2. SCOPE OF WORK.
Upon receipt of written notice to proceed from the DISTRICT, the COOPERATOR shall
perform the services necessary to complete the PROJECT in accordance with the
COOPERATOR'S Project Plan. Any changes to this Agreement, except as provided
herein, must be mutually agreed to in a formal written amendment approved by the
DISTRICT and the COOPERATOR prior to being performed by the COOPERATOR.
The COOPERATOR shall be solely responsible for managing and controlling the
PROJECT, both during and after construction and during and after the operation and
maintenance of the PROJECT, including the hiring and supervising of any consultants
or contractors it engages.
The parties agree that time is of the essence in the performance of each obligation under
this Agreement.
3. FUNDING.
The parties anticipate that the total cost of the PROJECT will be One Hundred Seventy
Six Thousand Dollars ($176,000). The DISTRICT agrees to fund PROJECT costs up
Page 2 of 13
to Eighty Eight Thousand Dollars ($88,000), and shall have no obligation to pay any
costs beyond this maximum amount. The COOPERATOR agrees to provide all
remaining funds necessary for the satisfactory completion of the PROJECT.
3.1 The DISTRICT'S performance and payment pursuant to this Agreement are
contingent upon the DISTRICT'S Governing Board appropriating funds in its
approved budget for the PROJECT in each fiscal year of this Agreement. The
COOPERATOR'S payment of any financial obligation under this Agreement is
subject to appropriation by the COOPERATOR'S Council of legally available
funds.
3.2 The COOPERATOR shall pay PROJECT costs prior to requesting
reimbursement from the DISTRICT. The DISTRICT shall reimburse the
COOPERATOR for the DISTRICT'S share of allowable PROJECT costs in
accordance with the PROJECT budget contained in the Project Plan.
Reimbursement for expenditures of contingency funds is contingent upon
approval by the DISTRICT. If a reimbursement request includes the expenditure
of contingency funds, the COOPERATOR shall provide sufficient documentation
to the DISTRICT to explain the basis of the expense. The DISTRICT shall not
reimburse the COOPERATOR for any contingency funds that the DISTRICT
determines, in its sole discretion, to be in excess of what was reasonably
necessary to complete the PROJECT. The DISTRICT shall reimburse the
COOPERATOR for fifty percent (50 %) of all allowable costs in each DISTRICT
approved invoice received from the COOPERATOR, but at no point in time shall
the DISTRICT'S expenditure amounts under this Agreement exceed
expenditures made by the COOPERATOR.
3.3 Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, any federal, state, local or grant
monies received by the COOPERATOR for this PROJECT shall be applied to
equally reduce each party's share of PROJECT costs. The COOPERATOR shall
provide the DISTRICT with written documentation detailing its allocation of any
such funds appropriated for this PROJECT. This subparagraph shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
3.4 The COOPERATOR may contract with consultant(s), contractor(s) or both to
accomplish the PROJECT. The COOPERATOR must obtain the DISTRICT'S
written approval prior to posting solicitations for consultants or contractors and
prior to entering into agreements with consultants or contractors to ensure that
costs to be reimbursed by the DISTRICT under those agreements are reasonable
and allowable under this Agreement. The DISTRICT shall provide a written
response to the COOPERATOR within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the
solicitation or agreement. Upon written DISTRICT approval, the budget amounts
for the work set forth in such contract(s) shall refine the amounts set forth in the
PROJECT budget and be incorporated herein by reference. The DISTRICT shall
not reimburse the COOPERATOR for costs incurred under consultant and
contractor agreements until the DISTRICT approvals required under this
provision have been obtained.
Page 3 of 13
3.5 Payment shall be made to the COOPERATOR within forty -five (45) days of
receipt of an invoice with adequate supporting documentation to satisfy auditing
purposes. Invoices shall be submitted to the DISTRICT every two (2) months
electronically at invoicesWaterMatters.orq, or at the following address:
Accounts Payable Section
Southwest Florida Water Management District
Post Office Box 15436
Brooksville, Florida 34604 -5436
The above - referenced payment due date shall not apply to that portion of an
invoice that includes contingency expenses. The DISTRICT agrees to reimburse
the COOPERATOR for contingency expenses within a reasonable time to
accommodate the process provided for in subparagraph 2 of this Funding
Paragraph.
In addition to sending an original invoice to the DISTRICT'S Accounts Payable
Section as required above, copies of invoices may also be submitted to the
DISTRICT'S Contract Manager in order to expedite the review process. Failure
of the COOPERATOR to submit invoices to the DISTRICT in the manner
provided herein shall relieve the DISTRICT of its obligation to pay within the
aforementioned timeframe.
3.6 If at any point during the progression of the PROJECT the DISTRICT determines
that it is likely that the Measurable Benefit, as set forth in the Project Plan, will not
be achieved, the DISTRICT shall provide the COOPERATOR with fifteen (15)
days advance written notice that the DISTRICT shall withhold payments to the
COOPERATOR until such time as the COOPERATOR demonstrates that the
PROJECT shall achieve the required resource benefits, to provide the
COOPERATOR with an opportunity to cure the deficiencies. Furthermore, if at
any point during the progression of the PROJECT, it is determined by the
DISTRICT, in its sole discretion, that the Resource Benefit as set forth in the
Project Plan may not be achieved, the DISTRICT may terminate this Agreement
without any payment obligation. Such termination shall be effective ten (10) days
following the COOPERATOR'S receipt of written notice from the DISTRICT.
3.7 Any travel expenses which may be authorized under this Agreement shall be paid
in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes (F.S.) as may be amended
from time to time. The DISTRICT shall not reimburse the COOPERATOR for any
purpose not specifically identified in the Scope of Work Paragraph. Surcharges
added to third party invoices are not considered an allowable cost under this
Agreement. Costs associated with in -kind services provided by the
COOPERATOR are not reimbursable by the DISTRICT and may not be included
in the COOPERATOR'S share of funding contributions under this Agreement.
3.8 The DISTRICT has no obligation and shall not reimburse the COOPERATOR for
any costs under this Agreement until the Notice to Proceed with construction has
been issued to the COOPERATOR'S contractor.
Page 4 of 13
3.9 Each COOPERATOR invoice must include the following certification, and the
COOPERATOR hereby delegates authority by virtue of this Agreement to its
Project Manager to affirm said certification:
"I hereby certify that the costs requested for reimbursement and the
COOPERATOR'S matching funds, as represented in this invoice, are directly
related to the performance under the Druid Road Stormwater Improvement Area
(N720) agreement between the Southwest Florida Water Management District
and the City of Clearwater (Agreement No. 16CF0000153), are allowable,
allocable, properly documented, and are in accordance with the approved project
budget. This invoice includes $_ of contingency expenses. The COOPERATOR
has been allocated a total of $_ in federal, state, local or grant monies for this
PROJECT (not including DISTRICT funds) and $_ has been allocated to this
invoice, reducing the DISTRICT'S and COOPERATOR'S share to $_ / $
respectively."
3.10 In the event any dispute or disagreement arises during the course of the
PROJECT, including whether expenses are reimbursable under this Agreement,
the COOPERATOR will continue to perform the PROJECT work in accordance
with the Project Plan. The COOPERATOR is under a duty to seek clarification
and resolution of any issue, discrepancy, or dispute by providing the details and
basis of the dispute to the DISTRICT'S Contract Manager no later than ten (10)
days after the precipitating event. If not resolved by the Contract Manager, in
consultation with his or her Bureau Chief, within ten (10) days of receipt of notice,
the dispute will be forwarded to the DISTRICT'S Assistant Executive Director.
The DISTRICT'S Assistant Executive Director in consultation with the
DISTRICT'S Office of General Counsel will issue the DISTRICT'S final
determination. The COOPERATOR'S continuation of the PROJECT work as
required under this provision shall not constitute a waiver or any legal remedy
available to the COOPERATOR concerning the dispute.
4. COMPLETION DATES.
The COOPERATOR shall commence and complete the PROJECT and meet the task
deadlines in accordance with the project schedule set forth in the Project Plan, including
any extensions of time provided by the DISTRICT in accordance with subparagraph 1
of the Project Contacts and Notices Paragraph. In the event of hurricanes, tornados,
floods, acts of God, acts of war, or other such catastrophes, or other man -made
emergencies such as labor strikes or riots, which are beyond the control of the
COOPERATOR, the COOPERATOR'S obligations to meet the time frames provided in
this Agreement shall be suspended for the period of time the condition continues to exist.
During such suspension, this Agreement shall remain in effect. When the
COOPERATOR is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement,
in whole or in part, it shall immediately give the DISTRICT written notice to that effect
and shall resume performance no later than two (2) working days after the notice is
delivered. The suspension of the COOPERATOR'S obligations provided for in this
provision shall be the COOPERATOR'S sole remedy for the delays set forth herein.

