THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into at Miami -Dade County, Florida,
this day of , 2019, by and between Miami -Dade
County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, hereinafter designated as the
"COUNTY", whose mailing address is: c/o Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department, P.O.
Box 330316, Miami, Florida 33233-0316, and LINDEN AIRPORT SERVICES
CORPORATION, a Florida corporation, hereinafter designated as the "DEVELOPER",
whose mailing address is: 1020 MacArthur Causeway, Miami, Florida 33132.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the DEVELOPER desires water and sewer service to be rendered to
property owned by the City of Miami and leased by the DEVELOPER, 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. DEVELOPER'S PROPERTY. The DEVELOPER leases a certain tract of
land in Miami -Dade County, Florida, from the City of Miami, under a Sublease Agreement,
subtitled (Watson Island Heliport Project) dated October 9, 2013, (assigned to the City of
Miami after dissolution of the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority) , which is legally
described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof, hereinafter sometimes
described as the "DEVELOPER'S property". The DEVELOPER has requested that the
DEPARTMENT render water and sewer service to the DEVELOPER'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
waiver.
3. DEVELOPER ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The DEVELOPER hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any right to connect the DEVELOPER'S property to the
COUNTY'S sewage 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 DEVELOPER'S property and will
receive and dispose of sanitary sewage from the DEVELOPER'S property. The
DEVELOPER shall pay water and sewer connection charges for all those units to be
constructed on the DEVELOPER'S property subject to the limitations specified herein. The
DEVELOPER acknowledges that, to the extent that water or sewer service will ultimately
be rendered to the DEVELOPER'S property by a volume customer, the DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER
acknowledges that it is a new retail customer of the COUNTY and accordingly also liable
for payment of connection charges. The DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER'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 DEVELOPER intends
to construct and connect to the COUNTY'S water and sewer systems four thousand three
hundred twenty (4,320) square feet of temporary office trailers, representing an average
daily gallonage of two hundred sixteen (216) gallons, replacing vacant land, resulting in
combined water and sewer connection charges in the amount of one thousand five hundred
nine dollars and eighty-four cents ($1,509.84). 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
DEVELOPER shall pay fees and/or charges 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 DEVELOPER'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 DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER'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 DEVELOPER. If requested by the DEPARTMENT, the
Page 3 of 15
WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER'S property.
6. POINTS OF CONNECTION. The DEPARTMENT shall provide points of
connection to the DEVELOPER based on the project as specified in the Agreement. The
DEVELOPER 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. REMOVAL/RELOCATION OF FACILITIES. The DEVELOPER hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any existing COUNTY water and/or sewer facilities and all
appurtenances including fire hydrants within the DEVELOPER'S property that will conflict
with proposed development must be removed and/or relocated, and all easements
associated with said facilities released and/or relocated. Said relocation and/or removal of
facilities shall be performed by or for the DEVELOPER in accordance with plans and
specifications to be approved by the COUNTY and in such a manner that there will be no
interruption of services to the COUNTY'S existing customers. All costs incurred shall be
borne solely by the DEVELOPER. The removal and/or relocation of certain water and/or
sewer facilities and releasing and/or relocating of associated easements are conditions
precedent to the issuance of water and sewer verification forms for construction of those
proposed buildings that conflict with said water and/or sewer facilities, unless the
DEPARTMENT is able to protect its facilities and/or associated easements through a "hold"
on the foundation inspection that is issued in conjunction with Miami -Dade Department of
Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER). The determination of the availability for
placement of said hold shall be within the sole discretion of the DEPARTMENT. Those
projects that are not within the jurisdiction of the COUNTY'S building permitting process
shall not be eligible for consideration of that hold.
8. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES. The DEVELOPER 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/or 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 DEVELOPER
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
Page 4 of 15
WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
inspections by the DEPARTMENT shall not relieve the DEVELOPER 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
DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER'S
engineer and contractor, shall jointly be present to witness tests for determination of
conformance with approved plans and specifications. The DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER'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 DEVELOPER
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 DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER, 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 DEVELOPER 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
DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER or the DEVELOPER'S contractorwill
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 DEVELOPER 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
Page 5 of 15
WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
attorney's fees, related to work performed by the DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER shall be liable for all
costs in excess of the security.
16. WATER SERVICE LINES. Any water service lines two (2) inches or less in
diameter that are required for the DEVELOPER'S property which will be directly connected
to existing mains owned by the COUNTY shall be installed by COUNTY personnel only.
The DEVELOPER 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. OWNERSHIP OF WATER METER. The COUNTY shall own and install the
required water meter as a part of any water service installation. Ownership by the
COUNTY shall terminate at the outlet side of each water meter. The DEVELOPER shall
pay all applicable installation fees.
