(5) [[Sanctions for contractual violations]]>>Enforcement<<
* * *
v. The foregoing notwithstanding, the County Manager shall include language in all prospective contracts containing a CSBE measure which provides that, in addition to any other sanction for failure to fulfill the CSBE measure requirements, the contractor's eligibility to receive any future county contracts may be conditioned upon the contractor making up the deficit in CSBE participation in such future contracts by having CSBE(s) perform equal to double the dollar value of the deficiency in the CSBE measure in the prior contract. >>Contract language shall provide that in order to be eligible for future county contracts, a contractor who fails to meet an established CSBE goal shall submit a CSBE Make-up Plan for the approval of the Director. A Make-up Plan and a corresponding Schedule of Intent Affidavit must be submitted as part of any bid or proposal submitted for future contracts at the time of bid or proposal submittal. The Schedule of Intent Affidavit must identify all CSBEs to be utilized to meet the first tier subcontractor goal and the trade designation of work each firm will perform in satisfaction of a make-up, in addition to any other goals that may be applicable. Failure to include the required Schedule of Intent Affidavit with bids or proposals for any future contracts shall result in the submittal being deemed nonresponsive. Any contractor subject to an approved Make-up Plan that fails to comply with any of the material terms of that Make-up plan, without good cause, shall be subject to an automatic suspension from bidding and/or otherwise participating on County contracts as a prime or subcontractor for a six (6) month period. A contractor that fails to comply with any of the material terms of a second Make-up plan, without good cause, shall be subject to an automatic suspension from bidding and/or otherwise participating on County contracts as a prime or subcontractor for a one (1) year period. A contractor that fails to comply with any of the material terms of a third Make-up plan, without good cause, may be subject to debarment and shall automatically be referred to the debarment committee. After serving a debarment for failure to satisfy a make-up plan for no good cause, the subject firm shall be deemed ineligible for bidding on county contracts with measures for 1 additional year unless the County Manager determines that an emergency exists justifying such participation, and the Board of County Commissioners approves such decision.<< The foregoing obligation shall be in addition to any CSBE measure otherwise applicable to the future contract.

Section 2. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or provision of this ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity.

It is the intention of the Board of County Commissioners, and it is hereby ordained that the provisions of this ordinance, including any sunset provision, shall become and be made a part of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The sections of this ordinance may be renumbered or relettered to accomplish such intention, and the word "ordinance" may be changed to "section," "article," or other appropriate word.
Section 4. This ordinance shall become effective ten (10) days after the date of enactment unless vetoed by the Mayor, and if vetoed, shall become effective only upon an override by this Board.
