The following instructions on how all landowners may participate in the election are intended to comply with Section 190.006(2)(b), Florida Statutes. A landowner may vote in person at the landowners’ meeting, or the landowner may nominate a proxy holder to vote at the meeting in place of the landowner. Whether in person or by proxy, each landowner shall be entitled to cast one vote per acre of land owned by him or her and located within the District, for each position on the Board that is open for election for the upcoming term. A fraction of an acre shall be treated as one (1) acre, entitling the landowner to one vote with respect thereto. For purposes of determining voting interests, platted lots shall be counted individually and rounded up to the nearest whole acre. Moreover, please note that a particular parcel of real property is entitled to only one vote for each eligible acre of land or fraction thereof; therefore, two or more people who own real property in common, that is one acre or less, are together entitled to only one vote for that real property. At the landowners’ meeting, the first step is to elect a chair for the meeting, who may be any person present at the meeting. The landowners shall also elect a secretary for the meeting who may be any person present at the meeting. The secretary shall be responsible for the minutes of the meeting. The chair shall conduct the nominations and the voting. If the chair is a landowner or proxy holder of a landowner, he or she may nominate candidates and make second motions. Candidates must be nominated and then shall be elected by a vote of the landowners. Nominees may be elected only to a position on the Board that is open for election for the upcoming term. Five (5) seats on the Board will be up for election by landowners. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected for a term of four (4) years. The three candidates receiving the next highest number of votes shall be elected for a term of two (2) years. The term of office for the successful landowner candidate shall commence upon election. A proxy is available upon request. To be valid, each proxy must be signed by one of the legal owners of the property for which the vote is cast and must contain the typed or printed name of the individual who signed the proxy; the street address, legal description of the property or tax parcel identification number; and the number of authorized votes. If the proxy authorizes more than one vote, each property must be listed and the number of acres of each property must be included. The signature on a proxy does not need to be notarized.

WHEREAS, Dowden Central Community Development District (the “District”) previously indicated its intention to construct certain types of infrastructure improvements and to finance such infrastructure improvements through the issuance of bonds, which bonds would be repaid by the imposition of special assessments on benefited property within the District; and WHEREAS, the District Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) noticed and conducted a public hearing pursuant to Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes, relating to the imposition, levy, collection and enforcement of such assessments. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF DOWDEN CENTRAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR THIS RESOLUTION. This Resolution is adopted pursuant to Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes, including without limitation, Section 170.08, Florida Statutes. SECTION 2. FINDINGS. The Board hereby finds and determines as follows: (a) The District is a local unit of special-purpose government organized and existing under and pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, as amended. (b) The District is authorized by Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, to finance, fund, plan, establish, acquire, install, equip, operate, extend, construct, or reconstruct a stormwater management system; public roadways and related sidewalks, signage, and striping; water and wastewater facilities, including lift stations; off-site improvements, including turn lanes and utility extensions; recreational amenities and parks; undergrounding of electrical utility lines within rights-of-way; entry features, perimeter walls, and landscaping and hardscaping within District common areas and rights-of-way; an irrigation system; and other related infrastructure projects and services necessitated by the development of, and serving lands within, the District (together, the “Capital Improvements”). (c) The District is authorized by Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, to levy and impose special assessments to pay all, or any part of, the cost of such infrastructure projects and services and to issue special assessment bonds payable from such special assessments as provided in Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes. (d) It is necessary to the public health, safety and welfare and in the best interests of the District that (i) the District provide the Capital Improvements, the nature and location of which is described in the Dowden Central Community Development District Master Engineer’s Report, dated March 27, 2026 (the “Engineer’s Report”) (attached as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by this reference), and which plans and specifications are on file and available for public inspection during normal business hours at the office of the District Manager, Governmental Management Services – Central Florida, LLC, 219 E. Livingston Street, Orlando, Florida 32801 (“District Records Offices”); (ii) the cost of such Capital Improvements be assessed against the lands specially benefited by such Capital Improvements; and (iii) the District issue bonds to provide funds for such purposes pending the receipt of such special assessments. (e) The provision of said Capital Improvements, the levying of such Assessments (hereinafter defined) and the sale and issuance of such bonds serves a proper, essential, and valid public purpose and is in the best interests of the District, its landowners, and residents. (f) In order to provide funds with which to pay all or a portion of the costs of the Capital Improvements which are to be assessed against the benefitted properties, pending the collection of such Assessments, it is necessary for the District from time to time to sell and issue its Special Assessment Bonds, in one or more series (the “Bonds”). (g) By Resolution 2026-33, the Board determined to provide the Capital Improvements and to defray the costs thereof by making Assessments on benefited property and expressed an intention to issue Bonds, notes or other specific financing mechanisms to provide all or a portion of the funds needed for the Capital Improvements prior to the collection of such Assessments. Resolution 2026-33 was adopted in compliance with the requirements of Section 170.03, Florida Statutes, and prior to the time it was adopted, the requirements of Section 170.04, Florida Statutes, had been met. (h) As directed by Resolution 2026-33, said Resolution was published as required by Section 170.05, Florida Statutes, and a copy of the publisher’s affidavit of publication is on file with the Secretary of the Board. (i) As directed by Resolution 2026-33, a preliminary assessment roll was adopted and filed with the Board as required by Section 170.06, Florida Statutes. (j) As required by Section 170.07, Florida Statutes, upon completion of the preliminary assessment roll, the Board adopted Resolution 2026-33, fixing the time and place of a public hearing at which owners of the property to be assessed and other persons interested therein may appear before the Board and be heard as to (1) the propriety and advisability of making the infrastructure improvements, including the Capital Improvements, (2) the cost thereof, (3) the manner of payment therefor, and (4) the amount thereof to be assessed against each specially benefited property or parcel and provided for publication of notice of such public hearing and individual mailed notice in accordance with Chapters 170, 190, and 197, Florida Statutes. (k) Notice of such public hearing was given by publication and also by mail as required by Section 170.07, Florida Statutes. Affidavits as to such publications and mailings are on file in the office of the Secretary of the Board. (l) On May 21, 2026, at the time and place specified in Resolution 2026-33 and the notice referred to in paragraph (k) above, the Board met as an Equalization Board, conducted such public hearing, and heard and considered all complaints and testimony as to the matters described in paragraph (j) above. The Board has made such modifications in the preliminary assessment roll as it deems necessary, just and right in the making of the final assessment roll. (m) Having considered the estimated costs of the Capital Improvements, estimates of financing costs and all complaints and evidence presented at such public hearing, the Board further finds and determines: i. that the estimated costs of the Capital Improvements are as specified in the Engineer’s Report, which Engineer’s Report is hereby adopted and approved, and that the amount of such costs is reasonable and proper; and ii. it is reasonable, proper, just and right to assess the cost of such Capital Improvements against the properties specially benefited thereby using the method determined by the Board set forth in Dowden Central Community Development District Master Special Assessment Methodology Report, dated March 27, 2026, as may be supplemented from time to time (the “Assessment Report,” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference), for the Bonds, which results in the special assessments set forth on the final assessment roll included within such Exhibit B (the “Assessments”); and iii. the Assessment Report is hereby approved, adopted and confirmed. The District ratifies its use in connection with the issuance of the Bonds; iv. it is hereby declared that the Capital Improvements will constitute a special benefit to all parcels of real property listed on said final assessment roll and that the benefit, in the case of each such parcel, will be equal to or in excess of the Assessments thereon when allocated as set forth in Exhibit B; v. that the costs of the Capital Improvements are fairly and reasonably apportioned to the properties specially benefited as set forth in Exhibit B; vi. it is in the best interests of the District that the Assessments be paid and collected as herein provided; and vii. it is reasonable, proper, just and right for the District to utilize the true-up mechanisms and calculations contained in the Assessment Report in order to ensure that all parcels of real property benefiting from the Capital Improvements are assessed accordingly and that sufficient assessment receipts are being generated in order to pay the corresponding bond debt-service when due. SECTION 3. AUTHORIZATION OF DISTRICT PROJECT. That construction of Capital Improvements initially described in Resolution No. 2026-33, and more specifically identified and described in Exhibit A attached hereto, is hereby authorized and approved and the proper officers, employees and/or agents of the District are hereby authorized and directed to take such further action as may be necessary or desirable to cause the same to be made. SECTION 4. ESTIMATED COST OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. The total estimated costs of the Capital Improvements and the costs to be paid by Assessments on all specially benefited property are set forth in Exhibits A and B, respectively, hereto. SECTION 5. EQUALIZATION, APPROVAL, CONFIRMATION AND LEVY OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The Assessments on the parcels specially benefited by the Capital Improvements, all as specified in the final assessment roll set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto, are hereby equalized, approved, confirmed and levied. Immediately following the adoption of this Resolution, these Assessments, as reflected in Exhibit B attached hereto, shall be recorded by the Secretary of the Board of the District in a special book, to be known as the “Improvement Lien Book.” The Assessment or assessments against each respective parcel shown on such final assessment roll and interest, costs and penalties thereon, as hereafter provided, shall be and shall remain a legal, valid and binding first lien on such parcel until paid and such lien shall be coequal with the lien of all state, county, district, and municipal taxes and superior in dignity to all other liens, titles, and claims. Prior to the issuance of any Bonds, including refunding bonds, the District may, by subsequent resolution, adjust the acreage assigned to particular parcel identification numbers listed on the final assessment roll to reflect accurate apportionment of acreage within the District amongst individual parcel identification numbers. The District may make any other such acreage and boundary adjustments to parcels listed on the final assessment roll as may be necessary in the best interests of the District as determined by the Board by subsequent resolution. Any such adjustment in the assessment roll shall be consistent with the requirements of law. In the event the issuance of Bonds, including refunding bonds, by the District would result in a decrease of the Assessments, then the District shall by subsequent resolution, adopted within sixty (60) days of the sale of such Bonds at a publicly noticed meeting and without the need for further public hearing, evidence such a decrease and amend the final assessment roll as shown in the Improvement Lien Book to reflect such a decrease. SECTION 6. FINALIZATION OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. When the entire Capital Improvements project has been constructed or otherwise provided to the satisfaction of the Board, the Board shall adopt a resolution accepting the same and determining the actual costs (including financing costs) thereof, as required by Sections 170.08 and 170.09, Florida Statutes. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 170.08, Florida Statutes, regarding completion of a project funded by a particular series of bonds, the District shall credit to each Assessment the difference, if any, between the Assessment as hereby made, approved and confirmed and the proportionate part of the actual costs of the Capital Improvements, as finally determined upon completion thereof, but in no event shall the final amount of any such special assessment exceed the amount of benefits originally assessed hereunder. In making such credits, no credit shall be given for bond financing costs, capitalized interest, funded reserves or bond discounts. Such credits, if any, shall be entered in the Improvement Lien Book. SECTION 7. PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND METHOD OF COLLECTION; DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. (a) The Assessments may be paid in not more than thirty (30) substantially equal consecutive annual installments of principal and interest, calculated in accordance with the Assessment Report and any applicable bond indenture or supplemental resolution. The Assessments may be paid in full without interest at any time within thirty (30) days after both (i) the completion of the Capital Improvements and (ii) the adoption by the Board of a resolution accepting the Capital Improvements, unless such option has been waived by the owner of the land subject to the Assessments; provided, however, that the Board shall at any time make such adjustments by resolution, at a noticed meeting of the Board, to that payment schedule as may be necessary and in the best interests of the District to account for changes in long and short term debt as actually issued by the District. All impact fee credits received and/or value received for impact fee credits shall be applied against the Capital Improvements costs and/or the outstanding indebtedness of any debt issuance that funded the improvement giving rise to the credits which application may be addressed by such resolutions. At any time subsequent to thirty (30) days after the Capital Improvements have been completed and a resolution accepting the Capital Improvements has been adopted by the Board, the Assessments may be prepaid in full including interest amounts to the next succeeding interest payment date or to the second succeeding interest payment date if such a prepayment is made within forty-five (45) calendar days before an interest payment date. The owner of property subject to Assessments may prepay the entire remaining balance of the Assessments at any time, or a portion of the remaining balance of the Assessment one time if there is also paid, in addition to the prepaid principal balance of the Assessment, an amount equal to the interest that would otherwise be due on such prepaid amount on the next succeeding interest payment date, or, if prepaid during the forty-five day (45) period preceding such interest payment date, to the interest payment date following such next succeeding interest payment date. Prepayment of Assessments does not entitle the property owner to any discounts for early payment, except as may be expressly provided in the applicable bond indenture or supplemental resolution for a particular series of Bonds. (b) The District hereby elects to use the method of collecting Assessments authorized by Sections 197.3632 and 197.3635, Florida Statutes (the “Uniform Method”), unless the Board determines by subsequent resolution that an alternative collection method is in the District's best interest. The District has heretofore taken or hereby commits to take within the timeframes required by law, all necessary actions to comply with the provisions of said Sections 197.3632 and 197.3635, Florida Statutes. Such Assessments may be subject to all of the collection provisions of Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Uniform Method of collecting its special or non-ad valorem assessments is not available to the District in any year, or if determined by the District to be in its best interest, the Assessments may be collected as is otherwise permitted by law. The District may, in its sole discretion, collect Assessments by directly assessing landowner(s) and enforcing said collection in any manner authorized by law, including but not limited to filing foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Chapter 170, Florida Statutes, or pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedies. (c) For the period the District uses the Uniform Method, the District shall enter into an agreement with the Tax Collector of Orange County, Florida, who may notify each owner of a lot or parcel within the District of the amount of the special assessment, including interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section 197.3635, Florida Statutes. SECTION 8. APPLICATION OF TRUE-UP PAYMENTS. (a) Pursuant to the Assessment Report attached hereto as Exhibit B, there may be required from time to time certain true-up payments. As parcels of land or lots are platted, the Assessments securing the Bonds shall be allocated as set forth in the Assessment Report. In furtherance thereof, at such time as parcels or land or lots are platted, it shall be an express condition of the lien established by this Resolution that any and all initial plats of any portion of the lands within the District, as the District’s boundaries may be amended from time to time, shall be presented to the District Manager for review, approval and calculation of the percentage of acres and numbers of units which will be, after the plat, considered to be developed. No further action by the Board of Supervisors shall be required. The District’s review shall be limited solely to this function and the enforcement of the lien established by this Resolution. The District Manager shall cause the Assessments to be reallocated to the units being platted and the remaining property in accordance with Exhibit B, cause such reallocation to be recorded in the District’s Improvement Lien Book, and shall perform the true-up calculations described in Exhibit B, which process is incorporated herein as if fully set forth (the “True-Up Methodology”). Any resulting true-up payment shall become due and payable that tax year by the landowner(s) of record of the remaining unplatted property, in addition to the regular assessment installment payable with respect to such remaining unplatted acres. (b) The District will take all necessary steps to ensure that true-up payments are made in a timely fashion to ensure its debt service obligations are met. The District shall record all trueup payments in its Improvement Lien Book. (c) The foregoing is based on the District’s understanding with landowner and/or developer that it intends to develop the unit numbers and types shown in Exhibit B, on the net developable acres and is intended to provide a formula to ensure that the appropriate ratio of the Assessments to gross acres is maintained if fewer units are developed. However, no action by the District prohibits more than the maximum units shown in Exhibit B from being developed. In no event shall the District collect Assessments pursuant to this Resolution in excess of the total debt service related to the Capital Improvements, including all costs of financing and interest. The District recognizes that such events as regulatory requirements and market conditions may affect the timing and scope of the development in the District. If the strict application of the True-Up Methodology to any assessment reallocation pursuant to this paragraph would result in Assessments collected in excess of the District’s total debt service obligation for the Capital Improvements, the Board shall by resolution take appropriate action to equitably reallocate the Assessments. Further, upon the District’s review of the final plat for the developable acres, any unallocated Assessments shall become due and payable and must be paid prior to the District’s approval of that plat. (d) The application of the monies received from true-up payments or Assessments to the actual debt service obligations of the District, whether long term or short term, shall be set forth in the supplemental assessment resolution adopted for each series of Bonds actually issued. Such subsequent resolution shall be adopted at a noticed meeting of the District, and shall set forth the actual amounts financed, costs of issuance, expected costs of collection, and the total amount of the assessments pledged to that issue, which amount shall be consistent with the lien imposed by this Resolution. Each such supplemental resolution shall also address the allocation of any impact fee credits expected to be received from the provision of the project funded by the corresponding series of Bonds issued or to be issued. SECTION 9. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY; TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY TO UNITS OF LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Property owned by units of local, state, and federal government shall not be subject to the Assessments without specific written consent thereto from the applicable governmental unit. If at any time, any real property on which Assessments are imposed by this Resolution is sold or otherwise transferred to a unit of local, state, or federal government (without consent of such governmental unit to the imposition of Assessments thereon), all future unpaid Assessments for such tax parcel shall become due and payable immediately prior to such transfer without any further action of the District. SECTION 10. ASSESSMENT NOTICE. The District’s Secretary is hereby directed to record a general Notice of Assessments in the Official Records of Orange County, Florida, which shall be updated from time to time in a manner consistent with changes in the boundaries of the District. SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY. If any section or part of a section of this Resolution be declared invalid or unconstitutional, the validity, force and effect of any other section or part of a section of this Resolution shall not thereby be affected or impaired unless it clearly appears that such other section or part of a section of this Resolution is wholly or necessarily dependent upon the section or part of a section so held to be invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION 12. CONFLICTS. All resolutions or parts thereof in conflict herewith are, to the extent of such conflict, superseded and repealed. SECTION 13. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall become effective upon its adoption. [Signature Page Follows] APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 21st day of May, 2026.

