FROM:Genaro “Chip” Iglesias,City Manager
DATE:Monday, November 4, 2024
SUBJECT:Procure a 2024 Kubota Utility Tractor ($47,073.15).
RECOMMENDATION:Approve the purchase of a Kubota Utility Tractor from Florida Coast

BACKGROUND:The City’s Parks, Recreation, and Culture Department (the “Department”)
seeks to utilize the Florida Department of Management Services Contract

The proposed tractor comes equipped with a front-end loader, claw grapple,
and pallet forks, offering several benefits that improve efficiency,
versatility, and effectiveness in maintenance tasks. Key advantages include

picnic tables, tree stumps, and large stones.
Overall, this tractor and its attachments significantly enhance the park
maintenance team’s ability to perform tasks quickly, efficiently, and with
greater precision, ultimately improving the park’s upkeep and visitor
experience.

Contract Name: Agriculture and Lawn Equipment
State Term Contract No. 25101900-21-STC Page 1 of 4
This Contract Amendment to Contract No. 25101900-21-STC (“Contract”) is made by and
between the State of Florida, Department of Management Services (“Department”) and Florida
Coast Equipment, Inc. (“Contractor”), with its principal place of business located at 346 Pike
Road, Unit 7, Westy Palm Beach, FL 33411-3819, collectively referred to herein as the
“Parties.”
WHEREAS the Parties entered into Contract No. 25101900-21-STC on January 19, 2021, for
the provision of Agriculture and Lawn Equipment; and
WHEREAS the Parties agreed that the Contract may be amended by mutual agreement as
provided in Section 6.9, Modification and Severability, of Attachment 1, Special Contract
Conditions ,.
ACCORDINGLY, and in consideration of the mutual promises contained in the Contract
documents, the Parties agree as follows:
I. Contract Amendment. The Contract shall be amended as follows:
a. All references to the term “price sheet” throughout the Contract are hereby amended
to read as “product sheet.”
b. “Net Price” as defined in Section 2, Definitions, of Attachment 2, Scope of Work, is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Net Price - The final price paid by the Customer after applying all MSRP discounts and MSRP
Credits. The Net Price for Base Equipment, OEM and Non-OEM Option(s), Part(s),
Accessory(ies), and Implement(s); and their respective features, equipment, and components
shall include all charges for the Commodity, including but not limited to packing, handling,
freight, distribution, transportation, startup, pre-delivery, delivery, inspection, installation,
construction, assembly, title, and registration. The Contractor may include shipping charges for
OEM and Non-OEM Options, Parts, Accessories, and Implements that the customer orders
separately from the Base Equipment. Additional charges for a Commodity shall not be charged
outside of the Net Price unless expressly authorized within the Scope of Work.
Charges and fees in excess of those that existed at the inception of the Contract may be extended
to the Customer only if the amount of the increase is attributable to changes in market conditions.
Prior to extending any such charge or fee to the Customer, the Contractor must request the
Customer’s approval by submitting documentation and justification for extending the amount of
the charge or fee. The Contractor must explain the changes in market conditions that resulted in
the charge or fee, identify the entity that determines and will receive the charge or fee (e.g.,

Contract Name: Agriculture and Lawn Equipment
State Term Contract No. 25101900-21-STC Page 2 of 4
Manufacturer). The amount of the charge or fee extended to the Customer shall not exceed the
difference between the amount of the charge or fee at the time the Contractor requests the
Customer’s approval and the amount of the charge or fee that existed at the inception of the
Contract. The Customer may approve or deny the charge or fee request. If deemed necessary by
the Customer or the Contractor, the request may be escalated to the Department by submitting
the same documentation that was submitted to the Customer to the Contract Manager . The
Department reserves the exclusive right to approve or deny the escalated charge or fee request.
If the charge or fee request is denied, the Contractor may withdraw the PQF. After obtaining
written approval to extend the charge or fee, the approved amount of the charge or fee must be
listed separately on the PQF. The Contractor shall provide documentation of approval by the
Customer or Department with the PQF that includes the charge or fee.
c. The contract is amended to replace Section 3.24, MSRP List and Product Adjustments,
of Attachment 2, Scope of Work, in its entirety:
3.24 MSRP List and MSRP List Adjustments

