We feel it is best for you to move forward with having the liens released prior to closing. I am more than happy to attend the lien reduction meeting in case there are any questions regarding the CRA’s intent to purchase the property. You will need to file an application with City in order to be placed on the magistrate’s hearing schedule. The hearings are held the third Wednesday of every month: February 19, 2025 March 19, 2025 April 16, 2025 The City can provide you with the application and instructions on how to move forward in having lien #09-3894 reduced. They can also advise on the procedure for the active liens. It is my understanding that these are the current liens on the property: Lien # 09-3894 placarded as unsafe building - unfit to be occupied. This property was demolished on 2/28/2020. An affidavit of compliance was prepared using compliance date 2/28/2020. There are 3572 days of non-compliance at $ 50.00/day plus administrative charges of $ 730.15 Lien payoff $ 179,330.15 Active lot lien 16-957 cited to mow the property and remove all the loose trash & debris The city hired a vendor to cure the violation - there is an unpaid invoice. Lien payoff calculated to 1/30/2025 $ 970.14 Active lot lien 22-2749 cited to mow the property and remove all the loose trash & debris The city hired a vendor to cure the violation - there is an unpaid invoice. Lien payoff calculated to 1/30/2025 $ 649.40 Active lot lien 23-1416 cited to mow the property and remove all the loose trash & debris The city hired a vendor to cure the violation - there is an unpaid invoice. Lien payoff calculated to 1/30/2025 $ 893.62 Active Utility Lien per Erin Dunn $ $5,817.99. Our closing is scheduled for March 1, 2025.

Summary The City is seeking shared public sector transit services that offer dynamically allocated routes and schedules in response to individual or aggregate consumer demand, using smaller vehicles and capitalizing on mobile GPS and internet connectivity. The City has successfully funded the operation of a micro-transit service in the downtown and A1A corridor for the last 4 years. The micro transit services have been well accepted with increasing ridership. The Current contract is set to expire and would like the opportunity to solicit new proposals that would complement a new community shuttle service as well as expansion of the service to other areas of the City, especially west of I-95. The goal of the micro-transit service will be to transition paratransit customers by transporting them in a less expensive manner to a fixed route transfer point and/or address areas in the City with high concentrations of older and low-income residents who need access to transit. Any rider fees will be determined by the City and 100% of all net proceeds from fees generated by riders will be returned to the City in the form of a credit to each monthly invoice. The City has the right to audit the Contractor’s collection of fees. The successful Vendor/Contractor will have demonstrated demand response experience particularly in areas with no existing service. The Contractor will own or have access to a fleet of environmentally friendly and sustainable vehicles that include fully accessible minibuses with capacity between 12 and 28 passengers. Vehicles should be small enough for energy efficiency, but large enough to handle occasional larger demands (schools, employment centers, transfer stations). Smaller low speed electric vehicles may be used on smaller streets and more acceptable neighborhoods. The strategic objective of this initiative is to identify and implement a sustainable micro -transit system that moves people to and from their destination. Another strategic objective is that over time this program will transition to being fully supported by the business community in Hollywood, Hollywood Beach, and the surrounding area. 1.2. Background Currently the City plans to operate a Community Shuttle System with three fixed routes (Northwest Loop - City Hall to N. Beach Park, A1A Loop - N. Beach Park to E Hallandale Blvd. and a Southeast Loop - City Hall to Pembroke Rd.) The fixed route system is expected to be operational by mid-2023 and will provide public transportation service to improve mobility, and ease parking demand and traffic congestion.

