as the "COUNTY", whose mailing address is: c/o Miami -Dade Water and Sewer
Department, P.O. Box 330316, Miami, Florida 33233-0316, and CITY OF MIAMI, a
Florida municipal corporation, hereinafter designated as the "CITY", whose mailing
address is: 444 S.W. 2 Avenue, Suite 325, Miami, Florida 33130.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the CITY desires to water and sewer service to be rendered to
property owned by the CITY, and
WHEREAS, the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department, hereinafter
designated as the "DEPARTMENT", operates the water and sewer systems owned by
the COUNTY.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants entered into
between the parties hereto to be made and performed and in consideration of the benefits
to accrue to each of the respective parties, it is covenanted and agreed to as follows:
1. CITY'S PROPERTY. The CITY owns a certain tract of land in Miami -Dade
County, Florida, which is legally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a
part hereof, hereinafter sometimes described as the "CITY'S property". The CITY has
requested that the DEPARTMENT render water and sewer service to the CITY'S property
and the COUNTY agrees to do so subject to the terms, covenants and conditions
contained herein.
2. WAIVER. No delay or failure to exercise a right under this Agreement or
any other Agreement shall impair or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof. No waiver
or indulgence of any breach of this Agreement or series of breaches shall be deemed or
construed as a waiver of any other breach of same or as voiding or altering any other
obligation of the parties under this Agreement or any other Agreement. No order or
directive given by the COUNTY or its agents shall be considered as waiving any portion
of this Agreement unless done in writing by a person having actual authority to grant such
Page 2 of 16
DORSEY LIBRARY, ID# 23235
waiver.
3. CITY ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The CITY hereby acknowledges and agrees
that any right to connect the CITY'S property to the COUNTY'S sewer system is subject
to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in court orders, judgments, consent
orders, consent decrees and the like entered into between the COUNTY and the United
States, the State of Florida and/or any other governmental entity, including but not limited
to, the Consent Decree entered on April 9, 2014, in the United States of America, State
of Florida and State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection v. Miami -Dade
County, Case No. 1:12-cv-24400-FAM, as well as all other current, subsequent or future
enforcement and regulatory actions and proceedings.
4. PROVISION OF SERVICE AND CONNECTION CHARGES. The
COUNTY will provide an adequate domestic water supply for the CITY'S property and
will receive and dispose of sanitary sewage from the CITY 'S property. The CITY shall
pay water and sewer connection charges for all those units to be constructed on the CITY
'S property subject to the limitations specified herein. The CITY acknowledges that, to
the extent that water or sewer service will ultimately be rendered to the CITY 'S property
by a volume customer, the CITY is a new retail user provided water or sewer service from
a volume customer, and acknowledges that it is responsible for payment of connection
charges; however, in the event that water or sewer service is provided directly by the
COUNTY, the CITY acknowledges that it is a new retail customer of the COUNTY and
accordingly also liable for payment of connection charges. The CITY may be considered
both a new retail customer and a new retail user provided service by a volume customer
in the event that the COUNTY provides water service to the CITY'S property and a volume
customer provides sewer service, or vice -versa. The connection charges are based on
the average daily gallons for the various building units and/or use as shown on Exhibit
"B" attached hereto and made a part hereof, and as revised by the COUNTY from time
to time, multiplied by the applicable rates established by the COUNTY. The CITY intends
to remodel two thousand sixty (2,060) square feet of library, currently connected to the
COUNTY'S water and sewer systems, representing no net increase in the daily
gallonage, resulting in no additional combined water and sewer connection charges.
However, water and sewer connection charges shall be calculated at the rates in effect
at the time of actual connection to the COUNTY'S water and sewer systems. The
DEPARTMENT'S current connection charge rates are one dollar and thirty-nine cents
($1.39) and five dollars and sixty cents ($5.60) per gallon per day for water and sewer,
respectively. The water and sewer connection charge rates are subject to revision by the
Board of County Commissioners at any time. The CITY shall pay fees and/or charges
Page 3 of 16
DORSEY LIBRARY, ID# 23235
specified herein at the time of issuance of Verifications Form(s). The DEPARTMENT shall
not, under any circumstances, render water and/or sewer service to the CITY'S property
until such time as the fees and/or charges specified herein have been paid in full.
