RESOLUTION NO. 2023- A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE OF PINECREST, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH REDSPEED FOR SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS IN DESIGNATED SCHOOL ZONES; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF PINECREST, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That the Village Council hereby authorizes the Village Manager to enter into an agreement with RedSpeed for speed enforcement cameras in designated school zones. Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of July, 2023. Joseph M. Corradino, Mayor Attest: ____________________________ Priscilla Torres, MMC Village Clerk Approved as to Form and Legal Sufficiency: ____________________________ Mitchell Bierman Village Attorney Consent Agenda DATE: July 10, 2023 TO: Yocelyn Galiano, ICMA-CM, Village Manager FROM: Chief Jason Cohen RE: Speed Enforcement Cameras in School Zones I am recommending that we enter into a contract with RedSpeed for speed enforcement cameras in designated school zones. The program is similar to our red-light camera program in that it allows for speed enforcement in schools zones utilizing specific speed monitoring camera equipment. RedSpeed is the recommended vendor because they offer LPR services utilizing the same camera hardware at no expense to the Village. In addition to speed enforcement this program will add 11 additional LPR cameras around all 4 public schools as well as Gulliver and Beth Am. Attached is the proposed service agreement with RedSpeed. The agreement has been reviewed and approved by Weiss Serota. The local ordinance will be presented for first reading during the September Village Council meeting. pg. 1 of 17 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT August 1, 2023 This AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made this 1st Day of August, 2023, (herein the “Commencement Date”), between RedSpeed Florida, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company (herein “REDSPEED”), with its principal place of business at 400 Eisenhower Lane North, Lombard, IL 60148, and Village of Pinecrest, a political subdivision authorized and created by the State of Florida (herein “GOVERNING BODY”), with principal offices at 12645 Pinecrest Pkwy, Pinecrest, FL 33156. . WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, REDSPEED has the exclusive knowledge, possession, and ownership of certain equipment, licenses, and processes referred to collectively as the “Speed Photo Enforcement System” (herein “SPE System”); and WHEREAS, GOVERNING BODY desires to use the SPE System to monitor and enforce school zone speed, and may, in the future, desire to monitor and enforce red light violations or other traffic movements and to issue citations for traffic violations; and WHEREAS, on or about June 1 2023, the Governor of the State of Florida signed HB 657 into law, resulting in Laws of Florida 2023-174; and WHEREAS, the Laws of Florida 2023-174 expressly authorizes municipalities to use traffic infraction detectors to enforce certain provisions of Chapter 316 of the Florida Statutes; and WHEREAS, prior to initiating a camera program the GOVERNING BODY’s Village Council has adopted or will adopt an ordinance, which authorizes GOVERNING BODY’s Traffic Safety Camera Program (“TSCP”) and provides for the implementation and operation of such program by REDSPEED, as agent of GOVERNING BODY.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, REDSPEED and GOVERNING BODY agree that the Agreement shall be as provided herein: TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1.

The term of this Agreement shall be for sixty (60) months beginning on the first day of the month following the first issued Notice of Violation (the “Start Date”) of the last camera installed and shall be automatically extended for five (5) additional one (1) year periods. However, GOVERNING BODY may terminate this Agreement at the expiration of any term by providing written notice of its intent not to extend the Agreement sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the current term. REDSPEED’s services may be terminated: a. By mutual written consent of the parties. b. For cause, by either party where the other party fails in any material way to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the defaulting party fails to cure the default within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice. The terminating party must provide written notice to the other party of its intent to terminate and state with reasonable specificity the grounds for termination. c. For convenience, by either party in the event that state legislation or a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction prohibits the deployment of the SPE Systems that is the subject of this Agreement, but only following the exhaustion of any legal challenges that may occur challenging such state legislation or judicial determination. To the extent it becomes necessary, the Parties to this Agreement acknowledge that this agreement shall be tolled during the time it takes to determine legal challenges. d. For convenience of GOVERNING BODY. GOVERNING BODY reserves the right to terminate by giving written notice to REDSPEED sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination,. Termination after the first year shall be without any financial cost to the Village. Termination during the first year after any camera has been installed shall carry a liquidated damage of ten thousand ($10,000.00) as reimbursement of removal costs. Upon termination of this Agreement, either for breach or because it has reached the end of its term or as a result of giving an early termination notice, the parties recognize that GOVERNING BODY will have to process traffic law violations that occur prior to the notice of termination of the Agreement and that REDSPEED must assist GOVERNING BODY in