INTENT It is the policy of the City to encourage full and open competition among all available qualified vendors. All vendors regularly engaged in the type of Work specified in the Solicitation are encouraged to submit proposals. To receive notification and to be eligible to bid vendor should be registered with OpenGov. Vendors may register with the OpenGov (registration is free) to be included on a mailing list for selected categories of goods and Services. In order to be processed for payment, any awarded vendor must register with the City by completing and returning a Vendor Application and all supporting documents. For information and to apply as a vendor, please visit our website at hollywoodfl.org to download an application and submit it to Procurement Services Division. It is the intent of the City of Hollywood, FL (“the City”), through this solicitation and the contract conditions contained herein, to establish to the greatest possible extent complete clarity regarding the requirements of both parties to the agreement resulting from this solicitation. Before submitting a bid/proposal, the Vendor shall be thoroughly familiarized with all contract conditions referred to in this document and any addenda issued before the bid/proposal submission date. Such addenda shall form a part of the SOLICITATION and shall be made a part of the contract. It shall be the Vendor's responsibility to ascertain that the bid/proposal includes all addenda issued prior to the bid/proposal submission date. Addenda will be posted on the City's Procurement Portal along with the SOLICITATION. The terms of the SOLICITATION and the selected Vendor’s bid/proposal and any additional documentation (e.g. questions and answers) provided by the Vendor during the solicitation process will be integrated into the final contract for services entered into between the City and the selected Vendor. The Vendor shall determine, by personal examination and by such other means as may be preferred, the conditions and requirements under which the agreement must be performed. 7.2. PROPOSER’S RESPONSIBILITIES Proposers are required to submit their bids/proposals upon the following express conditions: A. Proposers shall thoroughly examine the drawings, specifications, schedules, instructions and all other contract documents. B. Proposers shall make all investigations necessary to thoroughly inform themselves regarding delivery of material, equipment or services as required by the SOLICITATION conditions. No plea of ignorance, by the proposer, of conditions that exist or that may hereafter exist as a result of failure or omission on the part of the proposer to make the necessary examinations and investigations, or failure to fulfill in every detail the requirements of the contract documents, will be accepted as a basis for varying the requirements of the City or the compensation due the proposer. 574 22 C. Proposers are advised that all City contracts are subject to all legal requirements provided for in the City of Hollywood Charter, Code of Ordinances and applicable County Ordinances, State Statutes and Federal Statutes. 7.3. PREPARATION OF BIDS/PROPOSALS Bids/proposals will be prepared in accordance with the following: A. The City’s enclosed bid/proposal Forms, in their entirety, are to be used in submitting your bid/proposal. NO OTHER FORM WILL BE ACCEPTED. B. All information required by the bid/proposal form shall be furnished. The proposer shall sign each continuation sheet (where indicated) on which an entry is made. C. Prices shall be shown and where there is an error in the extension of prices, the unit price shall govern. The City of Hollywood is exempt from payment to its vendors of State of Florida sales tax and, therefore, such taxes should not be figured into the SOLICITATION. However, this exemption does not apply to suppliers to the City in their (supplier) purchases of goods or services, used in work or goods supplied to the City. Proposers are responsible for any taxes, sales or otherwise, levied on their purchases, subcontracts, employment, etc. An exemption certificate will be signed where applicable, upon request. The City will pay no sales tax. 7.4. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES Any manufacturer's names, trade names, brand names, or catalog numbers used in these applications are for the purpose of describing and establishing minimum requirements or level of quality, standards of performance, and design required, and are in no way intended to prohibit the bidding of other manufacturers' items of equal material, unless specifications state "NO SUBSTITUTIONS." Proposers must indicate any variances to the specifications, terms, and conditions, no matter how slight. If variations are not stated in the bid/proposal, it shall be construed that the bid/proposal fully complies with the Specifications, Terms and Conditions. Proposers are required to state exactly what they intend to furnish; otherwise they sh all be required to furnish the items as specified. Proposers will submit, with their bid/proposal, necessary data (factory information sheets, specifications, brochures, etc.) to evaluate and determine the quality of the item(s) they are proposing. The City shall be the sole judge of equality and its decision shall be final. 7.5. ADDENDA The Procurement Services Division may issue an addendum in response to any inquiry received, prior to bid/proposal opening, which changes, adds to or clarifies the terms, provisions or requirements of the solicitation. The Proposer should not rely on any representation, statement or explanation, whether written or verbal, other than those made in this solicitation document or in any addenda issued. Where there appears to be a conflict between this solicitation and any 575 23 addendum, the last addendum issued shall prevail. It is the proposer’s responsibility to ensure receipt of all addenda and any accompanying documents. Proposer(s) shall acknowledge receipt of any formal Addenda by signing the addendum and including it with their bid/proposal. Failure to include signed formal addenda in its bid/proposal shall cause the City to deem the bid/proposal non-responsive provided, however, that the City may waive this requirement in its best interest. 7.6. REJECTION OF BIDS/PROPOSALS The City may reject a bid/proposal if: A. The Proposer fails to acknowledge receipt of an addendum, or if B. The Proposer misstates or conceals any material fact in the bid/proposal, or if C. The bid/proposal does not strictly conform to the law or requirements of the SOLICITATION, or if D. The City is under a pre-lawsuit claim or current litigation with the proposer. The City may reject all bids/proposals whenever it is deemed in the best interest of the City to do so, and may reject any part of a bid/proposal unless the bid/proposal has been qualified as provided in herein. 7.7. WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS/PROPOSALS A. May not be withdrawn and shall be deemed enforceable for a period of 180 days after the time set for the SOLICITATION opening. B. Bids/proposals may be withdrawn prior to the time set for the SOLICITATION opening via the Portal. C.