18. BISCAYNE BASIN SANITARY SEWER SPECIAL CONNECTION CHARGE.
The COUNTY hereby represents and the DEVELOPER acknowledges that the gravity
sewer basin that will serve the DEVELOPER'S property, at the present time may not meet
COUNTY criteria for conveying additional flows, including those of the proposed
development within the DEVELOPER'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 DEVELOPER
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, as
specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereinabove, to be connected to the COUNTY'S sewer
system, resulting in a total special connection charge of nine hundred fifteen dollars and
eighty-four cents ($915.84), 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 referenced
improvements will be placed into service, and DEVELOPER shall have no cause of action,
at law or equity, against the COUNTY arising out of the construction of said improvements.
19. 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 DEVELOPER'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,
Page 6 of 15
WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
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 DEVELOPER does not utilize the yearly amount of water or sewage treatment facility
allocation specified in Exhibit "C", said amount will be available to the DEVELOPER in the
next calendar year subject to the limitations and provisions specified herein.
20. 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 DEVELOPER is granted necessary sewer
allocation, as specified in paragraph 4 hereinabove. However, it is mutually agreed and
understood by the COUNTY and the DEVELOPER that the allocation of capacity by the
COUNTY does not guarantee the ability of the COUNTY to supply water for the
DEVELOPER'S property or the ability to receive and dispose of sewage originating from
the DEVELOPER'S property. Capacity allocation is subject to local, state and federal
agencies and other regulatory bodies having jurisdiction. In connection therewith, the
DEVELOPER agrees that the COUNTY shall not be liable or in any way responsible for any
costs, claims or losses incurred by the DEVELOPER as a result of actions by regulatory
bodies, which are related to capacity allocation.
21. 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 a
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 from the City of Miami shall be
delivered to the COUNTY by the DEVELOPER prior to the COUNTY'S installation of a
water meter and/or the rendition of sewer service to the DEVELOPER'S property. The
DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER shall remove same, at the DEVELOPER'S cost, at the
direction of the COUNTY. The DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER in replacing
any such pavers or other structures removed by the DEPARTMENT.

WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
22. CONNECTION/FRONTAGE BY OTHERS. Parties other than the
DEVELOPER who own property, other than the DEVELOPER'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 DEVELOPER within ninety (90) days of receipt of same. However, the
COUNTY'S liability for repayment to the DEVELOPER 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 Absolute Bill of Sale for the water main facilities constructed
by the DEVELOPER. Per annum 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 DEVELOPER 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 DEVELOPER'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%
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.
23. 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 of Miami 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 of Miami, a valid
and enforceable easement will be vested to the COUNTY. The DEVELOPER shall pay for
all recording fees and for all documentary stamps. The details for all conveyances are
specified herein. Failure of the DEVELOPER to provide proper conveyances shall be
cause for the COUNTY to refuse to render service to the DEVELOPER'S property.
24. 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 DEVELOPER. 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 DEVELOPER shall pay
for all recording fees and for all documentary stamps. These conveyances shall be
Page 8 of 15
WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
accompanied by copies of paid bills and lien waivers, releases, or satisfactions from all
persons who performed work on the DEVELOPER'S property and all persons who
incorporate materials into the property, together with a breakdown of the actual cost of said
facilities. Concurrently, the DEVELOPER shall furnish the COUNTY with as -built drawings
which meet the 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 approval by the DEPARTMENT. Approval by the COUNTY of all required
documents and 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.
25. WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE BOND. The DEVELOPER warrants that
the water and sewer 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 and/or sewer facilities, the
DEVELOPER shall deliver to the COUNTY an executed maintenance bond or alternate
security deposit acceptable to the DEPARTMENT, which guarantees the warranty. If it
becomes necessary to repair and/or replace any of the facilities during the initial one (1)
year period, then the warranty as to those items repaired and/or replaced shall continue to
remain in effect for an additional period of one (1) year from the date of final acceptance by
the COUNTY of those repairs and/or replacement. The bond shall be in the amount equal
to the sum of those portions of the actual cost of construction of said facilities as follows:
Types of Facilities Percentage of Actual Construction Cost
Water mains 25
Gravity sewers 50
The bonds shall have as the surety thereon only such surety company as is acceptable to
the COUNTY and which is authorized to write bonds of such character and amount under
the laws of the State of Florida. A surety company must have a Best's Key Rating Guide
General Policyholder's Rating of "A" or better and a Financial Category of Class "V"
or better or be acceptable to the COUNTY. The attorney-in-fact or other officer who signs a
bond must file with such bonds a certified copy of his power-of-attorney authorizing him to
do so. The Maintenance Bond may be written with the DEVELOPER'S contractor as
"Principal" and the DEVELOPER and the COUNTY as "Co -obligees" or the COUNTY as
sole "Obligee". In the alternative, the DEVELOPER may be named as "Principal" and 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
within the DEVELOPER'S property at the time of conveyance, the COUNTY shall have the
right to require that the term of the Maintenance Bond be extended for a period not to
exceed an additional two (2) years. Upon demand by the COUNTY, the DEVELOPER
shall cause to be corrected all such defects which are discovered within the warranty period
or periods as set forth above, failing which the COUNTY shall make such repairs and/or
Page 9 of 15
WATSON ISLAND AIR TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, ID# 22183
replacements of defective work and/or materials and the DEVELOPER and/or its Surety
shall be liable to the COUNTY for all costs arising therefrom. The DEVELOPER also
warrants that it shall be solely responsible for the repair of any damages to said facilities
caused by persons in its employment.
