The Black Archives shall be responsible to see that all required permitting and approvals for proposed construction shall be obtained and that the proper Notice of Commencement shall be recorded with Miami -Dade County prior to the start of actual construction. 2. The grant amount of $97,000.00 by the SEOPW CRA is ail inclusive and no additional funding shall be provided by the SEOPW CRA nor will additional funding for this project be sought from the SEOPW CRA by The Black Archives for this project. The Black Archives shall be fully responsible to see that this project is completed to the satisfaction of the SEOPW CRA in a timely fashion with no lagging due to lack of funds. The SEOPW CRA reserves the right to inspect the work being performed on the SEOPW owned parcel and retains the right to accept or reject the quality of work being performed. 3.

Permission is granted to The Black Archives to make the necessary improvements to the SEOPW CRA owned parcel of land adjacent to the Lyric Theater for the purpose of this project with the strict understanding that the ownership of this parcel remains with the SEOPW CRA unless, and until, the SEOPW CRA Board of Directors decides, through official action, to dispose of said parcel through a lawfully approved process for said disposition. It is to be clear that there is no commitment on behalf of the SEOPW Board of Directors that this parcel is to be conveyed to The Black Archives or to the Lyric Theater and that the permission given to make surface improvements to this parcel in no way obligates the SEOPW CRA to continue the use of said property as part of the Lyric Plaza. In addition, The Black Archives/Lyric Theater is to obtain General Liability insurance, at their expense, in an amount acceptable to the Risk Manager for the City of Miami naming the City of Miami and the SEOPW CRA as additional insureds and said insurance is to be kept in full force and effect as long as the 'Lyric Plaza' is in place and utilized by the Black Archives/Lyric Theater.