Lists must be accompanied by a revised Product Sheet, as described in Section 3.25, Product
Sheet and Product Sheet Adjustments, as well as a list of all changes made from the previously
submitted version of the MSRP List. Commodities added must be from a Manufacturer/Brand
Name for which the Contractor received an award and fall within the scope of a Group or Sub-
Group for which the Contractor received an award. Products removed must be discontinued and
no longer available from the Manufacturer. The Contractor shall be responsible for removing all
non-eligible and unacceptable Commodities under the Contract from the Contractor’s MSRP
List.

of Attachment 2, Scope of Work, in its entirety:

SECTION 11. CONTRACT MONITORING.

The Contractor agrees to perform all tasks and provide deliverables as set forth in the
Contract. The Department and the Customer will be entitled at all times, upon request, to
be advised as to the status of work being done by the Contractor and of the details
thereof.
11.2 Performance Deficiencies and Financial Consequences of Non-Performance.
11.2.1 Proposal of Corrective Action Plan.
In addition to the processes set forth in the Contract (e.g., service level agreements), if
the Department or Customer determines that there is a performance deficiency that
requires correction by the Contractor, then the Department or Customer will notify the
Contractor. The correction must be made within a time-frame specified by the
Department or Customer. The Contractor must provide the Department or Customer with
a corrective action plan describing how the Contractor will address all performance
deficiencies identified by the Department or Customer.
11.2.2 Retainage for Unacceptable Corrective Action Plan or Plan Failure.
If the corrective action plan is unacceptable to the Department or Customer, or
implementation of the plan fails to remedy the performance deficiencies, the Department
or Customer will retain ten percent (10%) of the total invoice amount. The retainage will
be withheld until the Contractor resolves the performance deficiencies. If the
performance deficiencies are resolved, the Contractor may invoice the Department or
Customer for the retained amount. If the Contractor fails to resolve the performance
deficiencies, the retained amount will be forfeited to compensate the Department or
Customer for the performance deficiencies.
11.3 Performance Delay.
11.3.1 Notification.
The Contractor will promptly notify the Department or Customer upon becoming aware
of any circumstances that may reasonably be expected to jeopardize the timely and
successful completion (or delivery) of any commodity or contractual service. The
Contractor will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any delays in
performance and will inform the Department or the Customer of the steps the Contractor
is taking or will take to do so, and the projected actual completion (or delivery) time. If
the Contractor believes a delay in performance by the Department or the Customer has
caused or will cause the Contractor to be unable to perform its obligations on time, the
Contractor will promptly so notify the Department and use commercially reasonable
efforts to perform its obligations on time notwithstanding the Department’s delay.
11.3.2 Liquidated Damages.
The Contractor acknowledges that delayed performance will damage the
DepartmentCustomer, but by their nature such damages are difficult to ascertain.

apply. Liquidated damages are not intended to be a penalty and are solely intended to
compensate for damages.
11.4 Force Majeure, Notice of Delay, and No Damages for Delay.