Extensions of time when bids/proposals shall remain open beyond the 180 day period may be made only by mutual written agreement between the City, the successful Proposer and the surety, if any, for the successful Proposer. 7.9. LATE BIDS/PROPOSALS OR MODIFICATIONS Only bids/proposals received as of the opening date and time will be considered timely. Bids/proposals and modifications received after the time set for the opening will be returned un- opened to the sender and rejected as late. 7.10. CONFLICTS WITHIN THE SOLICITATION Where there appears to be a conflict between the General Terms and Conditions, Special Conditions, the Technical Specifications, the SOLICITATION Submittal Section, or any 576 24 addendum issued, the order of precedence shall be the last addendum issued, the SOLICITATION Submittal Section, the Technical Specifications, the Special Conditions, and then the General Terms and Conditions. 7.11. CLARIFICATION OR OBJECTION TO BID/PROPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS If any person contemplating submitting a bid/proposal for this contract is in doubt as to the true meaning of the specifications or other SOLICITATION documents or any part thereof, they may submit requests for clarification to the Procurement Services Division on or before the date specified for a request for clarification. All such requests for clarification shall be made in writing and the person submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any interpretation of the SOLICITATION, if made, will be made only by Addendum duly issued. A copy of such Addendum will be made available to each person receiving a Solicitation. The City will not be responsible for any other explanation or interpretation of the SOLICITATION given prior to the award of the contract. Any objection to the specifications and requirements as set forth in this SOLICITATION must be filed in writing with the Chief Procurement Officer on or before the date specified for a request for clarification. 7.12. COMPETENCY OF PROPOSERS Pre-award inspection of the Proposer’s facility may be made prior to the award of a contract. Bids/proposals will be considered only from firms which are regularly engaged in the business of providing the goods and/or services as described in this SOLICITATION(s); have a record of performance for a reasonable period of time; and have sufficient financial support, equipment and organization to ensure that they can satisfactorily deliver the material and/or services if awarded a Contract under the terms and conditions herein stated. The terms "equipment and organization" as used herein shall be construed to mean a fully equipped and well established company in line with the best business practices in the industry and as determined by the proper authorities of the City. The City may consider any evidence available to it of the financial, technical and other qualifications and abilities of a proposer, including past performance (experience) in making the award in the best interest of the City. In all cases the City of Hollywood shall have no liability to any proposer for any costs or expense incurred in connection with this SOLICITATION or otherwise. 7.13. QUALIFICATIONS OF PROPOSERS No Bid/proposal will be accepted from, nor will any contract be awarded to any person who is in arrears to the City upon any debt or contract, or who is a defaulter, as surety or otherwise, upon any obligation to City, or who is deemed responsible or unreliable by the City. As part of the bid/proposal evaluation process, City may conduct a background investigation including a record check by the Hollywood Police Department. Proposer’s submission of a bid/proposal constitutes acknowledgment of the process and consent to such investigation. City shall be the sole judge in determining a Proposer’s qualifications. 577 25 7.14. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS/PROPOSALS In cases where an item requested is identified by a manufacturer's name, trade name, catalog number, or reference, it is understood that the Vendor proposes to furnish the item so identified and does not propose to furnish an "equal" unless the proposed "equal" is pre-approved by the City. References to any of the above are intended to be descriptive but not restrictive and only indicate articles that will be satisfactory. A bid/proposal of an "equal" will be considered, provided that the Vendor states in his bid/proposal exactly what he proposes to furnish, including sample, illustration, or other descriptive matter which will clearly indicate the character of the article covered by such bid/proposal. The designated City representative hereby reserves the right to approve as an “equal”, or to reject as not being an “equal”, any article proposed which contains major or minor variations from specifications requirements. 7.15. AWARD OF CONTRACT If the Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded, after evaluation by the City, to the responsible and responsive Proposer whom the City determines will be in the best interests of the City and not necessarily to the lowest cost Proposer. Proposers may be invited to an oral interview before the committee. A short list of finalists will be determined and presented to either the City Manager or his/her designee or to the City Commission, in accordance with the applicable City of Hollywood Code of Ordinances, and will make the final ranking for the purposes of negotiating a contract with the top ranked firm. The successful Proposer shall be required to sign a negotiated contract; the refusal or failure of a successful Proposer to execute a contract which contains the mandatory material terms and conditions contained in the SOLICITATION, shall be grounds for deeming the Proposer and/or the Proposer’s bid/proposal non-responsive. If applicable, the Proposer to whom award is made shall execute a written contract prior to award by the City Commission. If the Proposer to whom the first award is made fails to enter into a contract as herein provided, the Contract may be let to the next highest ranked Proposer who is responsible and responsive in the opinion of the City. 7.16. BASIS FOR AWARD, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND QUESTIONS The qualification of bid/proposal responders on this project will be considered in making the award. The City is not obligated to accept any bid/proposal if deemed not in the best interest of the City to do so. The City shall make award to a qualified proposer based on fees submitted and responses to this SOLICITATION. Failure to include in the bid/proposal all information outlined herein may be cause for rejection of the bid/proposal. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids/proposals, in whole or in part, as determined to be in the best interest of the City in its sole discretion. The City reserves the right to waive any informalities or irregularities in bids/proposals. The City reserves the right to negotiate separately the terms and conditions or all or any part of the bids/proposals as deemed to be in the City’s best interest in its sole discretion. 578 26 Information and/or factors gathered during interviews, negotiations and any reference checks, and any other information or factors deemed relevant by the City, shall be utilized in the final award. The final award of a contract is subject to approval by the City Commission. 7.17. AGREEMENT An agreement shall be sent to the awarded proposer to be signed, witnessed, and returned to the City for execution. The City will provide a copy of the fully executed agreement to the awarded proposer. 7.18. NOTICE TO PROCEED A signed purchase order, blanket purchase order or fully executed agreement will be the Proposer's authorization to proceed and may substitute for a "Notice to Proceed" form. 7.19. BID PROTESTS The City shall provide notice of its intent to award or reject to all proposers by posting such notice on the City’s website. After a notice of intent to award a contract is posted, any actual or prospective proposer who is aggrieved in connection with the pending award of the contract or any element of the process leading to the award of the contract may protest to the Director of Procurement Services. A protest must be filed within five business days after posting or any right to protest is forfeited. The protest must be in writing, must identify the name and address of the protester, and must include a factual summary of, and the basis for, the protest. Filing shall be considered complete when the protest, including a deposit, is received by the Procurement Services Division. Failure to file a protest within the time-frame specified herein shall constitute a full waiver of all rights to protest the City’s decision regarding the award. The written protest shall state in detail the specific facts and law or ordinance upon which the protest of the proposed award is based, and shall include all pertinent documents. A written protest may not challenge the relative weight of evaluation criteria or a formula for assigning points. Upon receipt of a formal written protest, the City shall stop award proceedings until resolution of the protest; unless it has been determined that the award of the contract without delay is necessary to protect substantial interests of the City. Any and all costs incurred by a protesting party in connection with a bid protest shall be the sole responsibility of the protesting party. Upon receipt of a protest of the pending award of a contract, a copy of the protest shall promptly be forwarded to the City Attorney. The City Attorney shall thereupon review the charge to determine its sufficiency, including whether the protest was timely filed. If upon review the City Attorney determines that the charge is insufficient, the City Attorney may issue a summary dismissal of the protest. If upon review the City Attorney determines that the charge is sufficient, a hearing of the protest committee shall be scheduled. 579 27 A protest committee shall have the authority to review, settle and resolve the protest. The committee shall consist of three members appointed by the City Manager. The committee’s review shall be informal. If the protest committee determines that the pending award of a contract or any element of the process leading to the award involved a significant violation of law or applicable rule or regulation, all steps necessary and proper to correct the violation shall be taken. If the committee determines that the protest is without merit, The Director shall promptly issue a decision in writing stating the reason for the decision and furnish a copy to the protester and any other interested party, and the process leading to the award shall proceed. 7.20. PREPARATION OF BIDS/PROPOSALS Bids/proposals shall be prepared in accordance with the bid/proposal response format. Bids/proposals not complying with this format may be considered non-responsive and may be removed from consideration on this basis. Requirements for Signing Bid/Proposal: A.

