Summary Explanation/Background
THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
This action will approve a Second Amendment to the Agreement between Broward County and Yellow Airport Limousine Service, a joint venture d/b/a GO Airport Shuttle & Executive Car Services, for Shared Ride Services at FLL.
Broward County (“County”) and Yellow Airport Limousine Service, a joint venture d/b/a GO Airport Shuttle & Executive Car Services (“GO Shuttle”) entered into an Agreement for Shared Ride and Limousine Concession Services (“Agreement”) at FLL effective on December 4, 2018. The term of the Agreement commenced on January 1, 2019 and will end three years thereafter, unless extended or otherwise terminated as provide in the Agreement. The County has the option extend the Agreement for two successive one-year terms.
On February 25, 2020, (Item No. 4), the Board approved the First Amendment to the Agreement to approve the reduction of required insurance limits from $1,000,000 for each occurrence to $500,000 for each occurrence for nine person passenger vans and $125,000/$250,000/$50,000 for sedans.
GO Shuttle requested that the contractual requirement to maintain a minimum A.M. Best Company Rating of “A-“ and a minimum Financial Size Category of “VII” be removed and replaced with a requirement that the insurer providing automobile coverage be a participant in the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (“FIGA”). The removal of the rating requirement and the addition of the requirement that the insurer participate in FIGA is consistent with the insurance requirements established in Section 22½-9C of the Broward County Code of Ordinances for motor carriers. GO Shuttle requested the amendment because GO Shuttle’s new insurance company has not been in business long enough to be rated; however, the insurance company is certified to do business in the state of Florida and is a member of the FIGA. The modified insurance requirements are within the authority given through Section 2-51 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances. The Broward County Aviation Department and the County’s Risk Management Division have approved these changes.
Additional language in the proposed Second Amendment also adds Verification of Employment Eligibility and requires Contractor and each Subcontractor to register with and use the E-Verify system maintained by the United States Department of Homeland Security to verify the work authorization status of all newly hired employees in compliance with the requirements of Section 448.095.
The proposed Second Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the County Attorney’s Office.
