REVOCABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This Revocable License Agreement (the "Agreement") is made this _ day of
2001, between the City of Miami (the "City") a municipal corporation of the State of Florida and
Lanzo Construction Co., Florida, a Florida corporation (the "Licensee").
WHEREAS, Licensee was hired by Miami -Dade County for the purpose of constructing
the sewer outfall line at Virginia Key; and
WHEREAS, Licensee has completed its work for Miami -Dade County but has
construction materials and equipment stored on approximately 4.8146 acres on Virginia Key; and
WHEREAS, Licensee is in the process of disposing of said materials and equipment and
is requesting permission to continue storing same during said disposal period in order to avoid -
the high cost of relocating the materials and equipment twice; and
WHEREAS, in order to carry out the intent as expressed herein and in consideration of
the mutual agreements subsequently contained, City and Licensee agree as follows:
1. Purpose.
The City is the owner of a parcel of vacant land consisting of approximately 4.8146 acres
located on Virginia Key, and depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the
"Area"). The City has determined that the Area is not needed at this time by any of the City's
offices or departments. The Licensee wishes to use the Area to continue to store the non-
hazardous construction materials and equipment presently on the site until such time as Licensee
is able to dispose of said materials and equipment (the "Permitted Use"). The City is willing to
assist the Licensee by temporarily authorizing the Licensee to occupy and use the Area for the
Permitted Use, under the conditions hereinafter set forth. Any use of the Area not authorized
under the Permitted Use must receive the prior written consent of the City Manager, which
consent may be withheld or conditioned for any or no reason, including, but not limited to
additional financial consideration.
ten
Licensee may from time to time, but no more than once each A� days, request that the
size of the Area be recalculated to reflect decreased storage requirements as Licensee disposes of
Page 1 of 20 01 227
the materials and equipment. Licensee shall provide ten (10) calendar days advance written
notice to the City Manager when exercising this right to reduce the Area and shall provide a scale
drawing depicting the portion of the Area that Licensee will continue to occupy. After expiration
of ten (10) calendar days from City's receipt of the written notice, and subject to the City's
determination of the size of the remaining occupied area, the Monthly Use Fee, as defined herein,
shall be reduced in accordance with the rate set forth in paragraph four commencing the first day
of the following month.
2. Occupancy And Use Period.
This Agreement shall commence as of September 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date") and shall
continue on a month-to-month basis until the first to occur of the following:
(a) Cancellation or termination by the express written agreement of the parties hereto; or -
(b) Cancellation or termination by request of either of the parties hereto, subject to the
notice provisions of Paragraph 20, "Cancellation By Request Of Either Of The Parties
Without Cause;" or
(c) Cancellation pursuant to Paragraph 21, "Termination By City Manager For Cause."
3. Interest Conferred By This Agreement.
Licensee agrees that this Agreement has been issued by the City to authorize Licensee to
occupy the Area solely for the limited purpose of the Permitted Use and no other purpose. The
parties hereby agree that the provisions of this Agreement do not constitute a lease and the rights
of Licensee hereunder are not those of a tenant but are a mere personal privilege to do certain
acts of a temporary character and to otherwise use the Area subject to the terms of this
Agreement. No leasehold interest in the Area is conferred upon Licensee under the provisions
hereof and Licensee does not and shall not claim at any time any leasehold estate or ownership
interest in the Area by virtue of this Agreement or its use of the Area hereunder. Additionally,
Licensee does not and shall not claim at any time any interest or estate of any kind or extent
whatsoever in the Area by virtue of any expenditure of funds by the Licensee for improvements,
construction, repairs, partitions, or alterations to the Area even if such improvements,
construction, repairs, partitions, or alterations are authorized by the City.
Page 2of20 01— 227
4. Use Fee.
In consideration of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay a use fee (the "Monthly Use
Fee") to the City, for each month, or portion thereof, that Licensee uses or occupies the Area.
Based on the current occupied area of 4.8146 acres, the current Monthly Use Fee is TWO
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWO DOLLARS AND THIRTY-EIGHT CENTS
($2,502.38), plus State Use Tax, if applicable.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to the City the
Monthly Use Fees for the seven month period from September 1, 2000 through March 30,
2001 totaling SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTEEN DOLLARS AND
SIXTY-SIX CENTS (the "Initial Payment"). Beginning April 1, 2001 and continuing each
month thereafter, Licensee shall pay the Monthly Use Fee in advance and in full on the first day -