In such circumstances, any of the Board members present are authorized to execute agreements, resolutions, and other documents approved by the Board at such meeting.

(6) Voting Conflict of Interest. The Board shall comply with Section 112.3143 of the Florida Statutes, so as to ensure the proper disclosure of conflicts of interest on matters coming before the Board for a vote. For the purposes of this section, "voting conflict of interest" shall be governed by the Florida Constitution and Chapters 112 and 190 of the Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time. Generally, a voting conflict exists when a Board member is called upon to vote on an item which would inure to the Board member’s special private gain or loss or the Board member knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of a principal by whom the Board member is retained, the parent organization or subsidiary of a corporate principal, a business associate, or a relative including only a father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law. (a) When a Board member knows the member has a conflict of interest on a matter coming before the Board, the member should notify the Board’s Secretary prior to participating in any discussion with the Board on the matter. The Board member shall publicly announce the conflict of interest at the meeting. This announcement shall appear in the minutes. If the Board member was elected at a landowner’s election or appointed to fill a vacancy of a seat last filled at a landowners’ election, the Board member may vote or abstain from voting on the matter at issue. If the Board member was elected by electors residing within the District, the Board member is prohibited from voting on the matter at issue. In the event that the Board member intends to abstain or is prohibited from voting, such Board member shall not participate in the discussion on the item subject to the vote. The Board’s Secretary shall prepare a Memorandum of Voting Conflict (Form 8B) which shall then be signed by the Board member, filed with the Board’s Secretary, and provided for attachment to the minutes of the meeting within fifteen (15) days of the meeting. (b) If a Board member inadvertently votes on a matter and later learns he or she has a conflict on the matter, the member shall immediately notify the Board’s Secretary. Within fifteen (15) days of the notification, the Board member shall file the appropriate Memorandum of Voting Conflict, which will be attached to the minutes of the Board meeting during which the vote on the matter occurred. The Memorandum of Voting Conflict shall immediately be provided to other Board members and shall be read publicly at the next meeting held subsequent to the filing of the Memorandum of Voting Conflict. The Board member’s vote is unaffected by this filing. (c) It is not a conflict of interest for a Board member, the District Manager, or an employee of the District to be a stockholder, officer, or employee of a landowner or of an entity affiliated with a landowner. (d) In the event that a Board member elected at a landowners’ election or appointed to fill a vacancy of a seat last filled at a landowners’ election, has a continuing conflict of interest, such Board member is permitted to file a Memorandum of Voting Conflict at any time in which it shall state the nature of the continuing conflict. Only one such continuing Memorandum of Voting Conflict shall be required to be filed for each term the Board member is in office. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: §§ 112.3143, 190.006, 190.007, Fla. Stat. Rule 1.2 District Offices; Public Information and Inspection of Records; Policies; Service Contract Requirements; Financial Disclosure Coordination. (1) District Offices. Unless otherwise designated by the Board, the official District office shall be the District Manager’s office identified by the District Manager. If the District Manager’s office is not located within the county in which the District is located, the Board shall designate a local records office within such county which shall at a minimum contain, but not be limited to, the following documents: (a) Agenda packages for prior twenty-four (24) months and next meeting; (b) Official minutes of meetings, including adopted resolutions of the Board; (c) Names and addresses of current Board members and District Manager, unless such addresses are protected from disclosure by law; (d) Adopted engineer’s reports; (e) Adopted assessment methodologies/reports; (f) Adopted disclosure of public financing; (g) Limited Offering Memorandum for each financing undertaken by the District; (h) Proceedings, certificates, bonds given by all employees, and any and all corporate acts; (i) District policies and rules; (j) Fiscal year end audits; and (k) Adopted budget for the current fiscal year. The District Manager shall ensure that each District records office contains the documents required by Florida law. (2) Public Records. District public records include, but are not limited to, all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received in connection with the transaction of official business of the District. All District public records not otherwise restricted by law may be copied or inspected at the District Manager’s office during regular business hours. Certain District records can also be inspected and copied at the District’s local records office during regular business hours. All written public records requests shall be directed to the Secretary who by these rules is appointed as the District’s records custodian. Regardless of the form of the request, any Board member or staff member who receives a public records request shall immediately forward or communicate such request to the Secretary for coordination of a prompt response. The Secretary, after consulting with District Counsel as to the applicability of any exceptions under the public records laws, shall be responsible for responding to the public records request. At no time can the District be required to create records or summaries of records, or prepare opinions regarding District policies, in response to a public records request. (3) Service Contracts. Any contract for services, regardless of cost, shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws. The District Manager shall be responsible for initially enforcing all contract provisions related to a contractor’s duty to comply with public records laws. (4) Fees; Copies. Copies of public records shall be made available to the requesting person at a charge of $0.15 per page for one-sided copies and $0.20 per page for two-sided copies if not more than 8 ½ by 14 inches. For copies of public records in excess of the sizes listed in this section and for outside duplication services, the charge shall be equal to the actual cost of reproduction. Certified copies of public records shall be made available at a charge of One Dollar ($1.00) per page. If the nature or volume of records requested requires extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, the District may charge, in addition to the duplication charge, a special service charge that is based on the cost the District incurs to produce the records requested. This charge may include, but is not limited to, the cost of information technology resource, employee labor, and fees charged to the District by consultants employed in fulfilling the request. In cases where the special service charge is based in whole or in part on the costs incurred by the District due to employee labor, consultant fees, or other forms of labor, those portions of the charge shall be calculated based on the lowest labor cost of the individual(s) who is/are qualified to perform the labor, taking into account the nature and volume of the public records to be inspected or copied. The charge may include the labor costs of supervisory and/or clerical staff whose assistance is required to complete the records request, in accordance with Florida law. For purposes of this Rule, the word “extensive” shall mean that it will take more than fifteen (15) minutes to locate, review for confidential information, copy and re-file the requested material. In cases where extensive personnel time is determined by the District to be necessary to safeguard original records being inspected, the special service charge provided for in this section shall apply. If the total fees, including, but not limited to, special service charges, are anticipated to exceed Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00), then, prior to commencing work on the request, the District will inform the person making the public records request of the estimated cost, with the understanding that the final cost may vary from that estimate. If the person making the public records request decides to proceed with the request, payment of the estimated cost is required in advance. Should the person fail to pay the estimate, the District is under no duty to produce the requested records. After the request has been fulfilled, additional payments or credits may be due. The District is under no duty to produce records in response to future records requests if the person making the request owes the District for past unpaid duplication charges, special service charges, or other required payments or credits. (5) Records Retention. The Secretary of the District shall be responsible for retaining the District’s records in accordance with applicable Florida law. (6) Policies. The Board may adopt policies related to the conduct of its business and the provision of services either by resolution or motion. (7) Financial Disclosure Coordination. Unless specifically designated by Board resolution otherwise, the Secretary shall serve as the Financial Disclosure Coordinator (“Coordinator”) for the District as required by the Florida Commission on Ethics (“Commission”). The Coordinator shall create, maintain, and update a list of the names, e-mail addresses, physical addresses, and names of the agency of, and the office or position held by, all Supervisors and other persons required by Florida law to file a statement of financial interest due to their affiliation with the District (“Reporting Individual”). The Coordinator shall provide this list to the Commission by February 1 of each year, which list shall be current as of December 31 of the prior year. Each Supervisor and Reporting Individual shall promptly notify the Coordinator in writing if there are any changes to such person’s name, e-mail address, or physical address. Each Supervisor and Reporting Individual shall promptly notify the Commission in the manner prescribed by the Commission if there are any changes to such person’s e-mail address.

