This Escrow Agreement ( "Agreement ") is made and entered into this 14th day of
December, 2011, by and among Collier County, a political subdivision of the State of
Florida ( "County "), by and through its Board of County Commissioners as the governing
body of the Vanderbilt Beach Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit (collectively,
"County "), the Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court ( "Clerk "), Florida Power &
Light Company, a Florida corporation ( "FPL ") and Fifth Third Bank ( "Fifth Third "), an
Ohio banking corporation and a qualified public depository as defined under Section
280.02(26), Florida Statutes, as escrow agent ( "Escrow Agent ").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the County requested that FPL convert certain overhead electric
distribution facilities to underground electric distribution facilities ( "Conversion" or
"Project), and to that end, the County paid FPL an engineering deposit in the amount of
thirteen thousand twenty seven dollars ($13,027.00) on March 12, 2009, to develop a cost
estimate for the Conversion; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Rule 25- 6.115, Florida Administrative Code
( "Conversion Rule ") and FPL's Florida Public Service Commission ( "FPSC ")- approved
Tariff Rule 12 ( "Conversion Tariff'), FPL provided the County a Binding Cost Estimate
( "BCE ") for the Conversion along with an Underground Facilities Conversion Agreement
— Governmental Adjustment Factor Waiver Agreement ( "UFCA ") on August 24, 2011;
and
WHEREAS, the UFCA outlines the total contribution -in- aid -of- construction
( "CIAC ") required for the Conversion in the amount of two million eight hundred
twenty -one thousand nine hundred and eighteen dollars ($2,821,918.00); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Conversion Rule and Conversion Tariff, County is
eligible for the Government Adjustment Factor Waiver ( "GAF Waiver ") in the amount of
six hundred six thousand three hundred seventy three dollars ($606,373.00) which
provides a corresponding reduction to the CIAC that would otherwise be due from
County for the Conversion; and
WHEREAS, the Conversion Rule and Conversion Tariff also provide for other
reductions to the CIAC, including a credit in the amount of five hundred fifty -two
thousand one hundred fifty dollars ($552,150.00), which represents the cost to install an
overhead electrical distribution system at current hardening standards; and
WHEREAS, after the net reductions to CIAC outlined above and as more
specifically set forth in the UFCA, the BCE that the County is to pay at the outset of the
Conversion is one million eight hundred six thousand ninety one dollars ($1,806,091.00)
( "County CIAC Amount "); and
Poll
WHEREAS, on November 8, 2011, the Collier County Board of Commissioners
approved entering into the UFCA; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article VIII, Section 1(d) of the Florida Constitution and
Section 28.12, Florida Statutes, the Clerk is the auditor and custodian of all County
funds; and
WHEREAS, by virtue of the UFCA, Conversion Tariff and Conversion Rule,
County, Clerk and FPL desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of establishing
an Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent, delivering the County CIAC Amount (the
"Escrowed Funds ") to the Escrow Agent in satisfaction of the requirement that County
pay the BCE at the outset of the Conversion and providing a procedure for the Clerk to
review and approve disbursement of Escrowed Funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Establishment of an Escrow Account. FPL and the County hereby authorize and
direct the Escrow Agent to establish an Escrow Account ( "Account ") and the Escrow
Agent hereby accepts such appointment, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The Account shall be a non - interest bearing, Unlimited FDIC Account at
Fifth Third Bank and shall be entitled "Escrow Account Fifth Third Bank FBO Collier
County and Florida Power & Light Company Account No. The County
shall be responsible to pay all costs, fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, if any,
arising from or in connection with the Account.
1.1 The Parties direct the Escrow Agent to place the Escrowed Funds in a Fifth Third
Bank account with the same protections as a qualified public depository in the State
of Florida. Exhibit "A" attached hereto states the fee schedule that will apply to the
Account.
2. Escrow Agent porting Requirements. Each month during the term of this
Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall issue to FPL, the Clerk and County a current
statement of Account activity for the period, including starting balance, deposits in the
Account, withdrawals from the Account, and ending balance. County, Clerk and FPL
agree and direct Escrow Agent that the Escrowed Funds are owned by the County for tax
reporting.
3. Deposit of County CIAC Amount. As a condition precedent to the
commencement of the Conversion, County shall fully execute the UFCA and Clerk shall
deposit one million eight hundred six thousand ninety -one dollars ($1,806,091.00) in the
Account, which represents the net County CIAC Amount due. County shall evidence
such deposit by delivering to FPL receipt of deposit within five (5) business days of the
full execution of this Agreement and the UFCA.
