Recipient's Confidential and Exempt Information
By executing this agreement, the Recipient acknowledges that, having been provided an opportunity to
review all provisions hereof, all provisions of this agreement not specifically identified in writing by the
Recipient prior to execution hereof as "confidential" or "exempt" will be posted by the Department on the
public website maintained by the Department of Financial Services pursuant to section 215.985, F.S. The
Recipient agrees that, upon written request of the Department, it shall promptly provide to the Department
a written statement of the basis for the exemption applicable to each provision identified by the Recipient
as "confidential" or "exempt", including the statutory citation to an exemption created or afforded by statute,
and state with particularity the reasons for the conclusion that the provision is exempt or confidential.
Any claim by Recipient of trade secret (proprietary) confidentiality for any information contained in
Recipient's documents (reports, deliverables or work papers, etc., in paper or electronic form) submitted to
the Department in connection with this Agreement cannot be waived, unless the claimed confidential
information is submitted in accordance with the following two paragraphs:
The Recipient must clearly label any portion of the documents, data, or records submitted that it
considers exempt from public inspection or disclosure pursuant to Florida's Public Records Law as
trade secret. The labeling will include a justification citing specific statutes and facts that authorize
exemption of the information from public disclosure. If different exemptions are claimed to be
applicable to different portions of the protected information, the Recipient shall include information
correlating the nature of the claims to the particular protected information.
The Department, when required to comply with a public records request including documents
submitted by the Recipient, may require the Recipient to expeditiously submit redacted copies of
documents marked as trade secret in accordance with this section. Accompanying the submission
shall be an updated version of the justification, correlated specifically to redacted information, either
confirming that the statutory and factual basis originally asserted remain unchanged or indicating
any changes affecting the basis for the asserted exemption from public inspection or disclosure.
The redacted copy must exclude or obliterate only those exact portions that are claimed to be trade
secret. If the Recipient fails to promptly submit a redacted copy, the Department is authorized to
produce the records sought without any redaction of proprietary or trade secret information.
Termination
The Department reserves the right to unilaterally cancel this agreement for refusal by the Recipient to allow
public access to all documents, papers, letters or other material subject to the provisions of Chapter 119,
Florida Statutes, and made or received by the Recipient in conjunction with this agreement, unless the
records are exempt pursuant to Article I. Section 24(a), of the Florida Constitution and section 119.07(1),
F.S.
In the event funds for payment pursuant to this agreement become unavailable, the Department may
terminate this agreement with twenty-four (24) hour written notice in writing to the Recipient. The
Department shall be the final authority as to the appropriation, availability and adequacy of funds.
Page 8 of 12
Agreement #:
CSFA #: 71.010
In the event the Recipient fails to fully comply with the terms and conditions of this agreement, the
Department may terminate the Agreement upon written notice. Such notice may be issued without providing
an opportunity for cure if it specifies the nature of the noncompliance and states that provision for cure
would adversely affect the interests of the State or is not permitted by law or regulation. Otherwise, notice
of termination will be issued after the Recipient's failure to fully cure such noncompliance within the time
specified in a written notice of noncompliance issued by the Department specifying the nature of the
noncompliance and the actions required to cure such noncompliance. In addition, the Department may
employ the default provisions in Rule 60A-1.006(3), F.A.C., but is not required to do so in order to terminate
the agreement. The Department's failure to demand performance of any provision of this agreement shall
not be deemed a waiver of such performance. The Department's waiver of any one breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach and neither event shall be
construed to be a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The provisions herein do not
limit the Department's right to remedies at law or in equity.
The validity of this agreement is subject to the truth and accuracy of all the information, representations,
and materials submitted or provided by the Recipient in this agreement, in any subsequent submission or
response to Department request, or in any submission or response to fulfill the requirements of this
agreement, and such information, representations, and materials are incorporated by reference. The lack
of accuracy thereof or any material changes shall, at the option of the Department and with thirty (30) days
written notice to the Recipient, cause the termination of this agreement and the release of the Department
from all its obligations to the Recipient.
This agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of Florida, and venue for any actions arising
out of this agreement shall lie in Leon County. If any provision hereof is in conflict with any applicable
statute or rule, or is otherwise unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed null and void to the
extent of such conflict, and shall be deemed severable, but shall not invalidate any other provision of this
agreement.
No waiver by the Department of any right or remedy granted hereunder or failure to insist on strict
performance by the Recipient shall affect or extend or act as a waiver of any other right or remedy of the
Department hereunder, or affect the subsequent exercise of the same right or remedy by the Department
for any further or subsequent default by the Recipient. Any power of approval or disapproval granted to the
Department under the terms of this agreement shall survive the terms and life of this agreement as a whole.
The agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of which may be taken as an
original. In the event of termination, the Recipient will be compensated for any work satisfactorily completed
through the date of termination or an earlier date of suspension of work.
E -Verify
The Department shall consider the employment by any Contractor of unauthorized aliens a violation of
section 274(e) of the Immigration and Nationalization Act. Such violation shall be cause for unilateral
cancellation of this Contract.
Pursuant to F.S. 448.095, the Contracting Party and any subcontractors are required to register with and
use the E -Verify system operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security beginning on January 1,
2021. The Contracting Party and any subcontractors are prohibited from entering into contracts with one
another unless all parties register and use the E -Verify system. Subcontractors who enter into contracts
with the Contracting Party are required to provide a certification that the subcontractor does not employ or
use unauthorized aliens as defined in the statute, a copy of which the Contracting Party must maintain.
The Contracting Party and any subcontractors are required to terminate a contract if a party has a good
faith belief that another party is in violation of F.S. 448.09(1), prohibiting the employment of unauthorized
aliens. If a public employer has a good faith belief that the subcontractor has violated these requirements,
but that the Contracting Party has otherwise complied, the public employer must notify the Contracting
Party to terminate its contract with the subcontractor. A party may challenge a contract termination in
Page 9 of 12