5. OTHER USES ON THE PROPERTY. If the CITY constructs buildings
other than those outlined in paragraph 4 above, or otherwise changes the use of
structures built such that paragraph 4 is no longer an accurate description of the uses at
the CITY'S property, the COUNTY shall determine if additional capacity is needed, as
calculated using Exhibit "B" attached hereto and as revised by the COUNTY from time
to time. If additional capacity is required, connection charges, computed at prevailing
rates, capacity allocation, if available, and construction connection charges, if any, shall
be required to be paid by the CITY. If requested by the DEPARTMENT, the CITY shall
provide the COUNTY a list of all tenants and building units and/or use prior to the
installation of any water meters and/or rendition of sewer service by the COUNTY for the
CITY'S property.
6. POINTS OF CONNECTION. The DEPARTMENT shall provide points of
connection to the CITY based on the project as specified in the Agreement. The CITY
shall provide plans for the DEPARTMENT'S review based on the points of connection.
Points of connection shall not be changed without prior approval by the DEPARTMENT.
7. BISCAYNE BASIN SANITARY SEWER SPECIAL CONNECTION
CHARGE. The COUNTY hereby represents and the CITY acknowledges that the gravity
sewer basin that will serve the CITY'S property, at the present time may not meet
COUNTY criteria for conveying additional flows, including those of the proposed
development within the CITY'S property as specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereinabove.
The COUNTY intends to construct the necessary improvements, and has adopted a
special connection charge to pay for the construction of necessary improvements in
accordance with COUNTY Ordinance No. 13-57. The CITY acknowledges and agrees
that it shall pay to the COUNTY said special connection charge in the amount of four
dollars and twenty-four cents ($4.24) per average daily gallon, for any development
beyond the credit as specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereinabove, to be connected to the
COUNTY'S sewer system, due prior to the issuance of a Verification Form. Said payment
shall be a condition precedent to any obligation on the part of the COUNTY to provide
service to the property. Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing contained herein shall
obligate the COUNTY to provide service to the property if said service is in contravention
to any consent order or agreed order to which the COUNTY is a party, or of any rule or
statute. The DEPARTMENT makes no representations as to the likely date the
Page 4 of 16
DORSEY LIBRARY, ID# 23235
referenced improvements will be placed into service, and the CITY shall have no cause
of action, at law or equity, against the COUNTY arising out of the construction of said
improvements.
8. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES. The CITY at its own
cost and expense shall cause to be designed, constructed and installed all of the
necessary water and/or sewer facilities provided for in this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. The facilities shall include any and all water mains, valves, fittings, fire
hydrants, firelines, service connections, service lines, shutoffs, meter boxes, air release
valves, gravity sewer mains, laterals, manholes and all appurtenances thereto for a
complete installation. The final design and construction of the facilities shall meet the
requirements set forth in the latest revision of the DEPARTMENT'S "Rules and
Regulations" for water and sewer service, shall be in accordance with the latest revision
of the DEPARTMENT'S "Design and Construction Standard Specifications and Details",
and shall be subject to approval by the DEPARTMENT.
9. INSPECTION. The COUNTY shall have the right but not the obligation to
make engineering inspections of all the construction work performed by the CITY under
the terms of this Agreement including private facilities not to be conveyed to the COUNTY.
Such inspections shall not be construed to constitute any guarantee on the part of the
COUNTY as to the quality and condition of materials and workmanship. Any inspections
by the DEPARTMENT shall not relieve the CITY of any responsibility for proper
construction of said facilities in accordance with approved plans and specifications.
Furthermore, any inspections by the DEPARTMENT shall not relieve the CITY of
responsibility for the quality and condition of materials and workmanship.