this regard. Accordingly, the parties shall take the following actions, and shall have the following obligations, which survive termination during the wind-down period: GOVERNING BODY shall cease using the SPE System, shall return or allow REDSPEED to recover all provided equipment within a reasonable time not to exceed ninety (90) days, and shall not generate further images to be processed. Unless directed by GOVERNING pg. 4 of 17 BODY not to do so, REDSPEED shall continue to process all images taken by GOVERNING BODY before termination and provide all services associated with processing in accordance with this Agreement and shall be entitled to all Fees specified in the Agreement as if the Agreement were still in effect. REDSPEED shall provide GOVERNING BODY with all revenues owed to GOVERNING BODY accruing prior to the date of termination and REDSPEED shall be entitled to its fees pursuant to this Agreement, from said accrued revenues provided to GOVERNING BODY. Both parties to this Agreement agree: a. That
008(4)(c), Florida Statutes mandates the GOVERNING BODY consider traffic data or other evidence supporting the installation and operation of the proposed school zone speed detection system (“SPE System”)), and that the GOVERNING BODY determine that the school zone where a speed detection system is to be installed constitutes a heightened safety risk that warrants additional enforcement measures such as the SPE System at issue in this Agreement. b. That
0776(3), Florida Statutes mandates installation of SPE Systems be in accordance with specifications established by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). c. As of the date of execution of this Agreement, the GOVERNING BODY has not yet commenced a study of traffic data, nor gathered other evidence in support of the installation and operation of an SPE System. Furthermore, the FDOT has yet to establish specifications for the installation of Systems. d. Should traffic data or other evidence fail to support the installation of an SPE System, or FDOT specifications for an SPE System’s installation are, at the GOVERNING BODY’S sole discretion, found to be prohibitive to the SPE System’s installation, the GOVERNING BODY may terminate this Agreement, without penalty. Each Party to the Agreement shall bear their own costs (if any) should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this section. 6. ASSIGNMENT: Neither party may assign all or any portion of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Provided, however, that GOVERNING BODY hereby acknowledges and agrees that delivery and performance of REDSPEED’s rights pursuant to this Agreement shall require a significant investment by REDSPEED, and that in order to finance such investment, REDSPEED may be required to enter into certain agreements or arrangements including, but not limited to, acknowledgments and/or consents with equipment lessors, banks, financial institutions or other similar persons or entities. GOVERNING BODY hereby agrees that REDSPEED shall have the right to assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its rights to the equipment but not the service provided under this Agreement, to any of the aforesaid financial institutions without GOVERNING BODY’s prior written approval. GOVERNING BODY further acknowledges and agrees that in the event that REDSPEED provides any such acknowledgment or consent to GOVERNING BODY for execution, and in the event that GOVERNING BODY fails to execute and deliver such pg. 5 of 17 acknowledgment or consent back to REDSPEED within ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of such request from REDSPEED to execute such acknowledgment or consent, GOVERNING BODY shall be deemed to have consented to and approved such acknowledgment or consent and REDSPEED is granted a limited power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute the acknowledgment and/or consent on behalf of GOVERNING BODY and deliver such document to its financial institution. 7. FEES AND PAYMENT: GOVERNING BODY shall pay for all equipment, services and maintenance based on the fee schedule indicated in Exhibit B, Schedule 1 (“Fees”). 8. COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION: REDSPEED agrees that all information obtained by REDSPEED through operation of the SPE System shall be made available to the GOVERNING BODY at any time during REDSPEED’s normal working hours excluding trade secrets as defined by Florida law and other information that is confidential pursuant to Florida law or exempt from disclosure pursuant to Florida law and not reasonably necessary for the prosecution of citations or the fulfillment of GOVERNING BODY’s obligation under this Agreement. REDSPEED reserves the right to charge GOVERNING BODY for sizable information requests that will incur substantial resource allocation to compile. 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: No information given by REDSPEED to GOVERNING BODY will be of a confidential nature, unless specifically designated in writing as proprietary and confidential by REDSPEED and either confidential pursuant to Florida law or exempt from disclosure pursuant to Florida law. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed contrary to the terms and provisions of any Florida law governing public records or similar laws, insofar as they may be applicable. REDSPEED shall not use any information acquired by this program with respect to any violations or GOVERNING BODY’s law enforcement activities for any purpose other than the program encompassed by this Agreement. 10. OWNERSHIP OF SYSTEM: It is understood by GOVERNING BODY that the SPE System being installed by REDSPEED is, and shall remain, the sole property of REDSPEED, unless separately procured from REDSPEED through a lease or purchase transaction. The SPE Systems are provided to GOVERNING BODY only under the terms and for the term of this Agreement. 11.