of each month, without notice or demand. Payments shall be made payable to "City of Miami"
and shall be mailed to Finance Department, 444 S.W. 2nd Avenue, 6th Floor, Miami, Florida
33130, or such other address as may be designated from time to time.
If Licensee exercises the right to request that the size of the Area be recalculated as
equipment and materials are removed, the new Monthly Use Fee shall be determined by
multiplying the remaining occupied Area (as determined by the City) by FIVE HUNDRED
NINETEEN DOLLARS AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS ($519.75) per acre or portion thereof
(the "Rate"). Provided, however that the Rate shall be increased by five percent (5%) on each
Anniversary Date as defined in paragraph 9 below.
5. Late Fee.
In the event City does not receive any installment of the Monthly Use Fee within five
days of the date in which it was due, Licensee shall pay to City a late charge in an amount equal
to five percent (5%) of the Monthly Use Fee. Such late fee shall constitute additional fees due
and payable to City by Licensee upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced
above. Acceptance of such late charge by City shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of
Page 3 of 20
01- 227
Licensee's violations with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent City from the pursuit of
any remedy to which City may otherwise be entitled.
6. Returned Check Fee.
In the event any check is returned to the City as uncollectible, the Licensee shall pay to
City a returned check fee (the "Returned Check Fee") based on the following schedule:
Returned Amount Returned Check Fee
$00.01 - 50.00
$20.00
$50.01 - 300.00
$30.00
$300.01 - 800.00
$40.00
OVER $800
5% of the returned amount.
The Returned Check Fee shall constitute additional fees due and payable, to City by
Licensee, upon the date of payment of the delinquent payment referenced above. Acceptance of
Returned Check Fee by City shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of Licensee's violations with
respect to such overdue amount nor prevent City from the pursuit of any remedy to which City
may otherwise be entitled.
7. Security Deposit.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Licensee shall deposit with
City the sum of SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SEVEN DOLLARS AND
FOURTEEN CENTS ($7,507.14) (the "Security") as guarantee for the full and faithful
performance by Licensee of all obligations of Licensee under this Agreement or in connection
with this Agreement. If Licensee is in violation beyond any applicable notice or cure period, the
City may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security for the payment of (i) any fee or other
sum of money which Licensee was obligated to pay but did not pay, (ii) any sum expended by
City on Licensee's behalf in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) any sum
which City may expend or be required to expend as a result of Licensee's violation. The use,
application or retention of the Security or any portion thereof by City shall not prevent City from
Page 4 of 20 01— 227
exercising any other right or remedy provided for under this Agreement or at law and shall not
limit any recovery to which City may otherwise be entitled. At any time or times when City has
made any such application of all or any part of the Security Deposit, the Licensee shall deposit
the sum or sums equal to the amounts so applied by City within ten (10) calendar days of written
notice by the City of such application.
Provided Licensee is not in violation of this Agreement, the Security or balance thereof,
as the case may be, shall be returned to Licensee upon the termination of this Agreement or upon
any later date after which Licensee has vacated the Area in the same condition or better as existed
on the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Upon the return of the Security (or
balance thereof) to the Licensee, City shall be completely relieved of all liability with respect to
the Security. Licensee shall not be entitled to receive any interest on the Security.
8. Increase Of Security.
If Licensee is in violation under this Agreement more than two (2) times within any
twelve (12) month period, irrespective of whether or not such default is cured, then, without
limiting City's other rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, or at law or equity, the
Security shall automatically be increased by three (3) times the Security then required to be in
place. Licensee shall pay this increase to City forthwith on demand.
9. Adjustment To Monthly Fee And Security.
Commencing with the Monthly Use Fee due on September 1, 2001, and on each
September 1 thereafter (the "Anniversary Date(s)"), the Monthly Use Fee shall be
increased by five percent (5%). Commencing September 1, 2001, and on each September 1
thereafter, The Security shall be increased by five percent (5%) of the amount required to
have been on deposit the previous year. On each Anniversary Date the Licensee shall
remit payment to the City for the increased amount of the Security. Nothing in this
paragraph, or this agreement, shall be construed to grant Licensee the right to use or
occupy the Area for a term greater than on a month-to-month basis.
Page 5of20 ®i" 227