The submission of a bid/proposal will constitute an incontrovertible representation by the Proposer, that the Proposer has complied with every requirement of this SOLICITATION, that without exception, the bid/proposal is premised upon performing the services and/or furnishing the commodities and materials in accordance with such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures as may be indicated in or required by the bid/proposal Documents, and that the bid/proposal Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all terms and conditions of performance and furnishing of the goods and/or services. 7.22. PUBLIC RECORDS LAW If applicable, for each public agency contract for services, the Proposer is required to comply with F.S. 119.0701, which includes the following: 580 28 A. Keep and maintain public records that ordinarily and necessarily would be required by the public agency in order to perform the service. B. Provide the public with access to public records on the same terms and conditions that the public agency would provide the records and at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided in F.S. Chapter 119 or as otherwise provided by law. C. Ensure that public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements are not disclosed except as authorized by law. D. Meet all requirements for retaining public records and transfer, at no cost, to the public agency, all public records in possession of the proposer upon termination of the contract and destroy any duplicate public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements. All records stored electronically must be provided to the public agency in a format that is compatible with the information technology systems of the public agency. Public records may be inspected and examined by anyone desiring to do so, at a reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public record. Sealed Bids/proposals become subject to the public records disclosure requirements of F.S. Chapter 119, notwithstanding a proposers' request to the contrary, at the time the City provides notice of a decision or intended decision, or 30 days after the bid/proposal opening, whichever is earlier. Financial statements submitted in response to a request by the City may be confidential and exempt from disclosure. Data processing software obtained under a licensing agreement which prohibits its disclosure may also exempt. Proposers are hereby notified and agree that all information submitted as part of, or in support of SOLICITATION submittals will be available for public inspection after opening of SOLICITATION in compliance with Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. The proposer shall not, unless required as part of this SOLICITATION, submit any information in response to this invitation which the proposer considers to be a trade secret, proprietary or confidential. The submission, not required as part of this this SOLICITATION, of any information to the City in connection with this invitation shall be deemed conclusively to be a waiver of any trade secret or other protection, which would otherwise be available to the proposer. 7.23.

MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS/PROPOSALS Bids/proposals must be modified or withdrawn electronically via the Portal. A request for withdrawal or a modification must be via the Portal by a person duly authorized to do so.

