day until the last tirt:lepoint of the day, including ffecovery
TIme.
AnSWer: The route schedules have been developed to provide between 5 and ten minutes of
recovery tlme at the end of each route, each hour). The "hours of service" inc:lude·that recovery
time.
9. Please provide expectations of driver training (hours, topics, etc.).
Answer: The topics required to be covered are included in the IFB on page 35. With only
fIVe fixed routes, the service provided by Aventura is not as complex as many other fixed
route systems, and the e-quipment used is not the size used In standard fixed route
systems. Hence l the training Is not expected to take as long as It usually does for other
fIXed route systems. Each driver should know each route and be required to drive that
route in practlc~ prior to provldlnslive service. It would be expected that there be at least
ten days of training for the contractor to feel assured they have covered all topics and made
their operators familiar with all routes, but bidders are required to provide their training
programs for City review. See attached exhibit II.

the contract In accortlanc:e with the prices they have bid.

services wi. be needed and the number of thnes a year. How many vehicles have been needed

and used from 820 -830. We had the vehicles p"'l)rOduction.and tested for them for over a

Chevy and Ford will honor their warranties for diesel engines using BlOfi'omreputabte
