Manual has been updated and conflicts with the Utility Accommodation Manual, the Utility
Accommodation Manual shall apply where such conflicts exist.
e. The technical special provisions which are a part of the Plans Package shall be prepared in
accordance with the FDOT's guidelines on preparation of technical special provisions and shall
not duplicate or change the general contracting provisions of the FDOT's Standard Specifications

stages, as well as other milestones necessary to complete the Plans Package within the time
specified in Subparagraph a. above.
g. In the event that the FDOT finds any deficiencies in the Plans Package during the reviews
performed pursuant to Subparagraph f. above, the FDOT will notify the UAO in writing of the

filing of the claim shall not necessarily entitle the UAO to payment, and resolution of the claim
shall be based on a determination of fault for the error. The discovery of facilities not previously
identified as being qualified for relocation at the FDOT's expense shall not invalidate this
Agreement.

Package. Any conflicts that cannot be resolved through cooperation shall be resolved in the
manner determined by the FDOT.

for the Utility Work. Upon being notified of the official estimate, the UAO shall have five (5)
working days within which to accept the official estimate for purposes of making deposits and for
determining any possible contribution on the part of the FDOT to the cost of the Utility Work, or to

Utility Work from the Project, the UAO shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from notification
from the FDOT or prior to posting of the accepted bid, whichever is earlier, pay an additional
amount to the FDOT to bring the total amount paid to the total obligation of the UAO for the cost
of the Utility Work, plus Allowances and 10% Contingency Fund. The FDOT will notify the UAO
as soon as it becomes apparent the accepted bid amount plus allowances and contingency is in
excess of the advance deposit amount; however, failure of the FDOT to so notify the UAO shall

g. Should contract modifications occur that increase the UAO's share of total project costs, the UAO
will be notified by the FDOT accordingly. The UAO agrees to provide, in advance of the additional
work being performed, adequate funds to ensure that cash on deposit with the FDOT is sufficient
to fully fund its share of the project costs. The FDOT shall notify the UAO as soon as it becomes
apparent the actual costs will overrun the award amount; however, failure of the FDOT to so notify
the UAO shall not relieve the UAO from its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on
final accounting as provided herein below.
h. The FDOT may use the funds paid by the UAO for payment of the cost of the Utility Work. The
Contingency Fund may be used for increases in the cost of the Utility Work which occur because

concurrence of the person delegated that responsibility by written notice from the UAO. The
delegatee shall respond immediately to all requests for written concurrence. If the delegatee
refuses to provide written concurrence promptly and the FDOT determines that the work is
necessary, the FDOT may proceed to perform the work and recover the cost thereof pursuant to
the provisions of Section 337.403(3), Florida Statutes. In the event that the Contingency Fund is
depleted, the UAO shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from notification from the FDOT, pay
to the FDOT an additional 10% of the total obligation of the UAO for the cost of the Utility Work
established under Subparagraph 3. e.for future use as the Contingency Fund.

(360) days. All project cost records and accounts shall be subject to audit by a representative of
the UAO for a period of three (3) years after final close out of the Project. The UAO will be
notified of the final cost. Both parties agree that in the event the final accounting of total project
costs pursuant to the terms of this agreement is less than the total deposits to date, a refund of
the excess will be made by the FDOT to the UAO in accordance with Section 215.422, Florida
Statutes. In the event said final accounting of total project costs is greater than the total deposits
to date, the UAO will pay the additional amount within forty(40)calendar days from the date of the
invoice. The UAO agrees to pay interest at a rate as established pursuant to Section 55.03,
Florida Statutes, on any invoice not paid within the time specified in the preceding sentence until

c. In the event the FDOT's contractor makes any claim against the FDOT relating to the Utility
Work, the FDOT will notify the UAO of the claim and the UAO will cooperate with the FDOT in
analyzing and resolving the claim within a reasonable time. Any resolution of any portion of the
claim directly between the UAO and the FDOT's contractor shall be in writing, shall be subject to

of a breach of this Agreement by the UAO, the Facilities shall be removed upon demand from the
FDOT in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph e. below.
c. The UAO shall take such steps to secure the Facilities and otherwise make the Facilities safe in
accordance with any and all applicable local, state or federal laws and regulations and in

the right of way.
e. The UAO shall remove the Facilities at the request of the FDOT in the event that the FDOT
determines that removal is necessary for FDOT use of the right of way or in the event that the
FDOT determines that use of the right of way is needed for other active utilities that cannot be
otherwise accommodated in the right of way. Removal shall be at the sole cost and expense of
the UAO and without any right of the UAO to object or make any claim of any nature whatsoever
with regard thereto. Removal shall be completed within the time specified in the FDOT's notice to

FDOT for any and all costs of any nature whatsoever resulting from the presence of the Facilities
within the right of way. Said costs shall include, but shall not be limited to, charges or expenses
which may result from the future need to remove the Facilities or from the presence of any
hazardous substance or material in or discharging from the Facilities. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be interpreted to require the UAO to indemnify the FDOT for the FDOT's own negligence;
however, it is the intent that all other costs and expenses of any nature be the responsibility of the
UAO.