Except where provided in the following paragraph no bid/proposal may be withdrawn or modified after expiration of the period for receiving bids/proposals. If, within twenty-four (24) hours after bids/proposals are opened, any Proposer files a duly signed written notice with the City and within five (5) calendar days thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the City by clear and convincing evidence that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation of its bid/proposal, or that the mistake is clearly evident on the face of the bid/proposal but the intended correct bid/proposal is not similarly evident, then the Proposer may withdraw its bid/proposal and the bid/proposal Security will be returned. 7.26. REJECTION OF BIDS/PROPOSALS To the extent permitted by applicable state and federal laws and regulations, the City reserves the right to reject any and all bids/proposals, to waive any and all informalities, irregularities and technicalities not involving price, time or changes in the commodities and/or services, and the right to disregard all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional bids/proposals. Bids/proposals will be considered irregular and may be rejected if they show serious omissions, alterations in form, additions not called for, conditions or unauthorized alterations or irregularities of any kind. The City also reserves the right to waive minor technical defects in a bid/proposal. The City reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether any aspect of a bid/proposal satisfies the criteria established in this Solicitation. The City reserves the right to reject the bid/proposal of any Proposer if the City believes that it would not be in the best interest of the City to make an award to that Proposer, whether because the bid/proposal is not responsive or the Proposer is unqualified or of doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any other pertinent standard or criterion established by City. The foregoing reasons for rejection of bids/proposals are not intended to be exhaustive. 582 30 7.27. OPEN END CONTRACT No guarantee is expressed or implied as to the total quantity of commodities/services to be purchased under any open end contract. Estimated quantities will be used for bid/proposal comparison purposes only. The City reserves the right to issue purchase orders as and when required, or a blanket purchase order and release partial quantities as and when required or any combination of the preceding. ORDERING: The CITY reserves the right to purchase commodities/services specified herein through Contracts established by other governmental agencies or through separate procurement actions due to unique or special needs. If an urgent delivery is required within a period shorter than the delivery time specified in the contract, and if the seller is unable to comply therewith, the City reserves the right to obtain such delivery from others without penalty or prejudice to the City or to the Proposer. 7.28. AUDIT RIGHTS The City reserves the right to audit the records of the successful Proposer for the commodities and/or services provided under the Contract at any time during the performance and term of the Contract and for a period of three (3) years after completion and acceptance by the City.

The Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits (i) the employment of an unauthorized alien when the employer knows the individual is an unauthorized alien and (ii) the employment of an individual without complying with the requirements of the federal employment verification system.

COLLUSION More than one bid/proposal received for the same work from an individual, firm, partnership, corporation or association under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Proposer is interested in more than one bid/proposal for the same work will cause the rejection of such bin which the Proposer is interested. If there are reasonable grounds for believing that collusion exists among the Proposers, the bids/proposals of participants in such collusion will not be considered. 7.33. COPELAND "ANTI-KICKBACK" The Proposer and all subproposers will comply with the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act (18 U.S.C. 874) as supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3). 7.34. FORCE MAJEURE The Agreement which is awarded to the successful proposer may provide that the per formance of any act by the City or Proposer hereunder may be delayed or suspended at any time while, but only so long as, either party is hindered in or prevented from performance by acts of God, the elements, war, rebellion, strikes, lockouts or any cause beyond the reasonable control of such party, provided however, the City shall have the right to provide substitute service from third parties or City forces and in such event the City shall withhold payment due the Proposer for such period of time. If the condition of force majeure exceeds a period of 14 days the City may, at its option and discretion, cancel or renegotiate this Agreement. 7.35.

DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAM Preference shall be given to businesses with drug-free workplace programs. Whenever two or more bids/proposals which are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the State or by any political subdivision for the procurement of commodities or contractual services, a bid/proposal received from a business that certifies that it has implemented a drug- free workplace program shall be given preference in the award process. Established procedures for processing tie bids/proposals will be followed if none of the tied vendors have a drug-free workplace program. 7.37. SOLICITATION, GIVING, AND ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS POLICY Proposer shall sign and submit the attached form indicating understanding and compliance with the City's and State's policies prohibiting solicitation and acceptance of gifts by public officers, employees and candidates. Failure to submit the signed form will result in your bid/proposal being declared non-responsive; provided, however, that a responsible proposer whose bid/proposal would be responsive but for the failure to submit the signed form in its bid/proposal may be given the opportunity to submit the form to the City within five calendar days after notification by the City, if this is determined to be in the best interest of the City. 7.38. CONFLICT OF INTEREST The Proposer represents that: No officer, director, employee, agent, or other consultant of the City or a member of the immediate family or household of the aforesaid has directly or indirectly received or been promised any form of benefit, payment or compensation, whether tangible or intangible, in connection with the grant of this Agreement. There are no undisclosed persons or entities interested with the Proposer in this Agreement. This Agreement is entered into by the Proposer without any connection with any other entity or person making a bid/proposal for the same purpose, and without collusion, fraud or conflict of interest. No elected or appointed officer or official, director, employee, agent or other consultant of the City, or of the State of Florida (including elected and appointed members of the legislative and executive branches of government), or member of the immediate family or household of any of the aforesaid: A. Is interested on behalf of or through the Proposer directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever in the execution or the performance of this Agreement, or in the services, supplies or work, to which this Agreement relates or in any portion of the revenues; or B. Is an employee, agent, advisor, or consultant to the Proposer or to the best of the Proposer’s knowledge, any subproposer or supplier to the Proposer. 585 33 Neither the Proposer nor any officer, director, employee, agent, parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of the Proposer shall have an interest which is in conflict with the Proposer’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that the City, in its sole discretion, may consent in writing to such a relationship, and provided the Proposer provides the City with a written notice, in advance, which identifies all the individuals and entities involved and sets forth in detail the nature of the relationship and why it is in the City's best interest to consent to such relationship. The provisions of this Article are supplemental to, not in lieu of, all applicable laws with respect to conflict of interest. In the event there is a difference between the standards applicable under this Agreement and those provided by statute, the stricter standard shall apply.

