TERM AND RENEWAL

A.

Term
This Agreement shall begin on the 15t day of July, 2011, or the date on which this Master
Agreement is signed by both parties, whichever is later, and shall end at midnight on the
30th day of June, 2012.

B.

II. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
The purpose of this Agreement is for FDC to provide inmate labor on FDC supervised work
crews to perform regularly scheduled specific maintenance activities as directed by the DOT;
to provide inmates who are assigned and working under the supervision of DOT
("Supplemental Support Labor") working in and around DOT facilities, as Supplemental
Support Labor within DOT crews on a ratio no greater than two inmates to one DOT
employee (Two-to-One Ratio), except during lunch and non-work periods, or as otherwise
provided herein. Other Personnel Services ("OPS") as provided by persons employed by
DOT and/or contract labor, as well as DOT employees, may be used to meet the Two-to-One
Ratio requirement. The Two-to-One Ratio may be exceeded in unusual circumstances if
approved on a daily basis by the DOT Unit Maintenance Engineer. Examples of unusual
circumstances would include an emergency situation or the temporary unavailability of DOT
personnel to make the Two-to-One Ratio. The Two-to-One Ratio shall not be exceeded on a
continuing routine basis. A ratio greater than four inmates to one DOT employee shall not be
exceeded at any time. Any DOT employees' concerns with working with greater than a
Two-to-One Ratio should be handled by DOT on a case-by-case basis.
Ill. SCOPE OF WORK

A. Responsibilities of DOT
1. Supplemental Support Labor.
DOT shall regularly schedule work for all
minimum/community custody inmates provided by FDC pursuant to a local agreement
between DOT and FDC (the "Local Agreement"). Specific activities, quantities and
locations shall be identified through the Local Agreement(s), the form of which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Addendum "A". DOT shall compensate FDC
at the production wage rate as set forth in Addendum "B" attached hereto and
incorporated herein. The wage rate shall be per inmate hour for the number of inmates
agreed upon by the Local Agreement, when that number is made available, per day,
whether used or not as Supplemental Support Labor. If DOT requests and uses additional
inmates as Supplemental Support Labor in excess of the number of inmates specified in
the Local Agreement, DOT will compensate FDC for the additional number of inmates
used.

2

For example, if a lesser number of inmates are provided, compensation shall be for the
number of inmates provided. If, at DOT's request the total number of minimum
/community custody inmates provided daily exceeds the number established in the Local
Agreement, compensation shall be for the contracted number plus any excess inmates
used.
DOT will provide FOC at least 24 hours notice in the event that DOT requires
Supplemental Support Inmates to perform routine or non-emergency work during other
than normal work hours (e.g., evenings and/or nighttime). DOT will pick the inmates
up from and return the inmates to the institution.
2. FOC Supervised Crews. DOT, in cooperation with FOC, shall identify and regularly
schedule specific maintenance activities to be performed by inmates under the
supervision of FOC supervisors. These activities shall be identified in the Local
Agreement. The Local Agreement will include the units and DOT labor unit costs and
specific activities, quantities and locations shall be identified.
DOT shall compensate FOC for each unit of work satisfactorily completed at the cost per
unit specified in Addendum B. Those activities completed by FOC supervised crews not
shown on Addendum B shall be compensated at the production wage rate as per
Addendum B of this Agreement per inmate hour, not including the FOC officer, for manhour activities. These costs will be based on the 2010-11 DOT engineered activity unit
costs ("DOT Engineered Activity Unit Costs"). All material, equipment and overhead
costs will be subtracted from the DOT Engineered Unit Cost, with the remaining cost to
reflect labor only. All costs represent compensation for performance of 100% of the
named activity.
Additional compensation will be considered by DOT in cases of extended, unforeseen
emergency projects that result in overtime for correctional officers supervising inmate
labor. When a FOC officer works on a DOT job site more than 40 hours in a workweek,
the officer's overtime will be compensated at the 991 activity emergency maintenance
rate per hour from Addendum "B" of this Agreement. This compensation for the FOC
officer's overtime is in addition to the compensation for the work performed by the FOC
inmate work crew. The DOT area maintenance engineer must approve any overtime that
will be paid by DOT concerning FOe.
3. DOT Supervision of Inmates Assigned as Supplemental Support Labor. DOT shall
provide supervision of inmates in accordance with FOC rules and regulations. DOT
employees will supervise inmates assigned as Supplemental Support Labor on a Two-toOne Ratio basis or as provided for in Section 11., Purpose of Agreement. In accordance
with Rule 33-601.202 (6), Florida Administrative Code, prior to supervising inmates,
each DOT employee who is to supervise inmates shall have a criminal history record
check completed by FOC, be approved by the FOC to supervise inmates, and
successfully complete training in supervising inmates provided by FOC.
4. DOT Support for FOe. DOT shall provide for and support FOC
requirements of this Agreement as follows:

