LINE RELOCATION COOPERATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Collier County, a
political subdivision of the State of Florida, acting by and through its Board of County
Commissioners, ("County"), and Orange Tree Utility Company, a Florida corporation ("Orange
Tree").
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the County is preparing roadway construction plans and contract
documents to widen and otherwise improve a segment of Oil Well Road ("Road Project"); and,
WHEREAS, the County is relocating, and/or removing existing Orange Tree utility lines
within the right-of-way corridor as part of the Road Project; and,
WHEREAS, the County and Orange Tree have determined that the Road Project and the
Utility Work will be most expeditiously and economically carried out by each party entering into
this Line Relocation Cooperation Agreement ("Agreement"); and,
WHEREAS, by entering into this Agreement neither party relinquishes any of their
rights in the case of Orange Tree Utility Co. v. Collier County, Case No. 07-2333-CA, pending
in the Circuit Court of the 20th Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida, or in the 1986
Settlement Agreement and the Zoning and Development Document, Collier County Ordinance
87-13, or subsequent, related agreements, ordinances or claims (the "Lawsuit").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of ten dollars, and the mutual promises
contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, County and
Orange Tree agree as follows:
1. Participation in the Ae:reement The County and Orange Tree shall work
cooperatively to accomplish all facets of the Utility Work. The County will endeavor to
complete as expeditiously as possible all work set forth in this Agreement and any Supplemental
Agreement(s) and/or Change Order(s), which may be approved by the parties subsequent to
execution of this Agreement.
2. Utility Work The Florida Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") has
issued Permit No. 294904-001-DS for the water main relocation portion of the Utility Work and
Permit No. 50692-025- WDC/CM for the wastewater force main relocation portion of the Utility
Work (the "Permits") based on plans and specifications attached hereto or otherwise identified in
Exhibit "A" ("Utility Work"). The Utility Work shall be a turnkey project by the County. The
County shall be responsible to obtain a Collier County Right-of-Way Use Permit as may be
required for the Utility Work.

3. Preparation of Proiect Documents
3.1 The parties acknowledge that the design work (plans and specifications) for the
Utility Work as of the date of this Agreement are less than 100% complete. The County agrees
to timely provide Orange Tree with updated plans and specifications as available through 100%
design completion. After submission of the 100% complete design plans, the parties agree to
meet to review the plans. Orange Tree shall provide any comments, recommend modifications,
and identify any inconsistencies or inaccuracies. The quality of materials and methods shall be
comparable to, or better than recent additions to the Orange Tree facilities currently in place.
The County shall make appropriate adjustments to the design, provided the changes do not
materially add to the cost or schedule of the project. Thereafter the definition of Utility Work set
forth herein shall be modified to reference the 100% complete design plans.
3.2 The County shall provide to Orange Tree the cost estimates, bid tabulations and
related bid documents required for the Utility Work. The County shall prepare all Utility Work
project documents in accordance with industry standards, the standards adopted by the Florida
Department of Transportation and DEP, and other relevant professional standards.
3.3 The County shall provide Orange Tree with three (3) sets of plans for the Utility
Work. The Utility Work represented on these plans, as well as any revisions that might be made,
shall be in conformance with all permitting requirements and with the plans and specifications
providing the basis for the Utility Work. The County shall provide Orange Tree with three (3)
sets of specifications fully describing the Utility Work in detail as the same shall be illustrated on
the aforementioned plans. The format for the Utility Work specifications shall be the same as
the County's specifications for the Road Project.
3.4 The County's incorporation of the Utility Work into the Road Project shall not
operate as a waiver of any of the County's or Orange Tree's rights under the Lawsuit. The
County expressly acknowledges and agrees that Orange Tree shall not be held liable or
responsible for any claims or damages that may result from any actions, omissions, or negligence
of the County either through review, approval, concurrence, or incorporation of any of the Utility
Work in the Road Project.