The parties agree that there are no commitments, agreements, or understandings concerning the subject matter of the Agreement that are not contained in the Agreement, and that the Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties as to all matters contained herein. Accordingly, it is agreed that no deviation from the terms hereof shall be predicated upon any prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written. It is further agreed that any oral representations or modifications concerning this Agreement shall be of no force or effect, and that the Agreement may be modified, altered or amended only by a written amendment duly executed by both parties hereto or their authorized representatives. The Proposer shall provide the services set forth in the Scope of Services, and render full and prompt cooperation with the City in all aspects of the services performed hereunder. The Proposer acknowledges that the Agreement requires the performance of all things necessary for or incidental to the effective and complete performance of all work and services under t his Contract.

AUTHORITY OF THE CITY’S PROJECT MANAGER The Proposer hereby acknowledges that the City’s Project Manager will determine in the first instance all questions of any nature whatsoever arising out of, under, or in connection with, or in any way related to or on account of, this Agreement including without limitations: questions as to the value, acceptability and fitness of the services; questions as to either party's fulfillment of its obligations under the Contract; negligence, fraud or misrepresentation before or subsequent to acceptance of the Bid/proposal; questions as to the interpretation of the Scope of Services; and claims for damages, compensation and losses. The Proposer shall be bound by all determinations or orders and shall promptly obey and follow every order of the Project Manager, including the withdrawal or modification of any previous order and regardless of whether the Proposer agrees with the Project Manager's determination or order. Where orders are given orally, they will be issued in writing by the Project Manager as soon thereafter as is practicable. The Proposer must, in the final instance, seek to resolve every difference concerning the Agreement with the Project Manager. In the event that the Project Manager and the Proposer are unable to resolve their difference, the Proposer may initiate a dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in the section below. Exhaustion of these procedures shall be a condition precedent to any lawsuit permitted hereunder. In the event of such dispute, the parties to this Agreement authorize the City Manager or designee, who may not be the Project Manager or anyone associated with this Project, acting personally, to decide all questions arising out of, under, or in connection with, or in any way related to or on account of the Agreement (including but not limited to claims in the nature of breach of contract, fraud or misrepresentation arising either before or subsequent to execution hereof) and the decision of each with respect to matters within the City Manager's purview as set forth above shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties. Any such dispute shall be brought, if at all, before the City Manager within 10 days of the occurrence, event or act out of which the dispute arises. The City Manager may base this decision on such assistance as may be desirable, including advice of experts, but in any event shall base the decision on an independent and objective determination of whether the Proposer’s performance or any deliverable meets the requirements of this Agreement and any specifications with respect thereto set forth herein. The effect of any 590 38 decision shall not be impaired or waived by any negotiations or settlements or offers made in connection with the dispute, whether or not the City Manager participated therein, or by any prior decision of others, which prior decision shall be deemed subject to review, or by any termination or cancellation of the Agreement. All such disputes shall be submitted in writing by t he Proposer to the City Manager for a decision, together with all pertinent information in regard to such questions, in order that a fair and impartial decision may be made. The parties agree that whenever the City Manager is entitled to exercise discretion or judgment or to make a determination or form an opinion pursuant to the provisions of this Article, such action shall be deemed fair and impartial when exercised or taken. The City Manager shall render a decision in writing and deliver a copy of the same to the Proposer. Except as such remedies may be limited or waived elsewhere in the Agreement, the Proposer reserves the right to pursue any remedies available under law after exhausting the provisions of this Article. 7.59. MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS This Agreement, including attachments and appendices to the Agreement, shall constitute the entire Agreement between the parties with respect hereto and supersedes all previous communications and representations or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof unless acknowledged in writing by the duly authorized representatives of both parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed for the benefit, intended or otherwise, of any third party that is not a parent or subsidiary of a party or otherwise related (by virtue of ownership control or statutory control) to a party. In those situations where this Agreement imposes an indemnity or defense obligation on the Proposer, the City may, at its expense, elect to participate in the defense if the City should so choose. Furthermore, the City may at its own expense defend or settle any such claims if the Proposer fails to diligently defend such claims, and thereafter seek indemnity for costs and attorney’s fees from the Proposer. 