Contractor agrees to furnish an updated CBE Utilization Report
(Exhibit J-3) to the Contract Administrator with each invoice for
payment or upon request of the Contract Administrator or the
Broward County Small Business Development Division, showing
all expenditures made to achieve compliance with its assigned
goals or other contractual conditions agreed to by Contractor
pursuant to the County Business Enterprise Act of 2009. All
reports shall include the name, business address, description of
the Services performed, or product supplied by each CBE; the
date and amount of each expenditure; verification of the CBE
status of any contractor performing any portion of this System
Agreement; and any other information requested by County
which may assist County in determining the Contractor’s
compliance with its contractual obligations, or may assist in the
implementation and enforcement of the County Business
Enterprise Act of 2009.
(b) The Final CBE Utilization Report (Exhibit J-4) must be submitted
with the final invoice for payment (in lieu of Exhibit J-3), listing
only those subcontractors certified as CBE's, to show
expenditures made to date to achieve compliance with the
assigned CBE goal. The submission of the reports required by
this subparagraph shall be a condition of payment to Contractor.
17.2.7 In the event of Contractor’s noncompliance with its participation
commitment to a CBE (including without limitation the unexcused
reduction of CBE participation), the affected CBE shall have the right
to exercise the following remedies if the noncompliance is or was due
to no fault of the CBE, and due to the willful action or omission of
Contractor:
(a) The affected CBE shall be entitled to damages pursuant to its
agreement with Contractor.
(b) If a subcontractor, material supplier, or other similarly-situated
person institutes an arbitration proceeding claiming non-
compliance with the County Business Enterprise Act of 2009 by
Contractor, then only in such event shall the remedies include an
undertaking by Contractor to submit any dispute concerning such
damages to binding arbitration by an independent arbitrator.
However, binding arbitration shall not be available as to any
dispute between Contractor and County; nor shall County incur
any cost, fee, or liability relative to any arbitration proceedings.
An arbitrator may award reasonable attorney's fees and costs
against a non-prevailing party.