4. Biddine: & Award
4.1 The County shall assemble a complete bid package for the Road Project that
combines the bid documents for the roadway construction and the bid documents for the Utility
Work. The County shall provide notice to Orange Tree and a representative of Orange Tree may
attend the pre-bid conference and the bid opening at the place and time designated by the
County. The County shall provide Orange Tree's representative with copies of all responsive
bids following the bid opening. The County shall notify Orange Tree within ten (10) days of the
bid opening of the apparent lowest responsible and responsive bidder ("Project Construction
Contractor").
4.2 Based on County plans and specifications for the Utility Work, including engineering
design, permitting, and inspection, the County estimates that the construction cost of the Utility
2
1687
Work will be $1,876,622.00 ("Cost Estimate"). This construction cost estimate includes a
conservative approach to goods and services pricing. If, however, unanticipated costs are
incurred during the course of the Utility Work, which raise the actual cost to an amount capped
at no greater than 10% above the Cost Estimate ("Utility Work Total Cost"), that amount shall be
considered a reasonable and prudent investment by the parties. The parties agree that the Utility
Work Total Cost for the Utility Work is considered prudent for cost recovery purposes.
5. Construction
5.1 The County shall provide for all project site inspection, testing, and monitoring of the
Utility Work. The County's field inspector shall provide Orange Tree with a daily progress
report on the Utility Work. The progress report shall describe in detail work completed and
accepted by County, any deviations from the plans and/or specifications, a description of Utility
Work accomplished that day, and any unusual occurrences.
5.2 All adjustments, relocations, reconnection tie-ins, repair of damaged Orange Tree
facilities, and other miscellaneous Utility Work that is not included in the construction contract
will be the sole responsibility of County, which may be assigned to the Project Construction
Contractor. Any such additional miscellaneous Utility Work will be handled in an expedient
manner. Orange Tree shall not be responsible for any damages, cost, and liability due to any
delays incurred as a result of such additional and/or miscellaneous Utility Work.
5.3 Attached as Exhibit "B" is contact information for a representative of Orange Tree
and the County (with the Project Construction Contractor to be added when available), each of
whom will be the contact for decisions to be made with regard to the Road Project and Utility
Work including, but not limited to, witnessing and approving testing, tie-ins, hot taps, pressure
tests, flushing and other such matters. Each party may change its point of contact by written
notice to the other parties. County shall provide Orange Tree with notice of all Project
Construction Contractor meetings, all Utility Work inspections, and other meetings relevant to
the Utility Work during the construction period, which Orange Tree may elect to attend at its
option.
6. Construction Close-Out and Guarantee
6.1 At its option, Orange Tree may participate in the County's final inspection of the
Utility Work construction, which inspection shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Final Project
Inspection." In the event Orange Tree elects not to participate in the aforementioned Final
Project Inspection, Orange Tree shall notify the County in writing of such election. If Orange
Tree elects not to participate in the Final Project Inspection and fails to notify the County in
writing of its election not to participate, the Utility Work shall be deemed to be fully accepted
and approved by Orange Tree in accordance with the Utility Work plans and contract documents.
6.2 Notwithstanding the provisions in section 6.1, in the event Orange Tree has
determined that the Utility Work contains deficiencies that require correction, Orange Tree shall
so inform the County and the County shall promptly work with the Project Construction
Contractor to correct same. Orange Tree may then elect to accept the Utility Work subject to
3
1687
subsequent correction by the County or Project Construction Contractor, or delay acceptance
subject to correction.
6.3 Final DEP approvals and authorization to place Utility Work in service shall be a
County responsibility. Orange Tree shall cooperate as necessary in placing the Utility Work in
service. County shall provide timely notice of the interconnection of the Utility Work with the
existing Orange Tree facilities and shall take such action as is necessary to limit and remedy any
resulting service interruption.
6.4 Orange Tree shall promptly receive three (3) signed and sealed sets of record
drawings and as-built plans for the Utility Work from the County.
6.5 Subject to section 7.3, upon issuance by the County of a Letter of Final Construction
Acceptance, or its equivalent, to the Project Construction Contractor, all Utility Work performed
pursuant to this Agreement shall become the sole property and responsibility of Orange Tree and
all utility lines and facilities installed pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be the
property of Orange Tree. Such facilities shall be conveyed free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.