7.60. SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS If the Proposer will cause any part of this Agreement to be performed by a subproposer, the provisions of this Contract will apply to such subproposer and its officers, agents and employees in all respects as if it and they were employees of the Proposer; and the Proposer will not be in any manner thereby discharged from its obligations and liabilities hereunder, but will be liable hereunder for all acts and negligence of the subproposer, its officers, agents, and employees, as if they were employees of the Proposer. The services performed by the subproposer will be subject to the provisions hereof as if performed directly by the Proposer. The Proposer, before making any subcontract for any portion of the services, will state in writing to the City the name of the proposed subproposer, the portion of the services which the subproposer is to do, the place of business of such subproposer, and such other information as the City may require. The City will have the right to require the Proposer not to award any subcontract to a person, firm or corporation disapproved by the City. Before entering into any subcontract hereunder, the Proposer will inform the subproposer fully and completely of all provisions and requirements of this Agreement relating either directly or 591 39 indirectly to the services to be performed. Such services performed by such subproposer will strictly comply with the requirements of this Contract. In order to qualify as a subproposer satisfactory to the City, in addition to the other requirements herein provided, the subproposer must be prepared to prove to the satisfaction of the City that it has the necessary facilities, skill and experience, and ample financial resources to perform the services in a satisfactory manner. To be considered skilled and experienced, the subproposer must show to the satisfaction of the City that it has satisfactorily performed services of the same general type which are required to be performed under this Agreement. The City shall have the right to withdraw its consent to a subcontract if it appears to the City that the subcontract will delay, prevent, or otherwise impair the performance of the Proposer's obligations under this Agreement. All subproposers are required to protect the confidentiality of the City and City's proprietary and confidential information. The Proposer shall furnish to the City copies of all subcontracts between the Proposer and subproposers and suppliers hereunder. Within each such subcontract, there shall be a clause for the benefit of the City permitting the City to request completion of performance by the subproposer of its obligations under the subcontract, in the event the City finds the Proposer in breach of its obligations, and the option to pay the subproposer directly for the performance by such subproposer. The foregoing shall neither convey nor imply any obligation or liability on the part of the City to any subproposer hereunder as more fully described herein. 7.61. PROMPT PAYMENT: LATE PAYMENTS BY PROPOSER TO SUBPROPOSER AND MATERIAL SUPPLIERS; PENALTY: When a proposer receives from the City of Hollywood any payment for contractual services, commodities, materials, supplies, or construction contracts, the proposer shall pay such moneys received to each subproposer and material supplier in proportion to the percentage of work completed by each subproposer and material supplier at the time of receipt. If the proposer receives less than full payment, then the proposer shall be required to disburse only the funds received on a pro rata basis to the subproposers and materials Suppliers, each receiving a prorated portion based on the amount due on the payment. If the proposer without reasonable cause fails to make payments required by this section to subproposers and material suppliers within fifteen (15) working days after the receipt by the proposer of full or partial payment, the proposer shall pay to the subproposers and material suppliers a penalty in the amount of one percent (1%) of the amount due, per month, from the expiration of the period allowed herein for payment. Such penalty shall be in addition to actual payments owed. Retainage is also subject to the prompt payment requirement and must be returned to the subproposer or material supplier whose work has been completed, even if the prime contract has not been completed. The Proposer shall include the above obligation in each subcontract it signs with a subproposer or material suppler. 7.62. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE AND SUSPENSION OF WORK The City may terminate this Agreement if an individual or corporation or other entity attempts to meet its contractual obligation with the City through fraud, misrepresentation or material misstatement. 592 40 The City may, as a further sanction, terminate or cancel any other contract(s) that such individual or corporation or other entity has with the City. Such individual, corporation or other entity shall be responsible for all direct and indirect costs associated with such termination or cancellation, including attorney’s fees. The foregoing notwithstanding, any individual, corporation or other entity which attempts to meet its contractual obligations with the City through fraud, misrepresentation or material misstatement may be debarred from City contracting in accordance with the City debarment procedures. The Proposer may be subject to debarment for failure to perform and any other reasons related to the proposer’s breach or failure of satisfactory performance. In addition to cancellation or termination as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the City ma y at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without cause, terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Proposer and in such event: The Proposer shall, upon receipt of such notice, unless otherwise directed by the City: A.

Take no action which will increase the amounts payable by the City under this Agreement. In the event that the City exercises its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article, the Proposer will be compensated as stated in the payment articles herein, for the: A. Portion of the services completed in accordance with the Agreement up to the Effective Termination Date; and B. Non-cancelable deliverables that are not capable of use except in the performance of this Agreement and which have been specifically developed for the sole purpose of this Agreement but not incorporated in the services.

Until the City receives such assurances the City may request an adjustment to the compensation received by the Proposer for portions of the services which the Proposer has not performed. In the event that the Proposer fails to provide to the City the requested assurances within the prescribed time frame, the City may: A. Treat such failure as a repudiation of this Agreement; B. Resort to any remedy for breach provided herein or at law, including but not limited to, taking over the performance of the services or any part thereof either by itself or through others.