5. REPAYMENT.
5.1 The COOPERATOR shall repay the DISTRICT all funds the DISTRICT paid to
the COOPERATOR under this Agreement, if a) the COOPERATOR fails to
complete the PROJECT in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including failing to meet the Measurable Benefit, b) the DISTRICT
determines, in its sole discretion and judgment, that the COOPERATOR has
failed to maintain scheduled progress of the PROJECT thereby endangering the
timely performance of this Agreement, c) the COOPERATOR fails to appropriate
sufficient funds to meet the task deadlines, unless extended in accordance with

of the above conditions exist that require the COOPERATOR to repay the
DISTRICT, this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the procedure set

and remedies in this provision are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided
by law or this Agreement.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AGREEMENT NO. 16CF0000153
The PROJECT is a cooperative funding project located within the City of Clearwater
(COOPERATOR) in Pinellas County. The PROJECT is consistent with the Surface Water
Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plans for Tampa Bay, a SWIM priority water
body, which outlines goals to restore habitat and reduce pollutant loads entering Tampa
Bay.
The PROJECT includes construction of stormwater retrofits, including a nutrient
separating baffle box, a Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practice
(BMP), to reduce pollutant loads to Allen's Creek. The drainage area includes
approximately 42 acres of currently untreated stormwater runoff. LID BMPs will be
implemented within the Druid Road area between Sarcturas Avenue and 10th Street along
Druid Road south of Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
DISTRICT funds approved for the PROJECT will be used only for construction of BMP
elements that provide enhancements to stormwater treatment above and beyond the
permit requirements for stormwater treatment. The COOPERATOR will cost share in the
funding of these BMP elements.
The COOPERATOR shall, separate to this Agreement and prior to implementation of the
PROJECT, design the stormwater improvement BMPs, secure the necessary rights -of-
way, easements and all necessary permits for construction.
PROJECT TASKS
Key tasks to be performed by the COOPERATOR:
1. BID AND CONTRACTOR SELECTION — The COOPERATOR shall procure a
contractor to implement the PROJECT based on the final design plans and approved
permits in accordance with all laws applicable to the COOPERATOR.
2. CONSTRUCTION — The COOPERATOR shall construct the PROJECT in
conformance with the final design plans, specifications and approved permits.
3. CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION (CEI) — The COOPERATOR
shall review all shop drawings, complete engineering inspections and monitor all