26. TERM OF AGREEMENT. Both the DEVELOPER and the COUNTY
recognize that time is of the essence and that this Agreement shall be deemed null and
void and unenforceable if the DEVELOPER fails to comply with any of the following
conditions, where applicable:
a. After execution of this Agreement, work on the water and sewer facilities
shall commence within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the execution
date. Work shall be considered to have commenced and be in active
progress when engineering drawings are submitted to the DEPARTMENT for
review and approval, and, upon the DEPARTMENT'S issuance of said
approval, a full complement of workmen and equipment is present at the site
to diligently incorporate materials and equipment into the construction of the
water and sewer facilities throughout the day on each full working day,
weather permitting.
b. Once the DEVELOPER commences work on the water and sewer facilities,
said work cannot be suspended, abandoned, or not in active progress for a
period exceeding three hundred sixty-five (365) days.
C. The remedies specified herein are cumulative with and supplemental to any
other rights which the COUNTY may have pursuant to the law or any other
provision of this agreement.
27. INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSE. The DEVELOPER shall indemnify and hold
harmless the COUNTY and its officers, employees, agents and instrumentalities from any
and all liability, losses or damages, including attorney's fees and costs of defense, which
the COUNTY or its officers, employees, agents or instrumentalities may incur as a result of
claims, demands, suits, causes of actions or proceedings of any kind or nature arising out
of, relating to or resulting from the performance of this Agreement by the DEVELOPER or
its employees, agents, servants, partners, principals, contractors and/or subcontractors.
The DEVELOPER shall pay all claims and losses in connection therewith and shall
investigate and defend all claims, suits or actions of any kind or nature in the name of the
COUNTY, where applicable, including appellate proceedings, and shall pay all costs,
judgments, and attorney's fees which may issue thereon. The DEVELOPER expressly
understands and agrees that any insurance protection required by this Agreement or
otherwise provided by the DEVELOPER shall in no way limit the responsibility to indemnify,
keep and save harmless and defend the COUNTY or its officers, employees, agents and
instrumentalities as herein provided. The provisions in this clause shall survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement.

28. FORCE MAJEURE. Should either party be prevented from performing any
obligations herein, including but not limited to water and/or sewer service, due to or
resulting from a force majeure or inevitable accident or occurrence, such party shall be
excused from performance. As used herein, force majeure shall mean an act of God which
includes but is not limited to sudden, unexpected or extraordinary forces of nature such as
floods, washouts, storms, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, landslides, epidemics, explosions
or other forces of nature. Inevitable accidents or occurrences shall mean those which are
unpreventable by either party and shall include but not be limited to strikes, lockouts, other
industrial disturbances, wars, blockades, acts of public enemies, insurrections, riots,
federal, state, county and local governmental restraints and restrictions, military action, civil
disturbances, explosions, conditions in federal, state, county and local permits, bid protests,
manufacturing and delivery delays, unknown or unanticipated soil, water or ground
conditions and cave-ins, or otherwise, and other causes reasonably beyond the control of
either party, whether or not specifically enumerated herein.
29. SERVICE CHARGES. The DEVELOPER agrees to pay to the COUNTY the
prevailing service charges for water supply and fire protection, sewage collection and
disposal within the DEVELOPER'S property as may be applicable until the responsibility for
payment of said charges is properly transferred in accordance with the COUNTY'S
regulations.
30. USE OF FACILITIES BY COUNTY. The COUNTY reserves the right to
make full use of the water and/or sewer facilities to be owned by the COUNTY as
contemplated herein to serve other customers at any time.
31. OPINION OF TITLE. With the execution of this Agreement, the
DEVELOPER at its own expense shall deliver to the DEPARTMENT an opinion of title for
the DEVELOPER'S property, issued by a qualified attorney licensed to practice law in the
State of Florida, which states that the City of Miami owns fee simple title to the property
referred to herein, and the DEVELOPER leases such property.
32. BACTERIOLOGICAL TESTS AND INDEMNIFICATION. DEP requires that
prior to the rendition of any new water service by the DEPARTMENT, bacteriological tests
must be performed. It is the responsibility of the DEVELOPER to comply with all such
requirements and to obtain all necessary approvals. In addition, the use of floating meters
for construction purposes is subject to State of Florida requirements and approval by the
COUNTY. The DEVELOPER may request approval for the use of floating meters prior to
actual conveyance of title to the facilities to the COUNTY. However, the COUNTY may be
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 DEVELOPER 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
rendition of water service through the facilities constructed and installed by the
DEVELOPER prior to conveyance of title to the COUNTY, including but not limited to those
that result from failure to properly maintain and repair the water facilities.

33. ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT. No right to any water supply and sewage
disposal service commitment provided for in this Agreement shall be transferred, assigned
or otherwise conveyed to any other party without the express written consent of the Director
of the DEPARTMENT or his designee except as noted below. The consent 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 orwho
intends to develop for sale a portion of the DEVELOPER'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