REDSPEED agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GOVERNING BODY and GOVERNING BODY’s officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all personal injuries, losses, penalties, damages, settlements, fines, claims, costs, charges for other expenses, or liabilities of every and any kind including any award of attorney fees and any award of costs in connection with or arising from any negligence by REDSPEED or any of REDSPEED’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors in performing the work agreed to or performed by REDSPEED under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, any and all claims, suits or other actions relating to personal injury, death, damage to property, defects in materials or workmanship, violations of any decree of any court in connection with or arising from any negligence, intentional or reckless act or omission by REDSPEED shall be included in this indemnity. RedSpeed shall defend the GOVERNING BODY in the defense of legal challenges to the Program. Litigation counsel for the defense of any such challenges shall be chosen by The GOVERNING BODY. RedSpeed shall pay reasonable and customary fees and costs for the litigation. In the event a conflict between the GOVERNING BODY and RedSpeed arises and the Parties cannot waive such conflict, RedSpeed shall hire their own counsel, allowing the original counsel to continue to defend the GOVERNING BODY, and continue to pay for the reasonable and customary fees and costs for the GOVERNING BODY’S litigation defense. Should the Program be found unconstitutional by the Court of final jurisdiction, the parties shall each individually bear their proportion of damages as determined by the Court. REDSPEED shall maintain the following minimum scope and limits of insurance: a. Commercial General Liability Insurance including coverage for bodily injury, property damage, premises and operations, products/completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and contractual liability with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence. Further, the policy shall be endorsed to provide “all risks” coverage. The policy shall contain a severability of interests provision. Coverage shall be provided on an “occurrence” basis as opposed to a “claims made” basis. Such insurance shall name GOVERNING BODY and GOVERNING BODY’s officers, employees, volunteers and elected officials as additional insured for liability arising from REDSPEED’s operation. b. Workers’ Compensation, as required by applicable state law, and Employers Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $500,000 each accident. pg. 8 of 17 REDSPEED shall always maintain Workers’ Compensation insurance coverage in the amounts required by law, but shall not be required to provide such coverage for any actual or statutory employee of GOVERNING BODY. c. Comprehensive Business Automobile Liability Insurance for all owned, non- owned and hired automobiles and other vehicles used by REDSPEED with a minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence combined single limit bodily injury and property damage. d. Umbrella/Excess Liability insurance with minimum combined single limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate. Such policy shall provide the same coverage set forth in the Comprehensive General Liability insurance policy. Such insurance shall be endorsed to name the Village, and its elected officials, officers, employees and agents as additional insured parties. REDSPEED shall require any subcontractors doing work under this Agreement to provide and maintain the same insurance, which insurance shall also name GOVERNING BODY and GOVERNING BODY’s officers, employees and elected officials as additional insureds. Certificates showing REDSPEED is carrying the above-described insurance, and evidencing the additional insured status specified above, shall be furnished to GOVERNING BODY within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which this Agreement is made. Such certificates shall show that GOVERNING BODY shall be notified at least thirty (30) days in advance of all cancellations of such insurance policies. REDSPEED shall forthwith obtain substitute insurance in the event of a cancellation. Inasmuch as GOVERNING BODY is a body politic and corporate, the laws from which GOVERNING BODY derives its powers, insofar as the same law regulates the objects for which, or manner in which, or the concerns under which, GOVERNING BODY may enter into this Agreement, shall be controlling and shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement. GOVERNING BODY shall be responsible for vehicle insurance coverage on any vehicles driven by GOVERNING BODY employees. Coverage will include liability and collision damage. REDSPEED will require all its subcontractors to provide the aforementioned coverage as well as any other coverage that REDSPEED may consider necessary, and any deficiency in the coverage or policy limits of said subcontractors shall be the sole responsibility of REDSPEED. Insurance shall be procured and maintained with insurers with an A- or better rating as determined by Best’s Key Rating Guide. All insurance shall be continuously maintained to cover all liability, claims, demands, and other obligations assumed by REDSPEED. No policy of insurance shall contain any exclusion for bodily injury or property damage arising from completed operations. pg. 9 of 17 Every policy of insurance shall provide that the Village will receive notice no less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to any cancellation, termination, or a material change in such policy. Proof of required insurance shall be maintained in all equipment and motor vehicles insured in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. REDSPEED will ensure that any and all policies of insurance procured hereunder shall provide for a waiver of subrogation against the Village, and REDSPEED waives any claim against the Village arising in contract or tort which is covered by its insurance hereunder. REDSPEED’S failure to obtain and continuously maintain policies of insurance in accordance with this Section and its subsections shall not limit, prevent, preclude, excuse, or modify any liability, claims, demands, or other obligations of REDSPEED arising from performance or non-performance of this Agreement. Failure on the part of REDSPEED to obtain and to continuously maintain policies providing the required coverage, conditions, restrictions, notices, and minimum limits shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement upon which the Village may immediately terminate this Agreement without advance notice. 