If the petition is directed to an existing policy that the District has not formally adopted as a rule, the District may, in its discretion, notice and hold a public hearing on the petition to consider the comments of the public directed to the policy, its scope and application, and to consider whether the public interest is served adequately by the application of the policy on a caseby- case basis, as contrasted with its formal adoption as a rule. However, this section shall not be construed as requiring the District to adopt a rule to replace a policy. (6) Rulemaking Materials. After the publication of the notice referenced in section (3) of this Rule, the Board shall make available for public inspection and shall provide, upon request and payment of the cost of copies, the following materials: (a) The text of the proposed rule, or any amendment or repeal of any existing rules; (b) A detailed written statement of the facts and circumstances justifying the proposed rule; (c) A copy of the statement of estimated regulatory costs if required by Section 120.541 of the Florida Statutes; and (d) The published notice.

The District shall publish notice of the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation within the District either in the text of the notice described in section (3) of this Rule or in a separate publication at least seven (7) days before the scheduled public hearing. The notice shall specify the date, time, and location of the public hearing, and the name, address, and telephone number of the District contact person who can provide information about the public hearing.

All timely submitted written statements shall be considered by the District and made part of the rulemaking record. (8) Emergency Rule Adoption. The Board may adopt an emergency rule if it finds that it is necessitated by immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare which requires immediate action, or if the Legislature authorizes the Board to adopt emergency rules. Prior to the adoption of an emergency rule, the District Manager shall make reasonable efforts to notify a newspaper of general circulation in the District. Notice of the emergency rules together with the Board’s findings of immediate danger, necessity, and procedural fairness or a citation to the grant of emergency rulemaking authority shall be published as soon as possible in a newspaper of general circulation in the District. The District may use any procedure which is fair under the circumstances in the adoption of an emergency rule provided that such procedure protects the public interest and complies with applicable law and these provisions. (9) Negotiated Rulemaking. The District may use negotiated rulemaking in developing and adopting rules pursuant to Section 120.54(2)(d) of the Florida Statutes, except that any notices required under Section 120.54(2)(d) of the Florida Statutes, may be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the District is located.

(11) Petitions to Challenge Existing Rules. (a) Any person substantially affected by a rule may seek an administrative determination of the invalidity of the rule on the ground that the rule is an invalid exercise of the District’s authority. (b) The petition seeking an administrative determination must state with particularity the provisions alleged to be invalid with sufficient explanation of the facts or grounds for the alleged invalidity and facts sufficient to show that the person challenging a rule is substantially affected by it. (c) The petition shall be filed with the District. Within ten (10) days after receiving the petition, the Chairperson shall, if the petition complies with the requirements of subsection (b) of this section, designate any member of the Board (including the Chairperson), District Manager, District Counsel, or other qualified person as a hearing officer. The hearing officer shall conduct a hearing within thirty (30) days after such designation, unless the petition is withdrawn or a continuance is granted by agreement of the parties. The failure of the District to follow the applicable rulemaking procedures or requirements in this Rule shall be presumed to be material; however, the District may rebut this presumption by showing that the substantial interests of the petitioner and the fairness of the proceedings have not been impaired. (d) Within thirty (30) days after the hearing, the hearing officer shall render a decision and state the reasons therefor in writing. (e) Hearings held under this section shall be de novo in nature.

A “waiver” means a decision by the District not to apply all or part of a rule to a person who is subject to the rule. Variances and waivers from District rules may be granted subject to the following: (a) Variances and waivers shall be granted when the person subject to the rule demonstrates that: (i) the purpose of the underlying statute will be or has been achieved by other means by the person; and (ii) application of the rule would create a substantial hardship or would violate principles of fairness. For purposes of this section, "substantial hardship" means a demonstrated economic, technological, legal, safety-related, or other significant type of hardship to the person requesting the variance or waiver. For purposes of this section, "principles of fairness" are violated when the literal application of a rule affects a particular person in a manner significantly different from the way it affects other similarly situated persons who are subject to the rule. (b) A person who is subject to regulation by a District Rule may file a petition with the District, requesting a variance or waiver from the District’s Rule. Each petition shall specify: (i) The rule from which a variance or waiver is requested; (ii) The type of action requested; (iii) The specific facts that would justify a waiver or variance for the petitioner; and (iv) The reason why the variance or the waiver requested would serve the purposes of the underlying statute. (c) The District shall review the petition and may request only that information needed to clarify the petition or to answer new questions raised by or directly related to the petition. If the petitioner asserts that any request for additional information is not authorized by law or by Rule of the District, the District shall proceed, at the petitioner’s written request, to process the petition. (d) The Board shall grant or deny a petition for variance or waiver and shall announce such disposition at a publicly held meeting of the Board within ninety (90) days after receipt of: (i) the original petition; (ii) the last item of timely requested additional material; or (iii) the petitioner's written request to finish processing the petition, whichever occurs last. The District’s statement granting or denying the petition shall contain a statement of the relevant facts and reasons supporting the District's action. (13) Rates, Fees, Rentals, and Other Charges. All rates, fees, rentals, or other charges shall be subject to rulemaking proceedings. Policies adopted by the District which do not consist of rates, fees, rentals, or other charges may be, but are not required to be, implemented through rulemaking proceedings.

Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: §§ 190.033, 255.0992, 255.20, 287.055, Fla. Stat. Rule 3.1 Procedure Under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiations Act. (1) Scope. The following procedures are adopted for the selection of firms or individuals to provide Professional Services exceeding the thresholds herein described, for the negotiation of such contracts, and to provide for protest of actions of the Board under this Rule. As used in this Rule, “Project” means that fixed capital outlay study or planning activity when basic construction cost is estimated by the District to exceed the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FIVE, or for a planning study activity when the fee for Professional Services is estimated by the District to exceed the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 for CATEGORY TWO, as such categories may be amended or adjusted from time to time. (2) Qualifying Procedures. In order to be eligible to provide Professional Services to the District, a consultant must, at the time of receipt of the firm’s qualification submittal: (a) Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing; (b) Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any; (c) Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the consultant is a corporation; and (d) Meet any qualification requirements set forth in the District’s Request for Qualifications.

(3) Public Announcement. Except in cases of valid public emergencies as certified by the Board, the District shall announce each occasion when Professional Services are required for a Project or a Continuing Contract by publishing a notice providing a general description of the Project, or the nature of the Continuing Contract, and the method for interested consultants to apply for consideration. The notice shall appear in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation in the District and in such other places as the District deems appropriate. The notice must allow at least fourteen (14) days for submittal of qualifications from the date of publication. The District may maintain lists of consultants interested in receiving such notices. These consultants are encouraged to submit annually statements of qualifications and performance data. The District shall make reasonable efforts to provide copies of any notices to such consultants, but the failure to do so shall not give such consultants any bid protest or other rights or otherwise disqualify any otherwise valid procurement process. The Board has the right to reject any and all qualifications, and such reservation shall be included in the published notice. Consultants not receiving a contract award shall not be entitled to recover from the District any costs of qualification package preparation or submittal. (4) Competitive Selection. (a) The Board shall review and evaluate the data submitted in response to the notice described in section (3) of this Rule regarding qualifications and performance ability, as well as any statements of qualifications on file. The Board shall conduct discussions with, and may require public presentation by, consultants regarding their qualifications, approach to the Project, and ability to furnish the required services.