6.6 County shall obtain a written warranty, completion, and performance and
maintenance bonds from the Project Construction Contractor for a minimum period of twelve
(12) months from the Utility Work placed in service date with DEP.
7. Construction Payments
7.1 All payments due the Project Construction Contractor shall be made by the County in
accordance with the general provisions of the Road Project and Utility Work contract documents.
The County shall provide a copy of paid invoices and contractor releases (including final release
oflien) to Orange Tree at 4500 Executive Drive, #110 Naples, FL 34119.
7.2 The County will seek reimbursement for the actual cost of the Utility Work, in an
amount not to exceed the Utility Work Total Cost, under Florida Statute 337.403 (3), which
states: "Whenever an order of the authority requires such removal or change in the location of
any utility ...and the owner thereof fails to conform to the order ...the authority shall proceed to
cause the utility to be removed. The expense thereby incurred shall be paid out of any money
available therefore, and such expense shall, except as provided in subsection (1), be charged
against the owner and levied and collected and paid into the fund from which the expense of
such relocation was paid."
7.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Orange Tree's obligation to
reimburse the County for the cost of the Utility Work shall be conditioned upon the outcome of
the Lawsuit. That is, if the Lawsuit is decided in favor of the County, the County shall remain
responsible for all costs associated with the Utility Work. In the event the Lawsuit is decided in
favor of Orange Tree, the Orange Tree facilities will include the Utility Work. In that case, the
Utility shall be responsible for reimbursement of the County's costs not to exceed the Total
Utility Work Cost. The parties agree that, in that event, Orange Tree shall be given a resonable
4
1687
period of time to secure financing under commercially-reasonable terms in order to reimburse
the County, and to seek approval from the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority to
recover that cost through customer rates and charges as a part of it's regulated utility operation.
8. Indemnitv and Claims
8.1 The County agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and hold
Orange Tree and all its officers, agents, and employees harmless from any claims, losses,
demands, or causes of action of whatever kind or nature that Orange Tree, its officers, agents, or
employees, may sustain as a result of the Utility Work, other than as may be the result of the
negligence or willful misconduct of Orange Tree. Further, the County and Orange Tree agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold one another, and all their officers, agents, and employees harmless
from any claims, losses, demands, or causes of action of whatever kind or nature that either
party, its officers, agents, or employees, may sustain as a result of or emanating from the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement, other than as may be the result of the negligence or
willful misconduct of the party making the claim. Notwithstanding all other provisions in this
Agreement, and notwithstanding all existing or future amendments to this Agreement, and
notwithstanding all insurance coverage whatsoever throughout the entire term of this Agreement,
including all term extensions, if any, the County's promise to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless shall not constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity beyond the limits set forth in
Florida Statutes, Section 768.28, nor shall the same be construed to constitute agreement by
either party to indemnify the other party for such other party's negligent, willful or intentional
acts or omissions.
8.2 If the County or Orange Tree has a claim, or reason to believe it has a claim, as a
result of the Project Construction Contractor's performance or lack of performance with regard
to the Utility Work, the County agrees to fully pursue such claim, notwithstanding the turnover
of Utility Work to Orange Tree. Orange Tree shall cooperate with the County in pursuing any
such claim and shall provide access to the Utility Work as needed in support thereof.
8.3 The County shall furnish Orange Tree with proof of self insurance or a certificate(s)
of insurance prior to commencing construction on the Utility Work written on companies
licensed to do business in the State of Florida. Coverage shall be consistent with the insurance
requirements for other County projects of this type and shall include commercial general liability
insurance coverage written on an occurrence form including bodily injury and property damage
liability for premises, operations, independent contractors, products and completed operations,
contractual liability, broad form property damages, and personal injury. Said certificate shall
provide that, except for non-payment of premiums, insurance coverage shall not be canceled or
reduced by the insurance carrier without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Orange
Tree. The County reserves the right to alter or amend the insurance requirements from time to
time based on scope of the contract, risk factors and liability. Orange Tree and Roberto Bollt
Trustee, shall be named an additional insured on any policies related to the Utility Work, except
worker's compensation.

otherwise affected by such action, shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may