performing the

a. DOT shall provide all tools, equipment, materials and personal items such as gloves,
rubber boots, hard hats, rain gear, etc., as is necessary, appropriate, or required to
perform the work and provide for the storage of such items.
b. DOT shall provide FDC supervisors and Supplemental Support Labor with technical
assistance and verbal and/or written instructions pertaining to the work methods,
work zone traffic control, reporting of production and use of equipment/tools as
required or necessary to perform the assigned tasks. Further, DOT:
(l) will require FDC supervised crews to operate tools/equipment such as crew cab
trucks, concrete mixers, wood chippers, small forklifts, small front end loaders,
weed eaters, curb edgers, chainsaws, tractors, etc., when the operation of such
equipment is a routine part of the assigned activity;
(2) will provide formal training for FDC supervisors in a manner consistent with the
practices used to formally train DOT employees. As a standard practice, DOT
will not provide formal training to inmates assigned to FDC crews. For FDC
supervisors that do not have experience in the utilization of assigned tools and
equipment or proper work methods, DOT will provide direction, to include verbal
and written instructions necessary for the officer to be assessed competent by
DOT in the utilization of assigned tools and equipment or proper work methods;
and,
(3) will verify competency of the FDC officer in the same manner used to verify
competency of a DOT employee. An inmate whose competency is verified by
the FOC supervisor is allowed to operate off-road equipment.
c. DOT may require FDC supervisors, FDC crews, and Supplemental Support Labor to
attend DOT safety meetings. Compensation shall be at the hourly rate for inmates.
FDC will be given a list containing the names of officers and/or inmates attending
safety classes or formal training within five (5) days of completion date.
d. DOT will require FDC supervisors to satisfactorily complete the appropriate
Maintenance of Traffic ("MOT") course as defined in DOT procedure 625-010-01 O-g
prior to performing any work on the State Highway System for which the FDC
supervisor is responsible for installation and/or maintenance of Traffic Control
Devices. FOC can access the Web Site
http://www.dot.state.fl.us/rddesign/MOT/MOT.shtm for the list of course providers
for the required MOT training. If the web site URL changes, DOT will immediately
notify FOC of the new web site. FDC supervisors, including alternates or existing
officers that have been reassigned duties, will complete the training within the first
sixty (60) days of the FDC supervisor's assignment to supervise an FOC crew that
requires traffic control setup. For newly established FDC supervised crews or when
an FOC supervisor is replaced, the crew will be assigned work that does not require
an MOT setup until the required course is completed by the new FDC supervisor.
Inmates are often assigned flagging duties. After the FOC supervisor has completed
the appropriate MOT Training course, it is the responsibility of the FDC supervisor to
train inmates in proper flagging techniques.

4

FOC officers will be required to meet the new Training Category course requirements
as defined in DOT procedure 625-010-010-g, Maintenance of Traffic. Those training
requirements will go into effect on the approval date of this Agreement.
e.

DOT shall disseminate information and make training opportunities available to FOC
officers who are required to hold a valid Commercial Driver's License as specified by
Florida Statutes.

f.

DOT shall provide vehicles for transporting inmates between FOC facilities and DOT
work centers and also to and from individual work sites. FOC shall provide the

responsibility of DOT. All DOT vehicles used for transporting inmates shall be
equipped with a two-way communication radio with adequate range to communicate
directly with FOC or DOT personnel. All DOT vehicles used for transporting
inmates shall meet DOT safety standards. DOT shall promptly make repairs to meet
such standards.

g. DOT shall make all new DOT inmate supervisors available for thirty-two (32) hours
of orientation and training, provided by FOC, prior to assuming supervision of
inmates. All other DOT inmate supervisors that have previously completed this
training shall be made available for eight (8) hours of refresher training, provided by
FOC, during the 2011-12 Fiscal Year.
h. DOT shall notify FOC immediately in the case of an escape or misconduct by an
inmate, or when inmates fail to perform assigned tasks in a satisfactory manner.
DOT shall have the right to refuse any such inmate for use in subsequent work
assignments. All such action shall be followed up by providing written notification
to FOC from the Maintenance Engineer or designee.
I.