(c) If the selection process is administered by any person or committee other than the full Board, the selection made will be presented to the full Board with a recommendation that competitive negotiations be instituted with the selected firms in order of preference listed. (d) Notice of the rankings adopted by the Board, including the rejection of some or all qualification packages, shall be provided in writing to all consultants by United States Mail, hand delivery, electronic mail, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s ranking decisions under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11. (5) Competitive Negotiation. (a) After the Board has authorized the beginning of competitive negotiations, the District may begin such negotiations with the firm listed as most qualified to perform the required Professional Services at a rate or amount of compensation which the Board determines is fair, competitive, and reasonable. (b) In negotiating a lump-sum or cost-plus-a-fixed-fee professional contract for more than the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FOUR, the firm receiving the award shall be required to execute a truth-in-negotiation certificate stating that "wage rates and other factual unit costs supporting the compensation are accurate, complete and current at the time of contracting." In addition, any professional service contract under which such a certificate is required, shall contain a provision that "the original contract price and any additions thereto, shall be adjusted to exclude any significant sums by which the Board determines the contract price was increased due to inaccurate, incomplete, or noncurrent wage rates and other factual unit costs." (c) Should the District be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the firm determined to be the most qualified at a price deemed by the District to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, then negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and the District shall immediately begin negotiations with the second most qualified firm. If a satisfactory agreement with the second firm cannot be reached, those negotiations shall be terminated and negotiations with the third most qualified firm shall be undertaken. (d) Should the District be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with one of the top three (3) ranked consultants, additional firms shall be selected by the District, in order of their competence and qualifications. Negotiations shall continue, beginning with the first-named firm on the list, until an agreement is reached or the list of firms is exhausted. (6) Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract entered into pursuant to this Rule shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws. (7) Continuing Contract. Nothing in this Rule shall prohibit a Continuing Contract between a consultant and the District. (8) Emergency Purchase. The District may make an Emergency Purchase without complying with these Rules. The fact that an Emergency Purchase has occurred or is necessary shall be noted in the minutes of the next Board meeting. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: §§ 119.0701, 190.011(3), 190.033, 287.055, Fla. Stat. Rule 3.2 Procedure Regarding Auditor Selection. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 218.391 of the Florida Statutes, the following procedures are outlined for selection of firms or individuals to provide Auditing Services and for the negotiation of such contracts. For audits required under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes but not meeting the thresholds of Chapter 218 of the Florida Statutes, the District need not follow these procedures but may proceed with the selection of a firm or individual to provide Auditing Services and for the negotiation of such contracts in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District. (1) Definitions. (a) "Auditing Services" means those services within the scope of the practice of a certified public accounting firm licensed under Chapter 473 of the Florida Statutes, and qualified to conduct audits in accordance with government auditing standards as adopted by the Florida Board of Accountancy. (b) "Committee" means the auditor selection committee appointed by the Board as described in section (2) of this Rule. (2) Establishment of Auditor Selection Committee. Prior to a public announcement under section (4) of this Rule that Auditing Services are required, the Board shall establish an auditor selection committee (“Committee”), the primary purpose of which is to assist the Board in selecting an auditor to conduct the annual financial audit required by Section 218.39 of the Florida Statutes. The Committee shall include at least three (3) individuals, at least one (1) of which must also be a member of the Board. The establishment and selection of the Committee must be conducted at a publicly noticed and held meeting of the Board. The Chairperson of the Committee must be a member of the Board. An employee, a chief executive officer, or a chief financial officer of the District may not serve as a member of the Committee; provided, however, such individuals may serve the Committee in an advisory capacity without voting rights. (3) Establishment of Minimum Qualifications and Evaluation Criteria. Prior to a public announcement under section (4) of this Rule that Auditing Services are required, the Committee shall meet at a publicly noticed meeting to establish minimum qualifications and factors to use for the evaluation of Auditing Services to be provided by a certified public accounting firm licensed under Chapter 473 of the Florida Statutes and qualified to conduct audits in accordance with government auditing standards as adopted by the Florida Board of Accountancy. (a) Minimum Qualifications. In order to be eligible to submit a proposal, a firm must, at all relevant times including the time of receipt of the proposal by the District: (i) Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing; (ii) Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any; (iii) Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the proposer is a corporation; and (iv) Meet any pre-qualification requirements established by the Committee and set forth in the RFP or other specifications. If requested in the RFP or other specifications, evidence of compliance with the minimum qualifications as established by the Committee must be submitted with the proposal. (b) Evaluation Criteria. The factors established for the evaluation of Auditing Services by the Committee shall include, but are not limited to: (i) Ability of personnel; (ii) Experience; (iii) Ability to furnish the required services; and (iv) Such other factors as may be determined by the Committee to be applicable to its particular requirements. The Committee may also choose to consider compensation as a factor. If the Committee establishes compensation as one of the factors, compensation shall not be the sole or predominant factor used to evaluate proposals. (4) Public Announcement. After identifying the factors to be used in evaluating the proposals for Auditing Services as set forth in section (3) of this Rule, the Committee shall publicly announce the opportunity to provide Auditing Services. Such public announcement shall include a brief description of the audit and how interested firms can apply for consideration and obtain the RFP. The notice shall appear in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation in the District and the county in which the District is located. The public announcement shall allow for at least seven (7) days for the submission of proposals. (5) Request for Proposals. The Committee shall provide interested firms with a Request for Proposals (“RFP”). The RFP shall provide information on how proposals are to be evaluated and such other information the Committee determines is necessary for the firm to prepare a proposal. The RFP shall state the time and place for submitting proposals. (6) Committee’s Evaluation of Proposals and Recommendation. The Committee shall meet at a publicly held meeting that is publicly noticed at least seven (7) days in advance of the meeting to evaluate all qualified proposals and may, as part of the evaluation, require that each interested firm provide a public presentation where the Committee may conduct discussions with the firm, and where the firm may present information, regarding the firm’s qualifications. At the public meeting, the Committee shall rank and recommend in order of preference no fewer than three (3) firms deemed to be the most highly qualified to perform the required services after considering the factors established pursuant to subsection (3)(b) of this Rule. If fewer than three (3) firms respond to the RFP or if no firms respond to the RFP, the Committee shall recommend such firm as it deems to be the most highly qualified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may recommend that any and all proposals be rejected. (7) Board Selection of Auditor. (a) Where compensation was not selected as a factor used in evaluating the proposals, the Board shall negotiate with the firm ranked first and inquire of that firm as to the basis of compensation. If the Board is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the first ranked firm at a price deemed by the Board to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, then negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and the Board shall immediately begin negotiations with the second ranked firm. If a satisfactory agreement with the second ranked firm cannot be reached, those negotiations shall be terminated and negotiations with the third ranked firm shall be undertaken. The Board may reopen formal negotiations with any one of the three top-ranked firms, but it may not negotiate with more than one firm at a time. If the Board is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with any of the selected firms, the Committee shall recommend additional firms in order of the firms’ respective competence and qualifications. Negotiations shall continue, beginning with the first-named firm on the list, until an agreement is reached or the list of firms is exhausted. (b) Where compensation was selected as a factor used in evaluating the proposals, the Board shall select the highest-ranked qualified firm or document in its public records the reason for not selecting the highest-ranked qualified firm. (c) In negotiations with firms under this Rule, the Board may allow the District Manager, District Counsel, or other designee to conduct negotiations on its behalf. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may reject any or all proposals. The Board shall not consider any proposal, or enter into any contract for Auditing Services, unless the proposed agreed-upon compensation is reasonable to satisfy the requirements of Section 218.39 of the Florida Statutes and the needs of the District. (8) Contract. Any agreement reached under this Rule shall be evidenced by a written contract, which may take the form of an engagement letter signed and executed by both parties. The written contract shall include all provisions and conditions of the procurement of such services and shall include, at a minimum, the following: (a) A provision specifying the services to be provided and fees or other compensation for such services; (b) A provision requiring that invoices for fees or other compensation be submitted in sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the terms of the contract; (c) A provision setting forth deadlines for the auditor to submit a preliminary draft audit report to the District for review and to submit a final audit report no later than June 30 of the fiscal year that follows the fiscal year for which the audit is being conducted; (d) A provision specifying the contract period, including renewals, and conditions under which the contract may be terminated or renewed. The maximum contract period including renewals shall be five (5) years. A renewal may be done without the use of the auditor selection procedures provided in this Rule but must be in writing; and (e) Provisions required by law that require the auditor to comply with public records laws. (9) Notice of Award. Once a negotiated agreement with a firm or individual is reached, or the Board authorizes the execution of an agreement with a firm where compensation was a factor in the evaluation of proposals, notice of the intent to award, including the rejection of some or all proposals, shall be provided in writing to all proposers by United States Mail, hand delivery, electronic mail, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests regarding the award of contracts under this Rule shall be as provided for in Rule 3.11. No proposer shall be entitled to recover any costs of proposal preparation or submittal from the District. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat.