32
SP approved version 7‐1‐2019 15
The Contractor will not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if
neither the fault nor the negligence of the Contractor or its employees or agents
contributed to the delay, and the delay is due directly to fire, explosion, earthquake,
windstorm, flood, radioactive or toxic chemical hazard, war, military hostilities, terrorism,
civil emergency, embargo, riot, strike, violent civil unrest, or other similar cause wholly
beyond the Contractor’s reasonable control, or for any of the foregoing that affect
subcontractors or suppliers if no alternate source of supply is available to the Contractor.
The foregoing does not excuse delay which could have been avoided if the Contractor
implemented any risk mitigation required by the Contract. In case of any delay the
Contractor believes is excusable, the Contractor will notify the Department in writing of
the delay or potential delay and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten (10)
calendar days after the cause that created or will create the delay first arose, if the
Contractor could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result, or (2) if delay is
not reasonably foreseeable, within five (5) calendar days after the date the Contractor
first had reason to believe that a delay could result. The foregoing will constitute the
Contractor’s sole remedy or excuse with respect to delay. Providing notice in strict
accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No claim for
damages will be asserted by the Contractor. The Contractor will not be entitled to an
increase in the Contract price or payment of any kind from the Department for direct,
indirect, consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not
limited to costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption,
interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If performance is suspended or
delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after
the causes have ceased to exist the Contractor will perform at no increased cost, unless
the Department determines, in its sole discretion, that the delay will significantly impair
the value of the Contract to the State of Florida or to Customers, in which case the
Department may (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from the Contractor,
provided that the Contractor grants preferential treatment to Customers and the
Department with respect to commodities or contractual services subjected to allocation,
or (2) purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by the Contractor for the
related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the commodity or contractual
services that are the subject of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the
Contract quantity, or (3) terminate the Contract in whole or in part.
SECTION 12. CONTRACT AUDITS.
12.1 Performance or Compliance Audits.
The Department may conduct or have conducted performance and/or compliance audits
of the Contractor and subcontractors as determined by the Department. The Department
may conduct an audit and review all the Contractor’s and subcontractors’ data and

agreements or contracts with subcontractors, partners, or agents of the Contractor,
pertaining to the Contract, may be inspected by the Department upon fifteen (15)
calendar days’ notice, during normal working hours and in accordance with the

copy of its DHS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to the Contract Manager within
five (5) calendar days of Contract execution. If the Contractor is not enrolled in DHS E-
Verify System, it will do so within five (5) calendar days of notice of Contract award and
provide the Contract Manager a copy of its MOU within five (5) calendar days of

Contractor or subcontractor new hire, the Contractor must provide a statement within

that are sold to any federal, state, or local governments. The Manufacturer’s standard
warranty shall have a minimum term of one year from the Customer’s acceptance, as
specified in the ‘Acceptance’ section, and shall begin only at the time of acceptance by the
Customer.
Should the Manufacturer’s standard warranty conflict with any requirements, specifications,

3.11 Acceptance
The Customer, within three Business Days of delivery, will inspect the Commodity received
for acceptability. The Customer should compare the physical Commodity delivered; contract
prices, discounts, requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions; Customer order; and
Manufacturer’s Window Sticker / Manufacturer’s Invoice(s) to ensure the Commodity
received meets or exceeds the requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions of the
Contract and Customer order. Additionally, the Customer should inspect the Commodity for
any damage. The Contractor is obligated to correct any errors or damage. Failure by the
Customer to discover an error or damage in the Commodity shall not relieve the Contractor
from its obligation to correct the error or damage in the event it is found any time after the
Commodity is delivered.
The Parties agree that inspection and acceptance shall be the Customer’s responsibility and
occur at the location of the Customer. Title and risk of loss or damage to all Commodities
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor until accepted by the Customer. The Contractor
shall be responsible for filing, processing, and collecting all damage claims. The Customer
shall assist the Contractor by:
• Recording any evidence of visible damage on all copies of the delivering carrier’s bill of
lading;