DOT may train its employees to administer first aid and will provide first aid
assistance to the extent of their training. DOT will provide first aid to FOC inmates
on the same basis as that provided to DOT employees and will promptly transport an
injured inmate to a doctor or hospital should such care be needed. DOT supervisors
shall immediately report all inmate injuries to FOC, regardless of severity. Medical
related complaints made by inmates to DOT shall be reported to FOC as soon as
possible.

J.

DOT shall provide notification in writing to FOC, when appropriate, when an FOC
supervisor fails to follow DOT rules, regulations, policies, and procedures pertaining
to the performance and production rate of assigned work.

k. DOT agrees to pay FDC for services described herein at a rate of compensation as
detailed in Addendum B. Payment shall be made only after receipt and approval of
goods and services as provided in Section 215.422, Florida Statutes.
5. Legislative Appropriation. So long as there is legislative appropriation for DOT to use
inmate labor as provided in Section 339.08(2) Florida Statutes, DOT will maintain or

expand usage of inmate labor so that FOC will receive any appropriation dollars for
inmate labor as provided by the Legislature.
6. Use of FDC Crews. It is understood that FOC is performing work under contract with
DOT. DOT is expanding its use of asset maintenance contractors to manage and operate
its transportation system. DOT and FOC agree to utilize FOC crews as has been done
historically. DOT's contractual administrative responsibilities may be performed by an
asset maintenance contractor. This Agreement and its incumbent responsibilities are
directly between DOT and FOC, and DOT will continue to make payment directly to
FOC for work performed under this Agreement.

B. FOC's Responsibilities

CFR Part 382, et.a\.
C. FDC and DOT mutually agree as follows:
1. FDC and DOT will abide by the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of each
agency as they pertain to the performance of assigned work and the supervision of
assigned inmates under this Agreement.
2. DOT personnel, FDC supervisors, and inmates, shall be available on a 24-hour basis in
the event of emergencies. Upon notification, FDC shall be expected to respond to
emergencies within a reasonable period of time.
3. Changes in normal working hours as established by Local Agreement for FDC
supervisors must be approved by FDC and, as appropriate, the Department of
Management Services prior to making a change in the work schedule. Upon two weeks'
notice and approval of FDC and the Department of Management Services, the schedule
of work hours may be changed to accommodate the needs of DOT.
4. FDC and DOT shall designate a local supervisory employee from each FDC and DOT
facility that is the subject of the Local Agreement. The designated local supervisory FDC

8

and OOT employees will be responsible for coordinating the daily operation of the
inmates under OOT supervision (e.g., for FOC - the institution work squad
monitor/supervisor and for OOT - the OOT employee assigned to coordinate the Local
Agreement).
5. OOT and FOC agree that the primary duty and responsibility of the FOC supervisor is to
supervise assigned inmates in a manner consistent with FOC's responsibility to maintain
security and protect the public. With the exception of crew cab trucks or other vehicles
utilized to transport the work crew(s), tools and equipment routinely required for the
assigned work activity will be operated by inmates assigned to the work crew. FOC
Supervisors may operate tools and equipment routinely required for the assigned work
activity when there is no inmate on the crew with the competency required and the FOC
supervisor for the work crew determines that his/her operation of the tools and equipment
will not adversely affect his/her primary duties and responsibilities. In any event, an
FOC supervisor's performance in this capacity shall be limited to no greater than five (5)
percent of the FOC supervisor's time. When there is no inmate on the crew with the
competency to operate the required tools and equipment and the FOC supervisor
determines his/her primary responsibilities would be compromised if he/she operated the
equipment, DOT will do one of the following: 1) assign the work crew to another work
activity, if available; or 2) assign a DOT employee, if available, to assist the crew. If a
DOT employee assists the crew, compensation to FOC will be reduced as provided for in
Section III, Item A, 2. If Option 1 or 2 cannot be accomplished, then as a last resort,
DOT will advise FOC that the crew's workday is finished. DOT and FOC will make
every effort to amicably resolve the situation to prevent further interruptions to the work
effort. FOC will expedite the identification of an inmate(s) with the necessary
competency (ies) for assignment to the crew(s).
6. The estimated cost and total allocations reflected in Addendum "B" and "C" shall not
necessarily be construed as a guaranteed payment, nor shall the payment to FOC be
limited to this amount. Total payment shall be based on the actual amount of work
completed and accepted by DOT at the agreed contract unit prices reflected in the Local
Agreement and Addendum "B".
7. OOT shall pay FOC for work completed and accepted. All monthly payments shall be
made by the 15th of the month following the month in which the work was actually
completed and accepted. The total combined payments from OOT to FOC for the fiscal
year shall not exceed the amount earned by FOC during the fiscal year, based on units of
work satisfactorily completed at the established unit prices.
8. FOC and OOT shall:
(a) Prepare individual Local Agreements specifying schedules, activities, quantities and
locations for each FOC facility providing inmate labor to a DOT District.
(b) Establish a total cost for each Local Agreement which is reflective of the work that
FOC can reasonably expect to accomplish based on the FOC supervised crew(s)
and/or supplemental support inmates identified in the Local Agreement.
(c) The Local Agreement shall be signed by the FOC facility Warden and the OOT Unit
Maintenance Engineer.
(d) All Local Agreements shall be attached to and become a part of this Agreement. The
Individual Local Agreements may add to and/or expand upon the provisions
9

