WHEREAS, the CITY has received a funding con'unitment from the SWFWMD to develop a
stormwater drainage system which will accommodate approximately 27 acres of the
Clearwater Mall property, and to construct a stormwater treatment facility to retrofit said 27
acres, which facility shall be located on the property described in Exhibit "B" hereto (the
entire retrofit project shall be hereafter referred to as the "Project"; provided, however, that
the parties acknowledge and understand that physical changes to the Clearwater Mall
property described in Exhibit "A", including actual construction of improvements and
facilities, shall take place only on that portion of the property described on Exhibit "B");
and,
I
J
WHEREAS, the CITY is responsible for acquiring the necessary land interests from
HOLLAND to construct, operate and maintain the Project; and,
WHEREAS, the CITY and HOLLAND have reached an understanding as to the relationship
and obligations each party shall have with regard to accomplishing the Project, and hereby
desire to reduce said understanding to this written Cooperative Easement and Maintenance
Agreement (the "Agreement").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, conditions
and terms set forth herein, the CITY and HOLLAND hereby mutually agree as follows:
1- SCOPE OF WORK. The CITY shall be responsible for obtaining all geotechnical and
field survey work; design of the stormwater treatment facility; preparation of construction
plans and specifications for demolition of the existing structure, construction of the
stormwater treatment facility and installation of landscaping; state and local permitting;
preparation of bid packages; contractor selection; construction administration; and post
construction moiritoring and reporting for the Project.
HOLLAND shall be responsible for the permanent maintenance of the stormwater treatment
facility. These responsibilities shall include, but are not necessarily limited to: removal of
undesirable and/or exotic plant species such as cattails, water hyacinths and brazilian pepper;
cleaning debris and sediment deposits from the outfall control structure, inlet pipe(s), storm
inlets, bleed down devices, etc.; removing accumulated sediment from the retention area;
repair of side slope erosion; controlling vegetation within the retention area to assure that the
storage volume and flow capacity is not impaired; scarification of the retention area bottom
to assure percolation; and other maintenance as may be required by permits issued for the
Project.
2.- PROJECT SITE. The parcel of land on which the Project will be located is described
in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
3.- EASEMENT. As a part of this Agreement, HOLLAND hereby grants the CITY a
perpetual, non-exclusive drainage easement covering the land on which the Project is to be
-2-

OFF.REC.BK 9513 PG 18
located (as described in Exhibit "B" attached hereto). In addition, HOLLAND hereby grants
the CITY a temporary construction easement giving the CITY and its agents reasonable
access to the Project site to allow for the construction of the Project. Upon completion of
the Project, said temporary construction easement automatically shall terminate. Thereafter,
the CITY shall have a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over the property described in
Exhibit "A" hereto for the following, limited purposes: (a) to provide the CITY and its
agents with ingress and egress to the Project for the purposes described hereafter; (b) to
allow the CITY to perform all post -construction monitoring and reporting required by any
and all permits issued for the Project; and (c) to perform any maintenance work agreed to by
the parties and to make any repairs that may be needed.
Notwithstanding the above, and except in the event of an emergency, the CITY shall not be
permitted access to the Clearwater Mall property for purposes of making improvements
(including the initial construction) during the months of November and December, or on
weekends (in any month), such restricted times being the Mall's peak business times.
No physical modifications shall be made to the stormwater treatment facility, except as
provided in this Agreement, unless approved in writing by the CITY, by HOLLAND, and by
any other Federal or State authorities having jurisdiction over the Project.
4.- CONTRACTOR. The CITY shall engage the services of a general contractor through a
competitive bid process to construct the Project. Nothing contained herein shall create any
obligation on the part of HOLLAND to defend any challenge brought by any offerer
regarding selection of the contractor. The contract between the CITY and the contractor
shall require a Performance, Payment and Guarantee Bond and the contractor's
comprehensive liability insurance shall name the SWFWMD, the CITY and HOLLAND as
additional insureds.
5.- COMPLIANCE WITH HOLLAND REOUIREMENTS. Coincident with the Project's
design, the CITY shall meet with HOLLAND staff to review the Project's design to ensure
the Project will comply with all applicable HOLLAND requirements. Thereafter, no
material changes to the design shall be made without HOLLAND's written consent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.
6.- PERMITS. The CITY shall act as the applicant of all permit applications required for
the Project and shall be responsible for all applicable permit application fees.
7.- FUNDING. Although the CITY contemplates that the cost of construction of the Project
will be reimbursed to the City by the SWFWMD, the CITY nevertheless shall be responsible
for all costs associated with the design, permitting, construction advertisement and
construction administration of the Project. The CITY shall be responsible for all post-
construction monitoring and reporting that may be identified in applicable permit(s) issued
for the Project.

13.- MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties and may be amended only by a written mutual agreement specifically referencing this
Agreement and signed by all parties hereto.
I

14.- INDEMNIFICATION. The CITY hereby indemnifies and holds harmless HOLLAND
for any damages or liabilities incurred by HOLLAND (including legal fees) resulting from
negligent and/or faulty design, construction, operation, or repair, of the Project, provided,
however, that the maximum sum for which the CITY shall be exposed to liability in this
paragraph 14 shall not exceed those sums of money permissible under and by the terms of
Section 768.28, Florida Statutes plus any excess liability insurance coverage purchased by the
CITY.
15.- ATTORNEYS' FEES. Should either party employ an attorney or attorneys to enforce
any of the provisions hereof, or to protect its interest in any matter arising under this
Agreement, or to recover damages for the breach of this Agreement, the party prevailing
shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable costs, charges and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, expended or incurred in connection therewith.
16.- RIGHTS OF OTHERS. The grants contained herein are subject to the rights, if any,
of Clearwater Mall tenants and any financial institution (now existing or existing in the
future) that has a mortgage interest in the Clearwater Mall property.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, or their lawful representatives, have
executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