• Confirming said reports in writing within fifteen Business Days of delivery, requesting
that the carrier inspect the damaged merchandise; and
• Providing the Contractor with a copy of the carrier’s bill of lading and damage inspection
report.
Transportation and delivery of the Commodity does not constitute acceptance for the
purpose of payment. Acceptance and authorization of payment shall be given by the
Customer only after a thorough inspection indicates that the Commodity is undamaged and
meets the Contract requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions. Should the
delivered Commodity be damaged or differ in any respect from the Contract requirements,
specifications, terms, and conditions, payment shall be withheld until such time as the
Contractor completes the required, Customer-approved, corrective action.
Should the Commodity require service or adjustments as part of the Customer-approved
corrective action(s), the Contractor shall either remedy the defect or be responsible for
reimbursing the Manufacturer’s local service Dealer or others selected by the Customer to
remedy the defect. The Contractor shall initiate such required service or adjustments within
two Business Days following notification by the Customer. The Commodity shall not be
accepted until all service or adjustments are satisfactory and the Commodity is re-delivered
in acceptable condition. The costs of any transportation and delivery required as part of the
initial or any re-deliveries due to error or damage are the responsibility of the Contractor.
The Customer shall notify the Department of any Contract deviation that it cannot resolve
with the Contractor. The Department and Customer shall develop a corrective action plan
related to the Contract deviation, which may include the Customer’s permanent refusal to
accept the Commodity, in which case the Commodity shall remain the property of the
Contractor, and the Customer and the State shall not be liable for payment for any portion
thereof.

3.12 Installation
When installation is required, the Contractor shall be responsible for placing and installing the
Commodities or parts in the required locations at no additional charge. All materials used in
the installation shall be of good quality and shall be free of defects that would diminish the
appearance of the Commodity or render it structurally or operationally unsound. Installation

interference with Customers and with proper consideration of others on site. Upon completion

and unobstructed condition, with everything in satisfactory repair and order.
3.13 Full-Service Repair Facilities
The Contractor agrees to maintain at least one factory-authorized service station or servicing
Dealer within the State of Florida to perform warranty repairs and adjustments throughout the
Contract term. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Department of any changes thereto. The
Contractor shall be responsible for all service performed, regardless of whether the Contractor
or its approved Dealer actually performed the service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

repair of goods after the initial warranty expires. The Contractor shall list this additional service

3.15 Purchasing Card
The State has implemented a purchasing card program using the Visa platform. The

DocuSign Envelope ID: 2FBA4B5F-2CD0-4291-B26E-66EC2D0F798D
45
Page 11 of 16
Purchasing Card platform during the term of Contract, the Contractor shall make any
necessary changes to accommodate the State ‘s new Purchasing Card platform within 30
calendar days of notification of such change.
3.16 Punchout Catalog and Electronic Invoicing
The Contractor is encouraged to provide a MFMP punchout catalog. The punchout catalog
provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State access to Products awarded
under the Contract. The punchout catalog also allows for direct communication between the
MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system,
which can reflect real-time Product inventory/availability information.
Through utilization of the punchout catalog model, a Florida buyer will “punch out” to a
supplier’s website. Using the search tools on the supplier’s Florida punchout catalog site, the
user selects the desired Products. When complete, the user exits the supplier’s punchout
catalog site and the shopping cart (full of Products) is “brought back” to MFMP. No orders are
sent to a supplier when the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site. Instead, the chosen
Products are “brought back” to MFMP as line items in a purchase order. The user can then
proceed through the normal workflow steps, which may include adding/editing the Products
(i.e., line items) in the purchase order. An order is not submitted to a supplier until the user
approves and submits the purchase order, at which point the supplier receives an email with
the order details.
The Contractor may supply electronic invoices in lieu of paper-based invoices for those
transactions processed through MFMP. Electronic invoices may be submitted to the agency
through one of the mechanisms as listed below:
1) EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (810) for
use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This
transaction set can be used for invoicing via the Ariba Network (AN) for catalog and
non-catalog goods and services.
2) PO Flip via AN
This online process allows Contractors to submit invoices via the AN for catalog and
non-catalog goods and services. Contractors have the ability to create an invoice
directly from their inbox in their AN account by simply "flipping" the PO into an
invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical capabilities.
The Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby
grants the State and the third-party provider of MFMP, a State contractor, the right and license
to use, reproduce, transmit, distribute, and publicly display within MFMP. In addition, the
Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants
the State and the third-party provider the right and license to reproduce and display within
MFMP the Contractor's trademarks, system marks, logos, trade dress, or other branding
designation that identifies the products made available by the Contractor under the Contract.
The Contractor will work with the MFMP management team to obtain specific requirements for
the electronic invoicing if needed.
