				performance of the District contract;

(i) Whether the contracting entity was on the
				District's suspension list at the time it breached its current contract with
				the District;

				contracting entity has materially breached a contract with the District in the
				past, and if so, how many times since the effective date of this
				rule;
(k) Whether the contracting
				entity was on another Federal or State suspension or debarment list at the time
				it breached its current contract with the District;
(l) Whether the breach involved
				discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, age or
				handicap;
(m) Whether the breach
				involved the commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery or bribery;
				falsification of statements or claims; receipt of stolen property; or
				obstruction of justice;
(n) Whether

				business integrity or business honesty;

				  District shall indicate this reservation in all solicitations for contractual
				  or professional services. The District also reserves the right to waive minor
				  irregularities in any responses to solicitations. A minor irregularity is a
				  variation from the solicitation which does not affect the price of the

				  other respondents, or does not adversely impact the interests of the District.
				  The District shall not waive irregularities that are not of a minor
				  nature.
(1) A bidder may not modify or
				withdraw its bid after bid opening. The District may correct mistakes that are
				clearly evident on the face of bid documents, such as computation or
				typographical errors.
(2) A
				proposer or other respondent to a District solicitation may not modify or
				withdraw its response after the opening of such responses except to the extent
				agreed to by the District during subsequent contract negotiations.

(1) The purpose of
				Rules  40E-7.511 through
				 40E-7.539, F.A.C., hereinafter
				"this Part, " is to further implement the legislative intent expressed in
				Sections  259.101,
				 373.016(3)(i),
				 373.1391,
				 373.1395 and
				 373.59(11),
				F.S., and therefore, to establish regulations governing public access to
				certain District lands and use of said lands for nature based recreation and
				allied purposes. It is the intent of these regulations to protect the water
				resources, native plant communities, fish and wildlife populations, and related
				natural features of these lands together with any historic and cultural
				improvements thereon.
(2) The
				District provides no assurance that District lands are safe for any purpose,
				that the District has a duty of care toward any person entering lands or that
				the District is responsible for any injuries or damage to persons or property
				caused by an act or omission of any person who enters said District lands,

(1) The general
				regulations contained herein are broad in scope and applicable to all District
				lands.
(2) The regulations are
				applicable to all persons entering upon, using, or visiting said District
				lands.
(3) Consistent with the
				environmental sensitivity of these areas and the purposes for which the lands
				were acquired, and all rights, privileges, and protections afforded by the
				provisions of Section
				 373.1395, F.S., all District
				lands are hereby deemed open and available to the public for outdoor
				recreational purposes and access unless otherwise limited, restricted, or
				prohibited by special provision in this rule. Nothing in this rule prevents
				other federal, state, or local agencies, including but not limited to those
				with management contracts with the District, from requiring compliance with
				their own rules, permits, regulations, ordinances, or laws to the fullest
				extent of their lawful authority.
(4) Any signage prohibiting access to or use
				of District lands shall only apply to the property or area set forth in or
				delineated by such signage and a presumption shall exist that all other
				portions of the Management Areas, Stormwater Treatment Areas, Impoundment
				Areas, Rights of Way, and vacant undesignated lands where public access or use
				is not specifically prohibited are open and available for outdoor recreational
				purposes unless otherwise limited, restricted or prohibited by the Governing
				Board. This provision shall not be construed to impede enforcement of trespass
				statutes.
(5) When the District
				authorizes another government entity to jointly manage public recreation on
				District lands, this Part is supplemental to the laws, statutes, ordinances,
				and rules of the other government entity. When in conflict with this Part, the
				laws, statutes, ordinances, and rules of the other government entity supersede
				this Part, unless otherwise inconsistent with Chapter 373, F.S.
(6) The following District lands are not
				governed under this Part:
(a) District office
				buildings, service centers, field stations, pump stations, and other
				facilities.
(b) District lands that
				are under a land management lease or agreement with city, county, state,
				federal agencies, or private entities, to assume total management
				responsibility, including without limitations Water Conservation Areas 1, 2 and
				3.
(c) District lands that are
				commercially leased lands will not be governed by these rules unless the lease
				specifically permits public access.
(d) District lands on Tribal
				Reservations.

				Areas, and Impoundment Areas by the general public is only authorized at those
				designated access points.
(2) Entry
				onto and exiting from Right of Way may be at any legal public access
				point.
(3) Under the following
				conditions, activities authorized under this rule will be prohibited or
				District lands will be closed:
(a) When
				necessary during emergency conditions such as floods, severe weather events, or
				wildfire for public safety and the protection of natural resources. Such
				closures shall require the approval of the Executive Director and concurrence
				of the Governing Board.
(b) When
				necessary based upon available information at the time, on a temporary,
				seasonal or permanent basis to protect natural, historic or archaeological
				resources.
(c) During certain days,
				hours or periods of time, when such closure is necessary to implement land
				management practices such as prescribed burning, vegetation spraying,
				construction, operations, maintenance, research studies, data collection,
				resource protection, or as a condition of a contract or permit.
(d) If District lands or facilities are
				identified as "critical infrastructure", designated by the Regional Domestic
				Security Task Force pursuant to applicable law, then such lands or facilities
				are closed for public use without further action required by the Governing
				Board.