This Rule does not apply to the purchase of any other type of insurance by the District, including, but not limited to, liability insurance, property insurance, and directors and officers insurance. Nothing in this Rule shall require the District to purchase insurance. (2) Procedure. For a purchase of insurance within the scope of these Rules, the following procedure shall be followed: (a) The Board shall cause to be prepared a Notice of Invitation to Bid. (b) Notice of the Invitation to Bid shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the District. The notice shall allow at least fourteen (14) days for submittal of bids. (c) The District may maintain a list of persons interested in receiving notices of Invitations to Bid. The District shall make reasonable efforts to provide copies of any notices to such persons, but the failure to do so shall not give such consultants any bid protest or other rights or otherwise disqualify any otherwise valid procurement process. (d) Bids shall be opened at the time and place noted in the Invitation to Bid. (e) If only one (1) response to an Invitation to Bid is received, the District may proceed with the purchase. If no response to an Invitation to Bid is received, the District may take whatever steps are reasonably necessary in order to proceed with the purchase. (f) The Board has the right to reject any and all bids, and such reservations shall be included in all solicitations and advertisements. (g) Simultaneously with the review of the submitted bids, the District may undertake negotiations with those companies that have submitted reasonable and timely bids and, in the opinion of the District, are fully qualified and capable of meeting all services and requirements. Bid responses shall be evaluated in accordance with the specifications and criteria contained in the Invitation to Bid; in addition, the total cost to the District, the cost, if any, to the District officers, employees, or their dependents, relevant business presence and capability to service the District's needs, and the ability of the company to guarantee premium stability may be considered. A contract to purchase insurance shall be awarded to that company whose response to the Invitation to Bid best meets the overall needs of the District, its officers, employees, and/or dependents. (h) Notice of the intent to award, including rejection of some or all bids, shall be provided in writing to all bidders by United States Mail, by hand delivery, or by overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s procurement of insurance under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: § 112.08, Fla. Stat. Rule 3.4 Pre-qualification (1) Scope. In its discretion, the District may undertake a pre-qualification process in accordance with this Rule for vendors to provide construction services, goods, supplies, and materials, Contractual Services, and maintenance services. (2) Procedure. When the District seeks to pre-qualify vendors, the following procedures shall apply: (a) The Board shall cause to be prepared a Request for Qualifications. (b) For construction services exceeding the thresholds described in Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, the Board must advertise the proposed prequalification criteria and procedures and allow at least seven (7) days’ notice of the public hearing for comments on such pre-qualification criteria and procedures. At such public hearing, potential vendors may object to such pre-qualification criteria and procedures. Following such public hearing, the Board shall formally adopt prequalification criteria and procedures prior to the advertisement of the Request for Qualifications for construction services. (c) The Request for Qualifications shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the District and within the county in which the District is located. The notice shall allow at least seven (7) days for submittal of qualifications for goods, supplies and materials, Contractual Services, maintenance services, and construction services under Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). The notice shall allow at least twenty-one (21) days for submittal of qualifications for construction services estimated to cost over Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) and thirty (30) days for construction services estimated to cost over Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). (d) The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Requests for Qualifications. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic mail, United States Mail, or hand delivery, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list. However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any prequalification determination or contract awarded in accordance with these Rules and shall not be a basis for a protest of any pre-qualification determination or contract award. (e) If the District has pre-qualified vendors for a particular category of purchase, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies, or responses in response to the applicable Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. (f) In order to be eligible to submit qualifications, a firm or individual must, at the time of receipt of the qualifications: (i) Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing; (ii) Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any; (iii) Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the vendor is a corporation; and (iv) Meet any special pre-qualification requirements set forth in the Request for Qualifications. Evidence of compliance with these Rules must be submitted with the qualifications if required by the District. Failure to submit evidence of compliance when required may be grounds for rejection of the qualifications. (g) Qualifications shall be presented to the Board, or a committee appointed by the Board, for evaluation in accordance with the Request for Qualifications and this Rule. Minor variations in the qualifications may be waived by the Board. A variation is minor if waiver of the variation does not create a competitive advantage or disadvantage of a material nature. (h) All vendors determined by the District to meet the pre-qualification requirements shall be pre-qualified. To assure full understanding of the responsiveness to the requirements contained in a Request for Qualifications, discussions may be conducted with qualified vendors. Vendors shall be accorded fair treatment prior to the submittal date with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of qualifications. For construction services, any contractor pre-qualified and considered eligible by the Department of Transportation to bid to perform the type of work the project entails shall be presumed to be qualified to perform the project. (i) The Board shall have the right to reject all qualifications if there are not enough to be competitive or if rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No vendor shall be entitled to recover any costs of qualification preparation or submittal from the District. (j) Notice of intent to pre-qualify, including rejection of some or all qualifications, shall be provided in writing to all vendors by United States Mail, electronic mail, hand delivery, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s pre-qualification decisions under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11; provided however, protests related to the prequalification criteria and procedures for construction services shall be resolved in accordance with section (2)(b) of this Rule and Section 255.20(1)(b) of the Florida Statutes. (3) Suspension, Revocation, or Denial of Qualification (a) The District, for good cause, may deny, suspend, or revoke a prequalified vendor’s prequalified status. A suspension, revocation, or denial for good cause shall prohibit the vendor from bidding on any District construction contract for which qualification is required, shall constitute a determination of non-responsibility to bid on any other District construction or maintenance contract, and shall prohibit the vendor from acting as a material supplier or subcontractor on any District contract or project during the period of suspension, revocation, or denial. Good cause shall include the following: i. One of the circumstances specified under Section 337.16(2), Florida Statutes, has occurred. ii. Affiliated contractors submitted more than one (1) proposal for the same work. In this event the pre-qualified status of all of the affiliated bidders will be revoked, suspended, or denied. All bids of affiliated bidders will be rejected. iii. The vendor made or submitted false, deceptive, or fraudulent statements, certifications, or materials in any claim for payment or any information required by any District contract. iv. The vendor or its affiliate defaulted on any contract or a contract surety assumed control of financial responsibility for any contract of the vendor. v. The vendor’s qualification to bid is suspended, revoked, or denied by any other public or semi-public entity, or the vendor has been the subject of a civil enforcement proceeding or settlement involving a public or semi-public entity. vi. The vendor failed to comply with contract or warranty requirements or failed to follow District direction in the performance of a contract. vii. The vendor failed to timely furnish all contract documents required by the contract specifications, special provisions, or by any state or federal statutes or regulations. If the vendor fails to furnish any of the subject contract documents by the expiration of the period of suspension, revocation, or denial set forth above, the vendor’s pre-qualified status shall remain suspended, revoked, or denied until the documents are furnished. viii. The vendor failed to notify the District within ten (10) days of the vendor, or any of its affiliates, being declared in default or otherwise not completing work on a contract or being suspended from qualification to bid or denied qualification to bid by any other public or semi-public agency. ix. The vendor did not pay its subcontractors or suppliers in a timely manner or in compliance with contract documents. x. The vendor has demonstrated instances of poor or unsatisfactory performance, deficient management resulting in project delay, poor quality workmanship, a history of payment of liquidated damages, untimely completion of projects, uncooperative attitude, contract litigation, inflated claims, or defaults. xi. An affiliate of the vendor has previously been determined by the District to be non-responsible, and the specified period of suspension, revocation, denial, or non-responsibility remains in effect. xii. The vendor or affiliate(s) has been convicted of a contract crime. 1. The term “contract crime” means any violation of state or federal antitrust laws with respect to a District contract or any violation of any state or federal law involving fraud, bribery, collusion, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation with respect to a District contract. 2. The term “convicted” or “conviction” means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a contract crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record as a result of a jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, and shall include any conviction that has not been overturned on appeal or otherwise set aside. xiii. Any other circumstance constituting “good cause” under Section 337.16(2), Florida Statutes, exists. (b) The pre-qualified status of a contractor found delinquent under Section 337.16(1), Florida Statutes, shall be denied, suspended, or revoked. A denial, suspension, or revocation shall prohibit the vendor from being a subcontractor on District work during the period of denial, suspension, or revocation, except when a prime contractor’s bid has used prices of a subcontractor who becomes disqualified after the bid, but before the request for authorization to sublet is presented. (c) The District shall inform the vendor in writing of its intent to deny, suspend, or revoke its pre-qualified status and inform the vendor of its right to a hearing, the procedure which must be followed, and the applicable time limits. If a hearing is requested within ten (10) days after the receipt of the notice of intent, the hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days after receipt by the District of the request for the hearing. The decision shall be issued in writing within fifteen (15) business days after the hearing. (d) Such suspension or revocation shall not affect the vendor’s obligations under any preexisting contract. (e) If a contractor’s pre-qualified status is revoked, suspended, or denied and the contractor receives an additional period of revocation, suspension, or denial of its pre-qualified status, the time periods will run consecutively. (f) In the case of contract crimes, the vendor’s pre-qualified status under this Rule shall be revoked indefinitely. For all violations of Rule 3.4(3)(a) other than for the vendor’s conviction for contract crimes, the revocation, denial, or suspension of a vendor’s prequalified status under this Rule shall be for a specific period of time based on the seriousness of the deficiency. i. Impacts on project schedule, cost, or quality of work; ii. Unsafe conditions allowed to exist; iii. Complaints from the public; iv. Delay or interference with the bidding process; v. The potential for repetition; vi. Integrity of the public contracting process; and Examples of factors affecting the seriousness of a deficiency are: vii. Effect on the health, safety, and welfare of the public. (g) The District shall deny or revoke the pre-qualified status of any contractor and its affiliates for a period of thirty-six (36) months when it is determined by the District that the contractor has, subsequent to January 1, 1978, been convicted of a contract crime within the jurisdiction of any state or federal court. Any such contractor shall not act as a prime contractor, material supplier, subcontractor, or consultant on any District contract or project during the period of denial or revocation. (a) A contractor whose qualification to bid has been revoked or denied because of contract crime may, at any time after revocation or denial, file a petition for reapplication or reinstatement. However, a contractor may not petition for reapplication or reinstatement for a period of twenty-four (24) months after revocation or denial for a subsequent conviction occurring within ten (10) years of a previous denial or revocation for contract crime. (b) If the petition for reapplication or reinstatement is denied, the contractor cannot petition for a subsequent hearing for a period of nine (9) months following the date of the final order of revocation or denial. (c) If the petition for reapplication or reinstatement is granted, the contractor must file a current Application for Qualification with the Contracts Administration Office. Reinstatement shall not be effective until issuance of a Certificate of Qualification. (4) Reapplication and Reinstatement (5) Emergency Suspension and Revocation (a) The District may summarily issue an emergency suspension of a contractor’s qualification to bid if it finds that imminent danger exists to the public health, safety, or welfare.

(c) The District, within ten (10) days of the emergency suspension, shall initiate formal suspension or revocation proceedings in compliance with Rule 3.4(3), except the ten (10)-day notice requirement shall not be construed to prevent a hearing at the earliest time practicable upon request of the aggrieved party. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: §§ 190.033, 255.0525, 255.20, Fla. Stat.; §§ 14-22.012, 14-22.0121, 14-22.014, Fla. Admin. Code. Rule 3.5 Construction Contracts, Not Design-Build. (1) Scope. All contracts for the construction or improvement of any building, structure, or other public construction works authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, the costs of which are estimated by the District in accordance with generally accepted cost accounting principles to be in excess of the threshold amount for applicability of Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, as that amount may be indexed or amended from time to time, shall be let under the terms of these Rules and the procedures of Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, as the same may be amended from time to time. A project shall not be divided solely to avoid the threshold bidding requirements. (2) Procedure. When a purchase of construction services is within the scope of this Rule, the following procedures shall apply: (a) The Board shall cause to be prepared an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. (b) Notice of the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the District and in the county in which the District is located. The notice shall also include the amount of the bid bond, if one is required. The notice shall allow at least twenty-one (21) days for submittal of sealed bids, proposals, replies, or responses, unless the Board, for good cause, determines a shorter period of time is appropriate. Any project projected to cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) must be noticed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date for submittal of bids, proposals, replies, or responses. If the Board has previously pre-qualified contractors pursuant to Rule 3.4 and determined that only the contractors that have been pre-qualified will be permitted to submit bids, proposals, replies, and responses, the Notice of Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation need not be published. Instead, the Notice of Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be sent to the prequalified contractors by United States Mail, electronic mail, hand delivery, or overnight delivery service. (c) The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, and Competitive Solicitations. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic mail, United States Mail, or hand delivery, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list. However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any contract awarded in accordance with this Rule and shall not be a basis for a protest of any contract award. (d) If the District has pre-qualified providers of construction services, then, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies, or responses to Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, and Competitive Solicitations. (e) In order to be eligible to submit a bid, proposal, reply, or response, a firm or individual must, at the time of receipt of the bids, proposals, replies, or responses: (i) Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing; (ii) Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any; (iii) Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the bidder is a corporation; and (iv) Meet any special pre-qualification requirements set forth in the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. Any contractor that has been found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction of any violation of federal labor or employment tax laws regarding subjects, including, but not limited to, reemployment assistance, safety, tax withholding, worker’s compensation, unemployment tax, social security and Medicare tax, wage or hour, or prevailing rate laws within the past five (5) years shall be deemed ineligible by the District to submit a bid, response, or proposal for a District project. Evidence of compliance with these Rules must be submitted with the bid, proposal, reply, or response, if required by the District. Failure to submit evidence of compliance when required may be grounds for rejection of the bid, proposal, reply, or response. (f) Bids, proposals, replies, and responses, or the portions of which that include the price, shall be publicly opened at a meeting noticed in accordance with Rule 1.3, and at which at least one district representative is present. The name of each bidder and the price submitted in the bid shall be announced at such meeting and shall be made available upon request. Minutes should be taken at the meeting and maintained by the District. Bids, proposals, replies, and responses shall be evaluated in accordance with the respective Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation and these Rules. Minor variations in the bids, proposals, replies, or responses may be waived by the Board. A variation is minor if waiver of the variation does not create a competitive advantage or disadvantage of a material nature. Mistakes in arithmetic extension of pricing may be corrected by the Board, provided such corrections do not result in a material change to the bid amount or create an unfair advantage. Bids and proposals may not be modified or supplemented after opening; provided, however, additional information may be requested and/or provided to evidence compliance, make non-material modifications, clarifications, or supplementations, and as otherwise permitted by Florida law. (g) The lowest Responsive Bid submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Bidder in response to an Invitation to Bid shall be accepted. In relation to a Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, the Board shall select the Responsive Proposal, Reply, or Response submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Vendor which is most advantageous to the District. To assure full understanding of the responsiveness to the solicitation requirements contained in a Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, discussions may be conducted with qualified vendors. Vendors shall be accorded fair treatment prior to the submittal date with respect to any opportunity for discussion, preparation, and revision of bids, proposals, replies, and responses. (h) The Board shall have the right to reject all bids, proposals, replies, or responses because they exceed the amount of funds budgeted for the purchase, if there are not enough to be competitive, or if rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No contractor shall be entitled to recover any costs of bid, proposal, response, or reply preparation or submittal from the District. (i) The Board may require potential contractors to furnish bid bonds, performance bonds, and/or other bonds with a responsible surety to be approved by the Board. (j) Notice of intent to award, including rejection of some or all bids, proposals, replies, or responses, shall be provided in writing to all contractors by United States Mail, electronic mail, hand delivery, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s purchase of construction services under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11. (k) If less than three (3) Responsive Bids, Proposals, Replies, or Responses are received, the District may purchase construction services or may reject the bids, proposals, replies, or responses for a lack of competitiveness. If no Responsive Bid, Proposal, Reply, or Response is received, the District may proceed with the procurement of construction services, in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District, which may include, but is not limited to, a direct purchase of the construction services without further competitive selection processes. (3) Sole Source; Government. Construction services that are only available from a single source are exempt from this Rule. Construction services provided by governmental agencies are exempt from this Rule. This Rule shall not apply to the purchase of construction services, which may include goods, supplies, or materials, that are purchased under a federal, state, or local government contract that has been competitively procured by such federal, state, or local government in a manner consistent with the material procurement requirements of these Rules. A contract for construction services is exempt from this Rule if state or federal law prescribes with whom the District must contract or if the rate of payment is established during the appropriation process. (4) Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract entered into pursuant to this Rule shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws. (5) Emergency Purchases. The District may make an Emergency Purchase without complying with these rules only when there exists an immediate and serious need for construction services that cannot be met through normal procurement methods and the lack of such services would seriously threaten: (i) the District’s ability to perform essential services; (ii) the preservation or protection of property or improvements; or (iii) the health, safety, or welfare of any person. The fact that an Emergency Purchase has occurred or is necessary, along with a detailed description of the basis for the emergency determination, shall be noted in the minutes of the next Board Meeting. (6) Exceptions. This Rule is inapplicable when: (a) The project is undertaken as repair or maintenance of an existing public facility; (b) The funding source of the project will be diminished or lost because the time required to competitively award the project after the funds become available exceeds the time within which the funding source must be spent; (c) The District has competitively awarded a project and the contractor has abandoned the project or the District has terminated the contract; or (d) The District, after public notice, conducts a public meeting under Section 286.011 of the Florida Statutes, and finds by a majority vote of the Board that it is in the public’s best interest to perform the project using its own services, employees, and equipment.