13. STATE LAW TO APPLY: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The parties waive the privilege of venue and agree that all litigation between them in the state courts shall take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida and that all litigation between them in the federal courts shall take place in the Southern District of Florida, United States District Court. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to waive, limit, or otherwise modify any governmental or sovereign immunity that may be available by law to the Village, its elected officials, officers, employees, contractors, or agents, or any other person acting on behalf of the Village and, in particular, governmental or sovereign immunity afforded or available pursuant to Florida Statutes. 14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: All disputes arising out of or in connection with the Agreement shall be attempted to be settled through good-faith efforts between senior management of both Parties. Following thirty (30) days of unsuccessful negotiation, a dispute may be submitted to professionally- assisted mediation. Before a demand for mediation may be filed by either Party, the management of both Parties shall have met at least two times in face-to-face meetings in an effort to resolve any dispute or controversy through normal business management practices. Any mediator so designated must be acceptable to each Party. The mediation will be conducted as specified by the mediator and agreed upon by the Parties. The Parties agree to discuss their differences in good faith and to attempt, with the assistance of the mediator, to reach an amicable resolution of the dispute. The mediation will be treated as a settlement discussion and therefore will be confidential. The mediator may not testify for either Party in any later proceeding relating to the dispute. Each Party will bear its own pg. 10 of 17 costs in the mediation. The fees and expenses of the mediator will be shared equally by the Parties. Failing resolution through negotiation or mediation, any remaining dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) before a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration will be mutually agreed upon within fourteen (14) days of a decision to seek arbitration. Limited discovery will be permitted in connection with the arbitration upon agreement of the Parties and only upon a showing of substantial need by the Party seeking discovery. The arbitrator will have no power to award damages inconsistent with the Agreement; or punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing Party’s actual damages, and the Parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other proceeding. All aspects of the arbitration will be confidential. Neither the Parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. 15. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT: GOVERNING BODY may from time to time consider it in its best interest to change, modify or extend term, conditions or covenants of this Agreement or require changes in the scope of the Services to be performed by REDSPEED, or request REDSPEED to perform additional services regardless of and without invalidating the process that was used to procure the services enumerated under this Agreement. Any such change, addition, deletion, extension or modification, including any increase or decrease in the amount of REDSPEED’s compensation, which are mutually agreed upon by and between GOVERNING BODY and REDSPEED, shall be incorporated in written amendments (herein called “Amendments”) to this Agreement that are duly executed by both parties. Such Amendments shall not invalidate the procurement process or this Agreement nor relieve or release REDSPEED or GOVERNING BODY of any of its obligations under this Agreement unless stated therein. 16. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT(S) ON AGREEMENT: Except as expressly amended or modified by the terms of an Amendment, all terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless a different meaning is specified in an Amendment, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning described in the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Amendment and this Agreement, the Amendment shall prevail and control. 17.

NO AGENCY: Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, REDSPEED is an independent contractor under this Agreement and acts an agent of GOVERNING BODY. Personal services shall be provided by employees of REDSPEED who shall be subject to supervision by REDSPEED, and not as officers, employees or agents of the GOVERNING BODY. Personnel policies, tax responsibilities, social security, health insurance, employee benefits, purchasing policies and other similar administrative procedures applicable to services rendered under this Agreement shall be those of REDSPEED. 19. FORCE MAJEURE: GOVERNING BODY and REDSPEED will be excused from the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement when and to the extent that their performance is delayed or prevented by any circumstances beyond their control including, fire, flood, explosion, strikes or other labor disputes, act of God or public emergency, war, rioting, malicious damage, act or omission of any governmental authority, delay or failure or shortage of any type of transportation, equipment, or service from a public utility needed for their performance provided that: • the non-performing party gives the other party prompt written notice describing the particulars of the Force Majeure including, but not limited to, the nature of the occurrence and its expected duration, and continues to furnish timely reports with respect thereto during the period of the Force Majeure; the excuse of performance is of no greater scope and no longer duration than is required by the Force Majeure; • no obligations of either party that arose before the Force Majeure causing the excuse of performance are excused as a result of the Force Majeure; and, • the non-performing party uses its best efforts to remedy its inability to perform. Notwithstanding the above, performance shall not be excused under this Section for a period in excess of two (2) months, provided that in extenuating circumstances, GOVERNING BODY may excuse performance for a longer term. Economic hardship of REDSPEED will not constitute Force Majeure. The term of the Agreement shall be extended by a period equal to that during which either party’s performance is suspended under this Section. 20. PERMITS, FEES, AND LICENSES: pg. 12 of 17 REDSPEED shall, at its own expense, obtain all necessary permits and pay all licenses and fees required to comply with all local ordinances, state and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to business to be carried out under this Agreement. 21.