Licensee shall pay for all utilities and services, including but not limited to, electricity,

occupancy of the Area, as well as all costs for installation of any necessary lines and equipment.
Licensee, at its sole cost, shall install all utilities required for its use, install separate utility
meters, and shall be billed directly by the applicable utility company for such services. In the
event that the City is billed for any utility or service that is a result of Licensee's use of the Area,
the Licensee shall reimburse such amount to the City within five (5) calendar days of notification
of the City's receipt of said bill.
11. Condition Of The Area.
Licensee accepts the Area "as is", in its present condition and state of repair and without -
any representation by or on behalf of City, and agrees that City shall, under no circumstances, be
liable for any latent, patent or other defects in the Area. Licensee, at its sole cost, shall maintain
the Area in good order and repair at all times and in an attractive, clean, safe and sanitary
condition and shall suffer no waste or injury thereto. Licensee shall be responsible for all repairs
to the Area required or caused by Licensee's use of any part thereof.
Licensee agrees to make all changes necessary to the Area at Licensee's sole cost and
expense in order to comply with all City, County, State and Federal code requirements for
Licensee's use or occupancy thereof.
12. Alterations, Additions Or Replacements.
Except in the event of an emergency, Licensee shall not make any repair or
alteration required or permitted to be performed by Licensee without first receiving the
written approval of the City Manager, which approval may be conditioned or withheld for
any or no reason whatsoever. If City approves such request, no repair or alteration shall
be commenced until plans and specifications therefore shall have been submitted to and
approved by the City Manager. In the event of an emergency, Licensee may reasonably
proceed to perform such repair work and shall immediately notify City of such work.
Page 6of20 01r 2+27

operations in the Area which shall be issued by any public authority having or asserting
jurisdiction. Licensee shall promptly pay its contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen for all
work and labor done at Licensee's request. Should any lien, claim, or encumbrance be asserted or
filed, Licensee shall bond against or discharge the same regardless of validity, within ten (10)
calendar days of Licensee's receipt of notice of the filing of said lien, claim, or encumbrance. In
the event Licensee fails to remove or bond against said lien or claim in the full amount stated, the
City without obligation to do so, may bond, settle, or otherwise remove such lien or claim and
Licensee shall pay the City upon demand any amounts paid out by City to extinguish such claim -
or lien, including City's costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees. Licensee further agrees

expenses, including attorney's fees, of any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer or any
other third person with whom Licensee has contracted or otherwise is found liable, in respect to
the Area. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed, construed or interpreted to
imply any consent or agreement on the part of City to subject the City's interest or estate to any
liability under any mechanic's or other lien asserted by any contractor, subcontractor,
materialman or supplier against any part of the Area or any of the improvements thereon. All
contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, or other agreements involving the Area shall provide for

such entry. The City shall not be liable for any loss, cost or damage to the Licensee by reason of
the exercise by the City of the right of entry described herein for the purposes listed above. The

liability of any kind whatsoever nor relieve the Licensee of any responsibility, obligations or
liability assumed under this Agreement.