4. Progress Milestones — Notice of Completion. FPL shall complete the Conversion
in accordance with the construction drawings and specifications set forth in Attachment
A of the UFCA, the progress milestone ( "Milestone ") set forth in the escrow
disbursement schedule attached hereto as Exhibit `B" and the illustrative timeline
attached hereto as Exhibit "C." The initial Milestone is the procurement of certain
special order material required for the Conversion. Upon completion of the initial
materials procurement Milestone, FPL shall provide County, Clerk and Escrow Agent
written notice of Milestone completion along with a purchase order which includes a
detailed list of materials and quantities as evidence of the procurement. Upon completion
of each of the remaining Milestones set forth in Exhibit `B," FPL shall provide County,
Clerk and Escrow Agent notice of Milestone completion along with a signed "redline"
drawing as evidence of Milestone completion. Clerk, at its sole discretion, may also
make arrangements with FPL for physical inspection of the Conversion, coordinating his
inspection with FPL, as further evidence of Milestone completion, in which FPL shall
cooperate. Clerk and County acknowledge and understand that, pursuant to the UFCA,
Conversion Rule and Conversion Tariff, the County CIAC Amount is a fixed -price
contribution toward the Conversion and is not subject to further reduction or payment
offset. The Account shall terminate upon the earlier of 24 months from the date of initial
deposit or the disbursement of the fourth and final draw in accordance with Exhibit `B,"
below and any funds then remaining in the Account shall be paid to the County upon
written request of the County.
5. Disbursement of Escrowed Funds. The Clerk shall have ten (10) business days
after receipt to review each notice of Milestone completion and determine if the notice of
Milestone completion is complete, proper and accurate, if the Milestone is complete
(which may include physical inspection), if payment to FPL is appropriate and to either:
(a) provide Escrow Agent and FPL with notice of approval to disburse Escrowed Funds;
or (b) provide Escrow Agent and FPL with notice of rejection of approval to disburse
Escrowed Funds. Upon receipt from Clerk of notice of approval to disburse Escrowed
Funds, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to FPL from the Escrowed Funds the amount set
forth in the applicable notice of Milestone completion (the "Milestone Payment "). In
the event that the Clerk provides Escrow Agent with notice of rejection of approval to
disburse Escrowed Funds or fails to provide a notice of approval or rejection within ten
(10) business days, FPL may, at its sole discretion, issue a stop -work order and
discontinue further progress on the Conversion until such time as full payment is received
according to the Milestone schedule set forth in Exhibit `B." The Escrow Agent has no
obligation or right to disburse funds from escrow unless and until receipt of a written
notice of approval from the Clerk.

Subject: Professional Service Proposal for Vanderbilt Beach MSTU — Phase IV
(RWA, Inc. File No. '080010.00.05)
Dear Darryl,
RWA, Inc. is pleased to submit the following proposal for land surveying and subsurface utility
services associated with the redesign of the existing FPL aerial lines. Outlined below is our
understanding of the project profile and the assumptions we have used to develop our scope and
associated fees in response to your request for proposal. This proposal has been prepared with the
knowledge and experience gained through the successful completion of the Phases I, IIA and
Phase III of the project. It is worth noting, that should the Board consider undertaking the
remaining phase concurrently, the timing will help us compress the time schedules for
completion, and avoid subsequent mobilization time and expense.
PROJECT PROFILE
• Collier County (Client) intends to assist the MSTU with the redesign of the existing FPL aerial
lines located within the MSTU boundary in Section 29, Township 48 South, Range 25 East in
Collier County, Florida.
• The Client has issued a request for proposal including a preliminary scope of services.
• RWA shall provide a detailed topographic and control survey and existing underground utility
locations within Phase IV, as depicted on the Vanderbilt Beach MSTU power line-
underground installation exhibit, received on January 4, 2008, and amended to divide Phase II.
The surveying limits are 10' outside of the existing right -of -way.
• Phase IV shall include Vanderbilt Drive from Bluebill Avenue, northerly to just south of the
intersection with Wiggin's Pass Road. (7,900 linear feet)
• The Client desires to retain the services of RWA, Inc. (Consultant) and proceed with the
Project as described within this proposal.
• The project will be permitted, designed and developed in three subsequent phases.
• Phase I of the project (approximately 10,200 linear feet) included an additional services
(change order) to utilize vacuum excavation methods to obtain vertical information on
twenty seven (2 7) specific locations at the request of FPL, or one hole per 400 linear feet
6610 Willow Park Drive, Suite 200, Naples FL 34109 • (239) 597 -0575, fax; (239) 597 -0578
www.consult- rwa.com
Z 0
This proposal for services factors in the use of vacuum excavation at a rate of one hole, per
300 linear feet for each of the subsequent phases The use of vacuum excavation is to clarify
potential utility conflicts This shall be billed on a per hole basis at the rate of $625 per hole.
The line item listed in the Professional Fee section is only an estimate based on the number
calculated at one hole per 300 linear feet.
PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS
• The client will make available all pertinent information associated with the project including,
but not limited to, legal descriptions, existing surveys, permits, title policies and other
available documents.
• The vertical datum will be collected in NAVD 1988 and converted to NGVD 1929.
• Any additional surveying services, additional underground soft digs or the use of ground
penetrating radar, beyond the Scope of this Proposal, shall be billed on a time, material and
expense basis as per the approved rate codes stated within Annual Contract # 09 -5262.
• This proposal includes performing all services described within on a one -time basis.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
1.0 Control Survey
1.1. Reproduce the recorded right -of -way and baseline information. Right -of -way shall
include the intersecting road within the project limits. The right -of -way information
shall be labeled, including, date, bearings and distances. In addition the following
information shall be noted:
a. Horizontal datum — tied into the Florida State Plan Coordinate System, NAD