10. TESTS. During construction and at the time when various tests are
required, the COUNTY'S engineer or its authorized representative, together with the
CITY'S engineer and contractor, shall jointly be present to witness tests for determination
of conformance with approved plans and specifications. The CITY shall notify the
COUNTY a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the tests.
11. CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS. The COUNTY reserves the right to
schedule construction meetings with the CITY'S representatives (Engineer, Project
Manager, Construction Superintendent and others) at a place designated by the
COUNTY with respect to project related matters upon twenty-four (24) hours' notice.

12. SUBCONTRACTORS AND CONSULTANTS. The COUNTY reserves the
right, at any time, to bar any subcontractor or consultant employed by the CITY from
engaging in any sort of work or activity related to this Agreement, if such be in the interests
of the COUNTY. In the event the COUNTY rejects any subcontractor or consultant, said
subcontractor or consultant will immediately cease work on anything related to this
Agreement. The CITY shall not be entitled to compensation for any monies previously
paid to any subcontractor or consultant if said subcontractor or consultant is rejected by
the COUNTY.
13. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS. The CITY, at its own cost and expense,
shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, rules, and ordinances in carrying out the
activities contemplated herein.
14. APPROVALS AND PERMITS. The CITY shall be fully responsible for
obtaining all required approvals from all appropriate governmental and regulatory
agencies and all necessary permits for all facilities contemplated in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not
constitute or be interpreted as a waiver of any requirements of any other agency of Miami -
Dade County and/or any requirements of the Code of Miami -Dade County. The CITY is
responsible for obtaining all permits as may be required for the work contemplated herein
pursuant to the Code of Miami -Dade County.
15. COUNTY AS PERMITTEE. Certain federal, state and county agencies,
including but not limited to the State of Florida Department of Transportation, the South
Florida Water Management District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida
East Coast Railroad may require that the COUNTY be named as permittee for certain
construction activities even though the CITY or the CITY'S contractor will actually perform
the work. To insure that the COUNTY will incur no costs or liability as a result of being
named permittee on such permits, the CITY shall provide sufficient security as acceptable
to the COUNTY which shall indemnify and protect the COUNTY from all claims, actions,
judgments, liability, loss, cost and expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, related
to work performed by the CITY pursuant to such permits. The security shall be furnished
prior to the start of construction and shall be in an amount equal to the COUNTY'S cost
estimate for the permit work. The CITY shall have sixty (60) days to resolve any claims
by a permittor. Otherwise, the DEPARTMENT shall be entitled to pay said claims from
the security. The CITY shall be liable for all costs in excess of the security.

DORSEY LIBRARY, ID# 23235
16. WATER SERVICE LINES. Any water service lines two (2) inches or less
in diameter that are required for the CITY'S property which will be directly connected to
existing mains owned by the COUNTY shall be installed by COUNTY personnel only.
The CITY hereby agrees to pay to the COUNTY its standard water service line installation
charge, permit fees and service fees prior to any such installation.
17. TREATMENT AND TRANSMISSION CAPACITY. in addition to the
covenants and conditions set forth herein, water and sewer service to be rendered by the
COUNTY is subject to the following:
a. Issuance of a valid operation permit by the State of Florida for the
COUNTY'S sewage treatment facility serving the CITY'S property which
allows additional connections,
b. Sufficient available capacity in the COUNTY'S sewer system and
connection approval, as specified in paragraph 3 herein,
c. Available water by the COUNTY.
However, in no event will the COUNTY be obligated to supply any more water or sewage
treatment capacity in any one year than is called for by the building connection schedule
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "C". Any variation from said
connection schedule which results in increased yearly demand on the water resources or
sewage treatment facility capacity of the COUNTY not specifically provided for in Exhibit
"C" shall be subject to the written approval and consent of the DEPARTMENT and shall
be dependent on the availability of the water resource and the various restrictions placed
on the supply of water or the disposal of sewage by local, state and federal government
agencies and the physical limitations on the COUNTY'S supply and treatment capacity.