performance of this Agreement.
The UAO's obligation to indemnify, defend, and pay for the defense or at the FDOT's option, to
participate and associate with the FDOT in the defense and trial of any damage claim or suit and any
related settlement negotiations, shall arise within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the UAO of the FDOT's
notice of claim for indemnification to the UAO. The notice of claim for indemnification shall be served by
certified mail. The UAO's obligation to defend and indemnify within fourteen (14) days of such notice
shall not be excused because of the UAO's inability to evaluate liability or because the UAO evaluates
liability and determines the UAO is not liable or determines the FDOT is solely negligent. Only a final
adjudication of judgment finding the FDOT solely negligent shall excuse performance of this provision by
the UAO. The UAO shall pay all costs and fees related to this obligation and its enforcement by the
FDOT. The FDOT's delay in notifying the UAO of a claim shall not release UAO of the above duty to
defend.
9. Miscellaneous

the UAO shall not be obligated to protect or maintain any of the Facilities to the extent the
FDOT's contractor has that obligation as part of the Utility Work pursuant to the FDOT's
specifications.
c. The FDOT may unilaterally cancel this Agreement for refusal by the UAO to allow public access
to all documents, papers, letters, or other material subject to the provisions of Chapter 119,
Florida Statutes, and made or received by the UAO in conjunction with this Agreement.
d. This Agreement constitutes the complete and final expression of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, or negotiations with
respect thereto, except that the parties understand and agree that the FDOT has manuals and
written policies and procedures which may be applicable at the time of the Project and the

1. The following requirement is added in full to the above referenced project:
"Buy America"Appendix
(Applies to Materials Supplied by the UAO)
"Buy America" Material Certification Requirements: The UAO will only use steel and iron produced in the United
States, in accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. The UAO will ensure that all
manufacturing processes for this material occur in the United States. As used in this provision, a manufacturing
process is any process that modifies the chemical content,physical shape or size,or final finish of a product,beginning
with the initial melding and mixing and continuing through the bending and coating stages.A manufactured steel or
iron product is complete only when all grinding, drilling, welding, finishing and coating have been completed. If a
domestic product is taken outside the United States for any process, it becomes foreign source material. These
requirements are applicable to all steel and iron materials incorporated into the finished work, but are not applicable
to steel and iron items that are not incorporated into the finished work.The UAO will provide a certification from the
producer of steel or iron,or any product containing steel or iron as a component,stating that all steel or iron furnished
or incorporated into the furnished product was manufactured in the United States in accordance with the
requirements of this specification and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended.Such certification
shall also include a statement that the product was produced entirely within the United States.The UAO will furnish
each such certification to the Florida Department of Transportation prior to incorporating the material into the

e. The UAO shall remove the Facilities at the request of the FDOT in the event that the FDOT
determines that removal is necessary for FDOT use of the right of way or in the event that the
FDOT determines that use of the right of way is needed for other active utilities that cannot be
otherwise accommodated in the right of way. In the event that the out of service Facilities would
have qualified for reimbursement only under Section 337.403(1)(a), Florida Statutes, removal
shall be at the sole cost and expense of the UAO and without any right of the UAO to object or

hazardous substance or material in or discharging from the Facilities. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be interpreted to require the UAO to indemnify the FDOT for the FDOT's own negligence;
however, it is the intent that all other costs and expenses of any nature be the responsibility of the
UAO.

more of the following options:

c. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party from any obligations it has pursuant to
other agreements between the parties nor from any statutory obligations that either party may
have with regard to the subject matter hereof.
7. Force Majeure
Neither the UAO nor the FDOT shall be liable to the other for any failure to perform under this Agreement
to the extent such performance is prevented by an act of God, war, riots, natural catastrophe, or other
event beyond the control of the non-performing party and which could not have been avoided or overcome
by the exercise of due diligence; provided that the party claiming the excuse from performance has (a)
promptly notified the other party of the occurrence and its estimated duration, (b) promptly remedied or
mitigated the effect of the occurrence to the extent possible, and (c) resumed performance as soon as
possible.
8. Indemnification
FOR GOVERNMENT-OWNED UTILITIES,
To the extent provided by law, the UAO shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the FDOT and all of
its officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of
any acts, action, error, neglect, or omission by the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors during the
performance of the Agreement, whether direct or indirect, and whether to any person or property to which
FDOT or said parties may be subject, except that neither the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors
will be liable under this section for damages arising out of the injury or damage to persons or property
directly caused by or resulting from the negligence of the FDOT or any of its officers, agents, or
employees during the performance of this Agreement.
When the FDOT receives a notice of claim for damages that may have been caused by the UAO in the
performance of services required under this Agreement, the FDOT will immediately forward the claim to
the UAO. The UAO and the FDOT will evaluate the claim and report their findings to each other within
fourteen (14) working days and will jointly discuss options in defending the claim. After reviewing the
claim, the FDOT will determine whether to require the participation of the UAO in the defense of the claim
or to require the UAO to defend the FDOT in such claim as described in this section. The FDOT's failure
to notify the UAO of a claim shall not release the UAO from any of the requirements of this section. The
FDOT and the UAO will pay their own costs for the evaluation, settlement negotiations, and trial, if any.
However, if only one party participates in the defense of the claim at trial, that party is responsible for all
costs.

FOR NON-GOVERNMENT-OWNED UTILITIES,
The UAO shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and
employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of any acts, action, error,
neglect, or omission by the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors during the performance of the
Agreement, whether direct or indirect, and whether to any person or property to which FDOT or said
parties may be subject, except that neither the UAO, its agents, employees, or contractors will be liable
under this section for damages arising out of the injury or damage to persons or property directly caused
by or resulting from the negligence of the FDOT or any of its officers, agents, or employees during the
performance of this Agreement.
The UAO's obligation to indemnify, defend, and pay for the defense or at the FDOT's option, to
participate and associate with the FDOT in the defense and trial of any damage claim or suit and any
related settlement negotiations, shall arise within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the UAO of the FDOT's
notice of claim for indemnification to the UAO. The notice of claim for indemnification shall be served by
certified mail. The UAO's obligation to defend and indemnify within fourteen (14) days of such notice
shall not be excused because of the UAO's inability to evaluate liability or because the UAO evaluates
liability and determines the UAO is not liable or determines the FDOT is solely negligent. Only a final