contained in this Agreement, but shall not modify the intent or contradict the terms of
the provisions contained herein.
(e) Copies of all Local Agreements shall be submitted to the FDC Bureau of Institutional
Support Services, appropriate FDC Regional Office, the DOT District Maintenance
Office, and the DOT Office of Maintenance upon approval by all parties.
9. To maximize the time available for FDC supervised crews to perform their assignments
each regularly scheduled work day, DOT, in coordination with FDC, will plan and
schedule the work of FDC supervised crews to minimize the need for crews to report to
the maintenance yard at the beginning and end of the workday. Work schedules should
be planned in advance and radio communication utilized to coordinate changes in
schedules.
10. Every month, DOT shall prepare a combined summary of the Maintenance Contracts
Payment Submittal that reflects in detail the services received for each FDC facility
providing inmate labor. DOT shall provide the summary of Maintenance Contracts
Payment Submittal to the FDC facility by the 10th of the month following the month in
which the work was performed. FOC will review and verify the accuracy of the
Maintenance Contract Payment Submittal, retain a copy for their records, and return a
copy to DOT.
11. This Agreement, together with Addendum "A", "B", and "c" constitutes the complete
understanding between the DOT and the FOC for the utilization of inmates by DOT, and
supersedes all prior agreements.
12. Bills for fees or other compensation for services or expenses shall be submitted in
sufficient detail for a proper pre-audit and post-audit and bills for travel expenses
specifically authorized by this Agreement shall be submitted and paid in accordance with
the rates specified in Section 112.061, Florida Statutes.
13. DOT and FOC may unilaterally cancel this Agreement in whole or in part, upon one
hundred twenty (120) days written notice, at any time the interest of the respective
agency requires such termination or if an agency were to refuse to allow public access to
documents, papers, letters or other materials subject to the provisions of Chapter 119,
Florida Statutes, and made or received by the agency in conjunction with the Agreement.
14. Any dispute regarding performance under this Agreement shall be resolved informally at
the local level. If the dispute that cannot be resolved informally, DOT and FDC shall
resolve the matter using the following dispute resolution process: (For dispute resolution
regarding tools and equipment see Section III. Item 8. (a-d))
(a) The first level of review will be the FOC Work Squad Monitor/Supervisor and the
DOT employee assigned as coordinator for the Local Agreement and/or his or her
designee.
(b) The second level of review will be the FOC Warden or Assistant Warden and the
DOT Maintenance Engineer and/or his or her designee.
(c) The third level of review will be the FDC Regional Director and the DOT District
Maintenance Engineer and/or his or her designee.
(d) The fourth and final level of review will be the FDC Office of Institutions and the
DOT State Maintenance Office.

10

15. Modifications to this Agreement shall be valid only through execution of a formal
Agreement amendment.
16. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that if any part, term, or provision of this
Agreement is by the courts held to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the State of
Florida, the validity of the remaining portions or provisions shall not be affected, and the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if the Agreement
did not contain the particular part, term, or provision held to be invalid.
17. Any questions or matters arising under this Agreement as to validity, construction,
enforcement, performance, or otherwise, shall be determined in accordance with the laws
of the State of Florida.