If the CITY does not utilize the yearly amount of water or sewage treatment facility
allocation specified in Exhibit "C", said amount will be available to the CITY in the next
calendar year subject to the limitations and provisions specified herein.
18. ALLOCATION OF CAPACITY. The COUNTY agrees to include the
aforesaid allocation in its regional water supply, production and transmission facilities and
regional sanitary sewer system, once the CITY is granted necessary sewer allocation, as
specified in paragraph 4 hereinabove. However, it is mutually agreed and understood by
the COUNTY and the CITY that the allocation of capacity by the COUNTY does not
guarantee the ability of the COUNTY to supply water for the CITY'S property or the ability
to receive and dispose of sewage originating from the CITY'S property. Capacity
allocation is subject to local, state and federal agencies and other regulatory bodies
having jurisdiction. In connection therewith, the CITY agrees that the COUNTY shall not
Page 7 of 16
DORSEY LIBRARY, ID# 23235
be liable or in any way responsible for any costs, claims or losses incurred by the CITY
as a result of actions by regulatory bodies, which are related to capacity allocation.
19. FACILITIES EASEMENTS If the facilities contemplated herein or any
portion thereof are installed within private property outside of public right-of-way, the
facilities shall be installed in the center of a twelve (12) foot wide easement for water
facilities and fifteen (15) foot wide easement for sewer facilities. Both require a twenty-
five (25) foot minimum vertical clearance above the finished grade. The DEPARTMENT
shall have twenty-four (24) hour access to the easement for emergency purposes. If the
facilities are not located in platted easements, then easements shall be granted to the
COUNTY by the CITY prior to the COUNTY'S installation of a water meter and/or the
rendition of sewer service to the CITY'S property. The CITY may not place any pavers
or other structures in an easement area which would prevent the DEPARTMENT, at its
sole discretion, from making full use of the easement, and the CITY shall remove same,
at the CITY'S cost, at the direction of the COUNTY. The CITY may place pavers or other
structures in the easement area if such pavers or other structures can be removed, with
minimal effort by the DEPARTMENT, in the event that such pavers or other structures
need to be removed in order for the DEPARTMENT to make use of the easement; the
CITY places such pavers or other structures in the easement area at its own risk, and the
DEPARTMENT shall not be liable for any costs incurred by the CITY in replacing any
such pavers or other structures removed by the DEPARTMENT.
20. CONNECTION/FRONTAGE BY OTHERS. Parties other than the CITY
who own property, other than the CITY'S property, which has frontage to any water main
installed pursuant to this Agreement, may apply to the COUNTY for connections to said
water main. If said parties actually connect and/or abut said facilities, the COUNTY will
impose a construction connection charge equal to thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for the twelve
(12) inch water main, multiplied by the front foot length of the connecting/abutting property
which fronts and/or abuts the water main as measured along the route of the main. The
COUNTY will also impose construction connection charges on such other parties if said
water main is required, in accordance with guidelines and criteria established by the
DEPARTMENT, in order to provide adequate service for the fronting/abutting property.
Said construction connection charges will not be required or collected from other parties
for single-family residences occupied or under construction prior to the date of this
Agreement. The COUNTY shall repay said construction connection charges to the CITY
within ninety (90) days of receipt of same. However, the COUNTY'S liability for
repayment to the CITY shall be limited to those amounts actually collected from others.
This provision shall remain in effect for a period of twelve (12) years from the date of the
Page 8 of 16
DORSEY LIBRARY, ID# 23235

simple interest as established and authorized by Section 687.01, Florida Statutes, will
accrue on all construction connection charges from the date of the Absolute Bill of Sale
for the water main facilities constructed by the CITY to the date of payment by the
connecting/abutting party. The interest rate used shall be the rate established by Section
687.01, Florida Statutes, at the time of payment by the connecting/abutting party. It shall
be the CITY'S responsibility to provide the COUNTY with current mailing addresses
during the twelve (12) year period. In accordance with the DEPARTMENT'S "Schedule
of Water and Wastewater Fees and Charges" the DEPARTMENT shall retain a
"Developer Repayment Fee currently in the amount of 2.5%0 of the gross repayment
amount established herein. This fee is subject to revision by the Board of County
Commissioners at any time. The fee percentage used will be the current rate at the time
of the payment.