Rule 3.6 Construction Contracts, Design-Build. (1) Scope. The District may utilize Design-Build Contracts for any public construction project for which the Board determines that use of such contract is in the best interest of the District. When letting a Design-Build Contract, the District shall use the following procedure: (2) Procedure. (a) The District shall utilize a Design Criteria Professional meeting the requirements of Section 287.055(2)(k) of the Florida Statutes, when developing a Design Criteria Package, evaluating the proposals and qualifications submitted by Design- Build Firms, and determining compliance of the project construction with the Design Criteria Package. The Design Criteria Professional may be an employee of the District, may be the District Engineer selected by the District pursuant to Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes, or may be retained pursuant to Rule 3.1. The Design Criteria Professional is not eligible to render services under a Design- Build Contract executed pursuant to the Design Criteria Package. (b) A Design Criteria Package for the construction project shall be prepared and sealed by the Design Criteria Professional. If the project utilizes existing plans, the Design Criteria Professional shall create a Design Criteria Package by supplementing the plans with project specific requirements, if any.

If the process set forth in Rule 3.1 is utilized, subsequent to competitive negotiations, a guaranteed maximum price and guaranteed completion date shall be established. (ii) Competitive Proposal-Based Selection. If the competitive proposal selection process is utilized, the Board, in consultation with the Design Criteria Professional, shall establish the criteria, standards, and procedures for the evaluation of Design-Build Proposals based on price, technical, and design aspects of the project, weighted for the project. After a Design Criteria Package and the standards and procedures for evaluation of proposals have been developed, competitive proposals from qualified firms shall be solicited pursuant to the design criteria by the following procedure: 1. A Request for Proposals shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the District is located.

The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Requests for Proposals. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic mail, United States Mail, or hand delivery, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list.

In consultation with the Design Criteria Professional, the Board shall evaluate the proposals received based on evaluation criteria and procedures established prior to the solicitation of proposals, including, but not limited, to qualifications, availability, and past work of the firms and the partners and members thereof. The Board shall then select no fewer than three (3) Design-Build Firms as the most qualified. 5. The Board shall have the right to reject all proposals if the proposals are too high, or rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No vendor shall be entitled to recover any costs of proposal preparation or submittal from the District. 6. If less than three (3) Responsive Proposals are received, the District may purchase design-build services or may reject the proposals for lack of competitiveness.

The Board shall negotiate a contract with the firm ranking the highest based on the evaluation standards and shall establish a price which the Board determines is fair, competitive, and reasonable. Should the Board be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the firm considered to be the most qualified at a price considered by the Board to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, negotiations with that firm must be terminated. The Board shall then undertake negotiations with the second most qualified firm, based on the ranking by the evaluation standards. Should the Board be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the firm considered to be the second most qualified at a price considered by the Board to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, negotiations with that firm must be terminated. The Board shall then undertake negotiations with the third most qualified firm. Should the Board be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the firm considered to be the third most qualified at a price considered by the Board to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, negotiations with that firm must be terminated. Should the Board be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with any of the selected firms, the Board shall select additional firms in order of their rankings based on the evaluation standards and continue negotiations until an agreement is reached or the list of firms is exhausted. 9. After the Board contracts with a firm, the firm shall bring to the Board for approval detailed working drawings of the project. 10.

This Rule shall apply to contracts for the construction of a public building, for the prosecution and completion of a public work, or for repairs upon a public building or public work and shall be construed in addition to terms prescribed by any other Rule that may also apply to such contracts. (2) Required Bond. Upon entering into a contract for any of the services described in section (1) of this Rule in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), the Board should require that the contractor, before commencing the work, execute and record a payment and performance bond in an amount equal to the contract price. Notwithstanding the terms of the contract or any other law, the District may not make payment to the contractor until the contractor has provided to the District a certified copy of the recorded bond. (3) Discretionary Bond. At the discretion of the Board, upon entering into a contract for any of the services described in section (1) of this Rule for an amount not exceeding Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), the contractor may be exempted from executing a payment and performance bond. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: § 255.05, Fla. Stat. Rule 3.8 Goods, Supplies, and Materials. (1) Purpose and Scope. All purchases of goods, supplies, or materials exceeding the amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FOUR, shall be purchased under the terms of this Rule. Contracts for purchases of “goods, supplies, and materials” do not include printing, insurance, advertising, or legal notices. A contract involving goods, supplies, or materials plus maintenance services may, in the discretion of the Board, be treated as a contract for maintenance services. However, a purchase shall not be divided solely in order to avoid the threshold bidding requirements. (2) Procedure. When a purchase of goods, supplies, or materials is within the scope of this Rule, the following procedures shall apply: (a) The Board shall cause to be prepared an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. (b) Notice of the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the District and within the county in which the District is located. The notice shall also include the amount of the bid bond, if one is required. The notice shall allow at least seven (7) days from the date of publication for submittal of bids, proposals, replies, or responses. (c) The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitations. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic mail, United States Mail, or hand delivery, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list. However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any contract awarded in accordance with this Rule and shall not be a basis for a protest of any contract award. (d) If the District has pre-qualified suppliers of goods, supplies, and materials, then, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies, or responses. (e) In order to be eligible to submit a bid, proposal, reply, or response, a firm or individual must, at the time of receipt of the bids, proposals, replies, or responses: (i) Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing; (ii) Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any; (iii) Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the vendor is a corporation; and (iv) Meet any special pre-qualification requirements set forth in the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. Evidence of compliance with these Rules must be submitted with the bid, proposal, reply, or response if required by the District. Failure to submit evidence of compliance when required may be grounds for rejection of the bid, proposal, reply, or response. Any firm or individual whose principal place of business is outside the State of Florida must also submit a written opinion of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in that foreign state, as to the preferences, if any or none, granted by the law of that foreign state to business entities whose principal places of business are in that foreign state, in the letting of any or all public contracts. Failure to submit such a written opinion or submission of a false or misleading written opinion may be grounds for rejection of the bid, proposal, reply, or response. (f) Bids, proposals, replies, and responses shall be publicly opened at the time and place noted on the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. Bids, proposals, replies, and responses shall be evaluated in accordance with the respective Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, and this Rule. Minor variations in the bids, proposals, replies, or responses may be waived by the Board. A variation is minor if waiver of the variation does not create a competitive advantage or disadvantage of a material nature. Mistakes in arithmetic extension of pricing may be corrected by the Board. Bids and proposals may not be modified or supplemented after opening; provided however, additional information may be requested and/or provided to evidence compliance, make non-material modifications, clarifications, or supplementations, and as otherwise permitted by Florida law. (g) The lowest Responsive Bid, after taking into account the preferences provided for in this subsection, submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Bidder in response to an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be accepted. If the lowest Responsive Bid is submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Bidder whose principal place of business is located in a foreign state which does not grant a preference in competitive purchase to businesses whose principal place of business are in that foreign state, the lowest Responsible and Responsive Bidder whose principal place of business is in the State of Florida shall be awarded a preference of five percent (5%). If the lowest Responsive Bid is submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Bidder whose principal place of business is located in a foreign state which grants a preference in competitive purchase to businesses whose principal place of business are in that foreign state, the lowest Responsible and Responsive Bidder whose principal place of business is in the State of Florida shall be awarded a preference equal to the preference granted by such foreign state. To assure full understanding of the responsiveness to the solicitation requirements contained in an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, discussions may be conducted with qualified vendors. Vendors shall be accorded fair treatment prior to the submittal date with respect to any opportunity for discussion, preparation, and revision of bids, proposals, replies, and responses. (h) The Board shall have the right to reject all bids, proposals, replies, or responses because they exceed the amount of funds budgeted for the purchase, if there are not enough to be competitive, or if rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No vendor shall be entitled to recover any costs of bid, proposal, reply, or response preparation or submittal from the District. (i) The Board may require bidders and proposers to furnish bid bonds, performance bonds, and/or other bonds with a responsible surety to be approved by the Board. (j) Notice of intent to award, including rejection of some or all bids, proposals, replies, or responses, shall be provided in writing to all vendors by United States Mail, electronic mail, hand delivery, or overnight delivery service. The notice shall include the following statement: "Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules," or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s purchase of goods, supplies, and materials under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11. (k) If less than three (3) Responsive Bids, Proposals, Replies, or Responses are received, the District may purchase goods, supplies, or materials, or may reject the bids, proposals, replies, or responses for a lack of competitiveness. If no Responsive Bid, Proposal, Reply, or Response is received, the District may proceed with the procurement of goods, supplies, and materials, in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District, which may include, but is not limited to, a direct purchase of the goods, supplies, and materials without further competitive selection processes. (3) Goods, Supplies, and Materials included in a Construction Contract Awarded Pursuant to Rule 3.5 or 3.6. There may be occasions where the District has undergone the competitive purchase of construction services which contract may include the provision of goods, supplies, or materials. In that instance, the District may approve a change order to the contract and directly purchase the goods, supplies, and materials. Such purchase of goods, supplies, and materials deducted from a competitively purchased construction contract shall be exempt from this Rule. (4) Exemption. Goods, supplies, and materials that are only available from a single source are exempt from this Rule. Goods, supplies, and materials provided by governmental agencies are exempt from this Rule. A contract for goods, supplies, or materials is exempt from this Rule if state or federal law prescribes with whom the District must contract or if the rate of payment is established during the appropriation process. This Rule shall not apply to the purchase of goods, supplies, or materials that are purchased under a federal, state, or local government contract that has been competitively procured by such federal, state, or local government in a manner consistent with the material procurement requirements of these Rules. (5) Renewal. Contracts for the purchase of goods, supplies, and/or materials subject to this Rule may be renewed for a maximum period of five (5) years. (6) Emergency Purchases. The District may make an Emergency Purchase without complying with these rules. The fact that an Emergency Purchase has occurred or is necessary shall be noted in the minutes of the next Board meeting. Specific Authority: §§ 190.011(5), 190.011(15), Fla. Stat. Law Implemented: §§ 189.053, 190.033, 287.017, 287.084, Fla. Stat. Rule 3.9 Maintenance Services. (1) Scope. All contracts for maintenance of any District facility or project shall be set under the terms of this Rule if the cost exceeds the amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FOUR. A contract involving goods, supplies, and materials plus maintenance services may, in the discretion of the Board, be treated as a contract for maintenance services. However, a purchase shall not be divided solely in order to avoid the threshold bidding requirements. (2) Procedure. When a purchase of maintenance services is within the scope of this Rule, the following procedures shall apply: (a) The Board shall cause to be prepared an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. (b) Notice of the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the District and within the county in which the District is located. The notice shall also include the amount of the bid bond, if one is required.

