agree as follows:

funds for any expense that are not approved, by the CRA, and that such expenses shall be borne solely by the
Grantee. The CRA shall review said requests to ensure that the expense sought to be incurred by the Grantee is an
expense within the scope of work and budget attached hereto as Exhibit "B". The CRA reserves the right to deny
any and all requests for disbursement for expenses it deems to be outside of the scope of work and budget, and
such expenses shall be borne solely by the Grantee.

budget modifications, in writing, including line item expenditures which exceed budgeted amount, to the Executive
Director.
e. CASH TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The parties agree that no payment will be made

transaction is insufficient per se to comply with record -keeping requirements under this Agreement.

or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials or equipment which have not been delivered
to the Grantee for use in connection with the Project.

Scope of Work and Budget
1. Electrical and Fees- Fees for installing electric to side 'A' on our site plan. To include 480 three
phase power with transformer box, permits and FPL. This partial installation will allow us to
have power to bar, kitchen and dining areas and other areas on side "A."
2. Water Plumbing and fees: This is for plumbing to the kitchen and bar and assumes hook up to
existing services.
3. Furniture and Fixtures: To include bar and patio lighting that will allow us to open our bar for
happy hour and other small events.
4. Hanger Structure Main Pavilion: This structure will connect and enclose our bar with the kitchen
and dining boxes proposed for "Goodbread Alley" a new concept of LiI Greenhouse Grill to be
housed at The Urban.
5. Construction Hanger and anchoring fees are general contracting fees for above.
6. Sound System- For streaming music and microphone for patio/pavilion area.
7. Raw container sound curtain= We proposed to buy 16 raw and unfinished shipping containers as
a sound barrier to apartments on either side of the event area or Side "B."
We deem this to be necessary in order to accommodate events after 10:30 pm on Side B. In
addition, these raw containers will serve as storage for the site and an art project for local
school children. The may also be used for some 'pop-up' market type events where
appropriate.
8. This will purchase about 2,500 square feet of Astro turf at approximately 3.50 per sq. ft. with
padding. This will cover 1,480 square feet of ground between the bar and the Kitchen, dining
bar with the remaining covering the outside eating area proposed by Goodbread Alley.

PHILANTHROPIES
We are currently employing or causing to be employed 2 maintenance persons with 3 additional
part time workers, and several security personnel from Overtown. This would allow us to
employ another 5 bar tenders along with the personnel that Goodbread Alley plans to hire.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your consideration. I believe that The Urban
holds significant promise of becoming one of Overtown's premier venues in the Entertainment
District.
Sincerely,
