Payment of the funds pursuant to this paragraph will be made (choose one): ❑ directly to the FDOT for deposit into the State Transportation Trust Fund. ® as provided in the attached Memorandum of Agreement between UAO, FDOT and the State of Florida, Department of Financial Services, Division of Treasury. Deposits of less than $100,000.00 must be pre-approved by the Department of Financial Services and FDOT Comptroller's Office prior to execution of this agreement. e. If the portion of the contractor's bid selected by the FDOT for performance of the Utility Work exceeds the amount of the deposit made pursuant to Subparagraph c. above, then subject to and in accordance with the limitations and conditions established by Subparagraph 2. c. hereof regarding FDOT participation in the cost of the Utility Work and the UAO's election to remove the 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 not relieve the UAO from its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting as provided herein below. In the event that the UAO is obligated under this Subparagraph 3.e. to pay an additional amount and the additional amount that the UAO is obligated to pay does not exceed the Contingency Fund already on deposit, the UAO shall have sixty (60) calendar days from notification from the FDOT to pay the additional amount, regardless of when the accepted bid is posted. f. If the accepted bid amount plus allowances and contingency is less than the advance deposit amount, the FDOT will refund the amount that the advance deposit exceeds the bid amount, plus allowances and contingency if such refund is requested by the UAO in writing and approved by the Comptroller of the FDOT or his designee. 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 of quantity overruns or because of adjustments or changes in the Utility Work made pursuant to Subparagraph 2. h. Prior to using any of the Contingency Fund, the FDOT will obtain the written 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.

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 the invoice is paid. 4. Claims Against UAO a.

The FDOT may withhold payment of surplus funds to the UAO until final resolution (including any actual payment required)of all claims relating to the Utility Work. The right to withhold shall be limited to actual claim payments made by the FDOT to the FDOT's contractor. 5. Out of Service Facilities No Facilities shall be placed out of service unless specifically identified as such in the Plans. The following terms and conditions shall apply to Facilities placed Out-of-Service: a. The UAO acknowledges its present and continuing ownership of and responsibility for out of service Facilities. b. The FDOT agrees to allow the UAO to leave the Facilities within the right of way subject to the continuing satisfactory performance of the conditions of this Agreement by the UAO.

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 estimate 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 Page 7 of 9 STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 710-01x2: UTILITY WORK BY HIGHWAY CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT OGC'L 51112 (AT UTILITY EXPENSE) 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 a. Time is of essence in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. b. The Facilities shall at all times remain the property of and be properly protected and maintained by the UAO in accordance with the current Utility Accommodation Manual in effect at the time the Plans Package is prepared and the current utility permit for the Facilities; provided, however, that 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 relocation of the Facilities. e. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any provision hereof found to be unlawful or unenforceable shall be severable and shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof. f. All notices required pursuant to the terms hereof may be sent by first class United States Mail, facsimile transmission, hand delivery, or express mail and shall be deemed to have been received by the end of five business days from the proper sending thereof unless proof of prior actual receipt is provided.