(g) The lowest Responsive Bid submitted in response to an Invitation to Bid by a Responsive and Responsible Bidder shall be accepted. In relation to a Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation the Board shall select the Responsive Proposal, Reply, or Response submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Vendor which is most advantageous to the District. To assure full understanding of the responsiveness to the solicitation requirements contained in a Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, discussions may be conducted with qualified vendors. Vendors shall be accorded fair treatment prior to the submittal date with respect to any opportunity for discussion, preparation, and revision of bids, proposals, replies, or responses.

For purposes of this Rule, wherever applicable, filing will be perfected and deemed to have occurred upon receipt by the District. Failure to file a notice of protest shall constitute a waiver of all rights to protest the District’s intended decision. Failure to file a formal written protest shall constitute an abandonment of the protest proceedings and shall automatically terminate the protest proceedings. (b) Except for those situations covered by subsection (1)(a) of this Rule, any firm or person who is affected adversely by a District’s ranking or intended award under Rules 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, or 3.9 and desires to contest the District’s ranking or intended award, shall file with the District a written notice of protest within seventy-two (72) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays) after receipt of the notice of the District’s ranking or intended award.

Upon receipt of a notice of protest which has been timely filed, the District shall not execute the contract under protest until the subject of the protest is resolved. However, if the District sets forth in writing particular facts and circumstances showing that delay incident to protest proceedings will jeopardize the funding for the project, will materially increase the cost of the project, or will create an immediate and serious danger to the public health, safety, or welfare, the contract may be executed.

(4) Formal Proceeding. If the Board determines a protest involves disputed issues of material fact or if the Board elects not to use the informal proceeding process provided for in section (3) of this Rule, the District shall schedule a formal hearing to resolve the protest.