21. CONVEYANCE OF TITLE. Conveyance of all easements shall be by
separate instruments in recordable form as approved by the COUNTY and shall be
accompanied by a written opinion of title by an attorney licensed to practice law in the
State of Florida, which states that the CITY is the owner of the property interest to be
conveyed, subject only to liens, encumbrances and restrictions as are acceptable to the
COUNTY. The opinion shall also state that upon execution by the CITY, a valid and
enforceable easement will be vested to the COUNTY. The CITY shall pay for all recording
fees and for all documentary stamps. The details for all conveyances are specified herein.
Failure of the CITY to provide proper conveyances shall be cause for the COUNTY to
refuse to render service to the CITY'S property.
22. DRAWINGS AND CONVEYANCE DOCUMENTS. Following completion
of the water and/or sewer facilities contemplated herein for COUNTY ownership, the
COUNTY shall provide a conveyance package for execution by the CITY. The properly
executed documents shall be delivered to and accepted by the COUNTY prior to the
rendition of water and/or sewer service by the COUNTY. The CITY shall pay for all
recording fees and for all documentary stamps. These conveyances shall be
accompanied by copies of paid bills and lien waivers, releases, or satisfactions from all
persons who performed work on the CITY'S property and all persons who incorporate
materials into the property, together with a breakdown of the actual cost of said facilities.

requirements set forth in the latest revision of the DEPARTMENT'S "Rules and
Regulations and shall be in accordance with the latest revision of the DEPARTMENT'S
"Design and Construction Standard Specifications and Details", and shall be subject to

drawings shall constitute final acceptance by the COUNTY of said facilities. After final
acceptance, the facilities shall remain at all times the sole, complete, and exclusive
property of the COUNTY and under the exclusive control and operation of the COUNTY.
23. WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE BOND. The CITY warrants that the
water facilities to be owned by the COUNTY shall be free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from final acceptance by the COUNTY.
Simultaneously with the conveyance of the water facilities, the CITY shall deliver to the

COUNTY as "Obligee". The Maintenance Bond shall remain in force for one (1) year
following the date of final acceptance by the COUNTY of the work done pursuant to this
Agreement to protect the COUNTY against losses resulting from any and all defects in
materials or improper performance of work. If there is no building construction underway

required to execute documents to Miami -Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic
Resources (RER) or State of Florida Department of Health (DOH), which state that the
COUNTY has accepted title to the facilities. If the COUNTY is required to execute such
documents, the CITY agrees to indemnify and hold the COUNTY harmless from and
against all claims, actions, judgments, damages, loss, cost and expense including
reasonable attorney's fees which may be incurred by the COUNTY in connection with the

of the DEPARTMENT shall not be required in connection with the sale, lease or other
conveyance of property or any residential units or commercial establishments to any party
who will be the ultimate user of the property, including but not limited to a bona fide
purchaser, lessee, resident or occupant. The intent of this paragraph is to require consent
of the DEPARTMENT for assignments or transfers of any water and sewage disposal
capacity allocation to any party who holds such property as an investment for resale or
who intends to develop for sale a portion of the CITY'S property, so that the COUNTY
can adequately determine the demand for water and sewage disposal capacity and plan
for the fair and equitable allocation of water and sewage disposal capacity among the
residents of Miami -Dade County. Consent, when required, shall not unreasonably be
withheld by the DEPARTMENT. If the CITY'S property is transferred or conveyed, the
CITY shall remain liable to the COUNTY for all sums of money and all obligations due
hereunder unless released in writing by the COUNTY.
32. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supersedes all previous
agreements and representations, whether oral or written, between the CITY and the
