NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived by the terms
of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:
4. The recitals in paragraphs 1-3 above are true and correct and are made a part of
this Agreement.
5. The COUNTY acknowledges that the DEPARTMENT will be utilizing federal
funds on the PROJECT and as a result thereof the COUNTY agrees to maintain the PROJECT in
perpetuity according to DEPARTMENT standards. The COUNTY further recognizes and
acknowledges that if the DEPARTMENT will be utilizing federal funds on the PROJECT, the
National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) process will need to be completed and the
DEPARTMENT reserves the right to adjust the plans and or design of the PROJECT to meet the
needs of the permits. The COUNTY agrees to fully cooperate in the provision of any and all
studies and or data that may be necessary for the NEPA process and for all other permit matters.
6. The COUNTY acknowledges and agrees that the right of way, and the
improvements located within the right of way, are and will remain under the ownership of the
COUNTY and that the DEPARTMENT will not have any ownership interest in the right of way,
improvements located thereon. Notwithstanding the requirements hereof, maintenance during
construction shall be the responsibility of the DEPARTMENT and its contractor.
7. Upon completion of the PROJECT, the DEPARTMENT shall issue a Notice of
Final Acceptance to the contractor with a copy of said notice being provided to the COUNTY.
Upon issuance of the Notice of Final Acceptance, the COUNTY shall be immediately
responsible for the perpetual maintenance of the PROJECT. The DEPARTMENT shall also
have the right to assign interim maintenance responsibility to the COUNTY for specified
portions of the PROJECT before the issuance of the Notice of Final Acceptance. Said
assignment of maintenance responsibility shall be sent by the DEPARTMENT to the COUNTY
in writing with sufficient description to place the COUNTY on notice of the interim maintenance
responsibility. Notwithstanding the issuance of the Notice of Final Acceptance, the
DEPARTMENT shall have the right to assure completion of any punch list by the contractor.
Additionally, the COUNTY understands and agrees that the DEPARTMENT shall transfer all
permits to the COUNTY as the operational maintenance entity and the COUNTY agrees to
accept said transfer and to become fully responsible to comply with all operational and
maintenance conditions of the permits.
8. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date both parties hereto have
executed the Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the PROJECT is
completed by the DEPARTMENT and the improvements have been turned over to the
COUNTY by the DEPARTMENT by formal notice from the DEPARTMENT. The
DEPARTMENT reserves the right to unilaterally cancel its performance hereunder if it
determines that it is in the best interest of the public to do so. This discretion shall include, but
shall not be limited to budgetary and bid cost considerations.

9. Pursuant to Section 287.058, Florida Statutes, the DEPARTMENT may
unilaterally cancel this Agreement for refusal by the COUNTY 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 COUNTY in conjunction with this Agreement except for
the obligation of the COUNTY to maintain the PROJECT and said Agreement shall be perpetual
as to that obligation.
10. It is understood that the DEPARTMENT’s participation in said PROJECT is
subject to Legislative approval of the DEPARTMENT’s appropriation request in the work
program year that the PROJECT is scheduled.
11. The DEPARTMENT’s performance and obligations to pay under this Agreement
is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature. If the DEPARTMENT’s funding
for this PROJECT is in multiple years, funds approved from the DEPARTMENT’S Comptroller
must be received every year prior to costs being incurred.
12. In the event this Agreement is in excess of $25,000.00 and has a term for a period
of more than one year, the provisions of Section 339.135(6)(a), Florida Statutes are hereby
incorporated:
“The Department, during any fiscal year, shall not expend money, incur any
liability, or enter into any contract which, by its terms, involves the expenditure of
money in excess of the amounts budgeted as available for expenditure during
such fiscal year. Any contract, verbal or written, made in violation of this
subsection is null and void, and no money may be paid on such contract. The
department shall require a statement from the comptroller of the Department that
funds are available prior to entering into any such contract or other binding
commitment of funds. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the making of
contracts for periods exceeding 1 year but any contract so made shall be
executory only for the value of the services to be rendered or agreed to be paid in
succeeding fiscal years, and this paragraph shall be incorporated verbatim in all
contracts of the Department which are for an amount in excess of $25,000.00 and
which have a term for a period of more than 1 year.”
13. 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.
14. In the event there are cost overruns, supplemental agreements (specifically
incurred in the areas located off the State Highway System), and or liquidated damages not
eligible to be paid for by federal funds due to the Federal Highway Administration determining
that said costs are non-participating costs, the COUNTY shall be responsible for one-hundred
percent (100%) of the funds required to make up the shortfall not paid by federal funds. The
PROJECT is off of the “State Highway System,” therefore, in accordance with Section
339.08(1), F.S., State funding cannot be used for payments of non-participating costs on this
PROJECT. (Examples of non-participating items could be fishing piers; premium costs due to

design or CEI errors or omissions; material or equipment called for in the plans but not used in
the construction, as referenced in the Federal Aid Policy Guide 23, CFR Section 635.120).
a. Should such shortfalls occur due to a determination that said costs are non-
participating, the COUNTY agrees to provide, without delay, a deposit within
fourteen (14) calendar days of notification from the DEPARTMENT, to
ensure that cash on deposit with the DEPARTMENT is sufficient to fully fund
the shortfall. The DEPARTMENT shall notify the COUNTY as soon as it
becomes apparent there is a shortfall; however, failure of the DEPARTMENT
to so notify the COUNTY shall not relieve the COUNTY of its obligation to
pay for its full participation of non-participating costs during the PROJECT
and on final accounting, as provided herein below. If the COUNTY cannot
provide the deposit within fourteen (14) days, a letter must be submitted to
and approved by the DEPARTMENT’S contract manager indicating when the
deposit will be made. The COUNTY understands the request and approval of
the additional time could delay the PROJECT, and additional non-
participating costs may be incurred due to the delay of the PROJECT.
The DEPARTMENT intends to have its final and complete accounting of all costs
incurred in connection with the work performed hereunder within three hundred sixty
days (360) of final payment to the
