contingency fund to be used as hereinafter provided for changes to the Utility Work during the construction
of the Project (the "Contingency Fund").
d. Payment of the funds pursuant to this paragraph will be made (choose one):

amount of the deposit made pursuant to Subparagraph c. above, then subject to and in accordance with the
limitations and conditions established by Subparagraph 2. c. hereof regarding FOOT participation in the cost

FOOT will notify the UAO as soon as it becomes apparent the accepted bid amount plus allowances and
contingency is in excess of the advance deposit amount; however, failure of the FOOT to so notify the UAO
shall not relieve the UAO from its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting as
provided herein below. In the event that the UAO is obligated under this Subparagraph 3.e. to pay an
additional amount and the additional amount that the UAO is obligated to pay does not exceed the

notified by the FOOT accordingly. The UAO agrees to provide, in advance of the additional work being
performed, adequate funds to ensure that cash on deposit with the FOOT is sufficient to fully fund its share
of the project costs. The FOOT shall notify the UAO as soon as it becomes apparent the actual costs will
overrun the award amount; however, failure of the FOOT to so notify the UAO shall not relieve the UAO from
its obligation to pay for its full share of project costs on final accounting as provided herein below.
h. The FOOT may use the funds paid by the UAO for payment of the cost of the Utility Work. The Contingency
Fund may be used for increases in the cost of the Utility Work which occur because of quantity overruns or
because of adjustments or changes in the U1i1ity Work made pursuant to Subparagraph 2. h. Prior to using
any of the Contingency Fund, the FOOT will obtain the written concurrence of the person delegated that
responsibility by written notice from the UAO. The delegatee shall respond immediately to all requests for
written concurrence. If the delegatee refuses to provide written concurrence promptly and the FOOT
determines that the work is necessary, the FOOT may proceed to perform the work and recover the cost
thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 337.403(3), Florida Statutes. In the event that the Contingency
Fund is depleted, the UAO shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from notification from the FOOT, pay
to the FOOT an additional 1 0% of the total obligation of the UAO for the cost of the Utility Work established
under Subparagraph 3. e. for future use as the Contingency Fund.

costs incurred in connection with the work performed hereunder within three hundred sixty (360) days. All

UAO. The notice of claim for indemnification shall be served by certified mail. The UAO's obligation to defend and
