Agenda 10/10/2017 Item #16D1210/10/2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to authorize execution of a Solar Lease Agreement with the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) for North Collier Regional Park (NCRP). OBJECTIVE: To have FPL install and maintain solar power generating equipment at NCRP, providing covered parking and an additional revenue source. CONSIDERATIONS: FPL SolarNow is a way for FPL customers to participate in a voluntary program that supports the development of solar energy projects in local communities. Community solar projects, like solar trees and canopies, are constructed in local public areas such as parks, zoos, and museums. FPL installs, operates, and maintains these projects which generate clean, renewable energy at no cost to the County. The lease states that FPL shall be granted the use of the premises at North Collier Regional Park to construct a solar canopy structure in the parking lot next to the soccer fields. Installation, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement costs of any equipment will be borne by FPL. The lease includes an annual rent payment to be calculated based on the actual capacity of kilowatts of solar power installed by FPL multiplied by twenty dollars ($20.00) per kilowatt. The installation of solar panels is consistent with the County’s education mission and will promote the benefits of solar energy to the nearly 400,000 people who visit NCRP annually. The solar installation will also provide NCRP visitors with approximately 100 shaded parking spots, which is an ongoing request to NCRP management. There will be no parking spaces lost as a result of the canopy installation. The term of the lease includes a construction term (12 months with option for a 12 month extension) and operating term of five years allowing FPL the option to renew for two more five-year terms. Either party may terminate the lease with 30 days notice to the other party, however, if County terminates within the first 15 years of the lease, County is required to pay FPL an amount equal to the actual costs incurred for removal and disposal or relocation costs of the equipment, and repair and restoration of the premises. The estimated cost is $518,000 per 50 kilo watts installed at 241 kilo watts or a total of $2,496,760. FISCAL IMPACT: The annual rent of $4,840 ($20/kwh) for the lease term, will be deposited into General Fund (001) Cost Center 156344. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -JAB RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Solar Lease Agreement, and direct the County Manager (or designee) to follow all appropriate procedures for delivery of the document to Florida Power & Light Company.

Following any permitted assignment or transfer by operation of law, the terms "Lessor" and "Lessee" shall be deemed to refer to the relevant transferee or successor, unless the context clearly indicates that the term refers only to the original Party so identified. (b) Lessor acknowledges that Lessee's interests under this Agreement and in the Equipment are and will be encumbered by Lessee's existing mortgage. Additionally, Lessee may, upon notice to Lessor, mortgage or grant a security interest in this Agreement and the Equipment, and may assign this Agreement and the Equipment to any of Lessee's future mortgagees or holders of security interests, including their successors or assigns (Lessee's existing mortgagee and any future Lessee mortgagees or security interest holders are collectively referred to herein as the "Mortgagees"), and such Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume Lessee's rights and obligations under this Agreement. In such event, Lessor shall execute such consent to leasehold financing as may reasonably be required by Mortgagees. Lessor agrees to notify Lessee and Lessee's Mortgagees simultaneously of any default by Lessee and to give Mortgagees the same right to cure any default as Lessee, except that the cure period for any Mortgagees shall not be less than thirty (30) calendar days after 10 receipt of the default notice, as provided in Section 15 above. All such notices to Mortgagees shall be sent to Mortgagees at the address specified by Lessee. Failure by Lessor to give Mortgagees such notice shall not diminish Lessor's rights against Lessee, but shall preserve all rights of Mortgagees to cure any default as provided in Section 15 above. 23. Condemnation. In the event of condemnation of some or all of the Demised Premises, Lessor and Lessee shall each be entitled to pursue their own separate awards with respect to such taking, as their respective interests appear. Sale of all or part of the Property to a purchaser with the power of eminent domain in the face of the exercise of the power shall be treated as a taking by condemnation for purposes of this Agreement. 24. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other instruments required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by the notifying Party, or officer, agent or attorney of the notifying Party, and shall be deemed to have been effective upon delivery if served personally, including but not limited to delivery by messenger, overnight courier service or by overnight express mail, or on the third (3`d) business day after posting if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and addressed as follows: To Lessor: Collier County 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 303 Naples, FL 34112 Attn: County Sustainability Manager To Lessee: Florida Power & Light Company 700 Universe Boulevard, CRE/JB Juno Beach, Florida 33408 Attn: Vice President of Corporate Real Estate With copy to: Florida Power & Light Company 700 Universe Boulevard, LAW/JB Juno Beach, Florida 33408 Attn: General Counsel The address to which any notice, demand, or other writing may be delivered to any Party as above provided may be changed by written notice given by such Party. 25. Memorandum of Lease. It is specifically understood and agreed by both Parties hereto that a Memorandum of Lease ("Memorandum") in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit E will be executed by the Parties and recorded in the Public Records of the county in which the Demised Premises is located, indexed in the land records of that office in the names of both Parties hereto and will be a matter of public record. Upon completion of the installation of the Equipment by Lessee, Lessee shall provide Lessor with an "as -built" survey of the Equipment installed on the Demised Premises which shall serve as a replacement to the exhibit attached to the Memorandum, and Lessor hereby authorizes Lessee to execute and record an amendment to the Memorandum without the Lessor's signature effectuating such change. 11 26. Miscellaneous. (a) Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver.

This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

This Agreement shall bind and benefit the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. (i) Publicity; Tours.

In order to coordinate the timing, tone and content of any publicity, however, each Party agrees that neither of them shall issue any press release or otherwise publicize the existence or the terms of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that general advertising that refers to a "partnering" (or other terminology of similar import) of either Parry with the other Party for the purposes of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, but does not expressly reference this Agreement or disclose any of the terms hereof, shall not be subject to the provisions of this subsection. No filing that Lessee is required by applicable law to make with any regulatory authority shall, by itself, be deemed to violate the preceding sentence.