Through our many years of serving as District Engineer, we’ve been successful at becoming an extension of the CDD’s Project Management group, with the ability to understand project needs and proposing only on what is necessary to complete the task at hand. Our management team is committed to a quality product that is consistent with Olympus CDD’s policies and procedures. Stormwater Management Services Our integrated stormwater management services range from large basin studies to the design of collection systems. Our team has performed analysis on various projects throughout Florida. We have designed culvert replacements to extensions on numerous roadway projects, ranging from two-lane rural widening to multi-lane expressways. Drainage design and permitting are critical parts of any project. We will provide assistance to the District in coordination with MS4 support, total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), numeric nutrient criteria support, drainage, erosion and sediment control, stormwater basin modeling, assessment and evaluation drainage systems, design and construction plans for stormwater management systems, and coordination with state and federal agencies. Assumptions and/or omissions in this area can cause significant delays in the project schedule, increase costs during construction, and even lead to possible litigation against the District. We are experienced in identifying, analyzing, and addressing drainage impacts associated with a variety of project types. Our drainage staff is knowledgeable of Water Management District criteria, and we are adept at developing creative and innovative solutions to drainage problems. We also have experience preparing flood studies with FEMA. At the heart of our approach is a thorough document review of the existing plans, USGS Quadrangle Maps, USDA Soil Survey, FEMA Flood Insurance Maps and aerial photographs. With this data in hand, we will perform a field review during the prescope meeting, identify all drainage and permitting issues, and discuss possible drainage solutions with the District. Existing drainage patterns, ponding concerns and erosion problems will be documented. We will contact the District’s Maintenance Engineer to discuss any concerns regarding the project area. Water/Wastewater Services Our team can provide utility analyses of existing master systems, preparation and updates to master plans, as well as preparation of utility construction plans. Dewberry can analyze the existing utility systems and make recommendations for upgrades or replacement. We have designed numerous utility collection and transmission facilities, gravity sewers, force mains, reuse water, and potable water systems. We have also designed numerous wastewater and water pump stations. We also have experience in the transformation of septic tank systems by the installation of new sewer systems. Transportation Services Dewberry has provided roadway and bridge design services to numerous governmental agencies throughout Florida for over 30 years. Our projects have ranged from minor intersection improvements and milling and resurfacing of existing roadways to capacity improvements and complex, multilevel interchanges. The extensive experience of our staff in the design, preparation of construction documents, and post design services for roadways, bridges, and associated systems provides Olympus with the expertise to handle any type of transportation related assignment. Our transportation design staff, coupled with the survey, drainage, environmental, and permitting capabilities, allows us to efficiently complete any assignment, as all disciplines required are available in-house. Traffic design may include one or more of the following items, dependent upon a specific project: signing design, pavement marking design, signal warrant analysis, signalization design, lighting justification, lighting design, and traffic studies. We have extensive experience in these phases of the project, and we are qualified to perform all aspects of traffic engineering. Engineering services related to structural design may be required for bridge widenings, bridge rail replacements, box culvert extensions, retaining walls, sheet piling, overhead sign structures, multi-post guide signs, signal poles, mast arms light poles, and foundations for signs, signal poles, and lighting. We have an experienced in-house staff to provide these services. Survey and Mapping Services Dewberry has provided continuing surveying services for many counties and municipalities throughout the State of Florida. Our large in-house survey staff, with numerous crews out of our Orlando and Jacksonville office, are well-versed in the rigors of on-call assignments and the immediate response time they require. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to provide cost effective surveying, right of way (ROW) mapping, utility designation, and subsurface utility engineering (SUE) for roadway, municipal, and civil development projects. We have extensive experience in boundary surveys, topographic design surveys, tree surveys, inventory surveys, and underground utility mapping. Our survey team has a dedicated staff of photogrammetrists who specialize in aerial photogrammetry, fixed and aerial LiDAR, and GIS mapping. Our services for surveying and mapping may include asbuilt surveys, boundary surveys, eminent domain surveys, GIS, legal description preparation, plat preparation, property sketches, ROW mapping, SUE, topographic surveys, and utility surveys. SUE technology combines geophysics, surveying, and civil engineering to better locate underground utilities. This service helps our clients avoid costly utility conflicts and construction delays caused by inaccurately plotted utilities. Our 3D laser scanning equipment allows our survey crews to accurately collect field data comprehensively and, most importantly, safely. Dewberry is one of a select few firms in the state to have this technology. Environmental/Permitting Services From determining wetland lines to the understanding of current rules and regulations for water management districts, our staff has full understanding and experience in providing these services for cities and other governmental agencies. We have obtained permits with various local, state, and federal agencies for a variety of projects. We understand how to prepare permit applications, work closely with the agencies, and obtain permits for your projects. Dewberry will track the permit status for each agency, keep the District informed of the progress of all permits, and respond promptly to all requests for additional information. As part of our efforts for the Olympus CDD, we will assist in determining the permits needed for each development project along with the anticipated schedules for obtaining each permit. Additionally, we have experience in permitting with governmental agencies such as the Water Management Districts, FDEP, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and FDOT. We have staff that consists of both engineers and environmental scientists, many of which have worked previously for various permitting agencies. Landscape Architecture/Planning Dewberry has extensive landscape architecture experience throughout Florida. Our project experience includes residential, retail office, mixed-use, streetscapes, and recreational uses, as well as hardscape and irrigation design. Our hardscape designs have included corporate plazas, streetscapes, fountains, amenity areas for multi-family projects, and urban plazas. Our planning services to Olympus CDD will include presentations to CDD Commissioners and public meetings, where we would provide assistance to the District for the understanding of technical issues, proposed developments, projected roadway designs, possible ROW changes, and to provide a professional and expert opinion on issues that may be needed by the District. Dewberry can assist the District with the following planning services: • Comprehensive planning • Review of comprehensive plan amendments • Preparing land development regulations, including form based codes, GIS, and mapping services • Transportation planning • Revitalization/redevelopment planning Public Involvement and Outreach Open and effective communication is essential to the successful completion of any project. It’s important to develop and maintain a sense of trust and understanding with the public. This is best accomplished by developing a plan tailored to the surrounding community potentially impacted and depending on the nature and extent of the project. Outreach may include a Community Awareness Plan, which would detail the specific methods proposed and list the targeted stakeholders within a specific corridor or project study area. Other public outreach activities could include the management of a project hotline and/or stakeholder database and distributing information through a variety of notifications to local residents, property owners, schools, businesses, local officials, and other stakeholders. We have found that evaluation of all potential improvements and design concepts and sharing the results of extensive data collection early in the study process creates a level of comfort with the public in two respects: • There is an open exchange of information; and • A technically sound approach is being used to serve the best interests of the public. Coordination with City staff and others will be strengthened by our team’s diverse project experience and previous involvement with a variety of stakeholders. Our team is adept at planning and coordinating public workshops, and smaller homeowner associations, and group workshops. Construction Administration/CEI We have continually provided construction administration services to our clients on most of the projects we have designed. Dewberry understands the importance of establishing and maintaining budgets. As a project is constructed, our team must monitor the project budget and keep the District consistently informed. We have worked with many cities and counties on providing all construction services, including assistance in the preparation of bid documents, prebid meetings, pre-construction meetings, construction administration, site observation, pay application review, and approvals. We also provide shop drawing reviews and approvals per construction documents. We will provide assistance to District staff in the administration of construction contracts. Our team is currently providing these services to many municipalities across the state of Florida. Our construction administration staff is prepared to support the District in various construction management related tasks. We routinely perform these services for both our public and private clients. Our services include: • Construction Inspection • Shop Drawing Review • Pay Application Verification • Construction Scheduling • Utility Company Coordination • Final Regulatory Acceptance • Record Drawings • Project Value Engineering • Bid Document Preparation • Bid Summarization and Analysis • Contract Preparation Task Initiation Our Project Approach will vary due to the type of assignment; however, the important first steps in task initiation involve data gathering and scope development. Data Gathering This phase consists of defining the project objectives, identifying elements involved in the task, conducting a field review meeting (if required), and developing a detailed scope of services. This phase will begin once the District has identified a specific task or project. Once identified, we will coordinate with the District to obtain all existing information. This data collection effort is very important because it provides valuable information before developing the scope of services. If applicable or desired, an on-site field review meeting will be held jointly with the District and other appropriate agencies to discuss the task objectives and identify areas of concern. Discussions regarding the project’s background, scope requirements, constraints, and other relevant issues will be held to understand the overall project goals. Based on the data collection effort and the initial on-site field meeting, the specific plan elements required for the task will be identified and agreed to with the District prior to developing a scope of services. Scope Development A detailed scope of services, fee estimate, and schedule for each task will be developed based on the data gathering efforts and discussions. This scope and work effort will be heavily influenced by the quality of the data collected and the specific needs of each task. Man-hour estimates will be provided for each discipline involved. The scope and work effort will be prepared and negotiated quickly, so as not to affect the schedule. Other Considerations COST CONTROL We constantly review our designs and look for ways to save our clients time and money. We exercise common sense engineering to provide practical design solutions, not merely based how things have always been done. PROJECT COSTS We understand the financial constraints that clients face due to budget cuts and rising construction and ROW costs. We will review all designs prepared by Dewberry or others for cost savings measures that will not affect the intention or safety of the project. Our recent experience has shown that minor changes in the design can save materials, and reduce or avoid costly business damage claims and ROW impacts. Another key to cost controls is to estimate costs early in the design process and as the design evolves, not just near the end of the design process. Early cost estimating allows for more options to be explored and provides the District with opportunities to adjust budgets as needed. PROJECT SCHEDULE The importance of maintaining the project schedule through the design or review process cannot be overstated. Dewberry is committed to developing and adhering to the project schedule for each assignment. This is important to us because if we fail to successfully complete any assignment on time, our ability to obtain additional assignments with Olympus will be limited. We will maintain an overall schedule of projects to help with internal and external coordination. We fully understand what is required to keep a project on schedule. Our team will use the following proven actions to control the project schedule: • Experienced Client Manager: Our District Engineer, Rey Malavé, routinely manages multi-discipline projects where coordination is critical. Dewberry’s wide range of in-house services ensures close coordination between disciplines, enabling us to direct our staffing resources. INITIATION OF TASK COMMUNICATES WITH DISTRICT ENGINEER, REY MALAVÉ, PE ASSIGNMENT OF TASK MANAGER ONE TASK MANAGER FROM START TO FINISH PRELIMINARY DESIGN • Identify/define project scope • Initiate site review • Establish key staff • Discuss special issues, concerns, additional stakeholders COST PROPOSAL • Detailed description of project and scope of services • Initial estimate of construction cost and fees • Propose schedule • Identify needs for specific information/data APPROVAL/AUTHORIZATION PRELIMINARY DESIGN EFFORT • Establish/investigate existing conditions • Identify/evaluate alternative solutions • Investigate possible utility conflicts • Develop scope for required investigative testing • Develop preliminary design documents • Quality Assurance/Quality Control review • Develop cost estimate • Prepare final preliminary design package REVIEW PRELIMINARY DESIGN DESIGN SERVICES • Construction plans • Specifications • Quality Assurance/Quality Control review • Bid documents BID AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES • Typical bid services • Construction administration and inspection • Weekly Team Meetings: Coordination will be ensured through weekly team meetings. These meetings will be used to track progress on individual tasks and as a planning tool. • Monthly Progress Reports: Monthly progress reports will be supplied to Olympus. These reports will be an effective snapshot of the status of each assignment and will be used to identify any potential schedule issues. • Being Proactive: We will be proactive (vs. reactive) on all tasks while managing the schedule Emphasis will be placed on the activity start dates to ensure timely completion. NPDES MS4 PROGRAM SUPPORT Having completed numerous programs for other cities and counties, we understand the MS4 Program and have the staff to assist the CDD in updates, compliance questions, and recommendations as needed in the ongoing program. INDEPENDENT PEER REVIEW An independent peer review is performed for each phase submittal. Dewberry’s established Quality Management Program requires the review to be performed by senior-level staff not directly involved in the project to make sure quality standards are met are met on every submittal. CONSTRUCTABILITY/BID-ABILITY REVIEW Prior to the 90 and 100 percent submittals, the plans will be subjected to a constructability/bid-ability review. This review will be performed by our in-house construction administrators , who are experienced in CDD requirements. Quality Assurance/Quality Control Dewberry understands the value of repeat business. Our District Engineer, Rey Malavé, PE, has 20 years of experience servicing a variety of CDDs across Florida. Our commitment to personalized client service is such that we guarantee we will respond to each client’s needs promptly and effectively. From the beginning, we recognized that functional efficiency and technical excellence must be provided as a matter of course in engineering design. Each project produced by our firm reflects this corporate commitment to excellence, and our insurance is our Quality Control Plan. Our Quality Assurance Plan and procedures are based on the philosophies that include: • Plan: Quality is controlled by adequate planning, coordination, supervision, technical direction, proper definition of job requirements and procedures, and the involvement of experienced professionals. • Do: Quality is achieved by individuals performing work functions carefully and “doing it right the first time.” • Check: Quality is verified through checking, reviewing, and supervising work activities, with documentation by objective individuals who were not directly responsible for performing the initial work. • Act: Quality is ensured by having a manager perform quality assurance functions that involve monitoring and close review of the work and the procedures used in performing the work.

Thiel, President SECTION 3: Qualifications and Experience QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE A woman wearing glasses and a black shirt is smiling for the camera. AI generated content A. Ability and Adequacy of Professional Personnel We have carefully selected our team of professionals and technical experts to match our experience and expertise with the qualifications required. Our firm has a wide array of experience, disciplines, and resources available to provide the required services to the Dowden Central CDD. Our team can provide engineering design, planning management, technical, and administrative services as requested and will make a commitment to prioritize the CDD’s needs. Serving as District Engineer, Rey Malavé, PE, has 46 years of experience in civil engineering design and a diversified background in the designing and permitting of municipal infrastructure systems. His areas of expertise includes stormwater management systems, sanitary sewage collection systems, water distribution systems, and site development. He has managed and participated in the planning and designing of numerous large, complex projects for public and private clients. He has extensive knowledge of permitting requirements and has developed a rapport with permitting agencies, including the FDEP, FDOT, SWFWMD, and other local agencies. He has served as the District Engineer for over 25 CDDs and Improvement Districts in Florida. Our Assistant District Engineer is Susan Tierney. She has 31 years’ experience managing multi-disciplined engineering projects. Her expertise includes project management and design for photovoltaic and wireless communication build-outs; managing structural design and renovation of industrial, pharmaceutical, and commercial buildings; assisting the design and construction managers on multi-million-dollar, federal design-build task orders. She most recently led FEMA deployed housing missions as Task Order Manager in response to Hurricanes Helene, Milton, Ian, and Idalia. Susan Tierney ASSISTANT DISTRICT ENGINEER Rey Malavé, PE DISTRICT ENGINEER WHY DEWBERRY? OUR MAIN OFFICE IS LOCATED IN ORLANDO AND IS MINUTES FROM DOWDEN CENTRAL CDD LOCAL, EXPERIENCED DISTRICT ENGINEER READY TO WORK FOR YOU COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF CDD’S INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONAL NEEDS 320+ EMPLOYEES IN 12 OFFICES WITHIN FLORIDA, COLLABORATING TO SERVE OVER 50 CDDs IN FLORIDA COHESIVE GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS INTEGRATED ACROSS SERVICE AREAS TO LEVERAGE SUCCESS FOR OUR CLIENTS 60+ YEARS HELPING CLIENTS BUILD AND SHAPE COMMUNITIES 49 B. Certified Minority Business Enterprise Although we are not MBE or WBE certified, Dewberry takes extra strides to include small, disadvantaged minority, and/or woman owned businesses for subcontracted professional services. Dewberry is committed to developing valuable relationships with businesses that are minority, woman, disadvantaged, veteran, and LGBTQIA+- owned, and small, HubZone, and 8 (a); providing maximum practicable opportunities for suppliers that can offer innovative, competitive, costeffective, and quality products and services. Purchasing goods and services from these businesses results in continuous improvement of our supply chain, expansion of our markets, and overall economic success of our suppliers, clients, and communities. C. Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements Dewberry recognizes the importance of maintaining project budgets. We have a long history of providing on-schedule services and projects that fit within the client’s budget. Over 85% of our work is from repeat clients, a testament to our ability to work within a budget and schedule. The following proven actions will be used by our team to control the project budget: • Experienced Staff: The most effective means of meeting the design budget and schedule is by using experienced staff with the knowledge, training, and equipment necessary to perform their assigned tasks. Dewberry‘s Project Team has these attributes. • Construction Budget Controls: We are acutely aware of the volatile construction materials market and its impact on construction budgets. As such, we periodically update our cost data to verify that the most current unit prices are being used for the construction cost estimates. • Project Schedule: One way we keep costs in line is by developing and maintaining a schedule for each task. We build a design quality control checking date into every schedule prior to the submittal date for all project deliverables. We have found that focusing on the submittal date often results in rushed or incomplete quality control checks of the plans. Therefore, we will schedule a quality check date at least two weeks prior to the submittal date to make sure that the process is completed. This also allows our District Engineer and team to focus on the quality control date, resulting in plenty of time for the process to work and thus further committing to the project’s budget. 50 Our project management and organizational structure within each key service areas demonstrates our thorough understanding of the scope of this contract and our desire to meet the objectives of the project assignments. Our senior experienced professionals are well versed in addressing their particular specialty area and have associates working under their direction to tackle any assignment from Dowden Central CDD efficiently. This organizational structure has a long history of success as a model that Dewberry has implemented across the country for similar CDDs and public agencies.