Approach and Methodology In 2019, Circuit and the City of Hollywood crafted one of the most advanced Neighborhood Electric Vehicle NEV shuttle services that had ever been deployed in Florida. Circuit is very pleased to provide our plan to the City of Hollywood in its endeavor for the next generation of transportation access in Hollywood. Circuit is eager to continue to operate the Hollywood Sun Shuttle as an active, engaged and embedded partner of the City and business communities. We are very excited to evolve the current Sun Shuttle service and match the needs of the RFP. We understand that the City wants to offer dynamic allocated routes and schedules to match consumer demand and support the upcoming fixed route community shuttle services. Over the last four years, Circuit and the City of Hollywood have worked in partnership to provide residents and visitors with a micro-transit mobility offering that is effective, sustainable, supports the local business community and provides a fun experience for riders. We look forward to the next iteration of transportation offerings in Hollywood, and hope that with our carefully crafted service operations plan, we will continue to work in partnership to support the City's transportation goals for its residents and visitors. The team at Circuit is incredibly proud of the work it’s accomplished with the City of Hollywood over the past 4 years.“Sun Shuttle Exceeds City’s Expectations” Hollywood Gazette) was in the headline of an article a few months after the service started and the service, team and technologies have continued to improve ever since. Not only is the Sun Shuttle exceeding the City’s expectations, together we’ve crafted a service that is exceeding the performance of nearly every other On-Demand service in the country. Since starting, other new vendors have come about and new technologies have been introduced, but when comparing ridership, ridership per vehicle hour, rider feedback and the cost per rider, there are few, if any services, run by other operators that have been able to achieve the demand and performance that we have in Hollywood. We’re committed to the City and committed to improving the Sun Shuttle for years to come. B1.1 Service Planning, Research and Analysis We've spoken with our Managers, Supervisors and Driver Ambassadors, surveyed riders, analyzed our historical data, and are confident that we can continue to deliver, and improve upon, a successful mobility option for the residents, visitors and community members of the City of Hollywood as we have since 2019. With 12 years, 190 vehicles, 9 states and 24 cities of operations, Circuit brings its national experience and network to the benefit of each City it works with. Our roots are in South Florida and specifically Broward and Palm Beach counties, where we have operated since 2011. Based on RFP Exhibits A and B, and the desire to operate three separate micro-transit zones, we have designed a service that is supportive of the City's goals, will continue to partner with the business community, is user friendly for the residents and visitors and complementary to the City's upcoming fixed-route community shuttles. City of Hollywood RFP 045 23 SK for Citywide micro-transit Services Page 7 of 123 611 B1.1.1 Existing Services in Hollywood and South Florida Since 2019, the City of Hollywood has partnered with Circuit to provide a 100% electric micro-transit solution for residents and visitors. For just $2 per rider, the Circuit-operated Hollywood Sun Shuttle takes riders anywhere within the coverage area zone through our on-demand app or by waving down a driver. Hollywood has been a model city in the region and the services have been highly utilized and immensely popular among riders in the community.

If selected for the RFP we hope to leverage the information from this pilot to better inform the structure of future MTZ Zone 3 services. B1.1.2 Local Research, Current Hollywood Sun Shuttle, and Discovery After reviewing the details of the RFP, we immediately began our planning and analysis process. Fortunately, with four years of operating experience in Hollywood, FL, we were able to leverage feedback from our existing riders, driver ambassadors and the local business community, our review of the RFP and the Counties transportation systems, and use historical data from our Circuit on-demand rider and driver applications as well as our growing and evolving data reporting dashboard, to inform what we believe are the best options for the community within the parameters of the RFP. What We’ve Learned from Our Riders, Drivers and the Local Business Community City of Hollywood RFP 045 23 SK for Citywide micro-transit Services Page 10 of 123 614 In evaluating this opportunity, we started with the community. We hit the streets, spoke with Driver Ambassadors, rode along with our riders, and reviewed rider feedback from our application and our rider surveys: Feedback from our drivers ●We are the “tour guides” for the city! Our Driver Ambassadors know Hollywood, and we help bring people back to Hollywood. The resorts, hotels, businesses, all rely on us to help drive business. ●Residents would like us to expand to additional areas, including areas further West. ●More Circuit cars on the road- leading to faster pick up times and less delays! ●There are four major categories of people who use this service. ○Senior population 65 relies on Circuit to get to the grocery store, post office, pharmacy. Some do not have cars and are on fixed incomes. They need Circuit more than ever, we have developed trust with many Hollywood seniors, and they’ve come to rely on the service. For some, it is a necessity for them. ○Tourists and visitors often say “I wish I had this in our city! Many report to us that they love using the service; knowing Circuit is there gives visitors a peace of mind, that is why they love coming back to Hollywood and exploring the Downtown area. ○Residents and commuters who use Circuit to get to work every day. ○Local residents use us to get to the beach and businesses downtown as a hassle and drive-free option.

I take it to/from my home to downtown and the restaurants at the Boardwalk, all while helping the environment- no gas! I love it!” ●“Circuit is a blessing for me. I don’t have a car and I’m handicapped, so I’m limited in my ability to walk distances. Circuit allows me to go grocery shopping, run errands, and even go to the beach.

Thank you.” Feedback from local business community ●“Circuit is a great addition to the community helping locals and tourists safely move around the city in an eco friendly manner.
